Abby was so frustrated she could barely open her locker, eventually she punched it upon which made her exclaim “Ahh f**k!” and look even more annoyed even though it was her own fault. She dropped her stethoscope and her lab coat on the floor and as she bent down to pick them up a folder of paper work and essays along with several books fell on top of her. She cursed loudly and was grumbling rummaging on the ground picking up various things. Luka walked in and tilted his head looking at her with a confused smile. After a few seconds she looked up at him.
“I dropped stuff.” She said simply, Luka grinned, whatever Carter’s little outburst before had been about he had been right, he DID fancy Abby.
“I can see that...” he said sounding amused. He bent down to help her pick up all her papers. She smiled sarcastically at his face of obvious suppressed laugher. “Oh be quiet.”
He handed her the last of the papers and she stopped and pushed back her hair from her face. She smiled at the floor and brought her eyes up to his. “Thanks.” She said. They both knew her thanks wasn’t just about the papers.
He nodded “Any time Ms. Lockheart” he said with a playful lazy grin. She nodded and smiled getting up from the floor.
“Well. We had best get back to work, Carter will probably have expected us to have eloped by now...” she rolled her eyes in irritation.
“I’m sorry he dragged you into that this morning.”
He smiled.
“Don’t worry about it, if worst comes to worst I always have the height advantage.” He said grinning. Abby laughed.
“Hmmm… Well I doubt he’d dare go through me” she said with a mischievous grin. Luka nodded along with mock horror.
“My god Abby, what would you do? Bite his ankles?” Abby glared at him ferociously. Luka hid behind his hands.
“Right, forgot about that one” she grinned.
“Yeah... I save it for special occasions” Luka laughed.
“Hmmm. Well we’d best get going before Weaver starts filling in a missing person’s report…” Abby laughed.
“Mmm. Yeah. See you later.” Luka had always been so easy to talk to, and unlike herself or Carter was not stubborn. Her smile faded as she saw Carter walking in her direction, “Speak of the devil…” she thought to herself she quickly ducked into the sutures room to avoid talking to him watching him whisk round the corner. She sighed rolling her head back against the wall in irritation.

Ok people, it's the brake up scene between Carter and Abby.. Please tell me what you think. It was supposed to be emotional but it's 20 to 1 in teh morning and my writing skills are fairly crap After avoiding Carter for an entire shift they collided near admit where they had parted that morning. They stood glaring at one another for a few moments then; “Are you getting your coat or what?” Carter asked snappily. Abby put her things back into her locker and grabbed her coat. Neither of them spoke a word all the way home. The tension was clear between them, they were facing in opposite directions, Abby with her arms crossed, Carter glaring fixedly in front of him. Abby walked in the front door first, followed by Carter who slammed the door shut. He stopped and looked at Abby seriously. Nodding at her as if he wanted her to say something, this action in itself annoyed her. “So?” he asked her. “What?” she replied coldly. “I don’t know, maybe you should explain it too me.” She looked around her in exasperated disbelief. “Why do you always play these games? You constantly seem to torture yourself and me, and what for? Why do you make me feel so awful about seeing a friend?” “You still haven’t told me what happened; you haven’t denied anything, what am I SUPPOSED to think when you wonder out with you ex? Stop dodging round the questions here.” “I getting tired of always having to prove myself to you, fixing myself and my problems to fit with you, why do I have to explain myself to you? Why can’t you trust me?” “Your still not addressing the original..-“ Abby cut in very pissed off. “Well since you’re ignoring my questions why should I bother with yours?” she said sharply. There was a long pause and they both shifted uncomfortably, they both knew what was coming but they both wanted the last word. Abby drew a long breath and started gently. “I hate who you are when you’re with me. You used to be such a good friend, so much fun. I hate who I am when I’m with you, it’s just a constant battle to get the last word, I feel like a teenager when I’m with you, and I’m tired of it. I’m tired.” She ended sadly; she was surprised how upset she was, after all hadn’t she felt like throttling the guy all day? She knew they had both just been clinging to this relationship because they were both too stubborn to end it. “So it’s over. I get it. Luka won.” Carter too had got a little choked up and was holding the back of his head with his hands and looked up towards the ceiling. Abby walked over to him and traced his face with her hands until she knew he was looking at her. “Nobody is winning anything. You know why this doesn’t work. It’s best we end it now so one day it won’t be too painful to be friends. You were one of my best John, and I never, never want to end up hating you.” He nodded. “So. I guess that’s that then.” He said quietly his arms folded as he looked up then down at the floor again. “Yeah… I guess so.” Abby said softly looking to the floor. She turned to go out of the door. “Goodbye Carter.” She said offering a small, sad smile. He nodded as his eyes met hers and the door closed.

The breaking up was neither mean nor ugly. Abby's words were carefully chosen, she didn't show any bitterness, and she tried to protect Carter's pride. NOOOOOO, your writing skills are no crap!!!!!

Abby walked slowly into her apartment and let out a loud, long sigh. She threw her things down on the sofa and then moments later collapsed onto it herself. She felt a dull gnawing pain in her head so she slowly started massaging her temples, she loved the way she could make her thoughts swirl too, it gave her a few moments not to concentrate on the future. Besides her headache she felt as if a weight had been lifted from her, she felt relieved that she and Carter were no longer together. Relived as she was though, it still hurt so it felt every muscle in her body was aching. She got ready for bed, climbed gingerly under the sheets and laid her aching body down. She sighed again as she turned off the light and curled up in a tight ball and resigned herself to sleep.
Next morning Susan spun round noticing Abby wondering in hurriedly and dashing toward her locker. Susan bounced in after her.
“Heyy!” she said brightly then noted Abby’s face.
“Are you ok?”
Abby crinkled her nose a little and made a face drawing a long breath and replying. “Bleh.”
Susan smiled looking concerned. “That bad huh? Did Carter freak out about us having coffee the other day? Doe he think we are having an affair?” she tried jokingly.
Abby looked to the ceiling then back at her friend. “Uh. We broke up.” She said blankly.
Susan pulled a face realising she had just dug herself a hole. “Oh Abby I am so sorry.”
Abby smiled and shrugged. “It’s ok, don’t be. It hasn’t been working for a while.”
Luka had been standing outside for a few moments waiting to go in but hadn’t wanted to disturb the conversation. He had been about to leave when Abby said the words “We broke up” a wild grin had come to his face and his heart leapt, ok he should feel bad, but he couldn’t help but feel a mass explosion of hope go off inside him.
Susan gave Abby a big friendly hug “That really sucks. I blame Carter!” she said.
Abby gave a small laugh. “Yeah… Me too a little.” She said grinning. “Nah… Hopefully it won’t be too weird after a while. Thank God he’s not on today…” Susan nodded.
“Let’s go and find ourselves some patients to take your mind off things.”
Abby nodded in agreement. “Mmm good plan!”
As the walked started walking out of the lounge they both walked straight into Luka who was still grinning to himself. Abby and Susan glanced at each other and gave Luka a questioning look. He was a very alarming shade of beetroot.
Turning round Luka’s gaze landed on Chuny who was nearby. “Uh. Chuny said something funny.” He stated. Chuny turned round looking confused.
“What?” she said. “I just heard my name”
Luka laughed nervously.
“See what I mean?” he asked.
Susan and Abby looked confused and each had their eyebrows raised.
“Right then..” Susan started.
“That’s… Great” said Abby with an amused smile.
The pair of the walked to admit to collect a few charts as Luka fled into the lounge.
“That was weird.” Abby stated.
Then Susan grinned and opened her mouth a little laughing. “Oh my God, I think he heard us talking. Hey Abby, maybe the brake up isn’t going to be so awful after all.” She said smiling and poking Abby as she laughed.
Abby laughed too and rolled her eyes. “Uh-huh surrrre, God you don’t half let your imagination run away with you.” They both chuckled and wondered over to some extremely grumpy looking patients.
I apologize about my lack of medicalness… I know next to nothing about any of the terms etc and always thought if you don’t know anything about it you shouldn’t try writing about it. So sorry about that I usually find the patients quiet interesting too… Ahh well.

Luka paced back and forth through the lounge. Oh dear God. He hated awkward situations as he had the tendency of stuttering and turning red. He had just been standing in the doorway grinning like an idiot. Although, from a different perspective the whole thing was hilarious. At least Abby didn’t seem to realise he had overheard the entire conversation. He wondered out of the lounge and received a confused, suspicious stare from Chuny who was sitting at admit with Frank and Jerry. He turned red again and fixed his gaze on the floor walking faster in the opposite way until he collided with someone “Ah!” they both cried as the tripped over one another Luka falling flat on his back and the other person falling on top of him.
“You know there are more conventional ways of doing this Luka...” Abby said with a grin.
Luka grinned sheepishly. “Sorry I, uh, didn’t see you.” He sat up to hear whoops of laughter coming from admit. Abby carefully stepped off Luka and he sat up, surprisingly not in pain.
“My God Abby!” he cried in surprise “What do you weigh like two pounds?”
Abby laughed and gave him a hand up. “Are you trying to make me feel short? With all your ‘I didn’t see you’ and ‘two pounds’ nonsense?”
Luka laughed. “If I wanted to make you feel small all I’d have to do is this.”
He stood up tall and went up on tiptoe so he was towering above her. She raised an eyebrow. “Mmm. Yeah. Point taken, everyone pick on Lockheart ‘cos she’s short. You bully you. Pushing colleges smaller than yourself all over the place, you know I should really report you.” Abby said in mock sincerity
“I should really make it up to you then. You doing anything tonight? We could go to a bar and dazzle them all with our amazing singing skills?” she smiled and rolled her eyes.
“I guess I’ve got nothing better to do.” Luka grinned “I’ll pick you up after our shift yeah?”
Abby nodded. “Yeah sure.” They walked off in their opposite ways. She hadn’t just agreed to a DATE date had she? No. Of course not. Besides despite what Susan says Luka doesn’t even know Carter and I broke it off. Ahh well. I need some fun, I’d rather be out with a friend than enjoying a relationship with the only two men in my house, Ben and Jerry. It’s fine. And so totally NOT a date. ‘Yeah you wish’ she thought. ‘Shutup brain’ was her reply.

Susan grinned wildly and started giggling when Abby told her about her plans for the evening. Abby looked at Susan with raised eyebrows, she folded her arms and shrugged.
“What?” Abby said defensively.
“It’s alright for me to go out for an evening with you but change the gender and somehow it becomes a date?”
Chuny and Haleh walked into the lounge to catch Abby’s last statement. Haleh jumped in
“Yes!” then Chuny nodded in mock wisdom and added
“Definitely.” All but Abby were giggling away and Abby just sighed.
“Talking to you guys is hopeless.”
“Why though? I thought you and Carter where an item?” Chuny pointed out.
Susan cut in barely being able to contain herself.
“Not anymore, and Kovac just asked her out…”
All three women were giggling wildly and looking at Abby questioningly. Abby cut it, all their giddiness had gotten to her and she couldn’t help but smile.
“It is NOT a date, it’s a mutual. Gathering of two… Friends, seriously I JUST broke up with Carter, I just didn’t feel like raiding my fridge all evening… So…”she stopped, they were all looking at her eyebrows raised and extremely annoying smiles.
“Stop LOOKING at me! Seriously everyone always gangs up on me…”
Chuny and Haleh laughed
“Oh yeah, we wondered what was going on with you on top of Kovac” Susan opened her mouth in mock horror and grinned.
“Abby you little hussy!”
Abby was laughing too by now.
“Ok no, no, nooo we ran INTO each other. You know what. I refuse to listen to you all abusing my good name, I am off to see some patients…”
Susan called after her
“Actually that’s not half bad… Abby Lockheart..” – Chuny suddenly cut in with
“The ER slut!” Abby smiled sarcastically and stuck up middle finger up at them
“Screw you ALL!” she said sweetly and walked out leaving their laughter behind her.
