AN: Glad everyone liked it. Sorry this is so short, but it's an important chapter. Important detail: Abby & Luka are not together in this story. They broke up somewhere during the four month gap.
Criss128, thanks for the luck with school. Just gotta pass this semester and I can apply to the nursing program.
Chapter 2
A few hours later, Neela was taking a break and checking her email on one of the hospital computers. Glancing through her inbox, she noticed another email from "paratg1123". She knew the email should seem familiar but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Clicking on the message, she held her breath as she read it.
"You look beautiful while you're sleeping. Smiling, with your hair around you like a halo. I bet you'd look even more so if you were in my arms and not his. It will happen one day soon, though. Don't worry about that."
"Wanna get a coffee?"
Practically jumping out of her chair at the sound of Abby's voice, Neela quickly closed out her email before anything could be seen.
"Uh, yeah, sure."
"You're awful jumpy today." Abby told her as they walked away from the admit desk.
"No, I'm not. You just surprised me." Neela replied.
Abby gave her a 'are you serious?' look.
Neela sighed. "I don't wanna talk about it."
"So, there is something going on?" Abby questioned.
"No – yes, maybe, I don't know!"
"Okay, fine. We can't help you if you don't talk to us, Neel." Abby pointed out.
"Who said I needed help?" Neela shot back. "I'm sorry, Abby. I'm just tired and stressed." She ran her hand through her long black hair and sighed. "I'll be fine once I get some sleep."
"All right, but only if you promise that you'' come see my if you need anything." Abby said sternly.
"I will." Neela replied.
