Loads of love to No Name, msredux, Queen-Misfit-01, jg, kaidi, Chic, and ting! You guys totally rock for reviewing me! msredux- I totally and completely agree with you! Who the hell could possibly want Logan when there's Alec? kaidi- I'm thinking about doing an OC point of view, I like the idea. Whoever ~ is, I just want to remind you that I said in the review that all Logan lovers really should stay away from the story. Okay, so you are all probably really bored with my ramblings by now. So start reading! -Lilly

Ignoring a loss of sight
Afraid to blink might lose the sun
But don't make this out to be more
Than it isn't behind every lie
There's a burden within
Yes you're my sun
This suffering
That's kept within
Disposable men
Lost
Inside he was negative
This place once more was underground
So look and connect
We're refusing to rust
Healing has to begin in the past
So don't fake this
This suffering
That's kept within
Disposable men
Lost
Don't fake this
Fake
This suffering
That's kept within disposable men
Lost
So don't fake this
Fake

Max arrived to work the next day pouting. She was still mad about last night. How dare he leave her there! What a jackass.
When she got over to her locker and opened it up, she found another one of Alec's little gifts. Except for this time, it was a red rose with a note attached to it. Her anger instantly dissipated. The note said 'Max- Sorry about last night. This is my way of making up for it. -Alec' Max smiled.
She was feeling giddy. That's probably why she did what she did next. She saw Alec come in and she ran up to him and hugged him.
~*~
Alec knew why she was hugging him. She had gotten the rose. He smiled and hugged her back.
By now they had the attention of the entire room.

Original Cindy looked like she was going to burst out laughing any second. She had always known the two X5's had a thing for each other. But this, this was just way too funny. Because neither of them were like that. You know, the whole cuddly thing.
And then the rings, that was a whole other story. What, were they going to get married and live happily ever after? She could just imagine it, Max and Alec all domestic. She snorted at the idea.
~*~
By now Max had released Alec obviously embarrassed. But he didn't let her go. He had an announcement to make. He grabbed her hand with the ring with his own, and held it out to everyone exclaiming, "We're getting married!"
He could feel her try and withdraw, but he held her there. He whispered into her ear, "Play along Maxie, do you want Logan to die?"
~*~
Max almost let out a guffaw of laughter at that. Logan was completely out of the picture. Would she mind getting married to Alec? Absolutely not. She had decided she wanted him.
So she wrapped her arms around his neck, and slapped a sappy smile on her face. Everybody was excited for them, even though it was shocking.
But of course, Normal could never be swayed from his ever present thoughts about work. "Bip, bip, bip people. Just because Golden Boy decided to curse his life with Missy Miss, doesn't mean you don't have to work."
Everybody filed out with their packages.
~*~
Max left with her package feeling happy and disappointed all at the same time. She was glad that she was with Alec. But technically, she really wasn't with him. Not if he thought they were just doing it to keep Logan safe.
Something clicked in Max's head. Oh my God, I love him. She couldn't even deny it in her own brain. She felt like crying because she knew he didn't love her back.

Okay, that was a confusing chapter for me to write. I have an idea where I'm going with this, but I'm not completely sure of it. Review, give me suggestions, whatever, just review! -Lilly
