The next morning we were in hospital. The first person whom I met was Perry.
"Dr. Cox, I need a word with you."
"What do you wanna from me, newbie?"
"Do you know that Santorini's important guy?"
"Judie, what d'ya mean?"
Cox stopped and his sight told about everything and everyone.
"Newbie, I know about what do you wanna say. I should be careful but I'm not careful and you're warning me to be careful, right?"
"You' re right, Coxie!Yahoo!" Shit, he'll kill me!
"If you will say that again, I'll kill you and call Janitor! Understood?"
Yes, Cox! Sure! We came in and saw…
"ELLIOT!"
"BARBIE!"
Elliot was kissing with Santorini. When she heard our voices, she stopped and turned to us.
"Oh, excuse me…"
"Let me guess, Barbie. You came in and than you was trying to talk with that guy…"
"And then you kiss me after Italian phrases. So, let me guess: you would have sex with me if that guys didn't come in?" Elliot, don't cry! Oh, no, Elliot.
"N-no… I must go…"
When she went out, we heard a cry and one name:
"Carla!"
Elliot stopped near a young girl.
"That man is like Cox! After a kiss, which was perfect, he sent me…" Elliot started to cry and the girl only told her:
"Well, he's like that. After making booms he always tries to send someone to the hell. But don't worry, I'll talk with him."
"Oh thanks. I'm Elliot."
"Audrey Ramirez. You can call me Audrey."
"Audrey… Ramirez?" Elliot was in a kind of pause. In a pause she was trying to remember where did she see that girl. And then…
"I'm a fan of you. I…I…"
But, unfortunately to Elliot, Audrey was with us and Santorini.
"Oh my God. I read your book, Audrey. It's… It's "What? Did I say something wrong? They're so cute.
"So, how are Milo and Kida?"
"Well, everything is all right. They asked about you and when knew that you were in a car crash, they said you must be careful."
"I know… Well, let me introduce someone: girl and Dr. Cox."
Girl? GIRL? Oh. She looked at me.
"Are you a girl?"
"No, I'm a man. "
"I don't see."
"Dorian."
"Dorian, nice to meet you."
She said nice to meet you. Yeah, man! She noticed you!
"Maybe we should drink some coffee." You'll do it! You'll do it! She'll be mine soon!
"No, you' re too young for me. "
They laughed. It seemed like they were the best friends forever. Wait, the friendship between man and a woman? It's impossible!
"By the way, Vincenzo, aren't you bored?" asked Audrey.
"No, no, I'm not bored. There's good personal. "
"And there's something else… They wanna come. " Who are they? And why their conversations are so strange?
I had a diner with my friends. In my mind was one thought. About my and Cox's patient Santorini.
"Hey, guys, haven't you thought about that patients could be strange sometimes?"
They looked surprised. Elliot took a book. Oh, "A tale of Atlantis"!
"Carla, it's her book. I wanna an autograph. "
"Elliot, listen, you can ask her to sign a book. "
"Yeah, Elliot, why your book is here?"asked Turk. Maybe he shouldn't ask because Elliot started to say all her life:
"Well, the first time I read that book was in 20 years. And it was great! I… I was crying for 5 hours."
We looked at her.
"What? What's wrong?"
Cox heard us and sat to our table, took a book and then said:
"Barbie, do you believe in fairytale?"
He opened the first page and there was a silence. No, not a storm!Perry, don't start a storm!
"I should read it. Barbie, the book now is mine. I'll return you."
Cox was sitting near Santorini's bed and reading a tale.
"Hey, what're ya readin', huh?" Audrey was with us too. It seemed to me that she wanted to stay all day.
"Well, let me explain. Barbie and Carol read this book which seems to me a foolishness."
Cox gave a book to Santorini and Italian stopped on one of the pages.
"Audrey, weren't they against it?"
Again they?
"And they saw a beautiful city which was laying to their sights. The water was a beautiful adding to this picture. The view of old city which could died from volcano eruption but was saved by the linguist and his brave team. Nobody didn't tell a word because their thoughts were same: perfect.
And this picture gave a start of true love." I'll cry. It...It's happy end!
"Oh, Carol, should i give you a handkerchief?"
What? What again?
"Your face is said to me that you're gonna cry. Poor Carol."
Santorini returned book to Perry and said:
"Dr. Cox, don't be so silly. You look like a child."
Come on, Perry, show him what you can do! Round 1!
"Look, Santorini, I don't wanna argue with ya, but I think that this tale is for old man and children, who believe in Atlantis."
Yeah, let's see the answer.
"You're not a child. You're like 14-15 years old boy, who don't believe that the world is having a form of round."
1-1! The fight is gonna be rude & violent! Wait, wait, Cox! I saw Cox's eyes and understood that Mr. Santorini was right.
" I must go out." Cox, wait for me!
In the hall I saw a scene of argument between Elliot and Kelso.
"Well, doctor Rid, let me explain something. The rules of hospital forbid to kiss or even to flirt with rich man."
"Oh, so let me guess: because you wanna flirt with him?"
" Enough, Dr. Rid. I saw enough flirting man with man."
"Oh, excuse me, I forgot. How is your son gay?"
Kelso looked at her and then answer:
"Dr. Rid, you don't work in Sacred Heart since the next luck in search of new job."
Oh great, Elliot. Dr. Cox, where are you? Dr. Cox?
I didn't find Dr. Cox and understood why. But I couldn't understand why Santorini told truth. So, Dr. Cox, Elliot and Turk went to three different persons and asked one question:
"Why are you doing this?"
And sometime there will be two same answers from Mr. Santorini and Carla, except Kelso:
"Well, you know..." and only Kelso will ask:
"What?"
Dr. Cox was waiting for answer:
"So, why are you doing this? Trying to be honest but rude."
"Well ,you know... You're like me. But we are different. You're a doctor and your parents were doctors..."
"No, my father was alcoholic and every evening he kicked me from one room to another."
" And I lived in a flat with no windows almost and I was elder brother."
" Huh, wait... Aren't you..."
Santorini gave him a newspaper.
"Maybe, you should read article in rubric "famous"."
Cox opened the newspaper and then... He understood one thing:
"You're here because… You wanted to die in a car crash…"
"Yes. You all think that to be rich & famous is cool but remember one thing: the curse of luxury is mass media and a lot of fans."
Cox looked at him:
" And what... What about your girlfriend and that stupid book?"
"It's not your business... It's just a story... A myth..."
"You're hiding something..."
"Yes. This secret we'll keep only between my friends and me."
When Cox returned home, Jordan and Jack slept , he opened a book and read epigraph:
" To my friends Josh, Mole, Vinny, Milo & Kida. Our secret is forever with us."
Cox read the book at one night and then, on the dawn, he closed the book and murmured:
"Oh, shit..."
"Why are you doing this, Carla?" asked Turk. I was listening to them.
"Well, you know, Turk, he's a man... Almost ideal man."
"Woman, your ideal man is me. Not an Italian boy who's talking about bombs."
Oh, Carla, don't look at him like tigress!
"Listen, you don't even know that I'm Dominican!"
"And he knows, right?"
"Yes, he guessed that I'm aren't you also like him? You're talking about JD, with JD every minute! Am I right?"
They look at me. What I have done? I'm not a gay and I'm not like wife to Turk but... Yeah, it would be cool.
"Oh, he don't hear us. So, woman, if you wanna be with ideal guy, stay here!I'll sleep alone at night!" poor Turk. He went away and Carla murmured:
"Well, let it be so."
I worked at night shift at hospital. Well, we don't have so much work at night so I decided to get some rest. Before I went to the rest room, I came in Santorini's chamber. To my surprise, he didn't sleep. He was looking out of window.
"What are you thinking about, Mr. Santorini?"
"Stop calling me "mr. Santorini". Call me Vinny."
Vinny?Vinny the Pooh? Man, wake up!
"Oh, excuse me, Vinny, I was thinking about..."
" Listen, Dorian..."
Dorian? Awww... Yes, yes, yes! We're friends, we're friends!
"... I think you'll be the perfect doctor like Sweet. You love that job, you think that Cox's a teacher. But the best teacher is you. You teach on mistakes, Dorian. "
When he said this, I thought that sometimes man who's famous can think wiser than you. And when I looked at him, I saw a tear on his right cheek.
On the next morning Turk came in a hospital and didn't look at Carla. I was waiting for him in a chamber. When Turk came to us, he turned to Mr. Santorini:
"I must check how are your seams after operation."
Vinny sat on a bed and they looked at me. What? What's wrong?
"Girl, you must get out."
I'M NOT A GIRL!
"Why?"
"JD, and if you'll say "Wow" and… you know what?"
No! You're idiots! Come on, tell them what do you think!
"Ok…"
After an hour, Turk came out and went straight to Carla.
"Hey, babe…"
"What do you wanna again?" he suddenly kissed her. Wow, I must look at the clock. After two minutes of kiss, they smiled and then went to the café.
My shift finished and I went home, I was thinking how one man can change you life. Whoever it was. He can said truth about man who was your teacher; he can reunite a pair. Or he can say that you're only one man in the world who can teach on your mistakes.
But at home I saw a little surprise. There was a woman.
"YOU?"
It was Audrey Ramirez.
