Running For There Lives - Chapter 4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lucky went back up the stairs. He saw Liz zipping up her bag on the bed

" Ready?" he says

" Ready as I'll ever be." she says with a smile

Lucky opens the window to her room and throws her bag and his out the window. He holds his hand out for her. She takes it and they leave house

They head carefully to the train station. Liz sits down on the bench panting from running

" You ok?" he says with a laugh

Elizabeth looks up at him and laughs along with him

" Yeah. Just a little out of breath. Did you tell Nikolas that we were leaving?" she says

Lucky shakes his head

" Couldn't. Too risky since Stavros is his father and all. I know he would never sell me out, but I didn't want to take the chance. I left a note for my dad. He'll explain it to Nikolas if he asks." he says

" This must be so hard for you. To leave your brother. You two just started being family, you know?" she says

" I know. But your here, and that's all that matters. You and me Elizabeth, forever." he says as he touches her cheek

Elizabeth smiles as she kisses Lucky

~*MONTAGE*~

I've run from these feelings for so long

Telling my heart I didn't mean it

Pretending that I was better off alone

But I know that it's just a lie

So afraid of taking a chance again

So afraid of what I'd feel inside

But I need to be next to you

I need to share every breath with you

I need to know I can see you smiling each morning

Look into your eyes each night

For the rest of my life

Here with you, Near with you

Oh I

I need to be next to you

Right here with you is right where I belong

I'd lose my mind if I could see you

Without you there is nothing in this life

That would make life worth living for

I can't bear the thought of you not there

I can't fight what I feel anymore

'Cause I need to be next to you

I need to share every breath with you

I need to know I can see you smiling each morning

Look into your eyes each night

For the rest of my life

Here with you, Near with you

Oh I

I need to be next to you

I need to have your heart next to mine

For all times

Hold you for all my life

I need to be next to you

I need to be next to you

Need to be need to be next to you

Share every breath with you

I need to feel you in my arms babe

In my arms, babe

I need to be next to you

~*MONTAGE*~

" Train 204 boarding..." says the intercom

" That's us." he says as he stands up

" Ok." she says as she stands up and puts her bag over her shoulder

Lucky put his hand in Elizabeth's and looked into her eyes. He suddenly felt all the love he'd ever felt for her in his heart come out at that very moment. He was with the woman he loved, and nothing else mattered. He didn't know if they would ever return to Port Charles, but he knew it would be worth every second of everyday that he spend with her.

They walked to the train hand in hand and boarded. They took there seat as Liz layed her head on Lucky's shoulder. He looked out the window at the town he had grown up in one last time.

" See ya Port Charles." he says as the train left the station
