Hi this is my second ER fan fic that I have written,( I originally wrote a five part fic, which some of the story lines of that are explained (only in maybe a sentence) in this.) The Fan fic has a bit of everyone in it, but it is mainly focused on Ray and Neela issues and Carby issues. I'll update if I get reviews, so please review and tell me what you think! Thank you!

Ray Barnett winced as he passed Neela, coming on to his shift. She blocked his path and glared straight at him.

"You still owe me 80," she reminded him, the "boss tone" coming through her voice.

Ray shuffled past her to get to the front desk.

"I know, and I'll pay it you as soon as possible, but im broke, and I just spent my money on a new amp, for the band you know …" the second that sentence came out of his mouth, he regretted it. Neela despised his band. She shook her head

"You know what Ray, that's fine, just next time the pipe bursts at home, I'll tell the plumber you'll pay him with a song shall I?" She handed in her forms wincing as a paper cut etched onto the side of her finger, and she was about to leave when she turned around and said to ray…

"Ray, I moved in with an agreement that we would never have to see each other, because of different shifts, and that I would pay half of the money for the apartment, HALF RAY! That means you pay the other 50 or in this case the other 80." She stormed off regretting the moment she ever said that she would move in with him.

Ray watched her as she stormed off, he couldn't stand her sometimes, ok, he owed her money, but he'd said he'd give it her back, didn't she trust him? Well I think everyone knew the answer to that. He grabbed a chart from Pratt and went to see to a patient.

Pratt watched Ray rush off to his patient and laughed slightly, him and Neela always seemed to be fighting, he could understand it though, as women went Neela was one of the toughest to get along with, as sweet as she was, her standards were impossibly high. He looked down at his chart and read the name of his next patient "Mrs. Delta" he scanned her previous medical history and found that she had breast cancer that was being treated. He sighed at the way the number of people with cancer was increasing. He pushed the door open.

"Mrs. Delta, hi im Dr Pratt and im here with your results to your blood test, well the results show that even though your cancer is …"

"Cancer?" Mrs. Delta asked with a bemused look "what cancer?"

Pratt looked down at the file and back at Mrs. Delta, unwilling to believe that he's just told this woman she ahs cancer in the worst way he could tell her.

Abby walked into the ER dreading this day. Last night John Carter, her ex boyfriend had admitted that he was still in love with her. She felt for John, his ex-girlfriend Kem was living in Africa and his relationship with his current girlfriend Wendell wasn't working out. But it didn't mean that she wanted to continue their old relationship. She didn't know how to feel about the fact that John had said he loved her, whilst going out with someone else. She had known him for years and knew that he wasn't deliberately cheating on his girlfriend. Carter had explained that he'd been doing serious thinking, and that he still loved her. But worst of all was that Abby was going out with Jake. A sweet, caring, handsome doctor. He was everything Abby had hoped for, then why was there this sinking feeling in her stomach.

Luka was on the phone by the front desk.

"Sam, I told you to meet me at the restaurant, yes … ok I'll see you later" Susan Lewis stood next to Luka.

"Are you ok?" she asked him reading his nervous expression.

"Im fine yeah, are you?" he asked her. He knew she was struggling. Kerry Weaver had left County 2 weeks ago, after realizing she wanted to spend more time with her son, she had resigned. Now the board wanted Susan to take her place. She wasn't having any of it, she was already too busy with the small promotion that she had.

"Im ok, I've got a meeting with the board, trying to plead my case" She sighed and rushed away. Luka nervously touched the package in his trousers pocket and took a deep breath before grabbing another chart.

That's chapter one, Im sorry it's only short, I was just setting the scene and explaining where-abouts each character is so you'll know for future chapters.
