BREATHE OUT


_____________________


"Max"
She heard that beautiful soft voice calling her name. She turned around and there he was. His face reflected all of his love for her and she realized that he loved her no matter what she decided.

Max took a step away from her mother. His love for her was so strong he was letting her go. She felt what he was feeling and fell in love with him all over again.
Her hand dropped to her side and she turned to tell her mother what she had decided.
When she turned she found a boy standing besides her mother. He was hiding behind her skirt but when he saw Max he smiled.

"Zack?"
"I came to say goodbye" The boy said.
Max smiled, they already knew what her decision was.
"Zack, I never got a chance to say goodbye or thank you"
The boy gave her a loving smile.

"Oh Maxie, you don't need to thank me for what I did."
"I just whish there had been something that I could've done for you"
"There still is"
"What?"
"Take care of my niece ok?"

Max nodded and turned to her mother

"Mom, will you still be here when I do have to go?"
"Of course my child. Now go and take good care of that baby"

Max nodded again. Blinding white light flooded her vision as the image of her mother and brother slowly faded.

Pain

Intense, throbbing pain.

'God, life sucks'

She looked down and saw Logan asleep. His face was twisted as if in pain and she realized that he was probably having a nightmare. 'He looks like hell! And probably so do I'

She tried to speak but her throat felt like sandpaper.

Max curled her delicate fingers around Logan's hand and gave him a small squeeze. He murmured something but didn't wake up so she squeezed again.

Logan opened his eyes groggily and groaned. with his free hand he rubbed his eyes. After a couple of seconds realization hit him. He snapped his head up like a rubber band and asked.
"Max?"

Max smiled
"MAX!" He screamed, threw his arms around her and gave her a kiss.
Original Cindy and Bling rushed into the room.

"Boo you're up!" Original Cindy shrieked.
"I'll go find a doctor" Bling left the room in a hurry.

Max made a throaty noise that sounded like water and Logan quickly reached for the pitcher next to her bed. He poured her a glass and helped her drink it. Original Cindy stood by the foot of Max's bed and rubbed her feet trough the covers, maybe to calm her down or maybe to make shure that she was ok.

"Logan, I love you" Max said.
"I thought I'd lost you Max. I love you"

Logan lay down on her bed and held her.
They were both crying. Logan's tears were of happiness, Max wasn't sure hers were too.
She knew that was what she wanted but she couldn't help the sad feeling in the back of her mind.
She was going to miss Zack and she was going to miss her mother even if she had never really met her.
They were her family and she couldn't just ignore that.


*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

After hundreds of tests were performed and dozens of doctors had checked on Max, the happy couple was finally left alone.

Max was sitting up, resting her chin on her folded knees. Logan was amazed by her strength, he couldn't believe that just a few hours ago she had been in a coma and apparently neither could the doctors.

Logan was sitting behind her on the bed. He was brushing her long silky hair with a comb.

"Logan?" Max asked after a few minutes of silence
"Yeah baby?"
"You do realize this isn't over yet don't you?" Max was worried. He was too but he couldn't let her see that. He had to be strong for her.

"I know Max but we'll get trough this, I know we will."
She leaned back against Logan's strong chest. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.
She was back and that was all that mattered. She was back... for now.
