Chapter 9.

Max and Alec were standing in the middle of the hall, her arms were around his neck and his were locked securely around her waist. Max felt hot and dizzy as everything started spinning around, but the only person who was there with her was Alec. His lips were soft, his kiss tasted like sweet fruits, just like that chewing gum he was chewing. She moaned into his mouth as their tongues continued to battle with each other.

She didn't care if someone saw them like that, all the care was holding him and not letting go, because she feared that if she did, she'd realise that it's just her fantasy. They stood like that for another couple of minutes not letting go of each other, Alec bowed his head so the barcode was clearly visible to Max, she looked closely and ... 'what the?' Max whispered in horror. A familiar voice had interrupted Max.

"Boo... Max... wake up hunni"

Max opened her eyes, and realized that she was in her English classroom. She frowned. It was a dream after all, a really good dream, but she doubted if it ever came true.

"Wat's wrong boo?" Cindy asked with concern.

"I dono, I don't feel well I think I'm gonna go home..." Max mumbled.

"Yeah, that's what I thought cuz hon, you never sleep when you're well, so how bout you take a day off, relax and have a hot bubble bath. Huh?" Cindy asked as she put a hand on Max's shoulder, trying to comfort her boo. Max smiled in reply.

"I think I'll take your advice OC, but I'll see you after school, right?" Max asked in a soft voice.

"Fo'sure boo, and don't forget bout the party, I'll bet that you'll look slammin' We'll take plenty of photos to sent to your Roller boy." Cindy said, and straight away realised that it was a mistake to mention Logan, since Max didn't exactly know who she wanted to be with.

"Aiite boo, I gotta go, I'll see ya at home" OC said and almost ran off, before Max could say anything.

After Cindy left, Max was still standing in the middle of the same hall, where in her dream she was kissing Alec. She touched her lips with her finders, the dream just felt soo real. Max licked her lips, she could still taste him, but she knew that it was just her imagination.

(Max's, OC's and Alec's apartment.)

Max was still day dreaming, about her and Alec, she replayed that dream in her head over and over and over again, she wanted to find out what it was that frightened and even terrified her. But she just couldn't remember.

She walked into her room and fell on the bed. She turned her head to her right and saw the calendar, which was on July's page. She got up and walked towards it, and touched the little square in the middle of the page. Which was the 21st, today's date.

Suddenly everything became clear to her. The barcode in her dream wasn't 494's, but 493's. Ben's...

Max's chocolate brown eyes clouded over for a split second, her lips formed a frown, and her eyes started watering, it wasn't long until the tears were formed in the corners of her eyes.

It's been a year since she last saw Ben, a whole year has passed since that tragic day in the woods.

#Flashback#

BEN (gasping): Don't leave me here. Don't let them take me.

MAX: Ben, I can't carry you. We'll both get caught.

BEN: I know.

(He looks at her pointedly and her face falls.)

MAX: Ben, I can't.

BEN: Please. You know what they'll do to me. They'll put me down there with them...the Nomlies. Please.

(Max looks at him tearily while he silently begs her.)

#End of Flashback#

Max took a couple of steps back and sat down on the bed. She buried her face in the palms of her hands. Tears were rolling down her face. She shut her eyes for a split second before opening them as a fresh wave of misery swept through her.

#Flashback#

MAX: Tell me about the Good Place.

BEN (smiling): Where no one ever gets punished.

MAX: And no one gets yelled at.

BEN: And nobody disappears. And when you wake up in the morning, you can stay in bed as long as--

(Max snaps his neck. She softly drops his head to the ground, as the helicopters get nearer, and she begins to sob over his dead body.)

#End flashback#

Max got out of bed, and walked over to the window, It was now raining outside and she felt herself drowning in the raindrops, together with the painful memory of her brother who was killed by her own hands. A clap of thunder shook her away from the deep trance she was slowly falling into. She glanced outside again. The sky was almost black, like it was a midnight and a bolt of lightning flashed in the sky, leaving a trace of light. She never felt soo lonely before in her life.

'Well at least he was safe now' was all that Max could think of.

She walked out of the room and went to the kitchen to drink some coffee. But whatever she did, she kept getting the same flashback.

Max took the mug of coffee and walked in to the lounge room and sat down on the sofa. She felt like she was going crazy.

She sat still on the sofa for hours, until she heard the door open and someone walk in. But Max didn't care she kept staring at the brownish liquid inside her mug.

"Boo, what's going on? Are you ok?" Cindy asked her voice was filled with concern, but Max didn't answer her questions. She ignored them, because she didn't want to tell Cindy the truth, because she wouldn't understand.

"Boo, you can talk to me, I'm here for you." Cindy said as she took a sit on the sofa in front of Max.

"I would Cindy, but you wouldn't understand." Max whispered, her voice was shaky and uncertain.

"Give me the cliff notes version" was Cindy's short reply.

"A year ago...there was a serial killer on the loose, I went to stop him, only to find that it was my Manticore brother...Ben" She softly whispered his name. His name brought back the tears in her eyes.

"We were in the woods, and Manticore was closing in on us... he was scared... he didn't want to go back, because they'd torture him, and make him wish that he never escaped."

"I killed him" Max whispered, and started sobbing, when Cindy hugged Max by the shoulders.

"He asked me to, so I did, and I left his body there for them to take away and rip to pieces."

"He was the only one who made us all feel loved when we were at Manticore, and I loved him too. Since then his face was haunting me." Max said as she wiped the tears off her face.

"Max, it wasn't your fault, you tried to help but you couldn't, and I'm sure that he knows that you love him." Cindy said with a sad smile forming on her lips. But Max shook her head in protest.

"That's the thing I loved him more than just a brother, and loosing him hurt twice as much, but then I met Alec at Manticore, he was assigned as my breeding partner. At first I thought that I was seeing things, but when I realised that it really was a guy with Ben's face, Ben's twin, I felt like I was given a second chance." Max said and paused for a second to take a deep breath, because she was choking on her tears, and then she carried on.

"When I took the Manticore down, and saw Alec in Seattle, I decided to keep distance from him, pretend to hate him even. I thought that maybe some day, he'll leave because of my bitchiness towards him, but he didn't. He never left my side, he was there when I needed him the most." Max let out a small sigh.

"He's totally different from Ben, Alec's funny, sarcastic, but is also caring... and I guess that's why I love him so much..." Max was speaking, and Cindy was there for Max's moral support, she knew that soldier or not, she still had feelings and that she had to talk about her problems, not keep them bottled up inside her.

"I just wish that Alec knew that I care and love him, but he propably thinks that I hate him and also that I used him the other night and now he's staying away because he propably thinks that I would regret it, but the fact is that I don't, and just wished he knew that" Max's last words were almost unable to hear, because she broke down in tears again.

"I care about you too, Maxie" Came the voice from the kitchen. As Alec stepped out of the shadows and reviled himself. He was standing there the whole time, listening to Max's confessions.

He walked towards Max, and crouched in front of her.

"Maxie, I would never hate you, ever." Alec whispered as he wiped the tear off her cheek.

"I love you Alec" Max whispered in Alec's ear as she put her arms around his neck and hugged him tight.

"I love you too, Maxie" Came Alec's reply. But now Max knew that this was happening for real this time. He really did mean it.
