Their Reactions
Chapter 3
Elliot
I can't believe it. This had started out as such a nice night. Carla took my night shift so I could go out with Sean and we had such a great time. When I come home there's two messages on my answering machine. Ones from Sean to comment on the night and the other…from Carla. She sounded so sad, it was scary. I heard sobs and immediately thought something was wrong with the baby or Turk.
JD didn't even cross my mind.
Now I feel horrible. I've always had a good memory. I can still remember the message from Carla… word for word.
Flashback
I pushed the button indicating 'speaker', a big smile plastered onto my face. I already heard the message from Sean, he's so sweet. A long beep rang out along with some static before the message played.
"Elliot?" Her voice was small and unsure. It was so unlike her. I immediately new something was wrong.
"Elliot, please call me back as soon as you can. Its JD." Their was a short pause filled only with small sobs. My smile faded and a load of dread settled in the pit of my stomach.
"JD he- oh god -he…he's gone. JD is gone. He killed himself." Tears pricked my eyes. I didn't want to believe it. There was no way he could just…
"Please, come over a soon as possible. Oh god…" More sobs were heard. Along with someone dialing a phone in the background.
"JD…" Sniffles. "Oh I forgot to ask… how was your date?" Her voice cracked at the end. There was static, then silence. A lump had rose in my throat and I stood stock-still. There was no way… this can be true…
"This has to be a joke… No, no JD's not dead… HE DID NOT KILL HIMSELF! HE DIDN'T!" I screeched. I broke out in sobs that racked my body and fell to my knees. "No…this can't be true…" But I new it was a lie.
End flash back
Even now, standing outside the hospitals morgue, I didn't want to believe it. "Frick." I mumbled as fresh tears made their way down my cheeks. Carla put a reassuring hand on my shoulder. I could vaguely hear Dr. Cox yelling at some poor intern in the distance, and couldn't help but wonder how he would take the news of JD's… I stared up at the ceiling and closed my wet eyes.
JD…
My confidant.
My part time lover.
My best friend.
My thoughts wandered to what he probably thought of me in his last moments.
His frequent annoyance.
His constant one-night-stand.
His background buddy.
My gaze shifted to Carla. She was staring up at me with glassy eyes.
"Carla… do you think if I had tried to make our relationship work… would he have…?"
"Elliot… this wasn't your fault. Don't you think that for a second."
"But… if it isn't my fault… who's is it?"
We heard a crash and turned our heads to see Dr. Cox storming down the hall, and our minds synced.
AUTHORS NOTES
Haha! I actually liked this one! X3 Elliot weird to write, but much easier than Carla. I hoped you all enjoyed this chapter! Can you guess who's up next? 83
I'm trying to update every day if you haven't noticed so the next chapter is right around the corner! BTW, background buddy is a term my friend came up with! I means a friend who kind of drifts into the background and only appears when needed. Weird huh?
Until next time, Bye-Bye! And please Review!
