Neela was done walking. She was done with everything else.
"Abby."
She spoke her name quietly so no one else would notice her.
"Can I talk to you?"
Her voice cracked as she whimpered out this question.
"Neela?"
Abby spoke back her name, yet not as quiet.
"What's going on?"
Now Abby was worried. Nothing made Neela do this.
"Abby I just wanted to say goodbye to you." She told her.
"Goodbye? Where are you going?" Abby exclaimed.
"I'm not going to stay in the ER any longer." Neela said.
"No. Wait don't go Neela! You just came back!" Abby stood up.
"Abby. Gallant saw me. He saw Ray kiss me. I pushed him away too late. I never wanted to kiss him. He forced me. And at the perfect bloody time at that. And now Michael thinks I'm with Ray!" She cried.
"Neela...I'm so sorry. But you can't quit your job. Neela you've already done this once and remember what track your life went down!?" She tried to convince her.
"Yeah and Abby my life is back off track." Neela said with tears in her eyes.
"Neela. It'll be alright. You've just got to believe in yourself!" Abby said putting her hands on Neela's shoulders but she looked away.
"If only I could tell you." She said quietly.
"Neela?" Abby asked.
Neela lifted her head and looked into Abby eyes. Black and blue was forming under her eyes from lack of sleep. Could she tell her now?
"Abby....I'm..." Neela cut herself off and turned away from Abby. Then she began to walk. She just wanted to get away.
"Neela wait! You're what?!" Abby called after her.
Neela stopped and turned around.
"If only you knew." She said, tears falling down her face.
