A.N. 1 I do not own Twilight, i.d. says Elizabeth
A.N. 2 I am doing a rewrite to add more detail into the chapters.
It has been six years since Edward has left me along with his family. Due to him and his damn family, I had depression and severely too. I got into Boston University to study nursing. You see, I want to follow in Grandma's footsteps and become an army nurse. Dad was thrilled with me carrying on the army tradition in the family but mom was not. Mom is as liberal as they come and never got along with the Swan side of the family. She disowned me when I took the ROTC scholarship.
I graduated from nursing school and the army paid for me to become a surgical nurse practitioner at Columbia university. I was in the reserves then.
Once I was done with nursing school, I received orders that I was going to be deployed to Afghanistan for a year. I was out of Columbia for three months when I received the orders. I made it through deployment but I dealt with death of military and civilians. I did not get three months home and then Hurricane Elizabeth hits the gulf coast of Texas with damage concentrated in the Houston area. Guess what, I received marching orders to be on the scene.
Everything takes off when I was helping one of the medics take a kid with a broken arm to the recovery tent. That was when Col. Reed came walking over with two people who I never thought I would see again. There stood Carlisle Cullen in the infamous surgical green scrubs and Jasper Hale looking all high and mighty.
I made a promise to myself all of those years ago that I would never be hurt by them or anyone again. So I ignored them. They are air to me.
"Bella.."
"Lt. Swan, this is Dr. Cullen who will be one of the surgeons volunteering and Jasper Hale, one of the psychologists. Be nice."
Damn, that woman knew me too well. So I have to be careful of how to reem into them. The Cullen are not worth being court martialed over.
I got up and went to scrub into another case. In the OR is Carlisle himself and I just focused on the patient. Any speaking to him was strictly on the medical level.
After I was done with the case, I went to the mess hall tent to get something to eat and read the paper when I felt my wrist being gently pinned. I felt like there was an electrical spark on my wrist.
"What the hell do you want Jasper. I have better things to do that talk to you."
I felt a wave of calmness. Damn his ability and damn them all to hell, even Esme. Now everyone was looking at me because while I am known for being a hard ass, I was being a bitch and I know it too.
"Bella, I know you are rightfully angry and you are trying to take it out on any way you can. I have been looking for you for a long time.
The real reason why Edward made us move was he was hiding a long term affair that he was having with our cousin Kate. He was acting like a spoiled brat and demanding us to stay away from you forever.
Alice left me, we were never true mates but just a married couple. She left me three years ago for her true mate. Emmett and Rosalie miss you too. I know it is a surprise on Rosalie ' s end but she does. Emmett has not smiled since the day we left Forks.
Carlisle has been throwing himself into work and Esme has not been the same since then."
I had something to think about but if the Cullens think they can crawl back into my life, they are wrong. This Bella may look like she forgives too easily but is so wrong. I dig my heels in even if they think I am speaking softly. I do hold grudges and I am not one to trust easily. That is the true damage of them leaving me. I have worked too damn hard for the past six years to have my dream come true. Nothing will stop me from living my dream as an army surgical first assistant.
