slexie: survival of the plane crash ✈️ 💥

chapter 23- boards

pov: lexie

i walked out of the exam room after my third session and took a deal breath. i did well, i know i did. down the hall i saw april by the elevator. "april! hold it for me will you?" i yelled as i ran towards her. i felt a pop coming from my leg and then i was on the ground. april ran over to me.
"lexie are you okay!?" she asked.
"i-i'm okay. i think my leg broke off," i looked over at my prosthetic to see it broken in half.

april helped me get to the airport and we flew home together. "how's matthew?" i asked trying to lighten the mood.
"good i guess. i still can't believe i'm getting married! i mean look back at where we were a year ago. i was having pre-marital sex in a bathroom and failing my boards," she replied. i laughed.
"yeah and i was being crushed by a plane," i joked around. there was more turbulence. i grabbed her wrist tightly and i closed my eyes.

the screaming and the dying feeling came back. i had flashbacks to the nightmare i'd had last night. "you're okay lexie," i heard april say. the plane shook for about two minutes before it calmed down. april and i talked for the rest of the plane ride.
"so are you excited for the wedding?" i asked. she took a deep breath.
"honestly... i don't know. i think i may be in love with jackson," she answered. "but i'm probably just kidding myself."
"well that's what i thought about mark. when i was with jackson i told myself it wasn't real and that i was in love with jackson... and here we are," i told her.

the plane landed and mark, meredith, derek, and zola all greeted me at the airport.
"have you heard back yet?" meredith asked. i shook my head. just then my phone pinged.
"i spoke too soon," i said, checking my phone. i found my name and took a deep breath before looking at my results. "oh my god!" i yelled. "i passed!"
