Meant to Be

Chapter 24

April Pov:

Yesterday night I got a call for a major accident. In fact, all residents were called. And I was once again hoping to meet Lexie, maybe she answer the call, and go to the hospital. Of course, my wishes did not come true. I tried calling, writing, writing my friend's voicemail, same Karev and Avery.

I guess I am worrying more and more every hour. I know she's an adult and she'll be fine. I know she has money, a phone and if something happened she would call us quickly, but I'm still all stressed. It's a few days after a very emotional break-up and I don't know how she's doing, she doesn't write back to me, so I don't even know if she's happy or crying at night. I would cry after breaking up with a boy like that.

Euuuhh! It sounded like I liked Mark Sloan! Never in my life! He's handsome, but I'll leave him for Lexie. My point was, if I had a boyfriend, that's what I would do. Uhh! Relationships and everything around them are complicated.

During all my deep reflections, I stood leaning against the reception desk in the main hall, waiting for someone to call me. What I felt would happen soon, because our work does not have free time to breathe.

- "Hey April!" - said Jackson, who had just come in and stood on the other side of the desk, allowing me to look at his pretty face. Quit Kepner you're at work, be decent (but I guess you can't)

- "Hi Jackson"- I replied, as if I didn't care about his presence, but really did, a lot. Ohh how I would love to stick to his sexy lips.

- "How are you?"- He asked, giving me an inquisitive smile.

- "What could be? I'm at work and I'm enjoying the moment of peace and quiet," - I continued, pretending to be indifferent. Ahh how hard it is! Why must you have such beautiful eyes?

- "So you say I'm disturbing you? Am I disturbing your peace?" - He asked, sending me another sexy look. Does he want me to end up hanging around his neck, stuck to her like an anteater?

- "Yes of course!" - I said in sarcasm

- "I'll stay then. So you wouldn't be lonely in your piece" - he replied and winked at me.

- "Thanks! I was already afraid I wouldn't have anyone to talk to. It's good that you showed up," - I said. No, April he showed up like your prince.

- "Any word from Lexie?" - He asked after a moment – "My phone is empty in this way".

- "What? From Lexie?" - I asked thoughtfully.

Suddenly I got a notification that I got a message. I unlocked my phone as soon as possible, hoping it might be Lexie this time. What I saw, I couldn't see.

- "Yes! She wrote back!" - I shouted - "I'm sorry!" - I added when I realized that I was being a little too loud and we were in the hospital.

I immediately started reading the message. It was very surprising. I honestly expected a little different content than the one that appeared. It directed me to deep thoughts.

Hey April! This is Lexie. But you probably know that. I've been thinking a lot about... .. you and Jackson and I think you should ...... confess your love to him. You know, say I love you and all that stupid stuff. And remember, no matter what, remember your love for him. Go Girl!

Ummm. I can't believe it anymore. My best friend thinks I should talk to the boy I've liked for years. And as we know, friends know each other best. But am I brave enough to do this? That is the question. As we know, sometimes I know how to pique others, but I am very shy every day and I try not to get into conflicts and problems. And if Jackson doesn't feel the same and laughs at me, it will definitely cause some problems and make us not feel so comfortable in our company anymore.
