"I don't know. You wanna give him another chance?" Max said as she looked
between the two. "You know, if your lucky he could do some of your job
while you relax since Normal won't be able to see the difference in you
two. It would be a plus though if he doesn't annoy me like you do. Imagine
that having two of you, would I ever survive?" She burst out laughing.
495 heard Max laughing. Oh great they are probably cooking up wonderful ideas on how to punish me. He thought. He tried to listen into their conversation.
"You really want to give him a chance? Max, he tried to impersonate Ben. But luckily he chickened out. But he was a bit late on that one. If he really wanted to help you, he could of at least got the timing right you know." Alec complained.
"Whateve, but do you agree. If he does stay here then he needs a place to sleep. I'm guessing that you really wouldn't wanna look at your self all the time though." Max said. If Alec didn't want the fake to stay with him, then she would just have to send him on his way.
"I might be ok with it. Just as long as he doesn't interfere to much in my business." Alec looked at the doorway to the living room. There was no noise. Porbably trying to hear our decision of what were going to do with him.
Max and Alec walked into the living room to see the fake sitting on the sofa quietly.
Alec spoke up "We have decided that you should stay with us untill things with White settle down. As soon as he finds you again he will kill you for betraying him. You ok with that?"
"Yeah I guess."
"You know, you should have a name." Max said without realising it.
"Here we go again Max with her little nameing games when will she quit?" Alec replied with a smirk.
"Shutup you. Now what should we call you? Ummm how about........"
She was still thinking of a name when Alec spoke "What about Jarred? It's just a suggestion."
"You ok with the name?" Max quesioned 495.
"Yeah that is ok."
"Well I gotta go see you guys later." Max said waving goodbye.
The two heard the door shut and click. Alec went over to put the lock on. When he came back Jarred wasn't in the living room anymore. Alec looked up worried. Jarred wasn't going to be a pain in the ass is he? He heard a noise from the kitchen which confirmed his question. He walked in to find pots on the floor.
"What the hell happened? Did you find roaches in the cupboard and start having war with them? If you did, you look like you lost." Alec frowned at the heap on the floor.
"No, I'm sorry I'll clean it up." He started picking up the pots and pans that were on the floor and shoved them back into the cupboard.
They looked at the clock and realised that it was about time to turn in for the night.
Next Morning
Alec woke up to a banging in the room next door. Oh what was it now? Don't tell my that he is having another war. Probably with moth's this time. He laughed. He didn't get much sleep last night. He was worrying about what was going to happen in the morning.
He walked into the kitchen with a yawn getting ready to make breakfast when he saw the vision in front of him. Jarred was cooking breakfast, and not only for himself. There were two plates lined up on the bench with two glasses. Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea.
"Good morning sleepy head." Jarred looked at him and tsked.
"What do you mean sleepy head?" Alec was confused. "It's only seven."
"No it's not. Your clock must be out. It is quarter to nine now."
Oh crap, why did he have to be right? He wasn't supposed to be right. Arrrrghhh.
Alec got to work about 15 minutes later. like always, the boss didn't notice. He met up with Max and Original Cindy at their lockers. They were giggling about something.
"What are you two so giggly about?"
"Oh nothing." They both replied. Original Cindy walked off.
"So how did it go?" Max wanted to know.
"Why? So you can hear of what a horrible time I've had? No thanks. Hey here's an idea, why don't you have him at your place tonight huh? Let me get some sleep." He complained.
"Whatever. It's fair I guess. I have to go I'll see you later."
"Bye, I'll drop him off at your place later."
He didn't know if she heard or not because she was already out the door.
Secretly Max wanted to know what Jarred was like. Lately she had been sort of straying. She knew that it wasn't fair to Logan, but they were hardly like a couple. She found herself looking at Alec more and more. Even though he was a pain, sometimes she wondered what it would be like to be with him. Since she met Jarred, she wondered what it would be like to be with him. hehe, wondering about this also made her laugh. If she did get one of them, and the other also decided to stay, she wouldn't know which on is which. The only way she would be able to tell them apart is one of them would be silent, the other being a jerk and teasing her.
She went to visit Joshua.
"Hey there big fella." She said giving him her biggest smile possible.
"Hey little fella." He gave her a smile just as big.
Of course he was painting yet another picture. It seemed that it was the only thing that mattered to him. Him and his paintings. His paintings and him.
"Whatcha working on now?" She said with curiosity.
"Joshua number 586. It is supposed to be us. Alec, Max, and I. You like it?"
"Yeah, Joshua it looks great. Well I came by to drop food off for you. I have to go home to let Jarred in. I'll see you tomorrow?" Max looked at Joshua. So much happiness and sadness in his eyes and the same time. Max felt like crying. Joshua was so happy painting, but he also desperately wanted to go outside without people screaming their heads off. She couldn't blame him. Sometimes she just wanted to be a normal girl in a normal world and let every thing be alright. But no, no one would let her, she had to watch her back, the other transgenics backs. She was sick of it, but someone had to do all the dirty work.
She got home to find Original Cindy getting ready for a night out.
"Where you going tonight?"
"There's this hot chick that I'm gonna meet. She's a real fine girl. We are going to spend the night at her place. You don't mind do you?"
"No it's fine. Jarred's going to spend the night here. Alec's already sick of him. Alec was complaining to me earlier about last night. He said something about Jarred having a war in the cupboard with roaches." Se said.
Cindy doubled over laughing. "You serious? This boy is mad. But anyways I'll catch you later boo." She slammed the door behind her, eager to get to her date.
"Max decided to have a quick shower to pass the time. No sooner as she got out she heard a knock on the door. She went to the door and opened the door forgetting that she only had a towel round her. But she remembered as soon as she saw a surprised Jarred look her up and down. She ran to her room to get clothes. As soon as she looked decent she came out.
"Alec just dump you here?" She asked trying to stop herself from chuckling. Instead it came out in a little choke. She quickly ran to the kitchen.
"You want anything to eat?"
"Nah, not for now. Just had a late lunch." He replied patting his stomach.
"Ok if you say so. Just shout if you want anything." She sat on the floor with her back on the kitchen bench. It was getting hot in the apartment and the bench was so cool.
Jarred looked at her while she waited for her meal to heat up. She was sitting on the floor. She looked so beautiful. Just sitting there with her eyes closed. He sat there for a minute just staring at her.
"You got a problem there?" She whispered, jerking him out of his day dream.
"Uh....uh....no. Just enjoying the view"
I can't believe I just said that. He thought to himself. Dumb 495, dumb 495. No it is Jarred. Dumb Jarred, dumb Jarred.
"Oh really? What was you looking at?" She questioned him. She enjoyed making guys squirm. That is what was happening now. He was squirming a lot.
Jarred could see that she was doing this on purpose. This was so unfair.
"Well?"
She had no intentions on making this easy for him.Was this standard procedure to every guy that came into her home? Or was she just testing him to see if he was a smooth talker? He honestly didn't know.
"Why? What did you want me to look at?" He said with a grin on her face. He was enjoying seeing her squirm for a couple of seconds.
*BEEP* The bell had gone off. Max's meal was ready. She jumped off the floor and jumped over the bench to get her food. She was starving.
She hadn't eaten because she was thinking so much of Jarred and Alec. Thinking, did they become friends? Or did they resort to fighting? Well she got the answer to that when Alec came in, looking more tired than usual.
Max started to walk to her bedroom while calling out to him that he could use the Tv.
495 heard Max laughing. Oh great they are probably cooking up wonderful ideas on how to punish me. He thought. He tried to listen into their conversation.
"You really want to give him a chance? Max, he tried to impersonate Ben. But luckily he chickened out. But he was a bit late on that one. If he really wanted to help you, he could of at least got the timing right you know." Alec complained.
