Still The One

Chapter 2

Author's Note: Logan isn't dead in this, so Lulu isn't in the mental hospital.

Lucky stared at his ex-wife, who was clearly drunk and didn't know what she was saying and probably wouldn't remember anything about this tomorrow. "I still…" but before Lucky could say anymore, Elizabeth had fallen asleep.

Lucky grabbed a hold of her and took her upstairs to her bedroom and placed her in the bed. "I will always love you, Elizabeth, but we aren't good together," he said, as he placed the blanket over her and walked down the stairs.

He was about to walk out of the house when he saw the picture of Elizabeth and the boys.

That was his family until he ruined it all. He would be sleeping next to Elizabeth right now if it wasn't for him. She would have never had to go to Jason's to find comfort.

But she moved on and that is what he did as well. But why if he is happy with Sam, why can't he stop thinking about his ex-wife?

He never thought that he and Elizabeth would ever end up like this.

Ex-wife, he hates that word, it just sounds so final.

How did they end up like this?

Suddenly his phone rang, he picked it up and it was Sam and it brought him back to reality.

" I'll be home very soon, Sam. I love you too," Lucky said, as he looked at the picture of Elizabeth again. Sam was his future and Elizabeth was his past . He then grabbed his jacket and headed out.

The next morning,

Elizabeth felt so sick. She couldn't remember anything about what happened the night before. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Why did it have to be so loud, Elizabeth thought to herself, as she walked down the stairs and opened the door and Sam standing in front of her.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

Sam walked into the house and turned to Elizabeth. "I heard that you got drunk yesterday and Lucky run to save you without even a thought about me."

"I didn't ask anybody to do that." Elizabeth said, as she walked over to the couch.

That is the thing with you, you don't need to ask, he will come to your rescue. " Sam responded.

"Just get to the point, Sam. Why are you here?" Elizabeth asked.

"Stay away from Lucky."

"Does he know that you are here?"

"Of course not. Just leave Lucky alone. He's with me, "

"How would he feel if he knew that you were here right now talking to me like this? You like for him to make you think that you have changed, but I know that you haven't. You wouldn't be here right now if you were. I think you should leave now," Elizabeth said, as she walked away from Sam.

Later that evening,

"Thank you for helping me with the boys," Elizabeth responded as she smiled at Lulu. "I need to follow my heart and make things better."

"You know even though you aren't with my brother anymore, I still see you as a friend, and if Jason is for you want to be with," Lulu responded. I'm with Johnny, so I can't tell to not be with Jason.

Elizabeth sighed. She had just saw Jason earlier this morning and they talked and she told me that that she couldn't be with, not when her heart was with someone else.

She needed to follow her heart and her heart was leading her straight to Lucky.

"I can't explain it right now, but I will later," Elizabeth responded ,as she kissed Jake who was in Lulu's arms. "Bye," she said, as she left the house.

Lucky was sitting on the couch when there was a knock at the door. He opened the door, expecting Sam, but it was none other than Elizabeth. "How are you feeling today?" he asked.

"I have a little hangover, but nothing that a Advil won't cure," Elizabeth said, as she walked into the house.

This house had so many memories for both her and Lucky, but at the same time they were bad memories.

"I wanted to thank you for bring me home last night, but how did you know?" she asked.

"Nikolas phoned me. "

"Well thanks," Elizabeth said, as she looked at Lucky.

"Sam isn't here right?"

Lucky smiled at his ex- wife. "No, she's not here. Why exactly are you here, Elizabeth? I know it is not just because you wanted to say thank you, you could have phoned me to say that,"

"You still know me, don't you?" Elizabeth responded with a slightly smile.

Lucky laughed. "I thought I did."

Elizabeth sat down on the couch, Lucky followed her. "You're right I'm not here to just to say thank you, I've come to see you and see what I said to you last night."

"You didn't say anything," Lucky lied.

She looked at his face. "You are lying to me."

"You mean like you did to me," Lucky said, not realizing what he just said.

She sighed as she looked at him. "I regret everyday that I lied to you,"

"That is the past, Elizabeth. We both moved on,"

"What if I haven't, Lucky. What if I'm still in love with you?" Elizabeth said.

"Still in love with me?" Lucky yelled. "Elizabeth, I'm in love with Sam now," Lucky responded.

Elizabeth glanced at Lucky. "Really, Lucky. Then why did you come and rescue me last night and then take me home and make sure that I was ok before you leave? You still love me as much as I love you, admit it."

"I'll always care about you. That is all it is."

" Really, Lucky. Are you sure that there isn't more." Elizabeth responded with this determined look on her face.

"Don't do this, Elizabeth. We are in a good place right now. Don't make this any harder for us," Lucky responded.

Elizabeth grabbed his hand. "Look at me, and tell me that you don't still love me,"
Lucky stood up and walked over to the window. "I can't do this with you.

She followed him to the window and placed her hand on his shoulder. "You can't do it because you are still in love with me,"

He turned around. "I'm not."

She looked at him. "I thought that I wanted us apart, I thought that I wanted Jason, but all I wanted was you, Lucky. Do you know what it was like watching you not only get addicted on drugs, but cheating on me with Maxie?

"You mean like when you cheated on me with Jason and lied about it. What about lying to me about Jake. Why couldn't you trust me?" Lucky yelled. "Why didn't you fight harder for us. You gave up on us so quickly and now you are telling me that you want me back. It is because you know you can't have me. "

"I didn't give up on us. You did that. "Elizabeth yelled. "You gave up on us long before I was with Jason. You gave up on us as soon as you got addicted to drugs."

"I'm not talking about this. That is over with. We are over."

It was what Elizabeth thought she wanted, but as soon as she heard the word, it hit her hard. She didn't them to be over. It was not over.

" No, we're not."

" Elizabeth, you can't do this to us." Lucky said, as he walked away from her.

She followed her and leaned over and kissed her. Lucky wanted to stop, but he couldn't.

"I'm with Sam."

Elizabeth glanced at him. "That didn't stop you from being with her when you were married with me."

Lucky looked at him with this mad look on his face. "You didn't need care about me, you didn't care what I was up to or who I was with. All you cared about was Jason and now you are telling me that you don't love him, you love me now. You can't do that to me. You can't do that to us."

"There is no us anymore, right, Lucky? I'm your ex- wife. That is all I am to you. Go on tell me to get out of here because you are happy in your relationship with Sam. Tell me to go away."

"Eli…z…" Lucky said, as he stopped himself and looked at her. "We both agree to the divorce. We both said it was the best for us."

" Well I made a mistake. I have many mistakes lately, naming letting you go," Elizabeth responded.

Lucky looked at her. " We can't be together."

" Are you telling me that you still love me, Lucky?"

" I will always love you, but we can't go back. It's over."

" I love you and I want you. I want us to go back to where we use to be before the secrets and betrayal. I want to go back to where we use to be each other best friends. I want to go back." Elizabeth yelled.

"We can't go back. We aren't teenagers anymore."

Tears started to fall down Elizabeth's cheeks. "What happened to us? How did we get here?" she asked.

Lucky stared into Elizabeth's eyes. "Don't do this, the past is the past."

"Is that all I am to you, just your past. Just like how you could easily forget about me when you got kidnapped?" Elizabeth yelled.

Lucky looked at him. " Do you really believe that, Elizabeth?"

"Well Helena was able to erase your memories of me so easily. Do you know what it was like for me, Lucky? To know that I was so easy for you to forget. No matter who I am with, be it Ric, Jason or whoever was. You were always in my heart. But clearly I was nowhere in your heart, not when you were kidnapped, not when you were on drugs and clearly not now."

"You are wrong about everything, Elizabeth. Do you know you were in my thoughts every day when I was kidnapped? I always thought about you. Even when Helena erased my memories when I saw you I knew that there was something about you that I loved."

Lucky stopped for a moment, he had thought about his kidnapping for a long time, but it was all coming back to him.

"I had this picture of you, Elizabeth. I would look at everyday, telling you that I would come home. Does that sound like someone who forgot about you easily?"

" But you did. " Elizabeth yelled. " You forgot about me then and you forget about me when you were on drugs and clearly you have forgotten about me now. I don't have a place in your heart anymore, Sam has that,"

Lucky sighed as he stared at Elizabeth. " I'm not doing this with you. I'm not going to argue about something that doesn't ever matter anymore. There is no us anymore, not now or ever," Lucky said, as he started to walk up the stairs.

Elizabeth grabbed his arm. " I gave up on you before, I'm not going to do that again. We are going to talk about everything. I mean everything. We are going to get everything out in the open and then if you want to still be with Sam. I will step away. I promise. I will let you go, but I won't let you go without a fight,"
