Chapter :1 Haunted By The Past
Kerry Weaver was busy getting ready for her early morning shift at County General's ER. She was standing by her dresser she was looking in the mirror putting her earrings on. She glanced over at the calendar on the wall she dropped her earring when she realized what day it was. She sighed and whispered "12 years ago today" as she reached down and rubbed her bad leg. She finished getting ready and headed down to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. She walked to the counter and poured herself a cup of coffee. She must have been in another world because she didn't see John sitting at the table nor did she hear him call her name.
Carter walks over to her "Kerry are you ok?" She blinks "Oh morning John sorry I didn't hear you." He looks at her. "Is something bothering you." Kerry sets her mug down "I'm fine John I'll see you at work."
Kerry was now sitting in her car. Maybe she should have told John about the accident about her daughter but she was afraid she had never shared the horrible details of the accident that took her daughter and her ability to walk normally 12 years ago. Tears slide down Kerry's cheeks as she drove off to work.
Carter had lived with Kerry over a year he knew her pretty well and he knew something was bothering her. He wished she would open up to him the way he had opened up to her. He had shared all his feelings about the stabbing on Valentines Day two years ago that had claimed the life of one of his closest friends Lucy Knight and had almost claimed his life. He sighed "I have to talk to her." He too headed for work.
A few hours later Kerry was waiting at the ambulance bay doors with Luka, Carol ,Abby, and Doug, They were waiting for the EMT's . Just then Doris Pickman rolls in the first victim of a MVA she says "33 year old female driver arrested twice on the scene." Shep came in with the next victim he says "3 year old girl back seat passenger." Kerry's head was whirling she thought "Its 12 years ago all over again." Doug took the little girl in to a trauma room and started to treat her while Luka and Abby took the woman to another trauma room.
Kerry walked to the trauma room where Doug was working on the little girl. She was about to ask Doug how the little girl was doing when Doug looks up at the clock "time of death 4:45." Tears swelled up in Kerry's eyes she whispered "Serena." She left the room and went to see how Luka was doing but he too had called time of death.
Kerry made her way to the lounge she collapsed on the sofa and burst into tears. Carter arrived early for his shift so he decides to grab a soda in the lounge. He walks in and sees Kerry sitting on the sofa crying. He asks "Kerry what happened are you ok." Kerry looks up at him "No I'm not ok I'm crippled and I always lose the people I love." Carter sits down next to her. "What's wrong why are you talking like that" She whispers "We lost 2 patients today a little girl and the young woman that was with her it was 12 years ago all over again." Carter looks at her. "What was 12 years ago."
Kerry takes a deep breath "John I never told anyone what I'm about to tell you I've always been to scared to talk about it." Carter says "I'm here for you and I always will be." She nodded. "Thank you John." She whispers "It happened 12 years ago I was fresh out of medical school I was engaged to a guy named Ethan Rogers he was a doctor too, a surgeon." "When we first started going out he was great." "After we got engaged I found out I was pregnant." "Serena was born and Ethan was a good father." "Then when she was almost 3 he changed he started to get violent towards me and Serena." "One night he came home after working a double shift and he got mad because I hadn't cleaned the house. I tried telling him it was hard to get everything done between my shifts at the hospital and taking care of a toddler." "He started screaming and cursing at me. He woke up Serena" . "He walked over to the crib and grabbed her told her to shut up and he threw her like a rag doll." Kerry's eyes filled with tears. Carter rubbed her back gently.
Kerry continued. "I went to pick her up and Ethan grabbed me by my hair and said don't touch her Kerry. He threw me on the couch and he," Kerry paused. She started to tremble as the memories came back to haunt her. She continues. "he raped me." "I decided I had enough. So I waited until Ethan had fallen asleep. I packed up Serena and left." We were in the car I was just driving I didn't know where I was going I didn't care as long as it was far away from Ethan." "Serena started crying. I was crying too. I turned my head to see her to try and calm her down and when I turned around I was staring into the headlights of a semi truck it was to late to swerve." The car was totaled. my leg was crushed under the dashboard and Serena," Kerry was sobbing now she looked at Carter. She whispers "Oh John I killed my baby."
Carter pulls Kerry into his arms . "Shh its ok Kerry it wasn't your fault." He whispered. "Yes it was I was driving and I wasn't paying attention." She whispered as she suddenly pushed him away. "Kerry what's wrong ." He asks. "You have to stay away from me I'm bad luck everyone I care about gets hurt." She whispered "Kerry that's ridiculous you're not bad luck". "Yes I am I killed my daughter, You and Lucy were stabbed in my ER and Jeanie she's sick" She whispered as tears filled her eyes again. She looks down and says "That's why I'm always alone and unloved everyone I get close to gets hurt" she whispered.
Carter gently lifts Kerry's chin so she's looking at him. "You didn't kill Serena or Lucy and you know Jeanie's illness has nothing to do with you." He wipes away Kerry's tears with his thumb. "And you're not alone you have me and I love you. That last statement had shocked her . "What did you say." She asked softly. He smiles a little "I said I love you" he whispered.
Kerry just sat there unsure of what to say. " I didn't tell you about my past so you could pretend you love me" She finally whispered. Carter looks at her. "I'm not pretending I've felt this way about you for awhile now I've just been too afraid to tell you." She looks away from him. "Please John don't do this stop playing games." She whispered. He gently turns her back toward him and looked into her eyes. " I'm not playing Kerry" he lowers his lips to hers and gently kisses her. Kerry looked at him and smiled as she gently kissed him back.
Carter smiled "Why don't we get out of here, put the past behind us for awhile" he said softly. Kerry smiled "Don't you have to start your shift." she asked He smiled." I think I'll take the day off." She looked at him "Oh yeah" He nodded yep, when you're dating the boss you can get away with things like that." He said with a small giggle. Kerry playfully pushes him "Oh really and what makes you think your boss is such a push over ." She asked. Carter smiles "Easy all I have to do is tickle her and she's putty in my hands." He comes at her with his fingers moving . Kerry lifts up her crutch "Don't even think about it Dr. Carter." He takes her hand "Lets go." He whispered. Kerry smiles "Okay, but first there's something I want to say." "I love you John" she whispers as she stands on her tiptoes and kisses him softly. Carter smiles at her and they walk out of the lounge together.
Kerry's head was whirling she shared her story with John . She found out he felt the same way she did and now they were dating. She couldn't believe it her Kerry Weaver dating John Carter.
