Sunday was our lazy day. We ate junk food and watched movies all day long. I decided to stay over the entire week, of course, I asked Charlie for permission first. He said that he didn't mind and that he preferred it when I stayed over. He didn't want me to be home all alone. I left Mr. Wolf a note, saying that I'll be over at Bells this week but will be back the following week. To forgive her for not leaving water or clothes, but if he needed her he can howl and I'll go straight home. Obviously, that didn't happen. (-_-)
This week went by really fast. On Monday after school Bella and I hung out with Jake and the pups (Embry and Quil). We went to Jake's house, got some ice cream and Quil had an idea of going to the movies. He wanted to see the new action movie 'Abraham Lincoln: The Vampire Hunter' (A/N: did see what I did there .) We all agreed and went. I had so much fun and it let me the other side of them that the movies/books didn't say. It made them more real. Then on Tuesday, we went over to Angela's house to do homework. Bella and Angela had to finish their history packets. On Wednesday I was supposed to meet up with Jasper for our history project, but he bailed on me. Saying he had some other things to do, but I knew the real reason. They know that Bella is about to figure out the secret so they're just avoiding any interactions with us. Either hoping I wouldn't help her or that I wouldn't find out. This whole week they have been ignoring us, they even ignored me during class. Jasper wouldn't be my partner, he asked if he could be by himself. He must have caused the teacher to feel scared of him because he agreed with him. Even Alice is ignoring me and its Alice. Whatever's, not like I care or feel hurt but it's okay. Then on Thursday, I decided to bake a cake for the Swans and it didn't work out. I made a huge mess in the kitchen, it took Bella and I two whole hours just cleaning it up. I know Bella would never let this go, EVER! It didn't look edible but it tasted great, well according to Charlie. Bella and I didn't want to get food poison so we let him eat it, all. On Friday it was anti-rainy, so it was sunny. During school, the Cullens didn't show up making Bella more intrigued.
When we arrived home from the beach she told me what Jake said. She was so determined to find out what they're hiding, she looked up The Quileute Legends. Turned out there's a book about it in Port Angeles, right outside of Forks. She wanted to go on Friday after school. Sadly I couldn't go with her, I had a doctor's appointment after school. When I told her I had a doctor's appointment, she got worried, but I assure her I was okay. I was just going to get a physical check-up. During lunch, the girls wanted to dresses shop for prom. And they were going to Port Angeles, just the place Bella needed to get her book. So she was going with them and since she'll be there she'll pass by the bookstore. Knowing Bella she'll be there for about the third dress and she'll leave. I promised her that I'll be at her house when she got home. Pretty sure when I came out of the doctors, Charlie is going to Billy's and I think I'll tag along.
After school, Bella was getting ready for the trip, while I was sitting down on the couch, munching on some potatoes chips. Bella comes down the stairs, fighting with her sweater.
"Do you need any help?" I tease her and she sticks out her tongue.
"Well I'm going already, I want to be early just in case its full," I tell Bella and she nods. Before I leave Charlie calls out to me.
"Hey Amy, is it a female doctor or a male doctor?" Bella and I look at her with a confused look, he sighs "I just want to know." I smile, knowing that he wants me to be safe.
"Female Dr. Garcia." He looks relief and nods.
"Oh, and hey you still going to Billys?" I ask him opening the front door.
"Yeah, why?" He looks up from reading the newspaper. He's so old school.
"Can I come? Since Bella going to take most of the day?" He smiles and nods. I smile back and say my goodbyes to them. I get on my bike and drive off to the hospital.
~~inside the Swan's House~~
Bella went over to the sink to get a cup as her father was sitting down at the table.
"She's like a second daughter huh" Bella ask her father, Charlie. He looks over at her and smile.
"Yeah, she's a good kid." He tells her as he flips the page.
"Why didn't you and mom have another kid?" Bella says making her father's smile go down.
"Mmm... well we wanted to take it slow. We just had you and our family was perfect at that time," he says rather sadly. They didn't say anything, it was quiet until a honk was heard from the outside. Bella sighs and starts to walk over to the door.
"Hey I'm leaving" she calls out to her father as she closes the door. She couldn't help but remember what he said. That he thought they were perfectly happy before her mother decided to pack up and leave. Sometimes she wonders what it'll be like if he mother didn't leave her father. Would her life be different? Would she even have met Amelia? She had many questions but with no real answers.
~~Back with Amelia~~
I never did like the smell of the hospital, it reeked of death and sadness. I walked over to the front office and asked for directions to my destination. She was a nice middle age nurse with a few gray hairs showing on the roots of her hair. She pointed me the way and bid her a goodbye. Her name tagged said Jackie, a nice lady. As I was waiting to be called on to be seen by the doctor, I couldn't help but think of Dr. sexy himself. I wonder what's he doing. Is he working today?
The nurse called me back, took all the necessary information and took me to an empty room. Told me to put on the gown and that my doctor will be here shortly. Waiting for my doctor, I was texting Bella, asking how was the trip. Her reply was hilarious, saying she didn't understand how girls can spend the whole day shopping. I had to laugh at that, poor Bella.
I stopped laughing when I heard a knock. I put my phone away, waited for my doctor to come in. I was expecting a 40-year-old white lady, but I got Dr. Sexy instead. I mean I'm not complaining or anything, I'm more confused. I booked the appointment with a Dr. Garcia, not Dr. Sexy. He smiled at me as he walks inside.
"Hello Amelia, sorry but your Doctor had a family emergency and needed to leave. So I'm taking over her patients today. I understand you're here for a physical?" he waits for me to reply. However, I'm just getting lost in his gorgeous golden eyes. I swear it should be against the law for someone to look that perfect.
"If you're not comfortable with me doing your physical, you can always reschedule your appointment," Dr. Sexy says with a slight frown. He must have taken my silence as if I didn't want him.
"Oh, no it's okay. I rather have you than a stranger." I tell him with a small smile. He nods and we began our appointment.
"Okay first all, remember what we talk about is between you and me. Unless I fully believe that anything you say might endanger your life" he tells me and I seats down on the chair in front of me and starts asking away.
First came the boring questions.
"Do you smoke?" I shake my head no. He nods and writes on his chart.
"Do you drink?" Once again I shake my head, no.
He asked about my diet and exercise and I answered it truthfully. If I'm hungry I'll eat, and I eat a lot. The only exercise I'm doing is at school, which sadly is P.E. He laughs when I say that. Man, he looks so handsome when he laughs. His eyes sparkle when he laughing, I dare to say he looks more beautiful. Unfortunately, he's married and already has a mate. Maybe in another life. I must have stared at him longer than I thought because he cleared his throat.
"I'm sorry but I have to ask this okay," he says rather uncomfortable. I was confused why would he be uncomfortable?
"Are you physically active with anyone?" he asked and now I can see why he was uncomfortable. He must be uncomfortable asking one of his son's classmate if they're having sex. I didn't see him go stiff from my silence, or that his calm expression turns into a painful one, nor him tightening his hand against the clipboard.
"Well this is awkward, but no I'm not having sex with anyone, nor have I had sex with anyone," I tell him, feeling uncomfortable myself. Call me crazy or whatever's, but he looked relieved for a second. Nah I'm just looking into things that aren't there.
After that, we continue with the rest. He checked my heart, which he was to close for my liking. Hopefully, my heart didn't sound like a giant mess. I mean common if Dr. Sexy was in front of you, with one hand over your chest and the other on your back, pretty sure your heart would be racing. Hopefully, he didn't take it as a bad thing or then again I'm pretty sure he gets these reactions whenever he has to do a physical check up on his female patients. For some reason, that didn't sit well with me and I'm getting mad/jealous. I sigh, get a grip, Amelia. He isn't yours nor would he ever be.
We finished my check up and he says that everything looks good. Which I'm happy, of course. I didn't want to leave him nor did I want him to leave me. I just wanted to stay here in the room, just staring at him forever. I'm okay with that but once I remember he has someone.
"Well, I'll see you around?" I asked him before he left. He gave me a sad smile and nods.
"Yeah, see you around." And with that he left me in this empty room, thinking about him. Dam,n I'm going home, taking a shower and hitting the hay (sleep).
Leaving the the room, I see Dr. Cullen talking to one of the nurses. More like the nurse was flirting with him and he wasn't acknowledging her attempts. Another one on the Dr. Sexy 'I wish he was mine' list. Well to bad girl, he has someone waiting for him at home. I turned around and start to walk out the door. As I was turning I didn't see him giving me one sad longing look. Nor did I realize that he kept on watching me leave until I was safely on my bike. Getting home, I didn't even take a shower. I left Bella and Charlie a note on the frig and went to sleep.
Once again, Amelia didn't realize something important. She didn't say Bella's or Charlie's house, she said home. She was feeling more like she was at home with Bella and Charlie. She's starting to feel like she belong with them. Little did she know that they were feeling them same.
Amelia's note:
Hey,
I'm home, went to bed early. Doctor's appt went good, see you in the morning.
-Love Amelia :)
Bella POV:
So much has happened today and I can't wait til I talk to Amelia. Hopefully, everything went good at her appointment. Charlie and I pulled up at the drive way, seeing Amelia's bike parked there. Good, Amelia's home. She'll probably be on the couch watching tv. I went inside and didn't see her there. Charlie looked at me.
"Where's Amelia?" he asked.
"Probably in the kitchen" I reply making us laugh a bit. I was hoping Amelia can cheer up dad. We both went in the kitchen, expecting to see Amelia eating. And still no sign of her. Dad and I were getting worried, I know he was because he looked worried. I was going to call out her name until a piece of paper caught my attention. I walked over to the frig. I read it, smiled and showed it to dad. He smiled and told me he'll do the same.
As I went inside the room, I see Amelia sleeping peacefully. Im glad that her appointment went well. Leaving her to rest I went on my mission. I took out the book and did my research on the Quileute Legends. After what seemed like forever, I finally figured out the Cullen's secret. How could I been so stupid. It was obvious, that they're vampires. How could I not see that. Now that I think of it, I start to remember everything since the day I met them. Every conversation I had with them or about them. And I realized something else. Amelia knows about them. No wonder she would always defend them when someone would call them names or when they would bad talk about them. She knew, of course, it's Amelia after all.
I decided to awake up Amelia to talk to her. She awake up, looks at me and smiles. She sees my confused and hurt expression. Her smile falls and she looks around. Her eyes lands on my laptop with a vampire sucking some girls neck. She looks back at me and gulps. She gave me a awkward/embarrassed smile.
"So finally realized the truth," she says. What does she mean finally? How long has she known? She sighs.
"Man, at least I took a decent nap. We're going to be up the whole night." I nod and waited for her to tell me everything and I'm going to get answers.
