Izzie Stevens was not going back on her resignation. She was done. She was done with being a surgeon and she was done with Seattle Grace. She wanted nothing to do with it ever again. All it did was remind her of Denny. The man she loved. The man she lost. As she lay in her bed, tears streaming down her face, she listened to the rain outside. Its constant downpour soothed her as she snuggled into Alex's arms. She silently wished it was Denny's arms she was in. Alex was only looking after her but the one person she needed right now was Denny. The man she loved. The man she lost.

Meredith Grey stood glued to the spot. She didn't want to choose. She didn't want to choose between the two men standing before her. Life wasn't meant to be this hard. Life wasn't meant to hurt like it did for Meredith. She looked towards the man who she'd danced with. He was sweet and kind and birthed ponies. He had plans. Plans about her. No one had ever had plans about her. Her whole life she was only a spectator, watching her life from the sidelines. That was until she met Derek. The man she had just slept with in an empty exam room. The man who had ripped her heart out. Who she hated but loved at the same time. The one that drove her absolutely crazy. The man that she felt she would never stop loving. She couldn't choose not right now. She turned and ran. Ran away from the two men who loved her and ran to the friend who needed her.

George O'Malley sat on the couch downstairs holding a mug of lukewarm coffee in his hands. Upstairs was his best friend whose heart was breaking. He knew he should be up there with her but he couldn't move. He was frozen in shock. He knew she needed him but he reasoned with himself that Alex was there. He had never been good with death. Ironic that he chose to be a surgeon. How could life be so cruel? He couldn't see her this way, not now. He thought of Callie and how she'd told him she loved him. That was a shock to the system. After Meredith he didn't imagine that anyone would love him. After she hurt him so bad he never imagined he'd love anyone again.

Cristina Yang lay next to the man she loved. Her head was rested on his shoulder. Her hands holding his. She couldn't understand what was happening to her. All these unknown feelings building inside her. She was always the epitome of in control. She'd never let anything get to her. She'd never let anyone get to her. But she had never let anyone close to her. Until she came here. Until she started her career that she was going to be in control of. But looking at Burke's sleeping form it didn't seem to matter anymore. All that mattered was him.

Alex Karev silently held the woman he loved in his arms. But she loved someone else. He couldn't help but go over all the times he'd screwed up with her. But he could be here for her now. As a friend. She just lost the man she loved and needed someone. He'd swallow all of his feelings for her. Because that's how much he loved her. He loved her enough to let her go.

Richard Webber had always been a surgeon first and a person second. Until he met Ellis Grey. Then he became a man in love, an adulterer and a drunk. He had a reputation to uphold. He was a respected and world renowned surgeon. He was Chief of Surgery at Seattle Grace, the best hospital in Washington. Now his reputation was being challenged. His secret affair wasn't secret. One of his interns had put a patient in jeopardy and stolen a heart. Hypothetically, Richard Webber was screwed.

Addison Shepherd knew her marriage was over. No matter how hard she tried to deny it, she knew her husband was in love with another woman. But that didn't stop her from loving him. That didn't stop her thinking there might be a chance for them yet. That he'd come back to her. She knew she hurt him. Sleeping with his best friend was a stupid idea but she was lonely. She wanted the love she used to have from Derek. The love Mark so willingly doted upon her. The love Derek felt for Meredith.

Finn Dandridge had always considered himself as safe. A safe vet. A safe driver. A safe relationship. Now he wished he wasn't. He knew 'safe' wasn't going to guarantee him Meredith Grey's love. After seeing the way she looked at Derek Shepherd he knew 'safe' couldn't compete with that. Whatever was between them obviously wouldn't go away easily. But that didn't stop him making plans. Making plans about him and Meredith Grey.
