I knew this man. He was scum and I didn't want him near me.
"How is she?" Why is he here? I wonder how he knows her? Then it clicked. He has done things like this to women before. I've seen many of his victims come through these doors. I was enraged.
"What are you doing here Jacob?" He didn't stop looking at Bella.
"I didn't have a choice."
"To hell you didn't have a choice!" I calmed myself and glared at him. "You should leave."
He turned and walked out the door. It took every ounce of my restraint to not go and beat the hell out of him for what he did to this poor woman.
The next day I came to work I found Bella awake and eating her food.
"Disgusting isn't it?" I asked her. The food was always awful.
"Well when you haven't eaten in four days you settle for what you can get" She smiled at me. She seemed so much better and so much more lively.
"I could sneak you something from across the street if you want." I smiled at her and she just grinned. She was so beautiful.
"I don't want you to get yourself in trouble. It's okay really. I'm fine."
"Are you sure? Do you need anything at all? It doesn't have to be just food" She hesitated
"Actually I was needing to call someone. She doesn't know I'm here and she would kill me if she found out but she would be even more brutal if I didn't tell her at all." She looked upset and a strange wave of emotion swept over me. I wanted to comfort her but being her doctor I'm not sure she would be comfortable with that or not.
"Well I can call her for you if you like? Tell her you have been out for a few days and you couldn't call."
"You don't have to do that. I just need to get this over with."
"Well here is the phone." I pulled the receiver closer to her. "I'll give you your privacy." I walked out of the room.
Jacob Black was standing at my office door waiting for me to finish with Bella.
"What do you want?" I ordered. He just stood there. "I want you to leave. You have no business here."
"Just tell me she will be alright then I'll go."
"What does it matter to you? You were the one that put her here in the first place!"
He looked surprised that I knew. "Oh come on! Like I wouldn't have figured it out! She isn't the first one you sent to me. And I'm sure it wont be the last. If we had any sort of decent law enforcement here maybe it would stop." I spat at him. He didn't fight back though.
I knew his type. He prayed on young women and made it seem like the gang made him do it. It pissed me off so badly that I couldn't stand to look at him.
"Get out of here. I don't want to associate with you."
"Thank you for taking care of her." He turned and walked away.
That was the last I saw of Jacob since Bella two week stay at the hospital. She will be going home today and I admit I'm not looking forward to work.
"Hey! Come to see me off?" I just nodded at her. I couldn't trust myself to speak. I've grown to have feelings for this woman, even though I knew it was wrong.
"My sister Alice is coming to pick me up. I would like you to meet her." That surprised me.
"You want her to meet me?"
"Yes. She wants to thank you for taking care of me." Oh.
"Well that is kind of her. I look forward to it. In the mean time do you need anything?" She shook her head no and I walked out.
No one has told her of the incident with Jacob or even the fact that he was here. No one wanted her to stress about it.
At three that day I went to do a last minute check up on Bella and her sister was in the room packing Bella's things with my nurse Rosalie there to help.
"I just wanted to check on you one last time. Just to be sure you're fine." I smiled at her
She waved her sister over and introduced us.
"Alice this is Doctor Cullen. Dr. Cullen this is my sister Alice." I extended my hand to her but she smacked it away and gave me a huge hug for such a little person.
"Thank you so much for all you've done for Bella!" That was a shock
"It was my pleasure Alice."
"Hey Edward?" Rosalie continued, "My brother is in town and he wanted to take me to lunch. Is it alright if I leave? He is waiting for me to finish with Bella." I nodded my head
"That is perfectly fine Rose." At that moment there was a knock on the door and a man with blonde hair peaked around the door.
"Rosalie?" He stopped abruptly when he saw us all standing there. "I'm very sorry I didn't mean to interrupt anything."
"It's quite alright. Rosalie was just about to join you." I assured him.
"Jasper this is Doctor Edward Cullen" He shook my hand "This is Bella the patient I've been talking so fondly of" He shook her hand and then stopped when he looked at Alice. "And this is Bella's sister Alice."
They stood there starring at each other for a few minutes before Alice said anything. She finally smiled and held out her hand shyly.
"Hello Jasper, I'm Alice. It is nice to meet you." He reached for her hand.
"The pleasure is all mine. I assure you." They stood there shaking each others hands for the longest.
"Well Bella, if you need anything do not hesitate to call me, at work or at home." I told her. I was trying to make it less awkward because of Alice and Jasper.
"Thank you Doctor Cullen. I will."
"Please, I told you, call me Edward." I smiled "I'll get you your papers and let you be on your way."
As I walked out of the room I suddenly realized I would never see Bella again. And in all honesty I shouldn't even be worried about because I don't even know her. Still, I couldn't help the way I felt.
"Here you are" I said walking back into her room as she was sitting in the wheelchair. "You are officially free to leave. Please take care."
"Thank you so much for everything you have done for me." She pulled me down so she could give me a tight hug, well as much as she could with her injuries.
They were off. All of them. Jasper asked Alice for her number and they were going out tonight, I thought that was nice. I have heard Rosalie talk about him and he seems like a great guy.
I guess Rosalie will be seeing more of Bella. The two of them grew closer throughout Bella's stay here.
I can always ask Rose how she is doing. No I couldn't! That would be weird.
Bella is out of my life now. I need to just deal with it.
