summary:One patient changes things for Luka and Abby
Dedicated to Abigail,whose having a no good very bad day or week or
whatever.To Queen Luby, just cause.
Ally's hair flew behind her, like raven colored scarves. Her emerald
eyes were closed tight as she danced to the muffled radio coming from
the car
*Allie woke up 8AM
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.**
Tom pulled the driver's seat back and closed his eyes.He lit a clove
and lay his lanky body back into the seat and listened to the radio
"Ally!" he yelled,his eyes jerking open."Ally!" tom sprung up from
the car and ran out to the sand. She was gone. Behind him, he heard a
car race away.
His eyes searched the sand then turned around and grazed over the
road.He stopped and stumbled over a crumbled body on the side of the
road, small broken roses in her now tangled hair."Someone call an
ambulance! ALLY!" Tom held her to his chest,"HELP MEE!!"
**********************************
When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.
***********************************
**at the hospital**
"MVA coming,3 1/2 minutes tops" Haleh called to Luka
The hospital was buzzing with noise, making Luka disoriented.There
were too many things to focus on.He had a hard time gathering his
thoughts."Abby?"
She had barely made it to the front admit desk,charts in hand when he
called her name
"I need your help with a trauma"
Abby nodded,"Alright" she turned and looked at Haleh,questionally
"Honey, I don't know what's wrong with him." she answered,"He was
your boyfriend"
Abby just shook her head as she followed Luka to the ambulance
bay."Luka?"
"I'm fine"
***************************************
And you were standing
On the hood of the car
Singing out loud
When the sun came up
***************************************
She looked like Snow White, laid out on the gurney. Even the EMT's
were taken back by her beauty
Tom sat in the corner of the rig,knees tucked under his chin,tears
racing down his cheeks
*****************************************
"What've we got?" LUka stood in front of the opened ambulance
The EMT looked at Abby,"19 year old female, MVA, adominal injuries,
Pressure dropped twice but she's stable"
Abby turned her eyes away
"And him?" Luka pointed to Tom
Tom looked up in time to catch Abby's eyes
Again, she looked away."I got him"
"No" Tom jumped out of the back of the ambulance,"I..I'm fine" he ran
after Luka
Abby watched them go into the hospital before slowly following them
into the hospital
*****************************************
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
******************************************
"I need you to wait in chairs" Luka snapped. He ran the ultrasound
over her belly, Ally's favorite dress ripped in half.
Abby touched Tom's shoulder carefully before he jerked away. But he
didn't move
"Call surgery" Luka looked at Abby, "She needs to go up"
Tom just looked out the window at the busy hospital, the scurrying
people. But this time he didn't cry.
Folding her arms across her chest, Abby stood in front of the broken
teenager,Luka's shadow looming over her."She's going to be fine"
"Ally's all I got" Tom's hands shook
Luka stared at the teenager and Abby intently
"I can't be without her.I'm nothing when I don't have Ally"
*********************************************
The nurse handed Tom a handful of broken crumbled roses before they
closed the elevator doors taking Ally up to surgery.
***********************************************
It felt like a lifetime
And you move like water
I could drown in you.
And I fell so deep once,
Till you pulled me through
*************************************************
************************ 6 1/2 hours later**********
Peter sat next to Tom, leaning over to talk tohim gently
Abby watched the teenager start to crumble and sob, Peter patting his
shoulder akwardly
"They're emancipated from their families" Luka stood behind
her,putting his arms in his coat
"So she really was all he had" Abby said quietly
Luka nodded
"Going home?"
He nodded again,"Yeah.You?"
"Yeah" Abby replied.She watched him walk out the of the ambulance
entrance and turn the corner
************************************
You would tell me
"No one is allowed to be so proud
They never reach out
When they're giving up."
*************************************
**in the lounge**
"Mr.Robinson" Deb groaned into the phone,"I know what I told your
wife" she looked up and smiled at Abby
Abby gave a small smile back. Then continued walking to her locker.
Hanging off her name tag was a wreath of small roses."Jing Mei?" Abby
turned around, holding the flowers delicately in her hands
Deb grinned,pointing to the shadow behind her."I'm going to have to
call you back,Mr.Robinson"
"Luka?"
"Busy?" his voice was shaky,"I was wondering if we could talk"
Abby put the roses down on the table and went back to get the things
out of her locker
Gently Luka placed the roses in her hair
Abby bit her lip before turning around to face him
****************************************
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
****************************************
"I.." He said akwardly, jamming his hands in his coat pocket
"Yeah.." Abby nodded,the roses falling to one side."We should talk"
He held the door open for her as they made their way to the El
station.
"I'm sorry Abby" Luka almost whispered as they waited next to each
other for the El
Abby crept her ice cold hands in his pocket and rested her head on
his arm."I know" she replied
He brought his hand over her clasped hands and gave them a squeeze.
