Hello wonderful readers!

Just to let you all know this is my first Scrubs fic! So I'm learning on how to write for the characters. Let me know if you see anyways that could help.

Disclaimer: I don't own Scrubs, or else the writer's guild's strike wouldn't postpone-hold ransom, same difference- the new episodes.

My Wonderful Life

Ch 1:

Christmas Eve and Unwanted Guests

It had been another long day at Sacred Heart, a hideously slow day, which was surprising as it were Christmas Eve. Of course, Perry was not complaining about the fact that he did not have to deal with codes or serious diseases, but it had been long. He was at the point where it didn't feel right any more. Where he wasn't sure why he continued to put himself through the daily torture that Kelso, ring master of the seventh level of hell, assigned him each day. He hated the monkeys he was forced to call coworkers, and- he had to stop himself from grimacing as he thought of the title loosely- doctors and nurses.

There was no way to avoid transferring to a new hospital and finding out that maybe Belzabob wasn't the worst ring master ever, but he didn't want to discover that there were people out there that cared more about the money and less about the patient than Kelso. He knew they were out there, he just never wanted to face them or else he would be forced to rip their stethoscopes from around their necks and insert them so far up their colon that the knife jockeys would have to figure out which entrance would be the fastest method of removal.

The people he worked with, he thought of that as the nicest term for Kelso's monkeys, never let him be. Breaks were nonexistent and Perry tried so hard to keep up the angry asshole image, but when interns and residents came in with questions like: How long does it take an old lady to bleed out? How was he supposed to sit by and let the incompetent staff kill off the patients that had no other place to go and get killed.

Than there was that little group that seemed to always hang out at the nurse's station talking with Nurse Espinosa-er, Nurse Turk. Well, that was still weird calling the only other employee of Sacred Heart he considered to have any level of competence by her married name. The name she took on after marrying the scalpel jockey who had to be dating the annoying resident that was always trying so hard to be called Perry's protegé. Than there was private practice Barbie. Who ever decided to put those four in the hospital with him had a sick sense of humor.

He sighed as he ran a hand over his face, attempting to remove the stress from his face as fast as possible. He walked into his apartment and made a beeline straight to his bottle of scotch. Grabbing it and a clean glass, he found his normal spot on his couch and leaned back ready to watch the results for the hockey game. Hell if he might have settled to watch Scrooged, he did get a kick out of Wild Cat going insane with the rifle.

Knock

knock

Perry grimaced as he looked over his shoulder at the door and shook his head. Placing the glass of the soothing amber liquid on the table, he wandered over to the door. It took him a second before he finally pulled it open, ready to kill whoever stood on the opposite side. Jordan wasn't supposed to be bringing Jack by at any time, and she had finally stopped dropping in for, what she considered, spontaneous sex romps. Of course sex with Satan's daughter was nowhere near as horrible as he claimed, it just never was as filling as he thought it should have been.

The door was open and Perry realized that he'd been standing there for a good three minutes staring at an empty hall. He raised his eyebrow in confusion. Shaking his head he shut the door and locked it before returning to his couch.

"Stupid kids." Perry sighed as he stared at the images flashing across the television screen. Sometimes he just wanted to go to sleep and never wake up again. There was too much going on in the world that made him not want to fight anymore. His sister was fine without him and had long passed the time where she needed her big brother to protect her from a drunken father. Jack was with his mother six days out of seven and he wound up spending seven when Jordan forgot to check Perry's schedule and tried to leave the boy with him on a day he was pulling a double shift.

The only person that seemed to openly need him besides his patients, who could easily be passed onto Newbie, was Newbie. Damn it if the resident wasn't annoying and needy and also one of the best residents he had ever trained in a long time. Not that he would ever tell that to the girl, but still he was glad to say that he had shown the kid everything he knew. But Newbie would survive without him, and Perry knew he was just as disposable as any other doctor in the hospital.

Knock,

knock

Perry groaned as he pulled himself back to his feet. This time he decided to bring the refilled glass with him as he trudged begrudgingly to the door. Whoever was disrupting his time away from hell would quickly regret their decision.

Swinging the doo open, Perry stuck his face out, only to have a fist smash into his stomach and another into the center of his chest. Stumbling back, Perry saw only a blurry figure leaning over him before he collapsed and was engulfed into a world of darkness.

I hope you guys enjoyed. sorry for posting a holiday fic right on the holiday, but the spirits still there.
