Disclaimer: ER is not mine. If it were, then Carter would not be leaving. And Abby and Carter would be married already. And I would be with Ray…
Author's Note: Yah…wow. Holy Crap! This is getting good now! Oh and I learned something today. The L Train is spelt L-Train, not El Train. Thank you 30-year-old national geographic.
Breath of Life
"So he just punched out Mr. Dubois?" Arya asked as a group of people walked down the L Platform. The group consisted of Sarah, Arya, Mia, Chandra, Chandra's boyfriend Trent, Arya's boyfriend William, Mia's boyfriend Joseph and Sarah's new boyfriend, River. They walked up the stairs of Abby's and Carter's townhouse, were Sarah produced a key. She slid it into the lock and opened the door.
"Hey Abby? Are you home?" Sarah shouted as the group made their way up the front stairs to Sarah's room. They heard a brief and muffled reply of yes as they noisily made their way to her room. They continued to talk about random items of interest, including about how Canada's main invention was the maple syrup tree... a tidbit supplied by the Canadian exchange student Chandra. A few minutes later Abby showed up at the door.
"Hey, guys, who's staying for supper?" The three girls, and River, put up their hands, hoping to join Sarah's meal. "Okay, I'll tell John, 3 pizza's and some Chinese food." She turned on her heals and walked away. Just then the phone started to ring.
"Hello, Carter/Lockhart Residence, Sarah speaking."
"Hey, Sarah… its me. Just wanted to make sure you got Carter's okay. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye," Ray, briefly stated on the other end.
"Okay, bye," Sarah answered, then hung up. She surveyed the room as she turned around. She looked at the friends she had quickly grown to love and enjoy. There was Arya, with her blond hair and pink streaks, and her bright, happy way of dressing; beside her was Chandra, whose dark gothic appearance, including midnight black hair, with her Chocolate Lab guide dog, Blake; and Mia, who had a funky style, with her dark, brunette hair, and hazel eyes, her head gently laying on her boyfriend, Joseph, a tall, dirty blonde, curly haired, green eyed, built guy, whom Mia existed on. Beside him was Trent, whose tall 6'0" frame stood taller then the rest, as did his brown hair and eyes; sitting at his feet, arguing once again with Chandra, was William, who looked much like his girlfriend with blond hair, and the same sense of style. Finally sitting on Sarah's bed with her was River, the 5'9", brown haired, brown eyed, guy who had instantly taken Sarah's heart.
Sarah's thoughts were interrupted by the lock opening downstairs. "Carter's home you guys," she said. Moments later Carter came up the stairs and to the door.
"Hey, pizza and Chinese food is here. Come and eat." The four teens that were staying said their goodbyes to the three that weren't and started to make their way down the back stairs.
"Dr. Barnett," a shrill voice called across the admit area, as Ray hung up the phone. He turned to see that his fears were true…Kerry Weaver was coming strait towards him.
"Yes, Dr. Weaver," he replied, hoping it wasn't anything bad that he had done to earn him this visit.
"Why did I just get a phone call informing me that you punched out a trigonometry teacher at a high school?" She did not look happy.
"I can explain," Ray said softly.
"You better…" She yelled.
"He called Sarah a liar."
"Sarah? Oh right, your sister…" she answered her own question.
"Well, he called her a liar, and lazy, and he wouldn't listen to what either of us had to say."
"So, you punched him. Dr. Barnett, give me one good reason why I don't suspend your sorry, punk rock ass into next year," she yelled. People turned and looked.
"I need this job. If I don't then Child Services will take Sarah, and that would probably kill me…" he begged and pleaded.
"You better settle this with Legal, and if you step one toe out of line, so help you God, Ray." Dr. Weaver spun around her heals and walked away, off to torture some other poor soul. Dr. Barnett walked away and grabbed a chart, and busied himself with work before Dr. Weaver could find anything else to yell at him about.
Author's Note: Okay I'm sorry if they seem out of character (at least Ray does if you've seen "You Are Here"), but they're just kinda evolving that way. Oh and Thought, I know I didn't put your line in but I thought of a better place to use it. Well you know what to do. The button, the button, the little purple button.
