A/n: 4 whole new ER eppies in February! I am so looking forward to it, is
anyone else? This chapter is named after 3AM by Matchbox 20, which I do not
own, so please don't sue. I've had a lot of time to write right now, my
part of the world is in a deep freeze, and school has been canceled for two
days, and we all ready had Friday off. But the weather is getting better;
right now it's only -33 Celsius. I don't know what that is in Fahrenheit,
but it's cold.
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed. Up to this point, I've not been flamed once, and I'm proud of that. Now before I get all mushy, let's get on with the chapter!

Chapter Three: 3AM
~*~
//She says it cold outside
And she hands me a raincoat
She always worried about things like that
She say it's all going to end and it might as well be my fault
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams
And her voice is straining. //
"You guys are so nice to put up with me." Sam slurred as the women walked outside the bar. "You're all my best friends." Abby rolled her eyes and went in front of the three women to open the door. Even though Susan had cut Sam off, she had found ways to get drinks, basically drinking until last call.
"The cab should be here in a few minutes." Abby said. 'Should we leave her by herself?"
"She's still upright, it will be fine." Jing Mei replied.
The cab pulled up and Abby and Susan helped Sam get inside, telling the cab driver where to take her. "And step on it." Sam added, and started giggling.

// And she says baby
It's 3am I must be lonelier
She says baby
I can't help to be scared of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash it away
I believe it. \\
The cab driver pulled up at Sam's apartment building and she piled herself out of the car. She stumbled up the steps to the main entrance of the building and went to put her key in the door when she heard a deep male voice behind her. Sam screamed and dropped her keys in the snow. "Luka, what the hell, are you trying to give me a heart attack?"
"Sorry." Luka replied as he came up the steps. "I called you a few hours ago, and you weren't home. I just wanted to make sure you got in all right."
"So, what you're my mother now?" Sam said sarcastically as she bent down to look for her keys in the snow. Luka bent down to help her, finally noticing the smell of liquor on her breath. Sam fell and nearly knocked Luka down the steps. "Oops." She said and laughed.
"You've been drinking." Luka declared more than asked. "Where's Alex?"
"He's a at friends house." Sam said as she slouched against the wall of the building. "Do you believe I would leave my kid at home while I went out with friends? You think I'm a terrible mother, don't you?"
"I didn't say that." Luka replied, finding the keys and putting them in the door. "Are you coming inside?"
"No."
Luka rolled his eyes. "I'm not leaving you out here to freeze or get mugged. Get up, Sam."
"You know what, I'm just fine here." Sam replied, looking up at Luka defiantly. Luka went inside momentarily, coming out with a doorstop to keep the door open. He picked up Sam and carried her inside, with her screaming all the way. "Let go off me, you jackass! Put me down now!" Sam finally squirmed free as an elderly lady in her nightgown peeked her head outside of her apartment with a telephone in her hand.
"Miss Taggart, are you all right?" The elderly lady asked. "Is that man a friend of yours?"
"Yes, he is Mrs. Fisher." Sam replied. "I'm sorry for all the noise, we were just joking around."
"Okay." Mrs. Fisher said uncertainly. "Just try to keep it down, all right?"
"Oh I will Mrs. Fisher. Girl Scout honour." Sam mocked saluted and smiled. Mrs. Fisher smiled back and closed her door. AS the door closed, Sam hit Luka hard against the chest. "You had to go and wake up all my neighbors."
"Me? You were the one who was screaming." Luka hissed.
Sam spontaneously wrapped her arms around Luka's neck, standing on her tiptoes. "I could make you scream too." She whispered seductively, her lips brushing quickly against Luka's before he pulled away.
"Let's just get you back in your apartment." Luka suggested, trying to ignore Sam's proposition.
"Fine." Sam said, pouting.
~*~
// She got a little bit of something
And God, it's better than nothing
And in a colour portrait world
She believes she got it all
She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams
And her voice is straining. \\
"I don't feel too good." Sam mumbled and pressed her head against Luka's chest as they walked down the hall that lead to Sam's apartment. Luka noticed that she was getting a little pale.
"We're almost there." Luka whispered back. He found the apartment he remembered from Thanksgiving dinner and unlocked the door. "Bathroom or bed first?"
"I just want to go to bed." Sam replied. Luka nodded, and headed down the hallway. He opened the door to the bedroom, and led Sam over t the bed where he placed her down. Sam groaned as Luka pulled off her shoes and put her legs up on the bed. He took the comforter from the end of the bed, and draped it over Sam's body. Sam caught Luka's hand as he brought the blanket close to Sam's face. "IU don't so this a lot."
"I know, Sam." Luka replied. "Get some sleep." Sam didn't reply, but turned over not to face Luka. Luka walked to the doorway before he turned around. "Goodnight."
Sam murmured something that Luka didn't understand. Before he left, he took some aspirin and a glass of water and left them on Sam's nightstand. He took a small piece of paper and wrote an small little note:
Thought you might need these when you wake up.
Luka
~*~
// She believes that life
Isn't made up all she used to
And the clock on the wall
Has been stuck on three for days and days
She thinks that happiness is mat
That sits n her doorway
While outside
It's starts raining. \\
The next morning, Sam woke up to the worst headache in her life and her alarm clock screaming in her ear. After a few moments, the memories of the past night came back to her. She sat up and saw the aspirin and water on the nightstand.
"Luka was here?" Sam asked herself as she read the note again. Then came flashbacks of Mrs. Fisher on the first floor, the nice elderly woman who sometimes watches Alex for her if there's an emergency, something about screaming, and almost kissing Luka.
"Shit." Sam said to herself and got out of bed. She went in the kitchen and picked up the phone, and saw the little light blinking. She hung the phone up and listened to her messages.
"Sam, it Luka . . ." Sam pushed the button and cut it off. Out of curiosity, she checked her caller ID. There were at least ten calls from Luka.
"This is getting interesting."
~*~
A/n: Yes, it is. I want to go into shipper mode within the next three chapters, so look out for that. Also, someone is coming back next chapter, care to take a guess who. I'll give you a hint it's either:
Gillian
Jesse (Alex's father, I'm 75% sure that's his name.)
If you have an opinion of who should come back, don't be afraid to say.
Later Days!
