| Chapter Five Sonny took all night but finally when Luke joined him at breakfast the old Luke Spencer was with him. �I made a fool of myself and I�m sorry. I think I owe you more then just a thanks. I think you kept my business working while I was out of it.� Luke said sitting down at the table. �Let�s just say, your lucky that you have any one working for you. I did have to double their salaries.� Sonny said with a smile. �I did more then that. I have been yelling at Lucky a lot lately. He has been bugging me to sale the house but I refused. He�s right we are dying in that place. Laura wanted it and she everywhere. Sonny, could you help us find something that the both of us could make a home? Luke asked. �I have the place that fits the bill. I bought Katherine Bell�s old place. You can buy it from me and this way. If you start slipping I can stop you from going to far. I do think getting rid of the house is for best for the both of you. What are you going to do about Lucky�s school. Laura�s wishes were plan no matter what happened she wanted him to go to collage.� Sonny said. �I thought of that. I did promise her that and I think finding someone to help him get caught up over the summer might help. You think you can talk to the school for me. I am not on best of terms with the Vice Principle. We end up yelling at each other every time. I left that man to Laura.� Luke said. �I think he will do everything we want.� Sonny said with a smile. ~~~~~~~~~~ Luke found Lucky and Bobbie sitting at her table talking and eating breakfast. Luke noticed for the first time how bad Lucky looked. He wondered if the kid ate anything the past few months. Lucky was enjoying himself for the first time in along time. He jumped when the door opened and Luke stood there in the doorway. �I have to go Aunt Bobbie.� Lucky said and looked at his father to see what mood he was in. Luke noticed this and winced inwardly. Has he been that bad over the past months that even Lucky jumps at the sight of him. Bobbie was glaring at him and he knew he was in for it from her. �Sit and eat. We don�t have to leave. I think we all need to talk. First, I have been acting like a jerk and I�m sorry.� Luke said and sat down. �You hungry?� Bobbie asked. �No, Sonny had breakfast ready when I woke up.� Luke said looking at Lucky. He was staring at him and Luke could tell he was trying to figure out how to start. �Cowboy, I know I haven�t been the greatest person to live with and I�m sorry. You took a lot of crap from me lately and you were right when you said that place was killing us. Sonny offered me Kat�s old penthouse. You want it and we will move in as soon as possible.� �You mean it?� Lucky asked. �Yes, I think it is time to move on. I will always miss Laura and Lu but if we don�t start doing something then we are as good as dead.� Luke said. �Your back.� Lucky said more as a statement then a question. He looked at his father and saw the man he used to love and respect. �I�m back and I�m not going anywhere for a very long time.� Luke said. Lucky stood up they hugged. Lucky felt safe around his father again and the fear of loosing him was gone. Bobbie watched the two of them and said, �About time. Luke, we were about to give up on you.� �Sis, you have my permission to kick my ass if I get that way again.� Luke said to her. �I will do that and so will Ruby. You�re in for it when you see her next.� Bobbie warned him. �I figured a lot of people are ready to kill me. I�m amazed you didn�t come in and offer Lucky a home a long time ago.� Luke said. �I was going to but it would have just made you worse. The only person who kept you from going over the edge was Lucky. Edward Quartermaine said something at the funeral and I have a few choice words for him the next time we meet.� Bobbie said. Luke looked at her and she told him what Edward said and how it kept Lucky coming to them for help. �I will wring that old man�s neck. He has no right sticking his noise in my family�s life.� Luke growled. �Luke, I�m glad to see you are back to normal. So, big brother what�s the plan?� Bobbie asked. �You want to call my friends and family who are willing to talk to me. I don�t want to go through that house alone. We need to start over but getting rid of everything isn�t right either.� �Your friends haven�t left you we just been staying out of your way. You have been a bear lately.� Bobbie said. �I wasn�t that bad.� Luke said in his defense. �Yes you were.� Bobbie and Lucky said together. �I said I was sorry.� Luke said. �What more do you want from me. I don�t say that very often.� �I know we were just joking with you. It�s been a long time since you have been about to do that.� Bobbie said. The Spencers sat around talking about things that needed to be done before moving. Sonny was having the place cleaned and all the systems checked out. It would be ready by the end of the week. Bobbie told Luke and Lucky to say with her until they were set up in the new house. She didn�t want then to go back the way they were. The next day all of the family and friends Bobbie could find were going to be at the house to get it ready for sale. Chapter 6 Go back to Goodbye Valentine |
