Jackson walked through the door of his apartment after a very long day at work. Stephanie wanted to come with him but he was just too tired. It's been four weeks since the wedding. April came back from her honeymoon a week ago and seemed happy. Jackson was happy for her even though he was in love with her, but he kept his mouth shut and had an ok time at the wedding.

A knock on the door drove Jackson out of his thoughts and went to open it, it was April soaked to the bone. She didn't look like herself though, she was looking to the ground and had a hood over her head. Most of all she shaking all over.

Jackson grabbed her and pulled her into his dark apartment, "What is it?"

"H-h-h-e-e" She stopped talking and Jackson turned on the kitchen light. April turned around quickly so he couldn't see her.

"April let me see you."

Painfully she quietly whispers, "No."

"Take off the damn hood or I will." April makes no movement and Jackson walks in front of her unzipping the coat and taking it off.

He first sees her wrist, there's a bruise already forming and it's in the shape of a hand. Next is her shoulder it's covered in bruises. Her cheek was more bruised then her shoulder and her eye was black and blue. There was a cut above her eyebrow with dry blood.

Jackson gently lowered her on to the couch and moved her arms away from her side, "Can i?" April nods and doesn't look at him. Jackson grabs her soaked top and lifts it up to see bruises on her ribs. He wants to kill Matthew but if he leaves her, she would break down.

April sighs and looks into his eyes, "I'm ok."

"What happened?" Jackson demands.

"We got in a fight. I won't sleep with him and he got mad. I don't blame him. Matthew slapped me, I didn't realize how close I was to the stairs and I fell down them, he grabbed me but I shook him off and came here."

Jackson holds in his anger, "I'm going to give you some of my clothes and then were going to the hospital." April just nods and the tears go down her face.

Jo and Alex are the first ones to see them. April buries her face in Jackson's side but they can still see some of the bruises. Jo knows what April was feeling and hoped she kicked Matthew's ass.

April sat down on the hospital bed as Jackson checked her over and started to tape her ribs up, "You have three broken ribs." April nods but says nothing, "You got anywhere to stay tonight?" She shakes her head no and feels the pain begin to go away. "You'll stay with me." He wasn't asking her, he was telling her.

April's green eyes widen and she gasps, "Jackson it's Matthew, please don't do anything." Jackson isn't listening he's walking up to the man.

Matthew sees Jackson and goes to tell him what happened but Jackson isn't interested. Jackson punches him in the face making him go down. He doesn't stop, he keeps punching till Alex, Owen, and Derek pulls him off Matthew. Meredith and Callie are there helping a bleeding Matthew up and he walks out of the hospital.

April holds her breath and waits for one of them to come for her. The curtain draws back and it's Jackson. "You're ok?" April grabs his hand checks him over.

"I'm fine, he didn't even touch me. Are you ok?"

April looks down at their intertwined hands, "Yeah I'm great."
