Lara awoke from what seemed to be an eternity of sleep. She closed her eyes, she just wanted to sleep but if she slept then then nightmare would begin all again and today she would have to face the nightmare. She looked at Luke silently asleep, she held back the tears as she thought of the gap she had put between herself and Luke these past few days. It wasn't Luke's fault, hell he didn't even know about it but here she was letting that..that..animal torment her night's, surround her days and possibly break her relationship. She smiled as she knew Luke wouldn't let her go that easily but she didn't know if she was that strong, she loved Luke with all her heart and this was the first time she actually felt that she could move on from Patrick. Luke moved in the bed and lightly lifted his eyes "Lara,are you alright? It doesn't look like you got much sleep" Lara wanted to tell him but she stopped herself, "yeah im fine." Luke looked at his alarm clock, "sorry to spoil your morning babe, but we've gotta get dressed and get to work" Lara sighed, she didn't want this morning to end, this was the first time she had actually slept in their bed for a week. Luke got out of bed revealing his cheeky purple ronnie boxers and Lara took a moment to acknowledge her thoughts. She smiled yet again and told herself silently that she was going to be alright, she'll make it through today.

Luke took Lara's hand in his as they walked into Holby.Luke was happy that Lara seemed herself again, that she was smiling like she used too.Luke and Lara came to a stand still as they had to go to differant sections of the hospital."I wish we were back at home, still in bed" Lara smiled, she liked it when Luke moaned like a child, it was kind of cute."So do I but we cant have things the way we want" Luke leaned in and kissed Lara on the lips "I'll meet you for a coffee break later" Lara nodded her head and they both walked off in seperate directions.
Fin walked upto Luke "Hey,Youre one lucky dude" Luke thought to himself "Oh yeah and whys that?" Fin smiled and patted him on the back "because me and you are on call together." Fin and Luke hopped into the ambulance ready to start their shift.
Lara brushed a piece of hair away from her eyes and walked smiling through the double doors. "Morning Claire", "Someone's happy" Lara looked back "nope im just..well in love" Clair smiled and handed Lara a folder, "First patient, Mr.Turner.Was brought in by 2 men, he was drunk and got into a fight. Hes in cubicle 3" Lara frowned "why me?" She walked over to cubicle 3 where Tess was looking at Mr.Turner's head wound. "Good morning Mr.Turner, im Dr.Lara Stone" Tess smiled "Im just going to go get some anticeptic to clear his cut up" Tess walked out and Lara approached Mr.Turner slightly closer. Just as she went to reach for his arm to check his pulse, he grabbed her and brought them both falling to the ground. Lara's mind went blank and her thought went dark. "No get off me...please..someone helped me" Lara was fighting off the tears so that she could shout. Abs and Claire came running in cubicle, Abs pulled Mr.Turner off Lara as Claire helped her up. "Lara are you ok?" Lara looked at everyone, she couldnt say anything instead she just ran to the staff room and slammed the door behind her. Lara slouched down,no longer fighting back the tears,"I cant do this."
