Chapter Four
When Izzie had finally stopped crying Meredith told her that she would cover the rest of her shift . She only had an hour left before she would go home and take care of Izzie. As she sat in the intern's locker room and stared into space Meredith wondered what state she would find Izzie in when she arrived home. Would she be curled up in a ball in her bed wearing Denny's sweater or would she be in the kitchen baking.
For Izzie baking was a way to shut out her emotions, just like when she was in surgery, she was concentrating so hard that everything in the background disappeared.
Meredith thoughts were interrupted by Cristina's hand waving in front of her face.
"Hello, earth to Meredith." Cristina spoke loudly.
"Sorry, What?" Meredith said distractedly.
"Why do you look like some ran over your puppy?"
Meredith hesitated before she spoke "Izzie. You saw this morning. She was happy. She was going to ask Alex if they could give their relationship another go. He kissed her last week, but she wasn't ready so he said he would wait. And today she sees him all over satan. A week ! Cristina he didn't even wait a week." Meredith then preceded to tell Cristina about the incident in the women's restroom.
Meredith then sees Alex walk through the door. "Asshole." She mutters loud enough so that Alex can hear her.
Alex heard her and asked "What was that Grey?"
"You heard me. I called you an asshole." Meredith spat at him
"And why are you calling me an asshole?" Alex replied indifferently.
"Seriously. She was finally getting back on her feet and you had to go and ruin it." Cristina spoke her voice low and full of venom. She then sees the confused look on Alex's face so she explains. "Maybe you remember the kiss last week and how you told Izzie you wait. You didn't wait a week. She was going to ask you for another chance and she sees you all over that whore. And she ends up crying on the bathroom floor again. So yes Alex you are an asshole." With that she slaps him hard across the face and storms out of the room followed by Meredith.
As Meredith made her way down to the E.R she couldn't help feel proud of her person. She heard Olivia say there was a shooting at a local market and there was on casualty, a women in her late twenties was shot in the chest and that the E.T.A was less than 5 minutes.
As she heard the sirens get louder and the ambulance came into view, adrenaline coursed through her veins. The doors of then ambulance opened and when Meredith saw who lay on the stretcher before her, her breathing hitched. It was Izzie.
