Thanks for the reviews, here is chapter six!!!!!!!
Chapter six: Explanations
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.
I flipped the manila folder open but hesitated before looking at the paper on top. This was very aggregate in invading a person's privacy. Though it may be the only way that I can find out what is going on with Bella.
My eyes finally found the top paper which was a basic medical form with Bella's medical history that started when she was a baby. I scanned the paper for something a little more recent and I found something. About two years ago Bella had collapsed and was brought into the hospital were the doctors discovered a heart defect her heart was slowly fading; she would have less than a year to live. Bella needed a heart transplant…
"EDWARD!"
I slammed the manila folder shot and came face-to-face with a shocked and not very happy Carlisle.
"Edward, what are doing? What are doing in Dr. Devlin's office reading his files?!"
"Dad, I can explain." Yes I could explain my reasons but either way judging by the look on Carlisle's face I was in trouble.
"You better have really good explanation." He countered.
There was no getting out of this. I would just get it all out.
"When I asked you about Bella and Dr. Devlin earlier it was because I was concerned for Bella. Dad, I have some unrequited feelings for Bella and yet she is a complete stranger. This probably sounds stupid considering that I just met her but I was concerned when I saw Bella here at the hospital and then when you told me that Dr. Devlin was the cardiologist… I just... Bella would not tell me and we got into this fight…"
Carlisle was still angry I could see it in his eyes but he was smirking now.
"Do you even see yourself now, your eyes they're gleaming. I think I actually want to believe but you still can't do what you are doing right now. Please tell the file is not that of Miss Swan's?"
I furrowed my brow and shrugged my shoulders a guilty look claimed my face.
"Edward! Let's get out of her now!"
I followed Carlisle out of the office and luckily no one saw us, especially Dr. Devlin.
"Look Dad I'm sorry, but I know Bella is not going to tell me what's going on and its makes me anxious to know that she might not be okay."
"Edward I commend you for caring about someone you barely know. I can honestly say that since Miss Swan has medical problems but I do not condone sneaking around the hospital into a Doctors office and going through there things. Luckily for you I'm going to act like this never happened because what you did could affect me hear at the hospital if anyone here found out."
I guess I did not think that far, and it would kill me if my father got bad standings her at the hospital. Next to my Brother, Sister, and Mom my medicine-being a doctor was very important to him. To him it was not a career but an ardor.
"I'm sorry. I'll never do anything like that again." I promised and it was the honest truth.
"Well I'm sorry too but then again I'm not because for the rest of the week if you want to drive anywhere you're going to have to get a ride with your mother, Jasper, or Rosalie."
WHAT!
My jaw literally dropped. He was basically saying I have to go without my Volvo for a whole week. Of all the things he could do. I had been punished before, things taken away from me but it's been a few years and he has never taken my Volvo away.
"Dad come on, I'll learn from my mistakes."
"Well Edward you are eighteen years old and should have been smart enough to not pull a stunt like that. I still have to power to punish you – being eighteen years old or not – because you are my son, living in my home, and are still going to school. When you move out and are on your own then you can do all the stupid stunts you'd like, even though your mother and I raised you better than that but once your out your then you don't worry about getting your Volvo taken away."
I just stared at him but took his every word in, there was no way getting out of it.
"In fact I won't even tell your mother about this stunt if you can go the rest of the week without complaint."
"Yeah and like that'll fly she'll get suspicious when she sees that I'm not driving my Volvo."
"Well the economy does to save gas and your sister did just get that new convertible and so it's her turn to drive you and your brother to school."
Wow, the fact that he would lie to my mom like that was shocking but it made it easy for me to go through the rest of the week without complaint.
"Okay just as long as this week goes by fast."
When I got home Jasper, Rosalie, and Alice (who was always over) were in intense conversation. When Alice noticed me she popped her head and smiled at me. If she smiled anymore her face might just get stuck that way. She was practically beaming.
"Jasper why is your girlfriend giving that devious-I've-got-something-planned smile?" I tried to act annoyed but that was never a good look when it came to Alice Brandon. No one could ever be as predictable as Alice.
"Jasper told me that you liked Bella." She said happily.
I rolled my eyes then shot a death glare at Jasper and he just shrugged his shoulders.
"I ran into her at the grocery store before I came over here and got her to say yes coming to the party at my house Friday night."
Whoa!
"No way, she's coming?" I was flabbergasted.
"Did I stutter, of course she's coming! Then I found out that you like her!" Alice seemed proud of this revelation.
"How? How did you get Bella to agree?"
"Well I told her that there is not much to do around Forks and she should have some fun. She said no at first but after a little much more convincing she gave in."
"Yeah, probably under protest."
Rosalie and Jasper snickered a laugh at that comment but Alice just ignored them.
"Hey if you're coming to the party and Bella is coming to the party then you and Bella can hang out. You can make sure she has a good time she mentioned that she was not much for partying."
"Well Alice I'd love to do that but I think Bella really does not want anything to do with me right now."
A revelation that I hoped would change. It was obvious from what I read from her medical file that she had or would be having a heart transplant. It shocked me but I would not judge, no one can do a damn thing about the diseases of the world and it just made me care for Bella even more.
I would have to be very patient and get her to want my friendship and maybe I could get her to open her heart.
