Ch. 2: arrival

J.D. wondered the halls of Sacred Heart Hospital now that his shift was done, he just had to hand in the chart that he had to the nurse's station then he was home free. When he arrived he saw Carla talking to Elliot, they were probably talking about Carla trying to get pregnant. That was all any of his friends seemed to talk about these days was Turk and Carla trying to start their family. And that was okay, J.D. was happy for them and really glad that he had decided to move out, get a place of his own, and give them the space that they needed.

He smiled as he approached them and put his chart on the counter. Carla smiled at him and asked "All done now Bambi?" He nodded his head. "Good go home and get some sleep you look tired."

"Yeah I think I'll go do that. I'll see you guys later okay?"

"See ya buddy."

"Have a goodnight J.D."

He couldn't help but smile at his friends. They obviously cared for him and it was a nice feeling knowing that they were there if he ever needed them. But right now they weren't enough.

He slowly opened the door to his small apartment; he hadn't told anyone where it was yet. It wasn't exactly in the safest part of town but it was all he could find in his price range. When he walked in the room he instantly knew something was off. He tensed when suddenly it hit him, literally.

He looked up from his spot on the floor now to see the petite woman with shoulder length curly brown hair, and brown eyes looking down at him her head cocked to the side. "What are you doin down there Snook?"

"Well I don't know Hatch maybe it has something to do with your fat butt knocking me down." He smiled as she pouted and helped him off the floor.

"I'm not fat."

"Yes you are." She glared at the doctor across from her.

"Well I'm here what did you need Johnny boy?"

"I just wanted you to come and visit me."

"And that's why you sent me a text message saying," she pulled out her cell phone and pulled up a message. "Help you gotta get here as soon as possible it's a matter of life and death and I need you here now?"

"Yup."

"Okay then." Shrugging her shoulders she put her phone back in her pocket. "It's not like I have anything better to do with my time."

"So you still don't have a paying job?"

"Who needs one of those when you're parents are rich and dead?"

"I'm surprised that you still got that money. After all you did runaway when you were sixteen."

"Oh but you forget dear friend that I was not the only one to runaway now was I?"

"Yeah well at least I finished high school before we left."

"Oh look at me my name is J.D. and I got a high school diploma," she mocked him. "Well Mr. Doctor Dude not all of us can be as smart as you and graduate two years early."

"I just worked hard."

"Nerd." He laughed at her response. "You got anything good to eat I'm starved."

"Is food all you ever think about?"

"Mostly."
