Bella's POV

Is he going to be there?

I texted Rosalie as I picked out a dark purple bodycon dress. I know it was freezing outside and everything, but I needed to look my best, even if Carlisle wouldn't see me. The chances to meet him at his own home were huge, though. And, I didn't want to risk him seeing me in a none flattering dress, so I chose the sexiest I had. Also, I wanted to feel confident because I was going to se Alice in a really long time, and I'm pretty sure if she saw me looking good, she wouldn't be as angry.

Rosalie's text came only when James and I were putting on some boots and our coats. Probably because she didn't really want to reply with what she knew.

Alice didn't specify, but I think he does have a shift because she said that she was alone for the night.

It was nice that she knew about me and Carlisle. I know that it always seems like a bad thing when someone knows of person's indiscretions. Especially just as understanding as Rosalie Hale was. But, the secret did get out – only to Emmett, to my knowledge. But, it was what she needed, so it wasn't that bad. Rosalie had asked me for permission to tell him that because she needed him to know, in order to let him in. And, she did. And, all that Emmett said was „Well, you must have an amazing poker face because I would have never guessed that, Bella." He did ask me about guilt and Alice, and pretty much everything else. But, he didn't judge me. At least I didn't think he did. Maybe it was because of the intense love he had for Rosalie, maybe that's why he had to accept her friends, in order to be close to her.

Both of them knew and that was a lot easier on me.

James didn't know, and he didn't have to. For someone like him that would seem weird and disgusting. And, he was just someone I was fucking. Tonight would be awful because Alice and Jasper will ask about how we met and something.

We were at Alice's in 20 minutes „So, she's like your best friend, right?" James asked as we pulled up. The rodes were really slippery.

„Yea, I guess. I mean, she was. We used to be tight when we were in high school, but somehow things have been starting to fall apart. This is so import to me." I answered as we walked out of the car and onto the porch, maybe he would understand the importance of this.

Before I could ring the doorbell, Carlisle opened the doors and seemed to stop in his tracks, just as I did, when he saw me. He must have been leaving for his shift at the hospital. My. Fucking. Luck.

And it wasn't like the gravity was holding me anymore, but Carlisle's stare. My breath was in my throat and I felt like my eyes would fall out of my sockets. It was like this past year never happened, it felt like he had me pinned down under his body. But, instead of his body, it was his stare I was pinned down under.

„Bella?" he asked, a little bit strained. My coat was opened because it was hot in the car, and he could see me. I wanted to cover up and show him how my body had grown in the past year at the same time.

I decided to be the adult I prided myself to be. Smiling slightly I said „Mr. Cullen, it's so nice to see you. I think I haven't seen you since the graduation." When we took the awkward photo while we posed together with our families.

„Sadly, it has been that long indeed. You look so gorgeous Bella, more than ever." He leaned in and kissed both of my cheeks.

For an outsider, like James, it must have seemed normal. But it felt so intimate to me, as he put his hands on my shoulders and moved his lips to my cheeks, slowly, dragging it and was touching me in the way I had longed for so many months.

It seemed as if he didn't want to let me go, as he lingered. When he looked at James, his brow furrowed, in confusion.

I took the window „Carlisle, I would like for you to meet James." I couldn't say the word 'boyfriend'.

But I didn't have to „I'm her boyfriend. Nice to meet you, sir." It was so embarrassing that James would call my ex-thing a sir. Especially to know that Carlisle liked to be kinky. I missed that as well.

„Boyfriend?" Carlisle asked, his eyebrows rising up „Well, I'm happy for you." He grimaced. I don't think that he was happy at all, at least he didn't look like he was. He looked at James again, before he said „I must be going now. It was lovely to see you Bella. And, nice to meet you um Joel." I scowled at him. Did he really pull that stupid trick? James didn't even manage to say that Carlisle got his name wrong, as he was going down the stairs, taking two steps at a time.

I couldn't help but to not care at all about Joel and/or James.

I had missed Carlisle so much. I felt like I was spiraling out of my mind.

But this is where James called me „Come on Isabella, let's go inside. It's starting to snow." He took my hand in his palm.

Carlisle's POV

Boyfriend? Fucking boyfriend? That smug fucking face. God!

And Bella had looked so nice, too. She had put on some weight since last year, and it looked lovely on her. I couldn't see that dress in full appreciation, but Fuck me, what I saw made me a very happy man.

Until I realised that it wasn't mine to take, anymore.

I guess when Bella said that she wanted meaningful relationship, she really did mean it. But is that the reason that she ran off to the other side of the country, to meet someone she could parade around, as her boyfriend?

At the back of my mind the voice was telling me you could have been that. She could have worn that dress for you and not for him.

Should I text her?

After the graduation I couldn't stop thinking about how dumb I had been. Bella just wanted someone to take her somewhere, she wanted me to spend some time with her outside fucking. It wasn't like we weren't doing some nice, domestic things together. And, now I couldn't stop my imagination running wild at the most simplest things. What would Bella think of that movie? Oh she would love that book. If we would dine together again in a restaurant, what would she order? Or would she want me to order for her, again?

I was a goner.

And, now. What was I going to do now?

Should I text her?

Would she want me to text her?

Would she text me back?

She did look at me, with those big, brown eyes, like she was begging me. Begging me to take her away from that muck.

And I did text her. Why not? I would never forget her number. Nothing big or really specific. Just a

You really did look marvelous.

Bella's POV

We had been sitting at Alices for about 30 minutes. Thirty horrible minutes. She was fighting with Jasper the whole time.

„So, how did you meet Bella?" Jasper asked, ignoring something that Alice had asked him. She didn't say anything, just scowl at him because I think she wanted to hear James speak.

„Um, well, Isabella and I met at orientation week. I was giving out flyers to my sorority, and she walked up asking if there were girls there as well." I tried not to grimace, but smile. It wasn't like that. He had been giving out flyers that part true, but he had yelled something at me and Rosalie. And, because I wanted to forget Carlisle, I answered with something on my own and we ended up going to his party.

„Yeah, I started to tutor him and the rest was history." I took over, before James could say that we had sex the same day I met him, when I didn't really know his name.

„Hey, but how did you two meet?" James asked and I saw Rosalie's panicked face. Everything was so awkward between Alice and Jasper, I was wondering why they were together.

„You know James. I don't even know." Alice laughed without humor and stood up „Someone want a drink?"

Thank God for James, when he said „No thank you. My head is hurting so bad." I saw a window out of this.

„Yeah, James has a massive headache. We didn't want to decline the invitation, but I think we're going to go." I said apologetically „The flight really got to us."

Carlisle's POV

What the fuck was I even thinking? Why in the world would I text her? She doesn't want anything to do with me, does she?

But my God, did she look so beautiful.

The weight that she had put on, looked so beautiful on her. It made her face fuller, and I imagined her hips and bum wider as well. She was wearing much more make up than usual, but the pink and dark purple shadows suited her dark, brown eyes. Her hair was longer, still the mahogany brown, only straightened out. I wondered if that's something she did regularly now. She used to let her hair be wavy and crazy, and now it hugged her face in straight strands.

And what was with that prick, who called himself her boyfriend? She kind of looked uncomfortable, but it must have been because of me, not him. He looked like he was made out of pure muscle, so Bella must have still liked a hard fuck.

But I missed her, not only because of the sex. No. I missed the harmony that came with her company. I missed the smell of her. I missed her smart remarks at the things I would say. I even missed sneaking around with her.

But, at that time I couldn't give her what she wanted. And, now when I can, she's moved on. I was a fucking idiot. And, now I was texting her? I was a pathetic idiot.

I decided to go and write papers in my office, so I wouldn't be sulking around.

As I was writing my third report, when Jane, one of the main nurses, came in an ushered voice „Dr. Carlisle, there's been a car crash, we need you out there!"

I rushed out of my office as I asked „What happened?"

„As I understand correctly, one car was driving too fast and slipped on the road, crashing the car passing it." She said as we entered the room.

„How many do we have? What are the injuries?" I asked her, walking closer to the draped area.

„We got three people, and the injuries are, well ... The driver whose car slipped, has broken forearm, and a concussion I think, but the other two, from the car that he hit, I don't know yet." Jane said as she opened the draped and my heart stopped.

I was about to puke, when I saw Bella's bloody face, unconscious, with a cast around her neck and right arm. And, her boyfriend, with what it looked like broken nose. There was an amazing quantity of blood coming out of it.

As I started speaking, my blood rushed to my ears, making a horrible ringing sound in them, as my heart beat into overdrive „I know them." I spoke to the nurse „Take the boy to get an immediate x-ray and look into if he has a concussion." I sighed „The girl, Bella, does she have a cervical fracture? Take her into x-ray as well. Then, we will have to get her into a separate room, get her to a system."

Jane wrote that down „Alrigh, I'll wheel her into xray immediately."

Fuck. Fuck! What happened? Why was she there? What happened? Why wasn't with Alice, in my house? I worried myself sick, to the point of almost vomiting.

„You, James." I said his name right „Follow me. Can you walk? If you feel dizzy you have to say it immediately, or if the room is spinning or your vision goes blurry. Anything out of the ordinary." I watched as his shaky figure got up „What happened?" I snapped.

Bella's POV

I woke up because of the sirens that were blaring in my head. I could feel my brain waking up before my body did. My eyes, which felt like they were swollen shut, slowly opened. My head was killing me. It actually felt like my head was going to rot off of my body. I looked around.

I was in a hospital?

I looked at the system I was put to, the monitors around me, and only now did I feel the small tubes in my nose and the cast around my right arm.

I was definitely in a hospital.

I felt the button, and pushed it, calling a doctor or a nurse in.

As I did, I felt vomit rising and only barely made myself puke on the floor, not in the bed.
