*A Concert for Forever
Elizabeth Webber stood behind the counter at Kelly's, clearing the
dishes from the most recent customer. Tomorrow was a day she was
dreading. Tomorrow would mark one year since Lucky's death. She knew
she'd have to deal with that day sooner or later, but she wasn't sure if she
could do it yet. She planed to go over to Laura's house and see how she was
doing, then try and find Luke and do the same. She looked up when she
heard the door open.
Nikolas, Lucky's brother, walked in and sat in one of the chairs facing
Liz. "Hi," he said softly.
"Hi. Can I get you anything?"
"No. I just came by to see how you were doing."
"I'm okay." Nikolas gave her a look that said, 'you don't have to
pretend with me'. "Okay, okay. I'm not doing so hot. I miss Lucky."
"I know. Listen, I know that you probably want to do something by
yourself tomorrow, but I was wondering if you would go with me to a
concert tomorrow night."
"Oh, Nikolas, that's really sweet, but I don't know if I want to go to a
concert tomorrow."
"It's a big group and they're playing at Luke's for one night. It'll be
good for you to get out."
"You're starting to sound like Gram." Liz let out a little laugh. "All
right, all right. I'll go to this concert. Do I get to find out who it is?"
"No, and no one is going to tell you."
"Okay, what should I wear?"
"Something nice. Something you can dance in."
"I said I'd go. I didn't say I'd dance."
"Okay, whatever." Nikolas smiled. "I've got to go. I'm going to see
my mother."
"Oh, tell her I said hi and give both her and LuLu hugs for me."
"Okay."
"Also, tell Laura that she can call me tomorrow if she needs me."
"I will. Bye."
"Bye." The two friends waved and Nikolas left.
That night, Liz was getting ready for bed, when she heard fire engines
from faraway outside her window. She thought back to the night when she
had woken up from the dream of sirens. She went to her boyfriend's 'house'
to find out that he was dead. She didn't admit it then, but in the corner of
her mind, she knew it was true. She walked over to her tape player and hit
the play button.
Lucky's voice filled the room with the song he had written for
Elizabeth. She missed him so much. She laid down on her bed and fell to
sleep listening to Lucky's voice.
The next morning, Liz woke up, but didn't get out of bed. This was
the day. She didn't want this day to come so soon; she wasn't ready for it.
It was Friday and she had the day off of school because of Lucky's death.
She pulled herself out of bed and got in the shower. When she finished, she
wrapped herself in a robe and walked over to her closet. She planed on
going to the church in a few short hours. She selected one of the many
beautiful dresses from her closet and put it on.
The dress was a light purple, only a little darker than lavender. It was
form fitting and reached the floor. The dress had a semi low neckline and
the straps crisscrossed in the back. She piled her hair upon her head and
clipped it with silver clips. She put on the charm bracelet Lucky had given
her, she had her ring on, and she slipped the New York subway token
necklace around her neck.
Liz walked down stairs and found a note that her grandmother had left
her. It read:
Elizabeth,
I've gone into the hospital a little early today. I heard about
the concert tonight and you're welcome to go. I probably won't be back
until late tonight. My darling, I know this is going to be a hard day, and if
you need anything, please stop by the hospital or call me.
My love is with you,
Gram
Liz put the note down, got her coat out of her closet and left. She
walked to the church that she and Lucky had made promises to each other 2
valentines days ago. She had come here a few months ago to talk to Lucky.
"Hi, Lucky," Liz started as she lit the two candles on the alter.
"You're probably looking down on me, disappointed that I've lived in the
past for so long. That I haven't moved on. That's because I can't, Lucky. I
can't do anything except bury myself in our past. I miss you so much I can't
stand it. I want to hold you in my arms again. Feel your soft kisses on my
lips, feel your arms around me when the nightmares won't stop coming. I
need you here. I love you Lucky. Always will." With that, Liz blew a kiss
skyward and walked outside, heading back to Kelly's to meet Nikolas for the
mysterious concert.
Nikolas stood waiting in Kelly's for Liz. He was wearing a dark blue
shirt and black jeans. He looked up when he heard the door open. Liz
walked in wearing the dress she had been wearing at the church.
"So, ready to go?" Nikolas asked.
"I guess. Do I get a little hint as to who's playing?"
"Nope." Nikolas offered her his arm and she took it.
"Okay, okay, then lets go. I can't stand it any more." Nikolas
laughed and the left, walking to Luke's.
When they arrived, the club was jumping. Everyone was there.
Emily, Laura, Luke, LuLu, Bobbie, Juan, Chloe, Jax, Ned, Alexis, Felicia,
Mac, Georgie, Maxi, Sonny, Roy, Hannah (away from Sonny), Taggert,
Dara, Lucas and Carly. Nikolas led Liz to the front table and she saw that
some of the tables had been moved so there would be dancing room.
Nikolas sat in the seat next to her, so that he wouldn't be in her way.
"Okay, when does the show start?" Liz asked.
Nikolas stood and nodded to someone in the back. He smiled. "Any
second."
Just as he said that, the lights went off and a spotlight hit the stage.
Luke went up on stage to introduce the singers.
"Good evening everyone! I know that this is a Blues Club and the last
time a non-Blues singer came here, Claude got fired. Again. But this is a
special night, so I'm making an exception. So, any ways, I'd like to
introduce our special guest. *NSYNC!" He jumped off stage and the
curtain rose revealing the 5 *NSYNC members.
Liz looked over at Nikolas, her eyes huge with surprise. "Do you like
it?" Nikolas asked.
"Do I? I love it!" She smiled and turned back around as the cheers
died down.
Their new single "Bye, Bye, Bye" started and they were dancing and
singing as LuLu and Georgie started to dance around in the back of the
room, Luke, Laura, Felicia, and Mac watching with smiles on their faces.
When they finished the song, the group went back stage and pulled
out stools and microphones. They all sat on the stools and JC brought the
microphone up to speak.
"Hello, everyone." All the girls in the room screamed. "It's great to
be here today, especially when we found out why we were asked here today.
We heard that there is a very special girl out there today. Elizabeth Webber,
please stand up." Liz's eyes widened as she stood. Everyone in the room
applauded for her. She started to sit back down, but JC asked her to stay
standing. "Elizabeth, we have a special gift for you. With this gift, your
friends and family, who are all here today, have given you something much
more special." He sat down and an extended intro to "God Must Have Spent
A Little More Time On You" started.
Liz started to image what it would be like to have Lucky's arms
around her during this song, when someone slid his arms around her waist.
At first she thought it was Nikolas and was insulted that he'd ask to dance
with her during her and Lucky's song, but a second later, she knew it wasn't
Nikolas. When she touched the hands around her waist, a thought entered
her mind that couldn't possible be true, so she turned to see who it was.
Lucky Spencer stood in front of her, with his arms resting around her
waist. "Lucky?" Liz whispered. She couldn't do anything but whisper.
"I told you I would stay with you always. Remember, no lies."
Lucky and Liz both started to cry as she fell into his arms. *NSYNC started
to sing Lucky and Liz's song. Liz couldn't stop crying. They swayed with
the music, Lucky's strong arms supporting her as her legs started to turn
weak as a result of the crying and shock. As the song started to end, Lucky
leaned down into her ear and said, "I love you."
Through her tears, Liz said, "I love you, too. So much." When the
song ended, Lucky pulled back and he and Liz kissed. A long, passionate
kiss.
"You are so beautiful," Lucky said.
The audience started to applaud and Lucky picked up Liz into his
arms, for she was so weak, he knew she wouldn't be able to stand much
longer. He mouthed the words "Thank you" to *NSYNC and as he walked
out with Liz, saw his mom crying with happiness and gave his dad a small
nod of his head.
Lucky and Liz walked out of the club and to a new car that Lucky told
Liz was his. They got in. As soon as Lucky started the car, Liz grabbed his
hand and he kissed hers. They drove off in silence, not wanting to spoil the
moment. The time for questions will come. They arrived in front of a small
cottage, similar to Nikolas' and Liz gave him an inquisitive look.
"My dad found it and bought it for us. Until we move to New York,
of course."
Liz gave him a huge smile and took off the necklace that hung around
her neck, then put it on him. "I love you."
"I love you, too. Forever."
