CHAPTER: Good-bye to you.
" Are you feeling any better?" Alec asked Max the morning after.
" Yeah," she said getting up from next to him. " You know what today is?"
" Yeah, it's Thursday."
" And do you know what happens today?" she said rubbing her hands.
" We get the money," he said forlornly.
She couldn't believe it. He wasn't even excited. When he found out he had won he seemed so sure about what he was going to do with money, now he was acting like he didn't even care. " I was expecting a different reaction."
Today was the day when he would lose all his possibilities of being with Max, once she got the cure that would be it for the relationship they were building. " Like you said 'its only money'."
" Well now we're actually getting to hold it."
" Exactly."
" So, are you gonna call in sick or what?"
" Why?"
" Because we can't go to the bank after work it will be closed by then."
" I don't think he would buy both me and you being sick on the same day."
" Tell him we have Chicken Pox."
" And what would he say when we show up on Friday Chicken Pox free."
" Well just say we ate some bad sushi. "
" I guess that would work."
Max went into the bathroom while Alec called Normal.

" I can't believe I'm holding so much money in my hands." Max said looking at the amount of money she had in her knap sack.
" Let's go spend it."
" You go ahead, I will go pay the doctor."
" You told him Friday, that's tomorrow."
Max thought about it, *it would be fun.* " Ok then."
" I'm gonna buy a big screen TV."
" You mean boob tube?"
He gave her a smirk, " if that's what you want to call it."
" You know what I mean."
He laughed, he really enjoyed being with Max, it as a breath of fresh air. " First lets get you that dress,"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" I'm coming out," Max said. She walked out of the changing room in a white flowing gown. "So what do you think?"
" You look.um," he was speechless. She looked so remarkably beautiful.
His lack of words was enough, " thanks," she said laughing, " if only I had a somewhere to go with it."
" I'm sure something will come up.' He stood up and went next to her. He looked at their reflection in the mirror; they looked so good together. It was how it was meant to be.
" Yeah Logan always has some kind of dinner party go to," she said smoothening out the material.
*It's always about Logan* he said in his mind. All he wanted to do was to tell Max how much he felt for her but he couldn't especially when she was so stuck on someone else. * Why can't love take my side for once?*
" Alec thank you so much," she kissed him on his cheek and put each one of his hands in hers. " Why do you keep being so nice to me?"
He shrugged his shoulders.
" And you're so modest about it." The mystery that was Alec kept getting more difficult to figure out. " You know you're like the best. friend I've ever had."
He didn't want to be her friend, he wanted everything, the whole Max, but he had to settle for friend because it was all he could get.
" How come you're so quiet?"
" I have a lot on my mind."
" Wanna talk about it?"
He looked into her those brown eyes and he wanted to melt away, " I'm sorry but I can't."
She stared back at him. He was being complicated again. She really wanted him to tell her what was bugging him to the point that he wouldn't be excited about money, but she couldn't force him. " Ok then but if you ever want to tell me, I'm all ears."
He nodded. " So you're going to the doctor now huh?"
" Yeah, why put off for tomorrow what you can do today?"
He shook his head, " guess that makes sense."
" So are you coming?"
" If you want me to."
" I want you to."

" You're a day early," Mr. Wong said when Max walked into his lab.
" Sorry,"
" That's OK, I pretty much done."
" Well I have the money,"
The doctor pulled out a tray of test tubes and took out one labeled Max. He then took a syringe and pulled some of the liquid into it. He moved towards Max and tried a piece of rubber around her hands. He took a quick glance at Alec who was looking like he was going to die. " Are you ready?" he asked Max. She nodded. " Are you ready," he said looking at Alec. Alec just tuned around and pretended he was looking at something. He injected Max with the cure and pulled the gloves of her hand. " And you're cured."
" Thank you so much doctor,"
" Well you gave me good incentive."
Max and Alec left the house shortly after, " let's go home so I could collect my things," Max said when they mounted their bikes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Max walked around the room picking up all the stuff that belonged to her. Alec sat on a chair and watched her. He felt like his world was closing in on him. Max kept on packing until she was finished.
She put her bag on her shoulder and went up to Alec and kissed him on his forehead, " see you around." He nodded.
She opened the door and took one last look at him. That's when he realized he had to tell her, if he let her leave now he would never get to be with her. He forgot all that was in his head and decided to give his heart a chance. He walked up and held her hand.
" What is it Alec," she asked looking at him. For a moment she knew what is was. She always wondered what that look meant, but now it was quite evidential what it was. He had this pleading look in his eyes every time he looked at her, she wasn't sure what it meant but she could almost take it for love.
" Max please don't go."
NOTE: I know this is an awful place to end this Chapter. I wanted to make it as exciting as possible. So please review to get the next chapter, it's already written.
