As Liz drove, she continued to mutter the word "Granolith". This started to make Max panic. She lightly tapped Liz on the shoulder and spoke with a concerned face, "Liz, where are we going?"
"The Granolith holds the key. We've got to get there before it's too late!" Liz didn't even turn her head to face Max.
"You're not making any sense! What is a granolith? How on earth is that going to save Logan?!" Max was shouting now in frustration. "Why aren't you answering me???"
Liz sighed heavily and decided to tell Max the truth about the Granolith, future MAX and the "end of the world".
Max looked at Liz, waiting for her to speak. "It was probably 15-20 years ago. I was so in love. I thought I had my whole life figured out."
"Dr. Evans?"
"Yes. His name was MAX. And he was the most amazing person ...wait scratch that... he was the most amazing thing to walk into my life. But one day I received a visit from MAX, but something was different. He was older. He told me about how our love for each other resulted in the end of the world and that I had to make him fall out of love with me. I planned it so that he would catch me with another guy. We went our separate ways after high school. It was supposed to change everything! They weren't supposed to die like that again... it was all in vain."
"How is this supposed to help now?"
"Don't you get it? The Granolith is the answer to everything. Hold on, we're almost there." Liz pressed on the accelerator even harder and the car screeched forward. Once she reached the cave she rushed out to help Max lift Logan out of the car.
Liz searched the rocks where she knew the cave was hidden. After finding a loose stone the entrance of the cave was revealed.
"Oh my G..." Before Max could even finish she felt Liz grab her into the cave.
She stared straight into Max's eyes. "You said you'd do anything to save him, right?"
"Of course I would. I can't live without Logan."
"You have to go back." Max just stood there confused. "Back. Back into the past and let MAX know the truth. It was wrong of me to keep a secret like that from him. If only he knew... maybe he'd still be alive to save Logan."
"You want me to what??? Why can't you go back and tell him yourself? He doesn't even know who I am. Why would he believe a complete stranger???"
"I don't have time to go into detail. It's got something to do with quantum physics or something. If I come into contact with my old self we'll both cease to exist. You're Logan's only hope. There's no time for you to back out now. Logan doesn't have much time left. Look at him."
Max knelt in front of Logan's wheelchair. "Logan?"
He slowly opened his eyes and tried to speak but he had very little energy that his words were breathless and so soft that even with her enhanced hearing, Max was having difficulty picking up his words. "Max..." She brought one hand to brush against the side of his face and the other held his hand tightly. Logan squeezed her hand lightly. "I should've said this sooner... but... I..... love....you....." Suddenly his eyes closed and his head fell to the side. The hand Max was holding suddenly went limp and as she gasped and clasped her mouth with her hands she saw, as if in slow motion, Logan's arm drop like a rag doll.
"Logan? No... Logan. No...." Her heart felt like it had been shattered into a thousand pieces. She turned to see Liz with tears in her eyes as well.
"Max. You have no choice now. It's either now or never." Max slowly got up and brushed the dust off her pants.
"Just show me how to work this grano.. thing-a-ma-jig." Max said with a new found determination.
Liz smiled. "I'm already working on it." The Granolith started to glow and the bright light flashed. "Put your hand on it... that's all you have to do. Remember, you have to convince the old me to tell MAX the truth."
Max nodded and did as she was told. She felt electric jolts course throughout her entire body. She looked at Liz and smiled. "Don't worry, Liz. It'll work. It has to work. Thank you." She stared at her hands and noticed them flickering as she was slowly fading away. Right before Max totally faded away she looked at the lifeless Logan and whispered, "I love you too, Logan."
