In the evenings, Lulu would sit in her chair at Shadybrook and wait to see Logan Hayes. He was the reason for all this. She would sit up straight and wait for him to come like a little girl waits for her mother to come and read her a bedtime story. Every night became more and more of a routine. She would go and talk with her mother Laura across the hall, eat dinner, drink warm tea with sweet and low sugar, and then finally…wait for Logan to show. And when he did, it made the day seem almost transparent to her. He only came at night. She had never once tried to speak to him out of fear of loosing her sanity, but for the first time…he spoke to her. He let out in between yelps.. "I'm sorry Lulu, this isn't the way its supposed to be." As she would fight him off, she realized that he wasn't angry, he wasn't punishing her for what she had done…and right then did she realize, its not my fault. She had tried with all her might to get rid of Logan. When he kept popping up, it was like a wash of death drowned her in her own skin. She felt his touch on her almost like the feeling of silk running through her veins. She shook it off and stood up to train her mind. It was in her head. She had so desperately wanted to see Johnny for weeks. No one listened to her. She would ask Lucky to sign her out to take her to see him. The thought of Johnny never being able to caress her delicate skin just once more drove her mind even more distant. She had tried to feel his presence, feel his rough, corse hands, but no matter what she did, she ended up crying herself to sleep wishing she could roll over in her sheets and feel him breath warmly on her face. Just once had she ever felt this way. The night their baby boy was conceived. She and Johnny couldn't have been more intimate then that night. Then she thought of her son and how much he needed her. She knew he was safe and happy where he was, but just to see her son smile was a desire she had yet to spare. The frozen glazed stare on her son's fronted face the night the police dragged both her and Johnny out of their home shook her insides. He stood frozen. With no where to turn. The faces of both his mother and father were the last he'd seen of them. For a 13 year old boy, it might have been different. But for a 2 year old to experience something so horrible that could shake him to the core made Lulu shiver to her bones. She could feel the sheets around her smuggling her. Taking her breath. And with one last breath what she remembered of that night was blurred out by Logan Hayes. When he had shown, her whole body flushed into paleness and pain. She couldn't bare her sanity anymore. There isn't anywhere to go she said to Logan. He stared at her in atonement. She didn't believe the words out of his mouth. "Do what's right by you and your son, find him, bring him home, and finally he whispered the words escape with them" She turned to stone and her body was empty. To unleash to hurt from Logan's words, she dodged the tears and ran to the phone frantic, hand shaking. She quickly dialed to PCPD and cleared her throat and swept away her once frozen tears. "Port Charles Police Department, who's calling? Lauren Swiften. I have been notified by a Ms. Claudia Zacharra that you have a Mr. Jonathan Zacharra in your reach…yes? This is his district attorney. May I speak to Mr. Zacharra please? Thank you." "Johnny slowly murmured hello? Johnny! He quickly bounced back to reality. Lulu! How are you? You should be asleep. I know she said, but I need you. I need your warmth. Your touch…and finally the words dripped out of her mouth our son needs you. He fought back the tears and held his breath silently. You need to go. I'm free she exclaimed. What do you mean by free? Logan…he old me to do what's right by you, me and our son. Stay there and make sure you don't go back to your cell just yet. LULU! He declared." Before he could finish, she cut the line off with the dial tone ring and walked out of her room as if it was her own home. She dodged the nurses like they were her servants her family had hired. Once out of The main doors…she stood there still as a pole not knowing what to do next. She quickly paced down the sidewalk getting faster until her feet her skipping cracks in the road. She quickly jerked herself as she came across the PCPD. "This is it she thought" "Now walk in there as if nothing is wrong and get Johnny." The quicker she ran, the quicker they would be reunited with both their son, and each other. Lulu swung open the front doors and walked into the interrogation room. He glared into her eyes as if there was a bullet coming at his face. She ran over to him and locked his lips into hers. She could feel his warm breath beaming out of his nostrils. He couldn't help but get closer to her. As the kiss ended, He ran over to the guard standing just a few feet away and beat him down with the chains that linked his fireballs that he called hands. He took the key and set himself free. He grabbed Lulu as fast as he could and ran out the emergency exit door. The two of then raced to the blue Lexus and jumped into it as fat as they both could. The keys were left inside of the ignition. The keys turned as the car started. The
happiness that lulu felt had never before been so strong. There she was, racing to get to her son with the man she desired and would die for.
