The Lucky One Page #5

This was Drake's.

It was meant to keep him alive.

I wish it had.

I wish it had.

You should go.

Now.

Logan, wait.

Man. You sure?

You need it more than I do.

Take care of your mom, all right?

I thought I was the guy next to you.

You're my best buddy.

I'll always be next to you.

Tell Zeus I said bye.

- Here you go.

- You're welcome.

That's when you know

I tried to warn her.

I tried to tell her he was no good.

She didn't wanna listen to me.

- About ready here, bud?

- Mm.

That's when you know

Let's do it.

You ain't driving nowhere.

- And here's your change.

- Yep.

- Get your coat.

- All right.

Appreciate it, J.D.

Hey, no problem, man.

- Thank you.

- Whoo.

Hey, hang on, man. Stop the car.

- I think you need to let it go--

- Hey, stop the goddamn car!

He ain't worth it.

Sh*t.

Hey. Hey, soldier boy.

Don't you walk away from me

when I talk to you.

Mm.

Keith, come on.

You ain't got nothing to say for yourself?

Zeus!

- Jesus.

- Easy, boy. Easy.

- Stand back. Stand back.

Man, easy.

Are you crazy?

- Easy.

Come on, Keith. Put it down.

- Shut up.

Hey. Hang on, bud.

Hang on.

You're not a bad guy, Keith.

Zeus.

Okay, folks. Let's go, let's move along.

Everything's fine.

Could have killed him.

I talked to Sheriff Grey.

He gonna look the other way.

Now, come on, Keith. Hey.

You pull yourself together now, all right?

Gonna be fine.

Gonna be fine.

Yep-

It'll all blow over by the time

the election rolls around.

You're not the only one whose life

got better when he came here.

You might not believe it, but I think

he was meant to find that photo.

Right. Right. Of course.

It was all part of a plan.

None of us are in control of anything

that happens. It's all down to fate.

Well, you call it what you like,

but I think it happened for a reason.

So you're saying...

Drake died so that Logan could live?

No. Honey.

Sweetheart.

It's not Logan's fault that he survived.

I'm on it, Aces.

"Aces"?

Zeus, stay here. I'll be right back.

Keith?

What are you doing?

I always loved these plates.

What do you want, Keith?

What do I want?

I want...

I just want us to be a family again.

Please.

Can we be a family again?

I can change.

I have, I've changed.

I can make you happy, Beth.

I can. I can make you happy again.

Keith...

I know you care about Ben...

but it's not gonna happen for us.

You have to let it go.

Let it go.

Why should I let it go?

All right, maybe I should just go on

and take Ben, now.

Huh? Take him away for good.

Can't say I didn't warn you.

Why don't I just take him

right now?

Where's he at? Benny.

- Ben? Ben.

- Ben.

Ben.

Benny!

Hey! Come back!

- He's heading for the tree house.

- Ben! Come back here!

Ben! Ben!

Ben! Come back here!

Benny! Come here!

It's dangerous out there!

Beth!

Go with her, Logan!

Beth!

Ben!

Come on! Just walk back to me!

Walk back to me right here!

I can't, Dad. It's too shaky.

Just wait right there, I'm coming to you.

Dad, I'm scared.

- Aah! Ben!

- Aah!

Help!

Help!

Help! Help me, Dad!

- Aah! Hang on, Ben!

- Help!

Help!

- I can't--

- I'm slipping!

- Help!

- Help me, Dad!

Help! Dad! No!

Hold on, Ben!

Ben! Just stay there!

I can't, Dad!

Hang on, buddy, I'm coming!

- Dad!

- Hang on!

- Just hang on, I'm coming!

- I can't hold on!

I got you. I got you.

- I need you to let go and grab onto me.

- I can't.

I can't.

Yeah, you can. Now come on.

You can do it.

Ben! Ben!

Keep your arm there.

Just hold on tight.

- Ben!

- Hold on tight and don't let go.

You're gonna be all right.

Logan!

Logan, I need your help!

Ben! Ben!

Ben! Ben!

Here comes Logan.

- I got you.

- Come on. Take him.

- My leg's caught. Take him.

- I'll come back for you.

- Dad!

- It's okay. I'm fine.

- Dad! Dad!

- Almost there.

I'm gonna go back for Keith.

No!

Dad! No!

Here,

I don't want any problems down there.

So keep this road clear so we can get

these vehicles out of here.

Bring it.

Get back to the bridge,

and make sure it's secure, all right?

You're all good.

Thank you.

Take him.

Okay?

Thank you for saving Benny.

I didn't save him.

Your son did.

All right.

I'm sorry.

Did they find my dad yet?

How's Ben doing?

- Does he know?

- No.

Poor Keith.

I wish I could have done something more.

You did a wonderful thing.

You and Keith did a wonderful thing.

I'll go get Beth.

Thank you.

I came back because I found this

in the book that Ben gave me.

That's your brother, Drake, isn't it?

Yeah.

I know what happened to him.

I was there.

What do you mean

that you were there?

Our platoons crossed paths

during the night raid.

We were ambushed.

There was this sergeant

that they called "Aces."

One of his men got hit.

He didn't think about himself

for one second.

He just took care of his man.

And then I found your picture

the next morning in the rubble outside.

He must have lost it on the way in.

I know I've made it hard for you

to believe the truth.

And I'm sorry for a lot of things,

but nothing more than that.

I just wanted you to know...

he didn't die for nothing.

Logan, wait.

Don't go.

You belong here.

With us.

Everyone has their own destiny.

Not everyone makes the choice

to follow it.

And I'm lucky I did.

Birthday boy, you old enough to steer?

Yeah, I am 9, you know.

Aye, aye, captain.

Take it easy.

- Little more left.

- That way. That way.
