When April was eight she went to school and church. Her father taught her and her sisters the importance of corn and farming. Her mother helped everyone with their homework and taught them how to cook. For Christmas she got her first little red notebook.
When Jackson was eight his father left and never came back. His mother didn't cry but Jackson did, wondering why he left them. They had dinner with Grandpa Avery every Sunday instead of going to church. At the dinner table Jackson took in every single word his Grandpa said. Jackson knew he wanted to be a doctor.
At age thirteen April was called Ducky. Her sisters came up with it over summer. Somehow school found out and soon everyone was calling her it. On her little red book it had tear marks from the bullying. She didn't have friends, everyone thought she was annoying. April decides she wants to be a doctor. Her parents promise they'll support her. She can't wait to get out of the small town she grew up in.
At age thirteen Jackson was starting to play football. He also was starting to catch the attention of girls. He tells his mother he wants to be a doctor. Nobody pushes him so… he pushes himself. All A's, his GPA is a 4.0. His teachers are even surprised, pretty rich boy actually trying to pass. He can't wait to get away from everyone.
Junior prom, April is seventeen. The captain of the football team asks her out. How cliché, they have a good time. Then he drives them to the lake, a place where couples would go to lose their virginities. He kisses her and tries to take her dress off but she stops him. The next week she finds out it was a dare to see if he could corrupt one of the Virgin Mary sisters. All look but no touch.
Junior prom, Jackson is seventeen. He was there for 5 minutes and then left for a party. The two girls suggest it and Jackson wasn't stupid. How many guys could say they lost their virginity during a threesome? Sarah and Penny left him alone afterwards. He felt accomplished and couldn't figure out what the big fuss was about. It felt great and he just couldn't understand why someone would wait.
Nineteen, April is studying her ass off. She goes to therapy to fix her feet and dyes her hair brown. Her parents didn't approve of her nose job but she didn't listen. The acne is gone and she wears contacts. YouTube helps her learn how to use makeup and have perfect eye liner. She isn't Ducky anymore.
Nineteen, Jackson is studying his ass off. He passes every single class. When he has time off he workouts, sleeps, parties. Jackson also avoids his mother and doesn't tell his family that he's dead set on becoming a doctor. He isn't going to be Pretty Boy anymore.
Twenty four, April walks in Mercy West excited for the first day. Her locker is by a pixie like girl, Reed. There's a gigantic man that thinks he's funny, Charles. Then there's Jackson Avery. She smiles at him and starts talking about his family. He gets wide eyes and asks her not to tell anyone. His secret is safe with her.
Twenty four, Jackson walks in Mercy West excited for the first day. Charles talks his ear off about how cute Reed is. Then a brunette comes in and smiles at Jackson. She starts to talk about how awesome it must be that his Grandpa is Harper Avery. Jackson gets nervous, nobody was supposed to know. She quickly reassures him and introduces herself as April Kepner.
Thirty Two.
He's a husband.
She's a wife.
He's a father.
She's a mother.
Both completely intertwined in each others lives.
