Chapter Three: "Tragic Kingdom"
Nikolas walked down the halls of GH looking for something to do when he heard a
scream. "Noooo!!! Save him! Save him!" It was Bobbie. Did something happen to
Lucas? Nikolas ran to where the screams came from and saw Lucky being wheeled
in. Nikolas froze and took in his brother. He was pale and his chest was rising
and falling very rapidly. His eyes were open, but they were glossy and they kept
moving around. "What happened to him? Is he ok?"
"He's OD'ed on some drug and his blood alcohol level is to the roof. We need to
pump his stomach." The doctor on call pointed the paramedics into trauma one and
they pushed Lucky in.
Nikolas walked towards the room and looked through the window. "I have to tell
Liz…" He stammered to Bobbie who had joined him.
"They found him in Jake's Bar." Bobbie said just as Nikolas was walking away.
"Jake’s?"
"Yes. He had his boxers on when they found him and he was lying in his own
vomit."
Nikolas grimaced and looked at Bobbie. "I'll go tell Liz so she can get here."
Bobbie nodded. "Call Luke and Laura too." She whispered.
Nikolas walked over to the phone and started to dial. "Hello?" Came a sweet
voice from the other side. "Liz? This is Nikolas."
"Oh hi Nikolas, Lucky isn't here…"
"I know he isn't. Liz, he was just brought into GH." He heard a gasp.
"For what? Is he ok?"
"They said he overdosed on some kind of drug…"
"But Lucky doesn't take drugs!"
"I know, but they also said that he has a lot of alcohol in his system."
"Lucky doesn't drink either."
"No he doesn't. Not unless he is coaxed into it."
"What are you saying, Nikolas?"
Nikolas swallowed, how was he going to say this? "Liz...when he came in, he was
practically naked. I mean, his boxers were on. That's it."
"And?"
"They found woman's clothes in the room, too."
Liz choked on those words. Woman's clothes? What was he saying, that Lucky
cheated on her? That he got drunk and high and had sex with some woman? "I'll be
right there." Liz stammered into the phone and hung up.
Nikolas sighed and hung up the phone. He glanced over to the room Lucky was in,
then looked back at the phone. He dialed a number. "Hello?"
"Laura? This is Nikolas. I think you should come to GH."
"Why? Are you ok?"
"I'm fine… but Lucky isn't."
-----------------------
Everything was going in slow motion. He could see doctors over him, talking. But
he couldn't hear the words. He felt horrible. His body ached and he felt sick.
But what was bothering him the most was memories. That woman touching him and
kissing him. He closed his eyes, but that only made the thoughts stronger. He
could see the woman's sickening smile. She raised her glass up to his and he
raised his glass up to hers. 'What did I do? Get drunk? Oh my god.' He opened
his eyes and spotted what looked like his Aunt Bobbie outside. 'Help me, Aunt
Bobbie. Tell me it was all a dream. Please.' Those were his last thoughts before
he lost contact with the world.
