BELONGs TO STEPHANIE MEYERS

BPOV
So here i sit behind my desk. Wondering how little Matthew is... Everyone has calmed down. Most of the children saw what happened. It was a horrific accident.I've given the children a story to read. Its the least i can do for my class, lighten the load atleast for them. I love my job as a 3rd grade english teacher. Thank god the day is almost over. I plan on going down to St. Francis to check on Matthew. I'm sure his mother and sister are terified. I sure hope there neurologist is as good as they say they are. I still can't believe that falling off of the monkey bars can do so much damage.
"Ms. Swan." oh i'm brought out of my thought...
"Yes Mallory."
"I was wondering if we are allowed to go ahead and get our books together,it's almost time to go home." sweet Mallory asks.
"Yes children i'm sorry. Please go ahead and get your backpacks together."
With this i start to get my things together. Thank god it is not my duty day. All the children are gone. I sit and thinking about going down the hospital. Well i guess i should get up and get going. I lock my door and head to the parking lot.
I sure love my car. It seems heads turn to my car when i go and get into it...Its hard to believe that a simple Nissan 370Z in jet black whould turn heads this way. Charlie would have a stroke if he saw what i bought. How i miss my dad. But i think he would love it in the end. If it wasnt for Charlie I would not have my car. The house back in Washington is cleaned out and empty. I just could not live there without him.
I had to get away. Thats how I ended up in this small town in Louisiana. When I graduated from The University of Washington I wanted to get away. Forks was always so dreary. And Pheonix where mom is, well its just to damn hot. So when Jasper Whitlock (my best friend Alice's husband) was left his parents old plantation home and land , they moved to Louisiana. I had the money from the insurance money that Charlie had left so why not. Louisiana was an in between. Not wet and cold like Forks. And not hot as hell like Pheonix.
I pull in to the parking garage of the hospital. I take a deep breath and steady myself for what I am about to do. I walk up to the information desk and ask for Matthew's room number. I'm informed that Matthew is still in surgery. So, I got to find the waiting room on the 5th floor. I walk in his sister is a mess. She is being comforted by her mother and father. I go up to them and tell them how sorry I am. They say he has been back there for two hours. I can see the horrible thoughts that are playing on there faces. About that time his mother jumps up.
And there standing in the door way is this GOD! Must be the doctor I think to myself.
"Doctor" his mother asks.
"Well he is going to be fine. We stopped the bleeding on the brain." says the doctor.
"I'm Dr. Cullen. I'm the neurologist. He is going to make a full recovery."
At this Matthew's mother starts sobbing holding on to his sister. His father shakes the GOD'S hand and thanks him. His mother hugs him. He turns to me. OH look at those eyes beautiful green emerald eyes. Sticks out his hands and says.
"I'm Dr. Cullen are you the aunt." to this i say..."No I am his teacher" and I shake his hand. "Well its nice to see there are still teachers that care out there" he says. With that he turns and talks to Matthews parents. When hes done he turns and gives me the most beautiful smirky smile that is just so crooked across his face it should be illegal.
Can not think this way is what I keep telling myself. So i turn and tell Matthews mother that I will be back in the morning to check on him around eight a.m. With this I turn and leave and I dare not think of the "Green Eyed God".
So when I arrive at home I go in and kick off my shoes and relax by my fireplace. I take out my test papers and start to work on them. Well atleast i have some to do. I did not make the children that came in after Matthews accident take there tests. It was just too much to put on them at the time. So when I finish I decide that I need a long hot bath to make me feel better.
Once I've dried off i go and grab my boy shorts and a tank and sink into my bed. Wishing sleep would find me. Around one a.m. I finally drift off to sleep. When I wake I see that its only six a.m. so there is plenty of time still. I go to the kitchen. I do so love my automatic coffee maker so a hot nice cup is already waiting on me. So to kill time I go and pick up my paper off the front steps. Before I realize it, its already getting close to seven-thirty so i need to get on the road to the hospital. It isn't that far so I hop into my sleek black beauty and head to the hospital.
When I pull into the parking lot there he is the "Green Eyed God". He dosent see me so I avoid the area he's in not to disturb him. Once I find his room I knock. His mother comes to the doors all smiles and gives me a hug. It seems that Matthew is goin to be fine. He really looks good. Theres a slight knock on the door and it swings open and there he is again my "Green Eyed God". Did i just say my. Oh lord im loosing it.
He walks in like the god he is and says shes just doing rounds and wanted to check on Matthew. I turn to Matthews mother and tell her im going to get going. She hugs me and I hug Matthew and head out the door.
As I'm walking down the hall I think i'm still loosing my mind because I hear the "GEG" say my name. So I keep walking til I get to my car and then it's clear. He is right behind me. I turn to look at him and get lost in the green pools. He seems to be out of breath.
"Ms. Swan." he says.
"Yes." is all I can manage to get out. With that he gives me that crooked smirk that he does so well.
"I've been trying to get your attention since you walked out of the room upstairs." he says.
"Oh i'm sorry I wasn't paying any attention." wait. "How did you know my name?" I ask.
He chuckles low. "I'm sorry but I asked our friend Matthew what your name was." is all he says.
"Oh." is all i manage to get out. Once I get my head in order I can finally speak I say, " So is there something I can help you with, what do you need?"
"Well this is kinda odd but would you like to go out to dinner this Friday night?" he says. Woah! wait a minute I know im not hearing him right did he just ask me out?
"I'm sorry Dr. Cullen but I do not date." he looks at me with no emotion on his face and then he says, "Edward." I know I must have looked like a fool because I felt flush.
"I'm sorry Edward but I do not date." and then I turn open my door to my black beauty and get inside. Once I've left the parking garage, then I realize that I turned the "GEG" down. What in the hell was I thinking. Oh yeah! HIM! It has been three years I wonder why I cannot get past what he did to me. I cannot let Alice hear that I turned down the "GEG". She would have a my head. Since I have refused to let her set me up and I stay in my own little world as she says and don't date.
