Prompt: Jackson comforts April.
April doesn't understand God sometimes.
She loves him unconditionally but she would never do some of the things he does. Like the Titanic, thousands lost in the freezing water. 9/11 so many families lost so much that day, kids lost parents, wife's lost husband.
Today though she couldn't believe he did what he did.
A family of four. She didn't save one of them. The two kids, a mother and their father. It was a terrible car crash, the drunk driver didn't have a scratch.
So April stands in her quiet, dark apartment covered in their blood. She could've took a shower but she was afraid she would break down. Jackson will be home in two days but April wanted her husband here, with her, now.
April grabs a cup out of the cupboard. The lightning scares her making her drop the cup, it shatters all over the floor.
"Damn it!" April shouts to no one. The tears spill over making her sink to the ground in a ball sobs.
Jackson walks upstairs, soaked from the rain. He walks up to the apartment ready to surprise his wife. The door unlocks and Jackson walks in, setting the keys on the hook and his bag on the ground.
"April?" Jackson looks around the dark apartment. "April?" He goes to turn to their bedroom but heard sobbing behind the counter. Jackson cautiously walks behind the counter and sees her. She sobbing, her face is on the floor. Blood was smeared around her, in her hair, on her hands, and all over her scrubs.
Jackson crouches down and picks her up. April continues to cry. He manages to get her in the bedroom and sets her on the bed and he waits.
For her to talk, to get out, he waits for her to be ready. The crying stops eventually and April reaches for his hand. "What happened?"
"I-I-it was a family. An entire family! They all d-d-died. I couldn't save them!" Jackson wraps his arms around and pulls her close. "I watched two kids die! One was seven and the other was two. They didn't even have a life."
"Shhhh, April there was nothing you could have done, ok? There's living and dying but we can't choose which one happens." April tears up again and grabs his hand tightly.
