It had been a week since they found out that they were both transgenics.
Their friendship had blossomed, becoming deeper than that of a normal
friendship but neither one of them wanting to destroy what they had now.
Alec had introduced her to Joshua yesterday and she had spent the day
looking at his paintings and the piano in his basement.
Later that night. They were in bed asleep when she was woken up by his dreams again. "Alec" she said, "talk to me. Tell me what happened." "No" he whispered. "Please Alec, don't shut me out" He looked down at her face; she really cared he thought. So he told her. He told her everything. When he had finished he looked up at her. She looked like she was holding back tears. "Come on" she said and dragged him out of bed, she threw on some clothes and handed him some of his. "Where are we going?" he asked. "You'll see," she said. They made their way out to her bike in silence, they got on and they drove out. "Why are we here?" he asked as she stopped outside Joshua's house. "Because" she said. They walked in. "hey Josh sorry bout the late visit" she said. "That's ok, is middle fellow ok?" when he saw Alec. "Yeah I'm fine" he answered. "We wont bother you" Jade said as she grabbed Alec's hand and led him to the basement. She stopped in front of the piano and pushed him onto the seat. "I cant," he said looking up at her. She looked down at him then sat down in his lap. He closed his eyes as he rested his head on her shoulder trying to forget all the memories that seemed to crop up when he saw a piano, then he heard the music. He opened his eyes, Jade was playing. She was playing the same song that he had been teaching Rachel. He closed his eyes and listened to her. He opened them again when she stopped in the middle of the song. "I don't know the rest," she said looking at him sheepishly. He didn't say anything, just put his hands on the keys and played. He let all his emotions out in his playing but when he finished he still felt the pain like it had happened yesterday. "You know, I think that it was good that she knew how you felt about her before she died" Jade said. "What do you mean?" Alec asked. "Well, that you told her how you really felt about her." "But she didn't know, she was in a coma. She died thinking that I only thought of her as my job." "No she didn't." He looked up at the certainty at which she said that. "She knew you loved her Alec. Why do you think she died after you told her? You left right after the accident and she probably didn't know what happened to you. She was worried about you and so she couldn't leave. Do you think that people stay in comas just for the hell of it Alec? When you saw her you gave her the peace that she needed, you told her what she needed to hear and so she left." "Do you really think so?" he said hopefully. "Course I think so" she said looking down at him. He saw the sincerity in her eyes and felt something in him let go of the pain. There would always be something of it there but now he felt like he could deal with it better. He put his hand on her face and pulled her slowly over to him lightly brushing his lips against hers. He felt her deepen the kiss and pulled her closer not wanting to let her go now that he had her. She pulled back until their noses were touching. "Let's go home" she said pulling him up towards her.
. .
The next day.
Max watched them walk into Jam Pony, their arms around each other. She was just thinking that they seemed to be closer than usual when Alec leaned down and kissed Jade. She felt as if something inside her had died. She had just talked to Logan yesterday and he wasn't very happy when she had said that she had feelings for Alec. Actually not too happy was an understatement, he was furious. He had asked her if Alec felt the same and she had said that Alec had feelings for Jade. Logan then said that he thought that they were together but Max didn't say anything. Logan had then said that he didn't think Max should go after a guy was already taken and he would have gone on but Max had already left his apartment. Max really felt weird, she didn't know what it was. She watched Alec and felt that she needed to have him, she wanted him so badly, needed to touch him, feel him...then she realized. She was in heat. She raced out of work and rode back to her apartment intending on staying there until it had subsided but all she could think of was how fine Alec had looked that morning. God he was hot. Stop it Max. Stop it now. He's with Jade. She went into the shower turning it on full blast. She heard the door open and OC's voice asking her what was wrong, why had she run out at work. "I'm in heat," she yelled back. "Oh" was Cindy's reply. Then the phone rang and OC picked it up. "Hello" "Hey its Logan. Can I talk to Max? She's not answering her cell." He really wanted to talk to her. He was angry that she was after Alec when he had someone else. He was also mad at Alec. He wondered how such a screw up could come between them. He wanted both of them to pay. "She cant Logan, she's in the shower." "Well can you tell her to come over and see me then." "She cant she's in heat." "In heat?" he asked but then he got an evil idea. "Doesn't matter then" and hung up. "Wonder what that was about?" OC said. "Boo, I'm going back to work ok?" she yelled out. "Ok" max yelled back. OC left wondering to herself if Max had told Logan yet. She was gonna be mad if she had and OC had missed it.
. .
Alecs' phone rang. "Hello?" "Alec, it's Logan. There's something wrong with Max" "What's wrong?" Alec asked instantly worried. Jade looked over at him in surprise. "She's in trouble. You have to get to her apartment" "Ok. I'll be right there." "What's wrong?" Jade asked. "Something's wrong with Max. I'm gonna go check on her." "Alright" Jade said, having lost interest as soon as the word Max came up. "I'll seeya later." "Ok" he said giving her a quick kiss goodbye.
. .
"Max!" he yelled as he opened the door to her apartment. "Alec" she said. He saw her on the ground doing push-ups. "What are you doing? Logan said .." but he never finished. He had just smelt the pheromones. Max was looking at him with lust in her eyes. "No Max" he whispered. Trying to get away but his body was betraying him. He felt himself walking towards her. No thought to himself, no but his body was out of control. He grabbed Max and pushed her onto the couch ripping her clothes off. Then he stopped "no" he said and tried to get away but Max grabbed him again and pulled him down to her. She didn't want him to go. He felt the last of his control seep away and the last thought in his mind was a pair of amazing green eyes.
. .
Where is he? Jade thought to herself. It's already 6 and Alec had told her that he would meet her here at 5. He wasn't answering his phone either. She rang Logan to see if Alec was with him. "Hey Logan, is Alec there?" "No, he's probably still at Max's but he should be back by now. Maybe you should go and check on him?" "ok, thanx Logan.' "No problem" he said and hung up, smiling. She got on her bike and made her way across to Max's apartment. "Anyone home?" she was about to yell when she realised the door was open. She looked in and saw the chaos that the room was in and her senses were instantly on alert. She heard a noise and walked into the bedroom. She saw Alec and Max lying there. She saw Alec's eyes widen when he saw her, she saw him open his mouth but she didn't stay around long enough to hear it. She ran out, jumped on her bike and rode off the tears streaming down her face. She didn't know where she was going. She just knew that she had to get away. 452 you have managed to take away everything that I care about she thought. The last thing she saw a sign saying "YOU ARE NOW LEAVING SEATTLE" and she didn't turn back.
. .
It had taken him 3 days to realize that she wasn't coming back. He had sat in her apartment for three days, not eating not sleeping. He had got up today and went to work. Max tried to talk to him but he ignored her. Everything he saw around him reminded him of her. He remembered how happy they had been and knew that it was all his fault that she was gone. He smiled at the memories and that was when he realized that even though she was gone she wouldn't be forgotten.
