Wow! I really SUCK! ... I'm not going to make up some lame excuse or lie about 'family problems', I was just a mixture of lazy and bored... But when i did have that problem awhile ago and didn't update in forever, that was true... But I'm back and I'm SORRY! If you want to kill me my address is *]^}%|€_|{^{~#]*]%}|*]... Lol jk, you didn't really think I'd put my address out there with at least 20 people who want to kill me, didya? Lol anyway here we go...

"Home? This is not home... Not even close! I live in a mansion! I live a much better life than you could ever live!" she decided that she wouldn't give him the satisfaction and be afraid... Even If it killed her... Oh god, she hoped he wouldn't kill her. The man grew beet red and raised his hand. She closed her eyes, it was an involuntary reaction! Then she immediately threw him a glare. He responded by throwing her the hardest smack in the face anyone had ever received. "I live with an abusive boyfriend!" she lied. "you're going to have to do waaaayyy better than that!"

"Oh don't worry, I intend to!" The man said. Just his voice made Maggie shudder out of fear and hatred. He kneeled down to where Maggie was sitting, arms lifted above her head, hands tied to the table. "If you want to live a full life, you'll do as I say!" Maggie took notice he didn't say 'a full and HAPPY life', she just frowned at him and he immediately connected his mouth with hers. She fount back as best she could, making sure not to open her mouth. She turned her head side to side and spat in his face. "you stupid bi -" he stopped himself. Instead he said 'get ready for tonight' and walked over to a little refrigerator which was about 6 feet away from the table. That was the only sign of 'good' here. He opened it. "Every week you will get four raw hamburger patties and a bottle of tap water." This was something Maggie was NOT used to. She was used to fine chocolate cake and lobster and smoked ham and potatoes, beans, bread, stew and milk prepared by Niles, but she didn't tell him that. She gave him an 'are you serious?' looked and rolled her eyes and looked away, which made him even angrier. He took a raw hamburger patty and smushed it in her face. 'Make that three' he said, leaving the room. Maggie waited until he left and cried.

Meanwhile

Present Maxwell looked at past Maxwell in complete confusion. "...hi" he said after 2 minutes of silence. "I can't believe it!"

"Phenominal!" Past Maxwell declared.

"I actually have a long lost twin brother..."

"I can't believe my mother didn't tell me after all these years! Did they put you up for adoption?"

"...No... I figured they had put YOU up for adoption."

"How... Odd. Is it possible that we were both put up for adoption?"

"Possibly..." present Max stated. "So tell me about you..." he ordered, sitting on the couch.

"well my childhood was horrible, my dad cheated on my mom with his secretary... But we were rich! Ummm... I got a job as a broadway producer, And then I married a gorgeous woman named Sara and I love her DEARLY! And I have 3 children, Brighton, Maggie, and Gracie... I have a butler named Niles who was my best friend growing up!"

Present Max stared at him for a minute before busting out in laughter. He figured past max must be joking.

Suddenly, Sara walked in the door. "Max!" she walked through the door, purse in hand, not noticing the Max duplicate. "I went to visit that Fran lady and she told me I was going to die!"

"SARA!" Present Max screamed with excitement running up to hug her.

"You know my wife?" past Max asked, getting a little jealous.

"She's not YOUR wife, man, she's mine!" Max said holding her and leaning in for a kiss. Sara shrieked and pushed the older Max off of her.

"That's funny but actually she's MY w-" past Max started.

"What's going on darling?" Sara asked, confusion filling her face. Both Max's simultaneously told her that they had no idea, and they looked at each other, growing kind of annoyed.

"This is a miracle!" Niles said, coming down the stairs. He had been snooping, again.

"Oh my darling, it's so wonderful to see you alive and happy again!" present Max said, kissing her neck.

"Oh God, so it IS true. Alive again... I'm going to die like Fran said!" she broke down and started to sob and pushed present Max away. Present Max wanted her to be in his arms again. She looked up. "Why are there two of you?" she asked between sobs.

"Allow me to introduce my long lost twin brother!" Past Max said proudly.

She looked at them in complete confusion for a second, her face growing redder by the minute because of the tears that were flooding down her face. She then returned to her sobbing bit. "I'm not ready to die!"

"That Fran person is probably delusional, darling! There are no such things as fortune tellers!" Past Max sat by her, comforting her .

"SHE'S A TIME TRAVELER!" she cried. "And I believe her..."

"I think we need to get you to a therapist or a doctor or something..." Past Max decided, helping her up.

"I don't need a doctor," Sara yelled, fighting past Max off herself. "I need to never leave this house again! I need to... I need to... I need to not DIE! Why won't you believe me, baby?"

"I won't let that happen again, darling, I'll jump in front of that car MYSELF and... FRAN? Where is she?" Present Max asked.

"Umm... I dropped her off at that obnoxious woman's house!" Sara said.

"Sylvia!" Max had every intention if letting Sara go, but couldn't for the life of him. "I can't wait to have my past wife meet my modern wife! Let's go!" Max was able to get Sara into the passenger seat and him in the drivers seat and he drove away, leaving past Max there in complete and utter confusion. Max couldn't stop talking the entire time, he didn't even think to ask why she was alive. Nothing clicked. He didn't think about who he was going to choose - Sara or Fran...

As he was driving to Sylvia's, he saw a bruised Gracie walking on the side of the road. He did 't believe it at first, but when she was jumping up and down trying to get his attention he knew. She ran to the car and Max didn't even pay attention to her tear stained face. "Sara, allow me to introduce you to the young woman Grace has grown up to be!"

"That's not Grace..." everyone had mixed feelings... Excitement, confusion, fear... Grace looked at her mother for the first time since she was two.

"That's not mom!" Grace said, it wasn't logical! She didn't believe it. She believed everything else hat happened today, the empty times square, getting sucked into a parallel universe, being kidnapped, but not this. This was too much, and she didn't want to be hurt and then realize it wasn't true and this was all one big illusion or it was a dream or it was true but wasn't her… She looked like her mother, from the pictures... But there was no way. Her father had just made a mistake, and picked up a Sara look alike, since it was about the time of year that her mother had passed. Only one thing was on her mind right now, anyway. "Maggie is in trouble!"

Did this chapter end too fast? I think it did. Who do your think Max will end up with?
