Chapter 2
Scott walked back towards Lucy's room. He wanted to go and see her for himself. Make sure she was really okay before Collins came back. Right when he was about to enter he was stopped by the familiar voice.
"Scott!! Your really Okay!"
"Eve!" Scott exclaimed picking up Eve spinning her around - Eve he had almost forgotten about her.
"I missed you so much!" Scott answered placing eve back on the ground not knowing how to cut the reunion short. He wanted to stay there with Eve really he did but he was concerned about Lucy....
"Dont you DARE say you missed me!!" Eve said angered.
"Huh?"
"You make your girlfriend - who thought you were DEAD find out your back in Port Charles by watching the news!! Without even bothering to call me!" Eve complained smacking Scott upside the head.
"Ow! I really meant to call you I just got in the hospital...I swear I havent even been able to call Serena yet!" Scott explained.
"Fine Ill let you make it up to me then" Eve answered seductively.
"And how do you plan for me to do this?" This definatily peeked Scott's curiousity
Eve leaned over and whispered into Scott's ear.
"Oh your on!" Scott continued "But i really have to go in and see Lucy first" That line certainly didnt thrill Eve to much.
"Of course" Eve nodded.
"Actually I want to be here for when she wakes up and possibly bring Serena down to see her so maybe we can take a raincheck on tonight" Scott knew he was really on testy ground.
"Sure no problem...."
"Thank You your a living doll" Scott replied kissing Eve on the cheek.
"Dont I know It" Eve answered watching Scott walk into Lucy's hospital room.
Scott walked quietly into Lucy's room taking a seat next to her bed.
"Hey pal I dont know if anyone's told you this yet but you look like hell" Scott chuckled taking Lucy's hand in his "I dont really know what Im doing here Im probably the last person you want to hear from right now.... Im sorry I dragged you into this I know I know your going to tell me its not my fault, you wanted to do this too but I just cant help thinking that I was the one that put you in here. Dom is right though I have to stop protecting you - I think its time you go out on your own and do what you want without me interferring.... I dont know how to say this... I Love you Lucy Coe. Weve been over this a thousand times I know that but down in Florida it just really brought back a lot of those old feelings and I need to know if your feeling this way too or am I just wasting my breath? Like I told you im not going to try and protect you.. I guess what im saying is that when you wake up Im going to let you make your own decision. Im not going to pressure you on who you want to be with and I know that I cant make that decision for you either Its your choice Lucy.. I know you love Collins... Even though I hate to admit it I know he loves you too...sometimes... but I Love you no matter what you do, what lies you tell and what mistakes you make... Its probably better I told you all this now that you cant hold it against me...." Scott's eyes began to fill with tears has he leaned over the bed and lightly kissed her on the cheek whispering "I Love you, pal" than walked out the door.
Kevin walked back inside where he found Karen looking at some patient charts. Karen looked up from the work has Kevin approached her.
"We need to talk" Kevin said pulling Karen off a bit to the side.
‘Kevin listen I have patients to see I dont have time to argue with you about your love life" Karen answered
"I didnt come here to argue I came here to.... apologize"
"Apologize?" Karen questioned
"Yeah.. Well I realize that I came off a bit strong earlier and im sorry and just needed you to know that Ive just been under a lot stress lately with Lucy and everything that Ive been a whole heck of a lot more defensive than usual..." Kevin explained.
"Yes You have" Karen quickly responded.
"Yes well.....I just wanted to say that Im sorry i really hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me"
"Apology accepted"Karen was about to leave when Kevin stopped her once more.
"But..."
"But dont but in with your personal life?" Karen finished.
"Well I wasnt going to ask but since...." Kevin started.
"Of course Kevin now I REALLY have patients I need to cure, lives to save, you know same old same old so if you dont mind...."
"Of course.." Kevin answered motioning Karen to leave when she did Kevin walked back expecting to pay another visit to Lucy.
When Kevin finaaly got to Lucy's room Scott was just leaving.
"Scott listen I dont want to have to knock you down just so I can see Lucy....." Kevin began
"Hey I wasnt going to try and stop you!" Scott answered.
"You werent?" Kevin asked confused.
"No you have every right to go in there and see her who am I to stop you?"
Okay now this was REALLY confusing....He couldnt understand it just a while ago Scott was pushing away from Lucy now why all of a sudden was he allowing him through then he realized it..."Dominiqe" he whispered.
"What?"
"Oh nothing never mind" That was it Dominique must have spoken to him also. Scott began to walk away when Kevin stopped him
"What is it?" Scott asked.
"Thank you" Kevin said appreciative has Scott finally walked off and Kevin entered the room.
Kevin again entered the quiet stale room taking a seat at Lucy's side.
It's not that I can't live without you
It's just that I don't even want to try
Every night I dream about you
Ever since the day we said goodbye
If I wasn't such a fool
Right now I'd be holding you
There's nothin' that I wouldn't do
Baby if I only knew
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart
"Well Im back... I know I told you that you were better without me... you are and maybe im being selfish but the truth is that I cant live without you Lucy Coe. Trust me Ive tried. I had a visit from Dominique... your right shes one smart lady. She said something about me not forgiving you with my whole heart and the only way to do that is to open up to you again. Im just so afraid of getting hurt again. Its not you I swear..... Its just that..... everyone has lied to me Grace, Victor, Ryan, .... my mother and I just loved you so much that I didnt want to think you could ever lie to me like that but than I realized why you did it you lied because you wanted to protect me... from what I dont know your going to have to answer that question what were you so afraid of if you told the truth? That I would think less of you? That I would hate you? What Lucy?" Kevin realized his voice was raising.
"Im sorry Lucy...so I guess thats what you were afraid of huh? That I would yell at you.... Im so sorry look at me getting completely off the subject.. What I orginally wanted to tell you was that..... my heart is open Lucy its yours if you still want it." Kevin finished gently squeezing her hand getting this odd feeling that she could hear him. He knew that clinicly she couldnt have... but he just knew she knew what he was thinking...what he was feeling.....
I don't know how it got so crazy
But I'll do anything to set things right
'Cause your love is so amazing
Baby you're the best thing in my life
Let me prove my love is real
And made you feel the way I feel
I promise I would give the world
If only you would tell me girl
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart
Kevin sobbed wishing that Lucy was able to hear him that she would be okay.. That she would forgive him
I turn back time
To make you mine
And find a way back to your heart
I beg and plead
Fall to my knees
To find a way back to your heart
Kevin sobbed harder pushing his head under Lucy's chin and whispered "I need you to live Lucy please you have to live" when he felt Lucy's hand lightly squeeze his.
I turn back time
To make you mine
And find a way back to your heart
I beg and plead
Fall to my knees
To find a way back to your heart
Kevin jumped up from the seat has Lucy's eyes began to flutter.
"S.....Scott......Sc....Scott........." Lucy mumbled attempting to open her eyes. Kevin let go of Lucy's hand has a hurt look crossed his face.
"No......just me"
"Kevin?!? What are you doing here?!?" Lucy asked startled finally opening both eyes.
"Nothing.......well something....... but it can wait I should go get a doctor" Kevin answered.
"A doctor? Where am I?" Lucy asked scanning the room. "Oh God what have I gotten myself into this time....." Kevin just had to laugh partly at the line and partly at the fact that she was really going to be alright.
"Your at General Hospital...has for what you got yourself into.... Im not really sure.......You and Scott were trapped in Florida left for dead. Eventually they sent out a search team looking for you both after the dental records from the other two dead bodies hadnt matched yours and Scott's They found Scott bruised up pretty badly but you already were in a coma when they found you... Your going to have to fill in the rest" Kevin explained.
"Scott?? Is he alright? Where is he?" Lucy asked with concern.
"Scott's fine...he should still be somewhere around here I could go get him if you like...." Kevin answered heading for the door. He could tell when he wasnt wanted. And he definatily wasnt wanted.
"No......Stay" Lucy said
"Are you sure? I mean Scott's right out there....."
"Really Doc i want you to stay Its just that......" Lucy hesitated.
"That....."
"Well That after the almost wedding and all I just thought that....well I thought we were over...."
"Actually Lucy that's what I wanted to talk to you about...." Kevin started before being interrupted by Alan who had just entered the room.
"Well look who's awake! We almost werent sure if you were going to make it" Alan said gleefully until he noticed Kevin sitting next to the bed "Oh I didnt realize I was interrupting" Alan contiued flashing Kevin a dirty look. Kevin didnt take notice he was becoming used to the dirty looks from Lucy's ex-husbands
"Dont think you were going to get rid of me that easily" Lucy playfully grinned.
"Trust me Ive noticed — Kevin I would like to examine Lucy if you dont mind-" Alan started.
"Of Course...." Kevin released Lucy's hand and headed out the door.
"Doc?" Lucy stopped him.
"What?"
"We'll have that talk later. Okay?"
"Alright" Kevin answered. When he exited the room he spotted Scott who quickly came towards him.
"Is she awake? Is she alright I just watched Alan go in...."
"Yes She's awake looks like shes going to be fine Alan is examining her right now" Kevin answered Scott nodded staring at the partly closed blinds of Lucy's hospital room
"You dont have to say Ill be here when she's done" Kevin explained.
"No I want to see her" Kevin nodded "Well im going to go get some fresh air" Scott nodded and Kevin left.
Kevin ran his fingers through his hair exhaling deeply. He thought it would be easier. His heart told him to go ahead and tell her beg her to forgive you to take you back. Let everything go back to the way it was before everything. But then there was his head screaming at him - She's only going to betray you again Kevin. You were just another one of her boy toys at the very most possibly something or was that someone to do before Scott decided to waltz back into her life... Just another guy to add to the list.... God he hated himself for thinking it but he couldnt help it. He tried staying focused on what Dominique told him. He had to stay focused. He wanted to forgive her but wasnt sure if he ever really could.
Scott entered Lucy's room. Alan had just left he said that Scott could stay but only for a little while - Lucy needed her rest. When he walked in towards Lucy's bed she immediatly sprang up.
"Oh Pal Your alright!" Lucy exclaimed wrapping her arms around Scott's neck.
"Of course Im alright Just a few cuts thats all no big deal. I was worried about you there for a while though"
"Well you dont have to I dont have any plans to go anywhere anytime soon" Lucy answered.
"And just think, if you kicked the bucket who would be there to strip in front of all of Port Charles at the Nurses Ball?" Scott joked.
"You could always fill in now that I think about it how much do you think having Scott Baldwin on stage in his undies get us..."
"Dont even think about it Lucy...."
"What I was just joking" Lucy answered innocently
"Yeah Right I dont like that look you were getting"
"Who me? What look?"
"You what look that look you get when your planning on a way of cornering people into performing at the Nurses Ball and im telling you right now - nothing doin'"
"We'll see.." Lucy mumbled under her breath. Giving a playful smile Scott smacked her leg
"Im starting to think I liked you better in the coma"
Kevin walked up to the now opened blinds of Lucy's room noticing Scott was there. A pang of hurt stabbed Kevin has he watched them playfully smack each other laughing constantly. Kevin turned away when Lucy and Scott hug again and Lucy rest her head on his shoulder. Finally in the battle of his head verses his heart it was final - his head had won out. He couldnt let go of those continious thoughts of betrayal. Kevin turned around and headed home.
After about 15 minutes of goofing off together Lucy stared out the window looking a million miles away.
"What is it?" Scott asked
"Nothing it's just that when i woke up Kevin was here he said he needed to talk to me about something and he hasnt come back yet so I dont know I just thought maybe he wanted to talk about us....."
"You really want him back dont you?"
"I love him Scott and I miss him I dont know maybe I was being naive but I really thought he wanted to work things out" Lucy said managing to hold back the tears though they shone through in her voice.
"Lucy I want to stop by Lee and Gail's and see Serena but Ill be back later if you want me too" Scott offered.
"No Pal ill be fine Could you do me one favor though?"
"Anything"
"If you see Kevin tell him that I want to see him and i think we need to talk
"Of course" Scott answered knowing he wasnt going to find Kevin Scott leaned over and kissed Lucy's cheek.
"I Love You"
"I Love You to Pal" Lucy answered back has Scott left the room.
I´m alone
Yeah, I don´t know if I can face the night
I´m in tears
And the cryin´ that I do is for you
I want your love, let´s break the walls between us
Don´t make it tough, I´ll put away my pride
Enough´s enough, I´ve suffered and I´ve seen the light
Lucy was tired but something in her didnt let her fall asleep. Some last ray of hope that Kevin would come back. The same hope that had gotten her through so many long nights without him.
You´re my angel
Come and save me tonight
You´re my angel
Come and make it alright
Don´t know what I´m gonna do
About this feeling inside
Yes, it´s true
Loneliness took me for a ride, ye-ah
Without your love, I´m nothing but a beggar
Without your love, a dog without a bone
What can I do, I´m sleepin´ in this bed alone
Kevin couldnt fall asleep millions of images flashed through his head. Of Lucy and Scott at the hospital. Of himself and Lucy their wedding day when his world was ripped apart. He knew he couldnt trust her but then why did he still love her so much?
You´re my angel
Come and save me tonight
You´re my angel
Come and make it alright
Come and save me tonight
You´re the reason I live
You´re the reason I die
You´re the reason I give
When I break down and cry
Don´t need no reason why
Baby, baby, baby
The tears spilled down Lucy's cheeks has she closed her eyes tightly trying to block out all the haunting images of Kevin screaming at her the hurt in his eyes when he found out she had been lying to him. She just wanted to forget. Forget all the hurt, the pain,.......but most of all the lies
You´re my angel
Come and save me tonight
You´re my angel
Come and make it alright
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
