My Joy
Hello everybody. This chapter still is pretty clean; the cleanest the story will be.
Now Reviews:
Lycandris: Thank you for the kind review. You will find out what exactly happened when JD passed out in due time.
XAngst-PrincessX: It is okay I once liked JDElliot too but then I kind of got sick of that coupling. Don't worry though I will update the story at least once a week.
Glorfindel the Younger: Thank you for liking my idea of slowly building the angst, all the stories I read everything happened fast and I think it is more fun building the tension up. Okay on to the wonderful grammar that I'm awful at, I'm trying. I'm not perfect and I probably will never good at grammar.
KyoSohmaLuver: I agree they need to add more cute JDCox moments but what can you do. I hope that Elliot and Keith stay together because I actually think that they are adorable together. It is cool that you always wanted to go to Mexico but I don't think you will like the Mexico that is in this story. The story is based off a real event that took place in Mexico last year. I wont give anything away! The JDCox coupling may not happen for a long time, if anything it will happen in the last two chapters of the story. The couple may not happen until the second installment of the story. It just won't work for most of the story because…will you will find out for yourself.
Star Future: Thank you for pointing out about the baby thing. And about my grammar I'm still bad at grammar but I swear I will get better. And the packages…you just have to find out next chapter.
CountToEight: I hope that the story will keep being intriguing. And I love your "What I Couldn't Tell You" fanfic. I hope you continue the story.
ShadowFire24: Thank you. It is nice to know that somebody else thinks that Elliot and JD should be totally over, but has anyone noticed the character change in Elliot, JD, Turk, Carla, and even Dr. Cox from the first season to this season? I found it weird to write some of the characters because the personalities shifted. Oh well. Also has anyone noticed how the show seems to be getting a little gloomier in the last two seasons? I guess they are really getting prepared to end and show and I heard from some people that the ending is not going to be a happy ending, I feel bad to say it but I hope that the series end in a gloomy way. I will just be pissed off if Elliot and JD get back together. Apparently the writers are crossed 50/50 on if JD and Elliot should get back together or not. So cross your fingers that it does not end with them together, or if you like the pairing cross your fingers for them to get back together.
Okay, on to the chapter. Elliot and Keith get married, and someone decides to invite themselves to their marriage.
Chapter 2: Her Wedding
After taking a long hot shower I started to get dressed in my tuxedo but I kept getting distracted by my thoughts. After I was dressed I looked at myself in the mirror trying to determine which would be the best way to do my hair. Finally I decided just to comb my hair back as I sighed at the person in the mirror noticing that I lost Elliot. Then I start to feel older like I immediately associated Elliot with my youth and now that she is getting married I feel lost and for the first time I felt like an adult.
I wondered if Elliot is going to stop hanging around me once she has a husband. But then again…no, Elliot would never stop hanging out with me just because she had gotten married. I mean Turk didn't stop hanging out with me after he got married so why would Elliot. Yes, everything is going to be okay. Life will go on like always. I jump on my bed and flipped open my cell phone planning on calling Turk to ask them if they were ready to go. But I stopped as I noticed I had a couple of missed calls. Actually it was around three hundred and eighty missed calls. Did I miss Turk or Elliot's call? Would they keep calling me three hundred and eighty times? I clicked on the missed calls to look at the number to see if I could recognize the numbers but as I rolled down I realized two things, one: it was the same number, two: I had no idea who the phone number belonged to. I looked puzzled at my phone wondering who would call me all those times.
The first three hundred and seventy-three voice mails were the same, just someone hanging up the phone. After those voice mails the person seemed to either get annoyed or braver for they stayed on the phone longer but all they did was just breath. The last phone call the person spoke but it was in Spanish and my Spanish skills were equivalent to my tolerance to hard drinks. I quickly pocketed my phone as I turned and left my room locking the door, I may not know Spanish but I know one person who would. I got lost in my thoughts again imagining Dr. Cox teaching his son to prank-call and was using my phone number, but does Cox know Spanish? I was so deep in thought that I didn't see a package until I tripped over the package. Immediately I was falling down the stairs, all ten of them. As I landed I kicked another box. I looked down to see a box. I kick it again wondering if I should open it or not but it didn't have my name on the box. Standing up was hard, I know I was going to have some bruises but likely I didn't feel any broken bones. I sigh as I looked at the package up the stairs as I wondered who would leave a package next to a stairway. I walked to Turk's room slowly from the pain and was happy when I reached their hotel room. I knocked on the door smiling when I did not hear any yelling coming from the room, maybe their fight has finally ended.
Turk immediately answered the door and smiled at me as he moved aside to allow me into his hotel room.
"Carla is almost ready; she is just fixing up her hair."
"No problem. We have three hours before the ceremony starts."
"Hey, are you going to be okay with watching Elliot getting married?"
"Why wouldn't I be? I am her friend after all."
"Yes, but we all know how you react when Elliot starts going out with someone. How is it going to be like when she gets married?"
"I will be okay."
"What about when you met her first boyfriend Kevin Thomas?" He asked me. I had to admit, I still remember her first boyfriend. It was the first year of med school and she was going out with the nicest guy, Kevin who spent his time volunteering at hospitals. They were so happy together and I was jealous. So one day when Kevin was visiting his mother I told her that he was sleeping with Jessica Summers, the biggest slut in our medical school. Elliot was so crushed that she broke up with Kevin over the phone and went into self-doubt until I told her I loved her. We went out for a while until she found out about my lie. Then all she wanted was to see Kevin. So I helped her look for her ex-boyfriend and finally I saw him in the graveyard. I still haven't told Elliot, who would want to know that they caused someone to commit suicide?
"I'm fine with it brown-bear. It is time for me to move on and stop wasting my time trying to go out with Elliot."
"That is my Vanilla-bear." Turk says as he punched me playfully in the arm. I jerk from the pain; there will be bruises tomorrow for sure. I just smiled weakly at him, as I once again thought of Kevin Thomas, as I realized that I probably will never be fully over Elliot but I'm just going to have to deal with it. The bathroom door opened and there was Carla wearing a pretty red dress that was knee high and exposed only the right places, her hair in a pretty bun. Carla smiled at Turk and me as she picked up Isabella and headed to the door.
"Are you ready to go?" Turk asked Carla who turned around to stare at her husband in shock.
"Didn't Elliot call you guys? Isabella and I are going with Elliot in one limo and you two will go with Keith in another."
"Oh, when will the limos get here?" I asked her.
"In an hour."
"What do we do until then?
"Do you want to watch some television?"
"All Spanish, I already checked."
"Do you want to talk?"
"About what?"
"Anything?"
"Okay, last night Isabella said Mommy."
"Oh my god, Carla, how cute."
"I know and do you know what Turk did?"
"He smiled and said that it was adorable."
"No, he yelled at me to shut up and go to bed."
"Hey, it is not my fault. It was three O'clock in the morning. I was exhausted."
"So your daughter just said her first word, I thought you would b happy."
"I was happy. In the morning I kept making her say mommy and telling her how cute she was. I swear J.D. you should hear her, she is so adorable."
"Oh yeah…" Carla said as I blocked out the rest of her words. They were once again fighting I quickly grab Isabella from Carla's arms as I took her outside to save her from hearing her parents fight. I watched as this little baby only a year old play with flowers. She looked so innocent. It makes life seem so harsh. I mean here is a happy baby who only knows the good side of life and one day she will have to deal with daily failures and relationships and life. Still I hope that this baby will have the best life that anyone can ever have and she will never deal with rapists, murderers, stalkers, or any other harmful person.
My thoughts became so dark that I was happy when I see two limos pulling up. I call to Carla and Turk who came out of their room without even looking at each other. Carla grabbed Isabella and pulled her into Elliot's limo and the limo drove off. I look over at Turk who I could tell was trying not to cry I pull Turk into a manly hug before I got into the limo, Turk following me.
The drive to the mission was quick. It only took at the most thirty minutes but it seemed to take forever. Turk was moody and Keith kept telling us his honeymoon plans. I ended up staring at the window enjoying the view of the small village and the gorgeous lake blocking out Keith's "I'm going to ride her as if there is no tomorrow." I looked at Turk finding him staring outside too but his face looked upset and worried and that only made me worry about my friend's relationship even more. Could Turk's marriage be close to wrecking?
The mission was large and beautiful. It oversaw the whole village and lake. It was light and large and looked like a church I always thought I would get married at. Keith smiled at me as he walked out of the limo and led us into the church. I sighed as I started heading into the church, Turk following behind me.
The wait for the ceremony to begin was long. Turk sat next to me as Carla sat five rows back with Isabella, I offered Turk to talk about their problem but Turk was not happy about that so instead we sat in silence as we watched Elliot's parents walk into the church and then all of Elliot's friends from outside the hospital. A lot of people were on Keith's side, and I guessed I saw his parents but I was not too sure. Elliot's mother smiled at the people on Keith's side even though she was probably judging my new family-in-law.
Finally the ceremony had begun and out went the best men and then there comes Keith smiling and proud like he has just won a one-million dollar prize and he was going up to get the prize. Then the flower girls came out wearing pretty peach dresses, their long blond hair covered in curls and waves. Then the bridesmaids come out wearing blue dresses that were form fitting until it gets down to the hip and then it puffs out. Their hair was all up in buns and their makeup was very natural. They looked pretty, but they were not as good as Elliot looked when she came out a minute later.
We heard the "hear comes the bride" song first before we saw Elliot. She was breathless. She was wearing a wonderful puffy dress that fit her just perfectly. The top looked like something that came out of the renaissance. The puffy bottom part had sparkles on it that made her look like she was glowing. Her hair was down and curly as her makeup was perfect. She was perfect, she was wonderful, and I noticed I really wanted to stop the wedding and I know it will take all of my strength to keep quiet. Still I had to watch as she passed me with her father as she headed to the alter her face all happy and sparkly.
Everybody watched as her dad pulled her Vail over her head as he hugs her before he heads back to his decorated seat. Elliot smiled at Keith as she stood beside him and the priest started to say a bible entry about love and commitment and blah, blah, blah. Finally he got to the main part of the ceremony.
"Dearly beloved, we are here today…" He begins as Keith turned to look at Elliot better. Elliot had the biggest smile on her face that I have never saw before, maybe she really does love him.
"Do you take Elliot Reid to take as your wife, for sickness and in health for as long as you both live?"
"I do."
"And do you Elliot take Keith to be your husband for in sickness and in health for as long as you both live?"
"Of course. I mean I do"
"Now the bride and groom has their own wedding vows that they will like to read out loud." Elliot and Keith nodded to the priest as they pulled out paper.
"Dear Elliot, I have no idea how I was so lucky to meet someone as beautiful and smart like you. I still have no idea that I was lucky enough to steal your heart. But god, from the first second I met you, you stole my heart. I'm just happy that we are here right now. I'm so happy that you love me enough to agree to marry me. And I swear I will be the kindest, sweetest, and the most faithful husband that anyone can ever meet."
"Now Elliot."
"You take my breath away. I have never met anybody that I feel so comfortable with. Whenever I see you I just can't help but fall in love with you more and more. And I can't imagine ever loving anybody else besides you. And now here we are getting married and I find myself loving the thought of us getting married more and more with each passing second and it also helped that you are taking my last name," she held her laughs when she received none she started getting married and she shrieked the last part of her speech, "Oh god Keith, I love you so much. I don't know what I would do without you."
"Okay, is there anybody who knows any reason why these two should not be married say it not or forever hold your peace." No one raised their hands even if I wanted nothing else but to raise my hand. But Keith seemed like he really loved her and Elliot loved him in return. I know I have to let her go, I just know that if I don't it will lead to destruction.
"Okay then with the power invested with this church I show you Mr. and Mrs. Keith Reid." Everybody smiled as Keith and Elliot shared a long kiss with each other and then they were off as we followed the happy couple to the lake house to have the reception.
The lake house was a gorgeous place decorated just right. The tables were large and white. The lights were dimmed and indoor trees gave the great room a Hawaiian theme. It looked great. And we watched as Elliot and Keith had their first dance. They looked good together. Keith spun her around and her dressed puffed out to where she looked like she was a angel floating on the most fragile glass. At the end of the dance they kissed a deep kiss and I had to turn away at that kiss. Then everybody was on the dance floor and I found myself dancing with Elliot in a kind of a swing dance. Even though I was in pain I couldn't deny the chance to dance with her. I smiled as I spun her around and I watched her dress fly with such dignity. She smiled at me as the song ended.
"J.D. come on and lets sit down they will be bringing out the food quickly." She said as she headed for the longest table and sat down next to Keith pulling me into the other seat next to her. The dinner was good, roasted duck or vegetation Lasagna, red wine, noodles, French bread, fruit salad. It was wonderful.
I watched as Elliot introduced Keith to her parents and then his parents to her parents. Then she was pulled up to dance with her father and I was left at the table with Turk and his family and then Keith. Keith smiled at me and I know what I had to do.
"Keith, I want you to know that I am okay with Elliot marrying you."
"Okay, thank you J.D."
"I'm not done. I am okay as long as you swear you will never hurt her. You cause her any type of grief and I will kick your ass so hard that no one will recognize you."
"Oh look at you, J.D. being all mucho. Look at me I'm J.D. and I'm such a mucho man, fear me. No, honestly I promise you J.D. I will do nothing to hurt her." And with that he stood up to meet his wife. Carla and Turk soon stood up as Isabella started crying again.
"J.D. we will be right back. We promise." Turk said as they walked to the patio outside leaving me at the table alone. Then I heard a chair being pulled out and I felt a body sitting next to me.
"You know it is okay to go with…" I stop dead as I saw a familiar face.
"Hello John. How are you today?" The guy from the bar asked me.
"Excuse but what is your name again?" I asked him not really sure what else to really say at that moment.
"Oh how rude. I remember your name but you can't remember my name. That is not good." He said as he got up. "Did you have a good day so far? It looks like it has been something. Listen I have to go now but I just wanted to know why you won't answer your cell phone?"
I sat there watching as he walked away as I tried to shake off a bad feeling that was numbing my body. I never gave him my number so it couldn't be him leaving all voice messages, right? For the rest of the night I couldn't shake the feeling of forbidding and when the limo brought us back to the darken parking lot of our hotel I almost didn't want to leave the limo. Of course I had no choice and I quickly walked to my room and double locked the door wondering why I was taking what he said so seriously. So maybe he did find my number and for some reason was calling me it didn't mean anything dangerous right? Unfortunately right then my cell phone rang and stared at my phone for a minute before I answered the phone.
"John Dorian." I said.
"Jose Romaz." The guy answered.
"What can I do for you?" I asked making a stupid mistake.
"Nothing right now, maybe tomorrow, maybe later tonight when you are sleeping…"
"What do you want?" I asked trying to sound confident determined to not show Jose the army of fear attacking me at this moment.
"I want you to go outside. There is a package right outside the door for you. I want you to open it."
"Right now?" I asked looking at the darken hallway.
"Yes, right now. You should do it tonight. It will be too late tomorrow. You must save it."
"Save what?" I asked as fear built up inside me.
"Go and find out." And then Jose hang op his phone. I sigh shakily as I looked out the window beside the door. Save what, was there something in the box? The box will be too small for a human body, well a whole human body anyways. I didn't want to go out there but what choice but I have, if they is something dying then I have to save it. I peered out the window trying to see if anybody is around my door. No one was near my room. I cursed myself as I undid the locks of the door. I opened the door and stepped outside immediately feeling the cold clean air. I scanned my surroundings until I saw the box near the stairway. I walk away from the safety of my hotel room and walked up to the box and bent down to pick up the box when I suddenly felt strong arms around me. I start to panic as I try to fight the person off of me but he just throws me to the floor and sits atop of me. I start to panic more when I feel breathing on my neck. Oh god, somebody help me!
That is the end of chapter 2. What do you think? Good, bad, everything in between. The real question is who has JD, and what is in the box?
