I own nothing. Just my perception of the characters.

Here I was, in Forks, Washington. It is the bane of my existence. I loathe the thought of coming here, but alas, it is my 10 year high school reunion. I was coerced to come by none other than Alice Brandon.

The thing you have to understand, is that I haven't been to Forks since I graduated high school. I was taunted and teased relentlessly until I left for Ohio the day after graduation and didn't look back.

However, my first day in, I find myself in the ER with a possible concussion and some hot doctor checking me out. Why, you may ask?

Well, my cousin, Emmett, and his wife, Rosalie, decided to take Alice and I to a place called "The Barn" for a night of drinking and music. That was all well and good until Jessica Stanley tried to pick a fight with me and tackled me into a pile of bricks. Luckily, Rosalie was there to punch her in the teeth.

"Miss Swan, can you tell me what day it is?" the good doctor asks.

I refrain from rolling my eyes, because I'm pretty sure he'll think I'm having a seizure, and tell him that it's Monday and that I'm fine. I want to tell him that HE is fine, but I'm pretty sure that it would be in bad taste for me to do so, so I just let it be and ogle in silence.

"So, are you looking forward to your reunion this Saturday?" He asks. I look at him in confusion and he laughs. "I'm asking, because your friends were concerned that you wouldn't be able to make it. I assured them you're going to pull through just fine."

I motion for him to lean in and talk to me. "I will give you anything you want if you tell them I might be laid up for a couple of weeks. I really, really don't want to go to this reunion." I beg.

He smirks. "Why wouldn't you want to see all of your old high school friends?"

I huff. "I was a social pariah. The only friends I had are standing outside and a guy I messed around with on the last day of school in the AV room. Edward something. He was awkward at best, so I can't really call him a friend, more like a fuck buddy, if we'd actually done it more than the one time. He took my virginity."

The doctor looks at me in shock. "Holy shit, I don't have a filter. I had absolutely no reason to tell you all of that. I was just trying to explain my lack of friends. I'm almost positive you didn't want to know all of that." I did a facepalm and wanted to melt into the bed.

The doctor regained his composure and cleared his throat. "I'm sure it's just the medicine. It's probably just making you feel really comfortable, which is its purpose, so you don't feel so self-conscious."

I nodded. I mean, it made some sense, I suppose. I could hear those tools outside the room howling with laughter over the shitfest that is verbal prowess with this doctor.

The doctor wrote some things down on a clipboard and smiled at me. Did I mention this guy was hot? "So, you plan to stay home the entire time to avoid any people? What are you going to do when you get to the reunion?"

I'm not totally sure why this guy is so interested in my plans. But, I feel oddly comfortable, or really high, so I just keep blurting shit out.

"Well, my friend, Alice, she thinks that I should try to hook up with Jake Black. He was the school dream guy back in the day. Well, I mean, if she had her way, I would've ended up marrying that Edward dude. So, anyhow, I guess I'm going to see what that Jacob guy is about these days. I don't know, I guess that's probably stupid." I blushed.

He cleared his throat. "I don't think that's stupid at all, Bella, er, Miss Swan."

"Bella is fine."

He smiles. "Well, Bella, everybody has that someone in high school that they wish they had a chance with. Maybe you will get lucky."

"What about you, doc? You have that with anybody in high school? The one girl you wish you could have? Would've done things differently?"

He rubs the back of his neck. "Uh, yeah. I mean, I thought I had her at first. Turns out, she had the hots for some other guy."

"What a bitch." I mutter. "Well, I'm sure you can do better than her. She sounds like a douche." I smile gently at him. "I mean, if I weren't trying to get up on Jake Black, I'd totally try and hit on you."

He laughed loudly and I liked it. Alice ushered in and smiled apologetically at the doctor. "I'm so sorry, Dr. Cullen. She must be doped up pretty good, huh?"

Dr. Cullen… That seems so familiar. "Your dad isn't Carlisle Cullen is he?" I ask.

The doctor wrote a few more things down and asked me a series of questions. "Do you feel any discomfort anywhere in particular?"

I sat still for a moment. "Well, I can feel my heartbeat in my ass cheeks, if that helps." Emmett guffawed loudly in the hallway and everybody else chuckled.

"I believe you're going to be fine, Miss Swan. I'll be back shortly with your prescriptions and instructions for the next couple of days."

Alice sits down next to me and shakes her head. She acts totally disappointed in me for some reason, and I try to explain to her that I can't the fact that I'm all drunk and drugged up. I totally didn't ask Jessica Stanley to start a fight with me and I didn't want to end up in the hospital in the first place.

"Bella, I think you should stop talking to this doctor about personal stuff. I think you're going to end up saying something you'll regret later, okay?" Alice suggests. I'm about to respond when Dream Doctor comes waltzing in with my release papers and my meds.

"Okay, you need to sign here." He hands me two forms. "Also, you need to get these filled as soon as possible, and take them as recommended. No alcohol." He smirks.

I feel my face heat with embarrassment. "I am so sorry, Dr. Cullen. I don't even know what happened earlier. I may be missing a small part of my brain, if you want to check that out, too." Alice slaps her hand over my mouth to stop any further embarrassment.

Dr. Cullen laughs. "It's no problem, I assure you. So, you just need to be extra careful this week. Don't want you to have to miss that reunion."

I nod and smile gratefully. He stops me at the door. "Oh, and yes, my father is Dr. Carlisle Cullen. But, you can call me Edward."

It was a good thing I was in the hospital, because I immediately fainted into the darkness.

Once I woke up, I realized I was in my childhood bed and it was daylight. Alice was snoring, loudly, next to me. I elbowed her in the back and she woke up.

"What the fuck happened last night, Twiggy?" I asked. My ass hurt like nothing else and I started piecing the events of last night together, slowly.

She was immediately awake and ready to give me every last embarrassing detail, including the fact that I had insulted Edward to his face. You'd think I would at least remember his last name, for Pete's sake. He did take the most valuable thing any girl has to their name.

"Oh my gosh, it was so awful, Bella. But he was so good about it. He took it all in stride. Very professional."

"I don't give a shit, Alice. You could've at least warned me to shut the hell up. Why on earth would you let me keep going on like that?"

"I'm so sorry, Bella. I tried, but Emmett was getting a kick out of the whole thing, and wouldn't let me go until Rosalie threatened to stop all sex."

Thank god for Rosalie. If it weren't for her I would have been smashed to a pulp and further humiliated. Humiliated doesn't even begin to describe the way I feel, though. I'm mortified.

"Why didn't he look familiar? I mean, nothing about him looks familiar." I told her. "It's frustrating. He shouldn't be allowed to be good-looking."

Alice sighed and leaned her head on my shoulder. "His hair is the same. If you really think about it, that is. It's the same color and all crazy, like in high school. I don't know anyone else who has hair like that."

She was right. He had the most unique hair color I'd ever seen. She interrupted my thoughts. "Look at the bright side, at least you didn't go into detail about how awful your first time was and that you thought it was a big mistake and wish you could take it back."

After finally getting my ass in gear, I went to the grocery store to buy some things that Alice and I actually liked, versus the things we HAD to eat at my parents' house. I didn't think it mattered what I looked like, since it was super early in the morning and I didn't see any real traffic out. I just threw on a hoodie, my pajama bottoms, and a pair of flip flops. Nothing like shopping in comfort.

I was perusing through the melons, trying to find the right kind, when a voice whispered in my ear. "Get the ones at the bottom, they're fresh."

I turned around quickly, which was a mistake, because my ass regretted it. "Well, if it isn't Bella Swan. I heard you were back in town."

It was Jacob Black. "You work here?" I asked. He nodded happily. "How long have you worked here? I thought you worked here in high school or something."

He laughed. "Yeah, I've been working here for 10 years now. I'm hoping I'll get management soon. Keeping my fingers crossed." He literally showed me his crossed fingers.

I could, however, overlook the fact that he had a shitty job with the fact that: a) he had a job ; and b) he was still unbelievably hot.

"I thought you wanted to be a mechanic or something." I asked, like a stalker.

He smiled at me. "You remember that?" I nodded. "Cool. Well, this job has really great hours. So, I can still go out and hang out at the barn and all that whenever I want. So, are you staying with the Chief this week or what?"

"Yeah. I didn't make any sense to get a hotel room." I trailed off. "What about you?"

"I have my own place." He said, as he looked me up and down. "Well, it's in the basement of my parents' house, but I've renovated it into a full apartment."

"Awesome."

"Well, hey, I have to get back to work. I, uh, maybe we can go out while you're here. You should see my movie collection. You were a movie buff weren't you? You were like Rain Man of movie trivia."

Kill me. "Yeah, that sounds great." I want to die, not because he invited me, but because he pretty much just called me Rain Man. Yay.

As I continued to stroll around the aisles, I was tapped on the shoulder.

"That seems like an extremely difficult decision that you're making." I heard. It was his voice.

He looked like sex just got out of the bed and walked into this store. He had a tight fitting shirt, pajama bottoms and Nike slide on sandals. "How are you feeling today, Miss Swan?"

"Do you make it a habit of stalking all of your patients in grocery stores, or is this your first time?" I blurted out.

"It's not a habit. I just happened to be here shopping and saw you. Do you have a habit of laying out how awkward I am to people?" He chuckled.

I turned around with the box of cereal I had in my hand and accidentally stabbed him in the cheek with a corner. "I am so sorry. Shit."

He rubbed his cheek and laughed. "It's no problem. There's actually a warning on the door that the food fights back in here."

I laughed. "What the hell ever. So yeah, I'm fine. My ass does hurt a little, but not as much as it did this morning."

We stood there for a couple of minutes in awkward silence before he looked at his watch and bid farewell.

So today, I found out that my life long crush works as a cart guy at the grocery store and I stabbed Edward in the fact with a box of cereal. Awesome. Not to mention, that I woke up with ass pain.

If every day is a gift, then today is socks.

What do you think? Gotta' love when Bella sticks her foot in her mouth!
