That was.unexpected. She definitely hadn't thought he'd agree. After all
you had to be a former addict to become a sponsor but Luka knew the rules
and being Luka, he wouldn't break them. But that would mean he was a
recovering alcoholic, like her. But, not Luka, surely? How long had she
known him though? Two years, maybe three? And of that hey had only been
going out for almost a year at the most. Certainly not enough to know
everything about a person surely he would have told her? Hardly surprising
though, she hadn't mentioned her drinking so why should he have told her
about his own problems?
They were never really close, not in that way, never really knowing how to express themselves to each other. They had both become distracted by other things, other people. And when they had eventually broken up Abby had turned to drinking and then finally Carter whilst Luka had turned to other things knowing that the first drop of alcohol, whilst as emotionally unstable as he now was, would lead to new addiction and problems. Instead he had tried to seek therapy in other things; he had turned to smoking and paid for sex or therapy. It had affected them both equally badly.
And now, it seemed like things might just start to get better. It might take some time but it might turn out alright in the end. Later once the meetings had started again she would ask him.talk to him to try and find out the reasons. But not now, not just yet.
What had he been thinking?!? No one knew about his problems, he had been careful to make sure of that - careful, honest, charming Dr Kovac. No one was meant to know about the other side. The side most affected by the war, by the deaths of those who he held most dearly to him. And then he had as much as told her! Let his secret out! Now everyone would know, Abby would tell Susan and Chen or any of the other nurses and it would spread through the hospital - 'secretive, lying, cheating Luka, cowardly enough not to even let his girlfriend know about his problems even after going out for almost a year.' No. that was paranoid, she wouldn't do that to him. 'All the same,' he thought 'I better talk to her to make sure.'
He knew her number by heart, never bothering to forget it after they had broken up and as he pushed the buttons on the telephone he wondered whether he was doing the right thing by talking to her, wondering whether she had already guessed. He hung up twice before finally deciding not to call. Wait Luka, see how it plays out, talk to her later, at least find out if she's already guessed by herself. Tomorrow, he'd ask her to have lunch with him tomorrow, walk by the river or something.and talk to her.
Ok what do you think? Please review!! Oh and any further suggestions for what should happen next would be nice coz I always have trouble thinking of things to write!!
