"everybody moved on, I, I stayed there"
~~~~~
Madelyn is the last of the residents to finish her boards, at this moment, having to do it twice does not feel worth it even if it means she'll be double board certified. She felt like she was in hell, actual hell. Nothing in the world could ever prepare anyone for their oral boards.
She joins Jackson, Meredith, Cristina and April who are all sat on the ground looking just as defeated as the Shepherd girl feels.
As soon as she's close enough for them to notice she's walking over April immediately throws her arms around Madelyn's neck, who instantly snakes her arms around the redheads waist.
"Woah" Madelyn says as she steadies herself, taken back by the sudden embrace
Madelyn looks over at Meredith and Cristina who are both giving her a weird look, confused by Aprils behaviour. She just smiles at them, still holding April in her arms, rubbing her back soothingly.
Meredith is the first to make conversation "That was hell" she says "Actual physical hell"
"I think I went a tad overboard" Cristina says "A lot overboard" she corrects
"They took something from me" Madelyn says
Jackson agrees "Yeah, that wasn't an exam. That was an interrogation"
"Like, way... way overboard" Cristina says muttering to herself
"The mind games" April says turning around to face the others but still standing in Madelyn's arms
"Trick questions" Mer mutters
"It felt like Al Qaeda in there" Jackson says
"Next test is June" Madelyn says
Cristina looks up at her "June's not bad"
"2013" Madelyn adds
"Oh"
"What's done is done. Let's just not even talk about it anymore" Jackson says followed by a long silence
Madelyn leans down slightly moving a strand of Aprils hair and tucking it behind the girls ear, she then whispers softly "Are you okay?"
April turns her head slightly "Yeah, I-I feel...amazing" she whispers back
Madelyn smiles at the girl's response and places a delicate kiss on the side of Aprils head, wrapping her arms tighter around her torso "Me too" she whispers back
"Anyone know how Alex did?" Mer asks bringing Madelyn and April back to reality
"Anyone know if Alex made it?" April replies
"Made it? What do you mean, made it?"
