Chapter 3: Alone
A few hours later Elizabeth awoke to find herself in her bed with the covers over her. She sat up and looked around remembering the pills and glass. She glanced over to the wall and noticed the glass fragments and been picked up and so had the pills. She got out of bed and walked out into the hall. She heard noises downstairs.
She made her way downstairs. The living room was silent everyone had left except for Kerry. She was sitting on the couch playing patty cake with Ella. She looked up and saw Elizabeth. "Hi" she said softly. Elizabeth looked at her "What are you still doing here" she asked. Kerry smiled a little. "Well Rachel went out with Jen for awhile so I stayed to look after Ella while you slept." Elizabeth was about to reply when she heard a crash in the kitchen.
Elizabeth pushed open the kitchen door and saw Carter and Susan cleaning up a broken dish. "What are you two doing" she asked. Susan looked up at her "We were washing the dishes when John broke one" Carter looked at her. "I dropped it no Susan I was handing it to you and you dropped it" he giggled. Elizabeth sighed "I don't care who dropped it" she said. She looked down at the broken fragments of the plate. She was tempted to grab a fragment and glide it across her wrist. Just one quick slash and she'd get to be with Mark again.
Elizabeth came out of her day dream to see Carter and Susan sharing a kiss. A few tears fell from her eyes as she raced out of the kitchen. She fell on to the couch next to Kerry covering her face as more tears came. Kerry sat Ella on the floor with some toys and turned towards Elizabeth. "Elizabeth" she whispered. She looked up at Kerry her face streaked with tears. They were kissing Kerry." "Who" she asked "Susan and Carter" Elizabeth sighed sadly. "Its not fair she has Carter, Abby has Luka, Carol has Doug, Cleo has Peter, and you have Sandy" more tears filled her eyes "Why me Kerry why was Mark taken from me" she cried.
Kerry pulled Elizabeth into a hug. "I don't know Elizabeth I don't know" she whispered as she looked up and saw Susan and Carter standing there. They heard everything Elizabeth had said. Carter put his arm around Susan as her own tears fell. Elizabeth pulled away from Kerry leaving a big wet spot on her blouse from her tears. "I'm sorry" she whispered. Kerry smiled don't worry about it I borrowed this blouse from Sandy" she said with a little giggle. That had gotten a small smile from Elizabeth. She sighed sadly "I miss him Kerry I miss him so much how could he leave me all alone" she whispered as fresh tears filled her eyes.
Kerry looked at her "You're not alone Elizabeth you have your daughter" She motioned to the baby playing on the floor. "You have Rachel and you have all your friends." She nodded "I know but I still feel alone" Kerry lightly touched her shoulder. "I know but you won't be alone tonight I'm going to stay with you" "So are we" Susan said. Elizabeth looked up "Susan how long have you two been standing there." Susan looked at Carter and back at Elizabeth "Long enough to know our kiss upset you" she told her. "We're so sorry Elizabeth" Carter added. "Its okay" she whispered.
Elizabeth looked from Kerry to Carter to Susan. "You guys don't have to stay" she said softly. "Susan I'm sure you want to be alone with Carter and Kerry don't you want to go home to Sandy" Susan smiled "I can be alone with John anytime" she said. "Sandy is on duty at the fire station tonight" Kerry replied. "Looks like you're stuck with us" Carter said with a slight giggle. She didn't bother to argue it anymore. "Okay" She whispered "I'll fix the spare bedrooms for you guys" she said as she got up and headed upstairs.
She fixed the beds with clean sheets and pillowcases then she went to her room and pulled out two of her night gowns for Kerry and Susan. She walked over to Mark's dresser. Tears filled her eyes as she opened his drawer and pulled out a pair of his pajamas for Carter. She still had on the dress she had worn to the funeral so she reached into Mark's drawer and pulled out one of his tee shirts. She removed her dress and slipped on the tee shirt. She wiped away a few tears from her eyes as she grabbed the night gowns and pajamas off the bed and headed downstairs.
Her friends were all seated on the couch playing with Ella. She walked over to them. She handed Kerry and Susan each a night gown. "I though you'd be more comfortable in these" she said. The women smiled and thanked her. She looked at Carter. She handed him the pajamas "They...They were Marks" she whispered. Carter took them as a single tear fell down his cheek. "Thank you" he whispered. Elizabeth just nodded.
Later that night after Ella had been put to bed and Rachel had returned and settled in her room Kerry went to one bedroom and Susan and Carter went to the other bedroom together. Elizabeth sat in her room alone. She couldn't sleep so she decided to take a bubble bath. She went into the bathroom and filled the tub. She removed her clothes and sank into the warm sudsy water. She glanced over and noticed Mark's razor sitting on the sink. She stretched her arm out and grabbed it. She sat there looking at. Her friends couldn't stop her they were all asleep. All she had to do was slide it across her wrist and her and Mark could be together again. She sat the cool blade against her skin.
Will Elizabeth cut herself, Will her friends be able to stop her again....Find Out In....Chapter 4:A Friend In Need.....Coming Soon!!!!
