Chapter 4: not attached, just patient

Disclaimer: 1st chappie..don't own don't create, just fiction please! ;D

Someone makes a special intro.*finally**

After that moment in the hospital with Perry and the now newly named Cameron, some special bond occurred between the two. They became inseparable.

Whenever Cox felt like he was about to rip apart Kelso or yell at some poor unsuspecting newbie, he would run to Cameron's room and let himself out. He would tell her what made him so angry, and it was really funny sometimes to her. He would sometimes run in flustered and confused in a mad rage, throwing his arms around and pacing back and forth.

She would just sit on the edge of the bed, her legs hanging off the side, silently listening to him with patient eyes. And, when he was finished, he was usually panting. Then she would think very hard about the situation, and look up at him and smile.

Cameron would then reply, "Well, I am very glad you finally got that out of your system doctor... I think we should schedule our next appointment in ....Oh.....let's just say.in about, the next minutes 15 or so?"

They had a good laugh; Perry would feel as if though a huge burden had just been lifted from his toned chest. He usually sat back and just watched her giggle. She was so sweet. He couldn't' imagine it. She actually LIKED to listen to him!

And the best part was she never even told him what was wrong with him, like his shrink did. She showed him what was right about himself.

She revealed to him something that was definitely missing from his life. Care: compassion, humor, dependence, and definitely trust. For some reason Perry, wasn't afraid to depend on this girl, Cameron. He knew that he could trust her not to judge him. And he felt so relieved whenever he came to her. But, he not only needed her, she really depended on his support as well.

Whenever Cameron would feel alone, outcaste, depressed that no one wanted to play with her or entertain her because they were all to busy with their lives and families, she would get Carla to page him.

Then he'd run in and listen to her sob and want love and attention. Then he'd hug her to make her feel better. It was a great break from both of their shattered lives. But, soon, after a full 3 days had passed of this, Carla began to notice something a bit....different about Cox. She wasn't sure what, so she shrugged it off and went to her off to her patient.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ Perry just laughed at her small childish tactics to cheer him up. He didn't want to show it to her too much, but she really did help him relax. He noticed a strange feeling when she was trying to cure him of his anger.

He didn't know what it was he felt, but he felt sort of.....well maybe connected to her. In some odd way. Of course, these things just didn't happen for any reason.

But, no matter what happened, he could not and would not become attached to her. She just helped him remember the innocence and bravery of children's love. Or, just innocence and bravery.

He shook his head. No, he couldn't become attached to her. It would just make more problems and stress. He knew he would eventually have to let go. Let her go, Cameron. He sighed. This would be a difficult choice.

He had to take a new view to this now. She was no longer Cameron. She was just a patient. Like all the others who came to this pitiful place of disease and cure. He gave Cam (as her nickname was now) a quick embrace and left to his other patients. He met Carla on the way to Mr. Reynolds.

"Hey, Carla, do you think you'd have enough time to help me oh so quick like?" He quirked her. She smiled at him.

"Of course doctor," She trailed him as he led the way to room #443. As she followed, a silence was not far behind as so was the silence breaker. "You seem to be in a much better mood today Dr. Cox." She complemented. He nodded and kept the pace up. She scrunched her face up and tried again in a sweet voice.

"You know, you seem to be in a very good mood after you've seen Cameron. She somehow just appears to have a good way with people...or just you." Cox began to slow down and eventually halted. He turned to her a look of "just tell me" on his face.

She shrugged and spoke, "All I am saying is that you two may be more than just patient and doctor, Cox. You have to remember, that even though you do feel sorry for her, you can't get too close..you know? You'd risk way to much."

Cox was silent. After a moment's silence he spoke, "I am not growing to her Carla. I anything she's grown on me! So don't worry, she's just a child. She just needs someone now to depend upon. That's all she is to me now. Patient."

Carla nodded and passed him by and hissed, "Don't you mean she's grown on you?"

Cox's jaw dropped open at the mistake he had just said. He rubbed his temples tiredly. He had to stop this, this interaction between he and Came....his patient. It didn't mean that he would stop speaking to her; it just meant that......he'd have to stop spending so much time for her.

Lowering his arms he searched around the hospital in all the madness it possessed. He sighed and stared at his vibrating beeper. It was Cameron.

Cox wanted to go to her so badly, but Carla was already in Reynolds's room and he was really behind schedule. He'd have to send someone he relied on. So instead he sent his trusty newbie. And his name started with a capitalized "J".

Janet.

When J.D. entered Cameron's room, she seemed surprised at a new face. J.D. smiled at her, and decided that the awkward silence had to end. So, he tried to end it in a most, J.D. sort of way.

"So...how's it going Mrs. Diaz?" He said cheerfully. She replied with an indifferent look.

"What?"

J.D. began to stutter and mutter and splutter! (Okay so I was on a rhyming roll..go sue a troll! Jk)

"You know, cuz your name is Cameron and Cox told me that you got the idea from Cameron Diaz and I thought that you might need some help because...," and J.D. babbled on and on as though he were mimicking Elliot.

Cameron put her hand up.

He stopped immediately. She lowered her palm, and questioned with a smirk.

"Okay, now tell me the REAL reason why you're here and he's not."

"Cox? Oh, he's been really busy so he sent me!"

"Why?"

"Because he said I am his little bitch and I have girly names....," he paused as he put on his "I'm thinking" face. "Plus I'm free,"

Cameron giggled under her breath, and decided to use a little lingo she had picked up from Perry.

"Okay, here's the dealio Fido," She began, ignoring his puzzled expression, "I don't' care what Mr. Busy doctor is doing right now, only that I really need to speak with him. So stop trying to cheer me up, and go fetch him like a good puppy, okay?" She crossed her arms and looked him up. "Or do you need to be house broken?"

J.D. simply nodded and left.

"Little brat," he said under his breath. He passed a busied Laverne, "Hey Fido."

J.D. turned to give the cocky nurse a dirty look, witch resulted in Laverne giving him the "oh no you just did not try to give me a dirty look boy" face. J.D. lost and whimpered in defeat. He could hear a faint giggling in the background.
