Sorry about grammar error. I will not be getting a beta. Sorry. Thank you for clicking on my story to read. I appreciate it. This Chapter 4!
I walked to the front desk where two women sat, named Lauren and Jane, and told them that I start working today.
"Oh, yes!" The one named Lauren practically squealed. She got up and showed me to my office.
"Thanks." I smiled. Though the squeal was quite loud and annoying.
"It so exciting having you here. We have been needing a new Doctor." She said eyeing me like a piece of meat.
"Well I better get to work." I said and I hurried her out of my office. She left with a pout. Ugh I didn't care for people like her.
I logged onto my computer and then walked to get some files of some patients. My first patient here at Forks, Washington would be a boy who had bad earache. I prescribed him a medication and sent them on their way. I walked away and started going upstairs to check on a patient who had cancer just like my sister.
On the stairs was the same woman I saw the woman who was in the grocery store. I walked up as she walked down. I was studying her when all of a sudden she tripped over her own foot. Her hands went up out front of her. I rushed up to where she was at and caught her before she hit the ground. I she stayed in my arms for a good moment before she looked up at me. Her eyes went big then she moved away quickly.
"Thanks." She mumbled.
"No problem. I'm Dr. Cullen." I said smiling at her. She was cute.
"Bella. I'm just a nurse." She said. Looking down. Why was she sad. I could feel it just radiating off her. There was a pause before I spoke.
"Well I better get going. Paperwork and stuff." I said. I didn't want to leave her, but it was true. I did have a lot of paper work.
"Oh." She said sadly but then went back to normal. "Bye." She said and we both left.
I felt something different about her. She was sad you could see clear as day, but she tried to hide it. I want to change that. I want her to be happy all the time.
I went to my office for the next few hours and just went through paper work, until a teen came in with a broken nose. I fixed the teen up and asked him to show me where his mother was. He showed me and I talked to her about how he doesn't need to be anything stupid while it heals. I put it in a more formal doctor, but I think she got the point.
As I was talking I saw Bella walk in. Lauren and Jane looked at her and started in with some language that's not really acceptable in the work place.
"Omg. Bella is such a slut." I heard. I finished talking with the patient and walked closer to the desk. "She was totally trying to get Dr. Cullen."Lauren said. She was not. She just fell. These girls I new I was going to hate them the moment I walked in and saw them.
"I know. Thank god he turned her away. Who would wanna be with that fat bitch anyways." Jane said. That's not true. She's a lovelier woman than these two will ever be.I looked at Bella and she just walked away quickly with sad eyes and a red face. I will not let this go on. I walked up to desk after she left.
"So do you want me to write you up?" I asked angrily.
"What?" Jane said.
"I heard you what said to Bella and I don't like it." I said frowning.
"Oh, we were just playing." Lauren said and waved her hand as if it was nothing.
"I don't think it was. " I said eyeing them. "If hear anymore if this I will report you." I said walking away.
"Asshole." I think I heard Jane says. I smiled and made my way to check some patients. I was looking at a chart when I ran into someone. I looked up to see Bella.
"Sorry." She said sad. Sad again, but now I know why.
"Bella. What they said earlier..l." I said trying to find some words, but couldn't spit them out.
"You think it's true?" She said. "Well, so does everyone else?" She mumbled looking at her shoes.
"No, I don't think it's true." I said. I wanted to wrap her into a hug, but I held myself at bay.
"Oh..." She said in a daze. I put my hand her shoulder to comfort her. "I need to check on this patient." She said walking away.
I waited for a moment, but felt the impression she wanted to be left alone. I walked to my office and finished one small stack of paper before it was time to leave.
I walked to clock out and I ran into Dr. Mike.
"Yo, what's up? How's the new job." He said hitting me on the back. I was not gonna be friends with him.
"Fine." I said calmly and slowly moved away from him.
"I heard nurse Swan was trying to get at you today." He said smirking.
After that I left the room without answering him. What was it with these people? Was everyone here like this? I was angry now and I walked to where Bella's Friend Alice was.
"Alice, this needs to stop. It ridiculous." I said throwing my hands up in the air.
"I know. She just ignores them though and just lets it happen. I think she is afraid of writing someone up." She said.
"Why?" I said looking at her.
"Well high school for Bella wasn't good. A lot of stuff happened and when she tried to get help people ignored her. So I think it's because no one will care and they just ignore her like she was never here." Alice said.
Sweet Bella. How could anyone ignore her. Well, I care and I'm going to take care of her I thought.
"Thanks Alice. If you could talk to Bella about what happened earlier that would be great." I said getting ready to leave.
"Sure thing." She said putting some stuff away.
I left then and drove to my apartment. I changed out of my clothing for work and put on some jeans and a t-shirt. I heard someone about half an hour ago come upstairs and go into the other apartment. I was hungry, so I went to introduce myself and ask where the best diner around was. I grabbed my jacket and keys and locked my door. I knocked on the door of my neighbors and waited.
The door opened and I saw Bella.
"Oh, Bella you live here." I said smiling. She just nodded her head.
Now I could be closer to her. I could take of her.
"I was just wondering if..." I looked down to see her arm covered in blood. She had cut herself. I walked toward her and grabbed her arm. I examined it to make to see how deep it was.
How could she cut herself. I want her more than ever now. She was beautiful and I hate to see her in pain and I've only met just met her.
"Bella, why did you do this?" I asked, but got no response. I walked into her apartment and closed the door. I led her to the sink and washed her arm of the blood. We stood in silence. I wanted so badly to ask questions, but now wasn't the time.
"I'll be right back." I ran to my apartment and grabbed some gauze, medical tape, antibiotics, and stuff to clean the cuts. I disinfected the wound and put gauze in it. I then got up to throw away the stuff that that I had used. I quickly threw the things away, so that could go be with Bella. I walked back in the room where Bella was and found her crying.
"Don't cry." I said sit down and pulling her into my arms. "It's okay."She looked up at me and cried harder. I rubbed her back and let her get it all out. I couldn't stand seeing her cry. It wasn't right. I tightened my embrace on her. After a few minutes her tears dried up.
"Thank you." She said.
"No problem. If you ever need anything just come talk to me." I said looking at her in way to let her know that she needed someone. That I wanted to be there for her.
"Ok, thanks." She said with a breath of relief. Good a breathe of relief. She just did what I had been wanting to do since I had seen her arm.
I got up and started walking toward the door. I opened it and Bella was behind me.
"Would you like to go to dinner with me on Saturday." I said.
"Oh...yeah I'd love to go." She said with a small smile. A smile that played tricks, but this one I knew was a true smile.
"Good. I'll pick you up at 7." I said calmly, but on the inside I was dying to shout in happiness.
I hugged her once more before I left. Before I went into my apartment she spoke.
"Thanks again Dr. Cullen. I'm sorry you had to see that." She said.
"It's fine and call me Carlisle. Besides, sometimes we need someone and I think that's what you needed tonight." I said yearning to go back and hold her.
"Ok, Carlisle and you can call me Isabella." I nodded. Her name was beautiful and she was letting me in.
"Goodnight Isabella." I said. Her name came rolling off my lips.
"Goodnight."She said and she closed her door. I really wanted to go back and knock on her door and hold her for the rest if the night. To let her know that I would be here for her. It wasn't just words I was speaking to make her feel better. No it was much more than that.
After the events I wasn't a hungry anymore. I threw my clothes off until I was just in my boxers, then I jumped into bed and fell asleep exhausted and worried.
