Abby's POV
I've never felt so drained or relieved in all of my life, for the first time I've actually told someone about what's going on in my head. It's only due to the fact that for once I've found someone who I can trust enough, and also who I know will be there for me and won't run a mile. I never could tell Eric because It's my job to protect him and look after him, I'd never tell him how I really felt because I wanted him to have as normal a life as possible. He had enough worries of his own he didn't need mine as well. Richard well what can I say I couldn't eve tell him I was pregnant how could I have told him my family problems. Luka well when did we actually talk properly, oh yeah we didn't I always turned to John if it was desperate. I know he won't leave me because of my family, he loves me, I know he hasn't told me yet but I can tell by the way he looks at me. I love him to I really do.
Well at least I should go home today, as expected I've had no problems since yesterday. I'm so fed up of the nurses coming around and taking my temperature and such. What makes it worse is they know me and why I'm there. The Doctor should be here in about half an hour, although John is working he said to page him if I need him. I'll go home with him at the end of his shift at 4 even though it will probably mean sitting around in the ER for a while.
Many of my friends have been to visit me in their breaks so I now have more flowers and chocolates than ever, not that I'm complaining, but it's awkward explaining what's happened. At least I haven't had much time to be bored. John staid until he got kicked out at the end of visiting time, then he went home, he came back about 30 minutes later though with a load of clothes and stuff for me, it was so sweet. It's so good him being a doctor and all because he can sneak in and visit me whenever he wants to. He's been on shift now for about 5 hours now so he should be due a lunch break sometime soon, he'll visit me, I know he will I've been sent quite a few messages already.
Her comes Susan I bet she's on her break but can't find anyone to get coffee with. I can see her talk to the cute Doctor who she's got a huge crush on. I'm sure she's glad I'm here because it gives her an excuse to come and find him. I don't blame her I would have done the same if it wasn't for the fact that I'm currently dating John.
"Heya how you doing trouble."
"I'm fine thanks, bored but fine. How's it going with that cute Doc over there."
"Oh I don't know at least he isn't married. He is so cute though, I think I'll wait until after the Hospital Ball though to do anything, because then I can find out if he's got a girlfriend or not."
"Yeah when is it again?"
"3 weeks you are coming aren't you?"
"Yeah I wouldn't miss it, I can't wait to see Kerry in a ball gown."
"With her crutch, do you think she'll bring Sandy as her date or not?"
"Probably who are you taking as your date?"
"Luka's offered so probably him." Oh my God I thought Susan would have had better taste, not that Luka isn't hot he is, but they just seem so unlikely.
"Really, well that will be interesting, You and Luka, I never saw that one coming."
"Neither did I. Jing Mai had a good laugh about it though."
"Yeah who is she going with?"
"Pratt I think, now that is so not right. Can I steal a few chocolates I'm starving?"
"Yeah sure I've got more than enough to keep me going, just don't touch the big box I'm saving them for when I get home. So Pratt" I start to giggle now, just the thought of Jing Mai and Pratt makes me smile.
"Mmmm these chocolates are good who brought them you?"
"The nurses downstairs. There really do have good taste in chocolates down there."
"So what time you getting out of here?"
"I should get discharged in about 15mins after the cute Doc tells me what to do for the next few weeks. Then I'm hanging around Doc's and the ER until John's shift finishes at 4. How busy is it down there today?"
"Not too bad so far not many traumas, just an endless round of boring minor patients. At least I haven't been puked on yet."
"Lucky you, what time do you finish your shift anyway."
"2 I think do you want to go and get some coffee after my shift before you go home?"
"That's what I was about to ask you." My door opens and John walks in he looks tired but happy. He smiles and motions at me not to say anything, he then walks up behind Susan and pokes her in her sides making her jump.
"John, that wasn't funny." I'm laughing now because Susan always looks funny when she's annoyed. John's trying not to laugh too. "You can stop laughing too misses." I try to straighten my face, but it doesn't work. Susan gives up too and starts laughing.
"Sawy" John does his best puppy dog eyes but it doesn't have the desired effect as he cracks up immediately after.
"No your not but I forgive you." Susan hits out at him, he pretends to look wounded. Just being like this and messing about reminds me of the better times as a child, when Mom was on her meds and me and Eric could just be normal.
"Anyway I'd better go or I won't get any coffee at all, and think of the poor patients if I don't." Yeah think of the poor patients I've seen Susan without coffee and it isn't pretty.
"So when's the Doctor going to discharge you?"
"Just about now." I nod towards the door, as the cute doctor Susan was flirting with earlier enters.
"So Miss Lockhart, I'm Dr Wilson."
"Abby"
"Ok Abby, as you've probably been told by all of your friends in the ER, your suffering from exhaustion,"
"So I need to relax and take things easy for a while and stop with all of the worrying."
"Basically yes, and I can tell you're anxious to get out of her so her are your discharge papers, if you sign them you are free to go."
"Thanks and can I ask you one last thing before I go?"
"Yeah sure what?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?" John just looks at me and laughs.
"Erm no I'm single why?"
"I just have a friend who really fancies you that's all, so I suppose I'll see you at the hospital ball in 3 weeks."
"Yeah see you then, and Dr Carter make sure she gets some rest."
"I'll try but she can be very stubborn you know."
"Hey I am still here."
"How could I forget?" he kisses me and then we start to collect my belongings together, I'm out of here at last, I can't wait to tell Susan though that Dr Wilson is single, she'll so hit on him now.
