~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

Abby Lockhart quietly unlocked the door to her apartment and walked in. She quickly shut and locked the door behind her and flopped onto the sofa. She silently thought for a moment before standing up and walking into the kitchen. After opening the fridge and grabbing the milk out then closing it again she let out a sigh. She had had a long day. Carter frustrated her. She had agreed to be his sponsor because she thought she knew what he was going through. Also to be his friend. A friend. Ha, that was a joke. A friend was supposed to be someone who listened and took your advice, not completely ignored you. That was when she had decided she couldn't be his sponsor anymore. She didn't have the strength to deal with him.

You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open

John Carter was lost. He didn't know what to do with himself. After his shift was over, he just walked. He didn't know where he was going. He just needed to get to somewhere where he could try to unravel his thoughts. His first thought was to call Abby. Then he remembered the harsh words that she had said to him right before she stormed out of the lounge. What she said really affected him. He had never felt this way about someone before and wasn't sure what to do with himself. He felt like he needed to be with Abby. He couldn't stand to be apart from her. Luka. That was his problem. He couldn't stand to see her with him. Every time he saw the Croatian standing next to her or kissing her or talking to her he felt this surge of jealousy go through his body. He should have told her sooner, now she may never talk to him again.

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

Kerry couldn't believe she had actually told Kim how she felt. She had never been like this before. She had always made sure to stay strong and hide her emotions and not let her guard down. How could she suddenly act like this? She had never felt this way about anyone, especially a female. Of course she had always let her thoughts wonder to a same sex relationship, but she had never put any action under the thoughts. The kiss she had shared with Kim had been a turning point for her. After telling Kim how she really felt in Doc Magoo's Kerry had gone home and actually cried. It was like nothing she had ever felt before.

Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken
Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

Kim had been with a lot of women before. She realized that there was no denying her sexuality when she was a senior in high school. Before that she had always gone out with guys, but there were never any true feelings. When she was in college though she met a women who was unlike anyone else she had ever met. Elaine had told her right away that she was a lesbian and that had amazed her. After spending a few weeks with Elaine, Kim realized that she loved her and not just in a friendly way. It was something she had never seriously thought about, but always knew. Her parents had always supported her. When she had told them she had something serious to tell them, they were just relieved that she wasn't pregnant. Elaine had died Kim's last year of med school. She was in a car crash. Kim had also been in the car, but had walked away without a scratch, while her friend lost her life. Kim blamed herself because she had been driving. When she met Kerry, she thought she had found another Elaine. But now she was hurt again. Once she realized how she felt about Kerry she realized that she couldn't be her friend. When she found out that Kerry wasn't homosexual she felt let down. When Kerry had kissed her though, she felt a surge of hope. But when Kerry let her down again she felt heartbroken.

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

Carter couldn't sleep so he picked up the phone and dialed Abby's number.

"Hello?" Abby wearily answered.

"Hey, it's Carter."

"John, do you know what time it is?" Abby snapped.

"I know it's late Abby, but I really need to talk to you."

"Okay fine, you have my attention, what?"

"I spoke to Kerry."

"You couldn't tell me this tomorrow?" Abby said sarcastically.

"You didn't let me finish."

"Okay, fine. What did she say."

"Nothing surprisingly. She had this stressed out look on her face and she seemed to be in a hurry."

"I still can't believe you woke me up to tell me this."

"Fine, there's one more thing."

"Yes?"

"I….I….."

"You…??"

"I want to thank you for talking some sense into me." Carter said quickly.

"Oh, okay. No problem. That's what friends are for." Abby said slightly disappointed.

"Okay, I'm sorry for waking you up, goodnight Abby." Carter said with a sigh.

"Nice talking to you Carter, see you tomorrow." With that Abby hung up.

"That and I love you…" Carter sighed again and hung up the phone.

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

The next morning when Kerry opened her eyes all she could think about was Kim. She kept seeing those eyes watching her. Even though it was 4am she felt this need to speak to her. Sitting up in her bed, Kerry picked up her phone and dialed the now familiar number.

"Hello?" Kim answered.

"Um, yes, hi Kim."

"Kerry? Is that you?" Kim said puzzled.

"Yes. Look, I'm sorry to wake you." Kerry started to explain.

"Uh, no problem."

"Look, I really need to tell you something."

"I'm listening." Kim answered slightly annoyed.

"I…I…I think I'm in love with you and I don't know what to do because I've never felt this way about someone before."

"I don't think right now is a good time to discuss this." Kim answered.

"That's all you have to say?" Kerry said shocked.

"For now." Kim answered with a smile on her face. "I really would like to get some sleep. How about we meet for dinner tonight? You can pick the place. We'll discuss it later."

"Okay, sure."

"G'nite."

"Good night." And with that, Kerry hung up with a smile on her face.
