Note: I love Grey's Anatomy and this story continues from Season 7 Episode 22, An Unaccompanied Minor. Didn't really liked this episode cos' it was too short! I always like 2 hours finale and why was Dr Stark not present? The Story's not really in Sync with what really happened in EP22. Anyhow, Grey's Anatomy belongs to Shonda Rhimes. I'm not taking that away from her! Enjoy my first story!
Chapter 1
It's been a year since the shooting, nearly two since April joined the Seattle Grace Mercy West family.
During these two years, a patient was lost due to her negligence.
She lost her job but got it back later.
She lost her best friend Reed Adamson, her long time confidant.
Her friendship with Reed was just like Cristina and Meredith.
Reed was the only one at Mercy West who didn't judge her for who she was.
Reed always paged her whenever a good case came into the ER.
They had lunch together in the cafeteria, making jokes and engaging in deep conversations.
April felt that a part of her died when Reed was gone and it could never be replaced.
Lastly, she nearly lost her virginity to Alex Karev, the prat who didn't want to go slow with her and said he can't hold her virgin hand and walk her through it.
Boy, that did really cause her some trauma and for quite some time, she had her fears whenever she passed by that particular on-call room.
Recalling the past really shook April up.
She realised she had no one to talk to.
Meredith looks busy today and mad at Alex.
Cristina seems distraught.
Lexie, well, she might be making out with Jackson somewhere in the Hospital.
April could have talked to Dr Stark, but judging from the way he treated her the past few months, she doubt that they could carry on a decent conversation together.
A plane crash happened today and the hospital was getting ready to treat any survivors that would be sent here.
All the equipments have been set up. Warm Blankets, IV fluids have been prepared.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for some good news that would appear through those doors of the ER.
Everyone waited and waited.
Mark Sloan was so bored that he started playing Angry Birds on his phone.
The clock ticked and time passed by.
Soon everyone knew, no one was going to come through those doors.
However, A miracle happened.
A little girl, an unaccompanied minor, was found alive after the plane crash, the sole survivor.
April couldn't believe what she heard over the phone.
Maybe miracles do happen in this world.
Maybe that little girl, Sarah, was spared for a reason.
April sat in that office, staring at the people who were busy at work.
What a long day it has been.
They managed to save a life today, despite the many casualties.
She had to break the news to several people, whose loved ones had perished in the accident.
April wished the day never happened.
But then again, she wouldn't have received the good news.
"Hey April!" April looked up and saw Jackson.
"Congratulations on the big news!" Jackson laughed and looked at her.
"Yeah, well, I didn't expect this you know. I didn't think I was going to have any friends here and I can't believe they liked me enough to give me the job. They hated me for so long"
"Well, they're going to hate you again. It's now your job to boss them around. Don't know how much they're gonna like that."
"Oh my god, is that true? I.. I.. I.. I'm dead meat! I can't have everyone hating me again. I don't have enough friends already! This can't be happening!"
"Don't worry April. I think you'll do a great job. In fact, you might be the best, after Bailey of cos. For now, you just sit back and relax. Tomorrow, you're gonna kick some residents' butt! You'll rock the job. I know you will."
April looked at Jackson and smiled. "Thanks Jackson. Think you better go now. Lexie's waiting for you."
After Jackson left, April continued to look at the Nurses and Doctors busy shuffling around in the ER. In her head, a little voice spoke: "April Kepner, you are finally Chief Resident."
