The biggest day of your life

EPV

The biggest days of your life aren't the ones you thought they would be. The days you thought would be the biggest don't live up to it. The biggest days of your life turn out to be the ordinary days. The day you start a new job. The day you get what you want. The day you realise you don't want it. These are the biggest days of your life, but wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Today was my first day at work. I wasn't even paying attention to a lot of it. I had been mourning Bella for 10 years. 10 long, miserable years. It was so bad that jasper couldn't stand to be near me, so of course Alice had to go with him. Today was the day I decided to please my family. They got me a job to distract me, and no, the irony of that is not lost on me. I was going to work for the most difficult person to ever walk the earth. I did not think this would be extraordinary. Hell, I did not think period.

Rosalie, Carlisle and I were going to pose as doctors that had just finished their residencies. We got a job with Dr. Bass, head of Diagnostics. We went into Jack Crawford's (dean of medicine) office because he wanted to see us before our work commenced. He told us about our boss. Dr. Bass sounded like Jason Bourne. No memory and extraodinarily good at one thing. Unlike Jason Bourne Dr. Bass was married with children.

During a lecture I was not really listening to the door burst open. "Jesus Bass!" Crawford exclaimed, "What the hell is this?"

"Police escort." Bella replied nonchalantly. Crawford asked us to leave the room and Carlisle and Rosalie had to practically drag me from there. We listened from the outside. "Why the hell did you come to work in handcuffs?" he continued.

Turns out she was trying to break into her own house. If it weren't for the strong smell of liquor I would not have understood. He told her that he had taken the liberty to hire new employees for her and she was not to fire us without having giving us a fair chance. She agreed, mainly because he verified her identity to the police.

I answered the question my father and my sister did not want to voice. "We're staying." I could not possibly tear myself away from Bella now, even if she was married with kids. She came out right after the discussion was concluded. I retrieved the most commendable comments I had heard about her. "Dr. Bass I've heard great things about your work." I didn't even get to finish the praise before she shot me down.

"Don't bother sucking up, I already hate you." Well I didn't think that would be the first sentence at our reunion. She walked to her office and instructed us to stay in the big room with a table, which I assumed would be the place we occupied, by slamming the door in our faces. We sat and listened to her undress and redress in silence. She opened the door in all her half naked glory. She had put on a pair of skinny jeans that hugged her… focus Edward! And a lacy black bra that left very little to my already overactive imagination and said, "Coffee." I made coffee while she wrote fast on her phone and then slipped it into her pocket. Carlisle and Rosalie were shocked at Bella's lack of modesty, as was I.

I handed her coffee in the only cup in the room. She took a swig and then spit it back into the cup I hated so passionately. Did I mention the writing on its side. It said Bass's Izzy. She wasn't Izzy. She was Bella. "Jigsaw made my coffee taste like Christmas. This tastes like shit." She put it back on the table and walked back into her office and put the rest of her clothes on but not before we saw the strange scars on her back and a tattoo of her last name. I don't think she likes me very much anymore.

"You," she looked at Carlisle and pointed to her office door, "make sure I don't here that bloody phone ringing. I have a throbbing hangover." Carlisle was so happy to see some fire in my eyes that it gave him even greater joy to be of assistance to Bella but before he got up she said, "You're not my employees. You have to prove you're useful first. Go to the free clinic and get me nurse Jordan's panties." We all knew she wasn't joking. She didn't get her bad reputation from nowhere. She then crawled under the table and lay facedown, "Now."

Never to be outdone Rosalie exited. "Sort my damn mail." Carlisle and I went through the mail at an acceptable pace and in silence. He didn't know what to say, neither did I. Most were requests for Bella to diagnose people or their loved ones. Not long into the sorting Rosalie came back with red lacy underwear that definitely belonged to her. When she gave it to Bella she got a smile, "Jordan's wearing grey cotton panties today but I admire your shamelessness so you're hired." I must say, I did not expect her to be rewarded for cheating. I was not usually competitive but I was not letting this opportunity slip through my fingers.

I left Rosalie and Carlisle sorting mail, looked for a nurse Jordan and did the only thing I could do: I offered her $3000 for her underwear. Good thing she was a single mother of three children. I then hunted down Jigsaw (Boy it's hard to find someone without their real identity to go on) and paid her $1000 to teach me how to make coffee taste like Christmas. Turns out you just add cinnamon.

I went back to the office feeling happier than I had in ten years. That disappeared as soon as I left my happy place and came back to earth. Bella's husband was in the room with his dirty paws all over her. Of course I'm jealous! He was married to the love of my life. She had his children. His arms were around her waist and he held her close to him. His face was buried in her hair and he had a sense of joy I resented because it should have been mine.

The biggest days of your life are the days you thought would be ordinary. The day you start a new job. The day you get everything you want. The day you realise you do not want it. Bella is living a normal human life. She has everything I ever wanted for her and it's as if I never existed. I tell you, the person who said be careful what you wish because you just might get it must have been in a similar situation.

Just when I thought this day was as eventful as it could get, Charles Bass looked up and recognised me.

Author's Note: I just stole the names Charles Bass and Jack Crawford because I liked them. These aren't those characters. Hope you enjoyed. Leave me a review.
