Chapter 2

Max's P.O.V

Where the hell am I? The last thing I remember is being shot and Alec holding me, telling me I'm going to be okay and then something about Dr. Shankar. It can't have been that bad I mean it doesn't even hurt anymore, wait, does that mean I'm dead? I don't feel dead; then again I didn't the last time, so I'm not sure. Hey, I can't be dead, there's Alec. I can see him now. Why does he look so fuzzy and why's he carrying me? I mean I do have legs you know. He's such an ass! Oh yeah, I'm hurt, blood loss and all that.

God I can't believe I'm such a bitch to him and yet he still stays. One of these days I'm going to have to tell him what a great guy he is. He doesn't even complain, well he does but not in a bad way. I mean, look at today, he didn't have to come and yet he did. Like he always does. Shit, I blame him for everything even when it wasn't his fault. Okay sometimes it is his fault for not asking for help when he needs it, the ass. He's so headstrong and stubborn and...

Like you used to be

I was never like him. The only person he cares for is himself, Max replied to the voice in her head.

Oh really? So why did he come to help find your sister?

Because he had nothing better to do than annoy me. And it's not like I asked him to come answered Max in a not so very convincing way.

Okay then, why's he carrying you to the hospital when he's hurt himself?

He's hurt? When did he get hurt? I never saw him get hurt. I mean I know White got him with the knife but he said it was just a scratch and he said he was alright.

Like he's always alright?

It finally dawned on Max that Alec was a lot better at hiding his feelings then she was and that maybe he had lied to her.

Well, then it's his own fault for lying to me! The asshole should learn to fight back.

Before or after checking that you're alright?

I... uh I . Shut up! It's not my fault he got distracted. Maybe he should learn to concentrate better. God knows how many times it would have stopped him from getting into trouble and me having to save his ass.

Wait, why do I even care? It's not like I like him or anything. He's just a screw up. If it wasn't for him, Logan and I would have got the cure for the virus.

Keep telling yourself that and then maybe you can say you love Logan as well

I do love Logan!

Then why don't you tell him? Maybe it's because you never did!

Shut up! You know I'd do anything for him.

Or maybe it's because you love someone else.

I do not LOVE Alec! I love LOGAN!

How did you know I was talking about Alec and not Rafer?

Oh please, I think I know what my head is thinking and I haven't even spoken to Rafer for like forever.

You didn't answer the question.

Biting her lip, Max stayed silent.

"Well do you?"

Tinga? Max asked surprised.



O.C's P.O.V

It's been 8 hours since Max came out of her operation and she's still not awake. Dr. Shankar hasn't said anything yet but I know it's bad. I think she's in a coma and she might not wake up. But if I know my boo she's fighting this bitch.

It's her boy I'm worried about. He was hurt pretty bad and didn't even complain. From what I heard from roller boy they didn't even realise he was hurt until he collapsed in front of them.

Sighing in disgust, she saw Logan pacing up and down the corridor. Too consumed in his own guilt that he didn't even ask how they were, well how Alec was anyway. She would have said something to comfort him but it was his stupid fault they were in this mess in the first place. And if he didn't care about her boo then she wasn't about to be nice. Max may tolerate it but she didn't. Dismissing Alec like he was garbage wasn't going to get him in her good books.

Thinking about Alec brought a smile to her face. She had seen a completely different side to him. Up until a couple of weeks ago he only looked after number 1 without a care for the trouble he caused. And he caused a lot! Thankfully he had Max to save his ass.

But this time it was him who saved Max. Now if anything could get him in her good books it was this. She always knew that under his cocky, arrogant exterior he did care. He didn't show it but he did.

Her boo was too blind and confused to see it. What she needed was to open her eyes and try to get out of her fantasy. She wants to be normal but she isn't. She needs to accept that and try to find out who she really is.

But who's going to show her?

Logan's P.O.V

She isn't awake yet. Why isn't she awake? Dr. Shankar says she's in a coma and that she might not wake up. But I don't believe her. Max's going to be okay, she's just sleeping. She'll wake up and then I'll find the cure so that we can be together, and then we'll be together like we should be.

Oh god! I can't believe I'm thinking about my relationship with Max when she's lying there in a coma. If it wasn't for Alec she wouldn't have even made it this far. I can't believe I saw him as a worthless screw up. I'm Eyes Only for God's sake! The good guy. At least I was until, uh, I don't know.

But everything is going to be alright. Max and Alec are going to be alright. Max is going to wake and be her beautiful self. And Alec's going to go back to being, well Alec.

Yeah that's right and then we'll all go back to the way we were before. Except this time we'll find the cure and then Max and I will lead a normal life. Like we were meant to, no, like we were destined to.
