OMG, I am so sorry, I took me so long to write this chapter and it is not THAT long. It's just that the begginings are always the worst thing. Anyway, I hope you like it, sorry if there are some mistakes, I hope it is at least understable :D

Carlisle's POV

As I was going through the rooms, I felt that I needed to clear up my head and mainly I needed to get out of the dark and empty house. It may seem funny, that a vampire is scared of darkness, but it wasn't the darkness, that made me feel uncomfortable and scared. It was the silence, the loneliness of the place. I've been lonely for so long before, that I didn't wanted to feel something like that anymore. But obviously, here it was again.

I walked out of the main door and I decided to go hunt. Not that I really needed to, but what else to do here? It was nearly midnight and in Forks really aren't possibilities where to go in the middle of the night. Especially when you are a vampire, who actually does not sleep. Never.

As soon as I entered the forest I knew, that If I thought, that the whole Forks was already sleeping, I was terribly wrong. I could saw shining lights all around and from their screams and running I could say, that they were looking for something…or somebody. But who the hell could get lost in a forest like this? I wasn't really sure, if it was even possible to call it forest.

"Bella?" I suddenly heard them calling the name. They were looking for Bella? Even though I knew I should quickly disappear, because what would they think if they saw Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the forest in the middle of the night, I decided to look for Bella as well. Something could happen to her, she could trip, fall, injure herself and if she did, she is definitely going to need a doctor. Me.

It didn't take me that much time to find her. She was lying on the cold ground hidden in the shadows of the trees, completely silently. She obviously wasn't trying to answer on their screams. I wasn't even sure if she could hear them. I couldn't smell any blood, so I could say, that she wasn't hurt…at least not physically. She was probably in shock, because she was trembling. That could of course be caused from the cold ground. I took her in my arms in bridal style and I walked in the direction where I knew was her house. Her breathing was hard and irregular so I could be sure that if she's not going to be sick, it will be a miracle.

"Carlisle?" she said suddenly, looking up at me, and her voice cracked on the end of the word. I watched her face, looking for tears. There weren't any.

"Yeah, I'm here, Bella. It's going to be alright…you'll see it will…" I whispered to her.

"Why are you here? Is he…Did he…I mean…" she couldn't get Edward's name out of her mouth and I knew it. It was hard to disappoint her, she seemed to be so hopeful. She wanted to hear, that he didn't left, that he is waiting for her in her room.

"No…they left. All. It's just me who stayed…" I replied silently. Her expression fell again and she just closed her eyes, her face painful again. I sighed. Did Edward really want this? He and his fast decisions. They never bring anything good.

With Bella in my arms I walked out of the forest.

"Bella!" Chief Swan yelled with relief written all over his face.

"She's alright. No injury. " I said, adding the second sentence, cause I knew, that to say 'she is alright' isn't really true.

"Dr. Cullen, thank you so much. I though that something happened to her. But…I don't think we called you for help, did we?" Swan asked me. Damn. Well, what to say now?

"No, I just though that I am going to take a look at Bella, if she's alright, when Edward left, you know. Then I saw all the lights and I just though I should help." I said, noticing, that Bella fell asleep in my arms.

"Oh…so he really left? Why…did you stay? I mean…why didn't you leave as well?"

"Well, I just couldn't left in the moment he decided to. I will join them later." I explained her silently.

"Oh." he nodded, going back to his thoughts, "and don't you think it is a little bit unfair from him to left her in the middle of the forest and-"

"Please don't judge my son wrong, Chief Swan. I can assure you that he only did it because he thought it is for everyone's best." I said.

"Yeah, sure." he snorted, obviously not eve trying to believe me. I understood it. He did have his right to be angry. I would be if I was him.

"I am not saying I agree with what he's done, but he definitely didn't wanted to do anything wrong. He just sometimes sooner acts than thinks…all of us do, don't we?" I said. Charlie Swan just sighed. He obviously didn't wanted to argue with me, fortunately.

"Well, I think I should take her inside. May I?" I asked. He looked at Bella in my arms, concerned look on his face.

"Of course." he just said and he walked to the house. I slowly followed him.

"Her room is right opposite the stairs…" He pointed upstairs. I nodded, taking silent steps as I went up. I opened the door and I could immediately recognize, that it is her room. Her scent was everywhere, in every corner of the room. It amazed me for a while. When I realized I should move, I put her down on her bed, covering her with blanket. Then I turned to walk away.

"Carlisle?" she asked silently. I turned around, surprised, that she is awake.

"Bella? I am sorry, I didn't wanted to wake you up. You need to sleep. Just close you eyes again and sleep, OK?" I said with a smile on my face.

"I…don't think I can." she said, looking down at her hands.

"Of course you can, Bella. You need to. " I said again.

"It's just that…you know…he used to be here with me, when I was sleeping…I guess I'm kind of used to it." she said, her eyes staring at the ceiling. She was fighting tears, I could see that. A completely stupid idea came from my mouth before I could stop it.

"Do you think it would help if I stayed here with you?" I asked and she looked at me, surprise in her eyes. She wasn't the only one who was surprised. Neither I would expect myself to say something like this. This was completely not-Carlisle-Cullen's-like.

"Maybe." she said, her brown eyes watching my face carefully as if she was looking for something. I though about it again.

"Well, but I'm afraid it's not possible, because Charlie might be a little mad if he won't see me leaving the house." I said and I was sure, I must look disappointed. God, where did that come from? I felt disappointed that I couldn't stay here? Am I crazy or something?

"You could…leave the house and then come by the window. I mean…he…used to do it so." she said silently. I looked at her. She really needed to sleep. Maybe I could at least give it a try.

"OK. I'll try it then. I promise." I nodded, smiling lightly.

Few minutes later, I was silently opening her window, asking myself what the hell am I doing. I imagined what would people say if somebody saw me there. Dr. Carlisle Cullen, three adoptive children, married and he is climbing through a window into the room of his son's ex-girlfriend like some crazy teenager. Jesus. That would be hell.

"You really came." Bella's surprised voice interrupted the stream of thoughts that was coming through my head. Fortunately.

"Of course I did. I promised I will, didn't I?" I asked. She nodded, putting her head back on the pillow, closing her eyes. I sat down on the armchair opposite to the bed, looking at her resting face.

"Is it better?" I asked silently.

"Yeah, a little." she nodded. I did the same. I was waiting if she is going to say anything, but she didn't. She just lied there, silent and if I wouldn't see her thorax moving, I could consider her as dead.

A while later her breathing became slow and I knew she fell asleep. I watched as her lips opened a little as she needed to breathe and I found myself staring at her in amazement. When I realized what I was doing, I quickly turned my attention to her room. In the corner stood a desk with a computer on it and there was lot of frames with photos deployed all over the table. I silently stood up and I walked to look closer. She muttered something from her sleep as I stood up, then she was silent again. I watched all the photos. There were photos with her friends, her father, her and Edward and her mum. I looked back at the sleeping brunette in the bed, studying her face. She kind of looked like her mom. Except for the nose, that was definitely Chief Swan's nose. I smiled at my own thoughts.

It was few hours later when the harder part of the night started. She had nightmares. And Jesus, I've never seen anyone so…hurt, so broken. It hurt to see her, to hear her. She wasn't actually saying anything concrete, she was just crying and muttering something. I knew, that I should very quickly do something or Charlie is going to come here and calm her down. I just sat down on her bed and I put my hand on her cheek, slowly caressing her. To my huge surprise, she calmed down as soon as I did it. I sighed and I wimped the tears off her face with my thumb. I was wondering what was I now. Probably a baby sitter of a broken girl. I was sure, that I could and I should leave her, but I wasn't so sure, that she would be OK. Besides that, I just wanted to stay there. She, and I was sure she didn't know it, made all the people around her feel so damn protective over her. She was a trouble-magnet and everyone, including myself, felt urge to never let her hurt herself. Which was kind of impossible.

She sighed in her sleep and with some muttering she moved closer to me. I looked down at her face and I was pretty sure, that this was going to be long night…

"Bella…you should wake up…" I whispered, putting my hand slowly on her face. She moved a little bit and then she yawned, her eyes still closed. I was looking down on her face, wondering when she's going to realize, where exactly is placed her head. Somewhere deep inside of me I had a huge urge to chuckle. Weird.

"I know…but I terribly don't want to…" she muttered and then she slowly forced herself to open her eyelids. I patiently waited for her to do something. She sighed, looked around and then she realized, that she is lying in my lap. With a shriek she immediately sat up. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was actually kind of cute. And funny.

"Gosh, I was really sleeping on you like this the whole night?" she asked with a shocked expression on her face.

"No, not the whole night. Just few hours, actually…" I said, trying to keep my face serious. She stared at me in disbelief.

"I am so sorry." she mumbled then and if I was human, I wouldn't probably catch it.

"For what exactly?" I asked, surprised by that.

"You stayed here because of me, and all I did was, that I made my personal pillow of you. " she said with a guilty face. I really couldn't see, where the hell is the problem. She was really blaming herself for everything.

"Bella, if I would mind, I would wake you up, or I would at least move you, don't you think? And you desperately needed to sleep. And if this was comfortable for you - even though I have no idea how is that possible when I am actually not really soft - then I don't mind, OK? Besides that, it was really worth this…" I said, watching her face.

"It was worth what?" she asked quickly, completely confused.

"It was worth seeing you hair in the morning." before I could realize it, I chuckled like come crazy teenager. Jesus, Carlisle, just think about your behavior, will you? My own mind tried to calm me down. Amazing.

"Well, thank you for reminding me that I look like a complete idiot in the morning." she glared at me, but she didn't really seem angry or scary at all.

"You're welcome." I nodded and smiled at her. After a while her face became serious again and she looked into my eyes again.

"Now seriously, Carlisle. Thank you for being here. It really means a lot to me. And once more - sorry for that making my pillow of you…" she said and she smiled a little bit.

"Bella, I think that I've already told you it didn't matter…" I repeated. She nodded. Then she stood up.

"Well, I guess I need few minutes for making human out of me, will you wait here?" she asked while she was halfway out of the door. I nodded. She smiled and disappeared. I heard that she turned the shower on. I smiled and I let myself drown in my own thoughts.

She was back in ten minutes ad if I expected that she is going to smile, I was terribly wrong. Her face was darker than when she was leaving.

"What happened, Bella?" I asked her carefully. She sighed and she sat down on the bed next to me, staring at the wall in front of us.

"It's just…you know, when you are in the shower, it makes you think about everything." she muttered. I looked at her. She was back to the broken Bella I saw when I found her. I thought, that she is actually getting better with every minute, but now one shower showed me, how stupid and naive I was.

"It's going to be alright…" I said and I had a strange feeling that I was repeating myself. She looked at me and she smiled at me. It didn't give me any of it's usual warmth.

"I know. It's just that it's not alright now, you know." she replied. I sighed. And then suddenly the silence was cut off with the beeping sound of my pager.

"I'm sorry, I have to go to the hospital. And you have to go to school…" I said and I stood up slowly. She nodded, looking up at me. I tried to figure out what to say. Goodbye? Take care of yourself? See you soon?

"Will you come tonight?" she asked.

"If you want me to." I replied, shrugging.

"Of course. I would like to sleep at least one night more." she said sarcastically. I raised my eyebrows.

"Well, then, I guess see you later, Bella…" I said as I walked to the window to get out of her house.

"See you, Carlisle…"
