Title: Journey- Over

Summary: It seems like it's all over for Dr Cox and Jordan. And she can't go out with out taking him down first.
Notes: This is set after the final episode of Season One (My Last Day), when Jordan has dropped the bombshell's on everyone after Perry upsets her and tells her to stir it up. Implied slash undertones. Nothing comes to the surface in this one.
Part One in a series of stories.

The door opened.

He knew it would be her.
Because even though it wasn't the usual time she'd turn up to see him he knew she'd come here to gloat.

Being perfectly honest with himself, he knew that if he spoke to Jordan the way he did she would react exactly how she did. She'd do exactly what he wanted her to do because despite what she may think, she was easy to manipulate, at least when you knew her as well as he did.

But he knew when he spoke those words to her, the words that he choose carefully to make sure he crushed her about as much as he could without actually calling her names and acting like a mean jerk, he knew that eventually they'd come back and get him.

She'd decided to share all those secrets she was privy too in front of all the people she could hurt the most with them. Most of the things came back to him in some way. His attraction for Carla, his attempts to get promoted by sucking up to Kelso and his ex-wife sleeping with JD.

And she knew she'd hurt him by saying all those things. As was the way with their relationship, whether dating, married or divorced, if one of them hurt the other, they'd sure as hell make them pay.

In a way, her plans had backfired because there was no great fallout. Things had been awkward for a while but eventually all the bridges had been re-built, at least as well as they were before. When JD was trying to clear the air with everyone, Carla had told Perry he was still in love with Jordan, and he'd lashed out. Maybe the truth hurt a little too much with that one because they'd tried and failed already. Nothing had changed, Perry just wasn't getting regular sex now. In some ways, he knew there would be part of him that would always love Jordan, but there wasn't enough of that man left any more.

He'd seen the look on Jordan's face when she'd seen him at the hospital, she completely blanked him as she breezed past him, purposely looking gorgeous just to rub salt in the wounds. And it had worked. But Carla talked to him. Made him feel better just by changing the subject. And when Jordan had walked past a little later and he and Carla were happily talking, he knew he'd pay for it.

That was why she was here now. She'd come to make sure he was miserable.

He didn't acknowledge her in anyway, just carried on staring at the TV, even though it was switched off. The glass of scotch still loosely gripped in his hand as he rested it on the couch.

"Don't I even get a hello?" She asked.

He looked across at her, moving his eyes only. "I'm changing the locks."

"Really, 'cause it looks like you're sitting on your ass." Jordan mocked.

He looked back at the TV. Just ignore her, he thought to himself.

"I wanted to talk to you." She said. She knew he didn't want her here, but she didn't care about that. She had some things to tell him and she'd make damn sure she told him how she felt before she left. "I noticed you'd made amends with your little friends at the hospital. And I say good for you. We both know they won't last long, but keep the friends with you until you end up driving them away like you do everyone else in your life."

"Oh I get it, it's the goodbye speech, where you try and make me feel like crap. Well guess what, it's not going to happen."

"Really? You wanna bet? Perry, you know better than to doubt me."

He picked up his glass, finished it off and got up to get another for himself. Still constantly ignoring Jordan. "Okay, fine. Well maybe next time your admiring your manly physique, you should ask yourself why you spend so much time in the gym to buff yourself up and who you're doing it for. And you should probably ask yourself why exactly Nurse Carla is oh-so fond of you, 'but not in that way'. And probably the most important thing you can ask yourself is why you purposely sabotaged our relationship when you know that it could have worked if you'd actually tried. I could have gone to anyone for sex, Perry, but I threw you the rope and you hung yourself with it."

"Goodbye Jordan." Perry said.

Without saying another word, Jordan walked to the door and left Perry alone.
Alone, with just her words ringing through his head.
'Who are you doing it for?'

The End
