This is my first ever fanfic that i've written, so be nice (truthful, but nice =p)
I wrote this for Laura so i'm dedicating this to her, thanks for betaing this for me :) Yaayy now you've got another Addison/Izzie fic to read!
Addison stares at her bedroom window watching the raindrops trickling down as if they're all racing to the bottom. It's raining in LA, such a rarity which makes Addison smile, she thinks back to when she was in Seattle, how she hated the rain so much yet now she misses it. The rain is a horrible reminder of her divorce, of cheating and of heartache but it also holds amazing memories of when she and Derek tried to make things work, of miracles happening and of course of her time with Izzie.
Isobel Stevens was the one and only person, who truly understood the real Addison Forbes Montgomery, there was no one like Izzie. Addison remembered the first time she laid her eyes on her. The brown eyed, blonde haired beauty took her breathe away, she was gorgeous. Addison even remembers avoiding her for her first few weeks at Seattle Grace because she thought that if Izzie spoke to her, she would be too distracted by the beautiful woman standing in front of her to be able to think of the words that she wanted to say. Luckily no one noticed as everyone knew the Addison/Derek/Meredith situation and how all of Meredith's friends had taken her side, so were automatically against Addison which in fact made it easier for Addie to avoid Izzie, as Izzie was doing the same thing.
The day that Addison had been dreading was here, Izzie Stevens was her intern. As much as she loved to secretly look at the young woman from a distance, now she was genuinely scared because this time there was no way to avoid her, today she had to talk to her and look at her without looking at her. There weren't many things which Addison believed to be challenging; after all she was a 'Forbes Montgomery' and everyone knows that nothing is too difficult for them to handle, but Addison couldn't deny that today would be a real challenge for her.
Addison was interrupted when she heard footsteps and then a rather impatient *ahem* As she looked up from the chart she was reading she saw Izzie standing in front of her looking less than impressed to be there.
"I'm here Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd, so what do you want me to do?" Izzie said.
Addison knew what she really wanted to say was, "Give me something to do as far away from you as possible because your husband hurt my friend and I don't want anything to do with you."
At that point Addie really wished that she could send Izzie to do something far away as well, but if she had to spend the day ignoring the beauty of this woman then Izzie would have to suck it up and act professional too.
Over the next few weeks Addison and Izzie continued to work together, Izzie showed real potential in the OB/GYN field and of course was good with the babies as well. Addison loved that she could have Izzie around for her benefit as well as the patients, and no one would get suspicious because they knew what a caring person Izzie was and how perfectly suited she was for this field. Although Izzie acted professional even when she didn't like Addison, Addie wished there was something she could do to at least be at the point where her and Izzie could have a conversation about something other than a patient.
A week later Addison's divorce to Derek was finalized and they both went back to work like nothing had happened. I should be sad, Addie thought to herself I should feel.. something. But she didn't so she carried on with what she was doing. Her morning started the same as usual, meet an always keen but impatient Izzie at the nurse's station and get the first patient's chart, ask Izzie to read it to her and then question her on diagnosis, different treatments etc. The rest of the day went on the same, no births, no surgeries, just a quiet day until midafternoon. Addison doesn't know what triggered it but all of a sudden while in a patient's room she had to excuse herself and began running in her black Louboutin's towards the exit. She barely made it into her car before she was unable to hold them in any longer and she burst into tears. A few minutes later she heard a knock at the window and then saw the blonde haired beauty signal for her to wind down the window.
"Dr. Montgo- Addison, are you okay?" Izzie asked in a sympathetic voice so different from her usual tone.
Addie wiped her eyes, "Yeah, thanks."
Izzie wasn't convinced, "You're not a very good liar.."
Izzie winked as she proceeded to walk around to the opposite side of the car and hop into the passenger seat, "Now, tell me what's wrong, for real."
Addison found instant trust in Izzie and told her all about what had happened before work and how she didn't feel anything, and then all of a sudden something just clicked inside her and all the hurt and pain of cheating and Derek leaving, then coming to Seattle and trying to make their marriage work when he was in love with Meredith, it all just come flooding back to her and she couldn't stop the tears from coming. Izzie was surprisingly understanding Addison thought, for someone who seemed to hate her so much, at this moment she also seemed to care about her a lot. They chatted for a while longer then decided that they should get back inside before someone realized that they were gone.
Just before they walked through the doors Izzie turned to Addie and smiled, "Everyone's wrong about you, you know. You're not so bad, you made a mistake and you didn't even know that Meredith existed. Derek's the one that we should all be angry at, not you.. I'm sorry Addison."
Tell me what you think. Review please?
