Anything For You
Chapter 6
That night the class was out for a walk, the kids were talking amongst themselves. Liz walked behind Lucky and Emily with Nikolas, because of her ankle. She didn't want him to be there but she had no choice. She looked up at the stars while walking. She heard laughing and glanced in front of her at Emily and Lucky laughing at something, she hated the feeling she had. Nikolas smiled at her.
"Something on your mind?" he asked
Liz snapped out of her thoughts looking up at the star glancing at Nikolas "Not that I'd tell you, if there was."
Nik chuckled a bit "Come on Liz, can't we call it a truce? I've figured something out."
Liz rolled her eyes glancing at him "All on your own? What would that be?"
Nik smiled sincerely "That I wanna be your friend first."
Liz shrugged "I'll think about it."
"Think about what?" Lucky asked them from behind them he had caught up, really wanting to get in between them. Emily wasn't far behind.
Liz smiled "Oh Nikolas wants to have a truce, I said I'll think about it." Lucky glanced at Nik a moment then back at Liz.
Emily piped in "Nikolas can I talk to you about something?" Nik nodded walking over to her, Liz and Lucky started walking again.
"I need a break." Liz said sitting down on a rock nearby. Lucky sat down next to her.
"Wow it's a nice night, and to think that last night we couldn't even see the stars and now…" he trailed off Liz finished his sentence for him though.
"It's like the storm didn't even happen…it's beautiful."
Lucky glanced at her watching the stars smiling he smiled also.
"Yeah but sadly we're leaving tomorrow. It's been a fun weekend hasn't it?"
"Well other than last night I'd say yeah." Liz chuckled.
They watched the stars for another minute Liz grabbed Lucky's hand all of a sudden.
"Lucky look!" he looked towards where she was looking and saw a shooting star.
He smiled "Wow, hey let's make a wish."
Liz's eyes lit up she chuckled nodding. She held his hand tighter closing her eyes a moment while he did the same.
They finished their wishes and looked at eachother, Lucky chuckled "What'd you wish for?"
Liz shook her head "You know you're not supposed to tell! I'll tell you when it comes true though okay?"
He nodded "Same here."
They stood up and continued walking.
AT THE SAME TIME AS ABOVE
"Nothing seems to be working, either he's super blind or just really good at hiding it." Emily exclaimed.
"Liz is doing a bit better, I got her riled up today and she almost said his name but she caught herself."
"Do you think we should try that more? I'm running out of ideas." Emily sighed. Nikolas chuckled.
"Maybe we're trying too hard, ever think of that? They have feelings for eachother deeply hidden they don't realize it or they refuse to. We need to do some brainstorming to get them together I say we let things cool down for a while ya know. Keep doing what we're doing and then we'll think of more later." Emily chuckled a bit "Man do I hope you're right." She looked up for a moment, she hit Nik's arm gently he looked at her "What?" "Look a shooting star!" he followed her gaze and saw it, Emily smiled "Let's make a wish." They both chuckled and made a wish.
Nik smiled "What'd you wish for?" Emily shook her head "Not telling that's bad luck!" they chuckled and continued walking.
The next morning
Lucky had woken up early he wanted to beat traffic home. He loaded the car up and went back in the tent to wake up Liz. Liz soon awoke, Lucky told Em and Nik that they were leaving and they decided to follow them. As soon as everyone was ready the got into their cars and started to drive to the school to check in, they had to make sure everyone got back okay.
Lucky sighed when he thought of something to talk about "You and Nikolas seem to be getting along better."
Liz shrugged "I'm thinking of that truce, he's starting to be really nice, someone to talk to while you're with Emily. Not as pushy as he was either. Why?"
Lucky shrugged a bit "No reason, be careful getting too close to him though okay?"
Liz looked over at him questioningly "What?"
Lucky averted his face from her looking out his side window a minute "I just don't want to see you get hurt by him okay. I saw the way he broke up with Sarah, I don't want to see that happen to you."
Liz chuckled "I didn't say I was going to go out with him, I said maybe he and I could be friends. You've got to be straight with me Lucky, just a few days ago you were telling me to trust him and be his friend. For a moment it even looked like you were trying to play matchmaker, and now you don't want me to trust him or even at least be his friend? That's bull Lucky and I really don't want to hear it."
Lucky chuckled "Who are you to talk, you're the one who was telling me the same damn thing two nights ago about Emily!" Both of them getting aggravated with eachother now fighting and starting to yell.
"Lucky! We don't know Emily, she's been at school what? A week? But you and I have known Nikolas for a hell of a long time, yeah sure him and I don't get along that's the point of that. It's like a love hate thing, you and Nikolas are brother yet you're the one telling me to careful of him for what he did to my sister who deserved it all, let alone they were 14 years old? I just don't get it Lucky, I mean if you wanted me to be with anyone I'm sure Nikolas would be the one you would choose wouldn't it?"
Lucky didn't reply and just kept driving until they got to the school.
SIMULTANEOUSLY
"Look at them, they look like they're yelling." Emily exclaimed watching Liz and Lucky in the car ahead of them.
"What's been going on with you and Lucky?" Nik asked
Emily shrugged "We've mostly just talked, I saw a tiny bit of jealousy last night when he came to walk with Liz. That's it though."
Nik sighed, "He's been acting strange towards me, he'll barely even talk to me. I don't know if he's mad at me or if he's jealous Liz and I are becoming friends."
They both sighed driving to school.
They all arrived at school pretty much the same time they checked their names. One of their teachers stops them. "Oh Elizabeth?"
Liz turned around giving a friendly smile to Mr. Murty "Yeah Mr. Murty?" The rest of them turned back listening waiting for her, her and Lucky hadn't been talking since their fight.
"Your grandmother called last night, she had an emergency conference to go to. She didn't want you to be alone at home, so she made arrangements for you to stay at Lucky's house."
Liz's smile went away as she heard it, Lucky looked at her and she glanced back at him. This couldn't get any worse could it?
