My first case was a boy that had a broken arm, his bone was broken in half and I knew he needed surgery; I could tell he broke it playing soccer because he has his gear on.
My next was a girl that needed stitches because she had tripped on her way to school . . .the list went on and on until five o'clock, I was tired and stressed, I went back up to the children's ward and sat down in the lounge chairs, drinking coffee, I looked up to see Edward walking towards me, I stud up.
"Bella, I thought you were dealing with the emergency cases downstairs." He asked, gesturing for me to sit down.
"Um . . . I was but there aren't anymore." He nodded.
"Bella?" He looked at me with a serious face.
"Yes?" I looked back at him and he smiled lightly.
"This might sound a bit early but would you go on a date with me this Friday?" He smiled, taking in a breath.
"Yes, I would love to, what time?" I asked.
"How does six-thirty sound?" I nodded. "So I will pick you up from your apartment."
"Yeah, do you want my address?"
"I already know it." He chuckled.
"So I will see you tomorrow night, I am not going to be working tomorrow, I actually have to leave know but I left all your instructions in your locker." I nodded, we both stood and hugged goodbye, and the shock going threw both of out bodies.
I watched as he walked off, tomorrow would be worse because I wouldn't see him. I sighed and went to the lounge, I opened my locker and took out three files and a list of about twelve things to do, they weren't major, just checking on patients and giving meds. I looked at Elizabeth's chart; I saw that she was stable.
I heard the lounge door open and Jessica arrived in with a man behind her, he was young and had blonde hair and blue eyes, he smiled widely at me but I looked away.
"Hey Jess." I said.
"Hey Bella, this is my friend Mike, he is an intern here." She gestured to him; I saw that he wore light blue scrubs and a white t-shirt underneath.
"Hi Bella." He shook my hand, a bit forcefully.
"Hello . . ." I whispered, going over to the sofa and sitting on it.
I looked through the files and a few minutes later the sofa shifted, I noticed that he was sitting way closer to me than Jessica; he was invading my personal space.
I stared at him and he smiled, I scowled and looked at Jessica, "Can you tell your friend to back off?" I got up and packed my things, bringing them with me as I walked out in a huff.
I didn't know where to go but for some reason I ended up on a gurney, studying in a quit hallway in the basement of the hospital.
The floor was usually where they kept all the donated blood and organs, I started writing down all the patients history's into there files.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked up to see a short women standing beside the bed, she looked very like the women that Edward was with before I had been assigned to him, she had some of his features.
Then I realized, she was his sister.
I smiled, "Hi, can I help you?" I asked.
"No, I was just wondering . . .are you the girl my brother asked on a date?" I nodded, blush creeping onto my face. "Well I was wondering if you would let me style you?"
"Err . . . I don't-" I started to say but she cut me off.
"Oh please, I beg you, you are a very good looking women and it would be my honour to style you, plus its free and you would look so sexy for your date with my brother."
I sighed, "Okay fine, but can u at least know your name?" I asked.
"Oh how rude of me, my name is Alice, Edward's sister, I am a designer in New York, Paris, L.A., and Seattle. And we are going to be best friends." I laughed.
"I am looking forward to getting to know you." I stated.
Just then my pager went off and I sighed, "You better go, I will come by your apartment at 12pm, on Friday, you have that day off work, right?" I nodded.
"Great, I will see you soon." She smiled and walked off, I quickly got my stuff together and ran down the hallway, I grabbed Elizabeth's chart and went to her room.
Everyone was there, including Edward. I handed him the chart and looked at Elizabeth, she was sleeping, she was still stable, nothing seemed to change.
Carlisle was the first to speak, "So have you chosen to do the surgery or not?" He asked politely.
"We have been thinking and we are going to go ahead with it." Richard spoke.
I looked at Anne who was just shaking her head, not saying anything, I saw her signature on the consent form and I stud back my back hitting the wall, I sighed quietly and Edward looked at me, a half hearted smile on his face.
"Okay well on Saturday evening we will do the surgery, Edward should be able to the surgical team up and running by then." Carlisle stated.
"I'll do the best I can." Edward whispered, looking down at Elizabeth.
I heard a pager go off and Carlisle left along with Richard, they were going to discuss payments.
Edward sat down in a chair beside Elizabeth's bed, he took her small hand in his. His eyes looking at her tiny body in the bed. Elizabeth started stirring and she smiled seeing Edward.
"Hello princess." He said to her and she giggled.
"Hi Edward." She yawned, "Mommy can we go to the play area?" She asked.
"No not today Elizabeth." Anne replied.
"Why? Is it because of what the boy said, that sick people go to a better world, that others take care of them." She sighed.
"Elizabeth-." Her mother started to say but her small weak voice cut in.
"No mommy, the little boy was right, people do go to a better world after this life, right?" She looked at Edward.
"They do but I am going to try and keep you away from that world for a little while longer." He said, taking a breathe, "I am going to try and keep you with mommy."
"Why?" She asked.
"Because I love you and I want to stay with you." Anne kissed her forehead.
"I love you too." She smiled back.
Edward stud and we both walked out. He let out a deep breath and sighed, "What's wrong?" I asked, my hand on his arm.
"Its just that I don't want to do the surgery, I feel as if I am going in blind, like I don't know what to do. The only thing that is keeping me happy is you, you're the one person that shows me that there is hope." He kissed my cheek and hugged me, then turning and walking away.
