Sorry – I did not update when I said I would.
I am starting to find this really hard to write.
Thanks for the reviews, and as I said, I could go in a few directions with this, so if it starts to sound wrong, please tell me.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or anything to do with the ER.

Chapter 5
It was late, or early, depending on the way that you look at it. The rain outside had seemed to have finally stopped. It seemed quite still, the ER was not busy at the moment and the bay was empty of any Ambulances or patients.
The two friends could not manage to do anything but think about their conversation. Concentration was not really there, and sleeping, well trying to, seemed impossible.
Usually a spare half an hour on a night shift, or a double shift was spent either eating or sleeping, but more so the latter. Tonight this did not seem possible.
Abby lay flat on her back, in the dark, on the gurney in the on-call room. She lay there, staring at the ceiling listening to the sounds of footsteps and gurneys being wheeled past the room. She was thinking. Thinking about the conversation that her and her close friend had just shared. She was tired, but unable to sleep.
Susan, also lay awake, on the couch in the Lounge. It was not the most comfortable place to sleep, but this was not usually a problem for her. She too, lay there thinking and going over what had happened. She was really tired, as she had already shown, but at this moment sleeping did not seem an option.
Friendship, sharing things with each other, good and bad. If the two could have seen each other at that moment, both awake, unable to sleep and not wanting to disturb the other.
Abby finally gave up a while later and got up. She headed out to the rather quiet admit. desk and began to read over text books and notes. If she could not sleep, she might as well do something useful.
Susan, on the other hand, eventually fell asleep, but before she did she thought about going to get Abby and talking some more.
One thought clouded both their minds, "What next?"

I know that compared to my other chapters this is really quite short, but I think that it is quite good that way.
I am finding writing this chapter and the next quite difficult, as I am a bit confused about where to take this next. I thought that when I started writing it that I had a good idea of what to do, but now I am not so sure. I do not want my story to end up being the same as another few.
If I do not update quite quickly, please do not loose faith as I have not given up. Although, I don't think that it will be too long before the next chapter is up, because I have and idea for that one.
As I said there are a few different directions that I could go in with this, so if it starts to sound wrong, please tell me.
As always, please Read and Review honestly.
