For those you send me e-mail about my English spelling, I just want to tell you that English isn't my first language, and that I'm trying very hard to not
let too many errors. She is the first story I write in English, ever, so thank you, I know you mean well, but it's a dead end for me, since I never learned
the grammar rules of the english language. And it's complicated too! lol! But thanks for your understanding, and I hope it's readable.

Max looked at the clock on the night table. 8:00 AM. She saw that Logan wasn't sleeping, in fact, he's been staring at her for almost an hour,
trying to imbue all details of her face in his mind, to be sure to be able to remember her perfectly.
"Hiya!" 'His voice is sofly charming this morning,' Max thought. He smiled at her.
" Good morning!" She left her pillow to gently kiss him, giggling over the 'good morning' mention she never thought she would say
to him one day. Well, she had thought about it, but she was practically sure it would never happen.
"So." Logan reluctantly said, loosing his beautiful smile.
"Yeah, so." She repeated, now loosing her good mood with reality steppin again on her happiness. "I should do it, you think?" She
asked him, taking a breath of defeat.
"You can't stay here in Seattle anymore Max. You gotta go." His voice was amazingly serious.
" Do you WANT me to leave?" She asked him, like a child would ask his mother if he really has to go to the dentist. "If you WANT me
to go, then I'll go."
"Do I WANT you to GO? Hell NO!" He answered her in disbelief. "Are you nuts this morning Max?" He asked her, facing her and
looking straight into her eyes. "I *don't* WANT you to go! But you HAVE to leave Max. I'm telling you sincerely that within all the choices I
had to make in my life, this is by far the hardest, but I'd rather know you'll be safe and sound somewhere far away from here, than dead or
something in Seattle." He took a pause to collect his thoughts. "I REALLY don't want to learn one day that you got shot, or that
you're back at Manticore and that they reprogrammed you into a soldier. THAT would be the WORST thing ever." He softly said to her, caressing
her hair with his hand.
" I don't want to sound childish Logan, but I don't want to go. I don't want to leave you, not now and not anytime soon." She hold him
tight while resting her head on his chest, softly caressing his skin.
"I'd rather have you here with me, holding you near me, and never let you go...so to speak, he said smiling at her over his last words, you know
that Max, I just got you in my life, but..."
"There goes the 'but' again!" She said ironically, rooling her eyes up to the ceiling.
" You know that you can't put aside the 'but' this time Max." Logan looked into Max's eyes, who smiled at him.
"Didn't seem to mind it last night, even quite enjoyed it I might add." Max said to him in a teasing voice.
"Didn't heard you complaining either." He replied, playing along. She provocatively smiled at him and reached his lips.
"You should have an award, an Oscar or whatever, for your perfect act of yesterday." They started laughing and after a few laughs, they got
quiet, holding on to each other. "Can you get us passports and fake IDs?" Max asked him, breaking the ice with that dreadful question.
Logan closed his eyes, realizing that it was going to happen, she was leaving, and he also knew who the US were. It was Zack, Brin and her.
"Sure, I talked to Brin yesterday, and I already made arrangements for her and Zack, so one more wont be a problem." She made an OK sign
with her head, unable to talk. "They're going to Canada, but 'that' you already knew..." Logan shut up, not knowing what to say anymore,
both of them was trying to shield themselves from the pain it was causing them.
"Then you should take care of it the sooner the better. I'll go make breakfast...well, coffee." Max told Logan, lacking all sorts of
emotions.
They got out of bed without talking, nor looking at each other, afraid to say anything that could jeopardize the events of the day. Max got out of
the room before Logan, and she closed the door behind her, walking in the direction of the kitchen, she was already smelling the coffee.
'Hmmm...coffee.' That was almost ecstasy to her smelling sense.
"Hello Max!" Said a very joyful Bella to her.
"Hey Bella, you made coffee?...Your my hero!" Said Max to her, smiling and pooring coffee into a cup. "I LOOOOVE coffee." Max
added cheefully, trying to clear her mind of unpleasant thoughts.
"So?", asked Bella in such a funny voice that Max stared at her, "Did you sleep well last night?" Max blanked stared at a smiling
Bella winking at her. Max's eyes went wide open and she almost choked over her sip of coffee.
"Nooooo?" She asked Bella, highly embarrassed. "You didn't...did you?" O-H M-Y G-O-D...
"Oh! Yes...I did!...And it sounded quite entertaining!" Bella added, smiling at Max.
"I'm so sorry...I didn't think...we didn't know...I...he..." Max just stoped stuttering and sat on a kitchen chair, nervously laughing.
"Hmmm, who was HERE for the night?" 'Please not Bling, Zack and everyone else!'
"Bling went to his place, and Zack went, well, whatever the place he went to, he was there." Bella was enjoying herself very much. She
liked to tease people, and mostly those involved with her dear cousin. "So it was just Brin and me." She tried to get serious, but
wasn't highly successful. "Oh! yeah, we heard everything...we even got popcorn!" To this one, Bella couldn't resist but laughed out
loud. Max got her head on the table and hide it with her arms.
" Oh! Your SO mean Bella!" Said Max, hysterically laughing.
"Look Max, it's no big deal, we're all adults here, I just thought it would be funny to tease you a little, because I can't tease my lovely
cousin with this anymore."
"But still." Max said, standing up and walking towards her. "I'm not used to share my private life with people." She sat on
the couch, looking at Sophie playing with her toys on the floor. "Thank you for yesterday, it meant a lot for me."
"No problem Max, you know, I think you're what Logan needed in his life, I should be the one thanking you." Bella truthfully smiled at
Max.
"Well, after what happened yesterday, we decided I should get out of town today, so I wont be around here anymore." Max went into another
planet.
"Earth to Max..." Max stared at Bella.
"Huh?"
"You love him don't you?" Bella asked her, not knowing if she should.
"Very much so." Max told her, taking a sip of coffee.
"He loves you too you know, I'm telling you in case his male ego didn't." Max laughed at Bella. 'She sure knows the guy!'
"I know Bella, it looks like he got over his male ego." Max smiled at herself, thinking about Logan. Bella studied her face, and understood
how complicated her life was, and what they will have to face today. She was sad for Logan too, who had found this gorgeous woman, whom he deeply fell in
love with, and who's accepting him just the way he is. And now, he has to let her go. 'Damn!', thought Bella, feeling strongly for both of them. She had
always believed in *true Love* and *soul mates*, and Bella could see those two were. 'Life stinks!', she said to herself, wanting to do more for them.
"I'm deeply sorry, for both of you. I know it must be hard to let go."
"I sort of knew this was gonna happen one day." Just didn't think it would come that fast!
Logan got out of the bedroom, and went directly to his computer, to take care of the passports and IDs. He stayed there for about 15 minutes, and then wheeled
himself to the kitchen, silently. Max and Bella stared at each other and Bella made a slight smile to her. 'Give him a few minutes and he'll be fine.' She wispered
to Max.
"Hello Boo!" Max said to Sophie, changing the subject. "I'm glad you didn't leave yesterday, that way I'll be able to say a proper 'goodbye' to my girl!" Max kissed
her on the cheeks, and Sophie laughed.
"She likes you." Bella said, playing with her daughter.
"I like her too, she's my other Boo...the first one being Original Cindy of course!"
"And what am I?" Asked Logan, trying to spend his last moment he had with Max cheefully, instead of otherwise. Max turned her head toward him. They smiled to each
others, and Logan sat on the counter to poor himself some coffee and to take a cereal box. Max walked near him and wispered to him "my heart" and then put herself
in his arms. Logan hold her and they kissed each other tenderly.
**************************
The IDs arrived at 2:00 PM, and Brin came back with Zack. Everybody was there, even Original Cindy and Kendra, whom Max had called earlier to come here. She explained to them
why she had to leave in the simplest manner. It was hard for everybody.
"I'll miss you terribly Boo." Said Original Cindy, giving Max a big hug. "Lokk what you do to me!", she said smiling at Max, wiping away a tear.
"I'll miss you too." And then came the turn of Kendra.
"Take care of yourself Max." She kissed her on the cheeks.
"I will Kendra." Max couldn't hold her tears anymore. "I'll miss my two girls so much!" The three of them hugged each others very hard, and then Max spoke. "You two take care of
my boy for me?"
"Promess." They said to Max.
Brin and Zack were already packing up the elevator to put some bags in the bus. Bella went to help them, even if there wasn't much, and she gave a sign to Original Cindy, sort of
telling her it was time for 'them' to say their 'goodbyes'.
"Boo, we'll go now because Original Cindy hates to say goodbye." And she took Kendra with her, pulling her by the vest. "Come on Sugar, time to leave." Kendra almost didn't have
the time to say 'bye!' that the door was already closed behind her.
Max laughed at them, knowing perfectly why they were leaving that fast. She turned around and faced Logan, who was sitting on the kitchen table, trying to look cool and strong. They
stared at each other, wanting to say something, but not knowing what. Both of their eyes looked red, and both of them were overwhelmed by the emotions going in and out of their bodies.
Max's lips pouted and she bit them, forcing herself to hold the tears that were falling down her face.
"I just can't seem to be able to stop crying!" She said in a crying-laughing kind of way,
while walking near him.
"Yeah, does that sometimes. Once the flow is open, it can't stop." He replied sadly, wrapping Max
in his arms.
They stayed there, holding on to each others tightly, no one wanting to let the other go, both
trying not to let the other see their emotions, but it wasn't much of a succeess.
After what seemed like an eternity, Max talked.
"I have to go now Logan." He loosen up his grip a little, and then took her face in his hands.
"Okay." He finaly said, putting his hands on the side of the table, staring at each other
again. "Goodbye Max." He soflt said to her, bitting his lip, hard.
"Goodbye Logan...don't forget me too soon." She said, managing a poor smile.
"Never in my life." Logan said, putting his hands on her waist and pulling his lips over hers.
They kissed themselves with everything they had within each others, like you'd do if you were kissing the love of your life for the last time.
Max pushed him away, thinking it was now or never, turned her back on him and walked away in silence, feeling the pain in her heart each time she put a foot in front of the other, and
closed the door behind her.
Logan fixed the back of the door, aware of the emptiness of the appartment, of his life, and feeling like he had just recieved a bullet in the chest.
