Here's the newest chapter of Twelve Years After The End. Hope you enjoy.

Julie's POV

I was just going into my second week of studying at Sacred Heart and I was loving every second of it. There was only one problem…and his name is Jack Cox. This kid took the phrase prank war to a whole new level. Just this week I've had to go through more water balloons, Jack hiding under sheets and scaring me when I'm back down in the O.R, he even tried teasing me like I teased him. That only ended in his plan backfiring into me secretly filming his every attempt at being sexy. (Which wasn't actually that bad. Hey if he can say it's because he's a guy then I can say it's cause I'm a girl!).

I had responded with my own water balloons, bribing the cafeteria into messing with his lunch and even having Dr. Turk, Lucy and Cole help me to convince him it was pink scrubs day. Watching him walk in in bright, neon pink scrubs was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. His face went so red I thought it would turn into a cherry.

But I still think the best prank was my tease and take picture stunt, he still tries to get me to delete it, fat chance. As long as he still lives, so will that picture.

Today felt like it was going to be a good day, even if it was my turn to get Jack back. It was sunny, I woke up with a smile and now I feel like singing. I've already seen weirder things in this hospital, so I might as well.

"e In olden days a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking, but know god knows…anything goes! Good authors too who once knew better words now only use four letter words writing pros…anything go-"

"Who is singing that classic piece of American musical theatre?" someone shouted in booming voice. I froze, slowly turning around to see an averaged sized, middle aged man standing by the nurses desk.

"Me?" I said meekly. The man strode towards me, each step making me feel more and more like I was shrinking.

When he finally reached me I was backed up into the wall. On closer inspection I could see he had dark brown hair that held a lot of moose, styling it nicely. He had an angular face but not so much of a chin and a huge Adams apple.

"Well may I just say your singing voice is very good." he said, backing up and giving me room to breathe. "In fact I thought it was delightful, it was delicious, it was…" he trailed off at the end and pointed at me expectantly.

"De-Lovely?" I guessed. He grinned.

"Exactly. I can tell already we're goanna get on great! My name's John Dorian!" he said, holding his hand out. I shook it, smiling at him.

"Julie Roca. So you're J.D?" I asked.. He looked surprised.

"You've heard of me?" he asked, smiling. I could tell that comment made him happy. I nodded.

"Yeah. Dr. Turk, Carla and Elliot never stop talking about you. Dr. Cox too." at that last comment I watched his face brighten so much I wouldn't be surprised if he turned on like a light bulb.

"Really? What did he say?" I didn't really want to say, but I was a horrible liar.

"He says he wonders when, like Hugh Jackman, you will give up the career choice that was never meant for you in the first place. It would make the whole world a much better place." I noticed that his smile never faded.

"That means he cares." he sighed. "Anyway, is there anything I can help you with while I'm here?" he asked.

It was at that moment that Jack rounded the corner, a slingshot and water balloon in hand. He fired it at me and it connected with my forehead. I heard him laughing as he ran off.

"That's another one to me! You're loosing!" I glared after him, snatching at one of the towels a passing nurse was carrying, using it to dry my hair. I looked back at J.D, who was giving me an odd stare.

"Having trouble with Jack?" he asked. I nodded, not surprised he knew who he was.

"Yeah, just a prank war that's getting a little out of hand. I should be focusing on my studies, not trying to beat Jack at pranks."

"Why don't you just back out?" he asked. I gaped at him.

"And let him win? No way!" he smirked, a look I got a lot whenever I mentioned Jack.

"Well I have a plan that can help you end this and get it so his dad might finish this for you." my eyes widened. Bringing Dr. Cox into this would be a dirty move, but Jack deserved it.

"Ok. What do I have to do?" I asked. J.D smirked and quickly removed the wedding ring he was wearing from his finger before slipping it on mine.

"Just go with whatever I say." he said before leading me back towards the nurses station with a hand on my back. I noticed Dr. Cox was standing there, talking with Carla. I liked Carla. She was the head nurse and knew everything that went on in the hospital. She had long dark hair, coffee coloured skin and a faint Spanish accent. She helped me navigate the hospital and helped me with any work I was struggling with.

"Ah, good morning Perry!" J.D. greeted, only to be answered with a sneer.

"Betty. Wet head." he said curtly. Who's Betty? J.D carried on as normal, not even fazed.

"I just wanted you to meet my cousin Julie." he said, gesturing to me. Dr. Cox's E

Eyebrows shot up.

"That explains so much. Like how I find both of you increasingly annoying to the pint where I wanted to kill myself every time I laid eyes on you." he remarked dryly. I gulped, wondering where J.D was going with this.

"Well I just wanted to let you know that her boyfriend has proposed to her." he said excitedly, holding up my hand. Dr. Cox turned to us, a surprised look on his face.

"May I ask who the unlucky victim is?" he asked with a scary smirk on his face. I watched J.D's face crease into a scary smile.

"Why it's your son, Jack. Welcome to the Dorian family." he said calmly. Something happened that moment that I wish had been documented. Dr. Cox was left speechless. His face turned a new shade of red and I thought a new volcano would be discovered where the hospital used to be.

In a flash he was off, tearing down the hospital at breakneck speeds.

"WHERE IS MY SON!" I heard him scream from the other side of the hospital. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see a scared looking Jack.

"What did you do?" he asked worriedly. I smirked.

"Wait and see." I told him. "Why scared." his worried look melted, replaced by his usual cocky smirk.

"Of my dad?" he asked, hopping up onto the nurses bench. "No way. When he realises this was all a joke he'll just go and get a couple scotches then stumble home." I felt a little sad for him, having a dad who likes to get drunk. "I mean it only makes sense that you would stoop as low as to lie about us being in a relationship. You obviously have a thing for me." he said with a sigh. My eyes widened.

With a few steps I was in his face, glaring at him. I tried not to take note of the fact that I was standing between his legs.

"I would only have a thing for you when hell freezes over." I said in dangerously calm voice. He only smirked.

"Getting a little close aren't we? Buy me dinner first darling." my eyes narrowed and I was about to walk away, if it hadn't been shoved by a rushing Dr. Turk who embraced J.D in a huge bear hug. The shove sent me barrelling into Jack, who's arms shot out to catch me around my waist.

My own arms went different ways. While one steadied my self against his chest, the over went higher, my fingers going in his mouth. Casually he freed my hand, spitting it out of his mouth. He looked down at me and had the nerve, or stupidity, to keep smirking. I had to admit, he was extremely cute this close up.

"Now you're just taking advantage of me." I would have slapped him if a familiar angry voice hadn't stopped me.

"Just what the hell is this?" Dr. Cox shouted at me. With a glance at Jack, I jumped away, blushing furiously. Dr. Cox advanced on us, grabbing Jack by the arm and pulling him away. "Is it true?" he demanded. I looked at Jack, who just looked lost. I waited, wondering what he was going to say.

"Is what true?" he stammered. Dr. Cox pointed at me, fire in his eyes.

"That you and this sorry excuse for a girl were not only dating when I forbade you, but now you're engaged. Jack's eyes widened before he looked at me.

"That's your big prank? That's not even funny!" he cried. Dr. Cox's eyes seemed to clear.

"Prank?" he asked, looking between us. J.D took that moment to step forwards.

"That's right Perry! It was all a prank and you and Jack fell for it. I think that counts as a double win on Julie's part." I really wished he would stop talking. Dr. Cox glared at us, along with Jack.

He pointed at J.D, who flinched back. "You will pay." he said simply before pointing at me. I held my breath. "And you…get down to paediatrics, Dr. Benet is waiting." he grumbled before walking off. I was relieved I thought I would faint. Jack stared after him.

"That's it? That's the only punishment she gets?" he shouted after his dad. Dr. Cox stopped and turned around and I felt like I was being sized up by a monster considering whether or not I would make a good meal.

"If I hear anything more about any pranks being pulled, both of you will be out on your asses. Am I clear?" we both nodded and he walked off.

Jack turned to me. "That doesn't mean you won." he said firmly. I smirked, my confidence returning now that Dr. Cox was gone.

"I think it does. I got you and Dr. Cox and I still have that picture of you." Jack stammered for an answer but I just waved at him before walking off, happy with the way our prank war ended.

Maybe this wasn't so bad after all…
