"What's got you in another world today?" Sloan asked annoyed as he picked the xrays that belonged to a patient he was treating. Jackson didn't answer, he just stood starring at the xray, well not at the xray, basically through the xray and to the wall.

"Jackson" Sloan growled, still not grabbing his attention. "Dr Avery!" Sloan shouted before he whacked Jackon over the back of the head with his hand

"Hmm..What, sorry?" Jackson asked, coming out of his daze. Sloan raised his eyebrow and sighed

"I know that look. That's a girl issue look, Avery I thought you weren't having girl problems till after your boards" Sloan said sternly

Jackson shook his head, "Not a girl issue" he said trying to brush Mark of his case

"So...Who is it?" Mark asked

"Who's what?" Jackson asked vaguely

"Who's the girl that's got you in such a state that you can't focus on your work?" Sloan asked

Jackson sighed, "It's not a girl problem. I'm worried about April" Jackson admited

"Kepner?" Sloan asked, lightly laughing "You're crushing on your bestfriend?"

"I am not crushing on April" Jackson said trying to defend himself "I was up with her all night" He added

Sloan's eyes widened "You had sex with Kepner?" he asked

"No!" Jackson shouted angered. "I didn't she was vomiting, so I sat with her and then we kind of fell asleep together.."

"You took advantage when she was sick?" Sloan asked, sounding slightly shocked at what he thought Avery had done.

Jackson turned and look at him, "No I didn't have sex with her, I didn't take advantage of her. When I was lying with her all these emotions that have been happening lately got stronger." Jackson said, he sighed and rubbed his head. "I...I think I'm falling in love with my bestfriend" he added, looking up at Sloan

"Mmm" Mark sighed "But really...Kepner?" he added, pushing Jackson that little bit too far.

Jackson gave him a glare and pulled out his phone, beginning to walk off. He searched through his contacts till Meredith's name appeared on the phone he pressed call and held it up to his ear.

"She's asleep Jackson" Meredith said as she noticed Jackson's I.D and had a fair idea of why he was calling

"Oh.." Jackson said, feeling slightly embarrassed "Is she okay?"

"She's been asleep since you've left Jackson" Meredith told him

Jackson sighed, "Well shouldn't you wake her up, just incase-"

"No" Meredith started, she took the phone in the other hand and put Zola down in her playpen "I'm not going and waking her up"

"But what if-" Jackson started to say

"Goodbye Jackson" Meredith said ending the conversation. Jackson sighed, he was going to feel bad for taking this step, but he wanted to hear her voice so desperately and to make sure she was okay.

Jackson typed in Aprils number and held the phone up to his ear, he heard the dial tone, just before message bank was about to kick in, she answered. "Hello?" She asked groggily, hardly above a whisper

"Oh, April. I'm so sorry did I wake you?" Jackson asked, fully knowing that he did wake her up

"No, no. I was awake" Came Aprils quiet and sweet reply. He could of sworn he heard her let out a deep sigh

"Are you okay?" Jackson asked worried, feeling bad that he wasn't there for her

"Mmm. Yeah" April said un surely, placing her phone on her pillow and lying back down to listen to Jacksons voice.

"Do you want me to get Meredith up with you?" Jackson asked worried

"No..."April replied quietly as she slowly started to fall asleep

Jackson stood their listening to Aprils soft breathing, he heard that breathing all night, he knew she was slowly falling back to sleep. "I'll see you later tonight" he said before he hung up the phone

Jackson walked into the house and up the stairs, heading straight for April. "I checked on her about fifteen minutes ago, she said she felt worse, she's got a bit of a fever" Meredith explained as she came out from the corner and walked towards Jackson

"Shit" Jackson sighed rubbing his hand over his head

"She's been asking for you too" Meredith said smiling, Jackson looked up, a small smile on his face.

"Really?" He asked. Meredith nodded and pointed to the door, insisting that he go in.

Jackson nodded and smiled before opening the door and heading into the dark room, he gently took a seat beside her, gently rubbing her hair back. She slowly opened her eyes, "Your home" She smiled

Jackson smiled back, "Sure am and now I'm with my favourite person"

April smiled and began to sit up, Jackson helped her. He put his hand up to her forehead, "You're still burning up"

April shrugged, "I think I should take you to get a blood work up done" Jackson told her

April shook her head, "No, I'm fine. Really I am" she tried to explain.

"Do you want to study?" April asked Jackson, smiling slightly

Jackson sighed, " I don't think you should study, you need to rest up. Get better, then we can study"

"But, I need to study or else I'll fail" April said sadly, she looked up at him with puppy dog eyes, Jackson knew he couldn't say no

He let out a deep breath, "Fine" he agreed. April smiled and thanked him while she watched him pick up all the books and files stacked in one corner.

Jackson picked them up and carried them onto the bed, he sat them in between both of them as he joined her under the sheets. April picked up one of her books and began reading it, she could feel Jackson's eyes on her, but she didn't want to look up.

She finally looked up and laughed lightly, "What are you looking at, I know I look horrible.."

Jackson smiled, "I still think you look beautiful" he said. April blushed, and pulled a stray hair back behind her ear. "Hey, April?" Jackson asked

"Yeah?" April yawned looking up at him. Jackson sat there not sure whether to tell her or not. "Jackson?" She asked grabbing his attention. "What is it you want to tell me ?" She added

Jackson shook his head, "Uh...Never mind, I forgot" He lied, covering up his previous actions.

He really wanted to tell her, he was borderline telling her. But was now the right time when he was lying next to his bestfriend, the bestfriend he was slowly falling in love with. He looked back over and closed the book she was reading.

"April...I think I'm falling in love with you"
