To whom it may concern...

I'm calling this an artist's rendition of being a nurse. I have never and will never study or work as a nurse. I come from a family of them however I do not claim to know a single thing about nursing and the job's pros or cons...I'm just really icky about blood.

I've gotten all information about Oncology Nurses and their roles from: Role of Oncology Registered Nurse by US Oncology! ^-^

"Flores, your break is over in 2 annd...you're on floor one." Robert walked by me reading off his list. I nodded and took a sip of...okay thats water. I thought I'd made tea but I think I just filled the cup with lukewarm water. Whoops. I sighed and dumped out the mug, taking it with me in case I found a water cooler on the way that I wanted to get water out of. I was just really really tired.

I sat down in window six at the nurses station and began to flip through charts. I've actually kind of forgotten what I was here for. I knew I came here for something...OH. Mr Harrison's charts! Right right.

I felt air being pushed over my neck and froze, turning ever so slightly to right to see a student nurse. Right. She was with me today, this was 6 I guess. At least I wasn't in the A&E, then she'd be a real pain. I picked up the mug and took a sip of...air. Well then.

"Nurse Rena, theres nothing in that cup." She reminded me with a small smile.

"Well. Would you look at that, there isn't anything." I glared at the charts as I nodded.

"And what are you assigned to today?" I turned in the chair and raised a brow at the girl.

"Oh! I'm to listen to reports, giving medicine, and taki-giving! Giving baths." She nodded to herself after the correction. She was nervous, okay time for me to be little nicer to her.

"And..." I raised a brow as I waited for her to tell me which room she was assigned too. She frowned for a second before the light bulb went off.

"Oh! And I'm assigned to room 14 and 15." She nodded, happy with remembering.

"Right. Well we're in Dermatology. Today we're swinging by a Mr Harrison's room. Hes inpatient for...Pain management of...Scurvy? Good grief." I looked back down at the chart to find my answer. How the hell did he even have scurvy? Was he a part time Pirate?

"How are we treating that?" She asked next to me.

"By giving him fruit...basically." Man was 78 and apparently hadn't done too well with the treatments so he elected to spend the treatment time inside the hospital.

Cancer was honestly my specialty as I was trained in Oncology but sometimes when the other areas were understaffed I hung around there as well. Hell I'd even spent time answering phone calls and directing people to a random office. Fork's hospital wasn't exactly the empire state building.

"Is everything okay here?" I asked curiously. There was a flurry of action as we stepped off the stairs and went past the nurses station on the third floor. They all stopped and glared at me.

"Perfectly fine. Ms Flores." I saw blonde and immediately knew why everyone was fluttering around the desk when there was little to no reason for it. It really only began when a certain doctor started working at the hospital a few months ago basically.

"And why is everyone here then?" I motioned around at the desk as people slowly started to scatter, I had a loud voice when I was even just the slightest bit mad. They all cleared to reveal the object of interest.

It was Carlisle Cullen. I had to admit, I was attracted to the blonde hair and cut jaw but I was also very much suspicious. He was over qualified for Forks. Why would he bother to come here? Why were his eyes yellow sometimes then black? Why was he always so quiet? Why did he skip days when it was sunny? Why was he so cold? I felt like a paranoid hard-ass around him. The women and even men would spontaneously combust and lose all sense of logic.

"Always so proper." He popped a crooked smile and I forced myself to look at the charts in front of me. I kept my curiosity to myself as I reread Harrison's details.

"Someone has to be." I mumbled. This was a thing we did off and on since I'd met the man. Everyone else called it flirting but I called it war between myself and my hormones.

"You should get more rest." I felt a finger drift over my jaw stared harder at the boards. He'd really only gotten more and more confident with his moves since we'd started talking and sometimes I got caught up in it...Okay a few times I had. I might have kissed the man once in an theme party. I was kinda drunk and I'd been wanting to do it ever since I first saw him...(It was last month's party.)

"Funny how that's coming from you, the guy with the giant bags under his eyes." I muttered as I glanced at him then away.

"Too many things to do then." I heard him chuckle. What an odd thing to say. Long ago (like two weeks ago) he invited me to his house, to meet his sons and daughters. That was when I found out that not only was he a little odd and a little too smooth, he was also starting a home. 5 kids. FIVE CHILDREN. I mean I like other people's children but I was never that fond of them personally.

"Whatever floats your boat." I just shrugged and awkwardly maneuvered past him. My student came along with me. I was surprised I only had one today. I was totally expecting them to be coming out of my ears.

"Is he your husband?" She was whispering heatedly into my ear as I opened the door to Harrison's room.

"No. Hes doctor Cullen. Not Doctor Flores" I rolled my eyes as I pointed to my ID. Shaking my head at her I turned to focus on the old man.

"Hi Mr Harrison. Have you eaten your raspberries?" I asked softly as I came around to the foot of his bed. He was pale and smelly as ever.

"No. Don't want 'em." He shook his head as he spoke.

"Oh. I see. Well how are the rashes today?" Oh god. I can smell his breath.

"They're itchy, woman." He sounded miffed I hadn't rubbed any creams on them today. Oh holy hell the smell.

"Ah! Would you like to apply Mr Harrison's creams today?" I grinned at her while she went pale.

"I-I guess so." She frowned deeply.

"It'll be great practice. Can I get you anything Mr Harrison?" I wrote down the time we checked in and that the cream was applied on to his nurse's chart and took a gigantic step back.

"Warm blanket. Cup of coffee." He nodded to himself as I went over to the cabinet and handed the student his hydrocortisone cream.

"Righto. I'll be right back then." I nodded to the man and left to go to laundry and the coffee station. I grabbed the blanket first and tried to keep it up on my hip as I poured a cup of coffee.

"You've got a hand full." A voice spoke close to my ear making my shoulders lock up as the blanket disappeared out from under my arm. I looked back to see Cullen there.

"Aren't you supposed to be in A&E?" I raised a brow as I put the coffee pot down and looked back at him.

"Not many emergencies in Forks." He shrugged. I raised a brow at him and rolled my eyes.

"Fine. Creepy. Follow me." I muttered the creepy bit under my breath as I went down the hallway. I was a good foot or two ahead of him.

"You find me creepy?" He stopped us as I squenched my nose up when he wrapped his hand around my forearm. Okay add super hearing on the list of weird stuff.

"I find you...awkwardly intimate with me at times." I finished with a tilt of my head. He was frowning.

"But...we've taken things so slowly. I haven't kissed you since last month." He sighed as he put a hand over his face, muttering something about humans.

"Yeah...about that. I was very drunk. I apologize." I nodded to him as I slowly took the blanket from him. Or tried to take the blanket I guess is better. He had a strong grip.

"I actually really liked it, Rena. I was hoping for a repeat." He frowned deeper this time. I raised a brow as I tugged at the blanket.

"Well...then. I don't really know what to tell you." I shrugged awkwardly, trying to balance a cup of coffee and pull at a blanket that seemed to super glued to his hand.

"Let me take you out to dinner. After your shift ends today." He leaned down to my height with a small hopeful smile. I raised another brow as I gave up on taking the blanket back. It seemed like he didn't even realise I was pulling.

"Fine. Whatever, give me the blanket please." I nodded as I motioned to the blanket. He smiled as he handed it to me. He walked with me and pulled open the door to his room for me before bowing his head and shutting it. Weird as hell.

"And you say hes not your husband." The student was grinning as I handing Harrison his coffee.

"He's really not though. I kissed him once at a party." I rolled my eyes as I spread the blanket over him.

"Uh huuuuuh." She giggled, screwing the lid back on.

"What are you? 16? Hush, child." I motioned to her. She rolled her eyes.

"20. I look older than you anyways." She smiled to show she was teasing me.

"Hey. My birth certificate says I'm 24, okay? At least I can buy beer." I grinned at her.

"She's gotcha there." Harrison added, nodding to himself as we both looked at him.

"We'll see you around Mr Harrison. Buzz if you need anything." I nodded to him as we exited his room. Next on my list of to do was to run around to hang around the nurse's station on this floor until someone buzzed. This was really just the half of the hospital that had the elderly and the odd. The other half was for emergency then upstairs was the OR and other associates.

"What now?" Student girl asked me as I sat down and shrugged.

"We wait for someone to buzz or call or be wheeled in. This area is really only older patients or those who are in recovery down the hall." I leaned back into the chair and looked around for my mug. Oh great. I left it upstairs.

"Ready?"

"H-holy crap!" I jumped as the voice spoke very very closely to my ear at the locker room exit, everyone else in the hallway jumped too.

"Sorry!" I called out to the other nurses giving me a dirty look. My bad. The day ended and I was heading home when I was viciously terrified by a doctor with a half baby face and a half movie star face. He was grinning too, damn it.

"Sorry. Are you ready for dinner?" He motioned with his head over his shoulder to the exit.

"Um. I guess. Where is it?" I nodded slowly, peering at him.

"My house of course. I'll give you the address." He pulled my hand from my chest gently and wrote down both his cell phone number and his address. I looked at it with a bit of suspicion. Forks was a pretty small town and I didn't recall there being a side road off of Colombia Road.

"I'm sorry to ask this but are you sure you mean turn off of Colombia road?" I raised a brow as I pointed at the directions written in tiny letters on my hand.

"Yeah. Most people don't notice it. But don't worry, you can just follow me." He smiled at my question as I nodded slowly.

"Right." I said awkwardly, still nodding. I'm an awkward person in general, really. I had a loud voice, jerky body movements and a forgetful mind sometimes...how did I ever become a nurse? When I followed him to the cars all I could wonder was whether or not he just swindled me into meeting his kids.
