Oh my God. I can't believe that I'm basically responsible for Mr Turner's death. God, I'm so selfish. The one time I ignore Dr Cox and this happens? I'm a horrible person…
"JD, do you want to stop off for takeout?" Elliot asked JD who had been silent the whole journey.
JD just shook his head.
"Ok, well I hope there's food at your place because I could eat whole Thanksgiving turkey in my state!" Elliot laughed at this but it was as if JD hadn't even heard her.
The rest of the journey was silent.
Elliot parked her car outside the building that JD lived in. She turned to face her boyfriend.
"JD, look at me," JD did so and Elliot continued, "Please don't beat yourself up about this. Even Dr Cox said, there's nothing anyone could've really done. You have to stop blaming yourself for what happened to Mr Turner. Ok?"
JD stayed silent; looking deep into his girlfriend's big, blue eyes. He couldn't feel any worse about himself than he did now…
Once the couple were up in JD's apartment, Elliot went to the kitchen to make some food for them and JD went to get out of his scrubs.
While they waited for the pizzas to cook, JD sat down on the couch and Elliot joined him.
"How can I?" JD suddenly said.
Elliot, who had been stroking JD's hand, looked up and into her boyfriend's big, blue eyes. She knew that he must've felt absolutely awful at this moment in time. She knew him well.
"How can you what?" Elliot asked.
"How can I stop blaming myself for what happened? It's my fault."
"It's not your fault JD. I promise you, Dr Cox wouldn't have said that if it wasn't true."
JD thought about this for a moment before turning to face Elliot. "I-I just feel so guilty…"
Elliot cuddled into her boyfriend, stroking his hair affectionately. "I know you must feel guilty right now, but JD, you know yourself that this is a lesson learnt and that you won't do it again, so in a way it'll do you good in the long haul."
"But right now I feel horrible. I'm a horrible person and a crappy doctor!"
They were interrupted by the oven beeping to tell them that the pizzas were done. Elliot got up, and then turned to face JD. "You're not a crappy doctor, and you're an amazing person. Why do you think I can't keep away from you?" she smiled at him and JD couldn't help but give a small smile in return.
"Thank you. For everything today." JD said to Elliot, and he meant it.
"You're welcome." Elliot replied, smiling. And with that she turned back towards the kitchen to get the pizzas…
