A/N Hey guys, he's the next chapter. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW. I really need the feedback.

Elliot's POV

I can't believe all this just happened in one day. A few hours ago we were all sitting around in the cafeteria discussing movies and JD and Turk were singing the shaft song in really high pitched voices, and now I'm not even sure JD is going last the next hour. How does that work out? That's just fricking stupid! Life is not supposed to be this random. How am I supposed to deal with this? JD's not just my best friend, he's my on again, off again guy. I mean yea, I'm going out with Keith, but the sexual tension is always there! I mean come on, you don't just have great sex with each other a gazillion times and then completely lose the attraction because of…I don't even know what. I don't love him like that, I know that, but JD and I can't ever be just friends. We're always going to be a little bit more and I've come to rely on that. I need him to be there for me like he always is, no matter what goes on in our personal lives. I guess I never realized how needie I am when it comes to his friendship. He was the first one in this hospital to extend their friendship to me, even though he did want to sleep with me in the beginning, but he stuck around even when I was mean to him. In fact, he always seems to have my back no matter what I do to him. Like when I slept with him and dumped him for Sean the same night, he never told Sean what happened because he truly cares about me. Yes, he did hurt me after that, but if there's one thing I know, its that he didn't want to, and that he did everything he could to make things better between us. I can't say I've always returned the favor. I mean I've been there for him, but not as selflessly as he has. I mean, I kicked him out of our apartment, even though I could have waited for him to get a new place to stay first, and then when all hell broke loose on him, I bickered and fought with Turk so that I wouldn't have to listen to him talk. What kind of a person does that to their best friend? Am I that self centered? In fact everyone made is seem like JD was this little kid that we were all tired of taking care of, but that's not true at all. JD has always been the guy who fixes things for all of us. When ever I had a fight with Carla, JD always tried to put in a good word for me. He even refused Dr Cox's "command" so that I could get a chance to work with him. He never tells me these things, but word gets around. I've been such an idiot. I should have thought of all these things a long time ago and I should have been there for him. He must have felt so betrayed by us, by me. If I really think about it, JD hasn't really said anything about anything at all lately. No discussion on his feelings, no clue about how his personal life is going, no mention of how lonely he is or anything that is to do with his life outside Sacred Heard. Does he think that we don't want to listen to him anymore? Oh god! What kind of crap must he have been going through, before his accident? Fricking Frick! I've been such an idiot, I should have figured out that something was wrong. JD is the most expressive person in the world, why didn't I notice that he suddenly went from super-talkative to completely closed up about his personal life in one day. That is so not a coinkidink! God JD, don't punish me for being self observed, please. Don't die because I was a horrible friend. I won't ever be able to forgive myself.

I can't take this anymore, I've been trying to do my paperwork for the past hour, and all I've done is made sad faces on top of my reports. I need to be with JD right now, where I should have been a long time ago.

Carla's POV

Its been a couple of hours since JD got out of surgery. I don't even want t think about the look I saw on Turk's face when he came out of the OR. He looked so haunted, it made my heart sink. Apparently there were several complications during the surgery and we almost lost Bambi. The artery was fixed, but his lung collapsed during the procedure. I think that's where the real panic set in for Turk. I'm pretty sure, they weren't prepared to operate for lung damage since they hadn't had time to diagnose it. So, they had to inflate it as well. It was a close call, and I think that has scared Turk more than he's willing to admit. We've all been sitting in the Doctor's lounge for the past half an hour, waiting for JD to wake up and Turk hasn't said one word to me. I'm so proud of my baby though, he handled this like a mature adult and didn't back down from doing one of the most difficult surgeries he's ever done. So much could have gone wrong today, but it didn't. Thank god. I don't know what I'd do without my Bambi. I need him here for the both of us. He's closer than family to us and I can't imagine how empty our lives would be without him. He makes me laugh when all the work gets too much to handle, treats me like I know everything, even though that's not always true, and helps me with Izzie whenever Turk and I want to be together and the babysitter is unavoidable. Most of all, though, he lets me be his friend in this special way that's got nothing to do with Turk and I. I'm not just his best friend's wife, I'm Carla Espinoza. And to Turk, well, he's everything to Turk. Sometimes I wish Turk loved me the way he does JD. I guess I've been a little unfair to JD because of that. I always make him feel like he's in the way of our relationship, but that's not true at all. JD has done nothing but helped in every way possible to make sure that Turk and I are happy.

Everyone is so quiet, its kind of eerie. If Bambi were here, he'd probably try consoling one or all of us, and make silly jokes to make us smile. He always tries so hard to keep everyone happy, why don't we do the same for him? Sometimes I feel that he deserves better friends than us.

Oh, look, Dr Cox just came in, I get the feeling that the silence is about to be broken. He has his rant face on. I'm going to miss that silence, I have no doubt. And there he goes…

"Oh, did someone forget to invite me to this suck fest? I was so looking forward to all the moping and crying and hugging and kissing. Oh wait, but I have other things to do, like taking care of patients and a certain annoying little girl who I'm going to call Tinker bell, what with all the flying around the parking lot. Not his brightest moment, but then, that's Tinkerbell for you. Anyhow, I thought you clowns might want to know, Newbie's developed an infection!"

I think my heart actuall stopped for a second.

"What? How did that happen?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe because his body has become so weak, that his immune system isn't all one hundred percent. Say did any of you notice that Newbie…oh I don't know. Exhausting himself to death? No? Well I think between the five of us, we could be the world's most ignorant people, don't you think? I mean god, Calrla, you' re a nurse, you handle all the charts, did you happen to notice that Newbie was pulling three shifts in a row for the past two weeks? And Barbie, gosh how is that sex life with that intern boy going? Did you honestly think you were that lucky, that he ALWAYS had co-insiding shifts to suit your dating purposes? Yea that's right, Newbie took over all the patients for Keith whenever you had plans and stayed here way past his bedtime doing your boyfriend's work. Oh and Turk, your so called best friend didn't happen to mention that he wasn't getting enough rest in his time off because he was baby sitting your little girl did he? Come to think of it, for all the time you idiots spend in the cafeteria, how many times did you actually see him eatin the past couple of days? And me…well I out did myself this time. He calls me his bloody mentor and I didn't even bother talking to him about any of the things I actually bothered to notice. And you, I hope you realize that all this is your fault. Your stupid obsession with his misery might cost him his life. I hope yore' happy Janitor, co I'm going to make sure you're never happy again. But hey, good for all of us, we decided that we didn't want to take care of JD, and apparently he decided that we needed to be taken care of. We did this to him dammit!" Perry yells, through his clipboard against the wall. The loud crashing noise of the metal is all that can be heard. The silence that follows is so deafening, it make my ears hurt.

We did this to Bambi. This is fates way of telling us we screwed up big time.

As I look around the room, I can see Elliot crying softly in the corner, Turk burying his face in his hands and the Janitor is just sitting there stunned. He's probably got a whole different list of things he's done to JD that I don't even want to know about. What are we going to do now? Be there for him, what else. If we can't be there for him now, then we might never get a chance to redeem ourselves to the one person who truly cares about all of us, way more than we ever realized.

"Ok that's enough people. Let's just get up, be the friends and professionals we were supposed to be a long time ago, and get Bambi back." I say, getting up from the couch. My role as a friend and an nurse has always been to tell people what to do, so now I'm going to do it.

Everyone seems to jolt out of their stupor at this, they seem more attentive all of a sudden.

"That's right, Dr Cox and Elliot, you're in change of dealing with this infection. I'm going to take care of his medication. Turk, you're going to sit with him whenever any of us are busy. And Janitor, you get your ass in there and apologize to him the minute he wakes up. In fact, I think we all need to apologize to him. Now lets go."

JD is going to be just fine. His friends are back on his side now. He'll make it, for all our sakes.

TBC…one last chapter left.
