Summary
John had appeared a few more times in person, just two or three times for dinner, even more often in Peter’s stories - even once he’d dropped from surgery and was technically no longer her brother's mentee. Still, Jackie was relatively surprised when Peter arrived with a bandaged John in tow. Peter had swept into the home, as though it was routine for him to appear and leave bruised doctors standing in their entryway. He’d continued to busy himself, leaving John to stand there, awkwardly hunched, like his body weight was unfamiliar and causing him to sag.

Summary
The pain is all in his head.
When John was in rehab, he heard the words so often they became a mantra, one that echoed in his mind from the moment he woke up to the moment he fell asleep. Slowly but surely, the nonexistence of pain became an internalised truth.
Except now he's sitting on a bench outside of the ER, curled into himself because he hurts, and for once, he can't be convinced that the pain exists only in his head. Something is wrong.
OR
Shortly after Carter arrives back to work from rehab, he starts to feel unwell. He knows he hasn't been using, but does everyone else?

Summary
"John!" Michael caught his wrist, holding him still. John gave a tug but his brother only held on tighter. "This isn't about Pope, right?" He asked seriously.
"Fuck off, Michael," John managed to snatch it back, walls flying up instantly in defense. He did not want to talk about this, he'd been avoiding it and Pittsburgh for months.
"Come on," Michael laughed, exacerbated. "It was one week fucking months ago--did it really mean that much?"
"That week was the fucking happiest I have been in a long time, so yes Michael, it did really mean that much. Now if that's all, I'm fucking tired. Crash on the couch, bathrooms just off the kitchen."
"John-"
He pettily slammed the door shut, cutting Michael off as a final fuck you.

Summary
Standing with his back to the door is a behemoth of a man, grunting and snorting like a wild boar in a trap- and in the man’s grasp, pinned against the wall by the paws around his neck, is John Carter. Dead-eyed and slack as he dangles there like a marionette.
Mark's brain short circuits. He stumbles back. Yells for security, his own voice strangled, yet doesn't wait for the reinforcements to come, because the boy’s lips are tinged blue, and he isn't fighting like he should be.
OR

Summary
Set in S3. John Carter is hospitalized with a bad case of pneumonia. Eleanor Carter arrives at County General to sit at his bedside. Her visit, however, is motivated not by love for her ailing son, but by something far more selfish. Peter Benton comes to realize that his student's family life is not just complicated, but in fact deeply troubling.
Eleanor Carter didn’t ask questions about how John was doing, about his prognosis, while Peter walked her to John’s room. She doesn’t reach out to him now, doesn’t hold his hand or comb his sweat-slick hair from his feverish forehead. She doesn’t soothe him with comforting, loving words.
She just… sits there. Expression wooden and disinterested. And her eyes keep looking at the door.
