Back to Your Heart
Part 2
Carter stood at the gate where he would say he would meet Susan, he must of stood there for hours waiting when he finally saw his old friend "Susan over here" he yelled out
"Carter!" she yelled as she ran up to hug him
"How the hell have you been Carter?" she asked as they went to get her luggage
"Nothing much same old same old, I'm not in surgery anymore I moved down to the ER and I'm a resident" he said as he grabbed her first bag off the carousel
"That's great, I knew you wouldn't stay in surgery you were better at handling patients in the ER" she said. They walked out to his car and put her stuff in his trunk
"So do you have someplace to say?" he asked
"No I'm kind of stuck at going to a hotel," she said
"Well now I cant have that Susan you can stay at my place until you find somewhere to stay" he said
"No I don't want to impose Carter" she said
"No, No, that's okay I live by myself and I have nobody else around me so you might as well stay with me, come on we can talk about old times" he said
"Okay, but just for a couple of weeks" she said "Then I want you to kick me out," she said
"Deal" he said shaking her hand. They pulled up to his house and got out of the car
"Wow Carter this house is beautiful" she said when they walked in the house
"Yep it belonged to my grandparents on my mothers side and they moved and gave it to me" he said "Make yourself comfortable want anything to drink" he asked
"Depends what do you have?" she asked
"Lets see I have Heinekens, Budweiser, Wine and some funny looking stuff" he said looking through his refrigerator
"Ill take a Budweiser" she said "Who is this she asked as she picked up a picture of Lucy
"Oh that's Lucy Knight she was a med-student I had" he said looking at the picture frame with tears almost in his eyes
"Carter what happened?" she asked seeing that he was upset
"I don't want to talk about it" he said putting the picture back up on the mantle "It was something that happened two years ago and I tried to put it out of my mind"
"Carter you can't play games with me I know when you are upset I've known you too long" she said putting a hand on his shoulder
"Well it was two years ago on Valentines day and she was taking care of a scytsophrenic patient and was asking me for help and I was kind of ignoring her" he said sitting down
"Almost like Peter did to you" she said sitting next to him
"Yeah, well I had tried to get her situated with him and take care of another patient, and later that night I went in search of her in the room seeing if she had handed him off and I went into the room and found a Valentines Day card laying on the floor that one of the nurses were passing out I bent down to pick it up and I was reading it when her patient came up from behind me and stabbed me twice in the back" he said
"Oh my god Carter" she said with her hand over her mouth
"Yeah and I really didn't realize what was going on and I went to grab for something and ended up grabbing for a tray that was there and screamed for help but nobody could hear me cause they had the music up really loud at the admit desk cause they were having a party. So I end up falling to the ground and looked over and found out that son of a bitch had stabbed her too and she was laying there in a pool of her own blood" he said almost on the verge of tears
"Oh Carter I cant believe that, what happened next?" she asked
"Well I passed out and next thing I know I wake up on a gurney with them working over me and then they ran me up to the OR Peter worked on me and I came out of it fine but it turned out that she had a pulmonary embolus and died of it" he said
"Oh Carter I'm really sorry I wish I had known" she said giving him a hug
"Yeah well I really wasn't open to what happened and kind of shut people out and ended up going to rehab in Atlanta for a drug problem I had from taking narcotics trying to shut out the pain in my back and mostly in my heart" he said
"Carter you have been through a lot" she said
"Well we better get you set up for bed I've got a guest bedroom set up for unexpected guests and you can sleep in there tonight" he said changing the subject
"Yeah well I'm going to go to bed now goodnight Carter" she said heading into the bedroom
"Goodnight Susan" he said
