CHAPTER 1

"It's just another day at Grey Sloan," mumbled April as she walked through the halls in the ER. She was really beyond ecstatic that it was back. She'd never thought in her life that she would enjoy trauma. Even Jackson had told her weeks ago that he was not following in the Avery footsteps of going to Mass. Gen and that he was going to stay at Seattle for the time being.

Oh Jackson! The guy really had an effect on her. She didn't know whether to cry or scream when his name pops up in her head yet again. She's been trying to forget about him for weeks but seeing the guy every day does not help. Guilt is what she has been feeling towards Matt ever since they got together. The guy is nice and he actually shares the same value that she was born with. Although that was tarnished when she and Jackson slept together back in San Francisco.

Yet she still couldn't help but wonder what has happened to them since then. They were the best of friends before the San Francisco fiasco. She couldn't deny that she never thought of Jackson as just a fellow intern then. The guy is practically smoldering and those green eyes are just too much to look at. She'd always thought that she was not Jackson's type and it was better to be his friend rather than another girl he slept with. Well, look where that got to.

"Kepner! Dr. Kepner!"

"Wha….what? Oh Dr. Hunt!"

"We got multiple incomings! What's wrong with you?" Hunt asked as he practically sprinted towards the other doctors and nurses gathered getting ready for another chaos.

"Oh, nothing. Just had things to think through…you know…the usual."

Hunt looked to the side before he spoke, "Kepner your usual is different than mine or someone else's. Do that part of your thinking after we get through all of this. Whatever is coming our way. I have not a slightest clue as to what happened exactly out there so…."

"Oh yes Dr. Hunt, I can do that," April answered while putting the yellow gown around her and bracing herself for what was coming. She's been at Grey Sloan for a while now, just with a different name, but seeing people coming and going through the ER with minor to major trauma still shocks her. Which begs the question she's been asking herself then why do I enjoy trauma so much?

April was pulled out of her trance when five ambulances stopped right outside the ER with one EMT stating that there's at least ten more coming and they will be making multiple trips. Maybe she'll only get a glimpse of her boyfriend amid the chaos that has just descended on Grey Sloan.

What felt like hours to April was only half an hour since she attended from one patient to the next as they came with burns or broken limbs or head injury. Trying to finish closing the wound of her current patient, April flickered her eyes back to the ambulances that were still coming. Gosh how many more were coming?

The latest victim arrived with apparently burns to his right side. April thought she'd let other doctors handle that one.

"Hey isn't that Matt on the gurney over there Callie?" Arizona asked as she maneuvered between patients.

Callie's ears perked at the question, "oh Kepner's boy?"

April's head snapped when she heard the two talking. "What do you mean it's Matt on the gurney? The guy with the burns? Can't be….right?"

"Kepner I'm pretty sure my hearing is not impaired yet. Why don't you go and see for yourself." Arizona answered.

Oh it was Matt alright. "What the hell happened to you?" April stared at Matt while he winces and grits his teeth in pain.

"I was just trying to help a little boy….you know play superhero and all!"

"Well that didn't work out very well did it!" April answered back and didn't notice that Jackson was approaching them.

"Hey Matt. April I got this. Go back over there and help Alex."

As April walked off, Jackson turned to Matt and asked him if he was alright. The guy really was great. Ever since he'd known Matt he seems to have impeccable manners, as his mother would say.

Hours later, April felt exhausted. She didn't know if Matt was still in the hospital or not. She hasn't seen Jackson after she left both of them together. She had to help Alex deliver a baby prematurely otherwise it was not going to survive. The mother, one of the victims from the explosion, was resting in the room with her husband by her side. Dr. Hunt was still with the little boy who have yet to locate his parents. He really is good with kids!
