The Unforgiven
Chapter 3
Alone I Break
Now I see the times they change
Leaving us, it seems so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
( Alone I Break, by KoRn )
Raindrop after raindrop collided violently against the grand bedroom window as the bitter wind whistled through the dark skies outside. A fierce rumble of thunder rang loudly through the apartment, waking Abby Lockhart with a startle. Forcing her eyes open, she caught glance of the man lying fast asleep beside her and shot upright. Luka. It was Luka lying next to her.
Oh christ, she shook her head in confusion, realising the mistake she had made by deciding to visit the man that night. She had came round for some comfort and advice, not to sleep with him. Piecing together the events of the night before proved to be a difficult task. It all seemed like a blur ro the female nurse. Alcohol certainly played a part in the situation though. And vast amounts of it.
Abby ran a single hand through her greasy, tangled hair whilst sitting perfectly still in the eerie darkness, listening to the gentle sounds of Luka's breathing. What on earth had possessed her to sleep with him? It was the worst mistake she could ever have made. This drunken one night stand simply brought to the surface all the history between the pair. the history Abby had tried her very best to forget. What if Luka took this as a reason for giving their relationship a second chance? What would she do then? Break his heart or her own? As the nurse sighed in anguish, a flash of lightening brightly lit up the dark sky and the small room.
"Bloody weather" she cursed quietly, carefully sliding out the bed. Stealthily creeping around in the darkness, she gathered her various garments of clothing and dressed quickly. Taking one last lingering glance at the sleeping medic, she exited the bedroom and finally the apartment. Sprinting down a short flight of stairs as fast as her legs could carry her, a cold blast of air greeted her as she ran out into the scarcely lit street. Wrapping her arms tightly around her thin body, she paid no attention to the heavy, icy rain beating down upon her head and shoulders and soaking her body through and through. Images of Luka's face preyed on Abby's mind as she tried to make sense out of earlier events. Why did she sleep with him. Why? They had parted ways almost a year ago, their relationship had simply never worked out. She could still clearly remember the little, daily arguments, the frequent, ackward silences........ They had both moved on since then, or so Abby had thought.
Walking down the seemingly never-ending sidewalk, Abby couldn't remember a time when she had felt so cheap and ashamed as she did now. Despite not loving Luka anymore, she had purposely sought him out for the comfort she had much craved. Last night she wanted to be held and loved, and knowing Luka would always be there for her she cruelly used him. Sometimes the former medical student truly hated herself. If only there was some way to correct the vast amount of mistakes she had recently made. It was what her life had become now, one mistake after the other.
Finally arriving at her own apartment, Abby collapsed in a heap upon her couch, wallowing in her own misery and self-pity. Her mind was numb with confusion as she tried unsuccessfully to hold back the tears that were forming at the corners of her eyes. Turning to her left, a flashing red dot caught the woman's attention as she reached over to press the large button titled 'play' on her answering machine.
"You have one new message" it spoke before a male voice echoed clearly through the room.
"Hey Abby, it's John. We need to talk......................"
Author's Notes: So, what lies in store for Abby after her recent fling with Luka? Will she ever fix the mistakes in her life? What will Luka's reaction be? Will Carter find out? Oh and what does he wish to talk to her about? Do you want another chapter? Tell me, reviews are greatefully accepted!!!
