Author's Note - Well. I decided to continue this and so here I am writing
more. Please review as all feedback is critical and I love to know what
people think of my writing! It's set much after when Sobricki came to the
ER and where the attacks would have been. Some may not make a lot, or any
sense as I am not explaining things, I'm just going straight to this
'alternate scenario'. I will explain in time! Sadly, I have quite bad
writer's block and so the standard of the writing in this is pretty much
awful, but anyway, try to enjoy...
Abby sat on the bench by the river, alone as was her custom. She spent many a break alone by the river, or alone in the warmth of Doc Magoos. Once in a while, someone from work would spot her and sit down with her, but more often than not she was alone. It wasn't that she minded being alone, she enjoyed the solitude and the feeling of tumbling into her thoughts, but sometimes she felt as though something was missing and the thing that scared her, was that she had no idea what it was.
On that day, the ER was eerily empty. The few patients in the ER had minor injuries and everyone sat around, unsure of what to do.
'There. that's a wolf.' Carter said, from his position behind a screen, where he was making finger puppets. There was an awkward silence, whilst everyone looked at him, unsure of what to say.
'Yeah, I see it!' Lucy said, optimism present in her voice, as always.
'Really?' said Dave, smirking.
'Yeah,' Lucy said, smiling half-heartedly at Carter, 'just turn you head on one side and squint.'
'Oh I see it now! No offence man, but that looks more like a tortoise to me!'
Throwing his hands up in frustration, Carter walked out from behind the screen, everyone was too busy laughing and joking to notice Abby walk in.

Lucy was often known as the little angel of the ER, she was always around to cheer people up, she was always there to save patients and she was always there to save her fellow doctors. For example, there was the time when Dave nearly got fired, it was obvious that Kerry never would actually fire him, Lucy easily talked her round and afterwards no one really mentioned it. She spent a lot of her time up in psych, but she still liked to remain true to her roots and help out around the ER. She seemed to be nice to everyone and so she earned her title of being the little angel, everyone's saviour.
Everyone in the ER was happy, apart from Abby, sometimes she wondered if she was even capable of being happy. She was in a dead-end relationship with Luka, she knew it, he knew it and yet neither of them had a reason to break up with the other. There was no one to break up over and although neither of them were happy, they stayed together because they were comfortable. Neither of them wanted to go through the trouble of breaking up, getting over the other and then exposing themselves to the rest of the world, just to get hurt again. They had some good times together, the could make each other laugh, but there wasn't a spark, every time Abby kissed him, fireworks didn't go off, she didn't open her eyes each morning to pray he would be there, they didn't share the little things that a couple should. She didn't treasure each moment with him and with him, she wasn't content to just 'be'.
