"TAYLOR, YOU LEFT THE SHOWER ON!!!!!!!!!!"

This was not the thing Izzie wanted to wake her up at 7:30 in the morning, but yet, nothing was ever normal in this house. She recognised that screaming voice immediately as Hayley, obviously screaming at Taylor because he had left the shower on. He did that a lot these days, most of the time just to annoy Hayley which usually worked very well.

Izzie knew well that she wasn't going to get any more sleep, so she thought it best to get up and have a shower before Hayley removed it permanently so that it wouldn't be left on after it was used. When she opened her bedroom door she was greeted by a very tired looking Hayley.

"You didn't get any sleep either then?" asked Izzie.

"Well what do you think??" said Hayley very sarcastically. "I swear if he doesn't start going to hotels he is OUTTA HERE!!!" Izzie laughed but stopped quite suddenly because Hayley looked in no joking mood.

"Did they stop at all? It just seemed like it was constantly all night long!"Izzie asked Hayley who was now starting to scream again."What, oh, I dunno... ...TAYLOR!!!!"

Izzie then realised that their conversation was over and went on to the bathroom to get a shower.

When she was finished she went down to the kitchen and made herself some coffee and French toast, but she couldn't get a seat at the kitchen table because Hayley had now spread what looked like every book she owned over it.

"You having a sale or something?"Izzie asked Hayley, who now looked like she was ready to explode.

"No, smart ass! I've got a paraoesophageal hernia surgery to do in half an hour and I can't find the book that says what catheter I should use!!! "Hayley replied while flicking through six books at once.

"Okay... I'm not even gonna pretend I know what you're talking about and skip ahead to asking you if you want some coffee?" said Izzie feeling very stupid compared to Hayley, who was one of the best surgeons in the country.

"Errmmm... I don't have time for coff... YES!!! I've found it!!! Okay now I have this book, I really have to go so I'll see you later okay bye . . ."Hayley said while running out the door and going to work.

Almost instantly after Hayley closed the front door, Taylor poked his head round the into the kitchen.

"She gone for good?" he asked Izzie, who had finally got sitting at the table.

"Yup, that's her off to work. She said something about a paresimpoleea something or other! Anyway she should be gone for a few hours at least."Izzie said, wrecking her brains about the name of Hayley's surgery.

"Oh, good! She really scares me when she screams non-stop like that! Taylor said and Izzie laughed.

"Anyway, I actually agree with her on something today!"Izzie said looking very mysterious.

"You do? You guys are like chalk and cheese, except for the fact that you're exactly the same!"Taylor said.

"Yes I do! If you don't start going back to their places every once in a while you are gonna be out on your ass by the end of this month! She's got a really important job for which she needs sleep, which cannot be got in this house anytime you decide to have any of your Cough friends over!"Izzie told Taylor, raising her voice slightly.

"I see your point."Taylor said, looking kinda bummed. "Well maybe I'll just soundproof my walls instead!" Taylor said and Izzie laughed.

"Anyway, what are you doing today?"Izzie asked Taylor while drinking her coffee. "Oh just work and then home, I know so much fun!"Taylor said while laughing.

"What about you?""Oh y'know just the usual. I've got work then I'm going out for dinner with Mike. He said he's got something really important to tell me!"Izzie told him looking very suspicious.

"Well what d'you think he wants?"Taylor asked

"Well ..."

"OOOHHH!! I know! He's gonna propose!"Taylor interrupted.

"WHAT! That's crazy! We've only been going out for a few months and he told me just last week that he wants to take things slower ... he actually gave me the impression that he wanted to break up!"Izzie said trying to convince Taylor he was crazy.

"You idiot! He was just saying that to throw you off so you'd be surprised when he asked you! Dude, this is wild! I can't believe you're getting married!"Taylor told a very shocked Izzie.

Taylor waited for Izzie to respond but she just sat there with a piece of French toast in her hand and her mouth open. "Iz, you okay? Izzie? Helllooooo! IZZIE!!!"

"What, what!?! God! Sorry for being a bit overwhelmed here! Do you really think that's what he's doing?"Izzie said, still with the French toast in her hand.

"Uhh, yeah! So what are you gonna do? Are you gonna say yes??"Taylor asked looking excited.

"I dunno! Wow! I can't believe it! He's really gonna propose!"Izzie said, still with the toast in her hand. "Well I guess I should say yes, but I dunno if I'm ready for marriage!"

"Oh come on! You know you guys are meant for each other! If you say no you're just putting off the inevitable! "Taylor said trying his hardest to convince her to marry Mike.

"I...I guess you're right! You know what? I think I will!"Izzie said starting to smile.

"What!?! Really? OH MY GOD!!! You're gonna get married!"Taylor shouted, nudging Izzie.

"Yeah, I'm getting married! I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!! Izzie finally put the toast down and she and Taylor jumped up and started screaming wildly.

3 HOURS LATER

"Do you know something? We need more wine!"Taylor said while lying on the living room floor, drunk out of his mind.

"Maybe we should stop drinking for a little while!" Izzie said, also quite drunk, but nowhere near as bad as Taylor.

"AAAHHHH!!!"Izzie screamed and then jumped up. "I have to meet Mike in 45 minutes! What am I gonna do I can't meet him when I'm in this state!"She exclaimed, pacing around the room in painc.

"Oh stop being so dramatic Liz...no...Friz...no...What's your name again?"Taylor asked Izzie not even aware he was talking.

"Oh shut up Taylor! If you're not gonna wise up you may as well be asleep!"Izzie said getting very annoyed.

" Fine by me!"Taylor said and moments later he was asleep.

Izzie ran around the house like crazy drinking about six mugs of coffee before getting into the shower. When she got out of the shower she got dressed and went downstairs to get more coffee to help her sober up.

When she went back into the living room she walked into Taylor who was still on the floor, obviously still drunk. She kicked him several times in the back but he didn't wake up.

"Taylor ... Taylor ... TAYLOR!!!" Izzie continued to shout at him and shake him but he didn't stir. She started to get worried so she decided to call Hayley at work.

"Hello, Boston General Hospital, surgical wing."

"Hi I'm looking for Dr. Hayley McIntosh, I'm her room-mate Izzie." She explained to the nurse on the phone.

"Yes she's just out of surgery, I'll get her for you know."The nurse said.

"Izzie? What the hell is going on?"Hayley asked when she got to the phone.

"Oh Hayley thank god! Okay it's a long story but basically Taylor got very, very, very drunk and he fell asleep on the floor and I went upstairs and got a shower and when I came back down he was still asleep, and I've tried shaking him and shouting his name but he won't budge!"Izzie explained, pacing the room.

"Okay hang on, take his pulse and check if he's breathing, don't hang up."Hayley instructed Izzie, who ran over to Taylor.

She raced over to Taylor and put her fingers on his neck but he didn't have a pulse.

"Hayley he doesn't have a pulse and he's not breathing we have to do something! What do I do?"Izzie shouted getting very anxious.

"Okay calm down, and then call an ambulance and tell them he's being sent in by Dr. McIntosh and that should help them go faster."Hayley explained to Izzie who was almost starting to cry in worry.

"Okay please be there when we get in. Please Hayley!"Izzie shouted trying again to wake Taylor up.

"Okay I'll see you soon okay? Try to stay calm." Hayley explained before hanging up.

Izzie hung up the phone and called an ambulance straight away.
