Lost & Found
Part 1: True Feelings
A friend has been lost but true feelings have been found.
Kerry Weaver was having a normal day in the ER. She had to deal with a few rude patients and Malucci, but she didn't care. She was happy. It was Thursday . That meant it was pizza and video night for her and John. For tonight's video they had chosen Deep Impact. They'd seen it a million times but it was one of Kerry's favorites. During the sad parts she would cry into Carter's shoulder and she loved the way he'd always comment on how much she looked like Laura Innes one of the actresses in the movie.
Kerry smiled as she headed for the lounge. She was getting her coat and shoulder bag from her locker when Carol stuck her head in the door. "Kerry there's a phone call for you on line two" Kerry smiled "Ok Thank you Carol." She walked over to the phone. "Hello this is Kerry Weaver" Kerry's smile quickly turned to a frown. Her voice quivered as she spoke. "Oh god, no, when?, Yes. No, ok, Thank you." Kerry hung up the phone grabbed her stuff and ran from the hospital.
Half an hour later Kerry walked into her house. She noticed that John already had a piping hot pizza and the Deep Impact video out on the table. She dropped her coat and bag on the floor and just stood there. Carter emerged from the kitchen holding a two liter of Pepsi and 2 cups. He smiles. "Hey Kerry ready for video night?" Kerry didn't answer him. She just stood there. Carter noticed her gripping her crutch so tightly her knuckles were turning white. She looked like she was going to fall. He sits the pop and the cups on the table and races to Kerry's side. He whispers "Kerry"
Kerry fell into his arms and begun to sib. Carter just stood there holding her tightly in his arms letting her cry. They stayed that way for several minutes. Kerry pulled away enough to look at him. She looked at John's tee-shirt. It was soaked from her tears. She lightly touches the wet side. She whispers "I'm sorry." He says "Its ok" He takes her hand and gently leads her to the couch. They sit down. Carter turns so he's facing her. She had her head down. He gently lifts her face so she's looking at him. He whispers "What is it Kerry, Tell me what has you so upset." Kerry looks at him. "I got a phone call at work today and" She broke down in tears again. She whispers "John, Gabe he, he passed away last night"
Carter pulled her into his embrace and gently rocked her. He had a few tears in his own eyes he had really liked Dr. Lawrence he had taught him alot during his short stay at County. He whispers "I'm so sorry honey , I'm so sorry." Kerry whispers "Its not fair John everybody leaves me Lucy, Jeanie," Carter stopped her " Kerry Jeanie didn't die" Kerry whispers "No but I never see her anymore and now Gabe left me too." Carter gently places his hands on her face and caressing her tear stained cheeks. He whispers "I won't leave you Kerry" She smiled a little feeling herself being drawn in by John's kindness. They looked at each other for a minute. Carter slowly lowered his lips to Kerry's and kissed her softly. When he realized what he had done he quickly pulled away. He whispers "I'm sorry Kerry" She whispered "Don't be" Fresh tears started to slide down her cheeks. She laid her head on Carter's shoulder and continued to cry until she fell asleep.
Once Carter realized Kerry had fallen asleep he gently lifted her into his arms and carried her up to her bedroom. He gently laid her on her bed and covered her with a blanket. He pushed a few loose strands of red hair out of her face. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. He whispers "I love you Kerry" He wished he had the courage to say those words to her when she was awake.
He walked toward the door when Kerry sat up and cried "John please don't leave me!" Carter walked back over to her bed. He sat down next to her. He whispers "Shh, its ok I'm here, I promise I won't leave you Kerry." He lays down beside her. Kerry snuggles up next to him resting her head on his chest. Carter put his arm around her and held her close. The room was quiet when Kerry whispers "I love you too John." Carter couldn't believe it. She heard him and she said she loved him too. He pulled her a little closer to him. He stared up at the ceiling and thought to himself "I hope this means Kerry want to be more than friends too.
