Chapter 2 Recaps: Carter gets mad at Lucy because he's jealous. He thinks she always chooses the rotten guys. She says he just called himself rotten cause she chose him.
Ch. 3
Carter looked at Lucy, he was extremely confused. He couldn't believe what she had just said. She had said that she had chosen him. When? He didn't remember that happening. Than he remembered the exam six incident. She had wanted to be with him then. Maybe that's what she meant. "Luce, you chose me?"
"Yeah, I did. I wanted to be with you in exam six, but you thought that we shouldn't because we weren't compatible." She remembered how she had felt when he told her that she drove him crazy. She remembered how he had yelled at her when she said that he wasn't in touch with his feelings. She also remembered how he had responded when she said that they reminded her of her grandparents. "I wanted to be with you that day, and so many other days, but you wouldn't so I moved on. I thought you had too, you were always talking about how good you and Roxanne were together and you were always bragging about all of your great dates. Now I can brag back, cause I have found someone who I love and who loves me back. Dave wanted me when I wanted him and he still does. That more than I can say about you. He didn't say that I was a medical student and he was a resident. Oh and just so you know, where do you get off saying that we couldn't have worked because I was a medical student and you !
were a resident, while when you were an intern you dated Abby Keaton? Huh. I think you were just using it as an excuse." She put her hands on her hips and grilled him with her eyes. "You think that I was just making an excuse to not be with you? I swear...wait a minute how did you know about Abby and me?"
"Oh, I had a source. I worked with him for a rotation, but Dale told me first and Dr. Benton just backed it up for him. Anyways what were you saying about you swore?"
"Damn Dale, and Benton we thought we could trust him."
"Dr. Carter answer my question."
"What was the question again?...Oh yes I swear to you that I really would have been with you if you hadn't been my student. I didn't want to jeopradize yours career in medicine nor mine. If we had gotten together we would have been fired for accusations of falsifying your results. You know that just as much as I do. However if you hadn't gotten together with Dave I would have made a move on you after you changed rotations." Carter looked down at his feet and waited for her reaction. However the one she gave was not the reaction he was hoping for. "You bastard. I cared about you so much, and you couldn't even look me in the eye when you just said that, let alone say it to me before all this started. I hate you John Carter. I'm asking Weaver for a transfer to another resident, I can't work with you anymore." She started to walk out of the lounge, but before she got past him he grabbed a hold of her arm and spun her around. "Lucy, what do you mean, before this all started? What!
has started? Don't lie to me."
"Nothing, I just mean everything. You get all make at me about lying to you and yet you can go and lie to me. That's what I meant."
"Bull Lucy, I thought you said you weren't gonna lie to me anymore?"
"Me lie to you, I think you have my actions mixed up with your own Dr. Carter. I can't believe you have the odacity to stand there and accuse me of lying right after you have been lying to me for months. God, I have to get away from you before I do something that I'm gonna regret. Please just leave me alone and tell Weaver that you're okay with the transfer. Please."
Lucy walked out of the room, and sadly for Dr. John Carter, possibly out of his life. He had to get through to her somehow. Maybe if he talked to Dave. Or maybe to Deb and get her to tell Dave about her true feelings.Vut chances are if he did that and Lucy really did have true feelings for Dave he would just hurt her more and he truly didn't want to do that. Carter sat down on the couch and put his head in his hands. He hadn't heard Abby come in. "Dr. Carter are you okay? You don't look so good."
"I'm fine it's just Lucy's mad at me, and I can't believe she's with Dave. You know how I feel about her. God..everything is just so wrong."
"You're really shoken up about this aren't you? If I tell you this you have to promise not to be mad at Lucy and not to tell her I told you? K?"
"Okay Abby, I promise."
"Okay, I'm only telling you this because you really seem to like Lucy and I think the charade has gone on long enough. Even if it's only been going on for a couple of hours. Lucy and Dave aren't dating. Their not even really friends. It was all a plan. To get you and Deb jealous. They would pretend to be dating to get under your's and Deb's skin. I take it it worked on you, but I'm not sure about Deb. Just don't be mad at Lucy. She really cares about you, she just wanted to give you a peice of your own medicine. You do flaunt you relationships in her face and you're usually a real asshole to her." Carter couldn't believe what he was hearing. The whole Dave and Lucy dating thing had been for his benefit, and Deb's. Abby was right though he did usually flaunt his relationships. But only to show Lucy how wrong they were for eachother so she would move on and so he wouldn't want her as much. But was he really an asshole to her. Sure we get in arguments, and I do tend to yell at !
her for everything little mistake, but I'm just helping learn. Benton did it to me and to Gant. But look how Gant had ended up. He DID NOT want Lucy to kill herself over his be hard on her. Carter stood up, hugged Abby, thanked her and went to the roof. He assumed she would be up there. When he got to the roof he saw her hunched in a corner sobbing. The tears were making her intire body shake. He crept up behind her and covered her eyes.
Lucy didn't realize someone was there until Dave put his hands over her eyes. "Oh Dave, it's all turning out wrong. We shouldn't have done this, I love Carter, I really do and I don't want to hurt him. I'm going to tell him everything and you should tell Deb. I know for a fact that she's into you." Lucy gasped as she smelled her surroundings and recognized the all to familar cologne. Carter was behind her not Dave. She whirled around, knocking him over. "Dr. Carter, what are you doing? I thought I told you not to bother me anymore?"
"You did, but Abby filled me in on the little plan and I'm not mad. I'm actually flattered that you would go so out of your way to make me jealous of Dave. Like how could I be jealous of Dave. If it weren't you I probably wouldn't have been, but it was you and I was jealous. I love you Lucy, I have for a while now. I just didn't want to believe it or accept it. I don't give a damn about the policy anymore we can either have a relationship in secret or we can get you transfered to another resident like you said. But I want to be with you no matter what. Lucy are you okay? What's wrong? Why are you crying? Lucy?"
"Oh John, I have waited so long to hear those words come out of your mouth. Towards me that is. I want to be with you to and I want the whole world to know who I love. So I'll ask for a transfer." Carter smiled stood up, lifted Lucy up and spun her around in the air. He than lowered her, brought her face to his and kisses the way he had always fantised about doing. He was even more happy when she kissed him back and put her arms around his neck and held on tight.
This was the beginning of a wonderful relationship. Hopefully one that he could be apart of for the rest of his life. He wanted her to his and only his. He wanted to have children with her and too grow old with her. This once his new fantasy. Hopefully people can have more than one fantasy come true in a lifetime. But who knows?
THE END
