| Chapter Eleven Luke and Laura�s wedding anniversary Lucky walked into the dark penthouse and almost thought it was empty. He was about to turn on the light but a voice for the dark startled him. �Don�t turn on the light.� Luke said in a drunken voice. Lucky realized what day it was and wasn�t to surprised to find Luke drunk. He found his father sitting on the couch looking at his mother�s wedding ring. �Dad are you all right?� Lucky asked. �Sure, my wife is dead and so is my daughter but I�m find.� Luke said sarcastically. Lucky almost thought about leaving but saw a gun lying down beside Luke and changed his mind. Lucky moved slowly and sat down in a chair. �Dad, What are you doing with the gun?� Lucky asked in a low voice. �I was going to end it but I changed my mind. I couldn�t leave you like that and not on this day. Lucky, I will always miss her but I have to put her away or loose myself completely.� Luke said. Lucky noticed the other ring beside Laura�s and realized what he meant. Lucky let out the breath he was holding. Luke wasn�t as gone as he looked. �I know and I have been waiting for you to do it.� Lucky said and joined him on the couch. He placed the gun a few feet away. �I think it is time we let go. Mom and Lu are gone and they aren�t coming back.� �Good bye Angel.� Luke said and placed the rings in a box and closed the lid. He locked the rings up in the safe and turned to Lucky. �You hungry.� �Sure, how about going out?� Lucky said. �Why not.� Luke said and grabbed his coat. Father and son headed to the door. Luke and Lucky were going to be all right. They would always miss Laura and Lu but things do move on. Luke and Lucky sat in the restaurant and in the background played a soft song. The tune reminded them of Laura but for the first time in a long while the pain was gone and the good memories were allowed to come out. Cross Christopher Another Page Think Of Laura Every once in a while I'd see her smile And she'd turn my day around A girl with those eyes Could stare through the lies And see what your heart was saying Think of Laura but laugh don't cry I know she'd want it that way When you think of Laura laugh don't cry I know she'd want it that way A friend of a friend A friend to the end That's the kind of girl she was Taken away so young Taken away without a warning I know you and you're here In every day we live I know her and she's here I can feel her when I sing Hey Laura, where are you now Are you far away from here I don't think so I think you're here Taking our tears away The End Go back to Goodbye Valentine |
