Sam's POV
Well, today is the day that I am going to send in my resignation. I have already figured out that there may be a chance for me to say good-bye to everyone, except maybe Luka. It would be too hard to say good-bye to him, especially since I know he will try to get me to stay, and not run from Steve.
"Well, It is officially my last shift here. I want to thank you, if I don't see you at the end of the day, for everything that you have done for me. I will call you when I get to my new home," I say to the nurses around me as I put my resignation in the Chief Resident, Luka's, mailbox. I feel like I am going to cry. Saying good-bye to friends was never this hard before, especially since I have never stayed anywhere this long.
"Wow, when did you decide this? We need you here at County. And if you think I'll let you or Alex leave without saying good-bye, you are wrong."
"I decided this about a week ago and told Weaver. I think this is the one secret here that has never been revealed. Don't worry, you can always find new nurses, so you really don't need me. I'll have Alex come later to say good-bye if you want."
Just then Luka enters with Abby. I quickly leave to attend to patients. I see Luka going through his papers, when suddenly he stops.
Luka's POV
Sam is leaving. I don't know if she is just leaving County, or leaving Chicago. Damn it, I might never get to see her again. I got to do everything in my power to make her stay. I have already realized that I have made a mistake, and was planning on asking, begging her, to give me another chance. After a lot of thought, I finally figured out a way to have what I want, and still be a decent father, supporting Abby and my child. I finally realized that I can be with Sam, and still be there for my child, like divorce parents are. I know that me and Abby are not right together, I love her, but not like I love Sam. And I have a strong feeling that Abby may have feelings for Ray. I start to look around for Sam and finally find her putting a cast on a girl who has a broken arm. I start walking over to her. It feels like forever until I get over there.
"Sam, can I see you for a moment when you are done putting the cast on her arm?" I feel tears threatening to fall, but I don't want to make a big scene here, right now.
"Umm, sure, when I have a second."
Now I just got to figure out what I am going to say to her. I know that no matter what I say, it will be hard to make her change her mind, but I have got to try. I guess I will tell how we need her here at county. I want to tell her how much I love her, how she can't leave, but I don't want to scare her with a sudden outburst of emotion. I don't know what to do or say. I wait by the board, minutes feel like hours, until finally she comes over to me. I freeze, I do not know what to say, but I hear her say, "you wanted to talk to me about something?"
