One True Love: Chapter 3-

"Carter, where the hell are we going?" "You'll see," he had one the of the biggest smiles on his face, since they got together.

They stopped in front of the river, and went and sat on the bench.

"Abby, I have known you for 3 years getting close to four, and I have always liked you. From the minute you turned me into Weaver for the drug thing, even though I was mad at you I knew I could never really hate you. The lockdown in the ER was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. And the only reason that is, is because I was spending it with you. My next decision will take us to a whole different place, and I don't really know if that's good or bad. What I am trying to say is Abby will you marry me.?"

He took the ring out of his coat pocket and gave it to Abby. She opened it and saw how beautiful it was, she closed the box and handed it back to John.

"I'm sorry John I can't." She ran away crying. John stood up and walked back to the jeep. He then went to the one place he could think of. The Carter Mansion. He walked in and sat on the couch until he heard footsteps come into the room. It was Gamma.

"John, just go to bed. You can talk to her tomorrow I am sure she is fine." "I don't know Gamma I mean I liked her and I am pretty sure she liked me to." "Yes, I liked her too, I really liked her. She was one of the best people you ever dated. But the question is did you love her?" "Yes I did." "Did you say that to her when you purposed?" "No, I guess I didn't. Well I mean I kind of said it but I didn't actually come out straight forward with it." "Well then there you go. I'm going to bed. Talk to her tomorrow. And John." "Yeah," "Everything will be just fine, I promise."

As soon as Carter was done thinking about Abby he fell asleep.

The next day Carter went to see Abby, he walked into their apartment, to find nothing. Everything was gone. Her clothes, her bathroom necessities, the only thing that remained was the furniture.

So he drove to County

"Susan where's Weaver?" "Why?" "Where is she god damn it?" "Exam 2, what's up Carter?" "I'll tell you after." He walked into Exam 2 where Weaver was just finishing up. "What happened to Abby?" "John, calm down." "I'm going to ask you one more time where is Abby?" "Let's go into the lounge." They walk into the lounge, the first thing Carter saw was the locker's where Abby's name tag had been was ripped off, but then again so was Luka's. "John, she left." "What? What do you mean she left?" "Her and Luka went to Croatia, to help the sick, also Luka's brother died." "Yeah, but she's coming back right?" "I'm sorry John, their not going to come back." They stood there for 2 minutes for what seemed like 2 hours then Kerry left. "Oh, and John if you need some time then I'll understand." The door shut and that left Carter by himself. Until Susan came in. "Susan, if I could just turn back time. Then this would have never happened."
