Soulmate

That word had been floating around in Izzie's head for the past two weeks. For the past two weeks the only thing she could think about, dream about, and talk about was George, aka her soul mate. She would spend hours and hours laying awake in bed just thinking about how she had told him that she loved him and how he had just stared at her with that blank expression on his face. Did he love her too? Why didn't he show up at the church? Why was he acting so weird about his test results? All these questions haunted her everyday but the one question that really stuck out in her head was Did he choose Callie or her?

Izzie hadn't heard from him in two weeks but after being asked several times from Callie where George was she figured Callie hadn't seen him either. She didn't know what to make of that, was he hiding from her or was he just trying to figure out his feelings? But what did he have to figure out? It's pretty simple who do you love your wife or the person that you were meant to be with?

Izzie didn't want to think about this anymore all she wanted to do is get up from bed and go to work and focus on work and not focus on the idea that maybe the next time she is waiting for a elevator the doors will open and George will be standing there. Each day she would take the elevator every chance she had in hopes he would be there but knowing he wouldn't. But she kept doing it because he was it, her person, her best friend, her partner, her soulmate and the truth is she would wait for him forever.

Day 15

Izzie opened her eyes slowly and looked at her loud buzzing clock that was telling her in the most annoying way that a new day has begun and she had to get up. Izzie rubbed her eyes and reached over and hit the off button. She rolled over and looked up at the ceiling and let her mind wonder for a few moments. A new day. A day with a lot of surgeries and chatting with friends and new interns to boss around. You are going to get up and not think he who must not be named all day today. Now get up! Izzie just stayed laying there Any minute now. She stayed still GET UP! Her mind shouted.

Finally Izzie dragged herself up and out of bed and headed toward the bathroom. Okay good job now all you have to do is work a fourteen hour shift without thinking about him at all. You can do it!

Izzie walked into the resident's locker room and looked around to see and excited Cristina sitting on the edge of the bench and Meredith putting her name tag on. "Hey you guys are back!" Izzie said excitedly. "How was the cruise?" she asked opening her locker.

Meredith looked over at Izzie then slammed her locker shut "Annoying." she said.

"What? Why?" Izzie asked taking her jacket off.

Meredith sat down on the bench next to Cristina "Well first of all everyone was all happy and they all were getting engaged or married or celebrating their 50th anniversary. And second of all they all were congratulating us." Meredith explained.

Izzie looked at them confused "Why were they congratulating you guys?"

"Because they said it took guts for two woman to get married in the kind of country we live in today." Cristina answered tuning to look at Izzie.

It took Izzie a second for the words to sink in but when they did she couldn't help but double over in laughter. "They thought.." she laughed more "..they thought you two were married?" she asked not really expecting a answer.

Cristina and Meredith both narrowed their eyes looking at her "yes." they both hissed under their breath. Izzie hadn't laughed this hard in a long time, tears were streaming from her eyes. But then somewhere in the back of her mind there was a flash and a memories came flooding in "I can't breathe!" "Shhhh." George whispered "I'm crying.. I'm.." Izzie laughed harder Izzie stopped laughing and wiped the tears away from her face and stood up straight and looked down at Cristina and Meredith then went back to getting ready.

"So are you guys excited about getting interns?" Izzie asked still reeling from Meredith and Cristina's honeymoon story.

"You bet your ass I am." Cristina said enthusticlly.

Meredith looked around the room and saw all the residents and looked up at Izzie "Hey Iz?"

"Yeah?" Izzie turned around and looked at her.

"Where's George?"

Before Izzie could answer Callie walked into the locker room mumbling something that sounded like "I'm his wife" and "he should have told me" and for a second Izzie's heart stopped because she thought that Callie had some how found out about the night of passion that Izzie had shared with her husband.

"Listen up!" Every ones attention focused on Callie and the room went silent "I'm going to call off your new interns and then you will go and find them at their locker room. New residents you will only be getting one intern and everyone else will be getting five interns!" Callie shouted through out the locker room. "Starting with the new residents Dr. Grey, George O'Malley." The whole room started whispering but to Izzie all the sound was sucked out of the room George failed his exams? Why didn't he tell me? The sound of Callie's voice snapped Izzie out of her thoughts. "Dr. Karev, Graciella Gomez. Dr. Stevens, Mitch Greenberg. Dr. Yang, Lexie Grey." Again the whole room filled with whispers Cristina, Izzie and Alex all looked at Meredith whose face had all of a sudden lost all of the color from it.

"Hey!" Callie yelled over their voices "Can I continue?" she asked as everyone got quiet again. Izzie let her mind wonder once again drowning out Callie's voice George is and intern, Meredith's sister is and intern. Can this year get any weirder?
