Had enough
This story is based within the seventh season of scrubs.
It has been a few weeks since the incident in the on-call room between JD and Elliot and JD couldn't take his mind off of it.
"Turk, I can't stop thinking about Elliot." JD told his best friend while they were eating lunch at the hospital.
"Dude, not here, you don't want rumours going around the hospital."
"Fine but where then?"
A few minutes later Turk and JD sat on the roof of the hospital looking out over the city.
"Ok, so there is no way someone can hear us, can you tell me what you think I should do." JD asked but Turk turned to his friend with a look which JD knew was the "bad news" face.
"JD, I know you think you love Elliot now but remember what happened last time. You crashed her and I'm sure you don't want to throw away your rebuild friendship, again!"
JD knew that Turk was right but he still wanted to be with her.
"Man, I told you what I think, so now go and do what you had already planned on doing."
JD gave a hurt look but then turned away to go and do what he had already planned on doing in the first place. He was going to tell her.
Elliot was talking to Carla at the nurses' station on the third floor. JD raised an eyebrow as he walked closer because there seemed to be some commotion and Elliot seemed to be in a great mood for someone who just broke off an engagement.
"Goooood morning ladies. I hope you aren't talking about me, with such excitement." They both looked at him with a dull as if look on their faces.
"Carla can you please check the patient in room 305, I think he might be going septic." JD asked her so he could get some alone time with Elliot.
"Fine. Elliot, we will continue later." And she stormed off.
"What's her problem? Were you talking about something serious?" JD asked Elliot.
"Oh, it's nothing. Did you want to talk to me too?"
"As a matter of fact, I did." JD was just about to mention his undying love for her when Keith walked by.
"Pig whore!" With that two word sentence, Elliot looked to the ground and her happy face disappeared.
JD knew he couldn't say anything now, she was feeling terrible; he would have to be a friend first.
"Hey, chin up. Don't mind him, come on, let's get some coffee." JD wrapped his arm around her shoulder and walked her to Coffee-Bucks.
Elliot had started her day on a high, she had had a great night's sleep and she had a beautiful dream about getting married. There was only one thing that confused her about her dream and that was the person she was getting married to. It was JD. She didn't know what this meant, she tried to feel her feelings but as soon as she thought about JD in that way, she just felt angry about what had happened last time with their relationship. The whole I don't love you incident. She stopped herself before she thought about it too much because she knew she would lash out at JD if she didn't. She just accepted that she had had her first good dream since the break up with Keith.
"How's that new liver treating you Mr Kelvin?" She asked her first patient of the day.
"Not too bad, I kind of miss my old one though, do you keep them?"
"Uhmm." Elliot was trying to think of a way of telling Mr Kelvin that his Liver had been so badly damaged that there was no sense in keeping it because it made people throw up every time they saw it, "No, no we don't, unfortunately."
It was just after lunch now and Elliot finally found Carla.
"Why are you in such a good mood?" Carla asked her best friend.
"No reason."
"Lair," Carla gasped, "You had sex."
"What Carla, no, I just had a dream last night that put me in a good mood and no Carla it wasn't a sex dream." Elliot said quickly before Carla asked.
"So what did you dream about?"
"Getting married."
Carla looked at her still single friend sadly.
"Anyone I know?" But just as Carla asked JD came around the corner and Elliot blushed.
"No, way! You dreamt about marrying JD."
"Shut up Carla, he is getting closer."
"Goooood morning ladies. I hope you aren't talking about me, with such excitement." They both looked at him with a fake as if look on their faces hoping he wouldn't catch on.
"Carla can you please check the patient in room 305, I think he might be going septic." JD asked her.
"Fine. Elliot, we will continue later." And she stormed off.
"What's her problem? Were you talking about something serious?" JD asked Elliot.
"Oh, it's nothing. Did you want to talk to me too?"
"As a matter of fact, I did." JD was just about to start when Keith walked by.
"Pig whore!" With that two word sentence, Elliot looked to the ground and her happy face disappeared.
"Hey, chin up. Don't mind him, come on, let's get some coffee." JD wrapped his arm around her shoulder and walked her to Coffee-Bucks.
"So do you like him again?"
"I don't know Carla; I have been having trouble looking past the broken heart thing." Elliot said as she sat on her couch at home with some tea in hand.
"Come on Elliot, if you are having feelings like this after only a few weeks of breaking off an engagement, then it is worth a shot."
"Me and JD have finally got to a place which I like, we are really close but there is no real commitment. You should have seen him today, comforting me after another one of Keith's insults. He was so sweet, I just don't want to lose that.
"I was struggling so hard not to stare at Elliot while we were having coffee. I tried to just be friendly but I can feel myself slipping. I have to say something soon or I'm going to burst." JD said to Turk as he sat on Turk's couch.
"JD, I have been thinking, and I have changed my mind, you should tell her, she is the only real girl who has been right for you in the past few years, but I have to warn you. You cannot be friends with her anymore. You guys seem to have this sort of relationship where you are either in a crappy relationship or you are recovering from a crappy relationship, and just when you get back to a good spot as friends, one of you falls for the other. And by one of you, I mean you. So I think you should tell her how you feel but if she doesn't feel the same way, you should be done with her. Be civil but there is no going back so you don't end up here again."
"Wow Turk, that was a mouthful." JD looked a little shock at what had just come out of his friends mouth.
But JD knew that Turk was right, this was the finally chance, if it didn't work out this time, he would never try again.
