Disclaimer I forgot this on the last part but just so you know I don't own anyone in this fanfic and never will unless someone wants to donate them to me.
Susan's POV
"Abby where's my... Oh my God, Can I have some help over here."
"Abby, Abby, can you hear me?" Damn I hope she's going to be alright.
"Can someone clear an exam room and get Abby on a gurney, do bloods ad urine. I'll be back in a min, I have to go call someone." I hope John's awake I don't know who else to call as we've all heard the rumours about her Mom and brother.
"John pick up the phone."
"Hello?" he sounded groggy almost as though he'd just got up and then I realised he probably had as he only finished his shift a few hours ago.
"Hi it's Susan."
"Oh hi and your answer is no I'm not coming in to cover for anyone." Please don't put the phone down; please don't put the phone down.
"Wait don't put the phone down it's Abby"
"Why what's happened"
"She's collapsed at work and I didn't know who to call."
"Yeah ok whatever I'll be there."
Abby's POV
"Abby, Abby wake up." What the hell?
"Abby speak to me." Ok what's just happened?
"Huh?"
"Ok you scared me there, Abby do you know what's just happened?" Now I'm really confused did I just do something really stupid or is this just a really tasteless joke?
"Erm no, why what have I done" I try to sit up but Susan just pushes me back, I'm on a gurney, why? How?
"Abby do you remember me asking you to help with the sutures in curtain 2?"
"Yeah"
"Well what do you remember after that? Because about 5 minutes ago I found you passed out on the floor."
"I vaguely remember feeling dizzy but then nothing." Why did I fall, I haven't been ill or anything, I can't be pregnant so why, why me?
"Nothing are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure and now can I get back to work, I have a shift to finish, and don't tell John what happened." I don't want to worry him more than I already do especially as I haven't made up with him yet since last night.
"Abby you are not going back to your shift, and if you try I'll set Weaver on you, and I'm sorry but John already knows I called him as soon as I found you."
"What why he's not my next of kin." How could she call him, I though Susan would have understood I'm fine on my own, I've managed so far and I can manage now,"
"Anyway Abby you're staying here until we get your tests back, so you might as well get some sleep as it looks like you haven't slept for weeks." I can't sleep, not now, but she's right I need to sleep and I haven't slept properly in ages but I can't sleep here knowing the whole ER saw what happened. What do I tell John though, he's going to be worried but I can't let him not over me I'm not worth it, I'm not worth him.
"I'll be back in a few minutes, by" Great I'm stuck here in a gurney at work, just f**kin marvellous.
John's POV
Damn what's happened now, I hope she's ok, I couldn't stand it if it was serious, I'd be lost without her.
"Where are those Damn keys" I'm rushing around trying to find the keys to my jeep, while drinking a cup of scalding hot coffee to try and jerk me into some form of life. Ah I've found the keys at last and I drain the rest of my coffee, I almost fly out of the door and run almost straight into her neighbour. I hear her neighbour ask me something but I'm not sure what, I'm not listening, I'm just thinking of the quickest route to the hospital.
Trust it to be a freezing day, my jeep is taking forever to start and if it doesn't start soon it would have been quicker to take the El. Why is it whenever I'm in a rush the whole world seems to want me to go slow, phew it's starting I just hope there's not much traffic or I'm going to put my emergency light on and I don't care if it's against the rules.
What's wrong with her though, she always seems so calm on the surface, even though I can see through it and I know she's hurting but she won't tell me what it's about. I want her to tell me her problems so I can help her through them, but she still insists on hiding them from me, it's as though she doesn't trust me anymore. I know she does, but why won't she tell me what's wrong. I caught her crying the other day and she wouldn't tell me what was wrong, I suppose she trying to protect me or something, I don't need protecting from her though, I want to be there for her.
At last I'm rounding the final corner, and pull into the ambulance bay, I march through the door and immediately start searching for Susan.
"Hey have you seen Susan anywhere?"
"Yeah she's in exam 3 with Abby."
"Thanks Deb."
Abby's POV
I can hear him now, I hear his voice and his footsteps, they're comforting but I still don't know what to tell him.
"Heya"
"Hi how are you" He kisses me on my forehead, I really must tell him sometime how much I love it when he does that.
"Been better you?"
"Same" Susan just looks at us both
"I'll be back in a bit if you need me page me." I nod and John tells her that's fine, he's turned his face back to me now, he's looking into my eyes as though he's trying to figure out what's going on in my head. We just sit there in silence staring at each other, it's unnerving and I really want to say something but I can't.
