chapter 4
Crash (that night)
Max walked into crash surprised at home crowded it was for a Thursday night. She avoided crash on Thursdays because of the karaoke night they hosted and her not being a karaoke kind of girl stayed away. Looking around at all the people, she saw it full of jam pony employees, hearing Alec's laughter she turned her head sharply towards him seeing him surrounded by a group of girls all throwing themselves at him.
Pushing herself through the people she found her way to OC
"What's going on? Why are all these people here? Why did you tell me to come?" she asked throwing questions at her. It had hurt seeing Alec with all those girls that she wanted to run away from everyone and hide in her bedroom.
OC looked at her sadly "It's a leaving party boo" she informed her.
"What? Who's leaving?" Max asked. OC not knowing what to say decided with the truth "Alec"
Max shocked speechless just stared, jaw hanging open. After a few moments she regained her ability to speak and asked quietly "What…Alec…are you sure?" OC just nodded sadly.
"Why's he leaving?" Max asked her
"Dunno sugah, I haven't had the chance to talk to him yet, ever since he got here he's been surrounded by those females. Max turned around to look at him but he still hadn't noticed her, or if he had was covering it up exceptionally.
She heard the DJ request people to come on stage and sing, that she had a thought. She jumped from her seat with a determined look shocking OC.
"Boo what's up! What are you doing!" OC exclaimed
"I'm going to sing"
"What! Why!" OC asked incredulously, this was very strange behavior and very unlike Max.
"Because it's the only way I can express the way I feel and get him to notice me" she answered walking away before OC could stop her. She needed to do this, it was the only way.
OC watched her walk towards the stage in disbelief, and was stunned speechless. If someone had told her that morning that Max was gonna go on stage and sing, she would have laughed herself silly, but there she was talking to the DJ and telling him the song she wanted to sing.
"Damn, Max has it bad, it's about time too! Let's just hope this works" she said to herself crossing her fingers. She liked Alec, he was a great guy and he understood Max better than Logan ever had. For Logan, Max was just someone to do his leg work for him. He took her for granted, knowing she'd always be there. Alec was different- he appreciated and looked up to Max- even though he never admitted it. OC smiled to herself, wishing her boo luck deep inside.
Max stood on the stage and looked around. Alec still hadn't noticed her but a few other guys had. Some whistling, others clapping politely, waiting for her to start.
"This is for you Alec! She said into the mic.
Alec stiffened, hearing Max's voice and his name; he looked up towards the stage where her voice had come from. Shocked he stared at her 'shit!- what the hell is she doing?' he asked himself 'please don't say she's gonna embarrass me in front of everyone- fuck I need to leave'. He told his body to move but his legs refused to respond, so he stood there rooted at that spot and waited.
The beat for the song came on and Max started to sing
'You tell me you're in love with me
Like you can't take your pretty eyes away from me
It's not that I don't want to stay
But every time you come too close I move away'
Once she opened her mouth and began to sing the first verse, Alec's mind began to spin - what is she saying?
'I wanna believe in everything you say
'Cause it sounds so good
But if you really want me, move slow
There's things about me you just have to know'
'Sometimes I run
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right, be with you day and night
Baby all I need is time'
Oh my god – does she want me- I'm confused
"I don't wanna be so shy uh oh
Every time that I'm alone I wonder why
Hope that you will wait for me
But you'll see that you're the only one for me"
Alec's breath got caught; a lump formed in his throat- 'she does want me- but- what about Logan?'
"I wanna believe in everything that you say
'Cause it sounds so good
But if you really want me, move slow
There's things about me you just have to know"
"Sometimes I run
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right, be with you day and night
Baby all I need is time"
"Just hang around and you'll see
There's nowhere I'd rather be"
Max got off the stage and walked towards him holding his gaze
"If you love me, trust in me
The way that I trust in you"
Abandoning the song, she stood in front of him, looking into his eyes, oblivious to all the people around them
"I love you Alec, I'm sorry, please don't leave"
Alec closed his eyes breaking the eye contact "Max-"he started
But he was interrupted by the voice in his head 'what the hell are you doing man- this is what we want- this is what you've dreamt of her saying to you- what's your deal fool'
Pushing the voice away he asked the painful question he really needed to know
"What about Logan?"
"Logan, who? I want you!" she replied grabbing his leather jacket and kissing him passionately.
"Only you!" she said in between kisses, wrapping her arms around his neck while his arms went around her waist holding each other tightly, afraid of loosing the moment.
Totally unaware of the cheering crowd around them, and OC, smiling and laughing through her tears of joy.
