I wish that I could see you again, I know that I can't

Ben's dead.

That's all in April's mind. She wants to drink. She wants, for the first time in ages, to be high, high as a paper kite, so she doesn't have to think. But she can't. And she can't bring herself to be broken on JD right now, because he's broken, and she feels so amazingly guilty that she can't be there for him, but it hurts too much

Here, April, someone who will completely understand.

She's actually just come from the event herself, having meant to go into the oncall room, but found herself here of all places.

Seeing her friend (and sucking up her own sorrow because she knows April is hurting more) she moves to stand beside the chair and place a hand against her blanketed shoulder.

"Hey, chica..." A small, sad smile is given and there will be hugging, if at all possible.

[fallen_april]

April untangles herself from the blanket enough to wrap her arms around Carla.

Clinging is all that's necessary for a moment.

"How's Dr. Cox? How's Jordan, does Jordan know?"

Oh, April.

[so_dominican]

Oh, clinging is welcome. It's almost necessary for her, too.

"Dr. Cox... he's..." He's reacted just as he should, if not worse. And Jordan, goodness, she doesn't even know. Even her whole mind is a blur. "He's taking it pretty hard..."

She won't lie, even if it's what her friend needs to hear.

She pets her friend's hair comfortingly.

She sighs a little. "Yeah. God, I can't... I can't imagine how hard it is for them."

Even though she's hurting a lot. Probably close to as much as they are. Not exactly as much, of course, but... she attaches to certain people quickly. And deeply. She tends to give her whole heart to people she really cares about. And so it hurts when she loses them.

"Everyone's going to need some time to get over this," She mumbles and hugs the girl tightly once more.

"But lets work on you, all right, sweetie?" Carla is hurting, too, and maybe, somehow, they could help eachother?

"Do I need to pull out a movie and a few cartons of icecream? " She teases lightly, if only to coax a smile from the girl.

[fallen_april]

April smiles, a tiny bit, crookedly. It doesn't quite reach her eyes, but it's there. "I think... a movie and ice cream might be a good idea. Maybe two movies."

[so_dominican]

And with that, she'll think up a small televistion right in front of them before the icecream is thought up as well.

"Why don't you pick the movie, hm?" Even if it was a sappy love story that would make them both sob like fools, it might be something they're both needing.
