A/N: Second part...JD's POV this time!

Thanks to Bells of Tomorrow for betaing again...you rock!

Don't own 'em still

Honestly, you weren't surprised when it ended. You didn't want it to, but you knew Perry and you knew your luck with relationships.

The problem was that you had already begun to fall in love with him before your relationship even started, so by the time the end came, you had fallen pretty hard.

It was a stupid way to end a relationship too. All you wanted was to talk about his drinking, something you two had fought over the night before. But he blew the talk off, like he had been doing a lot as of late, and you lost it. Everything that had been bothering you lately came out, and pretty soon the two of you were yelling, getting ready to explode. Finally, you left after punching the wall, telling Perry you loved him on your way out. You didn't know if he heard you, and debated for days about whether or not that was for the best.

That night, you showed up at Turk and Carla's in tears. Turk was ready to go fight Perry right then and there, but thankfully, you and Carla talked him out of it. Carla listened to you, and while she never actually said, "I told you so," it was written all over her face.

The next day you went in to work, dreading the face to face encounter. You spent the first half of your shift trading patients with whomever you could and avoiding any and all places you thought Perry might be. Halfway through the day, you finally managed to find the courage to approach the Nurses' Station, where Carla told you he had called in sick. You let out a breath you didn't know you were holding and nodded. She took that to mean it was okay for her to tell you "I told you so" and started with what you considered her mini lecture series entitled, "Here's why you were an idiot, Bambi, and how we told you so beforehand."

Which, granted, they had. But you refused to listen because he was different when he was with you, when things were good. Even when they started to turn bad, he was still different.

Soon enough, the lecture series had guest speakers, like Elliot and Turk. There were also many surprising guests, like Kelso for instance. Jordan was the only one not to start with a lecture, but she looked at you with pity. You didn't know which was worse.

About a week after your breakup, you finally ran into him. You weren't called Newbie or a random girls name; instead it was cold and professional. He called you Dr. Dorian, which was once something desired. You thought it meant respect, but you realized as soon as the words left his mouth - It just meant distance.

And it hurt.

You found out a few days later about his lecture series from Carla and Elliot and told them to stop. Later you realized he was receiving the silent treatment and glares from everyone. While you were touched that your friends would do that, you didn't think it was fair to him either. However, you were glad Turk wasn't talking to Perry at all. It might have led to a fight between the two, which wouldn't have been good. Finally, after hearing Carla telling a nurse to take her time answering Perry's page, you snapped. You told your friends to stop interfering and stop telling the other doctors and nurses to respond slowly to him. Really, they were only harming the patient. They could ignore him if they wanted, you said, but nothing else: No fights, no lectures, no nothing.

Just let him be.

Carla started pressuring you to date again about a week after the break up. At first, you just looked at her like she was crazy (did she really think you would bounce back that quickly?) and told her no. But she kept pushing and you finally caved, just to get her to stop. She took care of all the details and promised this guy was perfect — "He'll never hurt you, Bambi, he's so sweet." You couldn't help but wonder if you would be the one to hurt him.

You agreed to meet your date at the hospital when your shift ended. You knew you shouldn't have cared, but you wondered what Perry would say or do — if he still had any feelings for you left. You got your answer when he walked up to the Nurses' Station while you were meeting your date. You made eye contact, and for a brief moment, thought you saw a hint of jealousy (and maybe even sadness?) But he turned and walked off before you could be sure. You kept watching him, hoping he'd turn back around and say something; anything.

Your date was fine — the guy's name was Adam and you could see yourself falling for him at another point in your life. You liked him, but he was no Perry. The feelings just weren't the same.

During the middle of your date, you made the decision that you were supposed to be with Perry and decided to go talk to him and figure it all out.

Adam could tell your mind was somewhere else, and decided to cut the date short, as well as agreeing to only be friends for a while. Maybe something would develop as the two of you got to know each other, he had said. You agreed, but secretly hoped you would end up back with Perry.

After Adam dropped you off, you hopped onto Sasha and rode over to Perry's apartment. It was still early, and you thought he would be awake. However, after beating on the door for ten straight minutes, you realized he wasn't. So instead, you took a scrap of paper from your pocket and the pen from your bag, managing to scribble a quick note for him. You shoved it under his door, hoping that he'd want to talk it over when he got it.

The next morning, you discovered you left your I-pod in Adam's car, and sent him a text message asking if he could bring it by the hospital when he got the chance. You arrived at Sacred Heart, hopeful and lighter than you had been in the past few weeks. You were chatting with Carla about the date and other various topics when Adam showed up with your I-pod. You smiled and jumped off the counter to meet him. The two of you chatted with Carla for a few minutes before he left, and then you promptly returned to work.

For the rest of the day, you kept trying to talk to Perry, but he seemed to be avoiding you. And the one time you were forced to interact with him, he seemed almost angry by your presence.

Two days later, you heard Perry was transferring. No one was able to give a reason as to why, but everyone agreed that he had talked to Kelso and gotten permission.

Your heart broke even more.

That night, you gave Adam a call to try it again. The two of you met for drinks, and before long, you found yourself telling him everything about Perry and the relationship. He listened, asked questions, and offered advice. Before he left, he told you something that made you decide to go talk to Perry right then and there: "If you feel like you're meant to be with him, you have to take a stand and say something. Things happen, fights occur, but if you two are truly supposed to be with each other, one of you has to make a move to fix it. You have to fight for it."

You headed over to Perry's right after the date, deciding you weren't going to let this be the end. You barely knocked on the door before he answered. I miss you, you said. He just looked at you, and you realized he needed to hear more. You pushed past him, into the apartment, and told him you weren't leaving until the two of you were fixed.

And you didn't.

The two of you stayed up all night, talking and trying to figure out solutions to the problems that had been the downfall of your relationship to begin with. There were fights, but there were also solutions. By the time the sun had risen the next morning, you two were a couple again, and you admitted out loud that you had fallen in love with him. He looked startled, but then the words slipped out of his mouth as well, making an even more shocked look appear on his face.

And by the time the two of you went back to the hospital, you were happy. Perry wasn't going to transfer anymore, and you had your boyfriend back. You knew your friends would have something to say, and would try to discourage the relationship so you wouldn't get hurt again, but you knew that you and Perry weren't going to hurt each other anymore. The two of you were in this together.

Forever.

A/N 2: So, there's a happy ending! Do you guys think I should write it from Cox's perspective or leave it be?
