Disclaimer: Shh, don't tell..
A/N: Some of you seemed to be a little confused at what happened between Logan & Asha. When I said they were in a heated kiss in his bedroom, I meant they were having sex. Sorry I didn't exactly say the word, but I thought you would think that.. next time I will try to be more precise.
Oh and thank you for all the wonderful reviews. Love em', keep them coming!
..............................................................................
Hope your alright,
it's been rough for me.
Thinkin' all night,
About the places I'd be.
..............................................................................
Chapter One: I'm Aiight
- Jampony, 3PM -
Walking into Jampony that day, Alec grinned. He was having a great day. He only had to deliver one package the whole day, he got two phone numbers, and Max hadn't yelled at him all day.
Okay, so he hadn't seen her all day.
Walking casually over to where Original and a redhead were talking Alec coughed, making himself known. OC looked up at the grinning transgenic. "Hey suga."
"Hi." Alec said, more looking towards the girl beside OC, looking her up and down. Original Cindy chuckled, "Sorry boo, this ones taken. And pregnant."
Alec sighed and slowly walked away, but turned around quickly, "Where's Max anyways? Haven't seen her all day."
OC paused for a moment, and panick flickered over her face. Alec noticed. "Shes uh.. Ya know, I don't know where that girl is. You see her, tell her OC's gotta have a talk with her."
Alec almost didn't believe her, but why would OC lie? It seemed true anyways. He shrugged and grabbed a package that Normal had thrown to him and walked off. Okay, so his day officially now sucked. And he had no idea why.
-
Riding his bike towards his destination, Alec couldn't help but think about OC's words. If Original was telling the truth, where was Max? He grew more worried the more the time flew by.
Reaching a tall building, Alec climbed the steps and got the signature he needed. Walking back down the steps, a thought crossed his mind.
He grinned and rode his bike towards Logans.
-
Logan sat on his signature chair, right in front of the computer. He was typing furiously at the keyboards, looking for another way to get the information of the papers that Max were supposed to drop off.
He was furious with her. Those papers were important, they had all the information about the virus on them, and she decided to take her time.
Alec walked in, practically breaking the door and catching Logan off guard.
"Sorry, the door was in my way." Logan smirked and went back to speed keying, he was great at it. "Logan, did anyone ever tell you that the world is outside, not here in your chair in front of your computer?"
Logan sighed, annoyed. "No Alec, but I am aware." Alec shrugged, "So wheres Max?" Logan stopped 'speed keying', "If I knew, I'd be talking to her right now. She was supposed to drop off my papers."
Alec raised his eyebrow, "So you haven't seen her?" He asked in disbelief. "No Alec. I just said that." Without another word, Alec walked out the door to look for Max.
-
Riding his bike towards Max's place, Alec sighed inwardly. She was probably just somewhere fooling around, perfectly safe. So why couldn't he just forget about it?
Alec rode faster and faster in the cold day, and soon enough he had reached Max's. He broke into her place and looked around.
"Max?" Alec questioned. An eery silence was in the room, and he didn't like it. Walking towards her room he paused, something wasn't right.
The place looked so, empty. Entering her room, he searched around. Hey, nosiness has it's advantages. The grin that crossed his features when he saw a pair of her panties on the floor froze suddenly. Looking around her room, most of her things were gone.
Either Max has a secret stalker stealing all her things, or Max left were the only two logical answers he could come up with.
Puzzled, Alec ran out of the house to find Original Cindy. He had to tell her that something was up.
..............................................................................
- Oregon, 6PM -
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep....
Max's eyes crossed for the 3rd time in fifteen minutes that day at the man beside her. She was getting annoyed with this. The man with a deep British accent sitting beside her was having a 4 hour conversation with his fiance, and she hung up on him, and he was still listening into the phone.
"Excuse me," Max said to the man, "I just kind of happened to notice that your fiance hung up on you." The man looked at her, his face blank. He said nothing, but turned his face the other way.
"Excuse me," Max said to the man again, "No one is on the other end of that phone sir. Could you please turn it off?" She said, clenching her teeth, jaw set, ready to attack.
The man sneered at her and turned his body around so she couldn't see him. She was shaking with anger.
Max closed her eyes and tried to imagine that their was no beeping noise, and it actually started to work. But soon enough the noise was still there and she shot up and grabbed his phone and threw it on the floor.
"Hey! That was my phone." The guy said. "No shit asshole. Now it doesn't beep anymore, so I fixed it for you."
"Rude Rude Rude. Americans are so rude!" The man said. Max chuckled, "Oh okay. Jolly good time, but I have to go mate." Max said mocking him, getting out of her seat.
She moved towards the back of the bus and sat beside another man. He though, looked a little more sane. She hoped.
"Hey there." The man said smiling. "Hi." Max said. "Whats your name?" Max paused, was she supposed to tell the truth? The man was still smiling, waiting for her reply.
"Uhh, Maxine." She studdered. "Beautiful name, I'm Chris. Nice to meet you Max. Can I call you Max?" He asked, still smiling.
*God he has so many teeth.* Max thought. "If you'd like." Max said smiling back. She sighed resting her head on the back of the chair, how un-lucky can she get?
-
About 10 minutes later, Max felt something really strange settling in her lap. It kept moving up her leg. Max opened one of her eyes and saw Chris smiling down at her leg.
Grabbing whatever was coming up her leg, she snapped it instantly. The man beside her screeched in pain. "Bitch!" He shrieked getting up, "You broke my finger!"
Max sneered at the man, "Well, you could have removed it from my leg."
He walked away, grabbing his hand in pain.
Sighing, she closed her eyes. Hoping to get some sleep. Suddenly, a tapping on her arm made Max's eyes open. A little boy, 10 or so, mouth covered in chocolate beamed up at her.
"Can I help you.. whatever you are?" Max asked raising her eyebrow at the dirty child. The little boy nodded, "Wanna play a game?" Max huffed, *Why me?* She thought looking to the ceiling. "What kind of game?" She asked.
"It's a guessing game." Max rolled her eyes, kids were so idiotic sometimes. "Sorry kid, I'm trying to take a nap if you haven't noticed." The boy sneered, "The name's Tommy." He said, his eyes filling with tears.
Without warning, Tommy let out the most annoying sound she had ever heard, besides Alec. He wouldn't stop bawling. Embarassed at the attention thrown her way, Max covered the kids mouth. "Shh! Fine, I'll play. Just shut up."
The boy smiled and sat beside her, eating a chocolate bar. "Okay, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100, guess it."
"10." Max said, boredom echoing through her throat. "Nope, guess again."
"20."
"Guess again."
"30."
"Guess again!"
"40."
"Guess again."
"50."
"Guess again!" The process repeated until Max was ready to strangle the dirty child. "Kid, could you just go back to your mommy and daddy and leave me alone?"
"Can't, my parents left me. Don't know where they are, don't care." Max was a sucker for abandoned kids, and the words affected her greatly. "Your joking right?"
"Nope," He said swinging his legs back and forth, "I don't mind though, I've been better off without them. Even though I don't have any friends or money, I'm okay."
With no other words to say, Max sat in silence. For about 3 seconds.
"Okay, guess again."
..............................................................................
- Crash, 9PM -
"Hey Original, you seen Max since I left JP?"
OC looked up at the guy sadly, "Nope, why?"
Alec shrugged, "Just stopped by your place, and all of Max's things are gone." OC pretended to be surprised, but it didn't work very well.
"Oh my word! What happened to her stuff?" Alec shrugged, "That's what I wanted to ask you." Original Cindy thought for a moment. She couldn't tell Alec, so what was there to say?
"Uhh, boo I really don't think theirs anything to worry 'bout. Believe me." Her eyes bored into his. Alec sighed running a hand through his hair, "Your right, I shouldn't worry. Their's got to be a reason why shes not here, and all her things are gone. Hmm, what could it be?" He said sarcastically.
OC rolled her eyes, "Boo. I'm serious, Max is fine. I just know it." Alec sighed, "Your probably right." But Alec couldn't help but worry more. "You know, I'm gonna go. I will see ya tomorrow."
"Okay boo. But don't worry, Max is aiight." It was like she was turning psychic or something. How in the hell did she know? Without another word, Alec walked out of Crash towards the one spot left to look, the Space Needle.
-
- OC's And Max's Apartment, The Next Day -
Original woke up pouring herself a cup of coffee. Taking a sip, she plopped down on the couch. But to her surprise, it was hard. Like the couch turned lumpy. Then she heard a grunt.
OC screeched and jumped up off the deformed couch. Soon after, Alec's head popped out of the dozens of covers and gasped for air.
"You almost gave OC a heart attack boy. Whatchu thinkin'?!" Original said slapping him upside the head. "Sorry, but I just wanted to wait for Max to get home."
Original Cindy rolled her eyes, "So you decide to stay on night? Honey, why couldn't you just call? I mean, Max is a big girl, and you hate her anyways."
Alec shrugged, "I don't hate her. She hates me." OC shook her head, "Boo, you and Max are both pathetic."
"What?" Alec asked confused. "Nuttin'."
Original almost felt bad for the poor guy. She wanted so bad just to tell the whiner, but she couldn't. She had promised Max, and she was going to keep it. "Boo, why don't you go home?"
"I'm not going to. Not until Max gets here." He objected. Original rolled her eyes, "Look, I'll call if she stops by okay? Geez honey, their is no reason to worry."
"Oh no shes just been gone for two days. Why the hell aren't you worried? I mean, with everything that's going on, I figured you'd at least think it could be possible that something has happened to her. Not even Logan knows where she is, and that's surprising."
If Original Cindy didn't already know where Max was, she would have begun to worry. But she knew exactly where Max was. The problem, she couldn't tell Alec.
Letting her thoughts roam, Original figured that maybe it was a good idea Alec knew where Max was. At least he wouldn't be beating himself up over it now that he knew.
"Alec, sit down. Original knows where Max is."
The words that Alec heard made his eyes go wide and his face to grow hot. You could tell he was pissed by his face, but he obliged and sat down.
"She's in California." Alec was about to interrupt but OC cut him off, "And she's fine. She had to go because of Logan. She needed time to be away from everything. I found out, and she didn't want anyone else to know, especially not you."
"Why not?" Alec questioned. "Cause she knew that you'd freak out and try to find her. Like you are right now." OC said putting a hand on her hip.
Alec sighed running a hand through his messy hair. "Okay, so who's going to tell Logan?" Original shook her head furiously, "Nobody, you know that he'll freak, worse than you."
"True. He's homicidal." OC rolled her eyes, "Just promise me you won't go off and look for her? She'll be back soon."
"Fine." Alec said, clearly not happy with his promise. "Boo, I know you care about Max. Anyone with eyes can see it. Shes going through a hard time right now, you just gotta wait for her to be ready to deal, then things will be back to normal."
Alec nodded, "Got it. I'm going to go to bed now, long day tomorrow. Considering I won't be agitating Max for awhile, I think I'll be bored."
Original smiled, "She's probably happy." Alec grinned, "Maybe not. She probably misses me."
OC snorted, "You wish boo." Alec shrugged, "It could happen."
Walking out the door, Alecs thoughts seemed to shift, because she was gone. He felt so, alone.
..............................................................................
- California, 9AM -
Finally getting off the nightmare bus, Max walked over to a nearby building. Noticing someone following her, she quickly turned around and stood in a fighting stance.
"Woah!" Said Tommy, the little annoying boy that would never go away. Max sighed in annoyance, "You." She said bored.
"Yeah me. Sorry I scared you, but I was hoping I could stay with you for a little while." Max couldn't believe what she was hearing. The annoying kid wanted to stay, with her.
"Oh no. Absolutely not. I came here to be alone, not hang with a new little buddy I made on a bus." Max said. The boy let out the same annoying noise that she had heard three times already. She wanted to strangle him.
"Okay okay. Shut up! You can stay. But not for long." The boy smiled in satisfaction. "So where are we staying roomie?" He asked.
Max scrunched her nose at the word roomie. "Just up here at this apartment. Its not in the best of shape, but it will do." The boy looked up at a tall brick building, looking like it was about to collapse.
"Eww. Were staying there?" He asked. "Don't like it, then don't stay. Roomie."
He sighed and followed her into the building. They walked up a long stairs until they got to the room they were to stay in.
Walking in, they threw their luggage on the floor. "It's a little dusty, but we can clean this place up like new." Max said. "A little dusty? Dust 3 inches thick isn't a little dusty to me." The agitating boy said.
"Okay now your officially getting really annoying. Shut it, now." Max said glaring at him. "God you are so much like Alec." Max whispered.
"Whos Alec?" Tommy asked. "Oh just this asshole back in Seattle. He always got on my nerves." Tommy shrugged, "Whats an asshole?"
"Nothing." Max said sighing, shaking her head. God, could this kid get any more annoying. "Just go to sleep. We've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow." The boy nodded and took a blanket and pillow and layed on the floor.
"Goodnight Max."
"Night kid."
