ER – You Never Know Who You’ll Meet…

Takes place after John Carter leaves…

Dr. Abby Lockhart was sitting at the bar looking back at Dr. Ray Barnett and Dr. Neela Rasgotra.  They were both drunk laughing of their asses and falling all over each other.  Oddly hot looks at each other and then more drinking, hips pressing against each other and Abby was sure there was something brewing between the roommates.  They were well beyond drunk they were plastered.  Neela’s dark arms were wrapped around Ray’s neck and they were nose to nose dancing to the thumping and hard pumping beats of the dance club.  This wasn’t Abby’s scene this was Ray’s sort of place, where he usually picked up groupies.  Tonight he seemed to be picking up Neela.

Abby sighed lightly to herself, and then smiling at the bartender and the woman nodded back with a wink.  They were at a club that Ray frequented Abby ran her finger around the glass’ rim deep in thought.  Her dark eyes glazed over in deep thought, turning her face stormy and serious.

She was going to miss Carter or rather John.  She ran her finger over her lips thinking about how she really hated her life at the moment.  Abby’d worked so hard to get here to be a doctor and she felt like she might have made a mistake.  She was always questioning her skills and she wasn’t sure how long she could work under Morris.  He drove Abby nuts and she’d caught him checking her ***** the other day and had wished for a bat to swat him with.  She had chased away a half-decent man because she certainly wasn’t ready for his view on family and love.  He’d also been much to young for her really.  Abby rested her chin on her hands on the bar and stared hard at the soda in front of her.

She’d drank away a good part of her life away wallowed in a place that just didn’t fit her then darted into this odd relationship.  What had that been about?  She was never going to find a man that would put up with her *****.  She had a lot of ***** to deal with, namely her mother, her brother and her own lack of commitment.
