Chapter 35: Lucky reluctantly let go of Elizabeth and she sat on her bed, wrapping her arms round herself as if trying to protect herself from all harm. She looked at him for a moment, "Let me get you a towel." "No, no, Im fine." "But Lucky, youre soaking wet. And youre shaking like a leaf." "So are you. Are you cold?" "No . Im scared." Lucky walked and sat down beside her and they turned to face each other. "I love you, you do know that, right?" "Of course I do, Lucky, you show it in every way possible." "And I know you dont remember your past, our past, all our memories, but you did so much for me. You let me in to love you, before the incident, and after." "How? I didnt know you." "But you trusted me enough to believe that I was your boyfriend, the one who loved you love. For all you knew, I could have been someone that was taking advantage of you." "But you arent. I saw it in your eye, I knew that you loved the person I was before." "I dont want to lose you when you go Elizabeth." "You wont." she promised, taking his hand, "How can I know that Elizabeth? How can we know that? I love you so much, but sometimes, I barely know you. I can sometimes read your thoughts but you hide yourself so well." "Well what am I suppose to do Lucky? Its been two months and Im having a hard time being Elizabeth for you. Im scared of doing stuff that she wouldnt dream of doing or say things that she wouldnt. Lucky, Im afraid that youll hate her because of me." "Elizabeth, you are her." "No Im not. Not anymore. She died away, or vanished in that incident, she chose to leave and leave me here. And I dont know what to do. If I were her, and I remembered everything, I would choose to stay here with you .. but I cant. I just cant Lucky, cause Im not her, and I might not be her for a long time .. or forever ." "Elizabeth, listen to me." He said taking her face in his hands, "I love you. Who you are now, who you were then -- " he searched her eyes for some sort of belief, "And I know its hard, its hard for me too." "As hard as it is for you, Lucky, its even harder on me." Seeing that they were getting nowhere, Lucky said, "What are we going to do?" "I dont know." She replied softly watching him walk to the window. "I do love you Elizabeth." "I know." He gave her one last look, then left. ~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~ "No one I know would come through a rainstorm to see me." Nikolas said letting Emily in. "Well, this was important, and I couldnt do it over the phone." "Oh . Well, let me get you some tea, itll make you warmer." Nikolas left to the kitchen and she followed him. He waited as the water boil and noticed how close Emily was. Before he knew it, he found himself kissing her. When they pulled apart she said, "Nikolas, I came because I realized something. About you. You and Jason . And also about my feelings." Suddenly the phone rang and Nikolas reached for it without breaking his eye contact with Emily. "Hello?" "Hello, is this Nikolas?" "Yes, who is this?" "Its Sarah ." "Are you okay?" "Im stuck at the library and I I need to get back home." "Theyre making all the people leave?" "No, no . I need to go home to stay with Liz. I hate leaving her alone in an empty house. I wouldnt have resorted in calling you, but youre the only person left." "Ill be there soon. And dont worry, Ill get you home." "Thanks." She said softly. They both hung up and Nikolas spoke, "That was Sarah." "You have to go get her." "Yeah . Listen, you can stay if youd like ." "No, what I have to tell you wont take long. I have to explain why I kissed you just now." "You dont have to explain yourself Emily, not with me." "But I want to. I kissed you because I hate what Im going to do to you." "What you are going to do?" he said sitting down. She sat down in front of him, "I love you Nikolas, I really do. And there was a time when I though that you were the one. But you and Sarah. And then you broke things off and we went away to save Liz and I thought that maybe I had a chance. But we kissed and I knew you still were hanging on to Sarah." "But Im not anymore. I love you." "I love you Nikolas. But just as a friend." "And Jason?" "I dont love him as a lover, but I know deep down inside I will. I know that hes the one for me." "I love you." "I know you do, and Im sorry that I had to do this to you." "No no, I forced it upon you to make decision and you did. If youll excuse me, I have to pick someone up. Ill make sure youre escorted out." And with that Nikolas left the room, leaving Emily alone. I am thinking of you In my sleepless solitude tonight If it's wrong to love you Then my heart just won't let me right 'Cause I've drowned in you And I won't pull through Without you by my side
Elizabeth sat up in bed, she couldnt sleep. She closed her eyes as out of nowhere, a memory came to her .. "Lucky, what would you have done if I had died?" Liz suddenly asked. Lucky ran his hand through her hair; "I'd probably kill myself." He said seriously. "Lucky, you don't mean that, I mean -- " "No, I mean it." He said softly stroking her cheek, "Elizabeth, I can't imagine living in a world without you. I can't see me without you by my side, and I don't want to. You mean everything in the world to me. I will never sleep peacefully unless I know that you are safe, alive, and know that you are everything for me." "You promise?" "Yeah, I love you." "Mmmm that's music to my ears." "You like that don't you?" "Uh huh." She said as Lucky kissed her forehead. "I love you." He said then kissed her temple. "I love you." He kissed her eyelids. "I love you." Her nose, Liz stopped him and held his head in her hands, "I love you too." She told him then kissed him on the lips. Liz got out of bed and grabbed a raincoat. She quickly ran down the steps and went out the front door. She ran all the way to the docks near Kellys, a place Lucky took her to help her jog up memories, but nothing happened, and nothing still did. She sat down on the bench as the rain poured down on her. She closed her eyes and tried to remember. She had to remember it was the only way that she could stay. She knew that if she remember everything, then she could stay and be Luckys forever, but if she couldnt then she would go. It wouldnt be fair for Lucky to stay with someone like her. He deserved someone else. She shut her eyes again and thought harder, Come on, think, remember . You have to remember . Why cant I remember . "Why cant I remember?" she said out loud this time as tears fell down her eyes, "I have to remember!" "Elizabeth?" a voice called to her. I'd give my all to have Just one more night with you I'd risk my life to feel Your body next to mine 'cause I can't let go on Living in the memory of your song I'd give my all for your love tonight Emily caught Tammy as she was closing up and she let her in to see Jason. She ran up the stairs and knocked on his door. He opened it and was surprised, "Emily, its raining outside." "I know. I had to see you. I had to tell you." He let her in and she looked around, "You were going to leave?"
Baby can you feel me Imagining I'm looking in your eyes I can see you clearly Vividly emblazoned in my mind And yet you're so far Like a distant star I'm wishing on tonight "Yeah, go back to Rosedale, you know? Thats my home." "Why cant your home be here?" Cause I wouldnt fit in, and cause I would have no reason." "And me?" "I dont think we could work Emily, youre always so distant and with the Cassadine." "I fixed all of that. I have to tell you Jason. The night we came back to Port Charles and you found me crying in the hall ." "Yeah " "He made me make a choice. Between him and you. He said that he loved me and not Sarah. And he knew about you so he made me choose. And I did, tonight. I just finished my talk with Nikolas at his place . I went there to tell him that I picked you." "Well I hope youre happy with him ." "Jason, did you hear what I said? I picked you. I want to be with you." She broke out into a smile when she saw him realize what she was saying. "You chose me?" "Of course I did, silly." He pulled her into his arms, "Youre the best little girl . "Im not a little girl ." She said softly before their lips net. I'd give my all to have Just one more night with you I'd risk my life to feel Your body next to mine 'cause I can't let go on Living in the memory of your song I'd give my all for your love tonight Sarah and Nikolas reached the Hardy house. Sarah went in and turned on the lights, "Liz? Lizzie? Are you here?" "Is she home?" Nikolas asked. "I dont think so. What if something happened to her?" "Go check her room, Ill look down here." A couple minutes later, Sarah came back down, "Nothing. No blood, Nothings broken her coats gone. She must be in night mode." "Night mode?" "Well, after her rape, she couple sleep at night, and so in the middle of the night she would just leave." "Do you know where?" "No no I dont." She turned to face him and he softly stroke her cheek, he leaned in and kissed her. She pulled back, "Nikolas I -- " He kissed her again and they both walked back towards the couch. Sarah fell to the couch and felt Nikolas on top of her. She broke the kiss and said, "Nikolas, maybe we shouldnt ." "I want to ." ** Guitar Break ** "Elizabeth?" he called again. "Lucky?" He saw that she was crying, though it was hard to tell because of the rain. "Hey, whats wrong?" "I cant remember Lucky . I cant and I have to if I want to be with you ." "You dont have to prove anything for me Elizabeth, or be anything for me ." "I came to say goodbye Lucky " she half lied. "I dont want you to go." "I know. Maybe someday Ill remember " "Maybe. You will " he said as his heart broke. "I dont want you to wait for me Lucky." She said as she cried harder. He pulled her into a hug. I'd give my all to have Just one more night with you I'd risk my life to feel Your body next to mine 'cause I can't let go on Living in the memory of your song I'd give my all for your love tonight Give my all for your love Tonight ~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~ "I dont want you to wait for me Lucky." She said again. "But I love you." "But you have a life and it wont be with me when I go, cause I might not come back ." "But I love you " "And youll forget all about me and youll have a brand new person you could love and shell love you back. Youll make new memories and youll love her forever . And Ill just fade away." "You cant .. you cant ever ." He said as his tears spilled form his eyes. "I love you Lucky, I always will." She said pulling away from his arms. She stood up to leave. She couldnt stop crying, she passed past the streetlight and walked into the park. She felt a hand on her arm, pulling her back. "Elizabeth " It was Lucky. "I love you too ." "I know." She said then kissed him. They kissed as though the world would end, and to Lucky, the world had. He let go of her and watched her disappear from his life forever. Sarah opened her eyes to find Nikolas still with her. Their bare skins were still against each other and she suddenly felt that Nikolas was crying. "Nikolas, whats wrong?" "I made Emily choose between the two of us me and Jason . And she chose him." She pulled him up and let him rest his head on her bare chest. She hands sat lightly on his stomach and she just let him cry. She softly kissed his tears away, but stopped when she realized that he might not have wanted that. "No . no . dont stop, please. Please ." He turned his body so that their bodies fit perfectly and he kissed her. They continued to do what they were doing before, but she knew what was truly in his heart, and it was Emily. Only Emily. ~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~%*~ No one's picking up the phone Guess it's me and me And this little masochist Shes ready to confess All the things that I never thought That she could feel and It was four days later.

Hey Jupiter Nothings been the same So are you gay Are you blue Thought we both could use a friend To run to And I thought I wouldn't have to be With you Something new. Jason and Emily stood by Lucky in the park where he would come to everyday night just to remember their last kiss. Sometimes I breathe you in And I know you know And sometimes you take a swim Found your writing on my wall If my heart's soaking wet Boy your boots can leave a mess "Its getting late Luck." Emily said softly. "I miss her Em. She let me love her and I won't ever stop. It was like she wore this protective crown with stars and jewels and she wouldn' let anyone in because if it." "Lucky?" "She let me take the stars off so that i could see the real her and love her with all my heart. I miss her Em." "I know. I know you do . Come one, lets get you out of here."
