Chapter 9

Mark found Teddy sitting outside of the hospital on a bench, in the rain.

"Teddy," Mark said as he got over to her. "It wasn't what it looked like."

"Just go away," Teddy said.

"Please hear me out," Mark pleaded.

"Screw off," Teddy spat.

Mark sat down next to her and tried to get her to look at him. But she moved completely away until she was facing completely opposite of him.'

"Teddy she-

"Shut the hell up and get the hell out of my face!"

"You are being unreasonable," Mark said.

"I am being unreasonable?!" Teddy shouted. "I believed in you! I thought I finally found a guy, besides Owen, who would be good to me! I though it found someone who was actually interested in me for me! But of course once again, the guy I like runs off with his ex- girlfriend and cheats on me!"

Mark jumped back, almost as if he had been slapped in the face.

"It didn't happen like that," Mark defended. "You see, I knocked into Lexie and-

"Just shut up and get the hell away from here!" Teddy screamed.

The rain had soaked the two of them through and made it look almost as if Teddy wasn't crying. As the rain washed away her tears Mark felt his heart twist in his chest and seem to break.

But it didn't break for Teddy.

He did feel bad that she had to go through this, but the crying reminded him of Lexie when he had walked away from her and left her alone in the on- call room.

His heart broke for Lexie.

"Will someone please tell me what is going on?" Izzie demanded.

George smiled at her slightly and she glared at him. He shrugged in confusion.

"What?" he asked.

"George, what happened to you? What has happened to everybody?"

Alex took a deep intake of air and slowly walked over to Derek. "We need to talk," he told him.

"What is wrong?" Izzie demanded, sitting up and feeling her head throb with pain. "Ouch," she hissed.

"Are you okay?" Alex asked, worry coding his tone.

"I'm fine. It's just… I have no idea what is going on!"

She slumped back down into her bed. "Let's go into the hallway," Alex said to Derek. "I'll be right back," he told Izzie, and kissed her forehead.

"When you get back will you explain please?" Izzie begged.

"Maybe," Alex sighed.

Izzie groaned and watched Alex leave the room, dragging Derek behind him.

"Mer," she said, looking to Meredith. "Will you tell me?"

Meredith opened her mouth to talk but quickly shut it again. She looked to Cristina for help and then quickly changed the subject.

"I have to go check on my patient," Meredith said.

With that she fled the room, fast walking. Izzie looked to Lexie and Lexie bit her lip so hard it looked like it might bleed. "I should uh… I should go see… something," she said, running after Meredith.

Izzie looked to where George stood but he appeared to be gone. "Where did George go?" Izzie asked.

Cristina looked at her sadly. "I uh… I don't know."

"Will you please tell me what is going on," Izzie begged.

"I think that's up to Alex Izzie."

"Cristina," Izzie said, looking her in the eyes and feeling scared of what she might find out. "Please," it came out in only a whisper.

Cristina let out a heavy breath. "It's sort of your memory."

"Wait… Derek took out a part of my brain that effects memory. Do I keep forgetting what happens?"

"No," Cristina said. "You sort of blocked out a long time in your mind."

"Like… how long?" Izzie questioned.

"Like a few months."

Cristina walked out of the room and Izzie felt panic rise within her.

So had something happened to George? What happened?

Questions began to run through Izzie's mind and tears filled her eyes as she watched Alex yelling outside the room.

OH NO!

Alex pulled Derek into the hallway and immediately lost it.

"What the hell happened?" Alex hissed. "She doesn't remember anything! I don't understand."

"I think it's the other tumor," Derek said. "She could also have caused her mind to believe what she wanted to, to block out all of the stress."

"Well fix her!"

"I probably have to go back in and try to remove the other tumor. Maybe that will help her memory return."

"You screwed her brain up!" Alex yelled.

"You know what," Derek said, beginning to lose his temper. "I understand that you are going through a hard time right now, and I got it oat first, but you have no right to take your anger out on everybody! You have no right to take it out on Meredith, Lexie, or me. The patient doesn't always live. The patient can come out of surgery with some problems. But you are lucky that Izzie is even alive! She could be dead right now! I thought she wouldn't make it! The fact that she is alive proves that I did something right. And frankly you owe everyone that you yelled at an apology."

Alex looked away as Derek started to walk away from him.

"Hey Shepherd!" he called.

Derek turned around. "Yes?"

"I'm sorry," Alex said softly.

Derek smiled a half smile. It was hardly noticeable but it was still there. "That's alright," Derek sighed. "And for all you know the anesthesia may just be fogging up Izzie's mind."

"Do you think that's what it is?" Alex questioned.

"Honestly, I doubt it. But it's still a possibility. I'm going to go look at some scans of her brain from before the surgery and I'll take some new scans in a little while."

"Thank you," Alex said.

Lexie saw Mark leaning against a wall in the front of the hospital, soaking wet.

"Hey," she whispered. "Are you alright?"

Before Mark could answer a nurse came over to him and said that Sloan would wake up any minute.

Mark nodded and followed after her.

Lexie stood in the spot she was in for a moment and then looked outside where she saw Teddy sitting on a bench, crying.

She must have not believed Mark.

Lexie felt the guilt begin to bubble inside of her and she realized she had to make things right.

"Cristina told me," Izzie said as Alex entered the room.

"What?"

"Cristina told me that there was a problem with my memory, that I forgot months worth of memory. And I've been thinking… before when I said I didn't see Denny and Meredith asked about George… what's going on Alex?"

Alex sighed and looked sadly into Izzie's eyes and she knew that he wasn't telling her something.

She opened her mouth to protest when Alex finally said, "O'Malley… he died."

A/N: Review for a preview and an update. And if you get a chance can you take the poll I created? I want to know which season of Grey's Anatomy you like best. I'll post up the results when the poll is over which I think will be on May first.

I've been thinking of a new idea for a fanfiction for Grey's Anatomy, and if I start writing it any time soon I will let you guys know.

Sorry if you didn't get the preview for the chapter right away if you reviewed. I didn't start writing right away. So if you don't get the preview right away it's because I don't have it available just yet.

So please review for a preview and an update! :)
