So, I am new to FanFiction. This is my first story ever. I am a huge fan of Grey's Anatomy and love the storyline right now between Jackson and April, so I thought I would try to write one. Hope you guys like it!
Jackson knew that going to this dinner was a bad idea. He felt bad for Chief Webber because he had been really excited about this dinner all day. Even during surgery he said that he was "jazzed about dinner". As the night went on, Jackson was beginning to grow jealous of Meredith and Cristina. Where were they? He knew that Chief Webber wanted to include the twisted sisters, but they were running awfully late.
"So Karev, are you excited about working at John Hopkins" asked Chief Webber.
"Um...Yeah, very excited" responded Karev.
"That's good…good, they um have a great fellowship program there" replied the Chief.
Great…this dinner turned out to be just great, Jackson thought. Jackson still felt weird around Chief because he slept with his mom.
"What about you Jackson… are you excited about Tulane?" Chief asked.
"Ahh yup… I am very eager to start" was all Jackson could get out.
"Good, very good…" Chief replied. Jackson could tell that he was trying to make conversation so that the night wasn't so awkward.
The Chief's phone then began to ring. Jackson could tell that he was happy to get a phone call. Anything was better than just sitting here.
"Oh, it's Dr. Hunt, I should pick this up, I will be right back" Chief said as he backed out of his chair and walked toward the door outside.
"This night freakin sucks" said Karev once Chief was outside.
"Yeah, where are Meredith and Cristina?" asked Jackson.
"I don't know, I bet they are almost here" said a positive April.
"Well they need to hurry up, I want this dinner to be done already. I'll be right back, I gotta take a piss" said Alex.
"Um…ok" April said while looking at Jackson disgusted. "A little too much information Alex".
Alex just smirked at April and headed to the restroom. This left Jackson and April alone at the table. Jackson has felt awkward around April ever since he took her virginity the weekend of the boards. Although Jackson had a great time, he knew that April felt guilty about it. And to make matters worse, April failed her boards and refused to talk to him about their night together. Before they left for the dinner tonight, Jackson told April that he chose Tulane. She was of course proud of him because they were best friends, but when she told Jackson that she was happy for him, he felt hurt. He knew that she was just being supportive, but he wanted her to be upset or something. He knew that he was going to miss her like hell and it hurt him to see that she was so happy. He felt a spark the two times they were together and did not know if she felt the same way. She has been such a great friend to him for years and he trusted her completely. Deciding to leave was such a hard choice for him to make, but he knew that it was the right thing to do.
Because he felt this way and could not hold his feelings in anymore, he told her how he really felt. He remembered their conversation earlier…I feel sick by the way. Sick to leave here, to leave you, but I'm so glad you're so freakin happy about it.
When he said this he let everything out in the air. He wanted her to know exactly how he felt. When she replied to him he was shocked. She let him know exactly how she felt too. She was not happy because she was not the person she thought she was. She told him that she loved having sex with him because it changed her, but she was not happy that she wouldn't be a virgin for the man she was going to marry. She also didn't want him to feel bad about it because he was her best friend. She realized that her problems are her problems and they are not going away. She was also sad that Jackson was leaving in a few weeks and she might not ever see him again. So she said that for tonight she wanted to forget about all of her problems and just be happy. Because of this conversation earlier, he wanted to ignore their problems and be happy.
"So tonight is going well" Jackson said sarcastically.
"It's not so bad" replied April who was trying to be positive.
"April, this dinner freakin sucks, just admit it" Jackson laughed.
"It does, it's so bad; there is nothing for anyone to talk about" April laughed. "You know Chief is just really excited about this dinner because of Meredith, and it is just awkward because she isn't here".
"You got that right" Jackson said as he moved a stray piece of April's hair behind her ear.
"Umm….thanks" April said turning beat red.
"No problem" Jackson said looking into her eyes deeply.
April moved uncomfortably in her chair and began rambling nervously, "So Tulane… you know that I am very proud of you. Tulane has a great program and you are going to do great there, I really believe that you will".
"Thanks April, that's very nice of you to say" Jackson replied as he took a sip of his drink.
"Being happy remember" April said playfully.
"Of course, you excited to be going home" Jackson asked.
"Um… yeah, I'll be able to see my family and help with the farm and stuff" April said as she took a large swig of her drink. Jackson knew she was trying to hide her disappointment.
"Hey" Jackson said getting April's attention. "You know that this is just a minor setback. Next year you are going to rock your boards and receive offers from every high ranking hospital" Jackson said kindly. He wanted her to remember that she was still a great doctor.
"So Ohio and Tulane aren't really near each other" April said ignoring the subject. "I expect you to call me all the time even though you are going to be very busy kicking ass!" April was trying to make light of the sensitive subject.
"Not really a phone call kind of guy April" joked Jackson as he continued drinking.
"Jackson you better keep in touch!" April said as she hit him playfully on his arm.
"Hey!" Jackson laughed almost spitting his drink all over the table. "I'm only kidding. Of course I am going to keep in touch, you're really important to me". Jackson said waiting for April's reaction.
April just smiled and looked away.
Chief then came back to the table looking worried.
"Is everything okay Chief?" April asked.
Chief sat back down in his chair and looked at his residents. Alex had just returned to his seat moments ago. The Chief was still gripping his cell phone. He placed his hands down uncomfortably on the table and spoke. "The plane never made it to Boise Memorial".
