Unforgettable Moments

AN: Okay, wow. I haven't looked at this story in three years. A lot has definitely changed since then. My style or writing definitely was not good. There are so many things wrong with this story but I wanted to finish it. Alright, let's rock.

Susan raced down the stairs of Abby's apartment building, skipping most of the steps. She ran out to the sidewalk where everyone was standing around Abby.

"Move aside," she pushed her way through the small crowd, "Don't worry, I'm a doctor."

Susan kneeled next to Abby; her pants were soaked with Abby's blood. She felt her neck for a pulse.

"Damnit, Abby," Susan scolded her friend who was now unconscious.

"Did anyone call an ambulance?" Susan asked the people watching.

"I did," a middle-aged woman stepped forward. "They said it would take ten minutes."

"That's not soon enough," Susan growled pulling off her coat.

She carefully placed it on top of Abby's lifeless body. She looked for where the blood was coming from but there was so much of it that she couldn't tell. Suddenly, sirens could be heard off at a distance. Susan grabbed her cell phone out of her pocket and quickly dialed County.

"County," she heard Frank grumble.

"Frank, it's Susan," she began, "I'm bringing Abby in."

"For what?" he wondered.

"Um," Susan searched for the words to explain the situation, "I think she was trying to commit suicide."

Frank stayed silent on the other end. Susan hung up as she saw an ambulance turning onto the street.

"What happened?" a paramedic asked as he pulled a gurney out of the back of the ambulance.

One of the men in the crowd stepped forward.

"I saw the whole thing," he said quietly, "She was standing in the window, she looked inside, and then leaped out the window."

The paramedics gently placed Abby onto the gurney and rolled her over to the ambulance.

"I'm Susan Lewis," she said following them, "Her name's Abby Lockhart. We both work at County."

"Hop in," a paramedic said while talking Abby's vitals.

Susan was silent the whole ride. She thought about the past week's events. She didn't snap out of her trance until the paramedics opened the doors, announcing their arrival. She climbed out of the ambulance to see Kerry and Luka hovering over Abby.

"Oh, God," Kerry said, tears in her eyes, "Why…how…what happened?"

They made their way into a trauma room. Sam walked over to where Susan was waiting.

"Hey," she smiled, "How are you holding up?"

Susan kept her eyes on the door, watching her friend being worked on.

"I've been better," she sighed.

Suddenly, the monitor let out a long beep.

Susan began to cry. She watched for half an hour as her colleagues tried to restart Abby's heart."

Kerry looked out at her with sad, tearful eyes. Susan held her head down and turned to leave. She heard Luka state the time of death before walking out of the hospital. Sam simply watched her walk away.

"This week has definitely been filled with unforgettable moments."
