Hey! This Chapter is more of a little one-shot to let you know how some of the other baby characters from the previous series are doing. Hope you like it!
Jack's POV
I still felt a little mad that I had to spend the day before my birthday on call. I was goanna be completely wiped out on my birthday, and still be stuck here on the day. At least Julie will be there, that makes it a little better. I still felt bad that I pretended not to know when her birthday was, but I just want to make my idea more of a surprise. I just hope dad goes along with it. I can't believe the lengths this girl was making me go too, just to make her smile.
Ever since we became friends I've noticed a lot of things I like about Julie, like how we have a lot of things in common. The obvious ones: we both want to become doctors. We both love Ice Hockey and support the same team. I wonder what else we have in common. I wonder if she can sing…Wait, why do I care what we have in common? It's not like I'm her boyfriend or anything.
I would have thought more on the confusing topic, if my stomach wasn't rammed by a scruffy, brown haired blur, winding me slightly. I looked down at what had run into me.
"Hey Sam!" I said happily, ruffling the thirteen year olds hair. He laughed as he pushed my hand away. I had known Sam since he was born, he was J.D.'s kid that he had had with some blonde chick that wasn't Elliot. She still loved him all the same though, which was cool. My dad didn't approve of our friendship but he kind of had to shut up on that topic when I started babysitting for the Dorian's.
"Hey Jack. I can't talk right now I'm hiding from Izzy." he said quickly, his eyes darting around nervously. He would have run off if I hadn't caught onto his collar.
"Wait. Why are you hiding from Izzy? I thought you guys were best friends." Sam gave me a dark look.
"We were, but she's changed. She keeps trying to hold my hand or hug me." Sam shivered as he said this. I laughed and Sam glared at me.
"Dude she likes you." I said.
"Duh!" Sam said blatantly. "She's my best friend. Of course she likes me." I rolled my eyes at his naivety.
"No, she likes you likes you." I said, putting emphasis on the 'like'. Sam's eyebrows shot up.
"Really?" he asked, suddenly looking a lot more interested. I smirked at him. "How do you know? How do I know if I like her back? I how should I ask her out?" Sam said, going off into a string of questions. I just stared at him, unable to comprehend all of what he was saying.
I was just about to try and answer when I spotted Julie coming down the hall. She was talking on her phone. I waved at her before stopping, just realising what I was doing.
"And I want them delivered before Thursday, it has to be at my house by then at the latest." I heard her say before she spotted me. She quickly hung up the phone before jogging over to me and Sam. I would have asked her who she was talking to, but Sam was still freaking out.
"Hey Julie. Meet Sam, J.D's kid. He needs your help." I said quickly, pulling Sam to stand in front of me. Julie looked a little surprised but smiled down at Sam anyway.
"Uh…ok how can I help?" she asked.
"Help me to ask out my best friend," he said franticly. Julie's eyebrows scrunched together in confusion.
"That's a risky thing to do. If she doesn't like you back then it could ruin your whole friendship." she said. Sam gulped. I couldn't help but feel a little nervous too. The whole friendship…I glanced at Julie.
"But she seems to like me. She keeps holding my hand." he said meekly. Julie's face brightened.
"Oh well that changes everything." she said, taking Sam's arm and leading him away. Sam looked over his shoulder at me, giving me a 'help me' look. I would have followed, but at that point a chocolate skinned little girl walked up to me, waving happily.
"Hey Jack!" she said in her smooth, future soul singers voice. I could tell she was on her way to stardom, so could Turk but he was her dad so it technically didn't count.
"Hey Izz! How's my future Aretha Franklin doing?" I asked, leaning down to accept the hug she offered. She giggled as she let me go.
"I'm ok. I'm just looking for Sam. Have you seen him?" she asked with a slight blush on her dark cheeks. I smiled down at her. Izzy was like a surrogate little sister to me, even though I had my own. Izzy was cooler though.
"Yeah. He went with my friend Julie, the one you met yesterday, to find out how to ask out a girl." I said simply. Izzy's face fell.
"Really. I never took him for an older woman type." she said a little sadly. My eyes widened.
"No! No! No! he doesn't want to ask out Julie!" I stammered. Izzy looked up at me and I could see she was on the verge of tears.
"Why? I saw her yesterday. She's beautiful." she cried sadly. I couldn't help but agree with her on that. Not wanting to upset her, I said the first (and most stupid) thing that popped into my head.
"Sam's not going out with Julie because I am." Izzy's head snapped up.
"Really?" I nodded.
"Yeah, for a few weeks now. But I think Sam said something about asking you out." I knew this was a violation of the bro-code but I had to get Izzy to reconsider Sam. She smiled brightly, her usual million watt smile.
"Izzy!" both of us turned to see Sam running down the corridor. I noticed his hair was styled into a cool looking side parting that flopped over his right eye slightly and his shirt was un-tucked and slightly messy, giving him a casual but kinda mysterious look. Izzy blushed bright red.
"Hi Sam. I like your hair like that." she said. Sam blushed, but managed to look like he knew what he was doing.
"Thanks. So I was wondering if you would like to go grab some pizza with me some time?" he asked smoothly. If it was possible, I think Izzy's smile got even bigger.
"Sure I would love to." way to go Sam, that's my boy. "Maybe we can double date with Jack and Julie?" my proud grin slid off my face and I turned to look at Julie. She was blushing furiously.
"Excuse me?" she asked, staring at Izzy, then at me. "Me and Jack aren't-" I quickly cut her off, wrapping my arm around her waist and squeezing tightly.
"Maybe some other time. You two enjoy your date." I said smiling at them. When Izzy gave me a strange look I decided to sell the act. I placed a quick kiss on Julie's cheek, feeling her skin heat up as soon as my lips touched it.
Sam shrugged. "Ok, bye guys. Thanks for your help Julie." he called as he and Izzy walked away, his arm hesitantly going over her shoulders. She responded by putting her head on his shoulder. As soon as they were out of sight, Julie jumped away from as if she had been burned.
"What the hell was that? I thought your dad said-" I hushed her as we started getting looks from some of the other people in the hospital.
I quickly dragged her into my dads office, knowing that if word got around, especially to Carla, then soon enough my dad would find out and get the wrong idea. He already hated who Julie was, this would make him think he had the right to kick her off the course. When we were inside, Julie started firing off questions quicker then Sam was.
"Izzy misinterpreted something I said and the only thing I could think to say was that we were going out. She thought Sam was asking you out." I explained. Julie seemed to calm down a little.
"So…it was fake?" she asked, looking a little unhappy. I nodded, confused as to why she would feel upset about it. Maybe she didn't like the kiss. She quickly frowned. "Well next time, warn me before you pull a stunt like that!" she snapped. Yep didn't like the kiss. Before I could apologise and thank her for her help she was already halfway out the door.
"Julie!" I called. She stopped and turned to face me. I had a sudden urge to compliment her, make her feel good. "Sam really appreciated your help. You did a good job." I said, leaning on the couch, hoping to seem casual. Julie smirked.
"Just Sam?" she asked. I coughed and looked away, feeling a little uncomfortable. "Hey Jack?" I looked back up at her. "Anytime you need a fake girlfriend again, at least clue me in on what you're doing first." I blushed but nodded. She returned it with a smile before she walked away, opening her phone and dialling a number as she went.
I smiled after her, hating to see her go, loving watching her leave. I quickly shook my head, deciding I needed to focus on something else. I wonder how those tickets for next months Hockey game are comin' along…
So what do you think? Tell me in your Review...
