Emily took a deep breath and started across the Luke's Place parkinglot.
Just then an ambulance peeled in. She rushed in the club, her heart in
her throat. 'Oh, god! LUCKY!' Her brain screamed.
She looked at the bar and immediately saw Lucky, crouched on the floor,
Taggert trying to get him to talk. ''Listen Spencer, I realize that I'm
the last person you want to talk to, but, ya goota kid. I have to know
what happened here...'' He was using a soothing tone and Emily could see
actual compassion in his eyes.
She walked up and knelt in front of Lucky. He looked up at her, tears
streaming unchecked down his face. ''Oh, Lucky, what happened?''
Sobs racked his body, ''Emily, my dad...'' He stopped, too choked up
to speak, and Emily hugged him to her, willing herself to be strong for
him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bobby Spencer Sat down. ''Whew, finally, my shift is over. She looked
up as the interns rushed another patient in. She was releived that her
duty was over for the day. ''Wait, is that...''
''Aunt Bobby?'' Lucky ran over to her, hugging her sobbing.
Bobby leaned back. ''Lucky, what is it? Is it Lizzie?''
''No...no..it's...it's...Dad.'' Lucky fell to the floor and hugged
himself, rocking back and forth, unable to stand on his own any longer.
Emily leaned over to comfort him. Bobbie rushed over to her brother.
What she saw shocked her to the core. His wrists were cut, as well
as his arms. His face ws deathly white and chalky. 'My God, he looks already
dead.' Bobby started to shake uncontrollably. ''LUKE!!!''
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The phone rang at Windemere. ''Cassidine....Yes....What?....You are
sure?.....Yes, thank you very much Barbara...Goodbye.'' Stefan set the
phone and slowly turned to Nicholas.
Nicholas glared at him waiting for him to explain his parentage. Something
in his eyes told him somthing was wrong. ''Uncle, what is it?''
''Nicholas I'm sorry. Lucky is at the hospitol..''
''What?!''
''Wait. Lucky is at the hospitol with his dad. Apparently he found
him lying in the floor of his study this morning.'' Nicholas turned and
rushed out. ''nicholas, do you wish for me to come?''
''You've done QUITE enough!'' With that, Nicholas ran out the door.
''Oh God, Lucky I'm comming.'' He muttered to himself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elizabeth sat on her couch, waiting for Lucky to come to his senses
and come to her. Frankly she was more than a little miffed that he hadn't
yet.
''Just then her phone rang. She lunged at it. ''Lucky?''
''Liz, no, this is your grandmother.''
''Oh, hey Gram...'' Liz was dissapointed.
''Liz, perhaps you should get down here.'' Audrey told her.
''Why, Gram, has something happened?''
''Yes Liz. Luke was just brought into the emergency. I think it's your
turn to be here for Lucky dear'' Liz's eyes widened.
''Gram, I'll be right there.'' She hung up the phone. She grabbed her
coat and started out the door. Suddenly she stopped and looked at the phone.
Finally she walked back over to it, picked it up, and dialed. ''Hello?
Laura...?''
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nicholas plowed into many people as he rushed into the ER. He spotted
Lucky immediately. ''Lucky?'' He turned his brother around. His eyes were
filled with pain and he hugged himself feircely. Nicholas grabbed Lucky
and pulled him in for a hug. Finally Lucky let go and hugged him back forcibly,
shaking with emotion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liz walked over to Emily as soon as she arrived. ''Em, what happened?''
They watched the brothers scene.
Emily looked over at her, her eyes filled with tears. She started to
speak, but only succeded in a sob. Liz hugged her.
Just then Laura walked in. ''Lucky, Nicholas, what happened?'' She
said as she walked up to her two boys. They jumped apart, startled. As
recognition registered on Lucky's face, so did outrage.
''Waht happened? What HAPPENED?!'' He roared, catching attention of
the whole room. ''YOU HAPPENED!!!''
Laura's body wracked with sobs. ''Son...''
''NO! Mother, if he...if he DIES, know that it is your fault!'' LAura's
face registered shock. ''Mother, he tried to commit suicide, all because
of you and your SLUTTY ways!!!'' With that Laura slapped him.
Nicholas forcefully grabbed his mother's arms. ''Don't.....you....
dare...ever...touch...him...like....that...again...while....I'm...around''He
said in a menacingly low voice. Then he let a trembling Laura go.
''Oh, mother mother. Resorting to hitting now?'' Lucky touched his
cheek where she had slapped him He tried not to show emotionLaura sobbed.
''Lucky!'' she pleaded.
Lucky stared at her. ''How the hell did you even know about this?''
''Elizabeth told me.''
Elizabeth felt the color drain from her face. 'Oh God.' Lucky turned
to face her, his face looking hurt. Then slowly it changed. It changed
into something she never imagined Lucky could ever feel towards her. Pure
hatred. ''How could you Elizabeth? How DARE YOU!'' Lucky spun around on
his heel and walked out of the ER.
