Chapter 1
Two years later, Lulu was living in Arizona. She decided to move away to get away from all the troubles that came with living in Port Charles. But still to this day, she remembered that night, she knew he wasn't himself. She could still see that sad scared look in his eyes. Lulu hasn't heard from him at all in the past two years and neither has Scott. She had talked to Scott everyday and asked him if he'd heard from Logan. Everyday she got the same answer, so eventually she gave up.
Arizona was a nice change for Lulu, she really liked it there. It was mostly because it was completely different from Port Charles, there was no mob business, no family breathing down her neck, it was just good for her. She left New York about a year ago. It was a spur of the moment thing. One day she got fed up, went to the airport and bought a ticket for the first flight out of there and Arizona was where she ended up.
When she first moved there she found this bar and became really good friends with the bar tender, Rebecca Barnett. Rebecca was about Lulu's age and they had a lot in common, they are even roommates. Lulu made it a habit to stop at the bar every Friday night.
"Hey Becca" she said taking a seat at the bar "Anything interesting tonight?"
She sighed "Well, the same old stuff, you know a few bar fights here and there, drunks that won't leave…but wow some of them sure are hot…I mean whew"
Lulu laughed "I thought you said you weren't going to do that again. Last time you picked up someone at work, it didn't end so well if I'm not mistaken…didn't he hurl all over your new shoes"
"Dang I loved those shoes" she laughed "Eh, I guess you're right…but it doesn't hurt to look"
"So which one has caught your attention tonight?" Lulu asked
"Who said there was only one?"
Lulu laughed "Jeeze Becca, you'll never learn, huh?"
"What?" she shrugged innocently "I'm just looking, besides…I'm on the clock for a few more hours, so I have to find something to do" She looked at Lulu mischeviously "you know, it wouldn't hurt if you found yourself some stud."
Lulu gave her a look as if to say 'don't start that again'
"Lulu, you should put yourself out there again" she said
Lulu had told her about everything. About Logan, about Johnny and about after that night Logan just left. Then how Johnny kept asking her about what happened and if Logan had hurt her. Johnny was just hovering too much so she broke up with him.
"I don't want to" Lulu said "Not yet anyway"
"Why not?" Rebecca asked with her hands on her hips
"Can we please not talk about this?" Lulu asked "I already told you why"
"I know you did, but Lulu that's all in the past" she said "Forget the past and focus on the now"
"It isn't that simple" Lulu said getting frustrated "My past isn't that easy to forget"
"Come on Lulu, just try" she said hopefully "You deserve to be happy and that's not gonna happen if you don't look for it"
"I don't know" Lulu replied doubtfully "I don't think I'm ready"
"Of course you're ready Lulu" Rebecca said with a smile "Let loose, even if it's just for one night…and afterwards if you tell me that you still aren't ready, then I'll stop bugging you about it"
"Fine, but I really don't know wh…"
"I'll set you up" Rebecca said
"With who?" Lulu asked
"Hmm…how 'bout that guy at the end of the bar? I've seen him in here quite a bit over the past couple years, he seems nice enough…and he's hot!" Rebecca smirked
"Ugh…fine, if it will make you shut up" Lulu joked "I'll go talk to him"
"Good" Rebecca smiled "Tell me later how it went"
"Sure I will" Lulu said sarcastically "Now, where did you say he was?"
"Down at the other end of the bar" Rebecca said "Good luck"
"Yeah" Lulu rolled her eyes.
She got up from her seat and started to walk towards the man at the end of the bar, why am I doing this? she thought to herself. She couldn't see the man's face, but as she got closer she gasped 'It couldn't be…could it?'
