O.C. and Max's Apt.
8:30pm
Max stood in front of the full length mirror at her and O.C.'s apartment. She shifted her weight, trying to figure out if this long black dress would work. It was tight, tube style and sleeveless down to her hips and then flowed into black and red silk.
"Max, you almost ready?" O.C. began
"Almost," Max answered.
"Damn! You look good! But there's something missing." O.C. went over to her vanity and picked up a flower hairclip. She clipped it into Max's hair.
"There. Now girl, tell me why you're so dressed up for a party you don't even really want to go to?"
"Because this isn't for me, it's for Hannah. She needs to have fun."
"Please. You're dressed like this for Logan. You want to look nice for his party."
"Tsch. No!"
"Max, stop playin'. You're not foolin' anyone, especially not Original Cindy, your home girl. Just tell him you're not with Alec. You two can find a way."
Before Max could answer there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it," Max said before O.C. could say anything else.
As Max opened the door, she quickly put on a forced smile. "Hey Han-" she stopped short and her face as she saw who was at the door.
"Logan, I um, thought you'd be Hannah and Alec."
"I know. We're picking them up next. Hannah apparently needed more time. You girls," he began to chuckle, then looked at his toes.
"I…guess," she forced a tiny smile.
"But I guess it's worth it-you look, beautiful Max," he said as he took the sight of her in. "More so than usual."
"Um, thanks. And you look handsome." This time Max's smile was genuine.
Logan wore a simple suit, with a maroon handkerchief in the left pocket.
"Thanks."
The two just stood, staring at each other, and then the floor, which was apparently very interesting.
"You two gonna stare at each other or are you going?"
"We were so not staring at each other," Max spit, snapping out of the awkward moment.
"Right," Logan agreed. "Really, not staring. And we are most definitely going, right Max?"
"Right," Max agreed. "Night O.C."
O.C laughed to herself as the two left. Like two lovesick puppies.

Alec's apt
9pm
"You almost ready Hannah? Logan will be here any minute."
"Uh huh. Ready. How do I look?"
Hannah stepped out of Alec's room wearing an off the shoulder deep blue full length gown. The top was corset like, with the off-the shoulder portion a slightly lighter blue. Hugging her to her waist where it flowed out in lovely blue silk down to her feet, which were dressed in blue stilettos that matched the top of the gown. Her hair was swept up in a French twist.
Alec just stood, his mouth agape.
"Oh great. I look stupid right? I should go change."
"No," Alec laughed, gently stopping her by holding onto her arm and turning her back around to face him. "It's just-I don't think I've ever seen anyone so beautiful."
"Aww!" she exclaimed as she melted. She wrapped her arms around his neck and caressed his lips with hers ever so softly, and then with all of the passion she could muster, he returning the gesture fully. After a while the two broke for air.
"Wow," he laughed. "Lets just keep doing this, forget the dance," he said as he moved forward to kiss her again. This time Hannah broke off the kiss after a second or two, putting her hands on his chest and smiling with love in her eyes.
"I'd love too, but we have a plan remember?" she smiled.
"Yeah, you're right."
She took a step back, realizing how Alec was dressed. "And now it's my turn to be amazed. You look very handsome tonight."
Alec certainly was looking sharp in dark black pants, a clean white shirt and suit jacket to match. His hair was slicked back.
"Thank you," Alec answered as the doorbell rang.
"You're welcome, sexy," she replied, giving him a playful slap on the butt.
"Hannah!" Alec said with surprise. "You are some woman," he said huskily, pulling her close for another kiss.
"I know," she smiled. "Shall we?"

9:45pm
The Limo
As the limo drove to get Alec and Hannah, Max and Logan sat quietly.
Logan coughed, trying to break the silence. "Max, umm.."
"Yeah?" she snapped back, still annoyed he was taking Hannah to this party.
"Nevermind. Ah, we're here."

10:05pm
Inside the Limo outside of the party
Soon after leaving Alec's apt. the foursome arrived at the party.
"Here we are," Logan got out, extending his hand for Hannah.
"Thanks Logan."
After Max and Alec got out of the limo, Logan tried to loop his arm through Hannah's. "Shall we?" he began.
"We…shan't" Hannah smiled, stepping back. "At least not you and me."
Alec moved to Hannah, extending his arm for her. "We're going together."
"You too?" Logan asked, with a blank stare.
"Yes," Hannah smiled. "We belong together. So do the both of you."
"Alec, how could you do this to Max?" Logan asked.
"Max?" Alec responded. "Oh yeah. We were never together. I'll let her explain that to you."
"See you both inside!" Hannah smirked, as the couple left the other pair dumbfounded.
Logan just shook his head. "Why Max? Why would you lie to me?"
"I-I didn't want you to get hurt. It's not safe for you…to be with me…" Max's voice dropped to a pained whisper as she averted her eyes.
"Max, it's my life, you don't get to decide that for me."
"But Logan, if something ever happened to you…"
"Max, I can handle myself. Plus I've got you to protect me."
"Yeah," Max laughed. "But we still can't…"
"I know, we'll figure it out Max, even if it takes a lifetime. You're worth it."
Max sniffed, holding back tears. "I love you," she smiled.
"I love you too Max," Logan grinned and then laughed.
"What's so funny?" Max asked.
"Well, I guess their little plan worked. I never thought I'd say this, but Alec actually helped us."
"Yeah," Max laughed. "Along with Hannah, it seems his good side has shown through. I think he really must care for her."
"Probably. We should go in and thank them."
"I guess," Max laughed rolling her eyes.

At the Same time
Inside the party
Hannah and Alec watched from the opposite end of the room as their friends entered, smiling.
"They make such a cute couple," Hannah gushed. "I wish we could help them with that stupid virus."
"Me too," Alec said, rubbing her back. "They'll find a way. Love tends too," Alec said smirking.
Hannah giggled. "Corny much?"
"Hey!" Alec mocked upsettedness. "Shall we dance?" Alec said, extending his hand.
"I would," Hannah replied, "but it doesn't seem fair. They can't. I don't know if I could take it, not being able to touch you-"
"Well," Alec said, "I am irresistible."
Hannah just rolled her eyes as Max and Logan approached the two.
"Hey guys."
"Hey," Logan said. "We just wanted to thank you, Hannah for helping us."
"No problem," Hannah waved her hand.
"Ahem!" Alec coughed.
"Yes, and thank you too Alec," Logan forced himself to say.
"No problem," Alec gave him a nice slap on the back as the girls laughed. The pair continued to chat as a dark van pulled up around the back of the building and a man stepped out, hidden by darkness.
Peering in through the window, he could clearly see Hannah and-
X-5494! This is my lucky night! With the décor in the room, he didn't see Max or Logan. a
So she thinks she can find happiness with 494. Stupid girl, I told her, if I can't have her, no one will. Most certainly not that filth. I'll kill him. Oh to watch the pain on her face yet again, and this time she won't get away. Ill watch her cry, cry for her love, make her feel the pain she's put me through. And then if she decides to let me have her, perhaps I'll let her live.

Back at the party
"Its getting late, maybe we should call it a night", Logan said.
"I guess. This evening was magical. Thanks for inviting me Logan," Hannah said.
"Sure. And thanks for dumping me!"
This made the whole group laugh.
"Before we go, I just have to use the ladies room. Be right back guys."
As Hannah entered the bathroom, she smiled at her reflection "What a great night," she said aloud.
"I agree," came a man's voice. Before she could even react, the man knocked her out. Now we just wait for your sweetie to come looking for you.
**********************
25 minutes later
Sure enough, Alec was starting to get worried.
"I'm gonna go check on Hannah, make sure she's okay," Alec said to Logan. Max had gone outside to get some air. "Well meet you guys at the car, okay?"
"Sure," Logan answered.
Alec made his way to the ladies room. "Hannah?" he said, knocking at the door. "Hannah?" he asked again. The party was dying down so he figured it would be pretty empty, and frankly he was starting to really wonder if Hannah was alright. He thought maybe she just had a stomach ache, but now she wasn't answering.
Alec slowly opened the door and was horrified at what he saw.
"White, get your hands off her!"
As Alec rushed forward White stopped him. "Uh, uh, 494, he said, shaking the gun he had at her head. "You come any closer, she dies."
Alec clenched his fists. Why do you want her? Just let her go, and you can have me.
"Well 494, I had no idea you were so valiant, trying to protect your 'lady-love' he scoffed.
"Shut up White, just LET HER GO!"
"Keep your voice down, 494. Just come with me, and I won't shoot her in the head."
Well, we got to the dance! And as far as White, just imagine he went to the bathroom lol. Ok, first of all, sorry it took so freakin long for this chapter.
