Chapter 1:

The night of Katherine and Stefan's engagement ball.

"Stefan we can't tell him. He hate's you. It will destroy him!"
"Laura I have a right to get to know my son!!" "Lucky may be your son by blood, but he's Luke's in heart and soul! I will not hurt my son again."
"My son hates me. I deserve a chance to change that!"
"No, I will not let you do that to my family!"

"Madam, the parapet has been loosened as ordered."
"Splendid Ari. Tonight Stefan will fall, and control of the Cassadine fortune will revert back to me until Nikolas turns 25."
"Yes, Madam."
"Make sure Stefan goes to the parapet at midnight."
"Yes, Mrs. Cassadine."

"Lucky are you sure we should be doing this."
"Why not? Everyone is dancing. No one will come up here."
Elizabeth had never been inside Wyndemere before. Lucky had decided to rectify that problem.
"Where are we going?"
"To the parapet."
"Why? I really don't want to be in here. This place gives me the creeps."
"Supposedly the parapet has a great view."
"Ok, Ok we'll go."

"Doesn't it have a great view?"
"Alright Lucky we saw the view. Let's get out of here."
"Relax Liz what can happen." Lucky leans against the railing with a cocky grin on his face. The loosened railing gives way and Lucky falls back first onto the ground below.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Liz screams.

Chapter 2:

Nikolas and Robin were looking for Emily outside when they heard Liz's scream.
They run over to where Lucky has fallen.
Nikolas looks down at Lucky not able to move a muscle. Lucky is lying still on the ground. His right leg is bent in an awkward position. Finally breaking from his reverie Nikolas kneels down next to Lucky and looks up to at the parapet and sees Liz staring down.
"Robin get help!" Robin runs inside.
Nikolas looks down at Lucky and feels for a pulse. He releases the breath he wasn't aware he was holding as he feels a faint pulse. Nikolas just sits with Lucky lost in thought. He doesn't even notice as a crowd gathers around him.
"Oh my god……….. Lucky!! Nikolas, What happened?" Bobby asks frantically.
"I don't know…..I heard Elizabeth scream…..then Robin and I ran and saw him lying there."
"Where is Elizabeth?"
"She is still up on the parapet." Bobby looks up and sees Liz. "It looks like she is in shock. Nikolas will you get her please?"
He takes another look at Lucky being tended to by Monica, Tony, and Bobbie and reluctantly walks inside and up the stairs. On the way up he runs into Laura and Stefan.
"Laura?"
"Nikolas what's wrong?"
"Lucky…he fell from the parapet. He's unconscious."
"No…he's not here. Why would he be?" Laura asks not believing what she's hearing.
"He's here. And he doesn't look good at all." Laura and Stefan run past Nikolas outside to where Lucky is.

Elizabeth is still staring down at Lucky from the parapet to shocked to move. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Lucky was lying motionless on the ground as the doctors and nurses that had attended the ball were trying to save him.
"Elizabeth?" Nikolas asks cautiously. Elizabeth turns her head and looks at Nikolas like she's never seen him before. Nikolas doesn't know what to do. "Elizabeth why don't we move a way from here?" Nikolas holds out his hand to her. Elizabeth looks at it and takes it. She allows Nikolas to lead her to Lucky not saying anything.

Chapter 3:

Liz, Laura, Amy, Luke, Emily, Nikolas, and most of Port Charles with Stefan Cassadine standing discreetly in the back ground wait anxiously for news of Lucky. After Lucky was transported off the island he went immediately into surgery. He had massive internal injuries, a broken leg, a possible broken back, and severe head trauma. It does not look good. He had been in surgery for over four hours with no news.
Bobby walks out of the elevator and over to her family. Luke and Laura run up to her quickly to find out how their son is.
"Barbara Jean how is he?" Luke asks.
"Luke it doesn't look good. The surgery went well, but he's lost so much blood. All we can do now is wait. The doctor will be out soon to tell you more. I am sorry I can't tell you more."
"Can we see him."
"Not yet. He's being moved into ICU."
Luke and Laura just stand there holding on to each other not really believing what is happening. Stefan just stands there silently hoping that Lucky will make it. He hopes against hope that it is not too late to get to know his son.
Bobby goes over to where Liz is sitting just staring off in space.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

In ICU

"Well Lucky you walked into an unfortunate situation. It was supposed to be Stefan not you that was hurt. But this can work to my advantage as well. What better way than to get back at Luke than let him believe that his son is dead."
Helena walks over to a IV that is in Lucky's hand and puts a drug into his IV.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As Laura and Luke walk to ICU to see their son they see nurses and doctors run into his room He's flat lined. The doctors try unsuccessfully to revive him. After several attempts they declare Lucky Spencer dead.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Bobby walks out of ICU with tears rolling down her face. She walks silently over to the waiting group. As Laura and Luke get a good look at Bobby they realize that their son is dead. Laura starts to sob uncontrollably and Luke pulls her into a hug as tears roll down her face. Stefan silently walks away with tears in his eyes for the son he never knew.
"No…no…your lying." Liz walks up to Bobby screaming. "He's not dead…. He can't be dead."
"Liz I am sorry." Bobby says trying to comfort her.
"No! Get away from me all of you. He can't be dead. He saved me. What am I going to do with out him?" Liz falls onto her knees sobbing.
Everyone watches her silently as the tears fall from their faces. A nurse comes up to Liz and gives her a sedative.

Chapter 4:

A week later…

Emily is sitting alone in the park trying to think about anything but Lucky. It's been a week and she still feels just as lost as she did when she first heard. She keeps thinking about the good times they had before the Cassadines came to town, and how Lucky and her stopped hanging out so much. She regrets the fact that she did not fight harder for their friendship.
Nikolas was walking through the park when he spotted Emily sitting by herself.
"Hi Emily." Nikolas says softly.
"Hey Nikolas. How are you?"
"Ok, and you?"
"Ok I guess, I was just sitting here thinking."
"About Lucky?"
"Yeah. I can't believe he's gone. I mean we weren't even that close, but I still feel like I lost a part of me."
"I know what you mean. I don't think Lucky and I had a civilized conversation with each other that didn't end in insulting each other."
"I guess as much as you two may have denied he was your brother."
"I know. You two were best friends once right?"
"Yeah we were. He helped me deal with my mother dying. We even ran away together once." Emily smiles at the memory.
"Why?"
"Well I didn't want to live with the Quartermaines so we went searching for my mother's younger sister Corrine. His parents were fighting at the time so he used it at a chance to try to get his parents to work together to find us."
"Did it work?"
"Well I didn't find my aunt, but his parents did work things out."
"Were they mad?"
"Actually they were kind of proud of us. See they didn't find us until we had already made it home and were waiting in his living room."
"It sounds like fun. Lucky definitely had more adventures growing up than I did."
"It was for the most part. Lucky was really hurt that his parents were fighting. He hated it. His mom had kicked his dad out of the house, but they got back together. Growing up he didn't make a lot of friends, because they were always moving. So he always relied on his parents."
"That explains why he hated me. I was a lie that his mom kept from him and his dad. I don't think he really ever forgave Laura for that."
"I don't think he really hated you. I just don't think he trusted you."

Liz was lying on her bed crying softly. She couldn't seem to think about Lucky with out tears in her eyes. Sarah walked into her room unnoticed by Liz.
"Liz?"
"Oh hi Sarah." Liz says hurriedly as she wipes her eyes with the back of her hands.
"Do you want to talk?"
"I don't know what to do. I feel like my other half is missing. Isn't that silly, I mean we weren't even going out or anything."
"Come on Liz. It's not silly. You guys were inseparable since February. You may not have been going out or anything like that, but it was obvious how much you two cared about each other."
"I don't know what I am going to do with out him. He always made me feel better, and he never made me feel like I was wrong to feel the way I do. He made me feel like he needed me as much as I needed him. Even though, I knew that he could run off with out me and be fine." The tears start to fall freely now as Sarah wraps Liz into a hug.
"Shhh….Liz it will be ok."
"No it won't Sarah. Nothing will ever be ok again."
"Don't you see Sarah. If it hadn't been for me Lucky would have never been at that party. I wanted to go there."
"Liz it's not your fault. It was an accident. Lucky loved the excitement, and what better way to get excitement than sneak into Wyndemere during a ball."
"You don't understand. It's all my fault." Liz dissolves into sobs. Sarah doesn't know what to say so she just holds her.

In an abandoned part of Mercy Hospital...

"Dr. Jones, how good of you to join me. It's time for you to pay your debt to me. I've had a doctor of mine check him out, but I need your expertise as a neurosurgeon to make sure that my patient will be ok."
"And if I refuse."
"That's just say I won't be to happy."
"Where is this patient of yours, Helena."
"Right this way."
"Oh my god. He's alive."
"Yes, now I want to know if he's going to be ok. I warn you if you tell anyone that he is alive I will have Lucas and Micheal killed."
"I'll check him out immediately."
"Good. I want to take him to Greece as soon as possible."

Chapter 5:

Tony Jones walks out of Lucky's room after checking on him. He looked at his x-rays that Helena had stolen from GH.
"Well?" Helena asked impatiently.
"The swelling in his head has gone down. He should be waking up as soon as the swelling is completely gone. When he wakes up he most likely will be paralyzed. However, he will be able to walk again the condition is only temporary."
"When can he be moved?"
"In about a week, and when you do move him make sure that he is immobilized."
"I'll have my doctors take care of it. Thank you, Dr. Jones. Remember what I told you. Keep quiet and Lucas and Micheal live."

++++++++++++

Luke stares at the bottle of whiskey in his hand.
"Luke please come home with me. I need you at home." Laura says as she walks over to her husband.
"I can't."
"Why not? He's not coming back Luke. I want him to more than anything, but he's gone." Tears fall silently down her face.
"He died hating me. My own son hated me."
"He didn't hate you Luke. He was hurt and angry, but he did love you."
"I wish I could believe that."
"Then believe it. Come home with me please." Luke looked up into his angel's eyes and knew he had to go with her.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Barbara can I see you for a minute?"
"Sure Stefan. What can I do for you?"
"Come with me to my office please." Bobbie and Stefan walk to his office in silence.
"Barbara, I just wanted to say I am sorry about Lucky's death." Bobbie looked up at Stefan startled that he sounded completely sincere. Stefan never pretended to care anything about Lucky.
"Thank you."
"You look surprised."
"Well we haven't been on the best of terms lately and I am surprised."
"I just wanted to say that I am sorry. I feel responsible for his death. If my security was better, or I had checked the parapet to make sure that it was secure. It would never of happened."
"It's not your fault. It was a tragic accident." Bobby looked up at Stefan with tears in her eyes. Lucky's death brought to many memories back from BJ's death. When she looked up at Stefan she was surprised to see tears in his own eyes.
"Stefan I can not believe you are upset at his death. I thought you hated everything Spencer."
"Barbara I am not so cold. He was 15 years old, and he did not deserve to die. I care more than you think." With that Stefan turns and walks away.
