CHAPTER: Needle talk
Dedication: I dedicate this to people who reviewed the last chapter and to my friends at school who read this chapter first.
The day had been an exhausting and disappointing one; she needed to clear her head. So she went to the only place where she could do that. Max sat on the needle looking down at the streets of Seattle. She liked it up there. Sometimes even Alec would join her, and they'd talk or sometimes just remain silent. Her mind drifted to what Normal and Sketchy said, ' she's the only on worthy of my Golden boy, Alec you're a lucky man.' She closed her eyes at the thought, she wished they were talking about her but they weren't. She didn't know who she was angrier with, herself, Amelia or even Alec. She wished she could just tell him that she had a 'thing' for him or even be nice to him. It was easy to think about it but she could never do it, she couldn't even admit it to her best friend and only recently she admitted it to herself.
It was kind of ironic, when he was there for the taking she didn't want him; now that he wasn't free she suddenly saw how much she needed him. She now understood exactly what people meant when they said: 'you don't know what you gat till it's gone'. Max sat there a thought about the many scenarios in which she and Alec could get together, her favorite involved Amelia being dumped in a garbage truck. She grinned at the thought.
Max found that someone else was laughing with her, a light girlish giggle. She got up and went to see what it was. It was Amelia who was laughing, her eyes were closed and Alec was leading her to the outside. She didn't want him to see her but he already did. " Hey," she said dryly.
He saw that something was wrong with Max, she looked more than frustrated she also looked depressed. " Hi Max," he said cautiously.
At the mention of her name Amelia opened her eyes. " Hi Max," she said pleasantly. She looked around at her surroundings, " where are we?"
" The most famous best kept secret in Seattle." Everyone knew about the needle, it was a hard thing to miss but not everyone knew it like how she knew, how she thought Alec knew it. It was some place special to them not just something to share with anyone. And here he was, sharing it with her, like it didn't mean anything to him. She figured that she must have been making too big of a deal about it. " I was just going," she said awkwardly.
" Excuse me for a minute," he said to Amelia. He went over to Max and carried her to a corner of the big room. Max felt his hand on he back; she knew that she would want to feel him touch her again. " Are you Okay Max?" he asked leaning close to her like he was telling her a secret.
She felt his warm breath on her face, it felt so safe knowing that he was so near to her and not to Amelia, " I'm fine," she said faking a smile.
He knew what that smile was, it was a fake smile. He knew she wasn't okay but he didn't want to force anything out of her so he settled for that. " Well if there's anything you want to talk about, you know I'm all ears right."
She looked into his eyes and she could see the genuineness of his statement, she almost forgot that Amelia was there and got lost in his hazel eyes. She smiled and nodded and he smiled back at her. They were just standing there looking into each other's eyes and smiling stupidly but some how moving closer and unaware they were doing it. The sound of Amelia banging into something forced them to look away.
" Well I'm going now?" She wished she could slap her right then but she decided it wouldn't look good if she did that.
He nodded and walked back over to Amelia. He looked at her leave and sighed. He wanted to leave so badly with her but he had company, Shit!
" So why did you bring me all the way up here?" Amelia asked.
He walked outside and she followed, " this," he said looking down. " Isn't it amazing."
" Well it's high," she said flatly like she wasn't impressed.
" I mean its kind of. never mind."
" What?"
" Well Max and I come here a lot to think, you know what mean? It's just a surreal feeling I get when I'm up here with her. She's only Max when she's telling me what's on her mind. Nothing more, no frills." He could go on forever but he didn't want to bore Amelia. " I don't expect anyone else to appreciate this like we do, it's just that we're different or maybe too similar. It's almost like she's the good half and I'm the bad half. Maybe one day we could be one. You know what I mean?"
" Yeah I think I know what you mean," she said nodding. " You know the next time you're up here with her and just thinking, maybe you could tell her what's on your mind for a change."
" And what would I do if she doesn't feel the same way, and I'm sure she doesn't." He wasn't asking for advice he was just pointing out how obviously ridiculous the idea was. " I can't jeopardize our relationship.it's not the best of relationships but it's better than nothing." Alec couldn't put his hand on it but every time he was with Amelia he would just start to spill secrets. It was strange that he would do that but he didn't mind releasing all that emotion he had built.
" Well sometimes it's worth putting it on the line," she said with a faraway gaze. " You don't want to put it on the back burner and then learn that you wasted so much time and you may never get to be with her."
He looked at her; he had a feeling like she wasn't talking about him. He didn't know what was going through her head and didn't really feel in the mood to venture there. " So how's ya boy doing?"
" He's clueless as usual," she said laughing at it. " I'm just goanna get it over with tomorrow.
" Really, I hope it goes well."
" I hope so too."

Max walked into her apartment. She wasn't expecting to see Cindy home but she was there sitting by the kitchen counter doing her nails. " Hey what's up?" she asked just out of courtesy.
" I'm still lacking dates," she said pitying herself. " So what's up with you?"
" Nothing" she said sloshing in a couch.
" Alec huh?"
" No," she lied.
" Max you don't have to lie, Original Cindy knows you too well girl."
Max sat up and looked at her, " okay let's say hypothetically that I did have feelings for Alec?"
" Then you tell him 'hypothetically,'"
" What if hypothetically he doesn't feel the same way, I mean he does have a girl friend."
" Now that's what Original Cindy can't help you with, it's just a risk you'll have to take, hypothetically that is."
" Why the hell did I have to go play Miss Match Maker?" She said pouting; his habits were rubbing off on her.
" The real question is, would you have been feeling this way if you hadn't?"
"I don't know, all I know is that I don't want him to be with anyone that is not me."
" So it's no longer hypothetical?" OC said with blowing her nails. " You're saying that you do wanna get buck wild with him."
" Well yes.. well no. I won't put it exactly like that."
" Then how will you put it?"
" I'll just say that I need him more that anyone else does."
NOTE: I don't think this good. But tell me if you all like it.
I know you all didn't want Alec to take Amelia there but it's all for a reason. It will come together.
Don't feel so sorry for Max just yet!! I'm not goanna tell you why you just have to wait and see.
