Chapter 8: I'm Alright

Unlike everyone thought, Max didn't go to find Logan. She went back to OC's place, where they'd lived together once. After OC helped her bring her stuff in she made them some coffee and sat down beside Max. "Boo, what's going on?"

"He told me to leave." Max whimpered as the tears started flowing. She'd tried not to cry, she didn't want to cry.

"What do you mean? You guys got into a fight." OC questioned, she couldn't bring herself to believe Alec actually asked Max to leave.

"He showed up, said he was taking back his position..." Max stopped and tried to breathe, "He said he wanted me to leave TC and that I had 15 minutes to do it." OC pulled her into a tight hug and was completely speechless.

What the hell had happened? A thought came to her, "Did he find out?" OC spoke quietly. Max just stared up at her with fear in her eyes. She'd never thought about it, what if someone had told him.

OC stayed with Max until she fell asleep, she covered her with a blanket and headed to bed as well. She didn't know what they'd do the next day but she was sure that she'd need all the rest she could get.

Max slept peacefully dreaming of Alec, all those times they'd had fun together and that night that they had. It wasn't the best of nights but he'd still give some part of himself to her. Without even waking up her mind made it's self-up, she wanted Alec in all senses of the word.

Mole had gone and told him when Max had left and turned around himself without saying anything to his leader. Something wasn't right. Even he knew that. He decided to wait before speaking his mind, Alec needed time to cool down.

The next day Alec opened his office door and asked Mole to send Lynne to see him. He remembered how the young X5 had thrown herself at him and offered to be of service at any time. That sounded like an amazing idea at the moment.

When she walked in he almost sent her back out, this was wrong how he was about to use her. He knew it, somehow it wasn't a strong principal because he didn't send her away. "I remember you offering some services a while back." Alec said not getting up from his chair. He signaled her to come over, once she was standing in front of him, he started unbuckling his belt. "You still up for it?"

He got his reply when she dropped down to her knees. It wasn't long before he felt the effects her mouth were having on him. It wasn't long before he was temporarily forgetting Max. "That's it... just like that... ahhh." Alec's head snapped up as his door swung open.

"Holy shit." Sketchy yelled turning around and closing the door. Lynne released Alec's member and stood up as he placed himself back into his pants. When Lynne walked out Sketchy looked inside. "I'm sorry man, I didn't know. You said to pick you up at this time."

Looking at the clock hanging on his right wall Alec sighed. He'd forgotten about that, he and Sketch were going to Crash for some serious downtime. "It's alright, lets just get going." Alec readjusted himself in his pants and followed Sketch out.

"Come on, where going out and having a few drinks. There's no ifs, ands, or but that I want to hear from your mouth." OC ordered putting her coat on. She wasn't about to let her best friend mope around because Alec had kicked her out. Sure, she understood, it was a bummer. She also knew that one day all things would be alright.

"I wasn't going to say that." Max defended herself getting up of the couch. "I'm actually in the mood for some drinks and dancing." That was a total lie, but she knew OC was doing her best to change her soar mood.

When they arrived at Crash, it was as if someone was telling her she shouldn't be there. The first person she saw coming down the stairs was Alec. He was at the pool table with Sketchy in the back and they seemed to be having lots of fun. Especially Alec who was being flirted with my two blonds.

"I think this isn't..." Max had started but when OC turned and looked at her, she stopped.

"Do not pay any attention to that fool. Let him have his fun and we shall do the same." OC grabbed her hand and pulled her the rest of the way to table far from Alec and Sketchy. Yet Max couldn't help but feel this guilt that everything was happening because of her. If she hadn't forced Alec to sleep with her he'd never have gone on that mission. He'd never have gotten kidnapped. He'd never have lost his memory. He wouldn't hate her right now. He wouldn't die a little more when he found out they were suppose to have a child together. He wouldn't hate her more knowing she'd lost it. His baby, his baby girl. She wished none of this had happened she wished she'd told him how she felt. Felt the same as him, she loved him. She loved him but it was too late. She laughed at herself because normally in a situation like this she'd run to him. Run to him and he'd fix whatever he problem was without hesitating, without asking for anything in return. She needed him.

I can't ask for things to be still again

No, I can't ask for you to offer the world through your eyes

Longing for home again, but home is feeling I buried in you

I'm alright, I'm alright

It only hurts when I breathe

I'm alright, I'm alright

It only hurts when I breathe
