Chap 3
Abby recoiled into her Jacket as the wind blew bitterly; she approached Susan's door and knocked gently.
"Hey Abby" Susan said kindly, opening the door for Abby to enter. "Hi Susan" Abby said awkwardly, as she took off her coat. Abby made her way through to the kitchen area where Susan was already boiling the kettle "You want a coffee?" Susan said "You got anything stronger?" Abby half laughed "Yeah sure" Susan said, oblivious to the danger of re-uniting Abby with alcohol "Here catch" Susan smiled, throwing a beer across the kitchen in Abby's direction, Abby smiled uneasily and popped the lid of the beer with her teeth.
After the awkward silences had been overcome Abby began to speak but was cut off by Susan
"Look Abby, I know we've hardly been best friends lately but I hope you would never think of me as an enemy, I would just like you to know that I am here for you whenever you wanna talk? Okay?" Susan said sincerely.
"Susan, wait, I think this whole thing is my fault."
"No way" Susan interrupted "how could it be anyones fault?"
"I've been a complete bitch" Abby continued "I've had Maggie to deal with, and Carter and Luca, I've not had time for anyone else and I didn't give you a chance or make you feel welcome when you came back to the ER, it's all my fault" Abby said, she felt awkward being put in positions like this, she wasn't much good at showing her emotions, and she felt insecure when she did.
"Abby, I." Susan began to say something but Abby interrupted quickly
"don't say anything" Abby said "I've been in the wrong and I know it, I've been possessive over John and I've been wrong" She said gulping her beer
Later that night, Susan called Abby a cab, she was in no fit state to go home alone. The women had reached a mutual agreement and had had a girls night in, getting drunk and sharing tales of past experiences, ex-boyfriends and wild parties. Susan felt as if she'd known Abby all her life.
The next morning abby woke with a stinking headache.
"Oh god" She groaned. As she buried her head in her pillow, she thought back to the previous night, she had succumbed to the temptation of alcohol and she was disappointed with herself for being so weak, she decided to tell Susan, after all they were now friends. Abby looked over at her clock, it was 5:30am, almost time to get up for her shift. She lay on her back and began daydreaming until the abrupt call of her alarm brought her back to reality, She groaned and got out of bed, pulling on her Chinese dressing gown her mom had bought her for her last birthday.
Abby was watching the morning news in the kitchen when there was a knock at the door.
"Abby" John Carter said breathlessly when she opened it "I have something I need to tell you" "What?" Abby said taken aback, she opened the door wider to let John in "Now isn't a good time to 'talk', John" Abby said "Abby.I.I.I love you" John said bashfully
There you go! Enough for you so far! Please R&R
