"Sick Cycle Carousel"
Characters: AL/JC and a little Luka thrown in
Rated: PG-13 for mature elements
Song: "Sick Cycle Carousel" by Lifehouse
Takes place after "Fear of Commitment" but Maggie never showed up at Abby's in the end and there wasn't that whole scene with Abby and Luka when Abby was in the bathrobe.
I do not own Abby, Carter, Kim, Kerry, or Luka; they belong to NBC. I am only writing this story because I enjoy watching the show. This is my first serious attempt at a fan fiction so please don't be too hard on me.
I went to the Matchbox 20 concert last month and Lifehouse started for them and I enjoyed them so much I went out and got their CD the next day! Their second song on the album caught my ear and I decided to put it in a story. "Hanging By a Moment" has been used on several episodes this season, and this song is just as good. If you haven't heard it, I suggest you download it on Napster or whatever.
If shame had a face I think it would kind of look like mine
If it had a home would it be my eyes
Would you believe me if I said I am tired of this
Now here we go now one more time
John Carter silently drove home from the ER. It had been a long day. He had had a long shift and was happy to finally be going home. As he pulled up in the driveway though, he noticed a dark figure near the door. Suddenly worried, he parked in such a way that the headlights were facing in the direction of the door. What he saw amazed him. He quickly got out of the car and went towards the body curled up next to his door.
"Abby, what are you doing here? Are you all right? What happened?" Carter looked down at the sniffling woman.
"I really don't want to talk about it. Can we just go inside please."? Abby looked up with her eyes and silently begged.
"Yeah, sure, no problem." Carter said as he unlocked the door and helped Abby up and into the house. "Do you want me to call Luka for you?"
"Ha, no, we're...uh...not together anymore." Abby said starting to cry a little again.
"Ah, so that's what this is about. Gee, I'm really sorry." Carter said sincerely. "You wanna talk about it?"
"No..I just need to lie down somewhere." Abby snapped and immediately regretted it with a yawn.
"Sure, you can take my room. I'll sleep on the couch."
"Are you sure? I mean, I'm really find just sleeping on the couch." Abby said glancing back at Carter.
"No problem at all. Feel free to take whatever you want and use whatever you need." Carter said with a shrug.
"You have no idea what this means to me. Thank you so much."
"Hey, what are friends for?" Carter said and flashed his one of a kind smile at his friend.
"Thanks again Carter." Abby said and started walking towards the bedroom. If only she had come under different circumstances. She didn't want to be in Carter's way, but she couldn't go back to Luka.
I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
You better believe I tried to beat this
The next morning Abby awoke to the smell of something cooking in the direction of the kitchen. She groggily got out of bed. It didn't seem like that long ago that she had fallen asleep. Lately she hadn't been in a bed alone and it seemed kind of strange.
"And you cook too! You never cease to amaze me." Abby said, coming into the kitchen with a smile.
"Ah, you're awake!" Carter said smiling. "I didn't know what you would want to eat, so I basically made everything I could find. Let's see, we have omelets, bacon, pancakes, fruit, juice, bagels…"
"You really shouldn't have gone through all this trouble."
"No trouble at all. I was going to clean out my refrigerator this weekend anyways, so now I have a head start."
"I guess since you've been so nice I owe you an explanation." Abby said sitting down by the kitchen table. "Luka proposed to me last night when I got home."
When will this end it goes on and on over and over and over again
Keep spinning around I know it won't stop
Till I step down from this for good
"Wow!" Carter was genuinely speechless.
"My reaction exactly. I guess I kind of freaked out. I asked him how he could do this to me. He didn't understand and I couldn't explain it to him." Abby said and continued with a sigh. "I…uh….I think I'm in love with someone else, you see."
"Oh." Were the only words that could come out of Carter's mouth. He had just heard the girl he had a secret crush on reveal to him that she dumped her serious boyfriend because she was in love with someone else. This meant he would have to see her suffer with someone else now. Watch them kiss her and love her while he stood on the side lines…the good friend.
"Carter..John..I..uh...think I'm in love with you actually." Abby said then became embarrassed and turned away as to not see his reaction.
I never thought I'd end up here
I never thought I'd be standing where I am
I guess I kind of thought I'd be standing where I am
I guess I kind of thought it would be easier than this
I guess I was wrong now one more
Time this is a sick cycle carousel this is a sick cycle Yeah
"Wow" Carter said again totally amazed. Could this really be happening? Would he wake up in a minute back in his lonely apartment by himself wishing he were wish someone else, that someone who appeared to be spilling out her feelings for him at the moment.
"I can understand if you're upset."
"Why would I be upset?" Carter walked over to Abby. "You wanna know something?"
"Sure." Abby said still turned around.
"I think I'm in love with you too." Carter said and put his hand on her shoulder and leaned down to kiss her cheek. But instead, Abby turned stunned to look at Carter and caught his lips on hers. They stayed in the kiss for a moment until Carter broke the kiss to look at Abby's reaction. She was still slightly embarrassed, but the sudden tears that started rolling down her cheek hid it.
"Shit." Abby silently cursed when she realized she was crying.
Carter took her face in his hands and smiled at her. "Please don't cry, Abby. Everything will be all right…"
"Will it?" Abby said quietly before putting her head in her hands and crying again.
