A/N: Thanks for adding my story to your favourites lists. My email inbox was inundated with them. I didn't get any reviews though. It would be good to get some just so I could get your thoughts on this. I wasn't originally going to have Edward appear so early on but he appeared on my bed and just begged me to put him in so this is what I came up with. Enjoy and dodn't forget to leave me some reviews. Disclaimer: Nope not mine. I have asked for them for my birthday in 3 weeks though.
Chapter Three
The bright lights of the hospital made his hair shine as though it was a precious jewel. He was currently with a patient and every time the patient laughed his emerald green eyes would shine and twinkle. Everyone thought that he was the best doctor they had ever come across and he was quite happy to go along with the act while he worked but when he got home it was a completely different matter.
"There's nothing to worry about Miss Blake. It's just a minor sprain, nothing is broken. I'll ask a nurse to come and strap it up then you're free to go home. As long as you don't use your wrist it'll be fine in a couple of days," he said in a suave voice.
The patient nodded and watched his bottom as he walked out of the tiny cubicle she was currently occupying in the emergency room. As he left his patient, a fellow doctor caught his eye and laughed.
"Is that another one swooning over you?" the other doctor asked.
He nodded and rolled his eyes before saying, "Well it's over for another day. She was my last one. Do you think tomorrow I could get some male patients? I wouldn't have to deal with them swooning over me then."
The other doctor laughed along with him then said "You need to go on some dates man. This brooding thing isn't healthy. What do you do when you get home? I'll tell you what you do, absolutely nothing. You sit on that laptop of yours looking for some girl that couldn't care less about you."
"Bella isn't like that. I walked out on her. It's my own fault. If I could just fid her then I can apologize for my actions and hopefully make things right."
"Edward it isn't healthy. What are you hoping for by doing this? To get back together? For her to fall into your arms and say that she still loves you? This is the real world, not some mushy Disney movie. It doesn't work like that. For all you know she could be married. She could have kids. Would you seriously want to try and break up a family?"
"No. I just want to make things right. I want her to understand that it wasn't her fault I left."
"Well just think about it. Look up some dating sites or something. You have got to move on with your life."
Edward nodded at his colleague then walked towards a nurse with curly, blonde hair.
"Nurse Taylor could you strap Miss Blake's wrist in cubicle three?"
The nurse looked at Edward and sighed dreamily. Edward chuckled to himself as he walked towards the locker room. A few moments later he was dressed in normal clothes and heading towards the hospital's exit. As he walked through everyone said goodbye to him to which he returned. He just couldn't wait to get home and get on the internet. As sad as it was, that was all his life consisted of. For two years straight he had been doing this routine. It was always the same, work, search, sleep. Half the time he didn't even get time to eat because he was so engrossed with his search.
Edward sighed as he entered his apartment, he flicked on the lights and looked around at the minimalist room. It was pretty bare. Of course he had photos up but if you looked at them so closely you would realize that they all had the same person in them.
He walked into his kitchen and poured himself a drink of orange juice then went into his living room and sat down at the desk where his laptop was sat. He started the computer up and went straight onto the internet. First of all he checked his email, most of them were junk emails but he did have the occasional one from his sister Alice. He opened the most recent one from Alice and read it.
Edward,
Just checking in with you. We haven't heard from you in a while. Hope the hospital is okay. We were just wondering whether you wanted dinner with us. Email back and tell me and we'll sort something out. The girls miss you.
Alice
Edward sighed and clicked on reply then quickly tapped his reply out.
Alice,
I'm fine. I know the girls miss me but everything is just so busy at the moment so dinner isn't a good idea. I'll let you know when I'm free next and we'll sort something out.
Edward
This was his usual reply. It wasn't that he didn't want to see his sister it was just that he wouldn't be very good company. He just so preoccupied with his search he knew that he would spend the whole time wondering if he could have found her at that moment should he have been sat at his computer.
He closed the email programme knowing that that reply would keep Alice off his back for a while and opened up his search engine. He slowly typed her name into it and clicked search. For the next two hours he clicked on every result going and only closed the computer down when he realised that tonight was not the night that he would find her. Edward then got up and walked over to his couch. He flopped himself down on it and picked up the photo that was on the coffee table. He ran his fingers over it and remembered the night it was taken, his prom night and the night they first showed each other how much they were in love.
"Where are you Bella?" he asked himself before laying back on the couch with the photo in his arms and falling asleep.
