Jack's POV

I stomped down the hallway's of Sacred Heart hospital, glaring at anyone who had the nerve to ask me what was wrong. The universe must really hate me if it decides that it wants me to tell Julie I can't be around her anymore for the third time that week. I would have made it to my destination if I hadn't been swooped up into a pair of brown arms that tossed me over my captors shoulders.

"Turk! Put me down!" I shouted at him, banging my fists on his back as hard as I could.

"Not until you come to your senses!" he shouted back. I was suddenly thrown from his shoulders, landing on my back. My fall was cushioned by something soft but firm. I twisted round to realise I was lying on a familiar dark blue couch.

"Are we in my dads office?" I asked.

"Yes Jack, you are." a gruff voice said. I looked round to see my dad standing in front of his desk. My eyes narrowed and I stood up.

"What do you want?" I asked sternly. I hadn't spoken to my dad since Julie left the hospital.

"To get you to realise that walking away from that girl is the biggest mistake of your life." he said simply. I raised an eyebrow.

"You really are sending me mixed signals dad." he rolled his eyes, walking up to me and grabbing my shoulders. He stared right into my eyes.

"Mr. Roca and I spoke as soon as Julie was admitted to the hospital. We both agree that you and her have been through enough to show us that our fight really is affecting our children's lives and we have decided that you will be allowed to see each other."

"What about Julie's safety?" I asked fearfully. Dad sighed, giving me a sympathetic look.

"Son, there's always going to be a chance that Julie can get hurt wherever she is and it was wrong of me to try and make you feel like it was your fault just to get you to stay away from her." he said softly. I gave him a blunt stare.

"And you're ok with this?" I asked him. He sighed.

"Of course not. But I love you son and I just want you to be happy and Mr. Roca just wants the same for his daughter." I nodded.

"Thanks dad." I said with a smile. He rolled his eyes again.

"What are you thanking me for? Go get your girl!" he ordered. I grinned as I dashed out the room, hearing Turk cheering after me.

"Julie! Julie I have great news!" I shouted as I ran down the hall, my heart soaring. I dashed into her room, only to stop dead when all I was greeted with was an empty, made bed. Where is she? I noticed something sitting on her bed and walked over to it. It was an envelope with my name on it. I picked it up and opened it, pulling out the letter inside.

To my dearest Jack

I'm sorry, you were right about me. I was selfish and only thinking of myself in our situation instead of thinking about how you felt as well. I never wanted to hurt you I just wanted to see you again. It wasn't fair on you, what I did, you were only trying to protect me. I love you and that's never going to change, but we just can't be together-as cliché as that sounds. I will always love you but I know that you will meet another girl one day (or guy, your choice) and she will make you very happy. Happier then I could make you anyway. Goodbye Jack.

Love Julie.

She couldn't be serious. I looked inside the envelope for any clue of where she could have gone. All I was met with was the wolf necklace I had given her. She really was gone. I scanned over the note again, searching for anything that could tell me where she was. I felt my hope burst into flames of anguish when I found nothing but a stupid smudge.

Wait, what? I checked the note again, brushing my thumb over it. It was still wet and a smudge that small could only be made by a tear drop. If it was still wet then there is a chance she couldn't have gotten far.

"Julie! Julie where are you?!" I shouted as I tore through the hospital, checking every room. I clutched her necklace tightly in my hand as I ran past the nurses bench. "Have you guys…seen Julie?" I panted frankly. They shared a look before Carla stepped forwards.

"Yeah she went outside about ten minutes ago to catch her bus." she said nervously. I felt my heart stop. I looked outside to see it was still raining. I dashed for the door before anyone had a chance to ask me what was happening. I burst outside into the rain, noting that the sun was just starting to peek out from behind the clouds.

The bus was still there and I could see Julie sitting a couple rows from the back, looking at the floor. I leaped over the railing, getting soaked instantly by the rain, and climbed into the bus, ignoring the bus drivers shouts to buy a ticket. Julie didn't notice as I marched up to her. She started when she finally looked up.

"Jack what are you doing here?" she said, remaining calm.

"I need to talk to you." I said, my hair dripping. She shifted back slightly.

"I don't think that's a good idea Jack." she said, looking down.

"Please Julie, I have something I need to say."

"No Jack, you've said everything you can. I just want to go home." she cried weakly. Thinking fast, I did the only thing I could think of. I grabbed her, threw her over my shoulder, fire man style, and carried a kicking and screaming Julie off the bus.

"JACK PUT ME DOWN NOW! I'M SERIOUS JACK!" I stopped by the bus driver and pulled ten bucks out of my pocket.

"Drive away, now!" I demanded, throwing it at him before stepping off the bus. He looked a little unsure, but closed the door and drove off. When the bus was out of sight I set Julie down. She glared up at me, the rain hitting her face.

"What do you want Jack?" she snapped. In that moment I was stunned by her, all thought leaving my brain. In a moment of stupidity, I pulled out her necklace.

"You forgot this." I mumbled. She just stared at me.

"Jack you have a lot of nerve to drag me out into the ra-" I pressed my lips to hers, missing the feeling of her kiss more then anything in the world. She responded, matching my passion with every ounce of her body. I could tell she was mad, especially when she bit down on my lip. I stifled a groan of pleasure, trying to focus on what I had to do.

I put my hands on Julie's shoulders and pushed her away, but still keeping her close.

"My dad say's we can stay together!" I yelled happily. Her eyes narrowed in confusion.

"But what about everything you said?" she asked. I smiled at her, peeling a wet strand of her hair away from her face.

"I was being stupid and to concerned for your safety. You were always going to get hurt sometime in your life and me trying to control that only made it worse. I know now that I love you and will do anything for you." I said. When Julie just stared at me, I felt a horrible twisting sensation in my stomach. That feeling was squashed and replaced with a euphoric feeling as Julie gripped my shirt and pulled me down to kiss her again. I completely forgot about the rain as I held her closely.

When we finally separated, I touched my forehead to hers. "I love you to Jack." she said, the biggest smile I have ever seen on her face. I quickly re-tied the necklace around her neck before I pulled her into another kiss.

"And that's why I want to be a doctor." I said. The whole hall erupted into applause as I bowed. I gave them one last smile before I stepped down from the podium, heading back to my seat next to Julie. She had the biggest smile of all as she clapped. I sat down and she turned to me, straightening my tie.

Two months had passed since the semester ended and Julie and I were giving our final reports on what we had learned. A lot else had happened in those free summer months. Me and Julie had spent every day together, and some nights…if you know what I mean. Regardless, I still love her to pieces and nothing will change that.

"That was great." she said and I smiled. I grinned back.

"Thank you. You look great in that dress by the way." I said, referring to her flowing red dress. She blushed as she stood up.

"Thanks. My turn." she said as she stared at the podium.

"Good luck." I called after her. She approached the podium and stared at the hundreds of doctors staring back. I gave her a thumbs up and she smiled brightly.

"Hello, my name is Julie Roca and I have been studying in Sacred Heart hospital for the past semester on how to become a doctor. During this time I have gone through much that has taught me many important lessons, but the most important one I learned was why I want to be a doctor. I always thought it was because I just wanted to help people and make them better. It still is but much more. I want to follow this noble line of work for so many reasons. Just this semester I have found excitement, confidence and love, all from doing something that benefits those who can't help themselves. So I guess the biggest reason why I want to be a doctor…I want to be able to give future generations the ability to chose what they want to do with their lives, even if the only person I can inspire is my son or daughter. Thank you."

I swear her applause was louder then mine, which I totally understood. Her speech was amazing. She smiled brightly and shook my dads hand as he came up to take her place. For the first time in my life, I saw my dad give Julie a genuine smile. As he finished off the ceremony, I leaned in to whisper to…my girlfriend. (I love saying that).

"That was amazing." she shivered against my breath, giggling slightly.

"It was the truth. It came from the heart." she whispered back. I grinned and kissed her neck subtly.

"Even the part about having kids?" I could feel the heat radiating off her neck and face.

"Slow down Romeo. We might be close, but we're definitely not there yet." she said and I chuckled.

"Well lets see what happens."
