Mark can barely open his eyes. Through the slits that he has some what open he can see Someone sitting in the chair to his right. Jackson Avery is there in his every day clothes he sits there just in case Mark wakes up. Mark tries to conjure up something to say but his throat is so dry all that comes out is scratchy gibberish.
"Hey man, heres some water." Jackson says handing him a full cup of room temp water. Mark engulfs it in less than a few seconds.
"Where...?" Mark clears his throat "Is she... Is she alive?"
"Lexie? Yea she's pretty banged up like really bad." Jackson says trying to sound sympathetic.
Mark swallows hard and clenches his teeth. "How bad, is bad?"
"The whole lower part of her body is crushed. Torres went in to realign some of the bones, the rest is well untouchable."
"So?" Mark presses to hear more of what Torres said. "Jackson tell me is she brain dead? Is she not responsive?"
"No, She could be stuck in a wheel chair for the rest of her life." Jackson says this slowly taking precaution just incase Mark can't take it.
Mark is silent for a minute. "Thats it? I mean she isn't a vegetable she can talk and she is responsive?" She remembers the promise they made. "Is she awake?"Mark asks rushing the words.
"Uh, no she just got out of surgery not even an hour ago. She probably wont be awake till mid-morning tomorrow." Jackson says a bit confused at where Mark is going with all this. He looks at mark questioningly. Mark just sits there big smile on his face making a plan.
"Perfect!" Mark yells out "I need you to get me a diamond ring!"
"Wait, wait, wait what?"
"Go. Buy. Me. A diamond ring!" Mark repeats still a dorky smile across his face. Jackson stands confused still a little stunned by his request. "What?"Mark asks a little discouraged. "Oh right money. Wheres my wallet?" He asks looking around then realizing it was on the plane. They most likely didn't grab it. Ok go to my apartment and get my checkbook. I don't care how much it is just buy it."
"I don't know what ring to get. What does she even like?"
"You dated her too aren't you supposed to know? Oh wait I'm supposed to know too. Just ask Kepner to go she's a girl she'll know."
"Fine" Jackson finally agrees. Any excuse to be with April, Jackson will take.
Jackson finds April in the locker room changing out of her scrubs. "Apes I need you" She doesn't have a shirt on and Jackson can't help but to look at the flawless skin that covers her small frame.
"Jackson!" April shrieks pulling her shirt over her head.
"Oh stop it's not like I haven't seen it before." CRAP! He thinks inwardly. Her face goes red. "I...I mean.. you know what I mean." Jackson stumbles over his words.
"What is it Jackson?" She asks putting on her shoes.
"Mark just asked me to buy him an engagement ring for him. He wants to ask Lexie to marry him tomorrow."
"Huh! How exciting!" April shrieks in her high pitch voice that Jackson thinks is adorable. "Why do you need me?" She asks Although she doesn't mind a night out with Jackson. Looking at engagement rings... Ok lets get out of those thoughts and back into reality.
"I don't know how to pick out a ring." He says like she should know this already.
April gives him a disapproving look. "I swear ten years from now we woman are going to ask the men to marry us... With food." She shakes her head smiling. "Ok I'll go."
"Awesome!" Jackson says a little too excitedly. We have to stop by his apartment first for his check book."
Hey so tell me what you think :) R&R
