This is an Alex and Izzie fic. One shot for now unless I get at least one review telling me to continue.

Sue me I changed the words but only because the story wouldn't exist if I hadn't.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Grey's Anatomy; if I did then I'd be rich and not writing this story but I'm not.

It's Too Soon

Dr. Isobel Stevens, or Izzie, felt a pang in her heart as she watched the way Dr. Alex Karev was looking at Dr. Addison Montgomery. Wanting that's the only way to describe that look. It couldn't be though but it was. And that pang in her heart, was it jealousy. No. No it wasn't, at least that's what she told herself.

Just a couple of weeks ago Alex had shown her just how he really felt about her. He kissed her and she could feel herself kissing him back, only for a second though, just before her mind wandered back to Denny.

Denny, she loved him that she did. She loved him enough to risk her career and his life to save him, and to want to marry him so she could spend the rest of her life with him. Now he was gone and she still loved him.

"Alex I can't," she told him as she pulled away. "It's too soon."

It's too soon. Did that mean she still had feelings for him? If she didn't, then how could she explain being jealous of the look Addison was getting from Dr. Karev?

Being jealous still didn't mean she had feelings for him. Alex was her friend and… and she just happened to think that Addison Montgomery didn't deserve someone like Alex.

Besides she couldn't care for him, she still loved Denny. If she did, she wouldn't even be able to act on her feelings, since she wasn't even close to being over Denny. Izzie couldn't just start a relationship with Alex when she still had feelings of love towards another man. And her head just wouldn't let her forget it. Not that she wanted to. Alex deserved to be happy and she couldn't make him happy, when she wasn't even happy herself. Maybe if she was the old Izzie she could but she wasn't.

All she could do was watch and hope that she had mistaken that look Alex had been given Addison, that look of wanting. Hope that if she hadn't that Dr. Montgomery didn't feel the same way as Alex did. If she did she could care less if they got together. If Addison made Alex happy then go right ahead. She wouldn't stop them; she had no reason to because she wasn't jealous, right?

I know its short but I had no idea how short it would be once I posted it. Review if you want to people. Send me some comments telling me how to make this story better because this is my first fanfic. And only if somebody wants me to ,will I continue this story.
