Chapter 8

Lucky woke up, he didn’t know where he was. Suddenly he remembered. He was in his father’s cabin, with Elizabeth sleeping by his side. They decided not to use Luke’s bed. They slept on the floor, next to the fire place. They kissed until the sun came up, watched it together, then fell asleep. Elizabeth was feeling better about Lucky’s feelings, but she was still worried. Worried that he would not find her interesting to stay with her or worst, that he would go back to Sarah. But she knew that if she didn’t risk nothing she’d get nothing, and, at least, it would’ve been good while it lasted. Lucky woke her up, and they head down. Lucky decided to take her to Kelly’s for a quick breakfast, then take her to Audrey, before the woman put out a search party for the missing girl.

Lucky kissed Elizabeth good-bye on the porch, knowing he would be back as soon as he could talk to Sarah. There was no way he would let her play with her sister’s mind like that. He knew Elizabeth had to go to the doctor’s in the afternoon and that would be when he’d talk to Sarah and it would be ugly. The boy was freezing, standing outside in the snow, out of sight, for Elizabeth to come out. She was late, as usual. Finally he saw her coming out, waited for Audrey’s car to pull out of the drive-way and headed in for the porch. Sarah opened the door and was surprised to see Lucky standing there.

"-Elizabeth just left, you just missed her, she said, letting him come in

-I know. I was waiting for her to leave. I wanted to talk to you, alone" Lucky noticed the smile of victory on Sarah’s face, and was about to punch it out of her.

"-What can I do for you? She asked

-I wanted to talk to you about what happened between me and Elizabeth last night

-She did it huh? She threw herself at you? Told her not to do it, that you wouldn’t go for that stuff,

-Sarah, stop ok? She told me what happened yesterday between you and her. She didn’t want to, I had to beat it out of her. How could you do this to her Sarah? To me? You know I’m not like that. I don’t understand. Elizabeth is the nicest, most passionate person I have ever met. How could you feed her a load of bullshit like that? That is not you

-You are right, it is not me, so why’d you believe her?

-Because she was helpless Sarah. She wanted to give herself to me so I wouldn’t walk away from her. Do you realize that? She wanted us to have sex so she would keep me. Because of what you told her.

-She is a tramp, that is why she wanted to give herself to you. You wouldn’t have been her first, I hope you realize that.

-I don’t care if I would’ve been her first, third or fiftieth. That is not the point Sarah. She trusted you and you played with her heart. I trusted you and you played with mine. I want you to know something. Elizabeth is the most important person in my life right now. I will not have you come in and mess that up you hear me? Or maybe you want Nikolas to know what you really think of him

-You wouldn’t!

-Try me. You stay clear of your sister’s face, and your little romance with the prince is safe with me.

-Don’t tell me you are in love with her Lucky! Please don’t tell me that

-My feelings for you sister are none of your business, nor her feelings for me. Leave us alone Sarah. You wanted to have me out of your life, you got your wish.

-That is what this is all about right? Because you can’t have me you will settle for Lizzie?"

Lucky and Sarah didn’t notice Elizabeth, standing in the kitchen door. She had forgotten her purse and she came back to get it. She knew she should tell them she was there, but she wanted to know what Lucky would answer. It would be an honest one, cause he didn’t know she was listening.

"-I am not "settling" for Lizzie like you said Sarah. I love to be with her. I love to see her smile. I love the way she plays with her hair when she is nervous. I love how she bites her lip when she thinks no one sees her. I love HER Sarah.

-More than you love me?

-Loved you Sarah. I am over you. This is what this is all about right? You can’t stand the fact that Elizabeth will have something you can’t have anymore. Well let me tell you something. There is no comparison to the way I felt about you with the way I feel about her"

Sarah’s face just lighted up at that comment and Elizabeth’s heart broke. She knew it. She was about to walking in when Sarah continued.

"-I knew it! Sarah said. You still love me. You are settling for her

-I don’t love you anymore Sarah. What I feel for Elizabeth is so powerful, so strong, that compared to what I feel for her, I hated you."

 

Sarah’s face turned red, like he just slapped her. Lucky took a step near Sarah and put his hands on her shoulders. Elizabeth was holding her breath.

"-Elizabeth and I, we’re solid. No one can mess with that. No one. Not even you. If you ever try again, I will see that you suffer. I will see to it PERSONALLY. Have I made myself clear?

-Very! Said Sarah, angry

-Good! As long as you stay away from her, Nikolas won’t know what you are really after but double cross me again, and you’ll wish you had never been born. I can be your closest ally, or your worst enemy. Hurt Elizabeth one more time. ONE MORE TIME and you won’t have that choice anymore. Got it? Good bye Sarah"

Lucky turned around to leave and he saw Elizabeth standing there, with tears running down her face. The three teenagers were standing there, waiting for the others to move. Lucky didn’t know what to do. He didn’t want Elizabeth to hear what he said. Saying to someone he was in love with Elizabeth was one thing, saying it to her was another. Finally, Sarah walked away and went up to her room. Elizabeth would pay for this, big time.

Lucky slowly walked toward her and stopped only inches away. Elizabeth was biting her lips, like he saw her do so many times. Putting his hand on her cheek, he wiped her tears away with his thumb, then pulled her head on his shoulder, putting his arms around her. They stayed like that a while, until they heard;

"-Elizabeth find your purse and let’s go!"

Wiping the tears off her face she smiled at Lucky, gently kissed his lips, and head back out. Lucky was in the middle for the Hardy’s kitchen, when he realized he was alone.
