Chapter 31 Lucky and Nikolas weren�t having fun at all locked up in that room. Both of them had started going stir crazy being locked up as long as they had been. They were starting to fight more and more as time went on. Nikolas had just taken a shower and it was Lucky�s turn. He walked into the shower and saw the mess Nikolas had left him. Lucky picked up the wet towel that was on the floor walked back into the other room and flung it at Nikolas. �You slop,� Lucky yelled. �Hey, what is that far?� Nikolas snapped throwing the wet towel on to the floor at his feet. �Because you can�t pick after yourself. You can�t even make your own bed! I can�t wait to see you survive the real world when you are older. I bet you will not make it over a mouth,� Lucky yelled at Nikolas. �Oh, you do better?� Nikolas snapped at Lucky. Lucky pointed to his bed that was made up nicely and said, �I think that shows that I can do something. I can even cook and clean. A few little things you can�t do. I even know how to work for what I get and respect it. You don�t. You don�t even respect others property,� Lucky yelled. �You do? You destroyed a dish set that was given to one of our ancestors by Catharine the great!� Nikolas snapped. �Well, we even then. You trashed my guitar. I worked for all summer for that and you acted like it was nothing. That dish set and those eggs were given to you. Name one thing that you worked to get!� Lucky yelled at Nikolas. Nikolas couldn�t. He didn�t know how work for what he had. He needed it and got it. Lucky on the other hand knew what work meant and took care of what he had. Nikolas knew this but until now he didn�t understand how it hurt Lucky for seeing it destroyed. �No, I haven�t for what I had but I know how to resect the past. You don�t!� Nikolas snapped at Lucky. �Respect what? Guess what Nikky boy this family is full of killers! They stab each other in the back and worse. One even had her kid stuffed. So, don�t tell me to respect this family. There is nothing to respect! Not one think they have done is worth talking about,� Lucky yelled. �And the Spencer family is?� Nikolas yelled. �We aren�t saints but were monsters either but that isn�t what gets me the most. What I don�t get is why you are so perfect! Why my mother turned her back on me for you! Why because she felt guilty for walking away all those years ago? If that is the case it isn�t my fault. I should have to suffer for it! She should at least deal with me sometimes. Hell, I would have at least taken her remembering my own birthday but no she had to worry the prince. Well, you can have her. In fact, you can all of this,� Lucky said with tears in his eyes. He turned around and head for the bathroom. Nikolas reached out put his hand on Lucky�s shoulder and said, �I know what it feels like. I lost more then one birthday. I lost holidays and all of that because she couldn�t love me. She couldn�t take me with her. I don�t know why? I really not care. All I know it still hurts thinking about it,� Nikolas said. Listening in, Luke and Stefan looked at Laura who stood there crying. Neither of them knew what to tell her. What could they tell her? It wasn�t all her fault but then again she wasn�t blameless either. Laura finally heard enough and ran out of the room. Luke looked at Stefan said, �Go after her.� �Do you think she would want me to?� Stefan asked. �No, but she needs you to,� Luke said and he turned back to listen to more of the boys� conversation while Stefan went after Laura. Lucky and Nikolas both looked at each other not really knowing what to do. Nikolas finally said, �You know, I am starting to realize that I�m not mad at you. I�m mad at mom but hating you is easier.� �Yeah, I know. I guessed it helped that she shoved you on me,� Lucky said dropping down on his bed feeling exhausted at this moment for some reason. �Well, for what is worth, I kind of wanted you to want me around. I just didn�t know how to ask,� Nikolas said. �It wouldn�t helped. I was mad at you, mom and Stefan. Nikolas, I lost the person that I needed the most and didn�t know it until he was gone. Dad was my best friend. I talked him more then I did anyone else. I told him everything but then it was like nothing. I had no idea how to act after that point. I wanted mom to help but she was gone. First Lu got sick and then you showed up and it was like I was shoved away that hurt,� Lucky admitted. �I know. Stefan was the only person that I had besides Alexis. I didn�t have friends growing up. I was kind of jealous at how many liked you,� Nikolas said. �They don�t know me. Oh, Emily does now because I vented on her more then I did anyone else. Most of them see me differently then dad did,� Lucky said. Nikolas understood this and looked at the door. �You want to try to get along?� Nikolas asked Lucky. Lucky looked over at the door and said, �Why not. We don�t have chose besides I don�t have anger left in me towards you. Oh, I�m still upset with mom but then there is a part of me that realizes that she didn�t do this to hurt me. She just was trying to cope alone,� Lucky said finally. The door opened and Luke stood in the hallway and said, �I�d tell her that.� Lucky looked around the room and then back at his father and asked, �Where�s the bug?� �Nikolas' case,� Luke said with a smile on his face. �I thought there was but I didn�t have the heart to look. Can we leave?� Lucky asked finally. �Sure,� Luke said and he stepped out of the way. Lucky and Nikolas both stood up and headed for the door. Lucky had stopped in front of his father and said, �You know this room wasn�t for us but you and Stefan. I found a box cigars in the drawer over there. I guess he thought you two wouldn�t get along. I want to know why you are acting the way you are?� Lucky asked his father. Luke looked at Lucky and said, �I�m tired Cowboy. I spent two years of my life locked up. I have no idea how to act at this moment but don�t worry. I�m still here but it is taking awhile for me to come around,� Luke told him and he hugged Lucky. �She loves you.� He whispered in Lucky�s ear. �I know but I�m just to angry at this moment,� Lucky said and he walked to his room. Nikolas went with him and Luke saw something that he didn�t expect. Nikolas had put his hand on Lucky�s shoulder. Mikkos had seen this as well and said as he walked up behind Luke. �Now that is improvement.� �Yeah, well Lucky is lonely and needs a friend right now,� Luke said and he started to walk away. �Luke, I know what it is like for those doors to close. I been there and if you want talk about it. I�m here,� Mikkos offered. Luke stopped and turned around to face Mikkos. �I don�t need you. I never needed you. You might have put me on this planet but I still don�t care about you. I pull myself out that gutter that was my life. I made Luke Spencer and nothing you can say can change who I am. I�ll deal with how I�m feeling now the same way,� Luke said and with that he walked away. Mikkos shock his and wondered when his children were going to stop hating him. He wanted to make up for some of their pain but they were just not letting him. ***************************** Stefan found Laura in the garden. �You ok?� He asked as he walked up to her. �My sons� hate me,� Laura cried as she buried her head in Stefan�s shoulder. �No, they don�t hate you. They are angry and if it helps. I caused some of your troubles. I told Nikolas those lies about you and got him to hate Lucky. I enjoyed watching Lucky suffer because my son suffered but I did it. I could have come to you a long time ago but I didn�t. I kept on blaming Luke for all of it,� Stefan said as he held on to Laura. �I could taken him with me,� Laura said. �No, she would have killed you and Luke to get Nikolas back. What should have done is that I brought your son to you,� Stefan told her and he lifted her head to his and kissed her lips lightly. �I�m sorry.� �I guess we all messed up. You with how you dealt with Nikolas and me with Lucky. Stefan, I remember forgetting his birthday and tired to make up for it but he wouldn�t let me. I don�t blame him. He is only fourteen once and I blew it. Besides, I should been here because Luke wasn�t. I should have taken time and realized that Lucky needed me,� Laura said. �You have that time now. All you have to do is let him be mad at you. Ware him down like we did in there in another way,� Stefan told her. �I know and I have to do it or my son will never love me again,� Laura said. �He loves you. He just doesn�t like you at this moment. I know what hate feels like toward parent. I hate my mother. I would love kill her but right now she isn�t in my arms length,� Stefan said and he smiled at Laura. �I think if there was a way to wish someone dead. Then Helena would have been dead years ago,� Laura said smiling as she brushed her tears away. �Let�s go in and if the boys aren�t out yet. We will let them out. Then sit down and talk to them,� Stefan told her and they headed inside. Laura and Stefan found Lucky and Nikolas in Zander�s room. Foster with them and the boys were talking quietly to themselves. Something about the conversation and how things were going between the brothers that Laura just left things be and when to their bed room with Stefan. Chapter 32 Back to A Father's Love |
