Knock, knock

"Yo Logan? You home?" Max yelled out into Logan Cale's apartment. "Maxie, are you sure he's home?" her now best friend Alec asked. "Yeah, he paged me like an hour or two ago." Max trailed off saying. Alec following her, collided with her body that was suddenly stopped in front of the dining room entryway. Looking around Max's body, Alec sees what had made his strong friend stop dead. There on the floor were Logan and Asha naked as the day they were born asleep in each other arms. "WHAT THE FUCK?" Alec yelled, not caring if he woke the two sleeping lovers up.

The yell had woken Logan up. He couldn't figure out how anyone was in his apartment in the first place. He was pretty sure he had locked the door after Asha had arrived. He slowly opened his eyes to see Asha in his arms, but what caught his attention was the fact that both Max and Alec were in the doorway. Alec had to have been the one that yelled, he was sure of it, due to the fact that Max rarely yelled let alone raised her voice to him. He could have cared less what Alec thought of him, it was Max he was worried about. She would probably understand everything. Thing that, he was unprepared for what he saw in Max's face. She was angry, hurt and betrayed. He knew if looks could kill, he would be dead right now a thousand times over.

"Look Max, I can explain everything." Logan started to say, thinking fast. "See I wasn't feeling so hot earlier, and Asha came over to make me some chicken soup to help me feel better and we must have fallen asleep on the floor." He replies knowing she would probably believe it. After all she had been believing everything else Logan had said to her, after her return from Manticore. ( note this takes place during second season of Dark Angel) Logan knew that he really didn't love her, he might have in the beginning, but not now. Not since she was in Manticore and he had met Asha. Beside its not even his fault that she found out like this. No sir re bob. It's all that damn asshole, Alec's fault. If he hadn't been here, then Max would never have found out about him and Asha.

Max couldn't believe Logan would do this to her. After all that they have been though. "Yeah right Logan, and I'm the Queen of England. If you were really sick, then how come you are both of you are naked? Hmm? I know that you are lying to me. Now the question is how long have you been lying to me. Well, guess what bub. We are though. No more missions for Eyes Only. No more information retrieval. Nothing" Max says quietly. "Yeah? What about your family? Hmm? I thought you wanted me to help you find them." Logan demanded from the floor. "I can find them myself, and if I can't, then I will go ask Alec or Zack. But we are though." She said. And with that she left the room in a died run.

"Why did you have to go and sleep with Asha? Hmm? You had everything a guy could what in a girl, well except sex. Was that why you did it? Because you can't have sex? Or was is it because of this damn virus. Well I really don't care because, guess what. You just blew it. You have just lost Final Jeopardy. Go start to Jail. DO NOT pass GO. DO NOT collect two hundred dollars. You are nothing but a loser, Dude. You threw away the best thing that will ever happen to you for a pieces of ass. Go To Hell Asshole." Alec said to Logan, leaves before Logan can comment. With his leaving, Logan begins to ponder what he is going to do about Max.

When Alec arrives at Max and Original Cindy's apartment, the apartment was covered in light. Every corner you looked at, there was a candle glowing. Alec headed towards Max's room and finds her on the floor with boxes and boxes of pictures, letters and gifts all around her.

" Hey Maxie, I don't want to sound mean or anything, but is that stuff Logan gave you or something else?" He asked concerned. Max looked up at Alec with tears in her eyes. "No. This is some stuff Ben told me to get from his apartment before he died. I never really had a chance to go through them till now." Max replies to him sadly. "Oh." Alec stated, not knowing what to really say to her.

Alec decide to take the empty spot near her starts to look at the piles that surround them both. Looking at one pile in particular, he picks up the first picture he sees. " Hey Max, when was this taken? Ben doesn't look much older then twelve." He asked in wonderment at what was on the picture. Max grabs the picture, in his hand to see what one he was looking at. It was a picture of Ben and a pretty brown haired girl kissing at a carnival. She looks at the back of the picture before replying. " That's because he was only twelve Alec."

Alec was in total shock. His killer of a twin had a girlfriend at twelve? From what he heard from Max, she didn't really have much fun as a teenager because she was always living in fear, but here was his twin smiling and looking like he was having the time of his life. Alec starts to pick up more pictures, wondering what they could tell him. All the pictures were of the same thing, Ben and some girl through the years. A couple even had what looked like a baby in them but he wasn't sure. From what he could tell, the first picture took place not long after he escaped, and the last to about the time he was fifteen.

Looking up from the pictures in shock, he couldn't help but wonder who this girl was to his twin. "Max, who is she? Why is she so important to Ben? Why does he look like he never wants to let her go?" Alec asks after seeing one of the last pictures taken. " Because Alec, According to these papers, the girl to him was his everything. In one of these pages he writes that she makes him feel human, and he never wanted to lose her for fear of what that might do to him. But something must have happened that made him leave her. It appears that when he found out that he couldn't return to her, that was when he started his killing spree. In another of these papers, someone wrote that she was his girl in all senses of the word. That they had meet not long after Ben had arrived in New Mexico, and were never separated since. It torn Ben's heart when he had to leave her." Max replies with a sad little smile.

Alec was in total unbelievable shock. Here, he thought his brother, his own twin, was nothing but a cold blooded killer, but in all actuality he had been in love. And he lost it all, when for some strange unknown reason he could never return to the one he loved. Alec looked up at Max slowly with tears threaten to fall from his eyes unnoticed. "Max, what her name?" Not having to ask who he was talking about, she replied. "Liz Parker. Her name is Elizabeth Ann Parker."

IN ROSWELL

Liz was tired. She had been on her feet all day. Of all the seasons, she hated the tourist season the most. She was up and about from morning till closing. She wasn't going to work today originally, but they were short handed at the moment, so she had to. Her father thought she might be to depressed to work today, but she still had to. Not that it wasn't understandable why he thought that anyways, considering what today was.

It would be four years since he left her today, and three years since she found out he was died. But she couldn't think of that right now. No, she couldn't because upstairs in her room was Max. She had heard him sneaking in, though the window. She now had to pretend to be at least a little bit happy for him. Well at least till she got rid of him.

When she got to her room, she stopped died in her track. There on her bed was Max going through her trunk of Ben's things. She remembered putting of the things in that trunk, when he had not returned to her within a year. She had packed it all up, all of the things he had given her, the letters, the papers, the pictures, all of it, and put them into a beautiful carved trunk that Zack had made for her, and locked it all away and put it in her closet.

When Zack, Ben's cousin, arrived a year later and had told her that he was died, Liz had broken down and cried in his arms the whole day though. So every year since that day, to remember him, she would pull out that trunk on their anniversary and the anniversary of his death, and go through all the things in it. To remember all the good times that they had had together.

But now some one had invaded that private time and gone though those private things that he had no right to do. "Max! What the hell to you think you are doing?" Liz demanded indignantly. Max looked up from the paper that he was reading to stare into her eyes that once had held love but now only held tears and flames. " What the hell am I doing? What the hell am I doing?!?!?!? Well Liz, I came up here to wait for you. You know like a good boyfriend, but when I come up here all I see is this crap and garbage laying all over your bed!" He yells, pointing to all the letters and pictures.

"What the hell is all this crap Liz? Who the hell is that guy that is kissing you? Where is he now damn it ? I demand to know these things. I have a right to know if you haven't been true to me" He yells at her. "You demand? Excuse me??? You demand to know what all this stuff is? FINE! I'll tell you what all this stuff is. That "guy" that you demand to know about is called Ben. When we were nine he came to Roswell. He stayed with Maria and Alex till he could get an apartment. There are you happy now your majesty? OR do you want to know everything?" She yells right back at him.

"Okay, so all that tells me is nothing but his name and how you knew him. But who the hell is he and why is all this stuff of him here but he isn't here now?" Max asked a little bit softer but still as harsh. Not caring about Max or his feeling anymore she answered "Ben was my first and probably my only real true love. From the minute we had meet, we were inseparable. We told each other everything. We were in love. We were together for six years Max. Six wonderful years. We planned on getting married and moving in with his cousin Zack. After high school and before college. He planned to go into genetics, and was smart enough to go to Harvard at 14. Those pictures Max, those pictures that you hate so much, well they were taken by Zack. He had made copies for us so we could each have a box of memories. Then something happened, he had to leave Roswell with Zack. He didn't even bother to tell me, he" before Liz could continue, Max interrupted. "Wait a damn minute! Are you telling me that you were in love with this guy? Yeah right! He probably left you the minute he thought you were too much of a hassle for him. I bet he didn't even love you. If so, then where is he now huh? Probably with some other girl, that's were. Some one ten times better then you" Max taunted in her face.

Liz couldn't take it anymore. She slapped Max with everything she had in her. All the anger, and rage and bent up frustration from all the shit that Max had dealt her came out when he said those words.

"No you asshole. He's died. He died a year after he left Roswell. Okay! Are you finally happy now that you know that the one guy that could have take me away from you is died. Well guess what. I never knew what a jackass you could be. I don't think we should be together. Hell I don't think I should have ever gotten with you. You are nothing but a stubborn, self centered asshole, who needs to grow up. So get the hell out of my house before I call the cops." Liz yells at him. Without saying another word he leaves. The minute he was gone, Liz broke down crying.

*Ben, God I wish you were here.* With that thought, she picked up the phone and called someone she hadn't talked to in two years, Zack. Ring Ring Ring "Hello?" A voice on the other line answered. "Zack?? It's me Liz." she said though the tears. "Liz! What's wrong? You sound like you've been crying." he replied instantly awake. "That's because I have been." she answered softly. " Liz, what wrong? What do you need?" he asked gently afraid of the answer. "Do you think you can come down and stay for a while. Bring company if you want to, but this is just too hard for me now. I can't take it any more" She replied in heavy tear stained voice.

"Take what Liz?" Zack asked her, while thinking to himself *please don't say what I think you are going to say. Please I am begging you god. If you hear me, PLEASE answer my prayers and don't let her say she misses Ben to damn much.* He pleaded over and over again in his mind.

"I miss Ben to damn much Zack. Please come down, I really need to see you big brother." she said using the nickname she had started to call him not long before Johnny had been born. "Bring Max and that one dude that hangs with her a lot, Alex or Adam, what ever his name is, But please just come here soon." she pleaded over and over "Alec. His name is Alec. And of course I will Lizzy bear. I'll be there ASAP. Don't you worry." " Thank You Zack. I'll see you soon. okay.?" and with that they hang up the phone.

Zack's musing

*Damn it. I knew this would happen. Damn you Lydecker for coming to Roswell to visit Liz. You had to be just come and Fuck up her life and his didn't you. And Johnny. Poor little Johnny. Never really knowing his father. What about him? That it, you've gone to far. I'm coming Liz. Just you wait a few more days. And I'll bring your salvation with me. Its been to long since we've all been together.* Zack thought to himself.

Sighing to himself, Zack headed towards the phone to call Max, and make plans to come and rescue Liz, if it was the last thing he would ever do as the big brother she never had, and the uncle Johnny always needed.

************************************************************************
