Chapter 2
Abby's breakup had often haunted her, she always had wondered what may have
happened if she and Carter had been able to work things out. And up until today
Abby had come to the conclusion that such thoughts were useless because Carter
was out of her life forever. But now, she was unsure of what Carter's return would
bring, maybe she was overreacting to the whole thing, but maybe she had a
reason to worry. Abby stepped outside and the chilling Chicago winds consumed
her, she pulled her scarf tightly around her and made her way home. Walking
through the front door she looked at the scene before her, this was her life now
living here with Luka and being happy, something she deserved so much. She was
a different person now, whether she wanted to believe it or not and her life had
taken a turn for the better. As Abby walked into their bedroom, she looked down
at a sleeping Luka, he looked so peaceful and in that moment Abby was so
grateful for everything, yet the nagging feeling arising in her stomach was
something that just couldn't be ignored.
Abby awoke to an empty bed, "Luka must have already started his shift", she
thought to herself. Abby dragged herself out of bed and heading off to the
hospital. As soon as Abby reached the doors to County a GSW was rolling in and
she jumped right on the case without even time to get settled in. About 45 minutes
later her patient went up to surgery, and she still hadn't spotted Luka anywhere.
Abby walked towards admit looking for Luka, only to find John. Abby's heart stood
still in time and memories flooded her head. And although she was standing still,
she was already falling.
