Carter was having one of the worst days in his life. It all started
when his alarm didn't go off in the morning so he was an hour late for work
only to have Weaver yell at him in front of everyone. Then he lost every
single trauma victim one of them being a little girl. All he wanted to do
was see Abby. It was strange because she was 40 minutes late for her
shift. Oh well. It was probably nothing. Carter was heading towards the
lounge when a trauma rolled in. He shouldn't take it. He'd probably kill
this one also.
"Carter we need your help here" Kerry said rolling the gurney into trauma 1.
"Alright what's the bullet"? Asked Carter.
"30-35 female. She suffers from 3rd degree burns. Every inch of her body's burned. We can't make out her identity but she was on the El train when it crashed. BP's 100/80" said Kerry.
John stopped in panic. Abby was supposed to be on the El train. She was a 30-35 female. Oh my God thought Carter to himself.
"Carter what are you doing"?! Screamed Kerry.
"Kerry Abby's supposed to be in now isn't she." Kerry stopped as well realizing what he meant. She got that same panic look in her eyes as she worked harder to save her. Carter was so shaken. This was Abby lying here on the gurney and he could loose her any second. Soon they started shocking her. Then again. Clear. Again. Clear. Again. Clear. Nothing.
"How long has it been"? Susan asked.
"46 minutes" replied Kerry sadly looking down at the ground.
"Call it," said Susan.
"Time of death-
"No"! Scream Carter grabbing the panels from her recharging them and zapping her again. Nothing. He tried again. Nothing. Kerry gently grabbed the panels from him. Susan gave him a pitied look.
"I'm sorry Carter," she said softly.

"Time of death 7:32" someone said. Carter wasn't listening. He just stared down at the body hearing nothing but the flat line. He felt like his life was ending also as he could literally feel his heart breaking. He was in a trance as he stared off into oblivion walking into the lounge. No this wasn't happening. Abby didn't just die. He loved her. She couldn't die. Why? Whenever he found happiness it was always somehow ripped brutally away from him. That's when he broke down and cried alone. In the Lounge. He had his back to the door so anybody who walked in wouldn't have been able to tell that he'd been crying. Abby was gone. The love of his life was gone. Then the unthinkable happened. Abby Lockhart walked into the lounge soaked to the bone.
"Oh my God it's pouring out there. I couldn't even take the El I had to get a taxi. Which was probably why I was late seeing as the El crashed and that created so much traffic. I mean imagine if I had gotten on it that would be spooky," said Abby laughing at her ironic situation.
"I guess it's just fate right". Abby hadn't even noticed that his eyes were red and puffy and that he looked at her as if she were a ghost. Abby smiled at him sweetly.
"What's wrong with you"? She asked giggling. Then she saw that he had been crying and her eyes grew soft and concerned.
"Carter"? She asked softly.
He then went over to her and wrapped his arms tight around her waist holding her as if at any second she would disappear.
"Carter I can't breath" said Abby into his neck.
"Have I mentioned how much I love the fact that you call me Carter" said Carter into her neck.
"No but I'll take that into perspective" she said giggling.
"Fine then have I mentioned that I love your laugh, your smile, your hair, your heart, your soul, your eyes, your arms, your being, your existence" said Crater rambling.
Abby looked at him as if he were crazy. Then he kissed her. Slow at first but then it became more passionate. Abby was the first to pull away.
"What was that for"? She asked a little dazed.
"Just trying to make sure that you exist. That you're really here with me right now" said Crater looking at her seriously.
"Carter don't be ridiculous. Of coarse I exist" she laughed which made him go weak in the knees. She then looked at him serious but soft.
"Hey" she said softly stroking his cheek lovingly. "What happened while I was gone that got you so spooked"? She asked. He then pulled her into another hug. They stayed like that for a while before he spoke. He told her about his bad day and the woman brought in and how he thought it was her. They were sitting on the sofa. Their hands intertwined. Then she turned to him, looked him straight in the eyes and said:
"Don't worry about a thing John Carter. I'll be with you until we grow old".
