Chapter 10 Carly arrived at Spoon Island about an hour before Roy attacked Luke. �Hi, Carly,� Zander said looking up from his bookwork. �Hi, what are working on?� Carly asked her half brother as she walked toward him. �Chemistry,� Zander said rolling his eyes. �Eww. I hated that subject. I�m it is you not me,� Carly said looking around for a sign of life. �Where is everyone?� �Lucky is in his room. Stefan and Laura went to get Stefan new cloths. Nikolas is with Lu ridding Sheba and Uncle Mikkos is taking a nap,� Zander said glad that Carly came by. It got him out of working on Chemistry at this moment. �Why is Stefan getting new clothes?� Carly said reading in between the lines and he had a feeling Lucky was behind all of it. �Sit down and fill you in,� Zander said grinning as he pointed the chair beside him. Carly listened as Zander told her about the events that she missed last night and this morning. �You mean, he broke the dishes, the fabrasha eggs and cut up everything Stefan owned and Uncle Mikkos didn�t blink an eye?� Carly asked Zander. �Nope. Father was calm as well. I would have got my butt beat if I were but he walked away with a book report,� Zander said with this cocky grin on his face. �Zander, I think there is a double standard here and Lucky is on the good side of this,� Carly said frustrated about hearing all of this. �Nikolas said the same thing. He thinks Lucky should have gotten more then book report,� Zander commented. Mikkos came downstairs right then and Carly looked up at him and demanded. �I think you have finally lost your mind,� Carly said to him. �Pardon?� Mikkos said wondering what got his niece in an uproar now. �You heard me. Lucky acted like a brat and you let him off with a book report,� Carly snapped at him. Mikkos smiled at her with this half grin as he walked down the stairs. He got the pair and sat down across from them. �I guess it would like that if I were on your point of view but you two grew up as Cassadines. Nikolas has as well. Lucky hadn�t and he has been dealing with a lot with Luke in prison. I see that and I have adapted my way of thinking with him,� Mikkos said to them. �A little bit to much,� Carly snapped. �What did you want me to do? Spank him? Carly, he is little big for that and I don�t think the other methods would work either. Talking to Lucky works better long run. You get places with him,� Mikkos told her. Carly thought about this and she realized that Mikkos was right. She got more from Lucky when they talked like equals then she did when she treated like a child. �I think I got it. I am just shocked that you did,� Carly said grinning at Mikkos. �Well, your reports helped me figure it out besides I think most of Lucky�s rage is directed at Stefan. I just have to find away to get the boy to ease up a bit,� Mikkos told her. �Good luck. Lucky hates Stefan and I hate say this. I don�t blame him. I don�t guy much myself,� Carly admitted. �You, two?� Zander giggled. �You are as bad as your father,� Mikkos said and he got up leaving two along to talk. ******************************************************** Laura and Stefan came back a little while later and by this time Lucky was down stairs sitting with his feet up on the coffee table reading. Lucky looked up and glared at Stefan. �Find anything that fits you?� Lucky asked in a sarcastic tone of voice. Stefan ignored Lucky and headed up stairs to direct the staff in where to put things. Laura moved to her son and sat in the chair that was beside him. �Don�t you think you should give this a break?� Laura asked Lucky. �I�ll give him a break,� Lucky muttered. �That isn�t what I meant and you know it,� Laura said hitting Lucky�s feet and he put his legs down. �I didn�t say anything this morning because I was worried about your safety but now that Mikkos dealt out his punishment. It is my turn.� �What are you ground me?� Lucky asked coldly. �I�m going to do more then that. You know that money you get from the club?� Laura said giving Lucky a stern look. �Yeah,� Lucky said not liking any of this. �You are going to pay back Stefan every penny that it took to replace his things,� Laura told Lucky. �What? You�re joking,� Lucky yelled shocked that his mother would even come up with this idea. �No, I�m not. Last night I over looked. You were hurt because of what you found out. I can live with that but what you did to Stefan was going too far and I�m not putting up with it any more. You can�t change the fact that your father and me are no more. I can�t get Luke out of prison any faster. You can�t turn back time and change any of this. So, you have to deal with it and if you do another stunt like this your not going to club very long time. Are we clear on this?� Laura asked Lucky. �Yes,� Lucky said in a frustrated tone of voice. Laura looked at him her eyes softening just a bit. �Lucky, I love you. I know you are hurting. I know you are lonely but taking it out on Stefan isn�t helping anything,� Laura told him. �You don�t even know what he said,� Lucky said in a cold tone of voice. �More about the rape?� Laura asked. �Yeah, and more,� Lucky said feeling frustrated. �Did he say it to you or did over hear him talking?� Laura asked. �I over heard it,� Lucky admitted. �What did you over hear?� Laura asked getting to her knees and lifting her son�s head up to face her. Lucky sighed and told her. Laura listened to Lucky and when he was done she said, �Stefan admitted this to me about year ago. I was at him at first and didn�t look at him then I realized that he didn�t tell me. He could have kept it to himself but he didn�t. He knew he messed up and he has been trying to protect us from Helena ever since.� �You forgave him? Why?� Lucky asked. �The same reason I forgave your father. I care about him. I want him in life and I have to except his flaws along with the other stuff,� Laura told Lucky. �Your nuts. You know that,� Lucky said to his mother in a cold tone of voice. �Lucky,� Laura begged. �NO, I�m not hearing it. If you want Stefan fine, have him! Just don�t ask me to respect the guy. I won�t and nothing say to me can change my mind,� Lucky said and he got up and walked away. Laura sat in the chair and cried. She wanted Lucky to accept this so bad that every tried to make him understand. She ended up making things worse. �Why can�t I talk to like your father?� Laura asked herself as she thought of her son and the bond that he had with his father. ****************************************************** Alex rushed into the ER room and found Luke laying on a gurney with blood coving him. �How bad is it?� she asked as she rushed in quickly taking over. �I�m fine,� Luke snapped. He woke up about five minutes ago. He thought he was prison hospital. He had no idea they transferred him to GH. �I�ll be judge of that,� Alex said taking a scissors and cutting the top of Luke�s jump suit. �Anna?� Luke said thinking he had just died because seeing ghosts. �Sorry, that�s my sister. I�m Alex. Now, calm down and relax,� Alex told him as she worked. �You heard her,� Bobbie said coming into the room to help. �Barbara?� Luke said puzzled. �What are you doing here?� �I�m helping you. Now let us,� Bobbie said gripping Luke�s hand for a moment then she went work. ********************************** Victor had called Mikkos and told him about Luke. Mikkos found Lucky standing a lone with tears in his eyes in the garden moments later. �We have to go to General Hospital,� Mikkos said to his grandson. �Why? What happened?� Lucky asked brushing tears off his cheeks with his shirtsleeve. �It�s your father. He was stabbed and they took him to General Hospital for treatment,� Mikkos said. �No,� Lucky said thinking the worst already. �Don�t worry. Victor said Alex is with him and she will do everything she can to help him. Now, let�s go,� Mikkos said and he put his arm around Lucky�s shoulder and they walked off together. Once the house heard Luke was hurt everyone including Stefan went along to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital Robert and Victor were yelling at each other. �You put Roy in that prison to protect Luke. So, Scorpio the way I see it. You caused this,� Victor yelled. �Me? How did I know you didn�t do it?� Robert yelled. �You have lost your mind. Why would I hurt my own nephew?� Victor yelled. �He isn�t your nephew,� Robert snapped at him. �Stop it,� Amy yelled breaking in between the both of them. This isn�t the place for this. Now either grow up or get out,� Amy said looking at both of them. �She is right,� Mikkos said smiling at Amy. �They will behave.� �I hope so,� Amy snapped and she went off to do her work. Mikkos looked at his brother and asked, �How is Luke?� �I don�t know yet,� Victor said eyeing Robert one more time then he went to join the rest of his family. Lucky sat down on a bench looking very pale and scared. "You ok?� victor asked. �Roy hurt dad?� Lucky asked. �That is what I was told. Roy was knocked out and Luke was transferred here,� Victor told Lucky wrapping his arm around the kids shoulder. �He will ok right?� Lucky asked. �Sure he will,� Carly said smiling at Lucky as she sat down on the other side of Lucky. Robert and Sonny watched this getting this growing feeling dread. Lucky acted like he liked these people and they both knew this idea wasn�t going to sit well with Luke at all. �I�m going to ask what is going on,� Robert said leaving Sonny around to look after Lucky. Jason walked forward and smiled at Carly. �Hi,� Jason said. �Hi,� Carly said and she looked at her father. �Father, this isn�t the right time but I would like you to meet Jason.� �Hello,� Victor said eyeing the young man that has caught his daughter�s attention. �Hello, sir,� Jason said holding out his hand to Victor. They shook and then Jason bent down to look at Lucky. �How you doing?� �Ok, I guess,� Lucky said smiling at his friend. �Don�t worry Luke will be fine,� Jason promised Lucky. The stood up then gave Carly a hug in greeting and stood with the rest of the Cassadines as they waited on news about Luke. Chapter 11 Back to A Father's Love |
