CHAPTER: Walking away.
Max looked around Jam Pony for Alec. She was nervous. She promised him that she would come back and she didn't. What would he say? He'd most likely never speak to her again. She spotted him by his locker and went over to him. She stopped and looked at him. He didn't seem angry but she noticed he was just pretending that he wasn't.
" So, how was last night?"
" It was okay."
" Only okay," he teased. " I mean this thing has been building up for more than a year, right."
She nodded. She waited for him to say something bad but he didn't. She wanted him to come out and say he was mad, not act like he wasn't. " Alec, can you stop that."
" What?"
" Stop acting like you're not mad."
" I'm not mad at you Max. Why would I be?"
She sighed. She hated that he was doing this. " Because I said I loved and I promised I would come back and I didn't."
" Max, I wasn't expecting you to. I went to Crash five minutes after you left. I know how it's been for you two."
" But Alec, you're in love with me."
He closed his locker and took her hands in his and leaned against the locker slightly. He looked at her in her eyes. She looked confused. " Max, god knows how much I love you and how much I would love to be with you." She looked back at him and he could see tears forming slightly. " My love is strong enough to let you go. I just want you to be happy and if that means you being with Logan then I'm fine with it."
" Really?"
" Really," he said then smiled. It was true he knew when he got the cure he would lose her. He also knew if he didn't get it he'd lose her. At least with her being with Logan he could still see her. " So, friends right."
She almost laughed. She couldn't believe how understanding Alec was. " Yeah, we're friends." He nodded he was going to let go her hand but she kept hold of it. " So, can a friend meet a friend at Crash tonight."
" Of course."
She chuckled. " Alec, I still love you."
He sighed. " I know but just not like that."
She nodded. " Don't make fun of me."
" I'm not," he said innocently. She reached up to him and kissed him quickly on his lips. She let go of his hands. " Bye Max."
" See you tonight Alec."
He waved. There she was. The girl of dreams walking away from him.
NOTE: and so ends this part of the story. Didn't I say it would be short?
