Pairing: M/B (at the moment)
Summary: After Max and Logan break up, Biggs and Max start to go out. But is Alec unhappy?
Chapter One
Logan's Penthouse
Logan was sitting in front of his computer. He was surprised to find that Max was standing less then ten feet away from him. Her hair was dripping and her clothes were soaked; he hadn't realized how bad it was actually raining until he saw her. She didn't look the least bit happy to see him, and for some reason he had a feeling that it wasn't because of the rain.
"Hey Max," he said quietly.
"We have to talk," she said without moving in the least.
"About what?"
"About us."
"Look Max, I know things don't look good for us now, but. . ."
"It's over Logan."
Logan stared back at her blankly.
"Max, you don't mean it. . ."
"I do this time. There's nothing left for us Logan - nothing. It's not worth it anymore. We have to move on with our lives." He hadn't changed his expression at all. He was absolutely speechless. He saw that this wasn't helping Max's mood, but he couldn't help it. As much as he hated to say it, she was serious this time.
"I have to go," she said turning to leave.
"Goodbye Max."
"Goodbye Logan."

Alec's Apartment
Biggs grabbed two more beers from the refrigerator. He plopped down on the couch next to Alec and handed him one beer and kept one for himself. Alec was flipping through the channels and finally found one that he wanted to watch.
"What the hell is this?"
"I think it's called The Simpsons."
"Is it any good?" Biggs asked watching Homer strangle Bart.
Alec chuckled before answering, "Yeah, it's great."
"Wanna play cards?"
"Yeah, I'll go get 'em."

1 Hour Later
"I'm bored" Biggs said, folding for the fifth time straight.
"You're only bored because you're losing. If you weren't you'd be SO happy."
"I think I'm gonna head back to TC. You coming?"
"Nah, I'm just gonna hang out here."
"See you later Alec." Biggs got his coat and left. Alec got up and cleared the table. He took the beer bottles and threw them out before sitting down on the couch again. He closed his eyes. He tried to fall asleep before he heard the door opening.
"I thought you said you were going to Terminal City."
"I thought you said you were going to Crash."
Alec got up abruptly when he realized that it was Max.
"What are you doing here?"
"Since when is it a crime to visit a friend?"
"Cut the crap, what do you want?"
"Somebody's not in a good mood," she said looking in his cabinets for something to eat.
"What did you come over for?"
"I wanted to tell you something."
"Well, what is it?"
"I," she stared back at him. She couldn't tell him. Not yet.
"You what?"
"I broke up with Logan."
"How long this time?"
"For good this time."
"You said that last time."
"It's the truth this time."
"Whatever you say Max, whatever you say."
"Shut up."
Alec backed up defensively. He didn't really want to fight with her today. "Why did you tell me?"
"You were going to find out eventually, so why not tell you now?"
"I guess so. . ." He thought there was more to that, but didn't bother trying to get it out of her. He was too tired to deal with her bitchy ways. She stayed for awhile and left after Alec almost fell asleep while watching television. He decided to retire to his bed before he fell asleep again.

The Next Morning at Jam Pony
Alec strolled in Jam Pony and went to talk to Biggs.
"What's up Alec?"
"Max broke up with Logan."
"Again?"
"She says it serious this time." Alec walked over to his locker and Biggs followed.
"Maybe it is true...how do you know?"
"She came to my apartment last night and told me." Biggs face lit up. Alec looked at him puzzled. "What's the big deal?"
"She didn't just break up with the guy for the hell of it."
"What are you getting at?"
"Max broke up with him for you."
"Sure she did."
"I'm dead serious, Alec. The girl wants you."
"As much as I would like that, I know that she's not interested."
Max walked into Jam Pony and went to talk with Original Cindy. Alec closed his locker and faced Biggs.
"Well then, why don't you go ask her out?"
"Why would I do that?"
"To prove why she broke up with Logan."
"Fine, I'll go do it." Biggs walked over to Max and Original Cindy. Alec followed.
"Hey Max. Where did Original Cindy go?"
"She went to deliver a package. What do you need?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me."
"Sure."
Both Alec and Biggs and Alec were shocked by her answer. They stood there silently.
"So I'll meet you at Crash tonight?"
Biggs nodded his head and Max walked over to Normal to get a package. Alec slapped Biggs shoulder and said, "I guess you were wrong."
