Chapter 2: "24"

"24"

Twenty four oceans
Twenty four skies
Twenty four failures
Twenty four tries
Twenty four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
Twenty four drop outs
At the end of the day
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty four hours ago.

(Lyrics by Switchfoot)

(Izzie was getting ready to go to work and she was thinking about Denny)

(Izzie's Thoughts)

Oh Denny, I don't know why I'm going to Seattle Grace today, I mean I could just call and quit, but George said do I really want to remember the last time in Seattle Grace, as the day Denny died? I guess he's right, but I also don't want to remember it as the day I quit. I mean I thought I was going to work there for many years to come; I pictured myself getting all kinds of awards, and saving so many lives. But no, I'm a failure; I didn't even make it to the end of my internship. I know if George knows I felt this way, he will give me all these reasons to not feel that way, but he's my friend, he has to say that. Well ya I guess I better go...

(This scene is at Seattle Grace and Bailey is giving the interns their assignments)

Bailey: Karev you are with Mark,

Yang: oh what happened in obstetrics? did Alex get a hysterectomy?

Alex: After you got a vasectomy!

George and Meredith laughed continuously:

Bailey: Ok, ok enough already, what age are you guys again? Anyways, Yang and George you're with Shepard, and Meredith, your Addison.

Alex: wow, now that's going to be interesting.

Meredith-Bailey, I mean that must be a mistake, I mean Addison does not want to see me, I mean this won't be good,

Bailey: Meredith, as far I'm concern, her husband left her for you, so the least you can do for her and yourself is learning her amazing skills and help her.

Alex: Uh huh. (Alex smirks and then redirects his eyes to seeing the person, who he can't take his eyes off of……,…izzie

"The Blowers Daughter"(Damien Rice)

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Izzie caught Alex's eyes, and they stared at each other for 5 whole minutes,

Izzie's thoughts'

Oh my gosh why I'm here, there's Alex, my heart hurts, I can't breathe, I shouldn't feel this way it's wrong of me , this is not right, I can't, I can't be here.

George goes up to Izzie

George: Iz are you ok, you look exhausted, Iz…

Izzie: George, George, I got to go, I... I can't do this.(Izzie was breathing hard, and ran to the elevator. As she was in there she was crying continuously, and suddenly, Denny' voice came into her head.

Denny: Iz, sweetheart, don't cry, I'm gone, and I'm never coming back, it doesn't mean you can't live still. Please live you life, because it hurts me to see you hurt, it makes me feel like I ruined your life, you have such great promise, and I know forever that you will love me, but you need to move on, you need to use that beautiful heart of yours to save lives..

Izzie: But Denny, if I'm such a good doctor, then why couldn't I save the one person who occupies my heart?

Denny: Izzie, nobody could have saved me, and neither could you, It was my time, I mean now I'm not in pain anymore. And Izzie I'm not the one person who occupies your heart and you know that, and it's not bad to be in love with someone else. I mean after all Alex loves you back, I swear, I feel he loves you more than I loved you, and you love him more than you love me, which isn't bad at all, you're the only person he has ever loved, and you need to tell him Iz that you love him too, I will always love you Izzie Stevens, my hero, and yes you may have not saved my life, but that's not your fault, but actually you did save my life, you gave me a happy ending, I died in love, I died believing I was going to marry the most beautiful, sweetest person on earth, and I thank you for that, because if it wasn't for you, I would have never called my Dad, I would have died alone. It's time for you to go to work, and it's time for you to let go of me, and get out this elevator.

Izzie: Bye Denny, I love you (Izzie said crying and knowing all he said was true)

Never too Far Away (Mariah Carey)

A place in time
Still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories there is solace

Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
Cause I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
And though we can never be
I'll always think of you and me
Always remember

The elevator door open and there he was, the love of her life, Alex Karev, standing there, waiting for me to leave Denny's room, to leave the night of the prom behind, there he was…

Alex: Izzie, it's okay, I'm here for you

Izzie: I know Alex, I know (Izzie left the elevator and held on to Alex as she cried, she was letting go of Denny)

Alex: Izzie, I don't want to see you see sad, I'm not letting you hurt anymore, and I love you Isobel Stevens.

Izzie: I know, I've always known...

Alex and Izzie walked out the hospital….

"Swallowed In The Sea"

You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that's what made me see
Where I was going wrong
You put me on a shelf
And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line
And hung me out to dry
And darling that's when I
Decided to go to see you

You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me realize
What I could not see

And I could write a book
The one they'll say that shook
The world, and then it took
It took it back from me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you'll come back to me

So that's it so far, I'm still writing more of course, I want to make them come back together take a little bit longer, so please leave comments and give me your opinions, thank you all for all the comments you left so far!
