Alex POV

I stared at the sight before me. I wasn't sad. More, exasperated. I should have known. I had known, really.

Izzie stepped back from the air she had been embracing and stared wistfully at the form I assume she saw before her. Then she saw me.

"Alex…" Her huge eyes bored into mine, filled with shock, and something I couldn't name. Happiness, almost. But how could she possibly be happy? Unless it was him. But I couldn't think about that right now. It hurt too much. Not that anyone would ever know.

I turned to leave. "No, Alex, don't. Just listen to me – "

"What exactly do want me to hear, Izzie? That you didn't just kiss thin air and feel good about it? Or do you just want to tell me who you think you're seeing, as if I don't already know." My voice rose as I spoke, and I could see the pain I was causing reflected back at me in those brown eyes, so much bigger than normal. I liked it.

I slammed out of that cursed house; I couldn't be in there any longer. Those eyes…

Izzie POV

I watched Alex leave, and turned to Denny. For a second I couldn't find him, and my heart constricted. And he was there, before I could miss him any more. He shrugged at me.

It was the shrug that did it. I walked into Denny's arms and cried onto his warm shoulder.
