October 11, 2001
John stared at Frank. No....Deb did not just quite.
"Where is she?" he asked calmly.
"She went upstairs...I don't know where to." he said. The Roof, John thought. He quicklyly walked to the elevator and got on. Today was weird enoguh for him with having Susan here. he had had such a big crush on her. Had. The elevators opened and he got off onto the roof.
"Deb?" John called out walking out into the starry night.
"She sold me John." Jing-Mei said softly, "I make one mistake in my new position and she sold me out."
"Deb..." He walked up behind her.
"THey brought up that guy I killed a few years back." Jing-Mei said softly, "I can't believe it."
"But you quit." John said.
"Yeah. i wasnt about to let them win." She said. John sighed running his hands over his face. "I always knew she was capable of stuff like this. I guess I just fooled myself into thinking that she wouldn't do it to me. She offered you the job yet?" John looked at his fiance.
"I'm not sure that I want it." He said softly. She shook her head.
"Yes, you do. You've always wanted it."
"I'll pass if it means you'll stay." John said with a frown, "I need you here."
"You should take it. I don't want to be here anymore. Really, if it's not you, it'd be somebody else, and I'd rather it bet you." Jing-Mei said softly. John bit his lip.
"I think there's still a spot open at Northwestern." He said softly, "I know its far away but-" Jing-Mei started to cry, "Oh Sweetheart."
"Promise me, John, that whatever sacrifice you make for this place, you just make sure it's worth it." She said. JOhn hugged her tightly.
"I don't want to sacrifice us because of this." he said, "I'll drop everything here to make you happy, Deb." Jing-Mei shook her head.
"No...I want you to stay here. I want you to show them how strong you are." She said, "Youre the strongest person I know John. Youve been through so much. i really admire you."
"Deb..."
"Maybe I need a break form medicine again...Mayb eI need a break form it permentaly." She said.
"But you love being a doctor.' he said.
"Sometimes." She said.
"Sometimes my ass." he said sweeping back some of her hair. "You bitch and moan about how wrong all those medical dramas are." John smiled softly. Jing-Mei's lip quivered slightly.
"I jsut need a break from this place. its making me hate being a doctor." She said. John nodded slowly.
"All right. I'll stand by you. I'll be the breadwinner in this realtionship." jing-mei smiled softly and leane dup and kisse dhis lips gently.
"Thank you john." She whispered.
"It's my pleasure." he said softly, "I want you to feel good." jing- Mei nodded slowly.
"I'm going to go home." She said.
"Wait ten minutes and I'll join you.' he said. Jing-mei nodded.
"Okay."
