Well I know I just updated like two day s ago but I just could not resist. I've been in such a good mood lately, so I decided to do another update.

I just love those reviews! Thank you!

Chapter five: Stop and Stare

BPOV

"Okay, well everything looks good Isabella."

"Bella!" I scolded. I told him to call me Bella when we first met a little over an hour ago.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. As I was saying you tests came back clean, you are doing a good job with sticking with the diet and taking your medication. I don't think I've got anything new to say unless you have any questions."

"No. No questions, can I go now?" I asked eagerly I got the same results from my last appointment in Phoenix but I'd never question when these appointments would end. I knew my heart would not just pick up my life like one I was born with. I was told before hand I would have to do appointments every two months for two years with my new heart.

"Yes, make sure to schedule an appointment before you leave."

"Okay I will."

I left the office slowly, not wanting Dr. Devlin to think I was anxious to get away. I had to take these appointments seriously. My mom had once said that if I'm not going to take my health seriously then I don't deserve a new heart. She said that was when I was really depressed. I was so angry with the health problems I was having, and I wanted to keep my heart.

I closed the door behind me then I moved fast before stopping at the Nurses station and scheduling my next appointment.

"Okay so that's two months from now on…"

"Bella," There was that all too familiar voice.

"Edward! Please, please tell me that you are not following me?" I said getting annoyed.

"I can honestly say no to that, my dad works here and I had to bring something too him."

"During school hours?" I eyed him curiously.

"Yeah, if you don't believe me just ask Jasper or Rosalie. We run errands for our dad during school hours all the time. As long as we get passing grades my dad does not care if were miss some school."

Okay I could believe him, and to think he was lying would make me a hypocrite. I did chastise him the other day when he started asking me things that I did not want to answer. He was answering me and that's more than I've done for him.

"Okay, I believe you. I think I'm going to go now." I looked back to the nurse whose mouth formed an 'o' shape. Was she really just waiting to finish talking to me? I suppressed a laugh.

"I'll be here again two-months from today. Thank you."

I turned around and walked away and Edward followed… yet again.

"So are you going back to school?" He asked.

"I don't think so, you?" I surprised myself; I was getting into small talk with Edward.

"I never do. Plus there is only like an hour of class left anyways." Edward seemed smug as he said this.

I felt myself smile, for some reason that was just so him.

"Nice too see you smiling." That caught me off guard.

"Don't get use to it."

Edward smiled back at me, "How did I know you were going to say that?" He said with a chuckle.

"Okay is this some attempt at small talk or something?"

"Yes it is. Is it working, because it seems like you actually want too talk to me." His smile turned to a grin.

"Yeah I guess it is, weren't you the one who wanted to be friends. Friends talk I assume." I hoped he did not take that seriously friends talk I assume, that just made me sound stupid.

"Of course, you know speaking of friends is it okay if I ask you something?" Edward seemed hesitant saying that and that aggravated me. Whenever people started a sentence with "Can I ask you something?" when the answer is obviously going to be yes, why can't they just ask what they wanted to ask straight up. It annoyed me to no end.

"It depends on what you're asking." I felt like I was playing a game with Edward.

"I noticed that you were with Dr. Devlin, the cardiologist. Are you okay?"

I stopped dead in my tracks looking away from Edward. I wanted to be angry at him, maybe he was following me if he knew who my doctor was but then he did say his dad worked here at the hospital – Edward probably knew a lot of the Doctors here – but it still surprised me.

"Uh... Edward I have to go."

I started to walk away but Edward stopped me, grabbing my wrist he pulled me close to him. I could see concern and sadness written all over his face.

"Bella, a cardiologist… you're definitely not here for a checkup. Please tell me are you okay?"

I pulled my arm from his grip and looked away from him.

"Why do you care?!" I was so used to being evasive that Edward caring just shocked me.

"Because,"

"Because what Edward? You DON'T EVEN KNOW ME!" It was the truth, no one really knew me.

"What if I said I wanted to get to know you, Bella I want to be your friend, and if I didn't then I would not be here right now."

"Well what if I did not want you to know me. It would make things to much easier." I challenged.

"Believe that all you want, I'm just trying to be a friend." Edward argued back.

Tears began forming in my eyes but not only were they out sadness but that of anger, "Well maybe I don't want any friends!" The words came out before I even realized. I always felt okay being alone but I probably just ruined any chance of that changing because with Edward having one friend felt okay. That nothing in my life would change.

Edward just stared at me unsure of how to respond. I took the opportunity and ran away not looking back but knowing that he would not follow me. I brought this on myself, just like with everything else in my life.

She did not want to be my friend. I was not sure how to feel about that. I had done so much to put myself in her way, to make friends with her. To be close to her and when it seems I'm getting somewhere she just shuts me out.

It hurt, one could call me crazy for saying that about a stranger but Bella was right I barely knew here but I still felt hurt. I had never had so many feelings and emotions about one person.

The hurt was minimal though, Bella may not want to admit it but she does need a friend. Why would anyone want to be lonely? I did not like being lonely.

I watched as Bella ran away and fought the urge to run after her, it would probably not be best right now. Especially since she thinks I'm always following her.

Even though she hurt me, I was not going to give up on her. She was hiding something from me. Was she pushing me away or does she really not want to be my friend?

I watched her till she was out of sight. Then what I decided to do next was probably not a good idea and goes over the edge on invading privacy.

I went to Dr. Devlin's office. Luckily he was not there and I went in. Looking around his office for a minute, then I walked to his desk. My luck just got better. A small stack of files sat on the desk and on top the file I needed read Swan, Isabella.

Grabbing the file I stared at it, it was thicker than most the files on the desk. That only peeked my curiosity. Gripping the opening of the file an inner debate flowed in my thoughts on whether to read Bella's file or not.

So will he read the file or not? You'll find out next chapter. Please leave a review.
