CODING ━ grey's anatomy

chapter thirty five

"What are you— I was asleep," Derek said confusedly, when he woke up and saw Cassie in between him and his girlfriend.

"Alex is moving in?" Cassie asked Meredith, ignoring Derek.

The blonde went to respond, when she was interrupted by the door opening. "Alex is moving into this house?" Izzie asked loudly, fresh out of the shower.

"He's taking George's room," Meredith said.

"Oh," Cassie shrugged. "Okay."

"Why?!" Izzie groaned.

"I was asleep just a minute ago," Derek huffed.

"Yeah, and I was naked in the bathroom when Alex walked in. I'm lucky I didn't come out of the shower to find him peeing all over the seat."

Derek sighed to himself. "And we're up."

"What's wrong with where he was living before?" Izzie continued to question.

Meredith shrugged. "I don't know where he was living before."

Izzie scoffed. "Probably a whore house. I can't have him living in the room next door, it's weird."

"People are what matters," Meredith smiled.

"People are what matters? You don't like people."

"I had a near death whatever. I was dead, and now I'm not, so I'd like to use this chance I've been given to be more positive. People are what matters. Paint with all the colors of the wind," Meredith grinned.

"I agree. Alex is one of our people, we can't leave him out in the cold," Cassie added. "Also, you look really pretty today, Izzie."

Izzie froze, Meredith frowned, and Derek slowly walked backwards into the room.

Looking behind her as if there were a secret camera crew waiting to catch the moment, Izzie's face morphed into one of confusion. "Are you... being nice to me?"

"Are you being nice to her?" Derek and Meredith questioned in unison.

Cassie smiled. "Yep."

"But, why?"

"Why not?"

Meredith gave her a look. "Because it's weird. You're not nice to Izzie, we all know this."

Her smile turning into a frown, Cassie grumbled as she pulled up the covers to her chin. "Fine, I won't do it again."

"No!" Izzie exclaimed, having been waiting for this for months. "No, uh, it's okay. You can keep doing it. If you want. I was just, uh, caught off guard."

Rolling her eyes, Cassie gave the blonde a once over. "My shrink says I need to let go of the massive amount of hatred I have for you. So I'm trying. To let go. But to be completely honest, seeing your face first thing in the morning is making that kind of hard."

Slowly taking it all in, Izzie asked, "Okay, so like, should I go, or—"

"Oh, god yes."
