Disclaimer: don't own anything except Jade.
It had been three months since she had left. He sighed as he looked out of the window of his apartment. He was alone again. He had just started to speak to Max again, he knew that it wasn't her fault, she couldn't control her heat. Then he grimaced, she had told him that it wasn't just her heat, she had really wanted him, wanted him for a while now. He could forgive her for her heat but he couldn't forgive her for that. She had taken away the one thing that had made him happy in so long. He remembered the look of Jade's face, he saw the hurt, the pain. It reminded him so much of Rachel's face when he had told her. Except this time Jade wasn't lying around waiting for him, she was gone, probably as far away from him as possible and he didn't blame her. He'd run from himself too if he could. He was alone. There was no one there to make him feel better, no one to help him think it through. OC had said that she would be there for him and so did Sketchy but they don't understand, none of them understand what he had been through. Only Max and Jade. Jade was gone and Max was back with Logan. He felt the anger stir in him at the thought of Logan. He had told Max that Logan had told him to come over but Max had just said that Logan probably just wanted them to talk. He didn't believe her, he knew that Logan probably had something to do with it, he just couldn't prove it. He couldn't believe that Max was back with that guy. He couldn't believe that she still thought of him as her hero. Hero my ass he thought.

Max walked into work and saw Alec. He had his locker open but he wasn't doing anything, just staring at it. She walked over to try and see what had captured his attention. He turned as if sensing her presence.
"Hey Max" he said, giving her his usual smirk.
"Hey, watcha staring at?" she asked him.
"Nothing much," and closed the locker then walked over to Normal to get the package he was waving at him. "Seeya later Max."
"Bye." She looked out after him as he walked out, he was acting normally again. Well not really normal but he was getting there. She couldn't believe what she had done. She managed to break him and Jade up and he was still here pretending like nothing had happened. He hadn't even said anything to blame her for this. He didn't need to though, she felt bad enough. She still had feelings for him but knew that nothing could ever happen between them now this has happened. She was back with Logan now. She didn't want to be but she needed someone to turn to and even though OC had said that she was there for her she knew that OC thought that it wasn't a coincidence that Alec was there. She hadn't said anything but she didn't need to. Max was feeling guilty because she had gone to Logan and he had been so caring even after the way she had treated him. Alec had thought that Logan had sent him over on purpose but Max didn't believe that Logan would do anything that heinous. He was such a nice guy, he even took her back and looked after her when she needed someone. She knew that she should tell him that her feelings for him are only as friends but she didn't know how. He thought that there was still something there and that her thing for Alec was just a thing. Nothing more but it was, she couldn't get him off her mind. She didn't know what to do.
