Chapter 2: Thank You
Carter sat down on the bed next to her. "Elizabeth I know you miss Mark but those pills in your hand they're not the answer" Elizabeth looked at him. Tears ran down her cheeks. "I'm a doctor Carter a surgeon and I couldn't save my husband" "Do you have any idea what it feels like being a doctor and not being able to save someone you care about"
Carter nodded "Yes Elizabeth I do there was a friend of mine Dennis Gant he worked at County about a year before you came" "He was hit by an EL train and there was nothing I could do for him" "Then there was Lucy I was the experienced doctor I should have known Paul Sorbriki was dangerous" He looked at her "and Mark, I kept thinking I'm a doctor so why can't I help him" "Mark was one of my best friends and in alot of ways he was my mentor and there was nothing I could do to save him" A few tears slid down his cheeks he quickly brushed then away.
Elizabeth looked at him. "I'm sorry Carter" she whispered. She looked at the pills in her hand. "I just don't know how to go on with out him" "He was everything to me with out him I have nothing" Carter gently wiped away her tears. "That's not true you have Ella, Rachel, and a room full of friends who care about you" She sighed sadly. "I know but its just not enough all I want to do is be with Mark" she whispered. Carter nodded "I know you do Elizabeth and someday you will be with him again" She looked at him. "Why wait when I can be with him now"
Carter needed to get through to her. He couldn't let her hurt herself. "Because you still have a long life to live" "Don't you want to see Ella grow up" She shrugged her shoulders. He gently placed his hands on her shoulders and looked right into her sad tear filled eyes. "What about Mark" he asked "Do you think he'd want you to do this to yourself Elizabeth" he asked softly. Again she shrugged her shoulders. She looked down at the pills in her hand. She started sobbing as she hurled the pills across the room. She hurled the glass of water across the room too. It hit the wall near the door shattering.
Carter pulled her into a hug. She sobbed into his shoulder. "I'm...I'm scared Carter" she said through her sobs. "I...I lost the love of my life and now I'm...I'm alone" He gently rocked her. "Shh its okay Elizabeth you're not alone I'm here" he whispered. He held her and let her cry. "Thank you Carter" she whispered as she cried herself to sleep. Carter gently laid her down in her bed and pulled the covers over her. He softly kissed her forehead. He stood there watching her sleep. He was able to stop her this time but what if there's a next time would he be ale to stop her again.
Will there be a next time? If there is will Carter be able to stop her again ....Find Out In.....Chapter 3:Life Alone...Coming Soon
