Here's My Resolution.
An Izzie and Alex fic.
Summary: Alex and Izzie had always had their disputes; that was normal considering their sexual tension. They would usually fight in the morning, ignore each other during the workday and engage in make up sex by nighttime. But why was this time so different; why did he end up betraying her?

Chapter 1. Does Anyone Really Deserve It?
Izzie woke up to the annoying chirping of birds and the overly bright sun piercing her eyelids. She yawned, stretched and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. It wasn't until she looked in her dresser mirror to gaze at her puffy, red eyes that she remembered what had happened the night before.
It was a Saturday and she didn't have to be at the hospital until one for her shift. Izzie fixed her messy bun into a more pleasant one, slipped on her blue sweat pants and pulled her tight-fitting, long-sleeve T over her head. She then proceeded into the kitchen of her and Alex's apartment.
Just her luck; Alex was awake and sitting at their small kitchen nook. She sighed, rubbed her forehead and proceeded to the coffee maker. Her and Alex had ended their last night brawl on an awkward note. She could feel his eyes on her back, waiting for her to turn around and talk to him.
"Well, I think last night was the first night we didn't have a hot night of make-up sex" he chuckled, a bit awkwardly.
Izzie rolled her eyes while her back was turned; she quickly turned around the face him, the hot coffee in her hand. Leaning against the counter, she placed the bottom of the cup in her palm as she talked.
"You can't be serious" she said, staring him up and down. "You expect me to sleep with you after what you did to me? I can't even be in the same room with you, let alone sleep in the same bed as you" she shook her head. "It's not even worth it." Izzie could feel her voice break with her last phrase. She could feel the tears coming again; she made a quick exit.
Hours passed as Izzie schlepped around in her bed, changing the channels of her TV frequently. If it hadn't been for Meredith's call from the hospital ranting about how Mark was after her again, Izzie would've been late to work.
"I swear I can't shake him. Ever since he found out Derek and I took a break, he's been after me non-stop. Izzie? Are you listening to me?"
Izzie had not been paying attention to what Meredith had to say; she was too busy thinking about the drama in her own life.
Meredith took a seat next to her and placed a hand on the top part of her back. She rubbed lightly and kissed Izzie's forehead. Izzie could no longer hold back the tears. "I'm so sorry he cheated. You didn't deserve that."
"Does anybody ever deserve it Merr, really?" Izzie snapped back, a little too harshly than she intended.
Just then, the door of the staff locker room swung open and in came Christina, George and Alex. They didn't notice Meredith and Izzie until after they turned around from their lockers. Izzie and Alex locked eyes momentarily; everyone could feel the tension. After their locked gaze was broken with Christina's usual sarcastic remark, Izzie wiped her tear-stained cheeks and shut her locker. She scampered out of the locker room without another word.
Everyone stared after her. Christina was the one who decided to break the awkwardness. It was too bad she said the wrong thing.
"Wow Alex, you really messed up this time."
Upon hearing this, Alex slammed his locker shut and began his first run of the day.
