You Always Hurt The Ones You Love

Chapter 2



"Hey," She said.



Well done Max. Great start. She thought lamely to herself. How can I ask him without him hiding behind his Manticore soldier mask?



"Hey Max," Alec responded with a lot more venom than intended.



Shit, what's the matter with you? He thought.So she's back with Logan, you don't care, remember? It's got nothing to do with you.



Whoa Max thought. What did I say?



"You alright?" She asked waiting for the almost certain remark of 'I'm always alright'.



"I'm always…" He paused at the roll of her eyes. "I'm fine, you know, long day. Everyone finding out we're transgenics. Getting shot. Fighting familiars that just don't want to die. Losing soldiers."



Having your heart broken in two... Hey what? He thought

.

"Yeah, I'm sorry about CeCe. I know you two went way back." Max said noticing the guilt and pain wash through his eyes at the sound of her name. Quickly masked as usually.



"Yeah," he sighed. "So I see you and Roller Boy are back together. Can't say I’m surprised. You just never learn do you Maxie?" He said with his cocky grin in place.



Best to have her angry than caring. Then I won't…won't what?



"What?" Max said shocked. "Me and Logan aren't back together and even if we were it would be none of your damn business."

She punched him full force in his injured shoulder. But noticing his wince instantly regretted it.



"Oh my god. Alec I'm so s…" She started.



"You know what Max? Forget it. Fuck you. I've had a fucking enough of this." He interrupted her before turning and walking into the Command Centre.



"Alec!" She shouted after him.



Shit why do I always hit him? Why can't he just not wind me up? She thought.



Oh come on Maxie. You know why I do it. A voice which sounded awfully like Alec's responded in her head.



Oh really Alec. Well I can't seem to figure it out. So why don't you enlighten me.



Why don't you just go ask me?



Yes why didn't she just.



Shit, shit, shit! Alec thought whilst marching through the Command Centre. Looks from the other Transgenics were being easily ignored. Why the fuck didn't you keep your mouth shut? You know Max, she'll either go defensive and attack you or try and get you to 'talk about it'. So what if she hit you, she always fucking hits you.



Yeah but this time you were injured and she knew that. A second voice answered.



Yeah but… Alec thought.



"You have to stop taking crap from her, Princess," Mole said from behind Alec.



Alec jumped but tried to hide it. After all you're not supposed to be able to sneak up on an X5, especially an alpha.



"What you going on about?" Alec asked acting casual.



"You know who. Little Miss, who's going to come marching through that door screaming your name, right…about...now." Mole answered.



"ALEC!" Max screamed walking into the Command Centre causing Luke and Dix to look up from their computers. "What the fuck? We're having a conversation and you just storm off?"



"What's wrong with doing that Max? You do it all the time. Besides I don't have to stand around whilst you abuse me." Alec replied more calmly than he felt.



Alec then noticed Logan smirking next to Dix, obviously enjoying what looked to him, like a lover's tiff.



"You know what Maxie baby." Alec said walking over to her. "Let's just forget the argument and go to bed. You can spare us for say an hour or so right?" Alec placed an arm around Max's waist and watched with pleasure as she squirmed.



Noticing she was about to resist, Alec leant over and whispered into Max's ear, "Now, now Maxie. Wouldn't want to prove little Logie right, now would we?"



Max only response was placing a hand on top of his, which was now placed on her ass, and pinching the skin between her nails.



Alec slowly led Max out of the Command Centre and into his office.



"Who'd a thought it? Pretty Boy and Miss Need-A-Lay," Mole smirked to himself.
