OC stood there, her hands crossed in front of her chest, worry written all over her face.
"How is she?" Logan asked interrupting her thoughts.
OC shrugged. She had been staring at Max and Alec for the last four hours. There was still no change. "She's going to lose it soon if Alec doesn't wake up." OC answered.
"That bad?" Logan asked, sounding a little surprised.
"Yes, actually worse." She sighed heavily. "She won't move. She just sits there and holds his hand and cries. She won't eat or talk to anyone. She's hysterical." She said looking at Logan.
"How did this happen?" Logan asked. He was the last to be notified and no one had given him any explanation since he got here two hours ago.
"They were hunted and gunned down." OC replied.
Logan didn't seem shocked, just sorry.
"She practically took a pick-up truck driver hostage just to get Alec to the hospital. That's what I hear at least." She added.
Logan nodded.
"I want her to be okay." OC said to Logan who looked baffled, not knowing what to do.
What the hell was he supposed to do? It was obvious Max wasn't going anywhere with Alec in that condition.
"I want them to be okay." She corrected herself.
"I know." Logan said quietly. He did too. Despite the hurt he was feeling, he hoped that Alec would be okay. It didn't matter that he was still angry at both of them. He'd have to put his hate on hold and be supportive for Max and Alec's sake.
OC and Logan sat there, lost in their own thoughts, both hoping for the best to come out of this.
Max looked at Alec worriedly. She'd been staring at him for the longest time.
She was hurting all over.
She didn't know if it was because she had been shot and hunted down and she was bruised on every part of her body or if it was because she was so damn scared for Alec.
Max didn't care.
"Alec, please." She whispered. She had said that almost ten times now. She didn't know what she was expecting to happen every time she said it. She just wanted him to move, to open his eyes, and say something.
Anything.
A million things were flooding in her mind. She was thinking too much. She was going to lose her sanity soon.
"I have lost everyone I loved Alec. Please, don't go too." Max whispered. "You're all I have left." She added.
It was true.
Zack was gone. He was Adam now, living in some farm, raising cattle. Not a clue about his past. Not a memory of Manticore or of Max.
Tinga died trying to save her son Case. And Charlie had gone all the way to Canada, wanting nothing to do with them.
Brin was somewhere. Like the rest of her siblings.
The rest of them, she didn't know where they were.
And of course there was Ben. Beautiful, brave Ben.
She killed him.
That was the worse. She loved him, and she admired him but in the end, it was her who took the last breath away from him.
He had died by her hands.
She had lost him today. She had lost so much already. Losing Alec would be like losing Ben again. If Alec died, she didn't know what she'd do. She would probably fall apart and maybe, just maybe, she's finally going to jump off the space needle.
End her misery.
"That's right. I'll be miserable without you." Max thought as she held him hand. Despite how she usually acted around Alec, it was hard to deny the fact that she cared.
Alec wasn't the object of her misery. Life without Alec was.
Max would always care.
He was Alec. Her pretty soldier boy with the bad attitude and the unnerving ability to get to her with a single word.
But she cared about him. He was family.
"No, more than that." Max mentally corrected herself. She loved him. She didn't know exactly how deep that love went but she knew she loved him.
Alec may look like Ben but her feelings for him weren't sisterly. They were different.
She couldn't explain it but right now, as she sat there, staring at him, she only saw Alec.
Her Alec.
"I love you." She didn't know whether she had thought it or said it out loud but Max didn't care. "You better make it out of this Alec because I want you to know." She continued quietly. "I want you to know that I care. That I love you. And besides, whose ass am I going to kick when I'm pissed?" She added with a miserable smile.
Logan watched Max and Alec as OC went to get something to eat. She loved Alec.
Really loved him.
Logan finally realized it. The whole thing wasn't just a simple one night stand or a way to cheat on him. It was more than that.
Logan saw it now as he watched Max sit there, beside Alec, with her head resting on the side of his bed, holding his hand.
Max never looked at him like that. She had never cried that hard for him.
But this was Alec and somehow it was all different.
Logan sighed. He felt genuinely sorry for them.
If it made Max happy, if it took that tortured look away from her face, then Logan prayed for Alec to live.
Hopefully.
