I'm trying to get it up to longer.... failing miserably though.......
Alec starred into the darkness and tried to stop his hands from shaking. How could he have freaked out in front of Max like that? Now she thinks he's the biggest chicken she's ever seen. he ran his hand down his arm and looked down at it. He couldn't believe that all this had come form one simple memory that he had stuffed back into the back of his mind... hell he had forgotten about it until he was in that closed space. but now that he tried to think of it it got blurry. Like all the rest of his memories. He wasn't even sure he was him at all any more. How would he know? He couldn't remember anything from before two weeks ago and that was slowly decreasing. Pretty soon he wouldn't know a damn thing about himself and that freaked him out more then the tiny hole Ben and him had been stuffed into when they were little. That was to see if the connection between twins was actually a myth or the true thing. It turned out to be a 50/50 thing. Alec was glad that it was over though. "Alec?" Max asked as she walked out into the cool night with him.
"Yeah?" He asked still lost in his thoughts.
"You okay?"
Alec put on his best smile that he felt was painfully fake, "Of course, Maxy! Just freaked out for a little bit, don't worry about it."
"Don't lie to me Alec." Ma said as she put her hand on her hips.
The smile disappeared and Alec said, "Ain't lying to you sweetheart." The smile was instantly back after he said that and he stood up as he finally took control of his shaking hands, "So what's the news?"
"You've got a virus that's closing off parts of your mind, Ryan thinks he can find a cure..."
"What aren't you telling me, Max?"
"He might not be able to reverse the effects that it's already caused on you."
Max saw the shock and pain that filled his eyes even if it was only there for a minute, "Oh, well, not like I needed memories of the past anyways."
Alec began to walk off but Max grabbed his arm and stopped him, "Where are you going?"
"My place."
"I can drive you."
"Nah, need the walk. I think I'm getting a little lazy since Manticore was burnt down."
"Okay... Call me if you need anything."
Alec nodded his head and began to walk off. He had no idea why anybody ever said that, no one ever took anybody up on an offer like that, why would someone? It was all a bunch of nonsense. As if he'd call her, he can deal on his own. Been Doing it before she ever new he existed. That was the only way you could survive. Trust no one. Follow commands. That was what they were taught and right now that seems to be the best plan possible. Though... there was no one to command him out here in this place that was supposable better then Manticore. At least he didn't have to worry about taking care of his unit. Now he could really focus on him.
Then why did Max keep entering his mind. And who was that other brunette that tore his heart apart? He couldn't remember her name or where he had met her only that something.... Tragic... had happened.
It was his fault! Laura was blond though... who was the other one... two loves dead... one left. Broken promises.
Alec slid down the brick wall of an old building, he's head was killing him and he didn't remember where his place was. God his head hurt.
