| Chapter 4: Lucky ran his fingers through his hair as he walked in the door to Luke's. What was all of that? That whole fight. Where did it come from? "Hey Dad." Lucky greeted his father, sitting on a stool at the bar. "Hey Cowboy." Luke took a sip of his drink and leaned his elbows on the counter. "What's on your mind?" "Women. They're so confusing." Mac Scorpio laughed as he walked past. "I could've told you that." Luke smiled. "Sarah?" "No, Emily." "As in Quartermaine? I haven't seen her around for a long time. Are you still friends with her?" Lucky glared at him. "Thanks Dad." Lucky slid off of the stool and walked out the door. Luke raised an eyebrow. "What'd I say?" Sarah Webber glanced in the window to Nikolas' hospital room. She looked around her. Seeing that the waiting area was empty, she walked into the room. Nikolas was turned away from her, his eyes were closed, and by his breathing, she could tell that he was sleeping. Sarah quietly walked over and pulled up a chair. She gently took a hold of his hand. "Hi Nikolas." she said quietly. "I know that you haven't wanted to see me lately. But I have wanted to see you because I can't be away from you, especially when you are hurt like this. I don't understand what I have done to make you act this cold to me." Sarah looked down. "But that doesn't matter, just as long as you are alright. Nikolas-" "Young lady, what are you doing here?" Sarah jumped and dropped Nikolas' hand at the sound of a voice behind her. She turned to see Stefan Cassadine standing in the doorway. "I-I-I just wanted to see Nikolas." she stammered. "My nephew asked not to see you, Miss Webber." "I know, and I'm sorry." "Please do not come back again." Stefan moved so that she could go out the door. Stefan closed the door behind her and walked over to the bed. He sat down in the now unoccupied chair and watched as the teenager slept. "So, how's Nicky doing?" Sarah glared at her sister. "Okay." Lizzie said uncomfortably as she sat down next to Sarah on the couch in the waiting room. "Will you be coming home any time soon, or shall I bring your toothbrush here?" Sarah sighed. "I get the point, okay Lizzie? Tell Gram that I'll be home for supper." "You know Sarah, Nikolas just needs time. So give him some time and some space." Sarah stared after her sister as she walked out the door. |
