Max snuck into the house as quietly as she possibly could for her to go unnoticed. But there was no such luck. Alex and Jondy had been much too worried about her to go back to sleep.
¡§ Oh thank goodness,¡¨ Jondy sighed with relief. ¡§ Max, where in the world have you been?¡¨ She asked, embracing her in a hug.
¡§Max, do you know how worried we were?¡¨ Alex exclaimed. ¡§ You¡¦re in heat, for crying out loud, what the hell were you thinking? What¡¦s Logan going to think?¡¨ Always the blunt one, Alex got straight to the point, ¡§ Did you sleep with some guy?¡¨
Jondy shot Alex a silencing glare. They had agreed earlier on that there would be no questions asked; not until Max was ready to talk.
Max bit her lip and tears filled her eyes. ¡§ I¡¦m taking a shower,¡¨ she said, her voice trembling slightly.
Jondy just nodded and Max headed to her room to get some clean clothes.
Just then, Max¡¦s cell phone rang. Alex picked it up from the coffee table and answered it wearily.
¡§Alex?¡¨ Logan asked anxiously. ¡§ Is Max there? I need to talk to her. It¡¦s really important.¡¨
¡§ Yeah, sure,¡¨ Alex said, hoping that talking to Logan would make Max feel better. She covered up the mouthpiece and said to Max as she was walking into the bathroom. ¡§ Max, it¡¦s Logan.¡¨
Max ignored her and slammed the bathroom door behind her. Water ran instantly, but it did nothing to hide the heart breaking sobs that had ensued.
¡§ Alex? What¡¦s the matter?¡¨ Logan asked, unable to conceal the worry in his voice.
¡§ Uh oh,¡¨ Jondy muttered, grabbing the phone from Alex. ¡§ Max is unavailable at the moment,¡¨ she told Logan.
¡§ Why? What happened? Jondy, what aren¡¦t you telling me?¡¨ When Jondy refused to respond, Logan slammed his fist onto his desk. ¡§ Damn it Jondy, I¡¦ve got a right to know if something happened to Max!¡¨
All Logan heard in response was the distinctive click of a disconnecting call.
Logan stared at the cell phone in his hand with disbelief. //What aren¡¦t they telling me? God, I know it concerns Max and it¡¦s driving me nuts//

A/N: I'm terribly sorry for this tiny little smidget of a chapter, but it's the best I can do for now. Since DA's unfortunate demise, I've slowly been losing interest in my little fanfic (I've almost forgotten the details to my own story) and honestly, I have no idea when it'll be the last time I update. Hopefully I will be able to get my act together and actually sit down and write so that the ending could bring satisfaction to all of you! Thank you so much for the encouraging reviews you guys have left me, I hope you continue.
