This is a fanfic set when theyn were all in High School, all though I'm pretty sure it's today and not like 20 years ago :P
It's pretty evil. I usually refer to it as my Killer fanfic since I write on it whenevver I'm in a bad/killer mood. It's my way of not hurting real life people (Yeah... My friends say I'm the next 'World Dictator'... Or maybe just the next big serial killer)

Anyways... I know I'm really evil towards Abby (Not so much in the beginning, but trust me, IT WILL COME), which is kind of ironic since she is definitely my faveorite character / pretty much the reason for why I watch the show...
But I think that's why I'm evil to her... There's absolutely no fun in hurting the people I don't like :P

The fanfiction is rated M due to some, well, let's just say EVIL things later in the story...

I'm not that professionel at writing fanfictions, and english is NOT my first language, so be nice when reading it :P

I'd really, REALLY love it if you reviw... That would totally make my day :P

I know this chapter is short... there WILL be longer ones! (Yeah... already have 19 chapters written)... And this is pretty, or well, VERY bad!! It will get way better!! Both the story AND the writing :P

Oh yeah... the disclaimer: I do not own ER!! I do own some of the characters, but well... Don't expect to earn any money on them :P

Far From Perfect

Chapter 1 - Introduction

Abby leaned up against the big, old willow tree behind her school. She always hid out there during lunch. Opening her purse, she took out a piece of dry bread. She didn't have any money to buy lunch, and this was all she could find at home. She had found an apple too, but she had given that to Eric.

Breaking a little piece off, she closed her eyes and began eating it. Only four more months of school and freshman year.

Suddenly something got in the way of the sun, making Abby open one eye to see a boy standing in front of her. She'd never seen him before.

"Can I sit?" He asked her kind of shy. He had some kind of accent. Abby shrugged her shoulders.

"Why not? Where are you from?"

"Croatia. Just moved here last week. I'm Luka." Abby gave him a weak smile before looking at her hands in her lap.

"I'm Abby." For a few seconds none of them said anything before Abby turned to look at him.

"You know, you really shouldn't be talking with me." A little smile formed on his face and Abby couldn't help but notice how good he looked.

"Why, are you a trouble maker?" Abby sighed and turned to look back at her hands.

"No. But according to everyone here, I'm the school slut. So unless you want a bad reputation, you really shouldn't be hanging out here." Luka just looked questionable at her.

"Slut?" Abby let out a little chuckle.

"I'm sorry, my English isn't the best." She quickly glanced up at him and tucked a strand of her elbow long highlighted, dark brown hair behind her ear.

"That's okay. A slut is a person who sleeps with everyone." Luka looked shocked at her for a few seconds, before shaking his head.

"So is it true? 'Cause you don't look like one of those people." Biting her lip, she looked at him, amazed that he had actually asked her that. Slowly she began shaking her head and looked away.

"No. None of the things they say are true. I've never slept with anyone. They just like spreading false rumors." When she looked back up, she saw Luka was starring at her. She was just about to say something when the bell rang. She quickly got up and brushed off her jeans.

"Well, I better get to PE." Before he could say or do anything, Abby had disappeared back into the building.

"I'm home." Abby yelled as she entered the small apartment. She didn't even get to close the front door before her 9-year-old brother came out of their room, crying.

"Eric, what's wrong?" She quickly kicked the door closed behind her and walked over to her brother.

"The coffee machine didn't wanna work, so mom began yelling and throwing with stuff." Throwing her bag on the floor she put her arms around him.

"It's okay. It's not your fault. Did she leave?" He nodded and removed the last tears from his face. Picking up her bag, she led him back into their room where she sat him on the bed.

"Got any homework?" Eric nodded.

"Math and English." Abby grabbed his books from his backpack and put them next to him.

"Okay, I'm gonna have to go to work. I think there's still a single slice of bread left if you get really hungry." Eric just nodded, listening to his sister. "I'll try to buy some food on the way back. But if I'm not home by 9:30, promise me you'll go to bed." Once again Eric nodded.

"I promise."

"If you have any trouble with your homework, I'll help you tomorrow before school, okay?" Nodding, Eric opened his book to do his math as Abby left.

Abby removed the sweat from her forehead after she threw away the trash bag.

"Wyzcenski, table 4 needs cleaned." She rolled her eyes, but careful that her boss wouldn't notice. Even here everybody hated her.

"Abby?" Turning around she saw Luka walking towards her. This was so embarrassing.

"Hi." She nodded towards the bag in his hand. "Like McDonald's food, huh?" He nodded.

"It's okay. But I might have to come here a little more often, since you work here." Abby shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, gotta earn money somehow."

"Wyzcenski, what are you doing? You're supposed to be working, not chitty-chatting." Biting her lip she quickly turned back around and continued wiping the table.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow at school." With that Luka left.

"Wyzcenski, you're staying late today." She just nodded, knowing she couldn't do anything about it.

It was almost midnight when she came home. After staying over an hour longer than she should have, she had to take another route home, just so she could get some food. As quietly as possible she put the little food she'd gotten away before heading for her room. Eric was fast asleep and all of his schoolwork was packed away. A sad smile formed on Abby's face. Eric was still so little. He didn't know everything what was going on. He was still so innocent. Abby felt more like a mother to him than a sister. She had practically raised him, and she still took care of him, making sure he got food and got to school. Putting her stuff away, she quietly slipped into bed, and before long she was fast asleep as well.
