Don't Steal My Story!
1.15 My Nickname II
Elliot immediately went back to the cafeteria after reading the photocopy Janitor had given her. She knew she couldn't talk to JD, she didn't want him to know what Janitor had done and she didn't want to get him upset. She realized though, that Carla and Turk must know and that is why JD had stayed with her last night. For that reason, she went back to talk to them.
"Ok guys, no lies, no stories, I just want the truth, is there something going on with JD?"
Carla looked at Turk and Turk looked back at Carla.
"Come on guys! Just tell me!"
"There is something wrong with Bambi, but I can't tell you! It was wrong for me to tell Turk and I feel horrible about it, I don't want to betray his trust anymore..."
Elliot sighed, "I know what he is doing, I just want to know if you know why?"
"Elliot, anyone that does that is crazy. Simple as that!"
"Turk?" Elliot said surprised at his reaction. "Now I see why he crashed with me last night..."
"You guys need to stop blaming me for all this!" Turk raised his voice even higher, "I didn't even tell him I knew about the slicing and dicing!"
"Turk!" Carla elbowed him much harder than she ever has.
"You're his best frie..." Elliot looked up as she was finishing her thought and saw JD standing behind Turk and Carla. "JD how long have you been there?" She asked nervously.
JD turned to Turk, "I kind of figured you knew but I never thought you would treat me the way you did last night or worse yet say the things you just did about me behind my back! I have always been there for you Turk! The day you found out you had diabetes who was the one that had a sugar free candy basket waiting for you when you got home? And when we were in college and your ex-girlfriend Gina had her sorority sisters throw gum at you, who was the one that picked it out of your corn rows?"
JD turned to Carla now, "Carla! Who made all the food and desert trays for your mothers funeral and more importantly was there for you during that time? Who was the one that helped take care of Izzy while you were going through post-partum depression? I watched Dora for you, damn it!"
Finally, he turned to Elliot, "And you Elliot... Who is the one who has quietly watched as you have gone on dates, comforted you when you got your heartbroken, especially when Keith broke your heart? Who is the one who let his own heart break over and over while watching you go through all this? Who went through the trouble of making eggs sunny side up this morning when I like mine scrambled?"
JD turned so he was looking at all three of them now, "The answer is me! I know I may not be the best friend in the whole world but I try pretty damn hard to be! I can tell you one thing, I may talk about a bad hair cut behind your backs but I would never talk about something like this. And I certainly wouldn't turn my back on you because of it!"
"Bambi... we just want to help!"
"Help? Help?" His cracked. "Well, sometimes you can help more by not helping!"
It was obvious that JD was about to cry as he ran out of the cafeteria.
"Turk, go after him..."
"Baby, you go after him!"
Carla looked at Elliot.
Elliot shook her head, "I'm not going after him!"
"I want to help Bambi but I don't know how! I don't know anything about what he does and I don't know why he does it... He is never going to trust me again so it's not like his is going to tell me now..."
"Baby, just leave it! He said he doesn't want our help!"
"Guys! I don't know what to do!" Elliot screeched.

JD went to the old break room where no one ever goes anymore. After banging his good wrist over and over on a table until his fingers were too swollen to move them he crashed on the couch where he was trying his best not to get sucked into a full anxiety attack.
"Are you okay?"
JD jumped. Of course the janitor would find me in here!
"Do you ever fix or clean anything? You know... work?"
"I asked you first."
"What?" JD was so startled he didn't realize that Janitor had asked him a question.
"Are you okay?" He asked again.
"Is this some kind of riddle?"
"No... It's a question."
"Yes."
"Yes what?"
"Yes, I am okay."
Janitor sat down at the other end of the couch JD was sitting on.
"Did I ever tell you why I call you Scooter?"
"It's short for scooter pie. You hate scooter pie."
I on the other hand love scooter pie, oh who am I kidding I love all pie. Well, except apple pie, after I saw the movie American Pie I haven't been able to bring myself to eat it...
"Yea well I lied..."
"Shocker."
"I had a dog named Scooter. He was the stupidest dog to ever live and boy was he annoying! He was afraid of leaves, he peed everywhere except outside, he barked at everything, chewed everything, humped everything. He didn't listen to a word I said."
"This is just making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside."
Janitor ignored JD's sarcastic comment and continued, "One day I was careless and left the front door open and Scooter got out. He had a strange fascination with the color yellow which I attribute to the fact that I am a bad father and used the television as a babysitter and I used to let him watch Bananas in Pajamas all the time. It was his favorite, stupid dog..."
JD smiled as he remembered a few Halloweens ago when he and Turk dressed up as the Bananas and sang the song all through the neighborhood. "Bananas in pajamas are coming down the stairs. Bananas in pajamas are coming down in pairs..." That is a great show!
"Anyways, he saw a school bus coming down the road just as I realized he was in the front yard. I saw his tail wagging like crazy as the bus approached and I yelled at him to stay but it was too late. He ran right in front of the bus, never had a chance..."
"I liked the scooter pie story better." JD stood up and started toward the door before Janitor could start another story.
"Scooter!"
Too slow! JD turned back toward Janitor.
"Even though Scooter did all those stupid things and was annoying, he was my friend... I really liked having him around, I enjoyed his company... I wish I would have seen him out there, starring death in the eye sooner... I wish I could have helped him."
JD turned back toward the door without saying a word.

Jordan was surprised when she answered the door and found JD on standing on the other side.
"Hey DJ, what are you doing here?"
"I was wondering..." His voice was shaking so much he was barely understandable, "I was wondering if that offer for talking is still good?"
She nodded, "Come on in..."
