AN: This is just a collection on one-shots. They aren't going to be related to other chapters unless I note otherwise. Anyway, this is not my best work by far but the song was there and just wanted to be used. I'd love to know what y'all think.


She can't see the way your eyes
light up when you smile.
She'll never notice how you stop and stare

whenever she walks by.
And you can't see me wanting you
the way you want her,
but you are everything to me.

"Alex Karev! Get your ass in here now!" Izzie screamed from the bathroom. "Alex!"

"God, Izzie." Alex stumbled into the room, shirtless. "It's five o'clock in the morning."

"I don't complain when you bring your girlfriend of the week home, I don't even complain that you kept me up all night, but Jesus, Alex! Clean up after you decide to use the shower for enjoyment!"

"Izzie, calm down. I'll clean it up now."

"You just don't get it, do you?"

"Get what?"

"Never mind."

"Whatever, Iz."

And I just want to show you,
she don't even know you.
She's never going to love you
like I want to
and you just see right through me.
If you only knew me,
we could be a beautiful miracle,
unbelievable, instead of just invisible.

"What's up with Izzie today?" Alex dropped into his chair in the cafeteria.

"I'm not even going there, Evil Spawn." Cristina remarked, getting up from the table.

"Seriously, Alex." Meredith shook her and followed Cristina.

"What is going on, O'Malley?" Alex gave him a confused look.

"How's your girlfriend of the week, Karev?" George asked before standing up, leaving him to sit by himself.

There's a fire inside of you
that can't help but shine through.
She's never gonna see the light,
no matter what you do.
And all I think about
is how to make you think of me
and everything that we could be.

"What am I suppose to do, Mer?" Izzie sulked. "I feel like he's got a new girl every week!"

"He does." Cristina pointed out.

"Not helping. They don't know him. Not like I do."

"I don't know, Iz." Meredith shook her head. "Have you thought about being blunt and just telling him straight out?"

"I can't do that."

"Why?"

"I – I just can't. It doesn't work like that. Not with us."

And I just want to show you,
she don't even know you.
She's never going to love you
like I want to
and you just see right through me.
If you only knew me,
we could be a beautiful miracle,
unbelievable, instead of just invisible.

"Izzie! I need to talk to you!" Alex yelled as he walked through the front door of their house. "Izzie!"

"Alex…" Meredith warned from the kitchen.

"Not now, Mer. Where's Izzie?"

"In her room."

"Izzie!" He walked right into her bedroom.

"God, Alex! Don't you even knock?" Izzie pulled her tank top down over her head.

"We need to talk."

"Why?"

"Because there's obviously something I'm missing!"

"What are you talking about, Alex?"

"I either did something to offend you, or I'm missing something that you aren't saying."


Like shadows in a faded light,
we're invisible.
I just wanna open your eyes
and make you realize.
I just want to show you,
she don't even know you.
Baby let me love you, let me want you.

"I…" Izzie bit her bottom lip. "I don't know -."

"Yes, yes you do."

"Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?"

"Don't do this, Iz. I'm here. Talk to me." He sat down on the edge of her bed.

"Don't you get it, Alex? You're here now. Who's to say where you're going to be tomorrow night? Or who you're going to be with?"

"Izzie…"

"You don't get it. You're… and those girls? They don't know you. I mean, they know you. But they don't know you know you. Not like I do." She completely ignored him and kept ranting.

"Izzie…"

"Why can't you see me? Just open your eyes! I'm here! Right in front of you! I feel like I'm invisible to you, Alex!"

"Izzie…"

You just see right through me,
but if you only knew me.
We could be a beautiful miracle,
unbelievable, instead of just invisible.

"I just wanna slap you and make you see the reality."

"Izzie!"

"What?" She stopped pacing and looked up at him.

"You're not invisible to me."

"What?"

"You're not invisible to me." Alex sighed. "Those girls? They mean nothing to me."

"Then why?"

He hesitated. "I was invisible to you."

"What?"

"I was invisible to you. When I cheated on you with Olivia, you forgave me but then Denny came back and you forgot about me. I got stuffed back in the closet. And then, that day while you were on probation, I tried again. You said you weren't ready though. You weren't ready but then you went and slept with George."

"Alex, I -."

"I don't need your reasons. I understand. Somehow, I understand. But, Iz… you were never invisible to me."

"You were never invisible to me, either. I just… I've been acting pissed beyond all belief at all these girls that you bring home but in actuality, I'm mad at myself. I don't know. I just didn't want to lose the friendship I needed while I grieved and then, the girls started and I just thought…"

"Iz, stop rambling and look at me." He stepped directly in front of her. "Just look."

"What?"

"Let's not be invisible anymore."

She nodded slowly. "Okay."

"Good. Now, I'm going to kiss you." He smirked leaning forward and capturing her lips with his own.

She can't see the way your eyes
light up when you smile.
