Everyone's lives changed that night.
Izzie held Denny's lifeless body closer.
Meredith kissed Derek's lips harder.
Callie searched George's eyes harder.
Cristina held Burke's hand tighter.
Alex missed Izzie more.
Richard held his niece closer.
Addison's stomach sank lower.
Finn waited longer.
What I choose, is you.
"Why did you have to go?" Izzie whispered into Denny's shoulder. "Why did you leave me? We we're getting married."
You're who I wanna wake up with,
"Please, just wake up."
And go to bed with,
"I need you."
And do everything in between with.
"You don't get to die!"
I get a choice now.
"You don't get to leave me here, alone!"
I get to choose.
"So wake up, Denny!"
I choose you Izzie Stevens.
You think I want to look at you?
Derek ran his hands through Meredith's hair.
That I wouldn't rather be looking at my wife?
Meredith clutched at Derek's shirt.
I'm married.
Derek held Meredith's head in his hands
I have responsibilities.
Meredith ran her hands up Derek's chest.
She doesn't drive me crazy.
Derek slipped Meredith's stockings off.
She doesn't make it impossible for me to feel normal.
Meredith undid Derek's belt.
She doesn't make me sick to my stomach thinking about my veterinarian touching her with his hands.
"I missed you." Derek whispered into Meredith's hair.
Man, I would give anything to not be looking at you!
If I say it back right now, you know I'm just saying it because you said it to me.
"What do I have to do to make you love me?" Callie asked George.
When I say I love you,
"Am I not good enough for you?"
I want to mean it,
"Callie, you're perfect for me."
Because… you just have to give me some time to mean it.
I had an edge and I've lost it, and I need it.
"I'm here." Cristina whispered as she held Burke's hand.
I need it back.
"I'm not going anywhere."
So, if you could just tell me, how you keep yours and how not to be affected,
"I love you Preston."
I know I could be a great surgeon.
"I know." He smiled, before closing his eyes and breathing in her scent.
So if you could just give me the answers, I would really appreciate it
Izz, it's not Denny.
Alex sat in the entrance of Seattle Grace Hospital.
The minute his heart stopped beating, he stopped being Denny.
His whole life he'd never thought about anyone but himself.
I know you love him... but he also loved you.
He never knew what love was.
And a guy that loves you like that, he doesn't want you to do this to yourself.
Until he met Izzie Stevens.
Because it's not Denny, Not any more.
You're the reason my parents broke up.
Richard held his niece and danced in time with the music.
And it wasn't just an affair, she really loved you.
Holding her in his arms, he thought of Ellis Grey.
It wasn't just this cheap thing where she didn't tell you she was married.
He thought of the life they could have had.
It wasn't all a lie.
He thought of Adele.
She left her husband for you.
And the life they had.
But you stayed with your wife, because it was the right thing to do.
He remembered his wedding day.
Maybe safe, but she was the right person for you to be with.
He remembered the first time he kissed Ellis.
Let's face it, my mother?
He remembered what he'd lost.
Nothing wrong with being safe, being with the good guy because he's good and we are talking about forever here.
And what he'd gained.
You've never regretted your decision.
And he remembered the first time he held Camille in his arms.
You've never looked back... right?
I want you to care.
Addison knew Derek wasn't alone.
I sleep with your best friend, and you walk away.
She knew he was with her.
Then he comes out here from New York and rubs it in your face, and you still get a good night's sleep.
She wasn't stupid.
What do I have to do?
She knew she was wasting her time trying to save her marriage.
Maybe what I should do is go out on a date with the vet, because that seems to be something that sends you into a blinding rage.
But she loved him.
Oh, but wait. That won't work either because I'm not Meredith Grey.
Liz was my wife.
Finn looked at his watch for what felt like the hundredth time.
When she died... you do this thing where you stop making plans.
Meredith was the one for him.
Because you had plans but then there was a car crash and your plans disappeared so you just... I just try to get from sunup to sundown.
She was the one that saved him.
That's as far into the future as I can handle.
But for some reason he felt like he was losing her already.
I've been fine with that, I have, but right now, looking at you... damn, I have all kinds of plans.
Everyone's lives changed that night.
