Sooner Than Heaven - Chapter 20

"Wonder what are lives would be like now if you um... you know,"Liz said, taking a bite of the pretzel.

"Living in New York on our street of course,"Lucky answered, quickly,"You'd be in art school... just like we had planned. Just like we dreamed of."

Liz smiled. If only that dream had come true.

Their was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"Lucky asked. He walked over, expecting to find either one of his parents. He was stunned to find his mom their, with Felicia!

"Lucky, oh my god!"Felicia gasped in disbelief. Even though Laura had told her, she was still afraid to believe it. She couldn't believe she was seeing Lucky, alive and well, with her own eyes,"it really honest to god is true!"She reached out to hug Lucky.

"Hi Felicia, man word spreads fast huh?"Lucky teased.

"I told her,"Laura said with a grin.

"I guessed,"Lucky said. Felicia let go,"This is so amazing!"She cried,"Wait till Mac heres this!"

"How is Mac?"Lucky asked, grinning. He could hardly wait till he saw everyone again.

"Great, but he'll be even better when he sees you.. course he wont be to happy about faison but stilll..."Felicia said.

Lucky closed his eyes at the word of Faison. He wanted to just forget about it. A vision of him popped into his head, of the first time he saw him. He opened his eyes, but he was still their.

"Lucky?"Liz asked, poking him on the ribs, "you ok?"

Lucky sighed,"Yeah... was just thinking about Faison..."

"Let's just forget about him for now,"Laura said.

"I'll try,"Lucky said,"it's hard to though."

"How'd you guys hold up in here tonight?"Laura asked.

Lucky glanced over at Liz who had the biggest grin on her face. "Fantastic,"he answered,"the best night i could imagine."
