Hello I'm back again, would have been here sooner butunfortunatelyI'm an idiot. I left my memory stick with everything on it in my pocket and it went through the washing machine. Surprisingly it didn't work afterwards, oops! I then, being the genius that I am, broke my laptop after I had painstakingly rewritten everything. Honestly it could only happen to me!

Chapter Fourteen:

By Rosa241

Alex POV:

I can't help sighing as I finally get home, damn what a day! I tell you what if there was a competition for the worst day in history then there was a good chance I would win. Hell!

"Bad day?" A voice questioned from behind me. Jumping slightly it takes a moment before I realise that it's just George. After living alone for so long it's strange to have someone else in the flat but I'll admit it's going to be much easier on my bank account.

"The worst. You hear what happened with the patient?" I know by now that basically the entire hospital has heard about what happened with Brandon and judging from what the whispers I've heard most people think that somehow it's my fault.

"Yep. What happened?" George takes a seat next to me on the couch, looking at me curiously.

"You mean you haven't figured it out through the hospital gossip chain? Apparently I'm an evil son of a bitch that's hung Izzy out to dry." Okay so maybe I'm a little angry but hell can you blame me? "I know she hates me but god I can't believe she would go this far."

"What happened?" He pushes again for an explanation and I can feel my anger bubbling to the surface.

"Izzy gave a patient a shot of penicillin despite my warning her that he was allergic to the stuff. Then when Bailey confronted us about the kid having a reaction and almost dying she tried to say that I hadn't told her anything." George is still giving me a curious look. "What you don't believe me?"

"No it's not that it's just...tell me everything." I set about telling him everything that happened today and surprisingly it feels good to get this all off my chest.

"I can't believe she would be so stupid!" My words are still full of anger and I can't help but direct that towards Izzy.

"How could she miss that?" Good old George. Most of the nurses are convinced that I've made the mistake and that I've left Izzy to take the blame. I don't care what people think of me but I have to work with these people every day, how can I work with them if they think I'm going to do something like this? "Seriously didn't she read the notes? And you told her about it so how could she miss it?"

"I don't know George, I don't know." Before I can say anymore a knock at the door interrupts my thoughts. "Woohoo, visitors!" Yes I'm being sarcastic.

George heads over and answers the door, not that he needs to since I already know whose there. There are only three people who know where my flat is, George, Meredith and Sloan. Since George now lives here it's between Sloan and Meredith, my money's on Sloan.

"So, I hear you've been getting into trouble Karev." I can hear the teasing in his voice and I don't need to turn round to see the disapproving look on George's face.

"What do you want Sloan?" George quickly takes the position next to me on the couch whilst Sloan hops onto the counter.

"I came here to comfort you in your hour of need and this is the response I get. How charming!" I'm not sure when Sloan and I became friends but somewhere along the line we did. I suppose I should be grateful that there will be at least two people on my side come tomorrow morning.

"Any idea what happened to Izzy?" I question after several minutes of awkward silence, something tells me that George and Sloan aren't exactly the best of friends.

"No, but if the way Bailey was storming round the hospital when I left is anything to go by I would say that it didn't go well." There's a hint of humour in his voice but his words send a thought into my brain.

"Any idea whether the mother made a complaint?" Neither answers my question but we all know the seriousness of it. If the mother made a complaint it could mean serious consequences for Izzy.

"For Izzy's sake we better hope not." Despite my anger at the woman I can't help but echo George's sentiments.

Izzy'sPOV:

I can feel the anger boiling inside me, my whole body is shaking and I can feel tears pricking my eyes. Why the hell did this have to happen? How could Alex do this to me?

"Izzy?" Meredith's soft voice interrupts my internal tirade. "You okay?"

"What do you think Meredith!?" I snap at her, does she honestly think that I'm 'okay'?

"Look Izzy..." She tries to play peace maker, that's what Meredith does, but I'm not having any of it.

"No Meredith. Don't you dare go defending Alex not after what he's done to me."

"Alex? How is this Alex's fault?" Seriously Meredith?

"Oh my god! Of course this is his fault! He didn't tell me about the allergy he's lying!" She seems shocked at the vemon that comes from my mouth. "I don't know how he convinced the mother to lie for him, probably sleeping with him...wouldn't be surprised if he was..." Meredith heaves a heavy sigh before she speaks again.

"Look Izzy I don't understand what happened today and at the end of the day it's none of my business, it's between you, Alex and the patient. But what I do know is that a child could have died today because you gave him an injection that he was allergic to. That's not Alex's fault, that's down to you. Whether Alex told you or not about the allergy you should have seen it on the chart."

What. The. Hell.

"Are you being serious here? Of all the people to be on Alex's side are you seriously going to abandon me? I can't believe you. You're supposed to be my friend, how can you do this to me?" Could this day possibly get any worse?

"Abandon you? Izzy for crying out loud I'm trying to help you. If you keep going like this then you're going to lose your job, and that will be your fault not Alex's or Bailey's or George's fault, that's all down to you." No way in hell am I standing for this.

"Help me? If you were trying to help me then you would be on my side. You would see the person that Alex is and you'd be trying to stop George from making a huge mistake." Am I really the only one who can see what is going on here?

"Mistake? Moving out to find himself is a mistake? Trying to be more independent is a mistake?" The look in her eyes right now is something I'm not used to seeing, I can't quite place it but the words disappointed come to mind.

"Getting involved with Alex is a mistake! He cheated on me Meredith!"

"Who cares!" This time she yells at me, her voice rising unnaturally. "I'm sorry that Alex cheated on you but let's face the facts, that was a long time ago. I know it probably still hurts but Alex can't change that now, he's apologised and you're holding the past over him unfairly. He's changed Izzy; everything that happened with Ava has changed him."

"You see Ava that's exactly what I'm talking about. She tried to commit suicide because of him." I don't get any further before a stinging slap from Meredith shocks me into silence.

"Don't you dare. Ava had problems, real problems that were not Alex's fault. Don't you dare try and blame him for that." Her voice is strained, like she's trying to control herself but struggling. She hesitates before giving up and walking out of the room.

How can this be happening? How can no one see what's going on?

Rubbing the stinging sensation on my cheek I sit down on the bed. I can't let Alex get away with this. I won't. I have to do something about him and I will. But what?

Bailey's POV:

Heaving a heavy sigh as I take a seat I can't help but feel the exhaustion draining through my body. Thankfully Celia Burton had decided not to make an official complaint but she made it damn clear that she was very unhappy. Not that I'm surprised. Hell if it had been my child I would have probably beaten the hell out of Stevens, I know the girl has some issues at the moment but how in the hell can she miss something like this?

I'll never understand just why people can't leave there personal lives at the hospital door. I'm not going to lie I've had my issues over the years, sometimes leaving your own issues at the door is almost impossible but you've got to find a way to do it. Whether you drink yourself into oblivion on your night off or whether like most doctors you choose to have a counsellor. It doesn't matter how you do it but you have to find a way because if you don't you won't last long in the job.

The conversation with Steven's earlier is still running through my mind.

Flashback:

As Alex walks out the door I finally let loose.

"Not only did you miss the allergy on the chart which is bad enough as a doctor who is trained to read those damn things but you ignored the advice of a fellow doctor." I'm trying hard to contain myself right now but hell it's not easy. "You were told about the allergy, it was on the chart yet you still somehow managed to almost kill the boy."

"Alex didn't tell me about-" Don't you even try it.

"Don't Stevens, just don't. I've got a report from the mother stating that she heard Karev tell you about the allergy so don't sit there and tell me that he didn't." She rolls her eyes at me before she speaks again.

"The boy didn't die, he's still alive."

"Thanks to Karev. He's the one who spotted the reaction, he's the one who acted first and saved the boys life. From the reports I've had you froze. Don't try and pin this on Karev, don't." She stares at me like I've just told her she was from another planet.

"He's trying to pin this on me!" She shouts, standing from her chair as she does.

"This is your fault!" My voice rises but I force myself to stay as calm as I can. "I've spoken with the chief and we both agree that a weeks suspension is in order."

"What? No-"

"Don't argue, given the way you've been acting these last couple of weeks you should thank your lucky stars that nothing more has happened. I don't need to tell you what would have happened if the mother had chosen to make a complaint but thankfully she's decided against it." I take a breath before continuing. "Now, go home. I don't want to see you in this hospital until the 20th. When you return you will report directly to me. Go."

I can see the tears in her eyes as she walks out of the door my heart goes out to her.

End Flashback:

As angry as I am with Stevens right now I can tell there is something serious going on with her. I think I can tell what the problem is but Stevens is unwilling to accept the fact that she is in love with him. She doesn't want to accept it and thinks that reacting this way will be much easier than having to face the problem.

Eventually that girl is going to have to face up to what's going on and hopefully this suspension will get that message through but if not...then I really do fear for her future here.

Oh poor Izzy certainly has some problems! Just who is she in love with Alex or George? And just what does she plan to do about Alex? Will she ever realise the truth?Hmm...stay tuned and you shall find out. And providing I don't put this memory stick through the wash then it shouldn't be too long until the next chapter is up.
