Chapter 2
"I just don't understand why you didn't tell me Abby..." came the voice on the other end of the receiver. "I know... I know. I'm sorry, things just happened so quickly I didn't have time to think." She quietly waited for a response from him, after no response came she continued to explain her actions. "Look John, he's my brother. He needed my help, and it is my duty to help him. I really don't want to fight about this, will you please accept my apology?"
"Yeah, I can accept your apology. Abby I love you. I just can't help but think you don't want to include me in your life." Abby was about to respond to his comment when she heard a pager go off in the background. "Is that your beeper John?" "Yeah, sorry Abby I have to go, we'll talk about this later.. I DO love you" he said quickly while hanging up.
"I love you too," she whispered to the dial tone on the phone. "Well that's just great" she said to herself. "My boyfriend is upset with me and my own brother won't even talk to me... This is shaping up to be a great week." She picked up the remote control and started flipping through the channels absent mindedly.
Just as she had settled on some lifetime movie about a woman's cat she heard a large crash in the bathroom. She immediately jumped to her feet and headed towards the door. "Eric? What happened? Is everything ok?" She tried to open the door but it had been locked. She became nervous from the lack of response. "Eric, please respond. Is everything ok?"
She pressed her ear to the door to listen for any movement within the small bathroom.
Just as quickly as her ear reached the door, it magically opened throwing her off balance. There to catch her was her brother who was perfectly intact. "What happened? Why didn't you answer me?" Abby questioned. "Yeah sorry about the mess, I accidentally knocked a few things down." Abby peered into her bathroom to see her medicine cabinet and its contents scattered all over the floor.
"What happened in there?" she asked while following her brother to the couch. "I just lost my balance.. that's all." "Are you sure you're ok Eric?" "Yeah.. I'm fine Abby please stop asking me that; I just want to get some sleep if that's alright with you."
Abby looked at Eric's face for any sign of the brother she used to know. She didn't understand why he was acting so distant. "Yeah, sleep sounds good." She said Finally.
"Let me see if I can find anything for you to wear to bed" she said as she rose from the couch and walked into her room. She looked through her closet for anything that Carter might have left behind. "I still can't believe someone stole all of your clothes" Abby commented as she pulled out some suitable sleeping attire. "Well that's New York for you." He responded nonchalantly.
-----------
The sound of a kettle whistling stirred him awake from his dreamless sleep. He looked around and spotted his sister hovering over the stove in the kitchen. He attempted to lay back down un-noticed but wasn't that lucky. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you," she said quietly. "Tea?" "No thanks," He replied. He watched as she grabbed her cup and sat down next to him.
"Please just leave me alone, I just want to be alone right now." he thought to himself. Somehow his prayers had been answered, as she told him that she had to go into work for a few hours. A flood of relief went through his body. He needed to be alone right now. "I should only be there for a couple of hours, and then maybe we can do something tonight?"
He was so lost in his own little world of thoughts that he had barely heard the question. "Huh?.. Yeah we can do something" he replied ackwardly. He saw a smile shine through his sisters face "Great, It's a date" she said happily as she gave him a quick hug before retreating to her bedroom.
She was trying too hard to please him, wanting to talk like old times. But she didn't realize that things would never be like they were before. "Everything is different now" he said under his breath. "Did you say something?" Abby asked while walking past. "Nope, see you later" he replied. "Ok, bye see you tonight!"
He watched the door shut behind his sister. He sighed in relief "Alone at last" he said aloud.
