Author's Note: I wrote this for a school project and then turned it in a rpg, but it hasn't been started yet. It's basically a love triangle with Alec, Max, and Lana hope you enjoy!
Chapter One: Walk Away
After Freak Nation Max decided it was fate telling her that Logan and she weren’t meant to be. Max had a hard time letting go, but Alec was there to help her along the way. Alec thought it was a smart move on Max’s part he never thought transgenics and ordinaries belong together anyways.
Alec and Max became very close and their feelings soon became inevitable to fight. They stopped fighting each other long enough to realize they needed each other. Max and Alec dated for a year until they had reached a low point where things were just getting too intense between the two.
One day Max decided to go to the Space Needle she needed time to think about Alec and her. What were becoming of them? When Max was finished she headed to Crash to meet O.C. Alec saw her walking along and approached her questioning, “Where have you been?”
Max answered, “At the Space Needle.”
Alec puzzled, “What were you doing there?”
Max threw him a ‘duh look’ and stated, “Why else do I go there? I needed some time to think.”
Alec remarked, “Or maybe you needed some time to ignore me.”
Max shook her head at him and began to walk away and mumbled, “Not now Alec.”
Alec then grabbed her arm and Max quickly reacted and slammed him into the car behind him. She was full of rage and anger as she held him in her grips. Then Max stopped mid track realizing what she had done. She pulled back trying to calm herself down and in slight fear that she had done what she just did. Alec then got really upset and full of rage he stood up and shoved Max back forcefully, and then walked away from her.
Max went back to her apartment right after that and tried to collect her thoughts. Max was almost sure that Alec would be there waiting for her. Like he always was when they would have a little quarrel, but then again this wasn’t a little quarrel. Alec unfortunately wasn’t there which sucked because Max wanted him to be there. Max pulled out her cell phone which Alec had gotten her and tried calling him.
Somewhere across town Alec is walking the darken streets trying to calm himself down. He hears his cell ring he grabs it and looks at the caller I. D. He stops mid tracks and looks at the phone the anger boils over him still and he takes the phone and throws it at a nearby wall.
A couple days had passed and neither Max nor Alec has talked to one another; until that day when Alec stopped by Max’s apartment to check on her. Max returned to her apartment surprised to see Alec sitting on the couch. Alec asked, “Where have you been?”
Max said, “Nice to see you too.”
Alec remarked, “Sorry honey it’s great to see you.”
Max replied, “Wow that felt so heart warming.”
Alec stated, “I went by work and you weren’t there, so where were you?”
Max questioned, “What were you checking up on me?”
Alec responded, “I actually came to talk to my girlfriend who I hadn’t seen in two days.”
Max muttered, “And whose fault is that.”
Alec raised an eyebrow and puzzled, “So where were you? Because Normal told me you called in sick, but you don’t look so sick to me?”
Max said, “I was doing an errand for Eye’s Only.”
Alec laughed, “So we have a fight and you run to Logan. That is just great Max.”
Max spoke, “I was doing something for Eye’s Only.”
Alec replied, “Correct me if I’m wrong, but you and Logan have barely said three words to each other since you and I have gotten together, and now you’re running errands for him? Maybe you can see why I am a little skeptical of that.”
Max asked, “What do you want from me?”
Alec answered, “The truth for starters.”
Max remarked, “There is nothing going on between Logan and me.”
Alec questioned, “Then why not just tell me the truth from the beginning?” Max didn’t say anything “Don’t you see it Max we are back where we started. We are drifting apart.”
Max puzzled, “So what exactly are you getting at Alec?”
Alec answered, “Max I have been trying to stick in there for months now, but Max can you honestly tell me it’s getting better.”
Max asked, “So that’s it, it’s over?”
Alec stated, “No that’s not it.” Max looked at him as he stood up from the couch. “I think we need some time away from each other than just breaking up. We need not to see one another at all.”
Max shook her head and remarked, “You’re right we are back where we started because the old Alec would run away too.”
Alec replied, “See that right there is why I need to be away from you.”
Max questioned, “Don’t you know this plan of yours will never work? We work together Alec. We will still run into each other at TC or Crash I will always be around.”
Alec looked at her once more with his face soften then walked passed her. As his arm brushed against hers he whispered, “Goodbye Maxie.”
Alec went back to his apartment and thought a lot what Max had said. She was right no matter where he went the possibility of her being there would always be hanging over him. If he really wanted to move on with his life there was only one thing to do.
Alec packed a duffel bag and strapped onto his bike. Alec drove by Max’s apartment and stopped to look once more at her window to catch one last glance of her. Then he started up his bike and left Seattle for good.
