I like Dr. Stark, okay... He seems like a nice guy. I'm one of the few people that actually support Stark & Kepner. From 7x17, he told April how he really felt, "I wanted to be more than your friend." I felt so bad for the guy, didn't you?

Well I'm not that great of a writer. This is my first fan fic so... be nice (?) :)

FROM HERE TO ETERNITY

1.

That moment kept replaying in his head like a broken record. "… I just think of you more as a friend. Friends, you know, we're friends." That is one of the daunting things a woman could ever say to a man. As he was driving home that night, Robert tried to drown out that thought by playing the radio; but much to his amazement, James Taylor's song, Smiling Face began to play. He immediately turned it off and let out a disgruntled sigh. "I took a chance, now look at me," he said to himself.

When he got home, he went straight to his office and put down his briefcase. Making his way to the kitchen, he could hear nothing, but the sound of his footsteps as they hit the hard wood floor. Silence, that's what he is greeted with every night when he comes home from work. With a glass of red wine in hand, he was going to watch "From Here to Eternity," like they planned; but instead, he ended up looking through several photo albums. Reminiscing at the time when he had Judy, his wife for five years, he couldn't help but cry at the thought of what could have been. Two years ago, if only he took off for that day and went furniture shopping with her for their soon-to-be son, he wouldn't be by himself tonight. After flipping through memory lane and thinking about the possibilities, he went to bed, hoping for a better day.
