"LOGAN!"
Max dove into the water and swam at an incredible speed.
She reached Logan just as the small boat was pulling up. She picked him up and flung him into the deck of the boat, climbing on behind him,
"Logan? Logan oh God can you hear me?" Max slapped his face and bent down to check for a pulse.
"Is he ok?" Original Cindy swam to the edge of the boat and one of the guys helped her up.
"He has a pulse but he's not breathing!" Max took a deep breath and tried to calm down so that she could remember her mouth to mouth training.
She helped him breathe a few times until finally he coughed and took a deep breath on his own.
"Oh thank God you're ok Logan!" Max helped him sit up and rubbed his back while he coughed.
"I was so worried you..."
Logan heaved and threw up all over Max.
She looked down at herself and had to fight the urge to throw up, which was weird since she was used to things like that and she had seen Logan sick before, plus it was mostly water but still...
"We should take him to the hospital, have him checked out." She told Cindy who nodded while trying to suppress a laugh at watching Walter being pulled on deck.
*************
When Logan woke up again he found himself on a hospital bed, alone.
"Max?" He whispered hoarsely.
"I'm right here." She walked out of the bathroom and rushed to his side.
"What happened?"
"You fell and hit your head on a rock..."
"No, I know that! I mean after I blacked out again."
Max noticed his hoarse voice and handed him a glass of water.
"I called an ambulance once we got to shore, they brought you here, did some tests to look far brain damage, found none and wanted to keep you here until you woke up." Max resumed.
"Ok, great! So when can we get out of here?" Logan sat up and threw the covers off him.
"Oh no you don't mister! The doctor wants to keep you here for observation!" Max pushed him back down on the bed.
"Max! I'm ok! I think we can go back to the hotel now!" Logan insisted.
"No! The doctors want you here, you have to stay here!" Max raised her voice.
It was only then that Logan realized how loudly they had been arguing and he lowered his voice.
"Look, if you're so concerned then maybe YOU can look out for me ok? After all you don't sleep."
"I'm no doctor either Logan." Max snapped.
"I KNOW that, but you have basic medical training. That's enough for me!"
Max thought it over for a few seconds... she really wasn't looking forward to spending the night at the hospital.
"Ok, fine. Get dressed, sign the papers, I'll go look for the others."
Logan smiled and got to work on getting dressed.
*************
Max was just leaving Logan's room when she bumped into Sketchy.
"Hey Max! I was just about to go in and give you this." He handed her a small plastic cup.
"What is it?" Max asked him. It smelled delicious and Max realized how hungry she was.
"Shrimp cocktail..."
That was enough for Max, she started wolfing it down.
"Hey, slow down! You're gonna choke! And besides, it tastes better with lemon..."
"This is fine Sketch, thanks. Where are the others?"
"Cafeteria."
"Thanks, look after Logan for me will ya? I'll be back in a few." Max handed him the empty cup and flew down the stairs.
Sketchy stared at her back and watched her go.
*************
When she reached the cafeteria she bought a sandwich, two bags of chips, three packages of cookies and a large coke before joining Walter, Kendra and Original Cindy at the table.
"Hungry boo?" OC stared at the food in front of her.
"I guess... Logan's ok, we're leaving as soon as he's ready." Max unwrapped her sandwich and opened a bag of chips.
"Didn't Sketchy find you? He had a shrimp cocktail for you!" Kendra was also staring at the food.
"Oh I bumped into him, he gave me the cocktail, I ate it already."
Max concentrated on her food and the other three glanced at each other over her head.
"Boo, are you feeling aiight?" Original Cindy asked her.
"Sure, why?" Max looked up and saw her friends and Walter staring at her food.
Max giggled "Guys, I'm hungry! When I get depressed, excited or worried I eat like a pig so sue me!"
"I was just saying boo!" Original Cindy raised her hands in surrender.
Max finished her sandwich, her coke and a bag of chips before standing up. "I'll go check up on Logan, get ready to leave!" She grabbed her cookies and the bag of chips before leaving.
Kendra walked after her and waited until they where a safe distance away from the others to talk to her.
"Max, wait! Can I ask you something?" She caught up with Max.
"Sure, what?"
"Well... this is going to sound pretty stupid but... how did you manage to throw Logan into the boat like that?"
Max stood very still for a couple of seconds. "What do you mean?"
"I mean... I know it's stupid but Sketchy kind of wondered too and I just had to ask."
Max sighed "I work out Kendra, that's all there is to it. Plus, I didn't even think! He wasn't breathing for crying out loud, I just reacted!"
"Ok, ok! Don't get so defensive! I was just saying!" Kendra whispered urgently.
"Everyone seems to be doing that a lot lately." Max turned her back to Kendra and went to look for Logan.
*************
"Logan! Hey!" Max placed her hand on his shoulder. He was signing some papers at the ER's front desk.
"Hey Max... what's wrong?" Logan lowered his voice.
"Kendra is suspicious... she is wondering how I managed to throw you into the boat so effortlessly when her own boyfriend had to be helped up!" Max whispered.
Logan sighed and rubbed his temple "Max, you have to be more careful."
"You where drowning!"
"That's not the point Max! There's nothing you can do about it now. Let's just hope she forgets the whole thing."
The doors to the ER burst open and a guy walked in carrying a teenage girl in his arms. The girl was bleeding heavily from her stomach.
"Una camilla! Rapido!" One of the nurses yelled.
Max stared at the girl, it was probably a gunshot wound.
She felt sick to her stomach and sort of dizzy.
"Max, are you ok? You look pale." Logan grabbed her arm and steadied her.
"I'm ok it's just... the blood or something, maybe the smell of the hospital. Let's just get out of here ok?" She tried to shake off the feeling.
"Max, you've seen worse things. Now is not the time to get squeamish." Logan guided her away from the bleeding girl and led her out of the hospital to where the other ones where waiting.
Original Cindy saw how pale Max seemed and asked "What happened?"
"A girl came in, she was bleeding a lot and Max felt sick." Logan explained.
"I did NOT feel sick because of that girl! Maybe the sandwich was bad!" Max objected.
"Yeah, right. Let's just go to the hotel ok?" Logan hailed a cab and no one complained.
*************
Since it was already past midnight and none of them felt like going out, the six of them grumbled good nights and retreated to their own rooms. Kendra shutting the door behind Walter, Original Cindy leaving hers open and threatening Sketchy with ripping off important parts of his anatomy if he so much as came close to her.
Max took off her shirt and tossed it to a couch. She untied the straps of her bikini and slipped on a long white T-shirt before tossing the bathing suit too.
She climbed into the queen sized 'sofa', yawned and closed her eyes.
Logan couldn't help but stare at her.
"You're going to bed already?" He asked.
"No, I'm having a picnic." Max replied sarcastically.
"I thought maybe we could go down to the beach, watch the stars."
"You need your rest Logan." Max's voice was muffled against the pillow.
"Ok, then let's just go to the balcony, drink some whine or something." Logan pleaded.
"Logan..."
"Max, what is wrong with you? I'm seriously concerned." Logan sat down besides her and stroked the hair away from her face.
Max finally turned around to face him. She gave him a tiny smile.
"I'm ok Logan, really." She took his face in her hands and guided his mouth to hers.
He kissed her eagerly and she responded. Logan ran his hands over her arms, her hips, her legs.
Max shifted and pulled Logan on top of her, he supported his weight with his arms but never broke the kiss.
Logan raised Max's shirt with one hand, caressing her skin until he reached her breast. She arched against him and moaned.
"Hey lovebirds! We're trying to get some sleep here! Wanna bang the gong? Get another room!" Cindy yelled from her bedroom.
Max broke the kiss by giggling quietly. Logan sighed and rolled off her. He pulled her against him and whispered.
"That's not a bad idea, we need a room and we need it fast."
Max didn't answer.
"Max?"
But she was already asleep.
*************
The next morning Logan woke up to the sound of someone retching in the bathroom. The sheets beside him where empty but still warm.
He got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom.
Logan knocked and waited for an answer but received none. He opened the door slowly and found Max sitting next to the toilet, her face down.
"God Max, are you ok?" He handed her a cloth and sat down next to her.
"I just woke up feeling sick I don't know..." Max stopped talking when she heard someone else throwing up, then Original Cindy screamed "Get out of my way you fool before I put you in a world of..."
Logan frowned and ran to the room that Cindy and Sketchy shared.
He found them both on the bathroom floor, green yet pale.
"You two ok?" Logan asked them.
"Do we LOOK ok?" Original Cindy snapped.
"Hey what's up? We heard yelling!" Kendra ran into the room wearing a red robe and followed by Walter.
"Everyone's sick apparently." Logan answered, "Max is throwing up too."
Original Cindy looked up "She is?"
"Why is that so surprising?"
Cindy shrugged "I just thought it might have been something that we ate but Max and I didn't eat the same thing, she had shrimp and a sandwich, I had pizza and so did Sketchy."
The five of them glanced at each other before rushing to Max.
Logan, Cindy and Kendra entered the small bathroom. Sketchy and Walter stood at the doorway.
Max, who still looked sick, stared at all of them.
"What?" She asked.
"You're sick?" OC asked her.
"Why does everyone insist in asking stupid questions? It's probably just something I ate."
Original Cindy shook her head "That's what I thought at first too boo, the thing is Sketchy and I are also sick but we didn't eat the same thing."
Max shrugged "So, maybe both things where bad."
Original Cindy snorted "Boo, you're tired, hungry, moody and just plain weird all the time."
"You're squeamish." Logan shipped in.
Max shrugged again "So what? I'm a girl!"
"No boo, I think it's something else... I think you're pregnant."
