Review Shout Out Corner:
Can I say how freaking awesome you guys are. So far, I have recieved 58 reviews for this story and for chapter 6 alone I got 12. I love every single one of them and I want to thank everyone who took five seconds to review it. They are like animal crackers on a winter morning. Thanks a billion.
canyonlands girl: It was good to see that I wasn't predictable with who was going to be targeted. I wish I could come up with another 10 chapters but I don't think that I could if I tried. Don't worry though, I won't disappoint you with the ending.
psychotic KAT: Sorry, I used Elliot. I just thought that she would be the perfect victim for the stalker to target. Thanks for the review.
Kieko Rose: Thanks. It is great when people tell me how much they love my story. It's just awesome.
Personal.Vendetta: Sunday is finally here so the next chapter should satisfy you for the time being.
Star Future: By the time I am finished with this story, I am going to be the queen of Cliffhangers. At least that is what my goal is. And no hint at to who the stalker is, you will find out soon enough.
Alice: Slash can be awesome at times. Thanks for the review.
jenny 6: I love that you love the story but I can't tell you who the stalker is. If I tell you I will have to kill you. J/k
babe300: Who doesn't love JDA. This had to be my favorite chapter so far because I liked how J.D broke down at the thought of his friends getting hurt because of him. Thanks.
XAirAngelX: Can you please refrain from killing him just yet. I still need him to finish playing his role in my story. But I promise as soon as this story is over, you can do whatever you want to him.
Beloved: Thanks. I am trying very hard to keep this story afloat and I have to tell you it's not that hard when you have a demented mind.
Kuro Kasumi Doragon: See you don't have to like the slash part but there are other parts that you can enjoy. Like the action scenes. Thanks for coming back to me, I mean the story.
snow887: Oh yes Perry is going to do whatever he can to keep J.D safe. He really cares about him
Now on to Chapter 7
Chapter 7
J.D's eyes fluttered opened as he tried to remember where he was. Shifting them to the right, he saw that he was attached to a heart monitor and IV bag. Looking to the left, he saw a weary looking Perry sitting beside his bed holding his hand. Wiggling his fingers to get the older doctors attention, he smiled slightly when the man looked up at him.
"Hey" he whispered.
"Hey there Jacqueline"
"What are you doing here."
"I'm was worried about you. What can I say, I'm a softie"
"If you keep this up, we won't be able to keep this a secret from everyone anymore." J.D chuckled as he sat up in the bed.
"That's the last thing on my mind right now"
"Oh yeah, what's the first"
"You"
"Oh" J.D smiled but it soon turned into a frown when he remember what happened that put him in the hospital. "Where's Elliot, is she okay" he asked hysterically trying to get out of the bed.
"Barbie's fine" pulling J.D back down on the bed, not letting him get back up. "She suffered some minor head trauma, banged her head a little. She got a spilt lip and some bruised ribs but other than that she's fine."
"It's all my fault"
"J.D, how was this your fault. You weren't the jackass driving like a maniac."
"It is my fault because it was them"
"Who"
"Who do you think." J.D snapped but quickly calm down when he saw the hurt flash in Perry's eyes. "After the car ran us off the road, they called. They called to tell me that this was just a warning and to stay away from Elliot."
"J.D"
"They mean business Perry. He or she, who ever they are have proved that they will have no problem killing anyone that I come in contact with. Anyone that I care about are in danger."
"No they won't because the police will find them."
"The police, are you serious. The police haven't even been able to tell me if it's a guy or a crazy ex-girlfriend. I am going to have to do this by myself.
"Are you crazy Cynthia, you can't go after this lunatic by yourself. You will get yourself killed.
"Better you than me" letting go of Perry's hand. "You have to stay away from me"
"Wait-what"
"You have to stay away from me" firmly replying as he got up from his bed. "If this person does this to Elliot because they think that I am involved with her, just think about what could happen if they find out about you."
"I can take care of myself" Perry growled with a hint of anger in his voice. How dare Newbie try to protect him. He was Perry Cox dammit, the best damn doctor in this dump, no one placed fear in his heart and here J.D was trying to protect him. "I don't need protection, especially from you."
"Listen to me and stop with this macho act" J.D snapped. "Don't you realize how I would feel if they hurt you. I wouldn't be able to live with myself at all. And let's not forget about your son Jack. You didn't forget about him did you. Do you want him to grow up without a father because I can tell you from experience that sucks, it really does."
"J.D"
"Don't J.D me, I mean it. We cannot be together."
"Wait a minute. You can't decided we are over by yourself. This is a monarch relationship, it isn't over until we both decide it is over.."
"And this isn't a democracy relationship either. Why does it matter because technically we aren't even in a real relationship. You are still with Jordan or have you forgotten about that." J.D stated as he walked over to the window. Deep down he knew that he didn't want to end things but there was nothing else that he could do. He had to keep the man that he loved safe from the danger that was envoking their lives. "As the mistress, I can end this relationship anytime that I want."
"A mistress is a woman"
"Well then mistror"
"Is that even a word."
"Dammit" hissing the cuss word as it flew from his lips. "I don't the masculine form alright but it doesn't matter. We're over."
"No we're not. You aren't going to end this because you want to keep me safe. There isn't a chance in hell that that is going to happen."
"Why are you being like this, why are you even fighting with me about this. Can't you just do what I ask."
"I'm not leaving you." Perry stated he sat up from the chair and walked over to the door. He didn't want to keep fighting with the kid about this but he had always told people that fighting for what you believe in was always the right thing to do. "We will get through this together.
"No we can't. I can't let you get hurt because of me" tears flowing steadily from his eyes. How could he live with himself if more of his friends got hurt. They had already gotten Elliot; who was next Turk, Carla. "I love you too much for that"
At the sound of the word, Perry did an 180 degree turn and stared J.D right in his face. J.D's face burned a right red as the realization hit him of what he had just said. Did he love him, really love him. Before it was just like, a simple attraction from one person to another. Two people who shared feeling for each other but now it was different. J.D said the L word and it wasn't associated with the lesbian show on Showtime. How was he supposed to respond to that, because at the moment he was lost for words.
"You…love me" he finally managed to spit out looking J.D straight into his eyes.
"I can't believe I said that" muttering and closing his eyes as he turned away, still letting the tears fall loosely from his eyes. He hadn't meant to say that, it just slipped. He was known for spitting out things when he was in a moment. It was true, he was in love with Perry but he hadn't planned on letting him know how he truly felt for a long time. Now he couldn't back out of but he knew that he didn't want to. "Yeah, I did. I didn't mean to say it-it just slipped and…"
"So you didn't mean it"
"Well" J.D stuttered as he turned back around. "I guess I did…but I know it is too soon to say something like that but-yes, yes I did."
"…Um, wow. I really don't know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything because we can't happen. It's too dangerous."
Perry thought for a second and felt fear in his heart. He knew that he was scared of J.D being in love with him but he was scared of J.D not wanting him. "J.D I don't know if this is the right time to tell you this but I-"
"J.D" a voice screamed from the doorway.
Both Perry and J.D turned around shocked and saw Elliot in a wheelchair rolling into the room. J.D eyes filled with sorrow when he saw Elliot's head wrapped in bandages and the bruises and scratches all over on her face. Despite everything, she had a huge smile on her face when she saw that her friend was okay.
"Elliot, what are you doing in here"
"Oh my God are you alright" Elliot screamed as she hopped out of the wheelchair and limped over to J.D and pulled him into a hug. Carla had told her that J.D was alright but she couldn't be sure until she saw him for herself. "I was so worried about you"
"Me" J.D sniffed as he held onto Elliot closely. "I am the one who should be worried about you. You shouldn't be in here, let alone out of bed."
"I had to see you and make that you were okay." she whispered. "I don't remember much about the accident but I knew I just had to see you.
"Elliot about the accident"
"What about it"
"The accident it was…um…my fault"
"How can you say that. You weren't driving the car that hit me, so how can it be your fault"
"Because Elliot" pulling away from her and facing his face towards the window. "It wasn't an accident"
"What do you mean" Elliot said as she grabbed his chin and made his eyes look into hers.
"I mean…the accident was no accident. The person that rammed into us was the one that has been threatening me. He was behind us and he was the one that ran us off the road."
By the time that he had finished talking tears were flooding his eyes. How could he face his best friend knowing that she was injured because of him. He half expected Elliot to push him away from her and run out of the room, but the response he go was much different. Instead of running away, she just pulled him closer to her and kissed his cheek.
"Why are you still here"
"Why wouldn't I be"
"Because, you got hurt because of me" J.D cried as he jerked away from her. How could she be so forgiving after what he had done. "It's all my fault and you should hate me right now. If I were you I would hate me, I know I would."
"J.D listen to me" Elliot replied as she grabbed J.D's hands. She would not let him take the blame for some crazy psycho path. This lunatic had already threaten his life and she wasn't about to let them take away his sanity. "This accident was not you fault. You didn't ask for this nor do you want this and I will not let you take the blame for it. You are my best friend and I am going to be there for you no matter what. You understand"
"But it's too dangerous, you could get hurt even worse because of me."
"Then that is a risk that I am willing to take."
"Elliot"
"I've made you my mind" she said as she wiped the tears from his eyes. She kissed his cheek again and pulled him into another hug. J.D felt relieved that even after everything that had happened his friends were still going to be there for him. He didn't know how long he stayed in the hug but it was interrupted by another presence entering the room.
"Elliot honey"
J.D and Elliot broke away from hug and turned around to see Elliot's mom and dad in the door way. Elliot's mom instantly grabbed her and pulled her into a hug while her dad ran his fingers through her hair.
"Mom, dad. What are you two doing here." shocked that her parents actually showed up when they heard what had happened.
"Elliot sweetheart, the hospital called and told us that you were in an accident. What did you expect us not to show up."
"Well"
"Thank God you are alright" her mother smiled as she let her go.
"Yes mom I am"
"Are you sure you don't need any surgery."
"No, I don't"
"Do you think that you could get some, facial surgery that is. I mean since you're already here"
"Mother" Elliot shrieked as she rolled her eyes at her mother. She was glad that her parents seemed worried about her but she wish her mother wouldn't say things like that. It only made her feel worse about herself.
"Okay, I was just making a suggestion. You know some cheek implants, eyebrow lift, lip injections the works."
"Mother for the lat time, I don't need any cosmetic surgery."
"Fine" sighing and hugging Elliot again. "I'm still glad that you're okay. How about I get you some of your favorite ice-cream; chunky monkey, cookies and cream, vanilla swirl, and chocolate-chip cookie dough."
"Thanks mom" Elliot smiled as her mother walked out of the door. She looked over at her father and took the time to pull her into a hug. She had never really been hugged by her father before so she wanted to enjoy the moment as long as she could.
"Don't worry about it your mother Elliot. Rambling on and on about your looks was the only way she could she could mask her fear.
"I know dad"
"We were really scared. You have no idea how frantic we were when we heard that you were in an accident. It had to be one of the worst moments of my life.
"Really"
"Really and don't worry, we are going to find the drunk frat boy that did this to you and we are going to make sure that he never sees the outside of the jail cell again" her dad replied as he took out his cell phone.
J.D's heart stopped in the middle of his chest. How could he tell Elliot's father that the only reason that his daughter was injured was because of him. He was ready to kill the person, would he decide to take his anger out on him. He knew he couldn't keep it a secret because the truth would come out when the police came. Taking a deep breath and walking over to Elliot and her dad, he opened his mouth to speak.
"Sir, if I may"
"Yes boy, who are you"
"Dad you remember my friend J.D. I told you about him remember"
"Um yes, I think you did. Isn't he the doctor that you are always competing against and the same young man that broke your heart; twice."
"Yes sir, that would be me." he stuttered as he walked away from the man, thinking that being close to the man would be a mistake. How would he like it if he came face to face with a man that broke his child's heart. "And if it makes you feel any better, it was not something that I am proud of."
"It doesn't" he replied sternly, never breaking the eye contact that he had with J.D. "But please, what were you about to say."
"I wanted to say that you won't find the person that did this to us."
"And why is that"
"Because" sighing before he spoke the last words. "The person who did this was trying to punish me. It's my fault that she was in the accident."
"Your fault" the man hissed at J.D, taking a step closer to him. He would have made it too if it had not been for a angry looking Dr. Cox who was silently listening in the room. He grabbed Elliot's father by the wrist and prevented him from trying to attack J.D. J.D's eyes widen at the thought of actually being blamed physically for the accident. Luckily, Perry was there to make sure nothing like that happened.
"Look…I'm sorry. I did-didn't mean for this to happen…to her." stuttering and taking another step backwards before hitting the bed.
"You're sorry" her father spat. "My daughter could have been killed because of you and all you have to say is you're sorry."
"Please"
"I hope you have a great lawyer because when I am done you won't be allowed into the Doctors Without Borders program you incompetent jackass."
"I"
"Stay away from her. If you come within fifty feet of her, I will have the cops arrest you, you know good bast-"
"Dad stop it" Elliot finally yelled, taking her place beside J.D and grabbing his hands.
"Honey"
"No. How dare you come in here and talk to my friend this way."
"How can you call him a friend after what he did for you"
"Because I realize that he made a mistake and he is entitled to make those. Plus no matter what, J.D has always been there for me when I needed him to be which is the least I can say about you."
"Elliot, don't you dare talk to me that way. I am your father."
"My father" Elliot scoffed. "This is coming from the man who would talk down to me and make me feel like I was worthless. The father who cut me off just because I didn't want to practice in the field that you wanted me too. That is not the way a father treats his daughter at all. You will be my father when you start acting like when. Until then you treat my friends with respect or I want nothing else to do with you." She couldn't believe that he was actually trying to play the father role after all these years. He couldn't walk into her life and demand that she stay away from J.D, not when he needed her the most. She wouldn't allow that, no matter what he said.
"I only want what's best for you."
"What's best for me is to stay close to someone who has always been there for me since day one." Elliot replied, not looking her father in his eyes and not letting go of J.D's hand.
"Fine" replied as he stared at her in shock. He realized that no matter what he said or did, she was not going to change her mind. Sighing and jerking away from Dr. Cox, he stomped out of the room; not once looking back at Elliot. Elliot smiled and looked over at J.D, who too, had a smile on his face. She knew that he was happy that she had chose him over her father, even after all the things that he had done to her.
"You didn't have to do that you know" J.D smirked as he began to swing their hands back and forth, proud that she had stood up for him; against her father no less.
"I know" smiling and sitting them down on the bed. "But it needed to be said. You are my best friend and nothing will come between us, not even my father."
"But he's your dad."
"Just because he is my dad, doesn't mean that he can run my life. It needed to be said."
"Thanks" J.D smiled as he sat down beside her.
"What are friends for, which reminds me"
J.D stared at Elliot as she got up from the bed and walked over to Dr. Cox. She stared him right in the face and cocked her right eyebrow towards the ceiling.
"Okay Dr. Cox, listen and listen good. I don't know what J.D sees in you and frankly, I really don't care. What I do know is that J.D is my best friend and he is a good person. What I do care about is his well-being and him not getting hurt."
"What are you talking about" Perry growled.
"I'm not finished." growling in return and still not breaking the stare. "Now like I was saying, J.D is my best friend and I never want to see him hurt so consider this a warning. You hurt him and I will hurt you so bad that God himself won't be able to recognize your mangled body once I am done. Got that"
"How did you know" asked a wide eyed J.D.
"Please" she laughed. "It was bound to happen sooner or later. Plus I could tell the night that Turk got poisoned. You had the "I was just making out with an unexpected person" look on your face."
"We spend way to much time together" J.D muttered as he walked over to Perry, grabbing his hand. It felt good that all his friends supported him with his decision. He knew that he would have never gone through with it if they didn't. "So you really okay with it."
"J.D, I want you to be happy and if Dr. Cox makes you happy then I am all for it. But the minute he steps out of line-"
"I got it" Perry stated throwing his hands into the air. "I hurt him, I die but Barbie I'm not going to hurt him. I couldn't if I tried because-because I love him to much for that."
"What" both residents turned around to look at each and then back at Perry. Both mouths were completely open and two pairs of eyes were wide with shock. Had they actually heard the cold hearted bastard known as Dr. Perry Cox admit in front of people that he was in love. In love with J.D no less. Why the mere thought of it was unimaginable and neither could believe it.
"You love me"
"You love him"
"Yes Alicia-Barbie, I love him. I wanted to say it earlier before Barbie here interrupted us with her obsessive mood killers." Perry smiled as he placed his hands around J.D's waist and pulled him closer. "I'm really in love with the gal and there is nothing I can do about it."
"Really" J.D grinned as he turned to face Perry. He felt like a kid at Christmas, knowing that the man that he was in love, had been in love with for a long time, was actually admitting that he felt the same way. The words seeped into J.D's skin and he compared it to milk chocolate melting in his on the tip of his tongue. He was enjoying the hell out of it and wanted to savor every minute of it
"Really" he replied as he pulled J.D into a kiss. Elliot stood there not knowing what to do and feeling embarrassed that she was watching them play tonsil hockey.
"I'm just go-ing to go now. You two keep doing what you're doing and I'm going to-yeah" she stuttered as she walked out of the room and closing the door behind her, letting the two men enjoy their privacy.
"Wow, I still can't believe you said that" a breathless J.D replied after him and Perry broke the kiss.
"I can't believe I said it either but it doesn't make it any less true."
"Now you just have to tell Jordan about us and I have to get the police to catch this stalker and our life will be somewhat normal again.
"Don't worry J.D" Perry smiled taking J.D's hands into his. "I won't let anything happen to you, I promise."
"Don't make promises that you can't keep."
"I never do" he replied as he pulled J.D into yet another kiss.
Pacing
That was all I had been doing these past couple of weeks. Pacing. Pacing and waiting. That was all that had been going on since this all started. I mean what can I say, I'm in love with the handsome doctor. It feels like yesterday since we met even though it was a lifetime ago. Amazing how it all started with just a simple attraction. Something words that he said that sparked the interest. He had showed kindness, concern to me. Something that no one ever showed, at least not to me anyway. No, everyone looked down on me, pitied me even. Eyes always filled with fake concern, sympathy but not his. Johnathan's eyes were always shone like a light in a dark tunnel. Always shining like he was trying to find your soul.
Pacing
I shake my head as I laugh at the found memories of him and I together, trying to figure out when it all happened. When my attraction for him became an obsession and he was all that I thought about. Maybe it was because Johnathan would always notice if there was something wrong me. How he always wanted to help me with my problems when no one else seemed to give a damn. Or maybe it was his eyes. His eyes were like daggers, beautiful diamond daggers, that pierced right through to my heart.
That pale skin that surrounds his beautiful body. It seemed so delicate, so innocent waiting to be kissed and touched all over. It could always very well be his smile. That radiant smile that lit the room whenever he entered, making everyone around feel just a little bit better about their life, my life. And yet, I seem to be the only one who noticed all these beautiful things about him and not once has he noticed me.
Pacing
I stop and pick up my bottle. I open the top and down about three pills, without water. I don't need it, I always swallow my pills dry. Still I hate taking these damn pills but I need to, at least that's what the doctor keeps telling me. They think that they will make me better but I know that it won't. I walk over to the kitchen and find the only thing that makes me feel better. The only that makes me feel better is when I feel a clean knife ripping through my skin, the taste of my own blood against my lips. Some find it crazy but not me, I seem to find it rather soothing. Lately I have been cutting myself for each day that Johnathan isn't by my side, kind of like tally marks.
Pacing.
I press the blade to my skin and feel instantly relaxed, like I haven't done it in days. I also like to walk whenever I do this, makes the blood flow faster. The next moments become a blur as my arm is suddenly covered in crimson liquid. I place my mouth over the wound and suck all the blood that I can inside my mouth. It's instantly makes me wonder what Johnathan's blood taste like. I smile as I realize it won't be long until I find out.
Pacing
I throw the knife onto the floor and pick up the bottle from the table. It wasn't easy getting what I needed to prepare for the arrival of Johnathan but I still found a way to get it. I through the bottle in the bag and wonder how much of a fight Johnathan will put up for when I take him. He appears to be a weakling but looks can be very deceiving. I smile when I realize that it really doesn't matter though because this will all be over soon. So soon, in fact tonight. Tonight is when I will come out of the shadows and show Johnathan who his real love is. And it will be a fucking cold day in hell before I let him go again.
There you have it folks, chapter seven. I actually thought that I had two chapters left in the story but as I was finishing it up, I realized that I only have one. So Wed will be the next time that I post my last and final chapter of this story. Hope you enjoyed the story and review if you did.
