Luke got up and walked towards his office. “Dad, where ya
goin?” Lucky slurred. ‘Quit that man!’ he yelled at himself
to stop slurring. Then he laughed. It was pretty funny.
Nicholas and he caught eyes and they cracked up.
Luke looked back at them. “to my office to..uh…think.
Don’t worry bout me, just need to lay down. He walked in his office
and sat behind his desk. He pulled his familiear bottle of whiskey,
good ole whiskey, to him. He poured himself another glass (about
the tenth that night). “Cheers, baby, you see what you’ve done to
me? Proud of yourself? You have fun with Count Vlad, I’ll have
fun with Mr. Jack Daniels!” He rose his glass in an imaginary toast
to Laura and smiled sarcastically.
“Hey, Nick? Do you think I should be worried about my dad?
He’s kinda drunk, don ya thin?”
“I ‘thin’ you’re kinda drunk Lucky.” Nicholas shook his
head at Lucky.
“Yeah, but at least I can not have to think about mom and be
mad for once.” Lucky silghed.
‘God, he’s gone!’ Nicholas thought to himself. ‘I’d
better get him upstairs and to bed before he passes out or hurts himself.’
Outloud he said “Yeah, but you do know it’s only temporary Lucky, right?”
“Yeah, yeah. Prince knows best right. Well listen,
you might be my brother, but don’t act like it okay.” Lucky shook
his head, annoyed. ‘The nerve of that guy!’
“Whatever Lucky, listen, let’s go up to your room, I beat.”
Completely oblivious that Nicholas had spoken Lucky, continued.
“Besides, you had some too. Who are you to talk. Just shutup
man. I’m goin to my room, are you commin or not?”
Nicholas eyed Lucky wearily. He didn’t feel like dealing
with this. First, his uncle turns out to be his father, then, like
an idiot, he kisses Emily, and possibly ruins their friendship, and now
Lucky is drunk. He had enough problems without having to fight the
stupid “Cassidine vs. Spencer” battle. He slowly trudged up the stairs
after his brother, dreading the what lay ahead.

“Laura, what are you talking about? What happened to them?
Are they okay? They’re not…hurt are they?” Liz asked, worried.
“Oh, Liz, they’re hurt alright, just not the way you mean.”
“Then how Laura?” Liz sat by Laura and put her hand on
top of Laura’s. Laura smiled at the sweet gesture.
“I’ve betrayed them. I betrayed Luke with Stefan, I’ve
betrayed Nicholas with lies, and I’ve betrayed Lucky’s trust. I’ll
never get them back. I’ve lost them forever.”
“With Stefan…?”
“Yes. Liz, he kissed me, Stefan did, and that’s when Luke
showed up. I had no idea he was even ion town, else I would have
never let him in the house…”
“Laura, don’t make excuses to me…I’m not the one you should
be worried about.”
“You’re right. And Lucky and Nicholas watched the whole
thing. It was horrible.” Liz stood up slowly. “I suppose
you hate me as well to huh?”
“No, it’s just, well, I feel like I’m betraying Lucky by helping
you when he’s hurt…”
Laura smiled at her. She was a loyal girl, and anyone loyal
to her Lucky was someone she liked, even if it was against her. “Go,
Liz, I understand. Go be with Lucky.”
Liz backed towards the door. “It’s nothing personal, you
understand…”
“Yes, dear, I understand…Shoo!” Laura halfway smiled a
tearful smile at her. With that Elizabeth shut the door and left
to find Lucky. Laura broke down in hysterics again. “God,
what have I done to deserve this!”
