"I'm, A Satellite Heart
Lost In The Dark.

But I'll Be True To You,
No Matter What You Do,
Yeah, I'll Be True To You."

Chapter Two: The First Time He Saw Her
Saturday
I can feel his eyes on me. I know I am becoming increasingly delusional with each passing day. He isn't here. He is gone, yet I can feel his presence, his eyes on me. I swear I can feel his eyes on me, a feeling I didn't get the first time we met. But he isn't here, I know that, but there is a small part of me that can feel his presence even though my rational side tells me that he is gone.
The first time I saw Edward Masen Cullen I didn't truly see him, but he saw me. That first day I couldn't feel his eyes on me, but because of one little eight year old boy, I know they were.
February 17th, 2010
I am so late, I am so late. Oh god, I am going to get fired. I thought to myself as I grabbed my backpack that held my work clothes and jumped out of my car and rushed into Cullen Orthodontics, my place of work, and went straight towards the break room to change from my school clothes into my scrubs.
As soon as I was changed and hopping down the hallway as I was finishing the process of putting my shoes back on I grabbed my time card out of my mouth and swiped in. Thank god, only three minutes late. I can't get fired for that, right? I wondered to myself as I threw my hair into a ponytail and went to grab my first patient of the afternoon.
Doctor Cullen was the best boss I had ever had, hell he was responsible for my straight pearly whites. He had been my orthodontist, which is how I landed a job working as an orthodontic tech in his office even though I didn't have a proper technical education to do so. He trained me to do the job so that I could get practical experience in the field while I was in my last semester of finishing bachelor's degree in biology at University of Washington, so with that in the back of my head I knew it was ridiculous to even worry about being fired, but I hated to be late.
"Hi, I am Bella, is there something I can help you with" I asked the man leaning against the receptionist desk.
"I am just waiting for Dr. Cullen." He said and in my rush I took that as he was fine and grabbed my first patient of the day, Riley, and took him to the back to start the process of his monthly adjustment.
"Bella?" Riley asked in his small eight year old voice as I had him in his chair waiting on me as I was putting my gloves and mask on.
"Yes Riley?" He was such a polite boy, probably one of my favorite patients.
"That guy at the counter is staring at you and it is making me uncomfortable." Riley said in a matter of fact voice as he pointed towards the reception desk.
I turned and looked in the direction of the reception desk to see the back of a head of disheveled bronze hair.
I shrugged off Riley's concern as there was no evidence of 'the man at the counter' staring in our direction as I adjusted Riley's chair and started to remove the bands on his braces and taking the wire out before Doctor Cullen would come over to take a look and decide our next step in the process of straightening Riley's teeth.
I guess Riley wasn't as delusional as I had thought that day. But I am starting to question my own sanity as I can feel his eyes on me now even though the rational part of my brain tells me that he is gone.
Endnote: Please let me know what you thought. Chapter Three: The First Time She Saw Him will be coming soon.
