Perry was storming through the halls of Sacred Heart and could not find Gandhi anywhere. Just as he was about to give up and force an explanation out of Newbie, Turk walked out of the OR with Todd by his side.

"Gandhi! You and I need to go into a deep conversation in the next five minutes or I'm going to call Carla on her day off and tell her that you and Gladys are, in fact, married!"

Turk rolled his eyes as Todd grinned after doctor Mickhead:

"You know what else is deep?"

Dr. Cox gave him a death glare while Turk raised an eyebrow and had a disgusted look on his face.

"Mickhead isn't straight five?"

"Oh, dear God…"

Perry grabbed a hold of Turk's scrubs and walked away at a fast pace to the cafeteria, knowing for a fact that it was most probably empty at this time. Arriving there, he shoved Turk into a chair and sat down opposite of him.

"Alright Gandhi, you and I are going to settle this once and for all… You're the only idiot I know who has to have an idea why Marcia is acting more like a girl today, especially around our new UTI patient."

Up until then, Turk just looked normal, but at the mention of UTI, his face dropped and he looked down. Perry could almost smell the information he needed when Turk shook his head.

"I'm sorry dr. Cox, but this is something that J.D. has to decide if he'll tell you… He's my best friend and I can't talk about this behind his back."

With that, Turk got up and walked away. Perry just sat there with a blank look on his face for about five minutes before his pager went off. It read "314 STAT" and his blood went cold for a minute realizing that Selena Williams was in 314.

J.D. was distracting himself by talking to Laverne, thing that rarely happened without snide remarks or jokes. Just as he grinned for the first time that day, his pager went off: "314 STAT". J.D. felt the run there taking an eternity. When he entered the room, dr. Cox was shouting at a nurse to get two sets of painkillers. His heart seemed to stop when he heard Selena crying her lungs out and he instantly knew what she was going through: acute renal colic. It was known for a fact that acute renal colic was probably the most excruciatingly painful event a person can endure. Striking without warning, the pain is often described as being worse than childbirth, broken bones, gunshot wounds, burns, or surgery. But J.D. didn't realize what it was based on knowledge. Oh no… J.D. went through it... Countless times, but right now he could only remember the first time. After all, it was because of it that his illness was discovered…

-24 years ago-

"Tag! You're it!"

Little J.D. was laughing at one of his friends for getting tagged as he ran off at a small distance. It was play time in the neighborhood and almost all of the kids were outside, having a blast. After some time of running around like crazy, J.D. got tagged by the same kid that he laughed at. Giggling, he started running after whoever was closest to him when a sudden shot of pain ran through the small of his back. He stopped dead in his tracks with obvious fear on his face. A second shot, more powerful this time, made him clutch his left side and start crying. All of his friends gathered around him, not knowing what to do. When the pain increased even more and turned continuous, J.D. started to scream, thing that got two older kids to run to his house and alert his mother. When she arrived, she felt a wave of nausea overcome her body when she saw just how much pain her son was experiencing. She gathered him in her arms and ran all the way home where she quickly dialed 911. The ambulance arrived in 10 minutes… 10 minutes that felt like an eternity of agony to her and even worse to J.D.

-present time-

"Newbie, for God's sake, a little help here!"

Doctor Cox wasn't able to administrate the painkillers because Selena was trashing around. J.D. knew she wasn't acting consciously and proceeded to hold her down while trying to talk to her.

"Selena sweetie, I know how painful this is, but you have to hold still for me so that doctor Cox can make it better, alright?"

The girl seemed to calm down a bit so Perry took this as an opportunity to finish the job quickly. The medication took effect in almost five minutes as she became noticeably tired. J.D. wiped her face with a cool cloth, while talking to her.

"Selena, I promise that I'm going to do my best to get you out of this. I know how painful this is for you and I know being in the hospital doesn't feel nice. But I'm going to be there with you in the morning and we'll get through this together, alright?"

The little girl was already asleep, holding on tightly to J.D.'s hand as he whispered a few last words, making sure that she can't hear, even though she was asleep. With tears in his eyes, he moved the hair from her face.

"You will not suffer through 24 years of intensive treatments, I swear to God…"

Unbeknownst to him, Perry was still in the room and felt the ceiling crash onto his head in realization: the kid actually knew what it felt like and he wasn't just trying to comfort Selena. But when and how? Is that why he had all these episodes ever since he met Selena?

J.D. wiped his tears and turned around with the intention of telling Selena's parents that they can go in. He stopped in his tracks when he saw doctor Cox looking at him with a puzzled expression on his face. Praying that the older man didn't hear his last words, he rushed out to send the parents in.
