None of the characters are mine (I wish they were). Em thanks for the review this will become a carby fanfic as I'm NOT a carson and don't like writing it, it makes me feel ill. Please review as this is my first fanfic (second chapter) and would like to know what your think.

Abby just stood there not knowing what to say, she could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. Why was this happening? Why was her doing this to her? He knew she had feelings for him and she thought that he had feelings for her. Susan was the first to break the silence.

      " I have a man with explosive diarrhea in curtain 3 I had better go and see how he's    

        doing

      "Yeah I'll see you later"

As Carter said this he was looking at Abby he could tell she was upset he hated seeing her like that, he hated the fact that he had caused it.

    "Excuse me Abby"

    "Sorry I just needed my jacket"

Abby moved out of the way so Susan could pass, as she passed Abby felt some sort of anger inside her, the last time she felt that anger was when she found out that Richard hadn't paid for her med school.

  Once Susan was out of the room Abby went to her locker to retrieve her jacket. She wasn't going to cry in front of him hell she would never cry in front of anyone, why would she start on the one day when she was meant to be celebrating.

    "Abby I didn't want you to find out like that"

    "How did you want me to find out John? Through Chuny, through the ER grape vine?"

    "Why the hell are you so angry Abby?"

    "Angry you think I'm angry"

    "Yeah you seem like it"

    "I'm not angry Carter I'm upset"

    "Upset why?"

    "I'm upset because I thought that we could talk about things, I'm upset because you

     didn't tell me, I'm upset because you felt the need to go behind my back with Susan,

     I'm upset John"

He knew how she felt the love, the anger, the pain. He had felt all this when he found out that Abby was going out with Luka he knew to well. He knew what he had put her through at that very moment when she walked through the lounge door and he felt bad about it.

   "Look Carter I've had a crappy day it just took me by surprise that's all so I lashed out

    at the nearest person and that just happened to be you"

He knew she was lying, she never lashed out after a crappy day she kept it locked inside as always. She grabbed her jacket and was about to leave the room when Malik ran in with a massive smile on his face.

   "Hey guys, thank god I caught you Abby, I was afraid I had missed you, you see my

    shift starts at 8 and yours finishes at 7:55 so I had to run. Are you all right?

   "Yeah I'm fine, what's wrong?"

As she said that she looked at Carter who was dying to say something but he didn't know what, she could read his mind practically well she could read his eyes anyway.

   "Well when I got here

 I asked Chuny where you were and she said in here but not to

    disturb you because she had heard some shouting"

Abby shot a glance at Carter as if to say 'we were shouting' it was like he could read her mind well actually her eyes.

    "Anyway when the shouting stopped I had to come in and give you this"

He handed her a gift she didn't really know what to say.

   "Happy Birthday Abby I told you I'm good at remembering important dates"

   "Malik I…I don't know what to say thank you I can't believe you even remembered!"

Carter was stood there not knowing what to say, he had forgotten his best friends birthday well not so much best friend anymore they hardly ever spoke, but that was not the point he had forgot and I probably didn't help with the fact that she had caught him and Susan kissing god he felt bad.

   "I'd better get back to work if Weaver finds me she will kill me"

   "Thanks Malik"

She gave him a hug and he left the room leaving Carter and Abby alone.

   "I didn't realise it was your birthday Abby"

   "You never asked Carter"

And with that she left the room leaving Carter feeling as bad as he had ever felt.
