Sorry it took me so long to update. If you haven't already noticed, this story is all about the drama. There is constant J.Dox drama going on up in here. LOL I hope you don't mind. By the end of the story, J.D will have been in the hospital like a bajillion times. I just like the drama.

Truthfull, the story should be called My Crappy Month or something along those lines. But for those of you who have followed this story from the get-go, I won't change the name and confuse you. That would weigh on my already crappy conscience.

" Wake up. "

No response.

" If you don't wake up in ten seconds, i'm going to spill cold water on your face. "

No response.

" You've forced my hand, Farrah. "

In the next moment, J.D was up off of the couch and shrieking like a bat. Perry chuckled and handed him a towel.

" Why? " J.D begged, his puppy eyes piercing into Perry's soul.

" We have to go the the trauma center today. "

J.D's face fell at the suggestion and he sighed, noticeably uncomfortable with the subject. He plopped down onto the couch.

" I'm not feeling great today. Can we go some other time? " J.D sulked back and closed his eyes, silently begging Perry.

" No, JD, i'm not taking no for an answer. " Perry through a pile of clean clothes onto J.D's lap and motioned to the bathroom. " Jump in the shower and apply your make-up so we can go. " The older man leaned down and placed a gently kiss on J.D's pouty lips. " Come on, kid. "Perry pulled him up by the waist.

" Perry, I- "

" No, i'm no-hot listening to excuses today. " Perry lighly shoved J.D toward the bathroom and walked away. J.D shut the bathroom tightly behind him and made sure the lock was secure. He removed his now wet clothes and grabbed a razor blade out of Perry's medicine cabinet.

Carefully, he made 5 long, scratches on his hip, tears dripping out of his eyes.

" Stupid trauma center. " He thought, " I hate Perry for making me do this. "

The cuts immediatly started to bleed, so he turned the shower nozzle and jumped in, not checking the temperature. It was extremely hot.

" Holy Mother Mary!! DAMMIT!! " he yelled, the pain from the scalding water causing him to go into panic mode. He stepped out of the showertub and slipped on a small puddle that had formed on the floor. He slid on one foot over to the door and landed on the ground, on his back, his head smashing against the bathtub and rendering him unconcious, bloody and burned.

--

" God, Newbie takes long showers. " Perry muttered to himself as he downed his 4th cup of sugary coffee. He hadn't slept much the night before, so the caffine was much needed.

Perry had sat idly next to J.D throughout the night, making sure he was okay and that he didn't try to get up and do anything stupid to himself. The older man didn't sleep a wink.

Now, Perry had to wonder exactly what J.D was doing in the shower for so long. Carrying two large pots in his hands, he walked over to the bathroom door and started banging them together.

" If you think you're going to get out of this by taking the world's longest shower ever, you are sadly mistaken. " Perry waited a brief moment for a response before panic began to set in. He noticed that the air underneath the bathroom door was unusually hot, leading him to believe that J.d was not only taking the world's longest shower, but the hottest one too.

" If you don't answer in the next five seconds, " He yelled over the hum of the shower. " i'm coming in and you will be severly punished."

Perry cringed at his words and immediatly wanted to take them back. He was a doctor, he should known better than to threaten a rape victim with physical punishment.

Perry thought for a moment, then firmly gripped and turned the handle. Locked.

" Shit. JD!! " Perry yelled, his voice was peppered with concern.

He stepped slowly backward, then lunged forward and brought the bottom of his foot to the top of the door handle, using all of his strength to break it. After a few tries, it fell. Perry swung the door open and silently prayed J.D would be standing there, smiling and laughing at Perry's over protectiveness.

He was not.

J.D lay sprawled on the white tile, blood seeping out of 5 scratches on his hip. They were much too oddly placed to be accidental. All of his back and his entire torso had red, pussy burns on it and his head was sporting an impressive concussions.

Perry spent but a moment in shock over what he saw. Then, doctor mode kicked in. He bent down and grabbed JD, wrapped him gently in a towel and snatched his keys off of a counter in his kitchen. He didn't bother calling an ambulance. He could much more easily drive J.D to the hospital. By the time an ambulance got there...

J.D didn't have that long. He was losing blood fast.

--

After J.D was once again administered with an IV, morphine and a bag of blood, Perry and Carla watched him from his room.

" You're an idiot, Perry. " Carla hissed at him, shaking her head furiously in the process.

" I don't know how you can possibly make this my fault, Carla! " Perry yelled back, angry that his friend's tone was so accusatory.

" You should have just stayed away! I-I-I told you this would happen! "

" I love him! " Perry screamed, his hands pulling at his own curly hair. " I want to help him..." the man muttered, clearly defeated.

" Look what your love did to him. He cuts himself! " Carla sneered at him and wiped an angry tear off of her own cheek. " Bambi used to be so happy..."

" Before the rape. He used to be happy before he was raped. I didn't make him unhappy, Carla, so either get it right or fuck off. " Perry spat at her and walked into the room.

" If you hadn't abandoned him- "

" Let it go, you nosy, over-bearing woman! " Cox put his hands up defensively, to keep himself from hitting her and/or getting his BY her.

Carla's mouth hung open in shock and her eyes were so big they bulged from her head. Perry grinned cynically and slammed J.D's hospital door in her face.

" Perry..." J.D coughed from his bed and frowned up at his boyfriend.

" Can you...Can you just do me a favor? Just stop getting hurt. Seriously. "

J.D rolled his eyes and put his hands to his temple. " This headache is a bitch. And how can you blame me for these stupid injuries? "

Perry walked over to the bed and poked J.D hard on his hip. The younger man welped in pain and smacked Perry on the arm. " I found you lying naked on the bathroom floor, Princess. I know everything. "

J.D raised his eyebrows at the other man and sighed. He pressed his morphine button and laid back down on the bed. " Are we adding concussion and burn wounds to the already extensive list of injuries? "

" Yep. " Perry sighed and paced the room. He turned to J.D and glared at him painfully " Why do you cut? I mean, come on Newbie, i'm obviously doing something wrong. "

" You aren't, you're perfect, Perry..."

" No, i'm not, J.D. I know you are saying that because you think if you don't, you'll lose me. Not gonna happen." Perry held back the ever growing frusteration that welled in his throat. " Just tell me what's going on? "

" I feel...lost and-and empty. I try to shake it, but, but... all the memories flood back and..." J.D shook his head and wiped his eyes.

Perry rubbed his shoulder reassuringly and sighed. " It'll get better, in time. But until then, i've got some bad news for you. "

J.D shot his gaze up to Perry's unhappy face and prepared himself for the worst.

" Carla has called the police and told them that I cannot take care of somebody in your condition. They've ordered that you stay in the psyche ward until you can be placed in a more suitable home. "

J.D's mouth dropped and he balled his fists. " I am a 32 year old man, dammit! I can make my own fucking decisions! " he took 3 quick, shallow breaths and let out a frusterated scream. " Where is that bitch? Where is that nosy, self-centured, controlling whore?! " J.D ripped all of the cords off of him and stood up out of his bed. The pain shot up his body, but his bit through it and began walking out of the room. Perry ran to him, but J.D pushed him back and continued walking. " I hate this! Dammit! "

Every head in the hallway turned to stare at J.D. The man looked like he was going to murder somebody. " Where's Carla?! " J.D yelled at the crowd and looked around frantically. All eyes shot in the direction of the woman, who was quietly doing paperwork at her desk at the Nurse's Station.

" Bambi, why are- "

" My name is J.D! Not Bambi! I am a perfectly capable man, I don't need a bitch like you telling me how to live! If you think for even a second that i'm staying away from Perry and living in the fucking psyche ward, you've got another thing coming! " J.D was inches from her face, screaming loudly at the unmoving woman.

" I was just trying to protect you." she answered, barely above a whisper.

" I didn't ask you to protect me, Carla! I want you to leave me alone. " J.D clenched his fist and stormed out of the front door of the hospital.

" I taught him well. " Perry chuckled and wiped a fake tear off of his cheek. I guess that's just what you get, huh? " he smirked and jogged after to find J.D.

--

Perry walked up to his Porsche, only to find J.D sitting in the passenger's seat.

" You going somewhere? "

" I just need to get away... " He stared up at Perry expectantly, then sighed and motioned toward the driver's seat. " You coming or not? "

" You can't just run away when the going gets tough, Lucinda. Heck, if doctors did that, we'd have one Hell of a collection in the morgue. So...how about you get out of the car, and get your ass back in bed. You're in no condition- "

" I'm fine, Perry, i'm perfect... " he looked down at his shoes. " We need to leave before Carla calls the police. " Urgency shone in J.D's eyes and he tapped his foot nervously. " So let's go. "

Perry took a deep breath and stared squarely at J.D. " Okay, obviously i'm not getting through to you, so i'm just gonna lay it all out there. I am not going anywhere. Neither are you. We-, " he motioned back and forth between J.D and himself, " are going back into the hospital and you are going to rest. Then, when you are thinking clearly, we'll talk and you will finally realize that no scary latina woman, or man, or anybody else in the world is going to keep us apart. I say this because I am Perry Cox, and you are mine. You belong to me. I do mean this in the best possible way, I really do, Newbie, but you are just no-hot the most domineering person in the world, and when I say not the most, I mean you are less dominant then a teenage girl. So, I wear the pants in this relationship. And all of the shirts, shoes, boxers and socks even. "

" Get to the point please. I'm a girl, that's all i've picked up on so far. " J.D yawned loudly and grimaced at the now sharpening pain in his side. Perry growled at his indifference and slid into the car with him.

" What I am saying, Fredricka, is that I am the guy and you are, as you just admitted, the girl. In all of the cheesy, Lifetime movies I am sure you've cried over in your lifetime, have you ever seen one where the guy let the girl get taken away from him without a fight? " Perry raised his brow at J.D expectantly.

" I can't remember. The meds are fogging my brain. "

" More so than usual? "

" My brain isn't always foggy. " J.D pouted .

" What do you call those little daydreams of yours? " Perry smirked and held back the chuckle sitting in his throat.

" An imagination. "

" I call them " Precious moments wasted contemplating your own navel." Anyway, as I was saying before you so rudely interrupted, nothing is going to keep us apart. Not without a fight."

" Promise? " J.D's puppy dog eyes glanced at him hopefully and he held his breath, knowing that Perry never went back on a promise.

" Must you be such a girl? "

" Promise or i'm not going back. " J.D stuck his nose in the air.

" Fine, I promise. " Perry rolled his eyes and nudged J.D's shoulder . " Can we please go in now? It's getting cold. "

" Must you be such a girl? " J.D mocked playfully and opened his door. Perry eyed him and shook his head.

" What did I say about girly things, Wendy? "

" I know, I know. " J.D stepped out of the car slowly and tried to walk. Perry grabbed his waist gently and helped him along.

" How're you feeling now? "

" Exhausted..."

" Uncontrollable rage does that to a person. "

" You would know. " They both laughed.

" Yeah I would. "

When the two men walked through the hospital doors, all eyes turned in their direction. Carla's included. Surprisingly though, nobody approached them.

The eyes didn't waver as Perry half carried J.D to his room and laid the almost sleeping man down on his bed.

" Ughyghhg..."

" Huh? "

" Don't leave... " J.D mumbled and gripped harder on Perry's arm.

" I won't. "

Well, that's Chapter 7. I know it wasn't long, but i've been working so hard on my other fics that I just wrote it to get it over with.

The whole point of this chapter was to lead into J.D's emotional recovery.

Just in case you were thinking, " Why the heck did I just spend all that time reading this? There was no point. "

So yah, that was the point.

Anyways, I know it's been awhile between updates. I'm hoping to make the delays shorters.

Okay, i'm done.
