Two sides of the same coin

Chapter Seven: Two sides of the same coin

"The truth is, I miss lying in those arms of his but I don't ever let it show. I'd laugh and I'd act like I'm having the time of my life as far he knows - its easy going out on Friday nights. Easy, every time I see him out, I can smile, live it up the way a single girl does but what he don't know is how hard it is to make it look so easy..." Easy by Rascal Flats feat. Natasha Bedingfield

They say that there are always two sides in a story; Jackson spent the last 4 years pinning over a love he thought he lost because of his indecisiveness and omissions. April on the other hand - wait, what was she up to again?

oOo

April peered inside her husband's room; "Jackson?"

Jackson turned on his side, his eyes half open; "Hmmmnnn..."

April pushed the door wider and stepped into the room; "I have to go, I need to be at the hospital by 7"

Jackson rubbed the sleep from his eyes; "Hospital?" he rasped out.

"Yep, it's my first day back at work" April replied. "Your breakfast is warming inside the oven and lunch is in the fridge - just pop it inside the microwave."

"Thanks"

"I have to go, call me if you need anything okay?"

Jackson let out a small smile; "I will, thanks again"

April threw Jackson an amused look; "You don't have to keep thanking me, you know"

"I know that but I want to"

April shook her head; "Fine. I'll go now, see you later" she said as she turn on her heel.

"Drive safely" Jackson said.

"Will do, bye!"

Jackson shifted on his back as the door closes; he fixed his gaze on the ceiling and sighed. "I hate being indisposed"

oOo

"Good morning!"

Alex wrinkled his nose; "Oh god, here she goes"

"Morning Apes" Lexie replied.

April placed her bag on top of the table, a large smile brightening her face; "I've missed this, I still can't believe I'm back" she exclaimed.

"Being perky at this hour should be illegal - the day hasn't officially started yet and you're already giving me a headache" Alex grumbled.

April plopped down on the empty chair beside Alex; "Who pissed on your cheerios? Why are you being so - Karev?"

"Ha ha, very funny" Alex replied sarcastically.

"His patient coded in the middle of night so he got called in, he's been here since 3 A.M - hence, the grumpy mood" Lexie said as she shrugs her labcoat on.

"Aaawwww..."

"Shut up" Alex snapped. He then stood up from his perch and began stretching his arms up; "If anyone asks, I'm off to the sleeping lounge."

"Roger that" April said perkily.

Alex rolled his eyes as he silently exited the room.

"I don't need to remind you where to get some scrubs suits, right?"

"Nope, I'm all good - thank you though"

Lexie smiled; "I need to get going, coffee later?"

"You bet" April replied.
