Jolex: Izzie's Return

Chapter Nine

Alex
I went over the surgery with Izzie again, although it seemed like she only used her plans to create it. The surgery itself was a basic chest repair. Izzie was brought in because of her extensive knowledge on Marfan syndrome so I thought she would have came up with something better, something that would lessen the surgeries this boy would have to have in the future, but she didn't. It made me question why she was here at all. Nevertheless, we came up with a game plan and then went into surgery. The first hour of the surgery went by fast. Everyone in the room stayed silent unless something was needed. I thought Izzie would know better than to bring up something other than what she was doing during the surgery. My hypotheses were always wrong about Izzie. Like when I thought she would stay, or when I thought she would come back.

We were only around two hours into the surgery when Izzie finally spoke. "So how long have you two been together?" She questioned.

"Years" I answered bluntly.

"She seems... not your type."

I don't let the comment affect me "suction" I say to the scrub nurse on my right. She hands it to me almost immediately.

"So how did you meet?" Izzie said

"She was working in a strip club trying to make ends meet and I was just so sad after you left and was looking for some company. One thing lead to another and then she started staying with me. I'm honestly tired of her but if I drop her on her ass she will be homeless. Can't have that now can we?" I spoke fast trying to get her to shut up. I didn't want to talk to her. I wasn't mad at her I just knew she was on a mission to find out something or to do something and I wanted no part in it. I wanted to be left alone.

"Oh wow that just makes so much sense. She seems like a male order bride though." She laughs "I think you got your story mixed up."

I put in a fake smile " You should probably change the subject or stop talking." I said

"Okay then." She sighed "are you still living with Meredith?"

"Enough about my life let's talk about yours. You in a relationship?"

"No. I'm single as a shingle. I've tried them but something follows me around that men just don't like." She trails off

"What is it? HIV?"

"Wow you are really full of it today. No it's not HIV." She looks up at me "just because you are notorious for picking up dirty sluts doesn't mean I'm one."

I laugh sarcastically. I hear my phone buzz on the table. "Who is it?" I ask

"It's from Dr. Wilson. It says 'I don't feel too well so Deluca is filling my place in Grey's surgery and I will do my paperwork at home.' Do you want to reply?" The nurse asks.

"Yeah just tell her I'm in surgery right now but I can be home around 6 if she needs me." I think for a moment "oh and ask her if she wants me to pick up dinner"

I feel Izzie's gaze shift to me. "What's wrong with her?"

I look back at her. "I don't know she has been feeling bad off an on for the past month." I shift my gaze back to the table. "And she isn't pregnant we checked."

Izzie whispers "Maybe it's HIV."

I ignore her and focus on the surgery. These next few hours would be the longest ones of my life.
