Disclaimer: I still own nothing related to Dark Angel, the guy who brought
us "Titanic" and the network that is known more for its style rather than
its substance do, but, I do like to take Max and Logan out to play with
them sometimes. The song lyrics belong to Sheryl Crow. Again, if you would
like to archive this story, please ask first. Please read and review.
"I Shall Believe" By ML Fan
A "Freak Nation" ficlet. Max finally comes clean about the lie.
"Please say honestly you won't give up on me. And I shall believe."
Sheryl Crow
"Forget the last part I said," said Max in her all too usual sad voice.
Max walks toward the door.
I've got to come clean...tell him that it was all a lie and that I never cheated on him. I have no idea how he's going to react, I mean what if he gets angry with me? Although, if he's angry with me that might mean he still cares, right?...I think.
Max sighs.
"Max, what are you still doing here? I thought that you were leaving," said Logan in a controlled tone.
Max snaps out of her thoughts.
Max begins talking with her back still turned to him, "What if I told you if was all a lie? What if I told you that I used Alec to get away from you and that it just made everything worse for me, not better?"
"Max, why did you wait so long to tell me the truth? Do you have any idea how many nights I've wondered if Alec was making love to you and took care of you like I would've?" Logan sighs.
"There's not much I can give you right now, but, I can tell you the truth. I still care for you more than anything in the world and I forgot about that when I lied to you. All I can say is that I will never lie to you again, nothing is worth the pain I've walked around with, not to mention the pain I know I caused you. I have also been scared because, I have had no idea how you're going to react to this."
"Max, I don't know what to say other than that I'm relieved, but, I'm also angry with you, because, you let me think you were with him every night. But, I think that with time, we can work through this, despite, the pain and lost time. I have always wondered since that night in the car if you loved me like I loved you and I'm glad that you finally expressed your true feelings, even though I know it's hard for you to say so sometimes. The universe is right on schedule, right?"
"I guess you're right, Logan and I figure if you the eternal optimist can believe that, I can too, I'm grateful that you didn't give up on me or on us."
