| Chapter 20: Sarah Webber wrapped her jean jacket tighter around her to block out the cold. The wind whipped through her blonde hair and overhead the clouds moved swiftly. "Watch out!" She glanced up to see a kid whizzing by her on his skateboard. Sarah stepped out of the way, trying to avoid the daredevil. Soon, the kid was off in the distance. Sarah started walking along the sidewalk once again. Her face determined and full of purpose. Finally she came to her destination. She walked among the rocks and past some of the trees, remembering what this place was like when her grandfather had taken her when she was younger. Although it was now in ruins and there was no sign of there ever being a church, Sarah still felt happiness there because she remembered it. She remembered her grandfather taken her there, and she remembered Nikolas Cassadine. She could picture Nikolas. It was all so clear. Every single feature was so vivid. Sarah pushed the image away and continued to step over rocks to get to the small clearing. The trees parted and Sarah stepped down from a rock. Surprisingly enough, there was another person already there. Someone with dark brown hair. That's odd, she thought. There are only two other people who know about this place- And then it hit her. Sarah knew exactly who this other person was. "Nikolas?" "How is she?" Lucky asked. Dr. Sommers smiled. "She'll be okay, Lucky." She looked at the adults. "Her fever went down. We're going to keep her in the hospital for a few more days, and if it doesn't rise, she can go home by the end of the week." They all sighed in relief. "Can we see her?" Carly asked. Dr. Sommers nodded. "Go right in. I'm sure that she'd be glad to see you." Jason leaned in and whispered something to Carly, who nodded and turned to Monica. "We're going to come back later", she said. The two said their goodbyes and left. Mark gazed after the Quartermaine family as they went into Emily's hospital room. I'll be back, Emily, he silently promised her. He turned on his crutches and walked off down the hallway. Elizabeth Webber turned around to see Lucky standing alone by the wall, watching as the family crowded into the room. She walked up beside him and leaned against the wall. "You're not going in there?" She looked over at Lucky. He shook his head. "Why not?" "I don't know. I guess I'm just scared." "Of what, Lucky?" "I don't want to lose her, Liz. She's my best friend. I don't want to lose that." "Don't you think that she's just as scared? Isn't that what this fight is about?" Lucky looked at her. "When did you get so wise?" Elizabeth laughed. "So, are you going to talk to her?" "Yeah." Lucky looked through the window at the Q's who were crowding around Emily's bed. He thought, and I'm going to tell her how much I need her, and how much I miss my best friend. |
