Chapter 8

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

Luke follows Jesse to the elevators

" Jesse, could I speak to you for a second?" says Luke

" Sure, Mr. Spencer." says Jesse

They walk into the waiting room area

" Listen kid, I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't like you. I never have and probably never will. You've gotton my daughter into dangerous situations, she's ended up at the hospital and the police station more times than I can count, and she just dosen't think

when she's with you. And after today..." says Luke

" Mr Spencer, I take full responsibility for what happend today. Ok, yeah, I started the fight but I never touched her." says Jesse

" That's not what my son told me." says Luke

" With all do respect, sir, Lucky wasn't there. He walked in after it happend." says Jesse

" I know that. But from what he walked in on, it didn't look good. Look kid, the bottom line is I want you to stay away from Leslie Lu. Permanently" says Luke

Meanwhile back in the hospital room, Lulu turns her head away from Lucky

" Do what? Lulu, I can't believe your actually defending this guy after what he did to you!" says Lucky angirly as he stands and starts pacing

" For the last time, Jesse never did ANYTHING to me! Your all treating me like I'm some god damned battered girlfriend or something! And I am SO sick of you, dad, and Nikolas insulting Jesse everytime he comes around!" shouts Lulu angirly

" Are you finished?" says Lucky

" Not even close. I'll never be finished until you tell me that you'll at least give Jess a chance. He's trying. Really he is. And he's a great guy if you would take the time to get to know him." says Lulu

Lucky crosses his arms over his chest as he faces the door

" Mom would give him a chance..." says Lulu as she puts her head down

Lucky whips around

" Don't do that, alright?! Don't bring her into this." says Lucky

" Why not? You know she would." says Lulu

" Lu, this isn't about her. This is about you. And the way you act when your around Jesse. You don't think when your with him. It's like your under this spell." says Lucky

Lulu dosen't say anything. Lucky sits back down on the stool next to the bed and looks at Lulu

" Do you...do you love him? I mean really love him?" says Lucky

" Yes." says Lulu softly as a small tear falls down her cheek

Lucky takes a deep breath and let's it out. He runs his hand over his face as he looks at Lulu

" Alright. I'll...give him a chance. But only because I can see that you love him. And I remember when I was your age and in love." says Lucky

Lulu hugs Lucky tightly

" Thank you. Thank you so much, Lucky. You don't know what this means to me." says Lulu

" I think I do. But I don't know about dad and Nikolas. Especially dad." says Lucky as the hug ends

" I'll work on them. Knowing that your in our corner really means alot to me." says Lulu

Lucky nods

" I know it does, Teeny." says Lucky

Lulu laughs

" You know I hate that nickname." says Lulu

Lucky laughs

" Yeah I know." says Lucky as he continues laughing and he and Lulu hug

Back in the waiting room...

Jesse stares at Luke not saying anything. He puts his head down briefly, intimidated by Luke. But quickly shoots him a look

" Look, Mr. Spencer, I love your daughter. And she loves me. There's no way in hell I'm staying away from her." says Jesse

" Smith, don't make me angry. I'm warning you. I'll file a restraining order against you if I have to. Or if you make me really angry, I'll take matters into my own hands. If you think I'm bluffing, ask anyone in this town. I keep my promises and I don't make empty

threats. Now stay away from my daughter. You see her in Kelly's, you get up and you leave. If you see her crossing the street, turn the corner. If I ever see you with her again, there's gonna be trouble." says Luke angirly as he walks away

Jesse walks to the elevator as he pushes the button wanting to get out of that hospital. He stepping on as the doors opened. He leaned against the side and he banged his head on the wall

" No way. There's no way I'm staying away from her." says Jesse as the elevator takes him

down
