《The Bet (Lesbian Story)》Chapter 24

{Diana Abbott - Adriana Lima}

I couldn't stop thinking about that girl. When she came by my office, a moth ago I was positive I would never see her again. Working at the ER you see a little from everything. She wasn't the first case of abuse I had encountered and for sure she wouldn't be the last.

I knew the drill, they'd come in, get patched up, refuse to testify against whoever did that to them and go back to their abuser. All I could do was give them a card with the information of people that could help and hope for them to come to their senses. Which sadly didn't happen often.

But that girl, that girl was different. The first time I saw her I just couldn't believe. What kind of monster could hurt someone like her? She seemed such a sweet girl, my heart just broke when I saw her that day. And now, my heart was breaking again as I saw her lying motionless on this hospital bed.

"Doctor Abbott?"

"Yes?" I said turning around and facing the young hospital intern, she was holding up my cellphone on her hands.

"I said that you were busy but she insisted on talking to you." She said handing me the cellphone. I breathed and forced myself to smile back at the girl.

"Thank you, you can go back to your duties now." I said before turning and answering the phone.

"Hello?"

"So, did you just forget about me or did you actually choose to ignore my calls?" I rolled my eyes. I hated when she acted like that.

"You know I'm at the hospital. I can't answer you whenever you call." I replied trying to be polite. I didn't get why she was acting like such a bitch lately.

"So? Your work hours are done already, you should have been home hours ago."

"Something came up. I was just getting ready to go home now though." I answered simply.

"Ok, good. See you at home then." She said and hanged up the phone. I rolled my eyes. Great, I was in for something tonight.

I turned back to the girl on the bed. If you overlooked the breathing aid and all the bruises it almost looked like she was sleeping. I just hoped she would wake up soon. I touched her cheek.

"Goodnight Amy. I'll see you tomorrow." I said before exiting the room.

"Katherine? Katherine honey, are you listening to me?" I heard my mom's voice. When did she get to my room? I looked around. Wait, I wasn't in my room. What the hell was I doing in the dinning room? I looked down at my full plate. Oh, right.

"Uh? Yeah, I'm listening." I said still trying to remember when did I get there. I guess my mind wasn't working very well lately.

"Oh yeah, for sure you are." My dad said sarcastically. He was smiling but still deep down I knew he was worried, I had been kinda off the last 2 days.

I still couldn't stop thinking about Amy. She wasn't answering my calls and she hadn't been to school the last two days. That wasn't like her. At first I thought she was just ignoring me, but now... now I wasn't so sure anymore. Something happened I don't know what but it did.

As soon as I turned the knob and opened the door I saw her sitting on the couch reading a book. I sighed. I hoped she would have been asleep already. But well, apparently not. And I knew, that didn't mean anything good.

"So, I guess you finally remembered you have a home. I was starting to wonder if you had forgotten it." She said not really taking her eyes off her book.

"Can we not do this tonight? I worked a 32 hour shift I don't have time to fight, I'm tired."

"Oh, that I know of. You don't have time to fight. As a matter of fact you don't have time to talk or to do anything. You don't have time for me anymore!" I looked down. She wasn't wrong, but what could I do? I was a doctor. I had to work! I saved lives for god's sake!

"I was at the hospital! Is not like I was out with some other girl. I was working." I said starting to get frustrated. Couldn't she understand that?

"Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot that Saint Diana was out saving people! Get over yourself!" She said, or better yet, screamed while getting up.

"I'm not going to stand here and take this from you! I'm going to sleep!"

I said finally getting fed up with her crap. I didn't have to deal with that now.

I went straight to our bedroom. I just needed some rest. I took off my clothes and walked towards my bathroom. What I wanted right now was a good long bath, but I didn't have time. All I could afford right now was a quick shower before finally going to bed.

When I graduated from med school I knew the first few years were going to be hard. Extremely long shifts, not nearly as much money as I deserved, tough decisions, death... and did I mention the unending long shifts?

I turned on the water and let if fall on my back. Trying to relax a little. I closed my eyes trying to forget everything for at least a second. I was under too much stress lately. I just breathed while the water fell down on my body. Seconds became minutes and when I realized it was already time for me to get out.

I slowly turned off the water and got out of the shower. I wrapped a towel around my body and walked towards the room. I laid down on the bed not really bothering to put anything on. I just needed to sleep.

I closed my eyes, but before I could fall asleep I felt the bed tilting and someone lying by my side. I didn't even bother to say anything. She on the other side was the one who spoke.

"I'm sorry. I was acting like a spoiled brat. I know you have to work, and I'm so proud of you." I smiled, my eyes still closed. She wrapped her arms around me and said.

"Let's forget about this fight ok? I love you." I scooted closer and nodded my head. The only thing I could say before falling into a peaceful sleep was.

"I love you too Amber."
