Lucky came to see her, all excited. He had obtained a full scholarship for the University of his choice. Elizabeth was happy for him, but she felt a little left out. Then he asked her to go with him and she said she's think about it. When he came back a couple of days later, she told him gram would never go for it and besides, she didn't have enough money to pay the tuition of the University he was going to. Then the unthinkable happened. HE asked her to marry him. He said that if they were married, she would go into his scholarship, that way she could pay the tuition. He even said it would be a marriage in name only, he wouldn't touch her. She replied she couldn't let him throw his life away on a head trip like that. He replied he wanted her with him, at all costs.
"-Live without you Elizabeth? I just can't. I'll go to the University of Port Charles. He said
-No way Lucas Spencer. You have a channce of a lifetime.
-I want you with me Elizabeth. If you are not there, it's worth nothing."
She realized he was serious, but she didn't want to marry him. She wanted a marriage of love, but she wasn't ready for it. Just the idea of a man touching her, even if it was Lucky, was repulsive. So she did the only thing she could do, to prevent him from doing something stupid.
"-Lucky, I appreciate everything you did for me, I really do, but I honestly think it's time to get some distance between us. You will always be my friend, but something's changed and I don't know what.
-Elizabeth, you can't be serious? He ssaid, with his voice cracking up
-I'm sorry Lucky but this is how I feell. I'll remember you as the best friend I've ever had, but it's time for us to take different path. Yours is to go to University, and mine, I'll find it soon. But you have to stop thinking for me. I'll see you when you get back.
-But Honey...
-Good-bye Lucky."
This was four days ago, and she was still in shocked. Why didn't she married him? She was safe with him. If she didn't want to make love, he would've respected her. He wouldn't even have tried.
Sighing her desperation, she got out from to window and sat on the bed. She took Lucky's tee-shirt he had left behind and put it up to her face. The clothe still smelled like him, and sobbing, Elizabeth held it close to her heart.
A knock on the door woke her up from her thoughts. She wiped the tears from her face before opening the door. Nikolas was standing there, with his hands in his pockets.
"-Liz are you ok? He asked while he got in.
-Yeah, I'll be all right, don't worry. Just being a little sentimental that's all.
-Well, that's understandable. Why are you in Lucky's old apartment?
-Because I miss him like crazy Nikolas.. We haven't been apart this long since I came to Port Charles two years ago. I still can't believe he's gone
-Why didn't you want him to go to PCU?<
-Because there is no computer science hhere. He needed to go in computer science, so he had to leave. I know that, for me, he would've changed his major, but I didn't want him to ruin his life. That's why I sent him away, even thought I feel like dying, just to stop the pain."
Elizabeth starting crying again, so Nikolas took her in his arms. He received a call from his brother yesterday, asking him to watch over Elizabeth while he was away. Lucky told him everything that went down between him and Liz, even the part where he asked her to marry him. Nikolas thought that Liz was crazy, but now he understood why she did it. She loved Lucky more than life, so she sent him away.
"-I'm sorry Nikolas, she said while pulling away from him, I'll be ok. What are you doing here?
-Well, I went to your house but you werren't there, and you weren't at Ruby's either. This is the next place I decided to look. I wanted to see how you were doing.
-Did you receive any news from him?
-He called yesterday
-HOW WAS HE?
-Devastated. He still doesn't understaands why you broke up with him. He thinks it's something he did wrong. Why don't you just tell him the truth? Wouldn't you both feel much better?
-You don't understand Nikolas. He wantted to marry me. I'm not ready for that. 6 months apart isn't the end of the world.
-Want me to leave you alone?
-Please"
After he left, Elizabeth took the shirt, put it in her bag, locked the door and head home. Arriving at her door step, she looked at the mailbox and saw a letter. She took it and opened the door. On the envelop Elizabeth Webber (and one day hopefully Spencer). Her heart stopped as she tore open the envelop.
"Dear Elizabeth,
I wrote this letter as soon as I arrived at my dorm room. I cannot stop thinking about you. My dad would kill me because, in his book, no man should show emotion, or beg for a woman's love, but I thought I would plead my case one more time, after you'd have some time to think.
By the time you'll receive this letter, I'm sure I'll be going crazy with missing you. Not being able to hold you in my arms will be real torture, more than I can bear. I still don't understand your change of heart. I know you are terrified with the idea of a man touching you, but I swore to you I wouldn't do that. I thought you trusted me, but it's clear you don't. My marriage proposal was real, not just a way for you to follow me. I know I've never said this before, and I feel kinda stupid to tell you in a letter but I love you Elizabeth. I really wanted you to be my wife. I know we are young, but I thought that you and me was the real thing. I love you so much it hurts. When I hold you in my arms, I can hardly breath, but I never want to let you go. When I think about you tears come to my eyes, because you are to beautiful for a human eye. God must be missing an angel, because I had her in my arms and mostly, I have her in my heart.
My grandmother once told me that a woman is like a flower, if you don't nourish it, the love she has for you dies, but I thought we were doing great. I'd really like to know what happened between us. I have to face the fact that I can't live without you, I guess I'll have to learn.
Please answer me, because without you, my life doesn't have any meanings anymore. Help me understand what I did wrong, so I can spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
Until I hear from you, I'll try to mend my broken heart.
All my love,
Lucky,
Who's no one without you."
