CHAPTER TWO:


Lucus followed Brooke as she led them to Georige's house which was where she was staying. The decided to cut through the park, or mainly she did. They didn't talk much and the silence was unnerving him. As the reached the well known gazebo he finally stopped. The silence was killing him.

"Are you okay?" he asked. He already knew the question, that was a stupid question.

"Yeah… I'm fine," she replied quietly. He knew what she was thinking about and he definitely knew what she was feeling. He slowly walked up to her and turned her to face him. Lucus could see the tears in her eyes and knew they would fall any second now. He tenderly wrapped his arms around her as she began to cry into his chest.

"Hey it's gonna be alright, it'll get better. Everything will be fine," Lucus tried as he stroked her hair. He knew words wouldn't help much but that was all he could come up with.

"I shouldn't be using you as a human napkin… I'm sorry," Brooke stated as she pulled away from him and retreated to the gazebo's steps.

Lucus laughed slightly as he responded, "It's alright… I'm sure I'll survive." Lucus looked down at the girl in front of him and had a sudden urge to rush over and kiss away the pain, but he couldn't bring himself too. He turned away and stared into the sky watching at the stars shined down from above.

"It's really beautiful out tonight, the stars… and just… where we are," Brooke stated as she followed Lucus's glance into the sky.

"Yeah… yeah it is," he agreed and he brought his vision back to the floor. An uncomfortable silence set over the couple as they both focused on everything but each other.

"Isn't you ma worried about you… it is pretty late?" Brooke asked after a few minutes.

"I told her I'd be back soon, she trusts me," Lucus replied as he checked his watch.

"She's your adoptive mother right? Georgie told me you were cousins by adoption," Brooke curiously asked hoping to learn more about Lucus.

"Yeah she is. And so is my dad, Tony Jones. He's the doctor at GH. My dad… he's the brother of Georgie's real dad Frisco. That's how were related," Lucus explained.

"Oh yeah… I think she may have mentioned something along those lines. So, how'd this all come about?" she asked.

"Well, it's a rather interesting story. My real parents are Cheryl Stansbury and Julian Jerome. They thought it was Robert Scorpio for awhile though… but that turned out to be false. I'm sure you haven't heard much about these people?" Lucus began to explain another part of his paternity. Brooke responded with a head shake.

"Yeah well, when I was born my birth mother was told I was a stillborn… so she thought I was dead. Bobbie ended up getting me from some guy who took me at birth… it's really odd. Well she finally figured out the truth… both Bobbie and Cheryl. I was returned to my real mother. But she passed away and Tony and Bobbie ended up with me again. But I love my parents so I'm not complaining," Lucus finally ended as he stated the facts he could remember.

"Wow… that's really… crazy. I mean I was deprived from my dad but I knew he was around. You didn't even know what we happening," Brooke sympathized.

"Yeah… well I was too young to even remember," he responded as he laughed slightly.

"So Bobbie told you all this?" Brooke asked.

"No… she doesn't like to talk about it much. My uncle… Luke, he told me everything," Lucus added to his story as he moved to sit next to Brooke.

"That really was an interesting story," she added as she turned to look at him. He was staring straight back.

"Y-Yeah… it is," he replied slowly. The sexual tension was building between them and he could feel it burning inside him. He began to slowly lean towards her when she quickly jumped up from the steps and walked a few feet away from him.

"You know it's getting late… I think we should head back," she stated as she waited for him to follow her through the park.

GEORGIE'S HOUSE…

After another 15 minute walk they finally reached Georgie's house. The walk was once again silent and he still followed behind her. He just couldn't shake what he was feeling towards Brooke at the moment.

"Thanks for walking me home," she said as she began to make her way up the limited number of stairs.

"Hey, no problem," Lucus replied as he watched her make her way into the house, "Hey… wait!"

"What?" she asked as she stared at him cautiously.

"You wanna hang out tomorrow?" he asked from the bottom of the small porch.

"Okay… I'll see you tomorrow," Brooke replied as she retreated into the house. A small smile played on Lucus's lips as he shoved his hands into his pockets and headed for home.
