Over a month have passed by since the prom night. He checked himself in his bathroom mirror again just like he did for the prom. But this time, it was for another whole event. He was wearing a black tux. He decided to wear a tie rather than a bow tie because he looked more appropriate in it. He sighed as he finished putting on the cufflinks. Today was the day where Izzie Stevens gets married to Denny freakin Duquette. The same man who took Izzie away from him. He didn't even know why he agreed to attend the wedding that was taking place in some fancy country club. Well, besides the fact that he gets to see how gorgeous Izzie is this day. She looked gorgeous everyday, but today was something special. Izzie Stevens was getting married. As in married married.

He was sitting besides Cristina and Burke, George and Callie, and Meredith and Derek who finally decided that they were destined for one another.
He saw Denny standing at the altar with his best man in tow. He was surprised to actually see him standing and fully alive and healthy. He smiled at him forcefully when he waved towards his direction.

It was official. Izzie Stevens was now Izzie Duquette. Alex rubbed his face with his hand and drank some wine all by himself in a table. He looked over his shoulder and saw Izzie and Denny dancing in a slow song. A month ago, that guy was him. He went back to drinking his wine profusely.
Just then he felt a tap on his shoulder.
He turned around just to see Meredith.
"Hey Alex," Meredith greeted.
Meredith saw him sitting all alone and decided to have some company with him. Alex grunted.
"What do you want?" His voice sounded gruffly. And it was obvious that he had way too many to drink.
"Nothing. I just wanted to see if you were okay" she hesitantly replied. She cringed. She shouldn't have said that.
"Why wouldn't I be okay? I'm the freakin happiest person in this whole damn building right now!" Alex harshly replied with his voice raising.
Meredith was taken aback at his yelling.
Alex sighed. He shouldn't have snapped at Meredith. She was just trying to be a friend.
"Sorry. I'm just…. Not in a good mood right now". Alex looked at her and smiled.
"I know the feeling. Trust me" Meredith replied.
"Yeah, you do." Alex retorted. Meredith laughed at him and hit him gently on the shoulder. With that, Alex took another sip of his wine.
