Disclaimer: I do not own ER or any of its characters. The only one that I own is Jessica "Jess" Graham! Yeah, she came out of my head :)
Author's Note: Okay, here it is, my first fanfic. It's how I wished season 12 would be. Forgive my English mistakes, I'm not a native speaker! And PLEASE review! That's what makes me want to update. Thank you all and have fun!
The year passed by quickly and Abby felt like she has been asleep during all this time. Work and her responsabilities as a resident took all of her time and thoughts. She had no time to realize that was going to be a year since Carter left County. She had no time to realize that she missed him a lot. She had no time.
"Hey, Abby, wake up!" said Sam when she saw Abby at admit desk, looking to nothing.
"Ah, sorry, got distracted." Abby took some charts e started to walk out. Sam chased her.
"Are you okay?" Sam asked. "You look a little... worried."
"No, it's nothing, really." Abby spoke with a serious tone, trying to convince herself of what she just said.
"Alright then." said Sam, still concerned. "We still are going out tonight, after the shift, aren't we?"
"Sure, why not... I really need something that takes my mind of all this work."
"Great!" Sam was really excited "Alex is spending the weekend at a friend's house and I finally get to go out and relax!"
"And don't argue with him about Steve, right?" Abby laughed.
"That too." Sam gave her an ironic smile "I'm going to tell Jess and Neela, okay?"
"Okay" said Abby, opening the curtain of one of the gurneys. "Eight o'clock, my place."
"Yes!" Sam walked away, excited.
Since Sam broke up with Luka, she ended up being a great friend for Abby and Neela. Neela and Sam forgot about the old intrigues and, with Abby and Jess, used to go out everytime they could.
Jessica "Jess" Graham was the new doctor hired to be in Carter's place. After spending two years at Congo, where she met Carter, Luka and Kem, Jess came back to the U.S.A. Luka and Jess became great friends at Africa and, when Jess came back to the U.S., she decided to stop by County to visit him and ended up staying longer than she planned. She became very close to Abby, Neela and Sam after all.
"You're really going today, aren't you?" Jess asked while she approached to Abby.
"What can I do? Somebody has to take you guys home after you get drunk!" Abby laughed.
"No, we don't get drunk! We just forget about everything while we're drinking!" Jess smiled. "And I still don't understand why you don't do the same."
"Let's just say I have my reasons." Abby said.
"Fine by me! Just show up!" Jess yelled to her friend, while she was walking away, smiling.
