A/N Okay, this next chapter is a little wierd, and might be hard to follow. But it's suposed to be, so bare with me here. I'm sory for the wait on this chapter, I'll try to get the next one up sooner, it's just that my lap top broke, and it's very hard to get time on the family computer. Since this chapter is a little off, I would apreciate reviews so I know if I shold not do more like it. Thanks:)

Chapter4......... Wakeing up to you

"Why don't you order a Pizza for everyone" Ben suggested.

"Do you guys feal like pizza?" Max asked OC And Alec.

"Sounds good to me" Oc said. Alec grunted in approval.

Max was about to pick up the phone to order a pizza when the phone rang, "Hello" she said into the phone.

"Hey Max it's me" Logan said into the phone.

"Hey Logan what's up?" she asked him.

"Not much, I was thinking maybe you might want to come over for dinner or something" he suggested.

"Well, that sounds Grea-" Max stopped talking as she saw Ben shaking his head. "Pizza Maxie" he said to her. "I'm sorry Logan, We were all gonna order a pizza" She told him.

"You have people over" he asked her.

"Well, not exactly, it's just me Original Cindy, Alec and B-....Just me Alec and original Cindy" she said.

"Oh, well, how'd the hair cut go?" he asked her.

"Great" she said, "I look just how I did before Manticore, I love it, and you'll never guess what I found out. Alec gets his nails done once a weak. Mister perfect apparently need help be so" she told him her juicy bit of gossip.

Logan laughed on the other line. "Well, it's nice to know you all had fun, I should go. Tell Alec I'll leave the door unlocked if he ends up coming home late" Logan said.

"I can't believe your actually letting him live with you. I'd probably pull every one of my nicely styled hairs out" she said.

"I heard that" Alec said from the couch.

"Well I'll see ya latter" Max said.

""Yeah, Bye" Logan said. Max hung the phone up and dialed the number to a pizza place, and ordered a pizza.

Ben came up behind her and put his hands in her hair. "It really does look cute like this" He said. He gently and softly kissed the top of her head. "Why don't you go sit with Alec, he looks board" Ben said.

Max obediently went over to Alec and sat by him. "Your hair looks so cute like that" he said. Max had to laugh at this. Alec really was exactly like Ben sometimes.

"Are you implying that it looked bad before?" she asked.

Alec rolled his eyes, "Women, they can never just except a compliment" Ben made a gesture in agreement. Max glared at them both.

"It's not that I can't except a compliment, its that I cant except a compliment from you." Max said. Alec rolled his eyes.

"So do want to head to the crash after the pizza?" Oc asked, "you can show off your hair" she said.

"Every one has already seen my hair like this" Max said. "I don't really want to go out tonight, I'm tired." she said.

"Yeah, I got to agree with Max, I'll probably hang out here for a while then go home, well to Logans" Alec said.

"You live with Logan now? What's with that" OC asked him. He shrugged.

"Yeah, what is with that. First I see you two hugging, then Your showering at his house and talking about fabric softener. You trying to steal him" Max asked jokingly.

"Well, you know, how could I resist the guy. With all his heroic actions. Never thinking about himself first. Always fighting the good fight" Alec said. Max hit the back of his head. "Ow, that hurt" he whined. "No, well, the hug, that was all weird chick Mias fault. And, I mean, I came here, but you were all acting wacky, so I Went to Logans" he said. "I got to stay some where don't I?"

" I guess so" Max said. Max closed her eyes and thought. She leaned into Ben a little. He put his arm around her shoulders. She relaxed into him. She was pulled back to reality a few moments latter by a knock at the door. She opened her eyes, and looked at Ben. She smiled at her brother. He smiled back, a very un Ben smile. It was Alec. She had done it again. And she was quite worried that she was sending Alec the wrong signals.

"Come on Max" Oc said, "lets get the door. She pulled her off the couch and over the door. "What's with you and the pretty manticore boy?" She asked her quietly at the door.

"What? Nothing" Max said. OC stared at her with a 'mmhmm' Look. "I was tired and I spaced out, it's been a long day" she said. She put a hand up on her head. " a very long strange day".

She opened the door, took the pizza, and gave the pizza guy the money. She shut the door. "Maybe I should stay in tonight instead of going out" OC said.

"I'm not a child" Max said, "I don't need you here to baby-sit me." She put the pizza down on the counter, and opened the box. She found herself lacking in the area of hunger. She put a hand over her stomach and sat down. She felt extremely noxious.

"You okay Maxie?" Ben asked sitting next to her, putting a hand on her forehead. Max nodded. "Why don't you lie down" he suggested.

Max followed her orders and laid down on the couch. Alec came over, and moved her feet making room for him. He began to eat his large slice of pizza in a very piggish manor. "What, they didn't teach you table manors at Manticore" OC asked him.

"I'm not at a table" Alec said, continuing to chomp away on his pizza slice.

"And this is the man who gets his nails done, and uses lotion to make himself more attractive to women. What, we don't count as women now? Show some manors" she said. Alec ignored the comment, however, Oc didn't.

"What's this about getting your nails done?" Oc asked.

"It's not like it sounds" Alec said.

"It's not?" she asked.

"Well yeah, it kind of is" he admited. Max laughed and then slowly drifted off to sleep, listening to the banters of Alec and Original Cindy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Max woke up and found herself alone except for Ben. "They left" he said. She nodded, rubbing her eyes and sitting up. "What time is it?" she asked Ben. He shrugged, not knowing. She stood up and walked over to him.

He picked up the tips of her hair again and twirled it around his finger. "Your hair really does look cute like this" She smiled at him.

"I love having you here. When did they leave?" she asked him.

"About a half hour ago" he said. "So, what do you want to do?" he asked.

"I think I want to go to bed" she said. "I'm tired" He nodded and grabbed her hand leading her into her room. He pulled back the blankets of her bed and waited for her to get in.

When she did he covered her up and sat on the edge of her bed. He brushed the hair out of her face and kissed her forehead. Max felt like a six year old being tucked into bed. "Good night baby sister, love ya he said.

"Love you to, good night" she said. He stood up. "Your leaving me?" she asked him.

He sighed and shook his head. He laid down next to her on the bed, and wrapped an arm around her. "Your getting to old for this Maxie" he said. She smiled at his remark and closed her eyes, content being with her big brother. Her brother she had thought she had lost.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Max woke up with the sun shinning down on her face. She felt Bens arm around her, and snuggled back against him. Something seemed a little off. She opened her eyes and saw his bare arm wrapped across her chest. Her bare chest. She sat up quickly and brought the sheet quickly up over her body. She looked down at Ben who was now stirring.

He also appeared to be naked. Now, she couldn't of had sex with Ben, he was her brother. Well, like a brother. She knew that it never would happen, he wouldn't go for it, and neither would she. She shook her head trying to remember the night before. She remembered falling asleep with him. sleep, nothing else.

He began to stir. He opened up his eyes and smiled at her, sitting up next to her. "Be, I... what?" she asked him, needing answers to what had happened.

He frowned, "Max, no. You didn't think, Max, I'm not Ben, it's me. Alec".
