Two days have past when doctor Cox had been hospitalized. He had a hard time taking the antibiotics by being stubborn. JD had to shove the pill in his mouth for him to finally swallow it. 'Why is he is he this stubborn? What made him this way for him being such a jerk?' even though JD counts Dr. Cox one of his friends it still leaves the part of the mystery behind his stubbornness. He knew a few things about Cox. Both parents are dead. He knows about Cox not caring that his father died but why is that? Did he not like the parenting he had from his father?

JD looks over at a sleeping Cox in the hospital bed. He seemed comfortable to JD. JD stayed both nights with Dr. Cox waiting for improvements. 'That guy is so stubborn that he decided to let his appendix explode instead of getting himself checked.' He wouldn't be here in a hospital bed now if he had got the appendix checked. Jordan his ex wife went to visit Cox yesterday. JD talked to her in the hallway about why she hadn't notice anything she told me he told her that it was the stomach flu when she found him bent over the toilet bowl. That was yesterday as he thought back at what she said. 'She should have noticed more of his condition then just thinking it's the stomach flu. I knew it was more then the flu.' JD however was waiting for Cox to come clean about his situation but nothing came up about it. He even denied needing help after JD caught the fever that was burning Cox's forehead, 'What is up with you Cox? Not wanting help?' JD decided to take night shift while Dr. Cox is healing so if Cox get distressed JD will be there for him.

Dr. Cox's dream

A 7 year-old Perry Cox was flung into the wall. He could feel a crack in his shoulder. His father was steaming mad infront of him, with a bottle of whiskey in his hand. The other hand had his son's neck so he couldn't move from the wall, "You displeased brat!" he shouts at Perry. His mother was on the floor crying while having his sister Paige in her arms protectively. Yes he was jealous of his sister on those times where his father belted him or beat him up that made his lip bleed or his nose and his mother just stood there and watched while his sister was in her arms and crying in the corner. She didn't stand up for him at all she ones and Cox's father beat her up instead and that was the last time she landed a hand.

Cox was pinned on the wall while his father's hand was around his neck squeezing alittle but not to the point where he can't breathe. "Get off your sorry ass and do the chores!" of course Cox as done already 10 chores today and his father after getting home saw that a few chores wasn't done and he was already a bit drunk while hanging out with his working buddies and without knocking he slams open Cox's door and grabs him by the here, "Come here now boy!" he shouts as he pulls Cox off the chair by the ear. He let go, "Get down stairs and do the rest of your chores!"

"But I already done 10 chores today and now I'm doing my homework. Can't I do the rest tomorrow?"

"Get the chores done or no dinner for you tonight!" he shouts back.

In another part of this bad dream that was his past is this one where his father broke his nose.

He was just upstairs doing his homework when his father slams open his door, "You done it now boy!" he shouts and grabs Cox's hand and flungs him onto his bed. His father pounded his fists into his face. Cox cries for mercy. He kicks his father in the balls and his father slumps on the bed holding his crotch with pain in his eyes as he looks at his son, "how dare you do this to me! do you have no respect at all towards me!" he shouts.

Cox got free of his hold and ran out of his room. That's when the unthinkable happened. His father caught up with him and before Cox could turn to face him his father pushed him down the stairs.

"Dr. Cox? Dr. Cox?"

Cox opens his eyes, sweat dripping from his face.

JD was looking at him, "You OK Dr. Cox? You seemed to be having a nightmare?"

Cox was shocked at JD standing there, 'Does he ever go home?' Cox thought about the dream and looks away from him, "Why are here? It's midnight?"

"I took the night shifts."

Dr. Cox looks over at him JD can tell Cox is frightened by the dream by the he breathed the words out, "Why would you do that?"

"So I can see you recover correctly. I am assigned to be your doctor afterall."

"So you were here the whole time?" Cox says a bit shocked.

"Truth be told I been with you all 3 nights."

Cox puts a hand on his face.

"You want to talk about it, " Cox looks over, "your dream?"

Cox shakes his head, "It happened a long time ago. Not worth talking about now."

JD nods and sits back in his chair and looks over at his cell phone. Dr. Cox looks over, "What are doing?"

"Checking my cellphone for messages."

"While your working an over night shift?"

"The only one I'm taking care of right now is you and since you don't want to talk about the dream I'm bored."

"Well then go home!"

"I can't leave my shift."

"Then use the bunk-bed room then?"

"What if something happens to you while I'm gone? I'm staying."

Cox rubs the bridge of his nose in defeat, "Then just stop talking to me then."

"Alright you should go back to sleep?"

"Don't tell me what to do,' Cox rolls over so his face was facing the wall and back to JD.

"I'm your doctor so yes I can tell you what to do so go to sleep."

Cox didn't say anything and had his eyes closed.

JD looks back at his phone.
