Chapter 19

"Cindy!! I´m home!!" yelled Max at Original Cindy, who was on her bedroom reading a book.

"Hey, boo." she said coming out from the room and into the living where her friend was sitting on the couch. She sat next to Max. "You got your girl worried. Where were you? At TC?"

"No... Well, yeah, but I bumped into White."

"Oh! Well, that must be a hell of a good story..."

Ten minutes later...

"Oh, my..."

"Yeah. White´s the son of my creator. How ironic is that?"

"That sucks." Funny, that´s the only thing people could think of after hearing the little story.

"Yeah, it sucks, but hey, my life sucks so I´m not that shock. I mean, I shoulda seen it coming, ya know?."

"Then OC should probably not tell you what happen today at JamPony then."

"What happen?" she said a little worried.

"Tomorrow, after you have a nice sleep and a good, cold shower, maybe."

"No, now! What happen?"

"Well, two things happened, and Cindy ain´t gonna lie to you, neither of them was good."

"Ok."

"Well, three agents came today to question Normal. They found Biggs´ sector pass."

"Please don´t tell me they found ´bout me and Alec, and the rest..."

"They didn´t. But Sketchy totaly freaked out when he saw one of them, and he told Original that that was the guy who kidnaped him after he took those pictures of the transhuman. So, OC sneacked into Normal´s office and stole the files of the transgenics and, well, hers and Sketchy´s."

"Ok, great!"

"Not so great. Sketchy saw me and figured it out." Max shocked face told Cindy she was about to be killed. "But, don´t worry that much. OC and Sketchy had a little talk, and he was totaly cool with it."

"He was 'cool' with it?"

"Yeah, he promised he wouldn´t say anything. And Cindy believes him."

"Fine, if you trust him... "

"Cindy does."

"Ok, I going to bed."

"Sweet dreams."

Next day at JamPony...

Max entered the place where she worked and saw Sketchy taking somethings from his locker. She approached him.

"Sketchy."

"Max." They both said in a cold tone, trying to figure out what the other person´s reaction would be.

"We´re cool?" Sketch asked.

"Of course." she answered with a smile and they both hugged, while Cindy watched them from the counter.

The day went by, Max told Alec Sketchy knew ´bout the both of them being transgenics and that everything was ok. Alec and Sketchy had a little talk. Alec explained him how dangerous it would be if he ever exposed their secret, not only for them but for poor Sketchy. Alec didn´t threaten him, but what he said was damn close to be a threat. Though that wasn´t his intention, all Alec wanted was Sketch to understand the importance of keeping the secret safe.

That night the gang went to Crash. They had a new member. She was an X-5 called Cece. She had been in Seattle for a couple of months now, and then she met Max at Terminal City. She heard Max talk ´bout working at JamPony, so she thought it would be a good idea to apply for a job there, and as a lot of JamPony´s employees left Seattle becouse of the transgenics, Cece got the job. Sweet irony.

Max hadn´t come yet, she was still at TC checking on Josh.

She arrived Crash at 10.30pm. They were all still there getting really drunk. It was friday after all.

"Hey guys." she said nearing a chair to the table where OC, Cece, Sketchy and Alec were drinking.

"Hey Max." the others said.

They drunk beer, and played some pool...

"Hey, Alec, wanna loose some money on the pool?" Cece asked to Alec.

"Nah, I´m gonna have a drink at the counter."

"Ok, Max? No? What do you say Sketch?"

"Ok, sure." Sketchy said.

They left the table, just like Alec, and left Cindy and Max alone.

"I told Logan yesteday." Max said sudenly out of nowhere. Between her sucky life and White Max had forgotten to tell OC ´bout Logan.

Cindy was sorprised, she didn´t think Max would´ve told him so soon. "What did he said?"

"Well... not much... It was so weird. He just... looked at me and kissed me on the forehead."

"Uh..."

"Yeah... weird."

"But you told him that you like Alec??"

"Well... no, I didn´t think I would have to tell him. Enough I finally told him the truth ´bout what I feel ´bout him!"

"Did you tell him?"

"I just told you I didn´t!"

"Not Logan, girl! Alec! Did ya tell Alec?!"

"Oh! No, not yet... maybe..."

"Go, he´s there alone, sending the ladies away... OC bets he´ll love to hear it."

Max smiled at Cindy and left the table to talk to Alec.

"Hey." she said sitting next to him. Alec wasn´t doing much, just stearing at the glass of Scotch. Apparently, thinking.

"Hey, you´re leaving?" he asked as he saw Max with her jacket already on.

"Umh... not yet."

"Wanna drink?"

"No, that´s ok." She was actually nevous.

"Ok." and he went back to stear at his drink.

She hesitated a couple of times before Alec took off his eyes from his drink and asked her if she needed something, as she hadn´t ordered anything from the bar and was just sitting next to him, in the sweetest tone she ever heard him use.

"Actually, yeah. Well... it´s just... I sort of need to tell you something."

"Ok. Shoot."

"I just wanted to let you know that... I... I..."

"You what?"

"I told Logan. ´Bout you and me being together was a lie, and what I really felt ´bout him."

During all this time, Alec had thought Max lied to Logan becouse she was confuse. And now they talked and Max realized she was a stupid for having doubt of her love for Logan. God! "So, you guys finally together. I´m really glad for you Max. You deserve it." he said pretending to be happy, hidding the bittersweetness his soul was going through.

Oh, God! He thinks we make up... and he´s happy!! Oh God, oh God, oh God.... I can´t work like this!! I can´t tell a guy I like him if his happy for me and Logan! "No... " almost laughing at how far from the truth that was, "no, me and... Logan... we..." God! This is so hard, why is so hard?? Is not supposed to be this hard! Just breath, breath... he´s looking at you really weird, he´s noticing something´s up with you...Just finish the God Damn sentence!! "We are not together."

What?! "What?!" Alec said, not realizing how he had reacted. He left the glass over the counter, almost dropping it, and the 'what' sounded louder than he thought.

"Well..."

"You´re not together?"

"No."

"When...?" When did this happen?? When did Max stop loving Logan??

"I don´t know... it just happened."

"Uh..." he just said.

"Yeah..."

And again with the shy eyes, and the shy little smiles, and shy words.

"Well, I should get going."

"Ok... well, I´ll see you... around. You coming tomorrow?"

"Where?" she asked confuse.

"Well, here... Crash."

"Oh! Uhm... yeah. Sure."

"Great."

"Great... Well... bye."

"Bye."

And she smiled at him over her shoulder...

There she goes
There she goes again
Racin through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feelin that we've made

Alec watcher leave Crash in slow motion... Her smile, her eyes, her hair swing from one side to the other...

There she goes
There she goes again
Pulsin through my veins
And i just can't contain
This feelin that we've made

Wait a minute... Am I the only one who´s hearing the music??

There she goes (there she goes again)
There she goes again (there she goes again)
Racing through my brain (there she goes again)
And i just can't contain
This feelin that we've made

Alec looked around t the people... He was indeed the only one hearing the music... but he didn´t care.

There she goes
There she goes again
She calls my name
Pulls my train
No one else could heal my pain
And i just can't contain
This feelin that we've made

Live was smiling at him for the first time... everything was perfect... except she wasn´t his, but he would do the posibler to have her... and the imposible too...

There she goes (she calls my name)
There she goes again (she calls my name)
Chasin down my lane (she calls my name)
And i just can't contain
This feelin that we've made

There she goes (there she goes again)
There she goes (there she goes again)
There she goes...
