Days have passed since the shooting at Seattle grace, Izzie has been thinking a lot about what had happened and though it would be time to visit Alex. She got the courage to get out of bed get dressed and head out the door, she got in the car and drove off to the hospital he was staying at, she sat in the car for a few minutes before walking in. "hey Mark" she said as she didn't want to ask why he was there. She walked down the hall to the room Alex was in seeing lexie "oh sorry I can come back later" she said as lexie stood up "no I was about to leave" lexie said to her as izzie walked in "hey Alex" she said in a soft tone looking down at him. "you came back izzie" he said "yeah I did" she smiled at him putting her hand through his hair "how did you find me" he said to her. Izzie raised a brow "I was there Alex through the whole thing I was there" she said taking a hold of his hand as he started to cry. "I'm sorry Alex" she said as she was caught of guard from his hug.
Izzie closed her eyes trying not to picture everything that had happened to them in the past all the hurt both of them went through "it's okay Alex I'm here" she said as her voice had cracked. She found herself soon crying. She sat in his bed hugging him back "I'm sorry for leaving you" she said as she blamed him for getting her fired the first time "It was not your fault" she said as they both sat there holding onto each other for comfort. Izzie felt safe in his arms, but at the same time it felt wrong, they weren't together anymore he was with Lexie and she respected that.
"I'll see you later okay?" she said kissing his forehead walking out the door looking at lexie "thanks" she said to her with a smile and watched them real quickly through the window before walking away the feelings were still there but she can finally go on with her life knowing Alex would still be there for her as friends.
