Luka sighed and walked back in seeing Abby holding her head in her hands. She felt so embarrassed.
“I’m really sorry…” she started. She looked so downcast. Luka sighed. He hated seeing a friend this, hurt. He sat down next to her.
“You need anything?” he asked her, ignoring her apology as it was not needed.
She shook her head and yawned, lying back on the sofa and rearranging her pillows. She shook her head.
“I’m good thanks.” Luka hesitated, and then began again.
“Listen… I know you don’t want to talk about it yet but I think I should help you find an apartment, or a nice hotel or something, someplace you cane stay that isn’t the hospital… I mean. You really should be comfortable and have as little stress as possible.” She still looked miserable and sighed long and hard, her eyes wee glittering with tears.
“How am I going to do this alone?” she posed this as a question, not sure if it was meant for Luka or herself. Luka paused a moment before thinking of something to say.
“I think, you’ve already done so much yourself already, and I know, I really know, when your baby does arrive, and you’re holding your child in your arms, you will realise no man will ever measure up to how much you love that little baby…” he spoke each word very carefully and deliberately, offering her a sad, soft smile.
Abby looked up at Luka and smiled. “Thank you” she said sincerely. Luka nodded and smiled, he turned his back get her a glass of water. She was so tired; maybe she should rest her eyes…
Luka turned round to find her lying against her cushions, legs curled up and one hand on the cushion, the other firmly held to her stomach. Luka smiled and sighed as he placed the glass of water next to her, moved the bin closer to her head and placed her bag in the chair opposite with all her things inside it. He found his extra blanket and gently placed it over her, careful not to wake her. He paused for a second, not sure weather to leave her or not, then decided it was for the best as she needed some sleep and Richard definitely wouldn’t come back that evening. Luka smiled at her again and carefully closed the door behind him, he told everyone to steer clear of the lounge if possible.[Sorry it's so short, I've barely had any time this week. I'll try and write my update for Hindsight soon ]

She awoke to the sound of something smashing on the ground, man that was loud, why did her back and head hurt so much? Why did she feel her stomach drop? Then she remembered yesterday. She pushed back her hair and sat up, hugging her arms toward her, Luka was stood frozen over the smashed coffee cup, looking guilty.
“Sorry.” He stated, picking up the pieces.
“I just knocked it with my elbow… How are you feeling?” he asked her as she stretched and let a long loud sigh.
“Like shit” she said with a wry smile. Luka nodded and smiled, wait, has he been here all night? She thought this allowed and Luka chuckled a little and Abby looked at the floor feeling embarrassed.
“No, well.” He started. “I was on the night shift anyway and when I got off I was trying to find you somewhere to stay, then I realised I live in a hotel, I put in a good word to the manager for you, he’s a nice guy and has agreed to let you stay for a couple of weeks to give you some time to look around…” Abby looked stunned, she wasn’t used to people making such nice gestures for her; she could feel her eyes water, what was wrong with her? She was so bloody hormonal. She smiled at Luka.
“Thank you. Thank you for last night too, sorry to drag you into my problems.”
Luka just shrugged and smiled sheepishly. “Well… You’re my friend and I thought you could use my help.” He stated simply. Abby nodded wiping her eyes.
“You really did.” She said through a smile.
Luka continued. “And this way we can have slumber party’s where we tell each other all our secrets and have midnight feasts” Abby’s smile broke into a grin and she laughed a little.
“Mmmm.” She nodded in approval. “It’s a date.”
Luka nodded and turned. Abby smiled. “Sooo… Are you off now?” she asked him, he smiled and nodded.
“If you want to get ready I could take you there now… You might sleep a little better.” Abby smiled and nodded in agreement.
“Yeah, thanks Luka, I’d like that.”
Half an hour later Abby had gotten herself ready and was looking forward to having a long shower and a rest, Luka had gotten her bag for her and was giving her a lift in his car. She was waiting in the waiting area for Luka to return when Richard stormed in. Abby rolled her eyes and stared at the floor, praying he wouldn’t notice her.
“Abby!” he called out jogging up to her, she turned round fixing her gaze on the ceiling, pretending not to notice him.
“Abby!” Richard stated again running up to her. She said nothing, but turned to look at him. Richard got his breath back.
“Look Abby I’m soo… Jesus.” He was looking at her eye, which was now forming an impressive round bruise.
“Oh my God I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean for that.” He said getting flustered, Abby just kept looking at him, arms folded.
“You just, I wanted you to listen, and you wouldn’t, I was trying to make you stay, Abby, I honestly wasn’t trying to hurt you.” He reached for her hand but she snatched it back, rolling her eyes.
“Oh please.” She said sarcastically.
“Look Abby that’s our kid…” he said indicating to her stomach.
Abby looked at him and sighed. “Look, I’m done talking to you ok, there’s nothing left to say. I thought I could win it out and prove everybody wrong, but it’s just too hard Richard. I’m not strong enough to do it anymore.”
Richard looked stricken. “What do you mean?” he asked uncertainly.
Abby looked at the ground, then back up at him, she felt so tired of it all. “I want a divorce Richard.” She said firmly. Richard was stunned into silence for a minute, but then started again.
“Abby you can’t be serious… I mean. Maybe if you had been attentive to my needs…”
Abby cut in sharply. “YOUR needs? Richard, you can’t keep it in your pants for two minutes, you never paid me any attention what-so-ever when I wasn’t feeling well, you’d complain at me when I threw up, when I was too tired to have sex with you, when I was slow, so basically sure Richard, you love me and this kid, when it is to your convenience” she ended sarcastically. Richard decided to change tactic.
“But it hurt seeing me with another woman right?” he asked.
Abby glared at him, thinking for a second. “What kind of stupid question is that Richard? Of course it hurt.”
Richard looked triumphant. “Then you still love me, and you don’t want a divorce.”
Abby looked at Richard long and hard and shook her head, sighing. “Yeah Richard.” She stated again. “It hurt. But you know why it hurt?” she started looking tired and defeated. “It hurt me that you’re not the guy you used to be, it hurts me that now, you’re a liar and a coward, but what hurts the most, is the fact that you looked at me. You looked at me and said you would never hurt me, and you would always be there. And it hurts that you broke that promise so long ago.” Her eyes were welling up, she felt her tiny body might explode with emotion; Richard was stood there open mouthed, looking at her with sad, pathetic eyes.
She continued. “But what didn’t hurt, was you were with someone else, what didn’t get me is that icy stab of jealousy I should feel and I just. I just don’t love you.” Luka had been standing nearby behind a corner for the last five minutes, he thought this was a conversation not to be interrupted, and he was going to make sure he didn’t hit her again.
Richard grabbed Abby’s arm as she turned to go and pulled her and whispered into her ear. “She’s been with me before you know. Remember when we needed a new mattress? That was all because you’d gone to see your mom, and I f**ked her in our bed, I f**ked her there for five, hot, long hours, I f**ked her so hard the springs in our bed snapped” he finished harshly, a smug smile on his face, trying to provoke a reaction. She turned round, a small, pitying smile on her face.
“Just stop Richard, just stop trying. I’ve was gone such a long time ago.” She pulled her arm away from him, that look in her eyes made him so angry, she had no respect for him any more and he couldn’t handle it. So he held her arm tighter, growing desperate, he started shaking his head, then raising his voice.
“No, if your leaving me then when that kid is born, it’s mine; you used to be a drunk! You would be an unfit mother! What if one day you start drinking again huh? You can’t be trusted with a little kid.” His voice had grown louder and louder, he knew Abby hated scenes. His words made her blood boil. She was much smaller than him but her hand reached up and she gave him a hefty slap across his face. He let go of her arm.
“Don’t you dare, don’t you f**kING dare!” she screamed her heart blazing. “Get this kid involved, I swear to f**kING God. You’ve already messed up my life, don’t you dare, try and mess up this baby’s life too.” She ended breathlessly, people were staring, Richard stared at her open mouthed. Abby could feel people’s eyes staring at her, judging her one way or the other, she could hear the whispering start, she fixed her gaze down to the floor and fled out of the double doors quickly, not looking back.
