Please Review!
I do not own any of the characters. All rights go to Shonda Rhimes.
Alex was in the Attendings office still thinking about what he just agreed on. He just agreed to be April Kepner's date. April skipped out of the Lounge accidently bumping into Jackson while he was walking in. "Oh Sorry" Jackson smiled to April. April didn't say anything but skipped down the hallway. Jackson got sad just by the interaction between them. She didnt say anything. "Why is she so happy?" Jackson asked while he took a seat near Alex. "Oh um nothing." Jackson knew he was lying. He wanted to know why she was so happy but he just dropped it.
"So tonight you are going to Bailey's wedding with one of Stephanie's friends." Jackson blurted out.
"Who the hell is Stephanie?"
"Stephanie, the intern, Edwards." Jackson said.
Alex thought for a bit. He figured it out it was the intern who hung out with Hairball alot.
"Oh, sorry. I already have a date."
"Shut up." Jackson chuckled. "Who is low enough to go on a date with Alex. Who did you ask?"
Alex got irritated by Jackson's comment. "Actually she asked me."
"You're kidding." Jackson chuckled. Wait a minute he thought. He stopped laughing. "Wait a minute." He said harshly "You are going with April!?"
"Yeah."
"She was supposed to go with Shane!"
"Not any more dude! Sorry"
"You can go with her!"
"I can and I will. Your not her dad and definitely not her boyfriend anymore."
With that Alex got up leaving a very angry Jackson.
Jackson checked his watch for a eighth time. Where is April? He would rather be talking to her. Stephanie, his date, wasn't bad. She dressed really good and looked amazing but she wasn't April. April had fiery red sexy hair. April had beautiful creamy shoulders. She had dimples. She was gorgeous. He was here talking to an intern when he could be talking to his best friend. But, thats the problem. April said that they couldn't be friends anymore. He so wanted too but she just wasn't ready. Which he was but he wasn't all at the same time.
"Did you hear what I just said?"
Jackson looked at Stephanie. He didn't hear a word he was just thinking about April more and more. Which was odd. She was supposed to come with Shane but Shane was talking to Jo. Jo was supposed to be Alex's date but Alex said no.
"Um No. Sorry I have something on my mind."
"It fine. Do you want to talk about it?"
Before Jackson could say anything Jo came up and grabbed Stephanie by the arm.
"Steph lets go to the bar!"
"Jo I can't Im here with a date."
"Its fine you can go." Jackson said.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, you should have fun."
Stephanie smiled and ran with Jo to the bar like little school girls. Which is also a problem. Stephanie isn't mature like April. Jackson went to a table and sat down next to Meredith who was drinking at least her 3rd glass of wine.
"Mer wanna lay off the wine."
"Don't tell me what to do Avery." She chuckled.
"Well, this blows. Where's Alex and Cristina?"
"I have no idea. Where's April?"
"I um I don't know."
"Whats going on between you two."
"Nothing."
"Shut up, you can tell me. Who am I going to tell."
"The whole hospital." He chuckled.
"Haha, shut up, tell me."
"Well, you know the pregnancy scare. (Mer nodded) Well, before we knew if she really was we both thought she was pregnant for sure. I kind of just started thinking. SHe was freaking out about the thing because she broke her promise to jesus and now she might have a baby without a husband. So I was thinking, April is my best friend and I could see her being a mother. Not just any mother but, the mother of my baby. I knew she wouldn't do this without us being married. So, I thought we could get married. But, I wanted to marry her for more not just because she's pregnant and its the right thing to do but because..."
"You love her."
"I love her."
"Well, what happened next?"
"I suggested it to April and she liked the idea. She really liked it. (Jackson smiled to himself). But, once we found out she wasn't pregnant she kept on thanking god. She said thank you god now we don't have to get married. And that hurt me because I wanted to marry her badly. So, we kind of, well I kind of broke up with her."
Meredith didn't say anything but hit Jackson in the back of them head.
"Ow! What was that for?"
"You are so stupid."
"No I'm not she was thanking god that she didn't have to marry me."
"You are stupid! Jackson you know April. She's your best friend right? (He nodded). She might even be your person."
"She is."
"Right well, the reason she was happy was because she's April. She knows you. She knows that you really aren't the type of guy to settle down and be tied down with a baby right after a 10 minute marriage ceremony. She knows that you wouldn't want this. Well, at least right now. She was thanking god because she's traditional. She wants a boyfriend for while then a beautiful proposal in front of people her co workers, her friends. She wants to have a couple of months to plan the wedding of her dreams. She wants to have a beautiful wedding in front of everyone she cares about and loves. She at least wants to be married for a year or two before she tries to have a baby. Does this sound like April to you?"
"Yeah, it does."
"During this whole thing and while you breaking up with her did you even think about what she might even want?"
"Oh god, I didn't."
"So the real question is why the hell did you break up with her just because she was happy she didn't have to tie you down?"
"I um-"
"And why the hell are you here with an intern that you probably won't even want to get to know?"
"April set me up with her."
"Why the hell would you even agree to it! Jackson you are so stupid! But-"
"I know I am! Alright! I screwed up the only thing I cared about in my life. I ruined my friendship with April. She was my best friend! My Person! I ruined the love of my life!"
Everyone just stared at Jackson. He was practically screaming. Everybody stared. Including Stephanie. When she heard Jackson say April was the love of his life, her little crush on him shattered. She just walked out of the building Shane quickly following behind. Jo stayed at the bar finding what Jackson said romantic. Jackson stood up and turned around. He stopped dead in his tracks. April was standing right there with Alex by her side. She had heard everything that Meredith said. She said everything right about her. April wanted all of those things. And, she also heard what Jackson said. Jackson loves her. Jackson Avery loves April Kepner she kept on thinking.
"April.." Jackson whispered.
April did nothing but do the only thing she wanted to do when he broke up with her. She slapped him square on his cheek. She heard a couple of gasps and her cheeks flushed because people were looking but she didn't care. Jackson touched his cheek and looked at her with those beautiful eyes.
"Okay, I deserved that."
"You did! But, you deserve this too."
April grabbed Jackson's face and planted a kiss on his soft lips. It felt like no one else was there. The hard kiss turned into a soft passionate kiss. Jackson wrapped his arms around her skinny waist. They soon pulled away once they realized there was at least 120 watching. They honestly didn't care. They stared into each other's eyes. With love.
I know I said there was going to be jealous Jackson in this chapter but I wanted to work that into a different chapter. So yay! April and Jackson are together! Well sorta? Read more chapters to find out! Review!
