Later that evening Lucky is looking out his window. It’s snowing again. Something he’s used to. His mind is running wild with what Lulu has been telling him. Emily had tried to stop him. Emily had tried to tell him she loved him. If only he had trusted his sense’s and turned back that night. Yet he couldn’t fill his mind with what ifs, could he?

He stood up and walked over to the bed. He picked up his cell phone from the nightstand and dialed a number.

Lucky: Leigh, it’s me.

Leigh James a 20 year old college student at Rutgers University. She’s sitting at a desk in a Dorm room. Her hair pulled back and she’s wearing a Centaurus High Sweatshirt. Her phone rings and she picks it up.

Leigh: Hello? Lucky, what is it? What’s wrong?

Lucky: I came home.

Leigh: You’re in Port Charles?

Lucky: Yeah.

Leigh: Lucky, what is going on?

Lucky: Emily’s marrying my brother.

Leigh: Lucky what are you planning?

Lucky: I don’t know, that’s why I called.

Leigh: You have to tell her! You can’t go on living your life pretending your not in love with her.

Lucky: I know but Leigh…

Leigh: No buts Spencer. Tell her before the wedding.

Lucky: What would I do with out you Leigh?

Leigh: Suffer, have no idea what to do and not get that one push you need to fight for the woman you love. There’s something else on your mind what is it?

Lucky: My little sister has read through me the thing is, she not only thinks I love Emily but that Emily loves me.

Leigh: She must have a reason, did she tell you why?

Lucky: She told me Emily tried to stop me at the airport the night I left.

Leigh: You definitely have got to talk to her.

Lucky: I know, I know.

Leigh: Well get off the phone with me, drive to where ever she lives, but be careful of the ice. Then tell her, tell her you love her, take her in your arms and kiss her. Kiss her like she’s never been kissed before.

Lucky: You’re a hopeless romantic!

Leigh: That’s from all the soaps I watched in High School.

Lucky: Talk to you later Leigh.

Leigh: You can count on it Spencer!

Lucky hung up the phone and grabbed his coat.

Emily looked out her window. Her mind was in over drive. She wasn’t thinking of Nikolas, the Holiday’s, or of the wedding. She was thinking of Lucky. She needed to clear her head, she needed to get away from all thoughts of Lucky. She grabbed her coat and left the mansion.

Emily got in her car and drove to the catacombs. Ever since Graduation night, this had been where she came to think. This was where she felt that part of her wasn’t missing. She entered the darkened tunnels, she let out a laugh as she remembered when she and Lucky had run away and ended up in that cave. He had been so worried then but never again. Or at least he never let on to how worried he was.

She heard footsteps behind her and she slowly turned around as her heart was pounding from the fear. Her eye’s saw the person’s feet first, the work boot’s then followed the form’s body up and saw a pair of Blue jeans then a dark Blue fleece and finally she saw who it was. She saw Lucky looking at her.

Emily: Spencer, what are you doing here?

Lucky: Weird thing, I was on my way to the Mansion to see you but found myself drawn here.

Emily: Like some kind of a cosmic connection thing?

Lucky: Exactly.

There’s water dripping around Emily, a drop fell on her face and Lucky moved closer. He cupped her face in his hand and with his thumb wiped the drop away.

Emily: (softly) Thanks Spencer.

Lucky: (almost in a whisper) Welcome Quartermaine.

Lucky looked into Emily’s eyes. His hand still on her face. Emily covered his hand with hers as her eyes filled with tears. She began crying, so afraid of her emotions and everything she felt.

Lucky: Emily, what’s wrong?

Emily: This.

Lucky: Oh….

Lucky removes his hand, and turns away from Emily. Tears are building in his eyes. He wants to tell her, he needs to tell her. But he can’t. He turns back towards her and she’s gone.

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~

Emily ran to her car, tears streaming down her face. She knew that if she had kissed him or he kissed her should would have given herself to him completely, and fully. She opened the door to the car and got in. She turned on the ignition and the Radio came on.

I just want you to know who I am

As she listened to the song her heart and soul ached. Not for Nikolas, but for Lucky. She now realized she didn’t love Nikolas. She never had loved anyone other then Lucky.

Emily: (whispering) I love you Lucky.
