A/N: Hey guys. I just have to point out a few things. 1) A few typos in the last chapter which made whole sentences look very weird and turn into jelly.. 2) My God, chapter 6! You know, this fics first chapterhas been sitting on laptop ever since I started watching scrubs in October lol. My dad introduced me to it and the minute I saw JD I actually shouted: "Whoa he's hot!!! ... Did I just say that aloud...?" and I have nearly 60 reviews XD I am kicking myself for not putting it sooner lol. and MY GOD ZACH MIGHT BE LEAVING SCRUBS AND IF HE DOES THE SHOW WILL CONTINUE ON! IT'S DISGUSTIG AND INSULTING! WHAT'S ALSO DISGUSTING IS KIM AND ALSO TAHT SEASON 6 MIGHT EVEN BE THE LAST SEASON! I DUNNO WHAT TO BELIEVE!!!!

Shaitanah: Aw thanks xD Here's more-more-more xD Wow, cool phrase xD I heart it!

Diciple Of Ares:O Leave the poor computor alone! protects computor BACK! BACK YOU FIEND! No more JDA for you... No don't look at me like that...

RavenPaine: Looks innocent Me? I'm continuing, don't worry. Don't yell too much, I'll get a headache and you'll get a sore throat, silly. XD

Faniefanfan: In far away voice Me too... lame giggle I know, but scrubs can be pretty angsty when you think about it. Yes. Lots of fun to read about xD Really? Thanks xD Do yew have any stories? I need to check out all of these accounts cos I've only seen a few... :S

xAirAngelx: I seem to have replied you in a PM... hmmm... thanks for the review anyways lol XD

psychotic KAT: Aw... He does smiles lamely

Sky Pad: OMG LONG REVIEW! You're welcome xD I can be very enthusiastic and like JD if I'm not careful 'I can be prone to hero-worship'. Only I'm not hero worshipping you. That would just be scary. Scarier than my sister currently singing whilst in the loo which is... disturbing to say the least. Yea. I think the premiere involved JD being hung up as the American Flag which was a little too crazy lol. I agree there. I've been wanting three fics to be updated for ages now. One's good with the updating. Two have been abandoned :( Yes. I do still have your story. I found it the other day in my shoebox where I keep odds and ends lol. It was pink softy materialy shoebox xD Pink though shudder. Ahem... I understand totally there. For some reason I can't read Books anymore cos I'm so into fanfic. THIS HAS GOT TO STOP! I really want to finish Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy but I can't see it happening soon. :( How depressing. Ooooh plot bunny! Ooooh bounces in seat Oooh what happens?!?!?! Aw really? You thought it was beautiful xD Yea... the yeling thing was taby42's fault points at taby42 BLAME HER SHE'S THE ONE WHO CAME UP WITH HIM DOING THTAT! Poor Dr. Cox - I realised that there seems to be a fanclub for his arms... I wanna join lol. Nah, JD doesn't know yet either MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!! You're very welcome I'm going xD

x-x-x byeeeee x-x-x

I take it also, from the sudden drop in feedback, that people are losing interest :( So, I'll make the angst come in a little bit quicker kk? Thanks to everyone who DID review though xD

(Dr Cox)

I can't remember the last time I felt this guilty. It's true that past mistakes really do come to haunt you. If we had just saved Jacob's mum, then maybe her son wouldn't have come seekin revenge on me. Though, of course, he had to be an old friend who knew me well enough to know that I wouldn't care or feel guilty if I'm hurt... but if it's someone else hurt because of me, then I'll just spiral down into an intoxicated waste of space. Though this seems different.. I can't brin myself to touch even weak alcohol. Not even to calm myself down a bit. I guess my excuse is what if something happened to the kid and because I had been drinking, I wouldn't be allowed to help him. So, to keep myself away from the damn stuf, I've shut myself away in JD's room. Just looking at him is a mental handcuff keeping me in here and not galabanting off to some bar somewhere.

It's also partly the Doctor side of me kicking in. Newbie doesn't look so good and there's more to it than the whole 'being stabbed by an old friend' thing. I've managed to convice myself he had just overexerted himself but then, just thinking about it... I know that it's not. His breathing is fast and shallow and his face is white as snow. I gently place the back of my hand against his head. He's burning up... badly.

Of course. Jacob was never the most considerate person in the world. He had an obssesion with making my life as difficult as possible which I ended up socking him for about two yars before the accident. That knife was probably filthy and for all we know, he could have been chopping up raw meat with it before it turned into an almost murder weapon. Oh dear. Now that definitly wouldn't be good. I'm about to actually do something useful other than JD-sitting when my pager goes off. Dammit. I point a finger at him, "This isn't over..." I growl menacingly, "Don't you dare do anything that complicates my job."

But, he remains silent.

I rush out of the room, closing the door behind me, pulling on my latex gloves at the same time. At this time of night you have all sorts - Attacks, car crashes, suicide, all that. t's quite depressing really, but it becomes a sort of second nature to you after a certain amount of time dealing with it. I mean... it's my job after all.

"What have we got?" I demmand as I turn the corner into the ER.

"Thirty-two year old male," A nurse informs me, "Paracetomol overdose, severe blood loss from knife wounds to the wrist. BP is..."

I freeze and put my hand up to stop her from talking as see the face of the man on the gurney.

"I'm not treating him." I state shortly. There's a silence as everyone stops shouting and talking.

"What?" The nurse asks in confusment.

I walk over the the gurney, "You see this man here? Have you seen what he did to Newbie?"

The nurse looked irritated, "Be that as it may, but we can't put personal feelings in front of our job."

I frown at her, "You lot can handle this." I state shortly, before hurridly making my way back down the corridor befoe I can kill that paticular patient.

The patient who went by the name of Briggs.

If he wants to kill himself, then I'll let him.

It's just a coward's way out of getting justice for doing what he did.

I find myself nearly running to the staff room where I somehow managed to smuggle in and hide a whisky bottle. How the hell I managed that is beyond me, but it'salways comforting to know that it's there. That was until, I remembered one of the reasons I was in Newbie's room to begin with.

Leave the alcohol alone... Leave it... Leave it, Goddammit...

Okay... okay. So I was staying with him for a very wrong reason, but the other one was technically because I was doing my job.

That reminds me... Oh crap, how could I have just pushed that to the back of my mind?

I rush straight past the ajar door to the dominan of the alcohol and head towards Newbie's room.

That was when I heard the screeching of a monitor.
