NOTE: I made a big boo boo and I just realized, so I fixed it. This is the real chapter 7

CHAPTER: The Ending.

Alec walked up to her slowly. She could tell that she was miles away because she didn't turn around at the sound of his footsteps (not that he made a sound). He knew she could have been at the needle because that was where she always went when she wanted to clear her head.

He stopped at the back of her and put his hands over her eyes. " Guess who?" He could feel that she was crying.

She pulled his hands down. She didn't hear him coming but when she knew it had to be him. "Alec, I had no idea it was you."

He smiled because she remembered what she had to say. " Tell me what you're thinking."

She laughed halfheartedly. " I'm thinking that Darren should leave town because tomorrow he's as good as dead."

He laughed. " He was jerk."

" I guess you must be pretty happy huh. You were right, I was wrong."

" You think I get satisfaction out of seeing you hurt?" She looked at him then turned away once more. " I'm sorry you think that way."

" What else am I supposed to think?"

He shrugged. " I just want you to be honest with me. You've been lying to me a lot lately. That heat thing made no sense."

" Really, why do you say that?" She thought it made it sense.

" Because I would have been able to smell you. I didn't smell anything."

" You were a little preoccupied."

He remembered. " We didn't do anything. I was going to but then you came by and did what you did so I told her to leave. I thought things were changing between us, then you came with that Darren story."

" You didn't kiss me back. You have no idea how stupid I felt."

" The only reason why I didn't was because I someone else was there. Providing that she wasn't there then I would have."

" Then no Darren." It was such a shame because it all could have been prevented. " Where does he get off telling us that we've been dancing around each other? I mean I could take a year to admit that I'm in love with you if I want. If a few people happen to get used upon the way then that's their problem. It's all part of life. He kind of used me before so I guess it's pay back. But I'll have to get him back for what he did just now."

" I broke his arm." She looked at him and smiled. " He challenged me. He thought that he could take me. I warned him but he wanted to fight."

" He deserved it. I should break his leg tomorrow." She had an evil grin on her face. She laughed for a while then it reduced to a small chuckle. " Sorry bout the heat thing."

" You're still sticking to that story."

" Yeah, why else would I show up at your door and kiss you."

He laughed. " Max, you do realize that you just said you were in love with me right."

" I didn't say that."

" You just said that you could take a year too admit you were in love with me if you wanted."

That must have slipped. " Yeah, so what."

" So what?"

" Yeah, it's no big deal. So what if I'm in love with you." she looked at him and he was smiling.

" Do you want me to return that kiss now?" She nodded and with that he kissed her softly. It was slow and sweet, exactly what he wanted it to be. They separated slowly. " Is it a big deal now."

" Oh yeah, a very big deal." She pulled him in for a kiss again.

" I'm really happy and all but what made you come by my apartment that night."

She laughed nervously. " A bad dream."

" What about."

" I dreamt that you and OC got married."

He laughed. " Like that's possible."

" Not you and OC but you and someone else."

" Still not possible. I was waiting for you to come around."

She bit her lip. " Must be happy that I finally did."

Happy didn't quite describe it. He was more than happy. He couldn't even find a word to describe it. " I am VERY VERY glad."
THE END.

NOTE: I really got stomped on this story so I wrote this just to finish it.
