April spent all day in the ER assisting patients as everyone waited for the chief to wake up. She had a lot on her mind and work always calmed her down. After the day she had, she needed to calm down. Right then Matthew walked in the ER and as soon as she noticed him she approached him.

"Um can I talk to you?" April asked feeling bad for Matthew.

"Sure" Matthew responded as he pulled her aside.

"Today was a hard day for me. Jackson almost died and -"

"Yea I know you feel bad about your best friend, but I'm here." He interrupted.

"No you're not listening to me. Matthew you're a really great guy and if life was a lot simpler I'm sure you'd be the perfect guy for me. But I can't marry you because it wouldn't be fair to you. You deserve someone who wants you as much as you want them." Matthew was hurt. She could tell by his expression.

"Okay well we don't have to get married right now, we could keep dating." Matthew responded.

"That wouldn't be fair to you either. I'm in love with Jackson and I don't see that going away anytime soon. I'm sorry." April genuinely was sorry. Here she had the perfect guy that she had to let go because she was still in love with somebody who didn't want her.

"Jackson? You guys were together? You accepted my proposal and now you tell me. I thought you were different April."

"You're going to find someone who thinks you're the best thing that ever happened to them. That puts up with the little things that everyone else gets annoyed by. Someone who doesn't want anyone but you." She said as a tear came down the corner of her eyes. What she really meant was he'd be lucky to find someone that makes him feel the way she feels about Jackson.

Matthew was hurt but he wasn't the type to hold grudges. Instead of starting an argument, he gave her a hug and wished her well like the gentlemen she knew he was.

April had yet to see Meredith since she gave birth. She had been preoccupied with her worry about the chief and her love life. She walked into Meredith's room and saw her with baby Bailey.

"Well aren't you the cutest thing." She said in a baby voice.

"He won't smile, maybe it's because he thinks I'm going to be a terrible mother." Meredith said.

"He's a baby! And you're going to be a great mother. Look at that - you and Shepherd being a happy couple."

"Speaking of - congratulations on your engagement. Finally found someone as dorky as you." Meredith laughed.

"Actually, um I don't think I'm engaged anymore." April said awkwardly.

"Why is that?"

"Because I kind of just broke up with him." April responded as Meredith smiled knowingly. "Why are you smiling? You really are dark and twisty." April said when she noticed Meredith was smiling because her and Matthew broke up.

"You miss hooking up with Avery huh? Great maybe you could make him a little less grumpy." Meredith replied.

"Meredith! There will be none of that. Besides he doesn't want me."

"Oh April, he'll come around." Meredith said unsure of whether she was giving April false hope or not. Right then the door opened, it was Derek.

"Well I'll be on my way. Congratulations guys." April said as she walked out. As she closed the door and turned around, she bumped into Jackson.

"Can you watch where you're going?" He said as he walked by April. April was about to let that go but it infuriated her that Jackson was acting the way he was. April turned around and walked towards Jackson.

"What is your problem?" April asked him.

"You. Everywhere I go, there you are." Jackson responded.

"You know what Jackson, you said you didn't want me - great. But there's no reason for you to act like a jerk every chance you get. We were friends before all of this." April said as she felt defeated.

"You know April, you were relieved when you weren't pregnant by me. Relieved because you didn't have to marry me. And now you expect me to just be with you? I know you're used to getting what you want, but this.. This won't be one of those things." He let out.

"It wasn't like that at all. But I get it Jackson. I got you the first time, can you just move past it and stop being a jerk?" April said as her eyes got watery.

"Just leave me alone for a while okay?"

"Okay" April responded as she reminded herself it was time to let go of Jackson.
