Sorry if it took a very long time to update. I'm not quite good in making up stories so I don't really know how to continue this but I'm trying and I was also busy with school stuff.

I hope you like this chapter even thought it's short. And thanks for the reviews

They were all waiting for Izzie outside the operating room just like before when she had cancer. Even Alex was there too…

After the surgery, Alex was passing by Izzie's room secretly checking up on her. He doesn't want to let the others know that he still cared for her. Mark just happens to pass by and saw Alex but he didn't notice Mark.

Just about when Alex is going to leave, Izzie suddenly coded. He rushed over Izzie and called help then Mark saw what happened and also ran to Izzie's room. Alex panicked a little bit remembering the same situation when Izzie had the surgery when she had cancer.

When Izzie became stable, she woke up. When she opened her eyes she saw Alex and Mark beside her.

"Alex?"

"Izzie do you remember everything now?" Alex asked

Izzie paused and tried to recall what happened. Then she looked at them as if she were shocked after remembering everything what had happened. "Yeah… I do. "

Alex smiled in relief and cupped Izzie's cheek. "Don't ever do that again."

Mark left without them noticing. He felt like he was a third wheel so he decided to attend to his other patients and talk to Izzie later.

All day Mark didn't come to Izzie's room but her friends did. He was busy with surgeries that day and he hesitated to visit Izzie thinking that she might treat him differently since she got her memory back. After all they weren't that close before.

Later that night when her friends weren't around Mark went to her room but he saw her sleeping. He is just staring at her for a couple of minutes and then she woke up.

"Hey.. How long have you been there?" I said in a soft voice trying to get up a little.

"You know you look much cuter when sleeping." Mark smiled a little ignoring her question. "Are you feeling a little better?"

"Yeah I'm good."

Mark went closer to Izzie's bed and sat down on a chair beside it. "So you and Karev are okay now?"

"Yeah…" She paused a little and looked at him wanting not to say it but she did "I heard he and Lexie are together now."

"Yep... A lot had happened when you left. And speaking of you leaving, what were you doing here before your great accident?"

Izzie looked down feeling a little sad. "I was visiting George's grave. I visit him once in a while without saying anything to Mer and Christina or Alex."

"And why didn't you?"

Izzie look into Mark's eyes and feels hesitant to say anything more because they weren't that close before the accident happen but still she did. "When I left, Alex doesn't want me to return here because he wants me to be happy… well, at least that's what he said."

"Are you?" He looked at her, it's like her face says it all and without saying anything he knew what was her answer to his question. There were a few minutes of silence but Izzie broke it first.

"Earlier Derek offered me a job back here but I… I don't know if it's a good idea or not. I'm thinking I should tell Alex about it and if he doesn't want me here then maybe I should go, right? "

"Well if you ask me, you should do what's best for you not for Alex or for anybody else. And besides, you said he wants you to be happy, right? You should do what ever you want. It's your life and it's your choice to make, not his." Mark sounded a little persuasive, he paused a little bit to think about what he is going to say next "Your friends are here and all the best and good-looking doctors that you can learn from are here." Mark threw his signature McSteamy look.

She laughed a little saying "I guess you're right about that."

"I'm always right" He said giving her a big smile "Just think about it okay?"
