Chapter 2- The Date

Once again, I don't own General Hospital or the characters used in this story. And sorry it took so long to update!

Maxie sat alone at a table at the Pizza Shack. She was waiting for Jesse to show, but he did still have five minutes before it was actually seven. She was fiddling with a beaded bracelet that hung loose off of her wrist, not knowing she was doing so. She saw Diego and Dillon walking towards her, so she stood with a smile as they stopped in front of her.

"Hey Maxie." Dillon said with a smile. "Where's Georgie?"

"Over there." She said pointing to her sister serving a young couple pizza.

"Why were you sitting alone?" Diego asked, watching Dillon make his way over to Georgie.

"I'm waiting for Jesse; he is supposed to meet me here at seven." She explained exhaling as she pushed a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. Diego looked at his watch, pulling the sleeve of his leather jacket up to see the face.

"Well, he's got three minutes." He said looking back at her. She sighed, noticing a familiar song playing. She grabbed both sides of his jacket and pulled him over to dance.

"Wanna dance?" She asked, even though they were already doing so.

"Sure." He said with a one sided smirk.

Not even a minute into dancing, Maxie saw Jesse walk into the area. She could see he seemed a bit hurt that she was dancing with another guy, so she quickly pulled away from Diego and made her way to him with a smile.

"There you are." She said placing a light kiss on his lips.

"Sorry I cut it so close." He said kissing her again.

"That's okay; I'll go give Georgie our order." She said turning and heading to her sister. Jesse sat at the table, Dillon looked over at him and Jesse gave him a small nod. Maxie headed back over, coming behind him and wrapping her arms around his neck. She placed a kiss on his cheek.

"How about a dance?" She asked, whispering into his ear and pulling her arms back to her sides. He smiled, turned towards her and stood. She grabbed his hands, giving him another kiss, and then released his hands to wrap them around his waist. They danced as she hugged him, resting her head on his chest.

After four songs of dancing, Georgie placed a pizza and two drinks onto the table. The two of them headed to the table, sitting across from each other. They ate as they talked about Mac, cops, and any other subject that just happened to pop up. When they finished eating, they stepped out onto the "dance floor" for another dance.

Meanwhile a mysterious gloved figure stopped next to Jesse and Maxie's table, slipping a small white tablet into Maxie's drink. The gloved hand swirled the straw around, watching the tablet slowly dissolve. The figure turned, slipping their hands into a long black jacket and walking away.

Maxie let go of Jesse's waist. "I'll be right back." She said leaving him standing alone as she took a sip of her drink. She quickly ran back to Jesse with a smile that he returned in an instant. They began to dance to a faster song as Jesse's phone rang. Maxie let out a frustrated sigh, rolling her eyes. Jesse gave her an apologetic look and walked over a bit past their table. Maxie looked around, spotting Dillon talking to Diego. She made her way over to him. "Dillon lets dance." She said grabbing his hand and pulling him out to dance. She put to her forehead and blinked a few times. Everything was blurry, her head spinning. She tried to shake it off, feeling very light headed.

"Maxie, you okay?" He asked taking a step back and grabbing a hold of her arm.

"Yeah, I'm…" Before she finished, she fell to the ground in Dillon's arms.

"Someone call 911." Dillon yelled looking down at Maxie. Jesse quickly turned around to see Maxie on the ground. He ended his call and dialed 911. A woman answered, "911 are you in need of emergency assistance?"

"Yes, this is Detective Beaudry. I need an ambulance now."

"Alright, where are you?" The voice asked.

"The Pizza Shack in Port Charles at 423 Main Street."

"Emergency assistance is on the way." Jesse ended the call and squatted down next to Dillon.

"What Happened?"

"I don't know, we were going to dance and she passed out." Dillon said as Georgie rushed over.

"Maxie!" She said leaning over her sister.

"Do you think it's her heart?" Jesse asked looking at Georgie.

"I don't know." She said, obviously panicked. Diego watched as the three of them hovered over Maxie. The sirens of the ambulance could be heard. Jesse stood.

"I'll go flag them down." He said hurrying away.

"Come on Maxie, wake up." Georgie whispered. Dillon's heart was breaking watching his girlfriend cry. Jesse ran in as paramedics followed with a streture. He watched them lift Maxie onto the streture; he moved over to her and gently stroked her cheek. One of the paramedics walked over to Jesse, "Detective Beaudry, we need to go." He said as Jesse straightened his back and put his head down.

"Take care of her… the best of your ability." He said looking up at the man.

"We will." He said wheeling her off with another paramedic as Georgie followed behind. Dillon walked up behind him and laid a hand on his shoulder.

"You okay?" He asked clearly concerned.

"As long as she is." Jesse stated heading to his car.

So, that's the second chapter. I know things are going to be totally different than I wrote, but I really wanted Jexie to be out on a date. I hope you liked it and I will start writing the next chapter soon. Bye guys, and thanks for reading.
