"-So you are the wonderful Lucky Spencer, the boy I have heard so much about from both my daughters.
-Yes Ma'am.
-Well it's nice to finally meet you
-It's nice to finally meet you too. Eliizabeth talks a lot about you.
-She does? Oh that's nice."
She came a little forward and took Lucky in her arms
"-Thank you so much for everything you have done for Lizzie these past two years. I don't know where she would be without youp> -Well, I don't know where I would be witth her Mrs. Webber. She means everything to me
-What do you say we sit down so we can ttalk a little?
-Sure"
He pulled his mother-in-law a chair, and sat in front of her. Sarah came to sit down, but her mother told her to go talk with her grandmother a little.
"-Poor Sarah. She still loves your brother, but she has a difficult time accepting that, finally, her sister has something she doesn't.
-Well, at first I wanted to go out with Sarah, before Elizabeth came to town. She just missed her chance .
-I'm glad. Don't get me wrong, I love SSarah, but it was time for her to live in her sister's shadow, instead of the other way around. Lucky can I be straight with you?
-Please
-When we heard that Lizzie was seeing thhe Spencer boy, we weren't very happy, knowing your father's activities. Then Sarah came back last year, but Lizzie decided to stay with you instead. At first, Jeff wanted to come here and bring her back with us, so she could be as far from you as humanly possible. We didn't because knowing Liz's temper, she just would've came back to you anyway. So we toughed it out, knowing Liz's volatile heart. She would've be tired of that boy in no time. Audrey called a couple of months ago, saying that you were out of her life because you were gone to college. The problem was that Lizzie's grandmother had grown to love you, and she took you two in pity, paying for Liz's education. Needless to say, Jeff was not happy about it and he said he would be back here to drag her with us in England. He said your family would not have her killed. Sarah tried to convince us that you would rather die than let anything happen to Lizzie, but we didn't believe her. Audrey told us that she would go see if everything was all right, and report back to us. When she did, she told us you two had gotten married. I swear to you, Jeff was looking for a shotgun.
-I understand, I just realized your posiition, and I would've killed that guy
-Well, Jeff wanted too. But then Audreyy told him about the rape and everything Lizzie had to go through. She also told us that if it wasn't for you she probably would've killed herself. At this words, Madeline started wiping tears from her eyes. Anyway, Audrey told us that the guy who did this to her was behind bars, and that you married her so she would've have to be alone.
-I married her because I love her Mrs. WWebber. I will never say it enough. She means the world to me
-I know son. I know now. Anyone could see how much you care about her. And I've been told that, you got our little to smile again, and that's why Audrey didn't oppose to your marriage, and so won't we. I just wanted you to know that.
-Thank you Mrs. Webber, for telling me eeverything. But please know that my father loves Elizabeth, and he would never let anything bad happen to her. Neither will I"
Madeline got up and took Lucky in her arms. It was the first time she met him, but she already loved him so dearly. Elizabeth came back at that time, and took Madeline in her arms. Jeff looked at Lucky, and shook his hand, right before hugging him. Lucky talked a little with his father in law, when he noticed Sarah, sitting alone at a table. He knew he shouldn't do this, but while Liz got reacquainted with her parents, Lucky went and asked Sarah to dance. She asked right away, like as if she knew he would ask her.
They talked about everything. School, Europe, friends. Lucky knew Sarah was beating around the bush to ask him something. He was sure it had something to do with Nikolas, but he was wrong.
"-Are you happy with my sister? She asked
-I'm so happy I'm floating all the time.. Why?
-No reason
-Come on Sarah, it's me, Lucky, rememberr? Your friend?
-I'm just wondering if sometimes you thiink about us
-There was no "Us" Sarah, never has beenn.
-You never feel like you've made a mistaake?
-What, by marrying your sister?
-No, by falling in love with her? Don'tt you ever wish things had happened differently? Like if she had never been raped?
-I wish that all the time Sarah. I can''t bear seeing the pain in her eyes when she hears something that reminds her of that night
-But you never wonder where we could be,, you and me, if she hadn't needed you the way she did?"
Lucky was stunned. Sure, Madeline told him that Sarah was jealous, but he didn't think she'd be this obvious about it. This was the party celebrating her sister's wedding for God's sake!
"-What if I had been the one being raped? She asked
-What are you saying Sarah? You wished you had been the one being raped?
-Yeah, maybe it would be my wedding to yyou we would be celebrating right now
-I don't want to hurt you Sarah, but thaat would never have happened. Elizabeth and I, we are soul mates. We would've found our way to each other even without the rape. That's what kindred spirits do. When I'm with her, I finally understand why God put me on this earth. When I look in Elizabeth's eyes, I see myself, I see my soul. She held the key to my heart all along, and I'm sorry she had to go through what she did for me to realize that. Now, The song is finished so if you don't mind, I'd like to get back to my wife."
Elizabeth was still talking with her parents when he came up from behind and took her in his arms. He listened to her saying how she loved him from the start, and how he only wanted to be with Sarah. She told her dad all the pranks she pulled to get his attention, and Jeff was laughing. Lucky wasn't. It made him realized how much she loved him, even when he didn't want to have anything to do with her. He was feeling so guilty he was out of breath.
The rest of the party went fast. Other than this guilty feeling he couldn't shake, Lucky had a good time. Everybody enjoyed themselves, even Marcus and Sonny got along for Lucky and Liz's sake. Diner was served at 5, and Lucky didn't even know it would be going on long enough to have a diner. One of the biggest surprise came right after diner, when Greg and Melissa showed up. Lucky and Elizabeth were so happy to see them. Laura had contacted them, and they gladly accepted the invitation. Liz took them to her parents, saying Greg was her big brother.
Just before they were ready to leave, Lucky saw the urge Laura was having to keep them there, but Lucky wanted to go home. He was tired. He finally accepted to stay another thirty minutes. He didn't regret it, because the biggest surprise walked through the door 5 minutes later
"-SLY!
-Hey man, you didn't think I would miss this did you?"
Lucky was so happy to see his cousin and Liz was finally meeting this guy she heard so much about. They started to talk about music, when Liz had an idea.
"-Hey guys, why don't you sing us a song? She asked
-No we can't, replied Lucky.
-Come on? For me?
-Elizabeth, that is not fair, you know II'd do anything for you
-Then sing a song. You always say how yyou and your cousin rock. I say you are a liar.
-Am not!
-Then show me!
-There is one tricked lady you got theree cuz, said Sly
-One song and that's it!"
Elizabeth kissed him and he went with Sly on the stage. Mac opened the microphones, so that everyone could hear. Lucky talked to Sly a little, before saying they were ready. Lucky took the microphone and thanked everyone for coming.
"-Now, as you all know Elizabeth, when she wants something, she usually gets it from everyone, and she always gets it from me! Everybody laughed. What can I say, I am a sucker for her smile. Now, this is a song I wrote for her the night we got married. I was lying in my bed, alone, thanks to Mrs Hardy and my mother! Everybody laughed again. Anyway, this is it:
One thing I'm sure is
That we will always be
Even though the road seems
To get a little rough
It's for you I live I can do anything
And it will never be too much
In my darkest hour you are
There to light the way
And when I'm down you
Always lift me up again
You know me
Better than I know myself
You comfort me and let me know
With you I'm gonna win
Walk with me hand in hand
we will help each other understand
How to go through
There will never be a day
That we'll grow apart
So we'll forever be
Together hand in hand
Sometimes I'm wrong
And ever in that case
You didn't go away
You stayed right next to me
as time goes on I realize
That you're for me
And will be for eternity
In my darkest hour you are
There to light the way
And when I'm down you
Always lift me up again
You know me
Better than I know myself
You comfort me and let me know
With you I'm gonna win
Walk with me hand in hand
we will help each other understand
How to go through
There will never be a day
That we'll grow apart
So we'll forever be
Together hand in hand
Lucky got off the stage, and took Elizabeth in his arms, lifting her up from the floor and kissed her. Everyone was applauding, and Lucky saw a couple of people wipe tears from their eyes.
the song Lucky "wrote" is hand in hand, by 98 degrees. Just thought I'd clear that out. Just thought it would be cute if I said Lucky wrote it
