Drabble #11 - Hi :) I love your drabbles! Could you write something where April's on the plane crash instead of Arizona/Meredith? Thank you :)
Meredith, Jackson, and Alex sat in the restaurant with Dr. Webber waiting for the arrival of their other fellow residents. They were going to celebrate the completion of their residency but the others had not yet returned from their trip to separate conjoined twins.
Jackson and Alex were growing hungry and Meredith was beginning to worry. She figured she would have at least heard from them since they left.
Jackson didn't want to admit it but he couldn't stop thinking about April. He really wanted to talk to her about everything that happened in San Francisco. He hoped to talk to her when they returned to Seattle but she left before he had any chance to.
The group made small talk but they really just wanted to get the meal over with. No one was particularly eager to take part in Webber's ritual.
Suddenly Webber's phone went off, turning everyone's attention to him. He quietly answered his phone and quickly his face grew tense.
"Hunt, are you sure?" Webber asked, making everyone curious what was going on. "I'll be right back," he told the group, excusing himself from the table.
Moments later he returned to the table with a somber look on his face. "The plane never made it to Boise," he began, "They believe the plane went down in Idaho."
"Oh no," Meredith gasped. Her husband, sister, and best friend were on board and she immediately feared the worst. Alex put his arm around her as she began to cry.
"April," Jackson breathed, unable to say anything else, still in shock by the news.
Alex tried to be the voice of reason, "Everyone will make it back." He rubbed Meredith's back to soothe her before turning to Jackson, "April is gonna come home."
