April stood at the bar to order another drink.
"What can I do for you dear?" Joe the bartender asked April.
"Vodka with ice please,"April said.
Jackson arrived at the bar. And do me another beer.
"As you wish," Joe said.
Joe grabbed the drinks for Jackson and April. April wanted to grab her money.
"This is on me, Jackson said," he grabbed his wallet and payed Joe. "keep the change."
"Thank you,' Joe said and he walked over to the other side of the bar the help other customers.
"Is this to make up for the virgin jokes?" April asked.
"Yeah, I'm really sorry about that April," Jackson said.
"You're supposed to be my friend and friends shouldn't make hurtful jokes about their friends," April said.
"I know, I was wrong," Jackson said.
"Why did you go along with making those jokes?" April asked.
"I don't really know, but I'm very sorry," Jackson said.
"I'm also sorry I brought up your nightmares," April said.
"I deserved that, Jackson said. "Is there anything else you would like?"
"I would actually like to punch you in the face, but I won't do that," April said.
Jackson couldn't help but chuckle a little. and thought to himself that he did deserve to get slapped in the face, April is his only friend left now and he should stand up for her instead of participating in making jokes.
"April I'm very sorry," Jackson said.
"It's okay, you don't have to say you're sorry anymore," April said.
"So we're good?" Jackson asked.
"Do you promise not to make any more virgin jokes?" April asked.
"I promise," Jackson said.
"Then I forgive you," April said.
"And April."
"Yeah?"
"You'll find that person," Jackson said.
"You think so?" April asked.
"Yes and whoever he is, he will be a very happy man when is with you and share that moment with you," Jackson said.
"Do you mean that?" April asked.
"Yes, I mean it," Jackson said. "And if the others are still going to bother you because whole virgin thing then I'm for you."
"You will?" April asked.
"Yes, because I'm your friend," Jackson said and he put his hand on April's shoulder.
"Thank you, Jackson," April said.
"Like Charles would say, Mercy West forever," Jackson said.
"Mercy West forver," April said.
Jackson and April toasted and then sipped their drinks. April put her glass down on the bar and walked away.
"Where are you going?" Jackson said.
"I really need to pee now," April said.
As April walked to the ladies' room, Alex came over to the bar.
"Where is our Holy Virgin going?" Alex asked.
"Dude, knock it off," Jackson said.
"Dude, it was just a joke," Alex said.
"It's not a funny joke," Jackson said.
"You were just joking too," Alex said.
"And that was wrong of me, you and the others are gonna stop making jokes and stop picking on April because she's a virgin," Jackson said.
"What's your deal all of a sudden?" Alex asked.
"I'm standing up for my friend, so if you're gonna bully April again, you will have to deal with me," Jackson said.
"What are going to do," Alex said.
"Well I'll punch in the face," Jackson said.
