The date is April 15, 2004. It is the day before the five year anniversary of Lucky Spencer's death. Lucky really did die in the fire back on April 16, 1999. Emily and Elizabeth are now 21 and they share a condo in port Charles. Emily is now a peofessional model and is dating a guy named Chris. Elizabeth has an art dregee and works in an art stduio downtown. She however has not had any relationships in the last five years. Elizabeth has never gotten over Lucky. Apart of her died with him and she has never been the same. She rarely smiles and wont even consider opening her heart to anyone again.
Emily just came home from work and Liz is in the living room paiting.
Emily: Hey Liz. Well I just had the worst day at work. The photo shoot went all wrong and i got stuck with the photographer from hell. Liz are you listening to me?
Liz continues to paint and completely ignors Emily
Emily: And a big UFO just ladnded in the living room. Liz hello! Liz snap out of it.
Liz: What, oh hi Em, I did not hear you come in.
Emily: Yeah I noticed. Where were you?
Liz: Sorry I just was consentrating
Emily: Liz come on how long have we've been friends now? I think I know what is bothering you.
Liz: No EM you cant.
Emily: Look Liz I miss him too. But it is almost five years, dont you think you should....well.
Liz: What Em? Let go, move on with me life, forget about him
Emily: I wan't going to say that.
Liz: Yes you were. That is what everyone has been telling me for all these years. You, Luke, Laura, everyone. Move on with your life he would want you to. Well you know what, I dont want to. I dont want to move on and I dont want to let go. And I sure as hell dont want to be with anyone else. No one can do for me what he did, no one.
Emily: Liz I understand.
Liz: Do you? Do you really Em? Because if you did you would would not be pressuring me to forget him.
Emily: I dont want you to forget, I dont see how you could. I mean it just that well you still wear his ring. And you dont open yourself up to new things.
Liz: New things like another guy right.
Emily: Liz i am not going to force you to anything you dont want to do, but i am just worried about you and i just want you to be happy.
Liz: I know and what would really make me happy is if eveyone would just leave me alone.
Emily: Ok, Liz just know i am here for you, whatever you need i am here
Liz: Thanks
Emily walks over to liz and gives her a hug and then Liz goes up to her room and closes the door behind her. Liz laid down on her bed and a single tear fell from her eye. She reached under the bed and pulled out a shoe box. In the box were pictures of mostly her and Lucky. She found the pictures from the New York photo booth. She also found the Christmas picture that was taken in Lucky's room back in 1998. Liz put the lid back on the box and slid it back under her bed. She laid down back on her bad and grabbed the picture that was on her night table, It was the picture of her and Lucky from the No Name. They were so happy then. Liz held the picture closr to her heart and the tears just streamed down her face. She cried herself to sleep clutching the picture.
The next morning Liz woke up still hanging on to the picture. The sun was shinning. It was a beautiful day. Liz got up from her bed and walked over to her window.
Liz: 5 years
Liz got dressed and walked into the kitchen. Em was already awake and on her second cup of tea.
Emily: Hey morning
Liz: morning
Emily: You okay?
Liz: Fine
Emily: Listen, I have plans with Chris today, but i dont have to go if you dont want me to.
Liz: No dont be silly. I can do this, I can get through this day on my own.
Emily: are you sure
Liz: Yeah dont worry about me
Emily: ok well i am only a phone call away if you need me.
Liz: Thanks but i wont.. Now go dont make Chris wait
Emily: Ok i'll see you later.
Emily left and Liz got her things together and left the condo. All the places she had to go were in walking distance so she decided to walk since it was a nice day. Liz was walking down 8th street to go to the florist. Before she got there she passed Eli's, Lucky's favorite fast food place. She was flooded with memories about the time Lucky first took her there after she got the results from her first HIV test. If Eli's ribs were the last food on earth Lucky would be completely happy.. Liz gathered her thoughts and continued to walk to the florist. Liz baught two long stem white roses. After the florsit she walked tow block to the cemetary. Liz made her way to Lucky's grave. When she got there she could fell her eyes start to swell up. She read the headstone over and over again.
Lucas Lorenzo Spencer Jr. Liz walked over to the grave and sat down right beside it on the green grass, She placed the two roses infront of the headstone. One for her and one for lucky. Liz ran her fingers accross the letters on the headstone and started to cry.Lucky
Beloved son, brother, and friend
May 11, 1982
April 16, 1999
Liz: Hi, Its Elizabeth, but i guess you already know that. I cant beleive it has been five years since i lost you. It feels like yesterday we were together and happy. (crying harder) Lucky I miss you so much and no matter how hard i try i just cant let go. I cant let go of you of us. I still love you so much. I cant let go.
Liz cups her face is her hands and just sobs. she feels a hand on her shoulder. She looks up and it is Laura. Liz stands up and looks at Lucky's mother and cries. Laura embarrasses her.
Laura: Shhh its okay Elizabeth let it out.
Liz: I miss him so much and the pain wont go away.
Laura: I know I know
Liz breaks the embrase and Laura puts some flowers down on Lucky's grave. Liz and Laura go to sit down n a bench right by Lucky's grave.
Liz: I cant believe it has been five years. I mean it feels like yesterday i was 16 and was with Lucky. We were so happy and so in love. I cant let that go.
Laura: It took me a while to say good bye
Liz: How did you do it.
Laura: Oh Elizabeth it is different for eveyone. Everyone grieves differently. I guess it just happens. For me i knew i had to let Lucky go for LuLu. I realized Lucky would want me to carry on for her. I mean it was up to me to remind her of her brother and i could not do that if i was hanging on to him. I had to let go for my daughter. It was the hardest thing i ever had to do in my life. Elizabeth it is not wrong that you cant let go. You and Lucky shared something very special and for you to want to hang on to that is not wrong.
Liz: I know but it had been five years, If i haven't done it by now i am not sure i ever will.
Laura: You will one day. You will know when it is time.
Liz: I loved him so much and i still do. It is just getting harder and harder.
Laura: I know come here.
Laura took Liz in her arms and held her as Liz cried. A few minutes later Liz picked her head up.
Liz: I am sorry
Laura: No dont be. Are you ready to go?
Liz: yeah
Liz and Laura walked back over to Lucky's grave holding each others hands.
Laura: I love you Lucky
Liz and Laura left together. Laura gave Liz a ride home and the two wonen hugged and liz got out of the car. Liz walked in the condo and Emily was still out with Chris. Since she had the house to herself, Liz decided she would take a nap. Liz walked into her room and crashed on her bed. She quickly feel asleep and began to have a dream.
Liz's Dream at kelly's
Liz found herslef standing in kelly's. There were candles everywhere.
Liz: Hello is there anyone here.
a voice: Hello Elizabeth.
Liz turned around
Liz: Lucky
Lucky: Hey beautiful
Liz: is it really you?
Lucky: What do you think.
Liz: can i touch you?
Lucky: of course
Lucky walked over to Liz and took her hand and placed it on his chest. He then took her in his arms and held her.
Liz: I've missed you so much
Lucky: I miss you too, but i cant stay Elizabeth, I only came to help you.
Liz: Help me? do what?
Lucky: Let me go
Liz: No Lucky i dont want to
Lucky: Eloizabeth you have to. You have to get on with your life. You have to move on.
Liz: No not without you,
Lucky: Elizabeth if i could be here with you, you know i would. If i could take your pain away i would. (Tears form in his eyes) Elizabeth you still have your life. You have to live. I dont have my life any more and i cant let you live as if you lost yours. You have so much love inside you. You have to try and find someone else who you can love and who can love you.
Liz: I dont want anyone else. I want you back
Lucky: Elizabeth i am a memory now. You have to move on. You have your whole life ahead of you, you have your paintings. I will always be in your heart. I'll never really leave you. I will always be with you. I love you.
Liz: I love you too Lucky
Lucky: Well if you love me then you will do me this one last favor and let me go.
Liz: No i cant please
Lucky: You have to Elizabeth. Promise me you will let go and move on.
Liz" No please
Lucky: Do it for me. Promise me Elizabeth.
Liz: (Crying) I....I promise
Lucky; I have to go now.
Liz: No Lucky please dont leave me
Lucky: Its ok, you will be okay now. I will always be with you. (Lucky kisses Liz) Remember me Elizabeth. Remember
Liz: Please dont go
Lucky: Good bye Elizabeth, i love you. Remember
Liz: I will i promise.....I love you Lucky
Lucky disappeared nto the light and Liz woke up. She felt so close to Lucky right then. Liz got up from her bed and walked over to her dresser and opened her jewelry box. She pulled out a box from the bottom drawer. She opened it. Inside was Lucky's subway token and the charm bracelet he gave her for her 16th birthday. Liz took a deep breath and slowly began to remove the ring Lucky gave her from her finger. She braught it up to her quivering lips and kissed it.
Liz: I love you and i will always remember
Liz took the ring and put in the box and then put the box bck in her jewlery box. Liz just stood there for a few minutes and then she finially let herself say the words she thought she would never say.
Liz: Good Bye
Liz walked out of her room and went downstais knowing she would always love Lucky. She knew he would always be safe in her heart, but it was time to move on with her life. Liz knew she could do it because Lucky would always be right by her side. Today and Forever.
The End
