Summary: A moment of passion changes everything for Max and Alec.

Disclaimer: I own them in my dreams.

Without You, I Am Nothing Alec's POV

The world shift's, I feel it deep within me, I go from asleep, to awake, to alert within a heartbeat.

I keep my eyes closed, enjoying the sensations caused by the soft warm body I hold wrapped in my arms. I feel our hearts beat in unison, as one.

I inhale deeply, embracing the mixture of scents that attack me. The after scents of our passion, mixed with honey and vanilla.

Slowly I open my eyes, connecting with eyes so deep; I am lost in them, drowning. Her full lips curve upwards, smiling at me.

I watch as her chocolate coloured eyes cloud over, confusion dancing within them, her lips loose their curve, and lines mar the previously smooth skin of her forehead.

Her body shrinks back, away from mine.

Then she speaks, but not to me, "Oh God no, what the hell have I done". Her beautiful face wrinkles as she looks at me, disgust written all over it.

.

I know then that I have lost.

I watch as she climbs out of the bed, picking up her clothes discarded so hastily in our passion of last night.

Tears fall freely, silently down her flushed cheeks as she dresses quickly, her shirt is on inside out, but she doesn't notice, to busy trying to escape.

The silence in the room is deafening.

She walks towards the door, "don't go, not like this, last night", she cut's me dead, "last night was a mistake, it should never have happened, it meant….. Nothing". Her voice is harsh.

The door slams, leaving me in an empty room alone and broken.

" I love you…Max".

I am ignored

I am bypassed

I am overlooked

Without you

I am nothing
