Chapter Eleven:
By Rosa241
George's POV:
Stupid Izzy! How dare she say that!? How dare she! Where the hell does she get off talking about people that way!? She's supposed to be the nice, good one but no! God when she needs me I'm there for her, even if she's doing something I don't agree with I'm still there for her. The LVAD thing, I was willing to take them blame, so was Alex yet she conveniently seems to have forgotten that!
Realising where I am I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When I left I didn't really know where I was going but somehow I've ended up here. Knocking on the door I have to cross my fingers and hope that he answers.
"Dude what the hell? Do you know what time it-oh, George!" Alex opens the door, rubbing his eyes slightly and suppressing a yawn. "What's going on?"
"Um...can...can I stay here for the night? I had a fight with Izzy and I just...just can't stand the thought of going back there tonight." Part of me almost wants him to say no, me staying here will only make Izzy even madder but then why should I care about her?
"Oh, sure. Come in, after all you are going to be living here eventually." The silence is awkward for a moment as we both stand there, not quite sure where we go from here. "What were you guys fighting about anyway?"
"Told her that I was moving out. Didn't really go so well." Understatement of the century!
"Didn't honestly think that it would. What'd she say? You know to upset you." I was sort of hoping he wouldn't ask that. Sighing I know I have to tell him.
"I told her I was moving out and that I was moving in with you and, well..."
Flashback:
"Alex? You're moving in with Alex?" Her eyes narrow sharply, clearly she's not happy about this.
"Yes. Alex's got a spare room, he offered so I accepted." I really hate the way she looks whenever someone dares to mention his name. She treats him like he's the devil.
"Alex? The jerk who cheated on me, who made a fool out of me and made me feel like I was dirt! That Alex!?" When did this become about her? "You're are supposed to be my best friend and you do this!"
"Look, Alex has changed; he's not the same person who he was before. He's different now, if you'd only open your eyes then you'd see that." She glares at me, oh I know that glare. She's gearing up for something I can tell.
"Alex is a horrible person...he's a horrible person. He treated me like dirt and like I was nothing! You do know that he probably only wants to scrounge off of you right? Probably just wants to use and abuse you like he did me. You know he told me that he's actually bisexual, that he likes guys sometimes. Thinking about it he probably wants to get into your pants, a live in booty call. That's the kind of thing that people like him want."
"People like him? Just what exactly are you suggesting?" Just how I haven't blown my top is a mystery to me. "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that Alex is a dirty whore!" Her words echo round the room.
"You are such a bitch." I whisper before storming out of the room.
"George! Don't you walk away from me!" She screams after me.
End Flashback:
"And then I left and came here." He gives me a strange look before shrugging.
"Well you're welcome to stay here, you can move in whenever you want." Seriously that's it!
"You don't mind what she said. Her words didn't hurt you at all?" If Izzy had said something like that about me I don't think I'd ever be able to handle it. Once again he shrugs, like its nothing.
"Hey if I bothered myself over every bad thing that people said about me then I don't think I'd get out of bed in the morning. Sticks and stones O'Malley." As he wanders back towards his room I can't help but admire him. "Spare room is just down the hall."
How can he just brush what she said off?
Meredith POV:
"You said what?" My voice just about shakes the room as I yell. "What the hell is the matter with you!?"
"Why is everyone defending Alex? He CHEATED ON ME! He slept with another woman." She yells back at me, determind to fight her corner.
"Look, Izzy what Alex did was wrong, very wrong, but a lot has happened since then. You can't hold it over his head forever." She glares at me, what the heck did I say that was so wrong?
"He cheated on me Meredith, he broke my heart. And George thinks that its okay for him to be best buddies with the guy all of a sudden. Well you know what it's not okay! I don't want him and Alex being friends. I'm supposed to be George's best friend, he's supposed to back me up but instead he's doing this to me!" Wow, self involved much?
"This is not about you Izzy, George is moving out because he wants to. Not because of anything to do with Alex. George has had to put up with a lot since moving in here and honestly, I think him moving out will be good. He can't really be himself here. He can't really bring people back because of the situation with you, he can't meet anyone...maybe now he can do that. Maybe now he can start to come out of his shell a little." I was hoping that my words would get through to her but clearly not.
"But don't you see? George is innocent and good, Alex is...Alex is like a tumour. He just destroys everything good and I'm not going to let him destroy George." Where the hell does she get off talking like this?
"Not everything in life is about you Izzy. Whatever you think of Alex doesn't matter, the fact of the matter is that despite what you think you have to support George. If you keep this up then you're going to lose George forever." With that I walk away, I have to. If I don't then I might just hit her. Wandering back into my room I sigh heavily as Derek looks up at me.
"Went well then?" I merely roll my eyes and get into bed. "Izzy really is being so unreasonable."
"How do you think she's going to react when Alex and George finally give up the pretending and get together?" His words send a shiver down my spine. I honestly have no idea but I really don't think it's going to go well.
Tada! Okay now I know that's not very long but the next chapter will be.
