Author's Note: Hello there! This is my first attempt at a Grey's Anatomy story, and please bare with me because I just got into the show, so if the characters seem off or if I get something wrong please tell me so I can be share not to repeat my mistakes. Also, I have fallen in love with this pairing, but it kind of sucks because there isn't much out there for them. I do have hope that maybe down the line a romance can happen. J Well the lack of stories and just the lack of anything on this pairing is what convinced me to write a story for them. Well anyways here is the disclaimer!

Disclaimer: I do not own Grey's Anatomy, nor do I own any of it's characters. HOWEVER, I do own this story plot! J Now, ON WITH THE STORY!

Lie To Me

By: Melody Martinez

"How dare she? I mean really how dare she? To tell Jackson that I, APRIL KEPNER, am in love with him! And to add onto that she told him that was the reason she didn't want him "hanging" around me anymore! UGH! What does she even know? Just 'cause she's Meredith's sister she can just walk around all high and mighty, thinking she owned the place. And oh, don't even get me started on her childish antics at work. I mean seriously! How can Jackson even THINK she is the right one for him. Okay, I know that may have came out sounding like I do like him, but I really don't, it's just he's one of my closes friends. I'd even go as far as saying after the shooting and Reed's death, he has become my BEST FRIEND. But, anyways, what makes matters even worse is that Jackson didn't even tell me this information. No, I had to find out from Alex (of all people!) whom, by the way, only knew this because he was walking by Jackson's room and "overheard" Lexie. And trust me, he did not let the teasing slip from his grasp. All day I had to here, "Oh where's the lover boy?" and, "Honestly, I knew it would happen. April, you're just THAT predictable." It was such a big nuisance and it just added onto an already stressful day." She was silent for a few moment before she continued on her rant.

"I mean, what does he even see in her? He's just to good for her. He's smart, funny, charismatic, sweet, caring, protective, just an overall great guy. Hmmm… Don't give me that look. He's just my best friend." April looked down at the curious eyes that looked back up at her. She had went for a walk in the park earlier to clear her mind and came across a cute little kitten scurrying around, scavenging for food. The kitten looked so deprived of it's needed nutrients, that she just had to pick him up and bring him home with her. And now after feeding and bathing him, she lie on her bed, with it lying on her stomach, updating the kitten about her newest dilemma. She shifted so the cat was lying beside her and she was lying on her side. She softly stroked the kittens back and sighed, " Let's just hope Jackson doesn't decide to listen to the idiocies of Lexie Grey."

1 week later

Jackson had believed it! He actually believed it and decided to listen to Lexie. But after the first week was up, April decided that it was all going to end. She had had it.

'I can't believe Jackson. He actually went along with what Lexie had to say! For a whole week he didn't talk to me, unless he absolutely had to, and even then he was all hesitant.'

It took her forever to find him, but when she did he was in the locker room, changing into his regular clothes.

"Jackson, we need to talk." The words came out so stoically. He could tell she meant business.

"Umm...April can this wait?" Wrong move there buddy.

"NO, it cannot wait so you are going to shut up and listen, Avery! I can't believe you! After everything we went thru together, after all the support, and conversations, and just everything, you're going to go and believe HER! Yeah, okay, I may not be your "girlfriend" like she is, but I am your BEST friend! Or at least I thought I was. I can't believe I even thought of you as someone I could trust and confide in, when you couldn't even do the same for me! I really was the idiot huh? I had you pegged as this great guy, who was true and sincere and who would NEVER let me down, but no! Your just like ALL the other stupid guys out there! Well you know what Jackson, FINE! Believe her, never hang out with me again, I'm done with caring. Who needs you anyways!" She let her anger, her pain, every little pent up emotion inside, out. Well some of them, at least.

Before Jackson could even reply, she was out the room and down the hall. Unshed tears stung her eyes and made everything blurry. She could feel a throbbing in her head, a lump in her throat that she could not swallow, and her heart felt like it dropped to her stomach. April Kepner had lost it, big time, and all she wanted was to get the hell out of this hospital.

Back in the locker room, Jackson stood there looking at the door April just ran out of. She was right. How could he just drop her like that, over something so silly and that might not even be true because, honestly, he didn't even know if Lexie WAS right! She could be wrong, especially now with the way he treated her in this last week, like she wasn't even there. But, to be honest, he didn't mean to just simply ignore her. He just thought maybe they needed a little space.

To hear your best friend is in love with you is huge in itself, but what made it worse for Jackson was that when those words left Lexie's lips he felt…pleased. This unknown sense of happiness and empowerment washed over him, and it scared him. What did it mean? He liked Lexie right? Of course! So then why did hearing those words, "April's in love with you", affect him in such a positive way? He just didn't know…or at least that's what he tricked himself into believing.

In this life we all experience feelings we are afraid of, so we cover up those feared feelings with lies. We lie to ourselves and we lie to others around us, even though deep down we know the truth. But even with knowing the truth, we eventually lose ourselves in our lies, so to us, our lies become the truth, and the truth has become a lie.
