A/N: Oh my gosh, you guys, I'm so sorry! I went on vacation and they didn't have internet! I feel so bad for making everyone wait this long, but here's the next chapter. Please tell me what you think, I haven't written in six weeks.
Found
Izzie
She wasn't supposed to find Meredith.
McDreamy was supposed to find Meredith.
He was supposed to find her and pick her up and kiss her pain away.
They were supposed to ride off into the sunset in a shining, gilded carriage.
Just like she was supposed to do with Denny.
Denny.
She drags Meredith's sleeping form out of a hospital closet, and she tries not to think about Denny.
It's two thirty in the morning.
The floor is nearly empty.
Nobody notices Izzie Stevens, the most talked about intern since she famously, accidentally, killed her fiancé.
Nobody notices her drag Meredith Grey, the second most talked about intern since she famously screwed a married attending, across the floor.
No one sees her slap Meredith's face until she comes to, groggy and disoriented.
"Izzie? What happened?"
Meredith's words slur together and it's only seconds before she begins to doze again.
"Meredith-wake up, Meredith! I'll tell you what happened. You got drunk and locked yourself into a closet is what happened. We all went looking for you for the past eight hours is what happened. You could have died if I hadn't heard you snoring when I walked past the door searching for you is what happened! Now for God's sake, don't fall asleep again! We have to get out of here."
Meredith's eyes open wide at Izzie's snappish, angry tone, and she nods submissively.
She pulls Meredith up so she's standing, and Meredith lets her.
And she helps her to the car, where she promptly falls asleep in the front seat.
And she tries not to be jealous that the one man who loved her is dead, and the three men (if you count George) who love Meredith are all very much alive.
George
He's so relieved when he sees Izzie drag Meredith in the front door.
He runs to help her, but she swats him off and tells him to call of the search.
He obeys, and he can't quite conceal the joy in his voice as he calls around to report that Meredith's been found, and she's very much alive.
Finn and Derek both want to come over and see her, but he tells them that that's not the best idea right now.
It isn't, either.
They're both the reason that she's like this, and he wants to make sure she's really okay first.
Because the way she's been acting lately, he's pretty sure she's far from okay.
Derek
He did this to her.
George just called him and explained that Izzie found her passed out in a hospital closet, and it's all his fault.
He asks to see her without meaning to, and he wants to slap himself for it.
He's relieved when George asks him not to come.
He doesn't want to see her. Because it's all his fault.
Review.
