Chapter 2
Nikolas was shocked as he felt a blow to his face. Sarah wasn't taking the news so well. He had called her out to Wyndemere because he needed to talk to her about something. He started feeling a twinge of guilt as she walked through the front doors as cheery as ever, and he was contemplating on how to tell her that he was breaking up with her. Even as she rambled on about how they were meant to be together he was thinking of a way to win Emily's heart.
"Nikolas why are you doing this? I thought you loved me, you TOLD me you loved me!" Sarah yelled as tears streamed down her face.
Nikolas frowned. He didn't love Sarah and she knew it. He wondered why she was so contempt on holding on to an endless relationship.
"Sarah I'm sorry. I really am but over the last few weeks I've felt like there is nothing left for us. That physical attraction that was once there when we got together is gone and I know that you feel it too." He paused and searched for some sign of understanding on her face, but she showed no emotion except sadness. "I honestly never intended to hurt y-"
He was cut off when Sarah exploded. "You never intended on hurting me? Well I'm sorry Nikolas but you DID! I can't believe this! You're breaking up with me. You're breaking up with me."
Nikolas was a little offended by her words but recovered quickly.
"I'm sorry." He whispered.
"Is there someone else!" She asked suddenly, catching Nikolas completely off guard. She smirked at his surprised expression. "There is isn't there? Who is she?"
Nikolas knew if he told her it would only upset her even more. "There's no one else, Sarah." He lied. She nodded sadly, pursing her lips.
"Fine," With that, she turned quickly on her heels but stopped for a moment before adding, "You just lost the best damn thing that ever happened to you Nikolas Cassadine!" She stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
Nikolas sighed. He truly had never intended to hurt her, but he refused to stay in a sham relationship that had no future. He was relieved that it was over, but he did feel bad for hurting Sarah the way he did. Now he could focus all of his attention on winning Emily's friendship back first, then hopefully win her heart as well.
Emily stormed into the small apartment Lucky had over Jason's motorcycle shop. It looked like a tornado had ripped through it. There were clothes and liquor bottles spewed all over the floor and Emily became even more worried. The lights were off and she scanned the room for Lucky, but to no avail. She stopped dead in her tracks at the sound of a muffled whimper. She turned her attention to the couch and saw Lucky lying under some clothes. She rushed over to the couch and sat down on the edge. She placed her hand on his shoulder and whispered, "Lucky?"
"Hmm, Em?" He slurred as he tried to sit up, which would have failed if Emily hadn't been there to help him up. Emily gasped at his appearance. His hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot and he reeked of alcohol.
"Yea it's me. Are you ok?" She asked in a soothing voice even though she already knew the answer by the looks of it.
"It's over, Em. She left me." He sobbed.
"What happened?" She whispered.
Lucky bowed his head and Emily could see the tears falling from his face. Her heart broke at the sight of him. "She said that she loves me too much to watch me hurt myself." He paused as another tear made its way down his cheek. "She said- She said that she can't stand by while I put myself in danger everyday by working for your brother."
"Oh my god, Lucky. I'm so sorry. I know how much Elizabeth loves you, I'm sure she'll come around."
"I don't think it's that simple." He buried his face in his hands and started sobbing. Emily immediately pulled him into a tight hug and he cried softly into her shoulder. "What am I going to do without her? She was my rock. After everything that's been happening, she was the one constant in my life. The one thing I looked forward to every morning when I woke up." His voice broke.
"Shh it's ok. Everything's going to be ok."
Lucky pulled back abruptly, "No Em, it's not!" He yelled. "I'm nothing without her. She was everything to me, she was the only person who saw past my sarcastic comments, my insecurities, and just saw me for me. She was the one person that loved me with everything that she had and I lost her. I let her down."
"Lucky, you didn't let her down. You both just want different things." She hesitated before continuing. "You could always leave the organization?"
He shook his head furiously, "No, I can't. I'm too far in to just leave now. I won't do that to Sonny and Jason."
"Not even for Elizabeth?" Emily asked gently.
