April walked into the attending lounge tears in her eyes. Jackson was sitting on the couch, he slowly looked up and noticed her glossy eyes. He stood up and ran to her.

"Is everything okay April?" He asked concerned.

April shook her head, "not really," she broke into a sob, "my dad, he-he had a heartattack," she buried her head in her hands, "he didn't make it," she mumbled.

Jackson's jaw dropped, he met her dad a few times when they were interns we met them when they visited and he went with April to Moline a couple of times. He was a really good man and him and April were super close, she told him everything, he knew what happened between him and April, he didn't even mind, he trusted Jackson.

"Oh my god April, I'm so sorry," he soothed, "have you talked to Matthew?"

April shook her head, "no, I just found out," she continued to sob, Jackson pulled her into his chest and rubbed her back. "I'm so sorry April."

"I just can't believe he's gone!" She cried.

"I know," he nodded. He walked them over to the couch and continued to rubbed her back.

"I-I don't know what to do," she admitted.

"Go home," he insisted, "I'll find someone to cover your shift, go home."

"I don't want to be alone," she cried, "I feel so alone, all the time."

"It's okay April," she continued to sob.

She took a breath and looked up at him "I miss you."

Jackson couldn't help but half smile, "I miss you too."

"I can't be alone again," she sighed, "he's never there." April looked up at Jackson and saw he was slightly confused, "Matthew he's never home. Can you come home with me?" She asked desperately.

"Of course, anything you need." He nodded.

April sobbed more into Jackson chest, "c'mon let's get you home," he stood up and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, he grabbed her hand and they started walking out of the hospital. Meredith saw them and looked confused.

"Hey guys, whats up?" Meredith asked.

"Umm I need to get April home," Jackson explained, "do you think she could have the," Jackson thought for a minute for the appropriate amount of time for now, "week off?"

"Why?" Meredith asked concern in her voice, "did something happen?"

April cried a little more, Jackson rubbed her shoulder reassuringly.

He looked at Meredith, "can we talk privately for a second?" Meredith nodded and she walked into the supplies closet behind her. Jackson quickly rubbed April's shoulder once more, "I'll be right back."

He followed Meredith into the supplies closet and closed the door, "umm, April's father, he had a heartattack," he started, Merediths jaw slightly fell, "he didn't make it."

"Oh my god, how is she?" She asked.

"Not so good, they were really close, and her stupid excuse for a fiancè isn't any help."

"You don't like Matthew?" Meredith asked eyeing him suspiciously.

"Why would I?" He chuckled, "do you?"

"Uhh, I don't really know him," Meredith said awkwardly.

"Yeah well, I was gonna try to find someone to cover her shift," he sighed.

"You take time off too," Mer insisted, "she needs someone now, she needs you, your her person."

Jackson smiled, "so I'm her Cristina?"

"Yeah," Mer smiled, "you are, you really are. Take time off."

Jackson caved, "fine I don't want her to be alone, if you need any help call me, okay?"

Mer smiled, "okay, now go with April."
