Carter-she'll make it
Peter-I hope so.....
Carter-she will. Lucy's a fighter.
2 weeks later.................
Lucy was fully recovered. She would experience pain sometimes though. But she was just so bored at home.Suddenly, there was a knck at the door. Lucy opened it.
Lucy-hi Carter
Carter-hey, Luce. You look great!
Lucy-thanks, same for you. I have a shift in 20 minutes.......

Lucy-right, thank you Dr.Carter, how could I forget?
Lucy added with a little sarcasm and walked out and down the hall. Carter followed her.
Carter-Lucy?Where are the pills?
Lucy-uh,......in my locker......
Carter-the locker room is that way.
Carter pointed in the other direction.
Lucy-right......, yea.........
Lucy turned the other direction and walked. carter followed her.
Lucy-stop following me
Carter-I don't have to
Lucy-why do you care so much? all of the sudden, you care........
Carter-you're my friend.....
Lucy-ha! I'm your friend? I think that maybe you feel a little guilty about what happened!! You didn't listen to me and all this happened!! You know what Carter, you're right, it is your fault!
NOw, the whole entire staff was watching them....
Carol-Carter? you okay?
Carter-uh..., yea......
Carter walks calmly over to the locker room and walks in.
He sees a frail body on the floor. blonde hair all over.
Carter-oh my god, Lucy? Lucy, can you hear me?
Carter picks her up and runs outside.
Carter-somebody get a gurney!And page Benton and Greene!
Carol brought a gurney....Carter carefully places Lucy on it.
Carol-oh my god Lucy.........
Carol and Carter brought LUcy into truma 1.

Carter-yup
Mark-what do you think Carter?
Carter-pill overdose?
Mark-possibility. Has she been taking her pain medication?
Carter-I told her too. She told me to back off.
Mark-did you?
Carter-no...I kept telling her to take it. Then she yelled at me and ran to the locker room. I came 2 minutes later and she was on the floor.
Mark-okay, I need a 36 french.......
Carol-blood pressures dropping

Carter-do you remember what happened?
Lucy-yea.......
Carter-why haven't you been taking your medication?
Lucy-you won't understand....

Lucy-it took me such a long time to get off the ritalin. I'm finally off it, and I have these pain medications. I can't go through with it again!
Carter takes Lucy's hand...
Carter-yes, but you could die if you don't take them.......
Lucy-I'd rather die then become an addict.
Carter-Lucy!
Lucy-you know Carter, I'm sorry for what I said. I know your a friend and your trying to help. I also know that you do fell a little guilty.
She smirks a smile

Lucy-Benton?
Carter-I was his med student once, remember?
Lucy-oh yea....
Carter-I'd lie to him and he's always know..............
2 weeks later..........
Carter walked up to Lucy's apartment....
Carter knocked and Lucy answered.
Lucy-Hi
Carter-hey, want to go ice-skating?
He held up his skates.
Lucy-yea, sure, let me get my skates.
Skating rink..............
Carter-I'm so horrible at skating
Lucy-then why'd you suggest it?
carter-I thought maybe you'd like it....
Lucy-aww....how sweet, you thought of me......
Hospital......
Kerry-where's Lucy and Carter? Aren't they on today?
randi-yea, today, not now though
haleh-I saw them at the ice skating rink
Conni-together?
Carol-you've got to be kidding
Haleh-yea, they looked very happy.
Carol-you don't think.........
Conni-they are cute together
Kerry-they're probably just friends. I mean, they need moral support.
Carol-yea
Conni-right
Kerry saw Mark and caught up with him.
Kerry-Mark
Mark-Kerry
Kerry-have you noticed that Carter and Lucy have been spending a lot of time together?
MArk-well, he's her teacher, she's his student, they need support. Especially after what they've been through........
Kerry-maybe we should remind them about hospital policy.............
6:00.......
carter-hey everyone
Haleh-hi Carter. Where's Lucy?
Carter-I don't know. Why?
Haleh-oh, nothing...........
Suddenly Lucy walked up.
Lucy-hey Carter
Carter-hey Luce.
Carter and Lucy walked to the locker room.
Carol-Luce?
Chuni-something is definately going on.
Conni-how would you know?
Chuni-first of all, he didn't yell at her for being late.
Carol-okay.......and he called her Luce.
Haleh-and I did see them at the skating rink, together.
Locker Room.........
Carter-so anyway, she went to Pakistan. She said she'd be back in about 4-6 months, and I never saw her again.
Lucy-talk about a ditch plan
Carter-what?!She liked me very much.
Lucy-oh yea, I'm so sure.
Carter-hey, umm.....Luce?
Lucy-yea?
carter-there's a Carter tradition. Every Christmas, we go looking for a tree and we cut it down. I'm going tonight, wanna come?
Lucy-yea,.....sure..........
Lucy-okay, bye everyone!
Carter-yea, see ya.
Lucy and Carter left together.
Conni-did you see that?
Mark-what?
Conni-Carter and Lucy left together. They're so perfect for each other...
Carter and Lucy trampled they're feet through the snow.
Lucy-so, uh, what are we looking for again?
carter-a douglas fir with a small trunk.
Lucy-right...oh, here's one!
Carter-let's see, it's perfect! Okay, now stand back.
Lucy-what?! You're going to cut it down?!
Carter-Lucy, I have an ax in my hand, what do you think I'm going to do?
Lucy-not to this tree you won't. Pick some other tree, an ugly tree.
Carter-Lucy!
Lucy-CArter! So this tree is going to die just because it's pretty?
Carter burst out laughing.
Carter-you know you really crack me up sometimes?
Lucy burst out laughing.
Carter walked into the hospital for another shift.
Carter-Mark, can I talk to you?
Mark-uh, yes, I want to talk to you too.
Carter-okay, well, umm......when Lucy ....
Mark-that's exactly what I want to talk to you about. I've seen you two, together.....I want to know......
Carter-no, let me finish.When Lucy graduates, would it be against Hospital policy to date her?
Mark-oh man, I knew this was going to happen. answer me one question Carter, do you love her?
Carter-I don't know
Mark-well, when you know the answer to that let me know...
Mark started to walk
Carter-yes! yes, I do love her!
carter had shouted it so loud that the whole hospital had heard.
carol-who?
Carter-no one you know.
Remember when, when we needed each other
the best of friends, like sister and brother
we understand, we never leave, alone
those days are gone, and now I want you so much
the night is long and I need your touch
don't know what to say
never meant to feel this way
don't wanna be, alone tonight
Carter was in bed. It was 3:35 in the morning. He couldn't get Lucy out of his head. His conversation with Mark was also there. He got up and put on a jacket and ran outside.
Chorus:what can I do
to make it right
fallen so hard
so fast this time
what can I say, what did you do?
How did I fall, in love with you?
Carter approached an apartment and knocked on the door.
oh I wanna say this right
and it has to be tonight
just need you to know
I don't wanna live this life
I don't wanna say good-night
with you I wanna spend
the rest of my life
carter! what are you doing here?
Carter-can I come in?
Lucy-yea, sure.
carter-there's something I need to tell you....
what can I do
to make it right
fallen so hard
so fast this time
what did I say
what did you do
how did I fall in love with you?
Carter-I...the past days have been like heaven to me..I...I realized, that...I ...I love you.
Lucy has a blank face
carter-I mean, I know it makes no sense but I mean I love being with you and I know hospital...
Lucy interrupts him by kissing him passiontely.
Carter-uh, I .......so, uh, I guess you feel the same?
Lucy kisses him again.
Everything's changed
we never knew
How did I fall, in love, with you?
