As time goes by.
Abby.“Hey beautiful!”
Oh my god what is he doing no not in front of Luka I don’t have time for your silly games idiot!
“I better get back to work!”
Luka stands up not taking his eyes off me his hurt burning into my soul “Luka wait…” I drop Madison’s hand and rush out the lounge after him.
“Don’t bother go back to your perfect family Abby.”
He says nasty not even turning around to look at me “Luka…” I grip his arm and pull on it to try and stop him but he is too strong “please Luka I don’t know what he has said but it isn’t true I swear!” he stops and turns.
“He said you called and your getting back together nothing else matters Abby just go play happy family’s......"
I watch him storm off throw the ER banging anything that comes into contact with his fists before spinning on my toes and smacking my hand into the lounge door “Madison ears!” I tell her and with in seconds she covers her ears with her music player.
“Abby princess just…”
I cut him off “how dare you walk in and just think you can pick me up and down when you feel like it?” I shake my head not believing he could do this “you cheated on me with your f**king slider slapper what makes you think I want you?” now I wait for him to answer.
“Maddie said you were smiling and happy I thought it was cause you knew I was coming, and she isn’t a kid she is 21 Abby.”
Luka.30 minutes before………I walk into the lounge huffing loudly it’s been one of those days today you know when everything seems so shit but you have to carry on for that little bit of hope at the end of a shift?
“Hi Dr Luka.”
Wow “Madison hi sweetie” I smile when I notice who it is “does your mommy know your back honey?” I ask kneeling down to her level as she draws on the floor.
“I told the guy behind the desk to tell Ab’s.”
I look up hearing another voice I didn’t realise was even here “oh hi” I say noticing how much Madison looks like the gent standing in front of me.
“I’m Richard Lockhart, Abby’s husband.”
Wow husband huh? “Ex husband right?” I ask extending my hand to meet his as he reaches out to shake my hand.
“Well we decided to have a break but you know she’s my wife and giving it another go is for the best for Madison for us both.”
He seems smug like he knows I spent last night with her but he can’t could he? “Oh I thought….” I play dumb.
“She called me last night begging me to come back that she’s unhappy, I hate to see a desperate woman cry.
Wow I walked her home and with in seconds she was on the phone to him begging him to come back am I that bad? But earlier what was all tat about?
The lounge door swings open and I see Madison rushing towards it with her arms open wide.
“MOMMY……..”
Abby bends down ready to catch Maddie in my arms she looks past her and smile at me but what can I do then look away feeling hurt.
"Hey beautiful."
Richard says leaning in and kissing her cheek as Abby's face changes a different shade of white i'm guessing she didn't think i'd be here to see this god I can’t stand this “I better get back to work!” I need to get out of here.
