CHAPTER: Then there was one.
" So what are you saying?"
" I'm saying if we don't find a cure in a day or two, she will die."
Alec took a deep breath. " Are you sure about this?"
" Yes, I'm sure."
" What am I going to do?"
" Well I'll be working in my lab to see if I come up with anything. In the mean time you just stay there and monitor her condition. Alec, can you put Logan back on the phone."
Alec handed the phone to Logan and then put his head in his hands.
" Sam," Logan said.
" Logan, I wanted to tell you that I think it's best that you not be there right now."
" What? Why not."
" The virus is doing things it shouldn't be doing. I don't even think Alec should be there but someone has to."
" I can't just leave her. She needs help."
" That's why Alec is there. I wouldn't say this unless I thought it was necessary. I don't think any human being should be around her. This virus is not your common cold."
" I'm not getting the logic behind this," Logan complained.
Sam sighed. " The virus was originally designed to act like a vaccine. They only introduced a little in her system, it wouldn't harm her but to a human it would b deadly. For some reason now, there's two much and her white blood cells can't fight it."
" If it was just restricted to humans how come her friends don't get sick when she touches them."
" That touching part was just restricted to your DNA. Now that this thing fully active it could start to affect everyone after prolonged exposure."
" This is so messed up."
" I know but you have to leave there for your own good. Don't worry Alec will take care of her."
" Okay," he said after much hesitation. He heard the phone hang up on the other line. He put the phone down and cursed under his breath. He looked at Alec who still had his head in his hands. " Alec, I have to go. Cindy has to go leave too."
" Why?" he asked looking up.
" Carr doesn't think it's safe." Logan got up. He walked to the bedroom door and stopped. " OC can we talk outside just sec please."
OC looked up at Logan and she could see he's troubled about something. " Yeah." She got up and went outside. She followed Logan to the kitchen area. " What's going on?"
" We have to go," Logan told her.
" Why?"
" It's a long explanation. Alec is the only one who gets to stay and Carr is not even too sure that he should."
" This is really bad huh?"
" As bad as it gets."
" Let me say good bye to her."
" Don't stay in longer that you need to," Logan warned.
OC went back into the room and looked over to Max. " Boo, I have to go. I'll come by tomorrow."
" Okay," she said even though she wanted her to stay a while longer. " See you tomorrow."
OC smiled and waved to her and walked out the room. She sat next to Alec in the couch who looked devastated. She had a feeling like he knew something that she and Logan didn't know. " Alec," she started. He looked up at her. " I know you'll take good care of her. You care about her don't you?" He nodded. " Always knew it." she patted him on the back and went to the door where Logan was waiting.
" I'll give you a ride home," Logan said to OC. " Call me," he said to Alec. Alec nodded and then Logan was out the door.
Alec got up form where he was sitting. He had to see her. He went in the room and sat where OC was sitting. " Hey," he said.
" Hey," she replied. " Where's Logan?"
" He had to leave?"
" Oh." She didn't know that he left." What did Sam say?"
He hesitated to answer.
" I'll be fine wouldn't I?"
He nodded his head. " He said that it's just something like the seizures and he would get rid of it and you'll be fine." He didn't want her to worry. That would just make the situation worse.
" I told you so, I'm always alright." She looked at him and she could see water forming in his eyes. She took his hands. " Alec, I'm okay." When she said that a teardrop had left his eyes. " I scared you didn't I?"
He nodded.
" I'm okay now." She saw that it wasn't helping when she said she was okay. " If you can't take my word for it, then you have to listen to Sam. He's a doctor he knows what he's talking about." Another tear left his eyes. She gave up on trying to reassure him. " Come lie down with me."
He walked around the bed and went in next to her. She moved closer to him and rest her head on the pillow next to him so she could see his face clearly. " I'm feeling better already." He nodded and his eyes looked away from he gaze. " Alec, say something, anything."
If he was going to say it he figured he should do it then. Time wasn't waiting for him and he wanted her to know. " You're the most amazing person I know."
She smiled. " You're not too bad yuhself."
" I care about you a lot more than I ever let you know."
" I care about you too Alec." She didn't know all she had to do to get Alec to spill his secrets was to get him scared. She whipped another tear that was now rolling down his face. She moved closer to him and kissed him on his fore head. She moved down and gave him a peck on her lips. " Don't cry." She kissed him again but for longer this time. She just wanted to make him feel better.
He didn't think it was possible to smile sincerely even though he was feeling like shit. He wanted her to know everything he thought she should know before she was gone. " I love you Max. You're the mist amazing person ever."
" You said that already." She kissed him again. It was amazing how certain experiences could cause someone to blurt out their feelings for one another. " I love you too." She took his hand in hers. " I'm so tired right now."
" I know," he said looking at their hands together. " You should sleep, you need your rest."
She smiled. " I can't wait to see you in the morning."
" I'll be right here."
She kissed him again. " You'll see. I'll be kicking your ass again."
