Chapter 4: Unforgivable

Carter sat for hours replaying his conversation with Susan in his head. He looked at Kerry still laying motionless. There was no way he could ever forgive that man. He was the reason she was laying there so still but yet three was a little part of him that wanted to confront him. He made a decision would go see the guy but there was no way he was getting forgiveness.

Carter looked at Peter. "Will you stay with Kerry" Peter looked at him "Why where are you going" Carter sighed "I decided to go down and see the guy and I don't want her to wake up alone" Peter nodded "Okay but don't go causing trouble." Carter nodded "I won't" He leaned over and kissed Kerry. Whispering "I'll be back honey but don't worry Peter is here with you okay" He started to walk out but stopped "Thank you Peter for saving my life again" Peter nodded as he watched his former student leave the room. He walked over and sat with Kerry just as he had promised.


Down in the ER Carter searched for Susan. He saw Carol . He walked over to her "Hey Carol have you seen Susan" Carol smiled "Carter, How's Kerry" He sighed a hint of sadness shown in his eyes "There's been no change Carol she's still in a coma" Carol sighed sadly she held a special place in her heart for Kerry ever since she delivered her daughter Tess. She gave Carter a hug. She whispers "I'm sorry Carter." He sighed "Don't be Carol she's going to wake up" Carol nodded "Of course she will, now didn't you say you were looking for Susan she's in exam 4 taking a nap." He thanked her and made his way to exam 4.

He tapped on the door but didn't get an answer so he slowly pushed open the door to see Susan curled up on the bed. He hated to wake her but he knew if he didn't do this now then he wouldn't do it at all. He lightly touched her shoulder. "Susan" She moved a little but didn't wake up so he lightly touched her shoulder again "Susan" This time she shot up saying "Okay I'm up I'm up" She say Carter standing by the bed. "John what's wrong is it Kerry" He shook his head "No it's not Kerry I've decided to see the guy" Susan looked at him kind of surprised "You have" He nodded. She stood up and grabbed her stethoscope placing it around her neck "Are you sure" She asked. Carter looked at her "Yes" he whispered.

Susan took him to exam room 2 where the man was laying restraint to the gurney. Susan turned to Carter "Do you want me to go in with you" Carter shook his head "No I'll be okay" She smiled "Okay but I'll be right outside if you need me" He nodded "Thank you Susan" He took a deep breath and walked into the room. He looked at the man laying there and he felt anger building up. He walked up to the gurney he looked at the guy "I'm John Carter you asked to see me" The man looked up at him and slowly nodded. "Yes I did I'm Trevor Malone" Carter screamed "I don't care who the hell you are" Trevor whispers "I wanted to see you because I wanted to tell you I was sorry" Carter was getting angrier "You're sorry!! My son my 4 month old son was in the car and his mother she's up in the ICU in a coma and you're sorry"! "All you have are some cuts and bruises my wife had to have surgery and now she may never wake up! Tell my son you're sorry! He may never know his mother because of you" Tears of frustration and sadness filled his eyes. "I hope you rot in prison for what you did to Kerry!!" Trevor looked at him "I said I was sorry what more do you want form me!"

Carter was outraged "What more do I want from you why you little!!" He pulled his wallet out of his pocket. He took a picture out letting the wallet fall to the ground he shoved the picture in Trevor's face "What want is for you to look at this picture that's Kerry the woman you hit and that is our little boy I want you to see the family you tore apart! Trevor pushed it away "Get that out of my face!" Carter screamed "Look at her you bastard! Look at her!" Trevor grabbed the picture and threw it. "Carter yelled "You son of a bitch" He was about to hit the guy when someone came into the room. "Carter" He screamed What!" Susan looked at him "Whoa settle down" He took a deep breath "Sorry Susan" She smiled "That's okay" " I got a call from upstairs Peter said to get up there quickly"

The color drained from his face. "Why what happened is it Kerry is she okay" Susan lightly touched his shoulder "I don't know John he just said to tell you to get upstairs quickly" Carter reached down and picked up the picture that Trevor had thrown down. He looked at Kerry smiling back at him from the photo. Tears filled his eyes. He clutched the picture in his hands as he raced to the elevator. He rode up to the ICU. He got out of the elevator and headed to Kerry's room. He stopped at the window . He saw both Peter and Elizabeth standing over Kerry's bed. His tears now ran down his cheeks as he slowly pushed open the door and walked in. He wasn't ready for what he saw.
