Disclaimer: I do not own DA.

AN: I will try to finish the story in this chapter, because I am so bored of this story. The stupid ideas have stopped coming. So I will try to release myself from the burden that is this story.



Alec was getting a little better. His shakes were slowing down, but once in a while he would go out of control.

Joshua was the only visitor that Alec had, and even then Alec wasn't that excited- Joshua was hugging Alec so hard, that Alec couldn't even breathe.

OC would come sometimes to change his bandages, but that was it.

Every time OC came, Alec would ask about Max, and where she was, and every time OC would say, "She'll be here. She just needs to sort some shit out."

Alec was confused. How could Max still love Logan? He nearly killed me. But she doesn't even care about. She doesn't love me. Alec thought, and that was all he thought all day, every day. It was driving him insane. But he was so hurt, and violated.

Alec tried to get up, and after what seemed like forever he managed to get up off the bed. Slowly but painfully, Alec went towards the door.

He could hear footsteps pacing round the room. It sounded as if the person was going in circles.

Alec heaved the door open, with great effort.

Alec fell out into the living room, his face on the floor.

"Alec!" A voice called, it was Max.

Max ran towards Alec and knelt down beside him. She put his head in her lap, brushing strands of hair away.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Max meant to sound angry, but her voice betrayed her, it sounded weak and worried.

"Well, I was getting bored in your room, and I heard some footsteps, so I came into here." Alec said, his voice quivering a little.

Alec was looking deep into Max's brown eyes. His own were cloudy and sunk into his skull.

"Alec are you feeling OK?" Max asked, a little worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little tired."

"Oh, you want to go to sleep?" Max asked, about to carry Alec into her room.

"NO! I mean no. I don't want to go to sleep, I've been doing that for ages." Alec said, as if he were a six-year-old.

"Maxie, why haven't you come to visit me? I know we're not that close but, still, why didn't you come?"

"Alec, I'm sorry, I've been trying to sort things out."

"With Logan." Alec turned away, his voice full of pain and jealousy.

"No, I needed to sort everything out, you, and me, Logan, White. I just needed to understand what exactly happened."

Alec stirred, he wanted to get p, but his body had other ideas.

"But not with me. Look Max, I have been trying to sort things out too. Even when I was there, with him. I kept thinking that you would come, and you did Max. I didn't lose my trust in you. I thought that you could trust me too."

"Who said I can't?" Max practically shouted.

"Max, it's obvious that you don't," Alec said, his own words tormenting him, "What were you thinking? When I was gone?"

Max stayed silence, ashamed of herself.

"You thought I went prancing off, with a girl on each arm didn't you?"

Tears began to well up in her eyes. He was right, and she didn't trust him, not with anyone else. Max could trust Alec with her life, but not with others, not the entire transgenic race.

"Max, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." Alec said as he saw the tears.

"I'm not upset, I'm just ashamed."

"Of what?"

"Of myself. I didn't trust you to do the right thing. I can't even trust myself to do the right thing."

"Max, what do you mean?"

"Alec, I think I'm falling in love with you."

Alec swallowed hard; this was what he always wanted. To be with Max Guevera.

"Max-"

"No don't say anything. I have to let this out. When you went, I was angry cos I thought you just left without a care for any of us."

"Max I would never-"

"I haven't finished yet. Then when I found out that you were captured, all I saw was red. I was just shocked and angry, that Logan did that. And all while you were gone, I couldn't stop thinking about you. I tried to think I was wrong, that I didn't love you. But when I saw you on the floor, I let it all flood back to me. I knew then that I loved you."

"Max I-"Alec tried to but in.

"And then with the thing with Logan, I just pushed him away, so far. And now, I'm in such a mess. I don't know what's wrong with me, you, Logan. I'm just so confused." Max let the tears run free.

Alec reached up to wipe them away, caressing her golden skin.

"Max, shh, you forgot one thing."

Max gave Alec a quizzical look.

"That I love you too." Alec said softly.

And then they embraced something they both wanted to do for a long time.

Max pulled away. She had to do the right thing, and tell him the whole truth.

"Alec. I wasn't looking for you." Max said, looking down at Alec's hands.

"What?"

Max was silent for a moment.

"Max, just tell me." Alec said with a small smile on is lips, his fingers intertwined with hers.

"Alec, I was at Logan's apartment, on the computer. I was looking for someone. But it wasn't you."

The smile left Alec's lips.

"I was looking for Logan. I never even thought about looking for you. It was just Logan."

"Well, that's um, Ok." Alec said, but his thoughts were different.

'WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN IT'S OK?? ARE YOU AN IDIOT?? SHE IS THINKING ABOUT LOGAN!! THE GUY THAT BETRAYED YOU
