Author's Note: Wow I read over the story and there are a TON of typos! Sorry about that folks, I usually rush through them and that's probably the cause of the typos. I'll pay more attention.

"Hey Kali, your early," Susan says as I walk into the ER behind Neela.

"Oh yeah well I just have to talk to Abby and stuff first. I'll just… hang around until your ready," I say quickly. I totally forgot about shopping day.

"Sounds good," she smiles and goes back to her charts.

"Uh Dr. Lewis do you know where Abby is?" Neela asks.

"Oh yeah sorry Neela, she's um… I think she's in the lounge," Susan informs us, briefly glancing up at us.

Neela starts for the lounge and I slowly follow her. This is really weird.

"Hi Abby," Neela says as we enter the room.

"Oh hey Neela, hi Kali," she smiles at me. I love how I can make her smile just by being in the same room as her.

"Abby, Kali needs to talk to you," Neela says in a serious tone.

"Oh okay," Abby looks totally puzzled.

"Um, Neela can you stay here," I ask her as she's about to leave.

"Of course," she says in her British accent.

We all take a seat on the couch and I feel very, very nervous. I take off my coat for something to do.

"Abby, you know that night… That night you were…" I trail off. I can't do this.

"Yes," she answers in a strange voice.

"Well… I was here, I saw you I went into your room and everything and you didn't even know I was there. I was so scared and no one ever knew but lately I've been dreaming about it and I don't know what to do," I explain in a rush.

"Sweetheart… I'm so… oh honey," Abby looks so horrified. She opens her arms and I bury myself in her tight embrace. I start to cry again and I feel Abby's tears hitting the top of my head. Neela obviously left because Abby never ever cries. Oh my God! Abby never cries, she's crying now, in front of me! I pull away and stand up, glaring at her.

"Abby I wanted to help you, you shut everyone out! You ignored it and it wasn't done yet, I'm not done with it yet! I tried to talk to you, or let you rest, and you let it go, as if it were nothing! You were gone for three hours Abby! Three! And then you came in, got treated and never talked about it. And on top of all that, you went to the funeral! You went back to them! I was so scared, but I supported you because it was what you wanted! It was the only way you let me help you! I was there!" I'm grasping for breath now, my lungs are tired from my screaming and hysterics.

I look at Abby, she sits in shock, staring at me. I glance at the door and see a bunch of doctors and nurses staring at me. I guess I was pretty loud. Everyone looks shocked! I sprint past them and out the doors. I don't know where I'm going but I run, I run as though I'm running for my life. And maybe I am.

Soon I stop, my lungs are burning and I'm shivering like crazy without my coat. I look around and have no clue where I am. But the sky is turning black so I keep walking. Pretty soon I find a coffee shop and stop there to warm up. It's cozy inside and the heat's cranked up. I slide into a booth and a grandmother-looking waitress comes over.

"What will you have dear?" she asks gently.

I check my pockets and discover a dollar and eighty-seven cents.

"Um a small coffee please," I say in a voice above a whisper.

She leaves and returns almost right away with my warm beverage. I wrap my hands around it and let the warmth spread through my body. It must be about five or six o'clock by now. They're probably looking for me…

I quickly finish my drink and go to the counter to pay.

"Oh it's on the house dear," the waitress smiles.

"Thank you, but here," I say handing over my money. "Do you know where we are?"

"Oh yes dear, we're on Third West, just around the corner form that big Carter mansion," she tells me.

There is a God!

"Really? Which way?" I ask eagerly.

"Out the door and to the left, about a block away," she smiles and goes to her next customer.

I dart out the door and run down the street like a mad woman. And I suddenly see it! Home! I push the gates open and run down the driveway. The door is in front of me and I go in and see a room full of police officers. Carter and Abby are standing in a corner talking to an officer. The rest of the ER staff also seems to be here, sitting on sofas.

"Abby!" I cry and the room goes silent as I rush into her arms.

People are all over us, hugging me and scolding me and kissing me and crying and I cling to Abby through it all. Abby, my rock, my idol, my sister.

I feel Carter wrap his arms around both of us and he kisses my cheek and then Abby's. Abby and Carter, my family… the only people I needed.

THE END!
