Ryan and I ended up at a nice little bistro and were led to a nice table on the patio that had a beautiful view of the beach. Now that the sun was beginning to set; the view was even more breathtaking. As we talked; I had a feeling that I would probably remain friends with Ryan. He was nice and sweet but not quite my type. Our food arrived and we ate and decided that after dinner; we would hit a dance club. The best thing about this dance club we'd be going to was that no alcohol was permitted and neither was smoking. It was a relief to be in a place like that especially for adults who like to have fun but don't want a hangover from the pits in the morning.
After Ryan got the ticket and paid; we got in his car and headed for the dance club. We were admitted and then made our way to the dance floor. We danced for a good while until I had to go to the restroom. I was heading that way when I must have stepped on something because the next thing I knew, I was flat on my back. Ryan was beside me in an instant and I was fine until I tried to stand. "Ryan; I think I broke my ankle" I told him. He had me bridal style in his arms and in his car and took off for Dade Memorial.
When we reached the hospital; Ryan carried me into the ER and sat me in a wheelchair. I explained what had happened and then Ryan wheeled me over to the waiting area and he sat with me as I waited. "I am so sorry Ryan. This wasn't where I wanted to end up. I just wish I had seen the ice" I said, looking at him. "It's not your fault Chloe but rest assured; I will be calling the manager and tell him what happened. Let's just about getting you taken care of and then letting Jesse know" Ryan replied. "We'll tell him when we get back to the house. It's not an emergency' I told him before I heard a nurse call "Chloe Cardoza!" I wheeled myself to the back and to the exam room.
I managed to get myself on the bed and given a chance to settle before the nurse took my vital signs and then left the chart before leaving the room. I yawned and the nurse turned the lights down. I closed my eyes and relaxed while I was waiting for the doctor.
Carlisle's P.O.V
I had just finished with a couple of sorority girls who had too much to drink when I was sent to bay three for a female with a broken ankle. I saw the bay was dark. I knew there was someone in there and when I got closer to the door; I caught that beautiful, familiar scent. I knew that honey and freesia scent from one place, the Miami-Dade police department. Quietly; I entered the bay and raised the lights. That's when I finally read the chart and saw my patient's name was Chloe Cardoza.
Quietly; I approached the bed and I thought that I was seeing things. Chloe reminded me of a rebellious vampire princess I had known back in Italy named Adriana. I could have married Adriana had she not been executed for attempting to overthrow the Volturi. I was just checking Chloe's x-rays when she started stirring. "Hello Chloe; I'm Dr. Cullen" I said, finally putting her x-rays down. "It's nice to finally meet you Dr. Cullen. Alexx Woods told me your name" she replied. "Well; I've heard good things about you too Chloe also from Dr. Woods. I'm sorry you ended up here. You've broken your ankle but you're in luck. I can reset it and you'll be in a brace for a week and the bruising will fade in a few days" I told her.
Chloe's P.O.V
I was glad the break hadn't been severe and replied "That's a relief." "I will ask though that you spend the rest of this week on bed rest" Dr. Cullen told me. "I can live with that" I replied. He pulled a regular sports bandage out of the cabinet and told me "Alright; I'm going to reset your ankle. This might hurt a little but it'll be over quickly. Ready?"
"Yes" I answered, gazing into his amber eyes. I felt my heart skip a beat as my eyes never left his. He moved my ankle around and I didn't even hear the pop because the next thing I knew; my ankle was wrapped. He finally said "Okay; you're almost set to go. I just need to get your crutches and make your appointment next week. I also want you stay on bed rest unless you need to get up and I want you to make sure you to take some painkiller when you get home. I'll be right back" and with that; he left the room. Something was bugging me about Dr. Cullen like his cold touch and his unusual colored eyes. I saw something in his eyes like he knew me before we even laid eyes on each other tonight. I finally recalled my strange dream but in the dream; my name wasn't Chloe.
I barely had time to recall the dream when Dr. Cullen returned with a sheet of paper that had my instructions plus my follow up appointment and a set of crutches. He helped me get used to them and then helped me out to where Ryan was waiting. It was now 3am and I was not looking forward to explaining tonight to Jesse. Ryan had apparently already done that because when we got to the house; Jesse was already at the door. Both Jesse and Ryan got me upstairs and then Ryan had to leave. I managed to change as Jesse returned with an apple, some water, and a bottle of painkiller. I ate the apple and then took two painkillers, drank the water, and finally fell asleep. Would I come to see that all I wanted was in that good hearted doctor and come to accept my past and my ultimate destiny?
