"Good morning, Dr Cullen. Is there anything I can do for you?" Angela asked and I shook my head quickly.
"Are you sure? Anything at all!" she said, scuttling after me as I increased my pace in my haste to get away from her. She tripped over her heels as I rounded a corner, nearly at a run. Contrary to what her name might suggest, Angela was not an angel; she was in fact, the hospital slut and I knew for a fact that she had both herpes and gonorrhoea as it had been my father, Carlisle who had diagnosed her and administered antibiotics before warning me to stay away from her. Not that I would have touched her with a ten foot pole anyway.
I made my way to my office to grab my coat and stethoscope before I began my rounds.
"Good morning, Mrs Hanowich. How are you feeling?" I asked with a smile.
"I'm fine, son. I keep telling you to let me out of this bed" the stubborn old lady said and I shook my head softly, checking her heartbeat and blood pressure.
"And I will." I said, scribbling the new information onto her profile.
"Yeah, yeah. That's what you always say." she said, turning her head to the side before snapping it back to me so quickly that I for a moment, I was worried that she was going to get whiplash.
"Have you been eating right?" she asked suspiciously, her blue eyes narrowing and I chuckled.
"Yes ma'am, I've been eating great. See? Strong as an ox" I said, flexing my biceps which were a respectable size as I worked out five days a week. She nodded to herself
"Good. Good" she said, "You know, I worry about you sometimes young man. What you need is a good woman to love that can make sure you are eating well. None of this pizza and microwave dinner nonsense"
I laughed, patting her arm affectionately. "I'm working on it" I lied before saying a hasty goodbye and moving on to my next patient. I had no intention of finding a girlfriend. I was perfectly happy being single.
Soon I was done with my rounds and found myself at the children's ward.
"Eddie!" a happy voice called.
"Hi Ashley! How's my favourite girl doing?" I asked sitting myself into the chair by her bed. Ashley had a fatal heart condition and was on the waiting list for a new one. However, I was devastated to hear when I had asked, that she was considerably far down on the list and would most-likely die before a heart became available.
"I'm good. My mommy came to visit today and she said daddy is coming tomorrow cos he came yesterday and someone has to take care of my baby sister."
I nodded in understanding and suddenly she began beaming. "I drew you a picture, see? It's all my favourite people in the world"
I took hold of the sheet of paper she held out to me and was pleasantly surprised. Ashley had a talent for art. Her diagram was not made up of stick men. ?No, these people had bodies and intricately drawn hair and clothes. I was impressed; she was only eight!
"Ashley, this picture is amazing" I gushed and she blushed before pointing to the picture.
"That's mommy and daddy and my sister, Isobel and my best friend, Janice and Cory from next door and Jasper and you." she explained, pointing to each person in turn.
"I'm one of your favourite people in the world?" I asked and she nodded exuberantly.
"Will you be my doctor too?" she asked innocently and my heart melted.
"What about Jasper. I thought you liked him"
"I do like Jasper. But I like you too" she explained I chuckled, ruffling her golden blonde hair.
"Sorry hon, but I didn't go to the right school to be your doctor. I'm afraid you're stuck with Jasper." I said and she shrugged.
"That's okay. Jasper said you'd say no, anyway, and Jasper's always right"
I managed to keep my snort internal. Jasper was not right when he said that drinking Jack Daniels mixed with Jamaican chilli, mayonnaise and ground coffee beans would give him the most intense orgasm he had ever had. All it had done was burn his throat and tongue, give him stomach cramps and ensure that his hangover the next morning was even more brutal than usual.
Jasper and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember and the guy was a fucking genius when it came to academics and emotional shit. Too bad he was such an idiot when it came to normal everyday life.
"Listen, sweetie I've got to get back to work now but I'll see you tomorrow right?" I asked and she nodded enthusiastically, reaching up for a hug which I gladly provided.
Lunchtime came and I made my way to the canteen where I purchased a very sorry looking sandwich with drooping corners and a carton of orange juice. As I made my way through the clique ridden hospital canteen, I vaguely wondered whether or no ti was going to eat the disgusting sandwich.
The hospital was very much like high school with its many cliques. There were the sluts who thought they were cool and these were made up of the receptionists and a couple of the nurses. Angela and Tanya were the leaders of this clique. Then you had the surgeons, the normal nurses, the Information Technology people, the male nurses and the doctors. I of course was a doctor and so I made my way to my "assigned" seat next to Jasper who was eyeing his sandwich suspiciously. He raised it to his lips and had it halfway in his mouth before suddenly, flinging it away from himself. It landed near a slutty nurse who turned and made goo-goo eyes at him. He cringed and hastily looked away and I chuckled to myself as I finally reached my seat and flung myself onto it.
"Hey dude. What's up?" he asked and I shrugged.
"Same old, same old. You?"
"Meh. Slutty nurse number 3 hit on me again. Nothing out of the ordinary. So I heard Ashley wants to replace me with you as her new doctor" he said and I laughed
"Yeah. She recognises my immense greatness and superior knowledge" I joked and Jasper snorted.
"Yeah, it's a shame you know nothing about paediatrics then isn't it?" Jasper said patronisingly and I scowled at him.
"Well no one knows everything. Cut me some slack"
Lunch went by as normal and before I knew it, I was stuck in my office doing tedious paperwork. I welcomed 5 o'clock when I finally got to go home and deftly ignored any slutty nurse that tried to get my attention on the way out.
"Doctor Cullen!" a sweet voice called out and I paused.
"Yes Lauren? How are you?" Lauren was one of the few nurses that was a genuinely nice person and she and I had become acquaintances, not quite friends.
"I'm good. I actually need to get going. My husband, Tyler is waiting for me." she said and I nodded in understanding. "You dropped your keys in the lobby and I thought I had better grab it before one of the other nurses got it and made a copy or something equally weird" she said with a laugh, handing me my keys.
"Wow, I didn't even realise I had lost them. Thanks for that" I said
"Don't mention it. Have a good night!" she said, walking towards the parking lot.
"You too!" I yelled at her retreating figure.
I finally arrived home and immediately shed my shoes and tie before grabbing a slice of cold pizza from the box in the kitchen and collapsing on my couch with the TV remote, preparing for another night of Isabella swan films. She was fucking hot and I had had many a fantasy involving her. I knew anything and everything about her and defended her fiercely if anyone ever dared to insult her in my presence. Fortunately, only Jasper knew of my freaky obsession and I would very much like to keep it that way. It wasn't like I was some freaky stalker person; I just admired her. She was such a good role model for girls these days.
I tried to convince myself that if she were here, she wouldn't be creeped out by the fact that I knew everything about her. She would be totally cool with it.
Heh, even I had to laugh at that.
A/N yeah I decided to make Angela the slut and Lauren the nice one. She's so misunderstood. Actually, no she's not. She's a bitch, but I'm a bit bored of her always being a bitch so here she is... MY Lauren. I'm not sure if I wrote Edward right but meh, he'll improve as the story goes on. These are only introductory chapters anyway. Hold on tight for the real drama coming soon to a fanfic website near you. don't forget to REVIEW please, guys. Love you all
