Disclaimer: I don't own them, everybody already knows this shit.

A/N: Hey! Sorry this is a short chapter, but I need to get them together. I think I'm going to make 1 or 2 more chapters, but I'm going to write a sequel. I already have it in mind! Well on to the story!

Chapter 3: Broken Bike leads to?

She rolled over for what she had counted the 127th time. She couldn't sleep, every time she moved or breathed she could smell his scent coming off the bed. Get a hold of yourself, it's Alec for Christ sakes! How am I thinking of Alec like this, this is just too weird!

She rolled out of bed and started to walk for the door. She saw the T.V. still on and Alec sleeping uncomfortably on the couch. She sat down in the chair and watched him. She didn't know how long she watched him, until very suddenly his eyes bolted open.

"Max, you scared me."

"Sorry."

"Are you okay?" he asked, she looked a little pale.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You can sleep in your bed now, I can't sleep." She said gesturing to his bedroom.

"Are you sure, you look really pale." He asked truly concerned.

"Yeah, I think I'll just watch some T.V. until I gotta leave to go get ready for work."

"Okay, I'll watch some T.V. with you." He slid over on the couch so she could sit next to him.

She gratefully took the offer and plopped down next to him. They started watching a show, which they had no clue what it was about. After about 10 minutes they were both zonked out. Max with her head on Alec's shoulder, and Alec with his arm around her waist.

Max was the first to wake to the dim rays of light. She understood it was early, the only thing she didn't understand is how Alec's arm had gotten around her, and why her head was on his shoulder. She started to pull out of his warm embrace when he groggily woke up.

"Wha tyme s-it?" he asked rubbing his eyes and yawning.

She looked at the VCR clock, "Oh no! It's 9:30, Normal's going to kill us!" she said jumping up, snatching her bag, and sprinting to the bathroom.

When she came out Alec was fully dressed, and had 2 donuts out readily waiting to leave.

"Thanks." She said as they walked out the door and down to their bikes.

When they reached their bikes they saw what had happen. Alec's bike had been completely beat up, it had scratches, holes and even a couple burn marks.

He sighed loudly, "Great, just great!"

"I'm sorry," Max said suddenly feeling very small.

Alec turned around to look at her. "It's not your fault."

All of a sudden she broke down into tears, neither of them knew why. Alec saw this and wrapped his arms around in an embrace. He ran his hand through her hair speaking softly, "It's okay, It's okay."

She mumbled lowly, but not low enough so Alec couldn't hear, "My life is so screwed up, I mean first Logan, but I don't love him. Not really. Who I really want is you. Alec, I love you." She sobbed harder.

Alec pulled back a little. Astounded by what he had heard. He wasn't sure if it was his mind hearing what he wanted, or Max had really said that.

"What did you say?" he asked looking down at her.

She lifted her face, "I said, I love you, Alec."

He wrapped his arms tight around her and smiled, "I love you too, Maxie."
