A/N: This is my first GA fic, so please be nice. Ilove Alex and Izzie, and this is what i want to happen after the finale.

Alex kept his eyes trained on her back as she made her way down the stairs, and through the front door of the hospital. He wanted to reach out and embrace. Tell her everything was alright, that he was there. He wanted to be the knight in shining armor. He wanted to be the one she was crying over.

But he wasn't. She loved Denny. He had known all along, but it really hit him when he walked into the hospital room and saw her on his bed, holding Denny's dead body. He vowed right then and there that he would be the one to be there for her. For once, he would say the right things, the things that helped her, instead of just causing her pain.

And in that same instant, he realized how much he loved her. He had never really cared for a woman, except his mom and his sister. He was scared he would turn into his father, hurting everyone he loved. And when he had slept with Olivia, that's exactly what he'd done. Maybe he hadn't laid a hand on Izzie, but he'd lost her trust.

But now he was ready to win it back.

"Come on Iz. Let's get you home." he reached out and grabbed her hand. She didn't resist, but when he squeezed her hand, he got no response. Her hand was cold and lifeless, much like Alex assumed the rest of her felt.

"Come on, O'Malley. We'll take my car. You drive." He tossed George the keys, then slowly opened the door to the back seat and laid Izzie down gently and crawled in next to her.

He held her, just as he had back in Denny's room. He felt her bury her face in his neck, and had the urge to whisper that he loved her into her ear right then.

No, he thought. Not yet. I need to help her heal first. And regain her trust. When I tell her, I want her to know that I mean it.

Alex sighed, and planted a soft, tender kiss on the gorgeous blonde locks of his fallen princess.

REVIEW! Should I continue or leave it as this?
