Chapter 9
Leaving
A/N. Thanks for your reviews, I thought you had given up on me!
Abby's POV
I'm so bored of being stuck here, in bed for 1 1/2 weeks, no walking around, nothing to do! Elizabeth said that I should be able to go in a week! I can't wait! At least I have had lots of visitors, John is here almost all the time hes not working, I have to beg him to go home! Its not that I don't enjoy his company, I love it, but he needs to look after himself! Susan has come a few times, shes split up with Pratt, why she ever went out with him I'll never know! Luca has come once with Sarah, they brought a huge bunch of flowers! Neela and Gallant came to see me with their baby, Preeya.
The door opens and Elizabeth walks in, "hey"
"hi" I reply
"how you feeling?" she asks
"much better, when will I be allowed out?" I know I already know the answer but I keep asking, I don't know why!
"how many times do you have to ask me that?"
"sorry!"
"don't worry, you're doing really well, so perhaps in a few days!"
I smile at her "I can't wait to get out of here! I don't think I've ever been so bored, even when Maggie took Eric and I to that Model Railway festival, there was about 3 sets but she insisted that we stayed all day!" Elizabeth laughs as her pager goes off
"ER?" I ask
"how did you guess!"
"my amazing psychic powers! How long you on for?"
"well it was meant to be 5 minuets but looks like longer now!" she grimaces!
"poor you! You had better go!"
"yeah, see you later!"
"good luck!" I shout as she leaves the room.
2 days later
Luca comes in, he looks like hes been crying! Luca, Cry?
"Hey, whats up?" I ask him as he sits down next to my bed
"Sarahs gone!"
"what do you mean gone?"
"she left!"
(Luca's Flashback)
"Luca, can I talk to you?"
"yeah, sure! What is it?"
"well, I just wanted to tell you, that, well, God this is hard! I have decided to go back to England!" shes crying now, I'm speechless
"What? Why?" I manage to stammer
"Ever since what happened to Abby I've been thinking, I can't stay here! I moved to America to get away from everything, to feel safe! But, well, I can't stay, I'm sorry Luca!" she turns round and walks away
"wait! I yell after her, now I'm angry "Why didn't you go straight away, why wait? Why didn't you tell me!" I'm crying now, Me? Crying? The last time I cried was when Dani died! I was fine when all the others left!
"look, i told Dr Weaver straight away but she wouldn't let me go until she found a replacement and I didn't tell you, well, because I knew it would be hard to say good bye, so..." she trailed off, I hug her she pulls away after a few moments
"I'm sorry, good bye Luca!"
she turns round, and walks away, I just stand there!
(back to the present)
"God, I'm so sorry Luca!"
he smiles at me, hes on the verge off tears again
"I have to go!" he says as he gets up quickly
"Look, Luca, I know how hard it is! And well I really am sorry!"
"I know you are Abby!" with that he leaves
i feel so sorry for him, hes been through loads! Living through a war, his wife and children dying, and loads of terrible relationships, that were never meant to be, including me! But there was something about Sarah and him, he genuinely loved her, she loved him! When we were together neither of us really loved each other, I was in denial of my feelings for Carter and he was still upset about Dani and wanted someone there!
I hope he'll be OK!
Carter suddenly burst in
"great news!" hes grinning
"what?"
"well, I just bumped into Elizabeth and she said that you should be allowed out today, she said that she'll be up in a minuet!"
"OH my God, thats great!"
"yeah, and Kerry said that I can have a week off of work as well!"
"thats great, but... she wants me back in a week?"
"yeah, you'll be fine, she said that you can just do minor traumas if you want!"
"OK, but, well, it sounds strange but I kinda just want to get back to normal!"
"I know what you mean! But you have a hole week of just me 'till then!" he leans over to kiss me as I giggle. Elizabeth walks in
"sorry, am I interrupting something?"
"no" we both reply sightly embarrassed!
"I'm guessing that Carter told you that you are going to be discharged today?"
"yeah, he did!"
"OK, I'll just do a few final checks then your ready to go!"
½ hours later
Carter and I are in the lift, I'm going home I think to myself!
"you ready?" Carter asks
"for what?"
"well, to get out of this building you have to go through the ER!" I think for a bit
"we could find a fire escape!"
"their all alarmed!"
"Damn! the ER will have to do then!"
I smile at him, he has the most beautiful eyes. He leans over an kisses me. Then the lift stops, we seperate, I must look dissapointed because he whispers "we'll carry on later if you want!" I smile at him again!
It was quiet in the ER, well there weren't any patients! Probably a first! So everyone was around the front desk, watching Pratt and Jerry playing hockey! Susan was the first to see us, she wasn't paying much attention to the game, "hey" she says quietly as she come over
"hi" we reply in unison
"shhhh, everyone will notice you!"
"yeah, well, we're kinds stuck, the entrance is kinda blocked!" it was being used as a goal!
"good point!"
"I take it Weavers not here then!" Carter butts in
"actually shes supporting Jerry over there!"
"what!" we both say a little too loudly Dr Chen turns round and spots us and shouts "Abby!"
everyone turns round and comes over to us!
"well at least the entrances not blocked!" Carter whispers in my ear!
Suddenly an ambulance draws up and someone comes out
"MVA, 3 major, 1 DOA!"
"right, come on every one!" Susan commands! Everyone moves out to the Ambulance bay, everyone except Jerry and Frank who go back to eating Donuts!
"noes your chance, bet you've never been so glad to see a trauma!"
"well, no acctually!" we reply "see you later!"
John puts his arm round me "that wasn't too bad now was it?" he whispers I giggle Frank must have noticed
"Don't forget shes just got out of hospital, don't be too rough!" he winks, this just makes us both laugh as we walk out to his Jeep.
Carters POV.
"what you thinking about?"
"what?" she was really deep in thought!
"you're thinking about something, what?"
"the wedding!"
"what about it?"
"everything, when, where and mainly how big!"
"well, what do you want?"
"well, I want in kinda soon, I don't know where and well, I can't decide if I want a big one or not. My one with Richard was quite a big deal, you know, loads of guests expensive venue for the reception ecetra! So, well, I don't know!"
"right, well, I was kinda hoping for a HUGE celebration with the whole of my family and everyone from the fund ecetra!" I joke
"OK, well, why don't we have an average one, relatives and friends, your mansion for the reception!" (A/N. Carter kept the mansion)
"yeah, but what about the ceremony?"
"I don't know, I kinda wanted it outside somewhere!"
"well, we had better do it soon while the weathers so nice! What about, the park?"
"no, to public!"
"ummm, my garden?"
"yeah, that would be nice!" I smile at her as I help her out of the car shes so beautiful, I don't know why I ever let her go! "what you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about how beautiful you are!" I lean forward and kiss her. It starts to rain, she pulls away.
"I think we should go inside"
