You probably are wondering why I am uploading a new story instead of first finishing the once I have started? Well here is the thing, this story is not new, it was one I uploaded on my other account and just want to keep all my fanfiction stories in one account. That is all to it.

It began on a Saturday afternoon. Now it is Tuesday afternoon and he still had the stabbing pain on his side, but he ignored it. He knew what it was from the fever and vomit he gotten this morning. Jordan found him in the bathroom throwing up he told her it's the flu but he knows that it's not the flu it's something more and as stubborn as he is, he ignored it. As a doctor, he knows that it's the appendix but shook it off even when it is painful for him. JD on the other knew something off about Dr. Cox or the fact he been avoiding JD the whole day. He also noticed Cox walking a little bit uneven, 'wonder what's wrong with him?'

While JD was talking to Carla at the nurses' station Dr. Cox walks by them and takes a patient's chart and without one glance at them or why JD isn't doing his work and calling him a girl's name Cox let them be and looks over the chart then went round the corner. JD thought this was strange and looks over at Carla, "Do you notice something odd about Dr. Cox?"

Carla looks up at him, "So I'm not the only one noticing?" she replied in surprise. She thinks it too that Dr. Cox is acting strange the way he walks, "wonder what it could be?"

JD looks over at her and shrugs, "Maybe Jordan and he got into a fight and she bruised his side?"

Carla gasps, "Don't be ridiculous Bambi! She isn't like that to him."

"What are you two talking about?" Turk interrupts he just got done with a knee replacement surgery.

"About Dr. Cox," JD explains.

"Ooh, gossip?" Turk says excited, "I'm in! What's the scoop?"

"Not so loud," JD says, "we don't want Dr. Cox to hear us."

"Anyway, Bambi? You probably don't see it but Jordan does care for Cox. I don't think she would bruise him like that?"

"Are you kidding?" JD argues back, "he is miserable with her. Why do you think he goes out drinking?"

"Work?" Turk said simply with a smirk.

"I think it's because of her. I mean look at it, Carla. They have a kid together that he only discovered a few weeks ago that it's his. They fight so much that he comes here with a bad mood and a headache. I would drink to that. Not about the kid but the fighting. Face it, Carla, she is a bitch?"

Carla didn't want to continue this conversation maybe because JD is correct?

JD was eating lunch with Elliot Reid. He looks over at Dr. Cox who is sitting with Dr. Kelso. JD looks over at Elliot, "Do you notice something off about Dr. Cox?"

Elliot shook her head, "Not at all, in fact, he has been acting nice to me."

"And you don't think that's odd behavior? Elliot this is the man who insults me with girl names. He hasn't done any of those, in fact, he's been really quiet. Don't you think that is a bit odd?"

Elliot shakes her head, "Maybe he is trying to be not as mean too you? Isn't it a relief for you?"

JD nods and looks over at Dr. Cox. He was clutching his side under the table, 'something is wrong?' When Dr. Cox got up and put the rest of his lunch in the trash and went into the bathroom. This was his chance! He gets up without saying anything else to Elliot and walks over to the bathroom.

Dr. Cox thought he was alone when he was kneeling over the toilet. He was dead wrong. When he flushed and got out of the stall who would be standing there but JD the last person he wanted to see today. "What are you doing here newbie?"

JD looks over at the stall that Dr. Cox was just in and looks over at him, "Hearing you throw up."

"Creepy newbie," he walks over to the sinks and turns on the facet.

"I came in here because I need to talk to you?"

"About what Cinderella?"

JD saw that not coming, "Are you alright? You seem a bit...offish? And you were vomiting?" he said slowly knowing that Dr. Cox will deny it.

Dr. Cox wipes his hands off and turns around to face him fully, "What are you talking about a newbie?"

"You were vomiting just now and the whole day today you been walking weird and you been clutching your side. Did Jordan do something to you?"

Cox was surprised at the question and then calmly said, "She didn't kick my side if that's what you're asking?"

"Then what's up?"

Cox was sweating and felt weak and his side hurt a lot now, but he kept a straight face when deep inside he is hurting. He knew he should tell someone but isn't going too, "Nothing newbie just having the flu," he walks past JD and exits the bathroom. Leaving JD speechless.
