Chapter 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nikolas looks at Lulu as he see's all of the broken glass on the floor
" Are you alright?" says Nikolas
" Yeah, Nikolas I'm fine. We just had an accident. Dad accidenly knocked off the crystal holders that's all." says Lulu
" Lulu, don't cover for him. What are you into now Luke? Taking your anger out on my sister, huh? Scaring her to death?!" says Nikolas angirly
" Watch it Cassadine. I would NEVER lay a hand on Leslie Lu!" says Luke as he faces Nikolas and Lulu
" Nikolas, really I'm fine. It's no big deal." says Lulu
" No, Lulu it is a big deal. He dosen't need to be breaking glasses in anger right in front of you." says Nikolas
Luke walks closer to Nikolas
" What are you trying to say, Cassadine?" says Luke
Nikolas walks closer to him until he is in his face
" I'm saying that Lulu has been through enough this past two months and dosen't need to be scared of her own father on top of that." says Nikolas
" Ok! Timeout. Everyone just chill out! Both of you are acting like lunatics so I think you should just stop all of this before we all say things that we don't mean. Nikolas, my dad would never hurt me. I know that. He's just upset. I know that your just trying to protect me, and I love you for that. But I don't need protection from him." says Lulu trying to calm them down
" Yeah, try looking in the direction of your psycho granny and putting all of that fake brotherly concern into protecting Lulu from her." says Luke as he turns back around
Nikolas rolls his eyes as he looks back to Lulu
" I'm sorry I lost it. It just looked really bad when I came in." says Nikolas
" Nikolas, it's ok. I actually have to get going, Aunt Bobbie's expecting me at Kelly's for my shift." says Lulu
Lulu turns to Luke
" Are you gonna be ok?" says Lulu
" Yes, I'm going to be fine. I don't want you to worry about me. I'm sorry that I lost it before. You know I never meant to scare you like that." says Luke
" Of course I know that. And I'll try not to worry too much." says Lulu as she hugs her dad and smiles as him
" Alright. I'll see you later." says Luke as Lulu opens the door
" Cassadine..." says Luke
" Luke..." says Nikolas as he leaves with Lulu
Nikolas holds Lulu's arm stopping her
" What?" says Lulu
" I don't want you coming here anymore without me or Lucky with you." says Nikolas
" Nikolas, how many times do I have to tell you that I'm fine?" says Lulu
" Lulu, when I walked into that room you were scared. You were scared of him. He's acting crazy and I don't want you around him unless someone else is with you." says Nikolas
" Nikolas, he just lost his wife!" says Lulu
" I know that, alright?! I understand that and I feel for him. She's my mother too. But what if one day you walk in there and he's drunk and get's violent?" says Nikolas
" My dad would never hurt me." says Lulu
" Are you sure of that? You've never seen what Luke does when he's drunk. I have. He has no control over his actions. I think that Lucky would back me up on this too." says Nikolas
Lulu glares at Nikolas as she crosses her arms over her chest and turns around
" Why are you doing this?" says Lulu
" Because I'm your brother and I love you. It's me and Lucky's job to take care of you when Luke can't and he's really going through a tough time right now. I know you want to believe that Luke is perfect, but he's not." says Nikolas
" What are you talking about?" says Lulu as she turns back around and faces Nikolas
" I just mean that to him, our mother is dead." says Nikolas
" DON'T say that!" says Lulu
There is a long pause
" Do you remember, when we all thought that Lucky was dead? I know you were really little but do you remember what it did to him? How he closed himself off from everyone?" says Nikolas
Lulu nods
" Well, it's sort of like that. He will get over this. All I'm asking is that you have me or Lucky with you when you want to see him. Is that too much to ask?" says Nikolas
Lulu turns back around thinking about it
" I don't know Nikolas. I just...I don't want to be afraid of my own father." says Lulu feeling like crying
Nikolas put his hands on her shoulders
" It's ok, Lu. I know your not afraid of him, not really. Your afraid of this side of him. It isn't the only side, you know that." says Nikolas
Lulu turns back around and faces Nikolas
" I really have to get to work." says Lulu
" Lulu we didn't even..." says Nikolas
" Nikolas, I'm not going to stay away from my own father. He needs me right now. He dosen't have anyone else. I've gotta go." says Lulu as she walks off
" Lulu wait..." says Nikolas
Lulu keeps walking on her way to Kelly's
