There she was. With her big blue eyes and beautiful blonde hair.
Laughing her sweet laughter. She walked around the corner, but he ran
after
her.
He couldn't see her but kept running. He ran past the park where all the
kids
were
playing and not thinking about how cruel the world could be.
He ran down the street, but he still couldn't see her. Everything
got dark and he heard her scream.brbr
John Carter woke up with the sweat running down his forehead and his heart
beating wildly.
It was a dream. The same dream he had almost every night for almost 3
years
now.
The sun was shining through the window and lit up the little room.
The room was dirty and three half filled vodka bottles were lying on the
floor.
He reached for his pants and walked out to the bathroom.brbr
***brbr
Carter walked through the door of Cook County General Hospital.
His face was pale and it looked like he hadn't eaten for days.
His steps were slow.
Jerry called out his name, but he didn't hear.brbr
"Dr. Carter.....Dr. Carter"brbr
He slowly turned his head.brbr
"Are you on now. I thought Dr.Weaver gave you the day off?" asked Jerry
while he was holding the telephone.brbr
"Yeah...I know. I couldn't sleep so I thought that I might as well do some
paperwork," replied Carter while taking off his coat.brbr
"You're crazy Carter. Paperwork on your day off," shouted Jerry right
before
Carter walked into the lounge.brbr
***brbr
Carter hung up his jacket in his locker and grabbed some paperwork. He sat
down on the sofa
and started to look through the charts.
Abby walked into the lounge and sat right next to Carter on the sofa. She
let
out a sigh
and leaned her head back.brbr
He looked at her and smiled. "Hard day?"brbr
She lifted her head and laughed. "Yeah, don't even ask. What about you?
It looks like you haven't slept in years."brbr
"I haven't," replied Carter depressed.brbr
"Still having nightmares?" asked Abby concerned.brbr
"Yeah." He sighed and placed his head in his hands. Abby patted him on the
shoulders. "You
need to move on, John," she said and walked out of the lounge.brbr
He couldn't. He couldn't move on. Maybe she was still alive.
It was June 12th and it would be exactly 3 years since the last time he
saw her.
June 12th. The worst day of his life. The day Lucy Knight disappeared.
Oh God he loved her. He loved her with all of his heart, but they took her
away
from him.
No one ever saw her again.brbr
***brbr
Carter woke up with a shock. Another nightmare. They still haunted his
mind
and would
never leave him. He grabbed his clothes and looked at the calendar. June
12th.
3 years
without her. How did he survive? He grabbed one of the half filled bottles
and
swallowed
it in one gulp. He just wanted this day to be over, but he had to go to
work.brbr
***brbr
Everyone treated him like he was going to break down every minute.
All the time someone asked him if he was okay. But the day was finally
over. He just wanted to get home, get drunk and sleep for the rest of his
life.
He grabbed his coat and walked over to the desk. Said goodbye and headed
to
the door.
There she was. Her blue eyes, her blonde hair. He couldn't move. Was she
real?
Was it her? He ran over to her and lifted his hand up slowly to touch her
chin.
Afraid that she might go away and it was all in his mind. But she didn't.
She
was
just standing there and smiled at him with her smile that melted his
heart.
Tears started to stream down his cheeks. She was alive. He grabbed her and
hugged her.
Never wanting to let go. He just wanted to stand there and hold her
forever.brbr
"It..It's you. It's really you," he said through his sobs.brbr
She nodded while tears were falling down her face. Their lips met in a passionate kiss.
He was afraid of letting her go, so he just held her in his arms.
He looked down and saw a little girl around 2 years holding Lucy's hand.
She had the same blue eyes and the same blonde hair. Lucy lifted the girl up gently and
spoke to her. "Emily, This is your father," she said while pointing at Carter. Carter had a confused look on his face.
"I was one month pregnant before they kidnapped me", she explained. He couldn't believe this. He had a daughter. She was so beautiful, just like her mother. He gently took Lucy's hand and
they walked out of the ER leaving the staff behind in shock.brbr
