CHAPTER: Rising up.
Max opened her eyes. She immediately noticed that she wasn't feeling any better in fact she was feeling a little worse. Alec had his arms around her hold night, it help with the shivering.
He didn't sleep that night. How could he knowing what he knew? He could tell that she had gotten up. " Feeling any better?"
" No, not really." He didn't look surprised by this. She didn't want him to start crying again. " Don't worry, my DNA could handle any thing."
He nodded, trying to put on a hopeful face. He moved his arms from around her and sat up. He had to call Sam. " I'll be back." He kissed her on her forehead and went to the living room and dialed Sam's number. " Did you get anything?"
" In the blood sample I have the virus is dead." It was an enigma; Max should be able to fight the whole virus. " Is she any better?"
" No, worse."
Sam put his hand on his head. He spent the entire night looking under a microscope. And as the second went by the more confused he was. " It's almost like the virus is regenerating in her body. How is that possible?"
" Is there any thing we could do about it now?"
" No, we still don't know why she isn't fighting it off."
" Do you know why she started to be affected by it?"
" Sorry No. Alec, you'll have to call me back. I have to go to another lab to run some more test."
" Yeah," Alec said.
As soon as he put down the phone it rang again. " Yeah?"
" Is she feeling any better?"
" No, she's still sick. . . . ."
" I'll be there. I'll call Normal ad tell him that Max can't come in today." Logan had told her the situation but she still wanted to see Max. She was best friend. Besides she felt fine.
" Yeah, okay."
***********
OC looked at Max on the bed. She was sick, very sick.
" I look that bad huh?"
" No, you look fine, just a little sweaty." She didn't like it. When she got shot or had seizures it was better, at least they knew what it was.
" I wanted to take a bath, I'm soaking wet."
OC smiled. " I get the tub of water ready."
" Make it hot water please. I don't think I could take anything cold."
*****
Max stepped in the bathtub she shivered as the water touched her skin. Even though she could see the steam coming out of it, it still felt kind of cold for her. She wanted to get out as soon as possible.
*****
After OC had help her into her clothes since she couldn't stand up on her own. She wasn't sweating much and she wasn't feeling as cold but she still felt weak. " I can't wait to get to better, I'm tired of looking like a hag in front of Alec." OC was now combing Max's hair into a long braid on her request.
" Since when are you concerned about how Alec sees you?" Alec had left them to their devices while he made phone calls.
" He kind of told me something last night," Max explained. She couldn't wait until she got better so they could start to have a normal relationship.
" What?" she said trying to contain the smile that was spreading across her face.
" He just started crying last night and he wasn't stopping so I kind of kissed him. Then he said he was in love with me."
Alec cried in front of Max. How strange was that? Alec told Max that he loved her. How strange was that. She didn't like this sudden display of emotions. There was her boo, sick like a dog on a bed, hardly able to move and there was Alec in living room looking like he was going mad. " I thought you said you didn't like him like that?"
" I guess I do," she said. "But it's kind of strange how he took when I was sick to tell me. Not when I was looking my best."
" It goes to show that he loves you at your best and at your worst."
OC smiled at her. " I'm happy for you." she finished with her hair and Max lied down. " Can I get you something?"
Max leaned back and coughed slightly.
" Yeah, something to drink."
OC walked out the room and went over to Alec who was leaning on the kitchen counter staring at his phone. " What yah, waiting on."
" Sam to call."
" So, exactly how sick is Max?"
NOTE: I hope you liked this chapter. I tired to put in some girly conversation between OC and Max. I hope it came off that way.
