I started a new one cause I'm a little stuck on ' She's back' . Hope you'll like it. History: Abby had married Richard when she found out she was pregnant, after 9 years she finally saw the real Richard. Katie, their daughter, wanted to stay with her dad, she was a little bitch. Maggie and Eric lifted together and whatever Abby tried both of them wouldn't listen. So she choose for herself. Luka, (he'll be in the next part) came to America after his wife was killed in the war in Croatia. He took his 6year old son and 12 year old daughter with him. He allready worked at County for 5 years.
I have a history, I have a past. But I need to leave it all behind. Tomorrow it’s my first day at County General Hospital. I finally have a job as nurse, a home to life in and money to spend. No one knows me, nobody will ask about family, husband or child. I ran away and choose my own pad.
I remember it like yesterdat that I left Richard and my 9 year old daughter Katie. I just couldn’t take it any longer. He hitted me and Katie choose his side, she wanted to stay. Also the day I said goodbye to my mother Maggie and brother Eric. I wrote them a letter to explain why and I ended it with, don’t try to find me. Cause I’ll keep running untill you stop searching. It was a hard desicion but I needed to make it. I need to start a new life. I just hope I have nice coleaques, someone who will be my friend. I just need one, that’s enough. I allready know I need to ask for Dr. Susan Lewis, I’ll hope she’s friendly. I had my jobintervieuw with Dr. Kerry Weaver, she looks like a bitch.
Need to get some sleep. My shift starts at 8.00pm. My new life has began.

Hey Bostongirl,
You've started with a great storyline, keep writing under that point of view, it seems interesting.
For Katie, as I am a single mom, I always think that kids should stay with the mother instead the dad, maybe you could make her get back to her mom in the future, just an idea...
Hope you update soon.

I woke early this morning, at 6 my alarm clock ran off. I took the El towards County. Walking slowly because my shift isn’t on before 8 and it’s just 7.30. I get some coffee at a place called Doc. Magoo’s. A lot of doctors and nurses around here and the coffee is good, but not great. Ambulances are driving in and out the ambulance bay, it’s magnificent to see how many people need help. Also terrifying cause it means a lot of work.
7.50, I drag myself a way trough the entrance of the ER. I see the admit and Dr. Kerry Weaver. She greets me and says that Susan will get me when she’s ready and that I can take a seat in the waiting room. After 15 minutes of waiting a blonde woman walks up to me. “Sorry for letting you wait so long but it’s a little busy around here. My name is Susan, guess your Abigail?” And she sticks her hand out. I stand up and do the same thing, she smiles. “No sorry’s I saw how busy it was. Yes I’m Abigail but please call me Abby.” And I smile back.
“Well I’ll show you around today so stick with me, I’m walking fast. This is the lounge, you can put your coat and bag in the locker with ‘Hattaway’ on it.” And she opens a door.
“Abby, it’s lunchtime for us now are joining us?” Susan asks when I finish up a kid. “Sure. Just a minute.” And I put a bandage on the boy’s forehead.
“Abby, this is Dr. Luka Kovac.” Says Susan when we share a table with a man. He’s tall, handsome and when he smiles I can’t do anything else than smile back. “Hi.....my name is Abby.” Aw stupid me I look like a teenager. “Welcome at County. So where are you from?” He asks. “Minnesota. And you? Your not from America I can hear that.” And again I smile. “Croatia.” “Wow. That’s Europe isn’t?” How stupid Abby.........I know its Europe. “Yeah it is.”
“Abby. We need to go back to work, major trauma coming in.” I forgot Susan who’s sitting next to me.
“Couldn’t you warn me for that stunning Croatia guy?” I ask Susan when we walk back to the hospital. “You’re not the first one. Every one who meets him melts down. He has something. You’ll find out later why he is alone.” Says Susan with a bit of pride in her voice. I like Susan she could be a friend. She’s just like me I think. And I can laugh with her.
After my shift ends Susan asks me if I want to grab dinner with her, so she’s alone too. “Well I already did groceries yesterday. But you can join me at my place if you like?” I ask her. “Fine. Do you always prepare dinner for yourself?” “No but once in a while I love cooking.” I say and smile to her.
“Thanks for dinner Abby. You’re a brilliant cook. And pizza orderer.” She laughs, I screwed up the cooking so we ordered pizza. “Thanks it was nice not being alone tonight. I’ll see you tomorrow.” “You’re welcome Abby. See you.” And I close the door behind her.
After Susan left I took a long warm shower and lay down in bed to fall asleep. I did it. I took this change to start a brand new life and it feels great!
Just a light update...but I wanted Abby to meet Luka...

Sorry no lubylove yet. I'm stuck with Susan...causse she needs to do something for Abby can move to Luka. Just wait....will happen soon.
My first week is ended and tonight I’m going out with Susan. It has been a hard week with a lot to learn and searching. But it’s worth everything I gave up. Nobody has asked me about my history and I’ll hope they never do.
Today I arrived home and it felt lonely. For the first time since the day I left home I missed my Katie. Although she said to the judge that she wanted to stay with her daddy. She loves him so much, she is a copy of him. A brief moment I want to pick up the phone and dial Richard number but I don’t. Afraid of what he will say or ask and to damn unsure about myself. So I decide to write her a letter.
Dear Katie, How are you sweety? Mom is doing fine in Chicago I’m working in a big hospital and it’s cool to help people who are sick. I hope your doing fine at school and dance lessons. Hun, mommy misses you….really much. And mommy hopes you will write a letter back or come to visit me when you’re ready. I just wanted you to know that what ever you decide mommy will always love and miss you. I think about you my hun. And at night I sometimes cry about you.
With Love, Your mommy.
I know, it’s not much but I can’t tell her much more. I just don’t have the words. I’m crying when the doorbell rings. God its Susan.
“Hey Abs, are you ok?” Susan asks when she sees my fluffy eyes. “Yeah I’m ok. I’ll fresh up and we go grab some dinner.” I say to her trying to look so strong. “Right. But are you sure?” She knows me to well already to see something is wrong. I’m such an open book. “Yes, just saw a sad movie. Nothing to worry about.” And I smile. I can’t tell her, can’t show her what a weak person I am. Although she will understand me, I know that for sure. But just not yet. Maybe later. When time is right. “Well you know you can talk to me, I will listen Abby.” I hear her say when I close the bathroom door. More tears are running down my face…god this needs to stop. “Abby? Are you ok? You’ve been in there for 25 minutes.” She’s worried. “Yeah just a minute.” I turn on the cold water and splash some of it in my face. When I come out of the bathroom Susan is sitting at my dinner table. Shit I forgot to put the letter for Katie away. “Abby are you really sure there is nothing you want to talk about?” Again she looks at me with those wide eyes. “No, not now. I’ll tell you when the time is there.” And I sigh. “Come on lets grab some dinner.” I say and walk up to the door.

Thanks for your reviews!!!
I need to tell her. I just need to. I feel the urge to talk about it and Susan is the only person whom I trust. Although Luka has been a great friend to, but he’s a man, he won’t understand. And then again I don’t know anything about him. So I asked Susan to come on over and have a girls night in. I bought chocolate (witch will help me during the crying..) chips, soda and so much more food.
When she arrives I can feel I’m pretty nervous, she can tell it by the look on my face. “So girls night. More girls coming?” She asks as she makes herself comfortable at my couch. “Nah, just you and good old me. It’s not a regular girls night. I need to spread my heart. You don’t have to listen. Coffee?” “Yeah coffee is nice. And as I already told you a couple of times I’m here for you. I’m your friend Abs.” I nod and turn away into the kitchen.
Tell me your story I want to know what makes you happy what makes you sad
When I arrive back in the living she’s smiling at me. “So what’s up your mind? You can tell me anything.” She grabs her coffee and I’m going to sit on the upper site of the couch. Trying to make myself comfortable but I can’t find a good position.
Tell me your story is it good or is it bad does it have a happy ending will it make me laugh
“Right, I’ll start with some family history first. I grew up with a bipolar mom and no father. He ran away and left me and my younger brother behind. It wasn’t a great start but I managed to put myself trough it. I almost raised my brother. My mom was there for us when she was on her meds but when she was of she wasn’t there…she ran away, slept with all the guys she could get and tried to kill herself several times. She had good day’s and bad day’s. At university, when I was going to med-school, I met Richard. We had a great relation and before we knew I was pregnant. So we decided we needed to get married. Just one month after the wedding I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Katie.” I pause and take a deep breath, this was the easiest part of my life. She takes my hand and squeezes in it.
Tell me your story the story of your heart the story of tomorrow if you had a brand new start
“You don’t have to Abby. Only if you want to talk about it. I’m not willing to push you. It’s your choice.” She says and she lays her hand around my shoulder. It’s so nice that she wants to listen and it’s also nice that’s she’s willing to be a friend. Someone I can relay to. “No I need to get this of my chest. And someone needs to know cause they need to be informed when something happens to me.” I take a deep breath and close my eyes. There is so much more.
Tell me your story tell me no lies I’ll listen with my heart
“Well that was the easiest part. Right Katie grew up normally and Richard finished Law-School. He found a job and I took care of the house and Katie. But after 5 years Katie was going to school and I was bored being home alone all day. I asked Richard if there was an option for me to finish med-school. He yelled, swore and for the first time he hit me. I was shocked and didn’t do anything. I stayed home, helped Katie with her homework and did everything with her. But the hitting began to get worse when on Katie’s 8th birthday. I had a blue eye when I woke her. She asked what happened, I knew she saw what had happened but she didn’t say a word. I told her I hit it on the sink. During that period my brother started with the first signals of bipolar and I needed to help him. But he didn’t want me there, he hated me. Although that’s what my mom said. It made me feel alone. I had no one to talk with. No one knew a thing about what happened at home. I didn’t have any friends due to Richard who kept me inside. Katie started to hate me and she never said a single word about the situation at home. I decided it was time to choose my own path. I wrote a letter to my mom and brother, left a goodbye note for Richard and Katie and took of. I checked in at a hotel nearby by family. Days later I ran into my mom. She cried like a kid and said she needed to talk. So I took her for coffee and she told me something I still don’t believe.” Again I sigh and wipe away the tears. I hate it that Susan sees how vulnerable I’m.
l me your story how you fought and lost the war how your words were left hanging how your soul cried out for more
“O god Abs. Come here.” And she pulls me close to her and wraps her arms around me. I let go. Everything. I start crying like a little kid who was robed from his favorite toy. My head is resting on her shoulder and I feel her sweater is getting wet. One hand is on my back and the other on my head. It feels so refreshing that someone finally is there for me instead I’m there for them. “Abby, what’s the thing your mom told you?” She whispers in my ear. “Next time please. It’s been enough for tonight.
I change the subject and we talk about work, patients and colleagues. “O Susan it’s 1.30 aren’t you tired?” I say when I look up at the clock. “A little but I think you need me here tonight. I can’t leave you alone like this. “You could stay over. I’ve a spare-room.” “Think that’s the best.” “Let’s go to bed.” Brushing our teeth’s together I feel like a kid on camp. “Suz, thanks.” I smile at her. “It’s ok Abby.” And she smiles back when she walks away. “Night” I say when I pass the spare-room. “Night you too.”
l me your story how you fought and lost the war how your words were left hanging how your soul cried out for more
