John pulled up to Abby's building and got out of his car. He ran up the
stairs to her apartment. He knocked on the door and it opened on him. He
felt sick, he knew something wasn't right. He didn't want to go in to her
apartment, but knew he had to. He walked in to the living room but couldn't
see anything. But oh god, as he stepped further in he saw her feet. She was
in between the kitchen door and living room.
"Abby" She didn't respond. He ran up to her but as he did so the sight that
met him made him want to be sick. He couldn't believe it.
Abby was lay face down. Her arm was in an awarked position and he could tell it was broken and probably her wrist as well. She had a large wound on her head that was bleeding all over the floor. He thought he had never seen so much blood. He moved her hair so he could see her face and gasped in horror. He nose was broken and her face filled with bruises and cuts. He went to feel her pulse and tears ran down his face when he could barley feel one. "Oh my god. Please, please be okay Abby, you're my life."
He knew that it would take too long for an ambulance, so carefully, and quickly he gently picked her up. He ran down the stairs and laid her in the back of his jeep. "Stay with me Abby, it's me John, i'm going to make everything better." He picked up his cell phone. "Frank, its Carter. Get Weaver for me.. Look Frank just shut up and get her NOW"
"Kerry, Its John, Please help me. I'm on my way to you. I've got Abby. She hurt. Hurt real bad. Meet outside the ER, with everyone you can get. I don't have time to explain Kerry, I'll be there in five"
Carter sped through the streets of Chicago and up to the doors of the ER, where the staff were waiting for them.
Carte picked up Abby and lay her on the stretcher, where Weaver, Luka, Susan and some others whisked her away. Carter stood for a second and held his head in his hands. He knew that if had been with her, this wouldn't have happened, as they would have been together, always. He snapped back into reality and ran into the ER. He walked into the room where they were treating Abby. Carter stood still with shock. Then he knew that he had to be shock out of it to help her. He put on some gloves and tried to assist.
"Carter, we've got this," shouted Kerry.
"I can help her Kerry, I need to help her"
"Carter, I mean it step back. You are on shock; you can't help her in the state you are in. Get out for now" He knew she was right but desperately wanted to help her.
He stood outside staring in at the love of his life. Deb came up to him. "I just heard, is she okay?"
" I don't know Deb, I don't understand who would do this to her. I love her you know; I've always loved her. Just been too stupid to make things work. What if..?" Carter broke down and cried. Cried for Abby, for himself, for how much love he had for her. He needed her to know.
"I know Carter. I've always known and I'm sure that Abby knows it as well."
"I doubt that Deb, I keep hurting her. Well not anymore. I'm going to show her just how much I love her."
Carter looked on as Luka grabbed the crash panels.."Clear.."
Carter couldn't watch. He ran outside and sank to the floor in tears.."Please please god if your really there, don't take her away from me"
Carter sat for what seemed like hours and yet was only minutes. Kerry came out to him, in what was obvious distress. Oh god thought Carter. "Please Kerry, tell me she's going to be okay?"
"There were a lot of complications Carter, but we have managed to stabilize her for now. She's on her way to surgery. She has massive internal bleeding, a fractured skull, lower back injuries, a broken arm, wrist and a broken nose. John, I'm sorry but she could be brain damaged. We don't know. We can only pray for her. I'm sorry."
"I need to see her. I have to see her." "Of course. Hurry John and we'll catch her"
They sped into the ER; Abby was already upstairs, where they were prepping her for surgery.
The rest of the staff watched in dismay, as Carter ran through the ER in tears.
"Why is he so upset over Abby?" said Frank. They all turned to Frank in shock at the comment; everyone knew they were best friends.
Susan broke the silence. "Because he is in love with her Frank. He's in love with her and she with him". Everybody nodded in agreement. Luka walked into the lounge, where Susan ran after him.
"Are you okay Luka?" "Yeah, I knew they were in love. Its just I still love her and cant believe this has happened to her. I never ever wanted bad things for Abby, only Good. Even if it wasn't to be with me."
"I know Luka, just be strong" she said placing a hand on his shoulder, where she pulled him into her arms. And let him cry.
Carter sat by Abby's side. She looked so small and frail. So tiny and innocent. Her face was bruised and battered and he barley recognised her. He held her hand up to his face and cried on it. "Oh my darling Abby, please don't leave me, it can't be too late for us. We are meant to be together. We really are. I love you and when you come out of this I am going to marry you, look after you and make everyday the best of your life. I promise. I promise"
"Dr.Carter, we have to take her now" said Romano. "I will do everything in my power to save her and make everything okay. I promise, Lizzy and I will. Just sit tight John"
Carter watched them wheel her away and for the first time since Bobby was ill, he prayed.
