Thank you for your really nice comments. Charlotte Abby awoke the next day with a smile on her face. Even though she knew she had to work the night shift whilst Luka was working the day shift for the next few days, she was happy. She looked over at the clock on the bedside cabinet to see that it was almost 11am. She hadn’t realised how tired she had been. She stretched and felt her hand catch something. She turned over so that she was facing the side of the bed where Luka had been asleep only hours earlier. Reaching out her hand, she pulled what appeared to be a piece of paper from his pillow.
Hi Abby,
Just thought I would let you know (in case you were wondering or had forgotten) that I had to leave early this morning, I’m on from seven, and I should finish at about eight. I didn’t want to wake you because you needed your sleep. I’ll see you later; perhaps we can grab a coffee or something?
I Love You,
Luka
At that moment, Luka was snowed under with patients. The ER was getting slammed and the staff were run off their feet. Luka had been running numerous traumas and even though he had only been working for almost hours, he already felt like he had done a twelve-hour shift. He looked up at the clock on the wall near Admit, where he was standing. He sighed, knowing that he had another nine hours until he could leave the damn place, and eight until he would see Abby. Abby. He smiled.
Abby smiled to herself, knowing that she had someone who really cared for her, loved her. She reached over onto the bedside cabinet for the phone. She punched in the number for the ER and waited for someone to pick up:
“Hello?” She heard Jerry’s voice at the other end of the line,
“Hi Jerry, is Kovac around?” She asked,
“Yeah, hang on a minute,”
“Ok,” She said, before hearing him shout,
“Hey Kovac! I’ve got Abby on the phone for you here!”
Luka heard Jerry calling out to him as he walked back towards Admit,
“Thanks Jerry, I’ll take it in the lounge,” He replied, turning and walking in the direction of the lounge.
“Hello sweetheart,” He said, having checked the room to make sure that nobody else was around,
“Hi, I found your note,”
“Good, I’m sorry that I left without saying goodbye this morning,”
“That’s ok, how’s work going?”
“We’ve been getting slammed, but I hope that it will slow down soon. What time are you getting in?”
“I’m on at six, but I was thinking that I’ll get in for about half past five, and perhaps we can grab that coffee.” Abby suggested,
“Sounds good, I’ll see you in a few hours then,”
“Yeah, see you then. And Luka,”
“Yes?”
“I love you,”
“I love you too,”
The shift passed very slowly for Luka, and he was glad when it got to half past five. He declared himself as being on a break and headed outside into the ambulance bay where he was meeting Abby. He noticed whilst he was stood there that the temperature had dropped since the day before and there was more ice around. He couldn’t believe how fast the previous year had gone by, it was winter already.
Abby took the EL to work. She hated having to do the night shift, especially when she knew that Luka wasn’t on, and that Morris was in charge. ‘Exactly my idea of a good time, having to spend the night with Morris hitting on me all the time and Ray waiting to see where I slip up so that he can catch out me and Luka. Oh well, at least Neela’s on tonight too.’ She looked at her watch and sighed, it was five-thirty; she was late. The train pulled into the station and she hurried down the stairs, and round the corner into the ambulance bay. Luka was waiting for her.
Luka looked up as he heard footsteps coming towards him. He felt his heart leap as he took in her petite frame and smiled as his eyes met hers. She reached him and they headed over the road to get a coffee. A few minutes later they had found a table and sat down.
“How has your day been then?” Luka asked,
“Oh, you know, a bit of cleaning here and there, and I’ve been around to my apartment to change.”
“Well you may be happy to hear that Morris called in sick, so Susan’s on tonight instead,”
“That’s good, although it has been a bit awkward between the two of us since she came back, because I’m sure that she knows that I’m not telling her something,”
“Maybe it’s time to tell her the truth, it’d be better coming from you than if someone finds out and she gets told that way,”
“You’re right, but I don’t know how, though I’m sure I’ll figure it out soon,”
“Yeah you will, I know you will in your own time,”
Abby didn’t answer; instead she reached over the table for his hands and laced her fingers through his. She leaned forward, and captured his lips with her own.
They had to get to work so they abandoned their half-empty cups of coffee and walked back across the street to the ER. They quickly got pulled into the motions as the volume of patients had increased once again. Eventually eight pm arrived and Luka headed into the lounge to change. Before he left, he poked his head around the curtain in which Abby was working,
“Are you leaving now?” She asked,
“Yeah, just stopped in to say goodnight,”
“Thanks, I’ll see you tomorrow,” She replied, leaning up to give him a peck on the lips,
“Bye” He said one last time, before leaving.
Abby turned back to her patient, to find her smiling at her,
“Is that your partner love?” She asked,
“How did you guess!” Abby joked, “But nobody else around here knows, so I’d appreciate it if you didn’t say anything!”
Luka was driving home. He stopped at a red light and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel to the beat of the music. The light changed to green, and he pulled away, all of a sudden, there was a flash of light, and then everything went black…

Sorry it's so short, Charlotte
Abby was stood at Admit talking to Neela; it was a very slow evening. They were alone, since everyone else had things to do: some had patients, others were doing stock checks, and the list went on.
“So, have you told anybody yet?” Neela asked, Abby knew that she meant Susan,
“No, I really don’t know what to say to her,” She replied,
“I’m sure you will when the time is right,”
“I know, I…” Abby was cut off as the radio crackled into life.
“Come in County General…”
Neela picked up the handset and replied,
“County General receiving,”
“We’re on our way to you with victims of an MVA, ETA about eight minutes,”
“Understood, over and out,” Abby sighed as Neela replaced the handset,
“Looks like we’re about to get slammed,” She commented,
“Let’s warn the others and get set up,” Neela said,
Five minutes later they were stood outside along with Ray and Susan waiting for the ambulances to arrive, they could hear the sound of sirens in the distance. A couple of minutes later, the first one arrived and Susan told Neela and Ray to deal with it, whilst she and Abby waited for the second. It arrived a few seconds later and Abby quickly opened the doors with Susan by her side. They helped the two crew members to lift the gurney out, and suddenly Abby found herself looking down upon the face of the man she was in love with. He was unconscious.

Thank you for your comments, Charlotte
Abby froze. All of her medical knowledge seemed to just disappear from memory. All she could think was that she couldn’t lose him. Not now…
“Abby!” A voice broke through her thoughts,
She looked up. Susan reached across the gurney and touched her arm,
“This is hard for all of us…” She had no idea…
“…he’s a friend for all of us…” She gripped the rail tighter, not wanting to let go…
They reached the trauma room and everyone started working on Luka. Abby didn’t move,
“Abby! Come on, we need your help here,” Susan said authoritatively,
“I can’t do this,” She whispered to herself,
“What?”
“I can’t do this!” She said a little louder and she turned and left the trauma room, running down the corridor and shutting herself in the lounge. She cried. She didn’t know what else to do. She felt so useless, helpless, afraid. She was shaking. She couldn’t do this. She couldn’t lose him. He couldn’t…die…
She heard the lounge door open and looked up. Her eyes were filled with tears, and those that had fallen had left her face looking tearstained.
“Oh Abby…” The person said, she could pick out the British accent clearly despite the state that she was in. It was Neela.
The next thing she knew, she was being embraced. She rested her head on Neela’s shoulder, and continued to sob uncontrollably.
“What am I going to do Neela? If he dies I’ll have nothing left,”
“He won’t die,” Neela replied reassuringly, he loves you too much to leave you Abby,”
“I love him too,” She whispered.
Meanwhile, in the trauma room, Susan, Pratt, Ray, Chuny and Haleh were working on Luka.
“Stats are dropping!” Haleh shouted, watching the monitors,
“He needs intubating,” Susan directed,
“I’ll do it!” Ray called, moving quickly past Pratt, who was checking the x-rays, to the head of the bed,
“He needs the OR!” Pratt concluded, “There’s blood in the belly,”
“I’ll call them,” Chuny offered…
Back in the lounge, Neela was still comforting Abby, when she realised something;
“Hey Abby, you do realise that everyone thought it was a bit weird you running out like that. I mean, I know why, and you know why, but they don’t, and you don’t normally have a problem treating friends…”
“I know,” She whispered, “But when I saw him like that I just froze, I couldn’t do anything for him, so I ran, I had to get away, couldn’t see him when I didn’t know what would happen, you know?”’
“I understand, “ There was nothing else that could be said,
Half an hour later, Susan opened the lounge door and stepped inside quietly. She looked around, and located Abby and Neela on the couch. Neela was sat with her arms around Abby, whilst Abby was resting her head on Neela’s shoulder; she had tears running down her cheeks. They both looked up as they heard the lounge door close. Abby was the first to speak up;
“What happened? Is he ok?”
Susan looked her in the eye,
“Well…” She began
