1 month later

I'm so tired, I haven't sleeped well since I showed her that letter, she still hasn't goven me a straight answer,

in fact I haven't talked to her except in Traumas! I think she changed her shifts to avoid me, but today was hetic,

we were working the same shift, there was a gang fight with many fatatilys.

"John" I her her calling me as I leave the hospital, I speed up, I don't know why, I guess I think it will be bad!

"John" she calls again

I turn round, shes standing there, right behind me! 'please say something' I think, what does she want?

"look, John, I'm sorry I haven't spoken to you recently, its just..." she trails off "its just, I haven't been sure about

my feelings for you, i love you, I always have, but , well...I can't explain...its been difficult!"

"Abby, I understand, I felt the same, I thought I loved Kem but deep down I knew that it wasn't true, I just didn't want

to face up to it!"

"I love you" she whispers

"I guess you decided then?" I don't know what to say!

"yeah, I guess I have! Come on lets go" I sudnely relise we are standing it the Ambulance and everyone is looking at us,

but I don't care, I have her back, I Kiss her again!

"look, we still need to talk though!"

"yeah, come on, lets go!"

"yeah, my place? Its private!"

"yeah, OK"

when we get to her appartment, she makes coffee.

"look, John, I will get back with you, but..you must promise me that you tell me everything!"

"yeah, OK, i understand, but it works both ways, you don't block me out, you'll tell me everything?"

"yeah, OK!"

she gets up, "shall I order a pizza?"

"yeah. OK"

"I'm just going to have a shower, you know where everything is"

"OK"

Abby had been in the shower for about 5 minutes when the phone started ringing "can you get that?"

"hi"

"John?" I hear Susan's voice on the other end

"yeah, how are you?"

"fine, what about you?"

Abby calls out "who is it?"

"its Susan!"

"OK, tell her I'll be 1 minute!"

"she'll be 1 minute" I relay to Susan.

"OK"

silence, neither of us know what to say.

"so, Abby decided to go for it?"

"yeah, she told you?" why did I bother to ask?

"kinda, she said what happened, and I told her to make her own decission!"

Abby walked out of the bathroom, I passed the phone to her.

"Susan, its Abby"

I can't hear what Susan says, great, I get one side of the convasation!

"yeah, thanks"

........

"No, not yet!"

.......

"Hey!"

.......

"OK, I'll speak to you soon!"

.......

"bye"

she puts the phone down.

"so what about that pizza" I can't think about anything else to say!

"yeah, I'll order it"

as we wait for the pizza to come we talk about our days and stuff. The pizza arrives and I can tell that Abby is

thinking as we eat.

"John, I was thinking!"

"oh careful" I joke "what is it?"

"well, I was thinking that, well, why don't you move in with me?"

"W.." i begin, I speechless!

"I no, its quick but... well, we were going out before but, I think we should!"

"well, yeah, ok!"

she smiles.

"good! Look, I should go to bed, my shift starts at 5!"

"yeah, I should go!"

"Carter"

"yeah?"

"what were we just talking about? Stay here!"

"yeah, do you mind it I take a shower?"

"no go ahead"

"night"

"night!"

I let the cool water run over my body, as I think about Abby, us living together! Wow.

I come out of the shower, shes already asleep, I kiss her forehead gently, she stirs.

"sorry did I wake you?"

"no!"

"Look Abby, what Kem said was really true,I love you"

"I love you too"

"night"

"night"
