Tears may Fall

Summary: The end.
When he woke he wasn't alone. Not that that wasn't weird, girls often spent the night. No, what was weird was that he wasn't naked and neither was she.
All he could remember from last night was the tears. The ordinaries had attacked, planning to drop bombs on all of Seattle. The bombs were supposed to attack a gene in the Transgenic's DNA, one the humans didn't have.
'Of course it didn't work' he smirked. The ordinaries were so stupid sometimes, forgetting that not only did the Transgenics know about the bomb, it had been used on rogues before, but they knew how to counteract it…. Thanks to Max.
White was in charge of the bomb, it had been his idea. And of course that meant that the bomb was going to kill the ordinaries as well. The gene which was supposed to be targeted was forgotten, inside the bomb was targeted to kill anyone without a gene, namely the gene which made the snakes-blood harmless.
'Thank god for Max' he thought. They had finally decoded the runes. They were from Renfro, telling the transgenics of the Familiars plan. She had given them the cure, in Max's blood, naturally.
He smirked, it was quite ironic. Max kept kicking his ass about preventing her from getting the cure to that damn virus, the damn virus which ended up saying all the transgenics and some of the ordinaries lives.
'Speaking of ordinaries…' he thought. Only one didn't survive, well one that wasn't cared for… not that he cared, but Max did.
Logan, poor old Logan. The cure wouldn't work for him, either it would kill him or the bomb would. Max had begged him to leave, but he wouldn't. 'I guess the idiot really loved her.' At that thought he turned to the girl lying beside him tear stains still covering her face. She had arrived late last night, tears streaming down her face. She took one look at him and threw herself in his arms.
'I killed him, Renfro was right, I kill everyone I love, they all leave me,' She continued whispering for hours shaking as she cried.
'Hush Maxie, it was his choice, no one could have done anything'
'But I killed him'
'It's going to be alright'
'Can I stay here tonight please?'
'Course Maxie'
She curled up by his side and fell asleep immediately.
'I wont leave, Maxie, love you' he kissed her cheek and feel asleep as well.
When Max awoke, all she could remember was tears… and Alec. He had really helped her last night after Logan…. 'oh god, he's dead'. He really was a true friend, 'even after everything I did to him. God, I'm a bitch'.
The door to the room swung open, and Alec walked in. 'Thought you might be hungry after last night'. Tears swelled in her eyes as she thought about Logan. 'Hush, Maxie it's going to be alright'. He wrapped his arms around her and let her cry.
'Thank you for last night and this morning, I really didn't want to be alone.'
'Don't worry about it'
'Anyway, I had better go, someone will be looking for me'
'Sure'
'Cya' She grabbed the jacket and walked to the door. As she opened it, she turned back to him.
'I know you wont leave. Maybe now's too soon, but later…' she gave him a wink and left.
Alec stared at the door in shock.
