Chapter 1

"What the hell is wrong?" Meredith demanded.

"What are you doing here?" Alex asked, bewildered.

Izzie took a second to catch her breath.

"Why were you screaming?" Meredith demanded.

"I thought… I saw something," Izzie said.

"Why are you here?" Alex asked again.

"I came to see you," Izzie said as her breathing calmed. "I missed you."

Alex's jaw dropped and his eyes widened but he shook it away quickly.

"I've got to go to work," he said, turning and walking.

Izzie felt a lump for in her throat and she tried to swallow it away.

"Iz," Meredith started.

"I'll be okay," Izzie said, cutting Meredith off. "I'm a big girl."

"Well you are welcome to stay in your old room."

Izzie smiled and nodded. "Thanks," she said.

"I'm going to work," Meredith said. "But I'll finish cooking the eggs first."

Izzie nodded and started up the stairs. Just then she heard movement in Alex's room. Had he decided to stay home?

She opened the door. "Alex-

She broke off and her jaw dropped at the sight. Lexie Grey was in Alex's room wearing only a bra and her underwear.

Lexie shrieked and grabbed a blanket, covering herself quickly.

Izzie ran out quickly and to her room. She slammed the door shut behind her and flopped down onto her bed.

She couldn't help but cry.

How the hell was he still sleeping with Lexie? How could he?

"You did leave him," a voice said from beside the bed.

Izzie shrieked out loud and jumped up.

"G-George?" she stuttered. "How the hell am I seeing you?"

George smiled slightly and disappeared.

Izzie screamed again and began to lose consciousness as she heard feet running up the stairs.

Everything went black.

Meredith finished the last of her eggs and placed the plate in the sink. She turned on the faucet to rinse it off when she heard a faint voice upstairs.

Izzie must have seen Lexie. Meredith didn't want to get involved in that one. She had already warned Lexie enough.

She turned off the sink and put the dish in the dishwasher.

"Meredith," a voice came from behind her.

"I thought you went to work Alex," Meredith said calmly.

"I did but I can't do that without the keys to my car. Have you seen them? I thought they were in my pocket."

Meredith held up keys over her head and waved them around.

"Give 'em up Grey."

"Go speak to Izzie."

"Meredith," Alex warned.

Meredith sighed and tossed Alex the keys. Alex caught them.

"Don't get involved in this," Alex said.

"I only gave you those because I understand."

"You understand?" Alex spit.

"I get it okay. You are all dark and twisty. You are me three years ago. You've lost the you who was bright and shiny, the you who was married."

"Well go sew that on a pillow and stop acting like you know what position I'm in. You don't!"

"Alex-

A sharp scream pierced from upstairs, cutting Meredith off and causing her to gasp.

She and Alex glanced at each other once before belting up the stairs.

Alex was running as fast as he could the second he heard Izzie scream.

The charged through Izzie's room and found her on the floor.

"Izzie!" Alex yelled. "What the hell happened?"

"She unconscious," Meredith gasped, running towards her.

"You think!" Alex yelled, sarcastically.

Meredith bent down and felt for Izzie's pulse.

"She's got a pulse," Meredith said.

Just then Izzie groaned and her eyes began to flutter.

"Iz," Mer murmured.

"Izzie?" Alex questioned as he kneeled down next to Meredith.

Lexie walked past the room and gasped when she saw the scene unfold.

"What happened?" Lexie gasped.

"I don't know," Meredith said.

Izzie's eyes opened.

Izzie heard faint voices.

"Iz." Meredith.

"Izzie?" Alex.

"What happened?" Lexie.

"I don't know," Meredith.

Izzie slowly opened her eyes.

The light burned them and she had to blink a few times. Her eyes slowly adjusted to the light and her nails dug into the ground.

"George," she croaked. "I saw him."

"What?" Alex asked, shaking his head.

She looked away from him and over to Meredith. "I saw him," she said, trying to prop herself up on her elbows. "I really did."

"Maybe we should get you to the hospital," Meredith said.

"I saw him," Izzie repeated.

"Come on," Alex said. "We need to get you to the hospital."

There was worry clear in his voice.

Meredith took one of Izzie's arms and helped her up. She stumbled a little and Alex pulled her up and into his arms.

"I only fainted because I saw George," Izzie went on. "I saw him."

"Which is why we are going to the hospital," Alex said as he and Meredith ran down the stairs.

Meredith ran to open the front door and Alex carried Izzie through it.

"Put me down!" she insisted.

"I'll put you down when we get in the car."

They ran to Alex's car where he dumped Izzie into the back seat.

"Hey!" she screamed.

Alex sat in the back with her and buckled her seatbelt for her before unconsciously putting his arm around her.

Izzie looked up at him and bit her lip before pulling herself tightly to him.

He hugged her back with so much force that it almost hurt.

But Izzie didn't mind. She finally got Alex back and now she never wanted to let go.

"Alex," she whispered.

Alex hugged her tighter before pulling back. "Izzie, I missed you so much. But we already gave this a try and it didn't work between us."

Izzie felt her heart nearly break. "Alex. I'm sorry I left. I was wrong and I love you."

"Iz, I'm sorry. But I can't have you leave me again. I can't… I mean I don't… I- I honestly don't know what to say."

"He's dark and twisty again," Meredith helped from the front seat.

"Gee thanks," Alex said sarcastically.

"I'm a professional dark and twisty. I know best about it," Meredith said.

Izzie turned her face to look out the window and waited until they got to the hospital.

When they did they took Izzie into the waiting room. She sat in one of the chairs in the emergency room and stared at the wall. Meredith went up to sign Izzie in and Alex's pager suddenly went off as he sat down.

"Crap," he hissed.

"Go," Izzie said. She heard Meredith's pager go off as well.

Meredith cursed under her breath and tucked the pager into her pocket.

"You guys can go. I'll wait in hear. It'll be fine."

"Are you sure?" Alex asked.

Izzie nodded her head and sunk down in her seat.

"Alright," Alex murmured. "I'll check in on you later."

Izzie nodded again but didn't say a word. Meredith waved her hand and she and Alex left.

Izzie sat for a little while. But suddenly she felt something touch her arm. She looked next to her and gasped, about to scream, but something was shoved over her mouth before she could.

George kept his hand tightly over her mouth. "Don't scream," he pleaded.

Izzie took a deep breath through her nose and nodded slowly.

George slowly pulled his hand away.

"You're dead," Izzie said immediately. "I was at your funeral. You died."

"Yeah," George said. "But now I'm here for you."

George smiled a half smile.

"I have to go see Derek Shepherd," Izzie said. She grabbed George's hand and pulled him with her.

"Wait," George said. "I died and that's all I get? No 'I missed you?'"

Izzie turned and bit her lip.

That was George for her. And he was standing right in front of her.

At that moment she realized what was really happening.

"Oh my god," she whispered. "You're you."

"I'm me," George chuckled.

"You died," Izzie said yet again. A tear rolled down her face and she pulled George to her.

Her breath caught in her throat and she pulled George to her as tightly as she could.
