Chapter 2: Old Friends

BPOV

It was good to see Mr. Webber again, and I enjoyed the ride to the hospital as he updated me on the procedures. The nerves didn't hit until we were in the parking lot, and I felt like it was my first day at Forks High School. Why was I nervous? I knew all the doctors here and they knew me so there shouldn't be anything to be nervous about.

"Where's Dr Crowe's car," I asked when I noticed a black Mercedes parked in his parking space.

"Didn't Charlie tell you," he said as he parked next to a silver Volvo. "Dr. Crowe retired a little over two years ago."

"No, I guess it just slipped his mind," I said still in shock. Dr. Crowe had been the doctor of Forks for as long as I could remember. I went to high school with son Tyler.

As we walked into the hospital, I saw the new doctor standing at the nurses' station. He was tall, had blonde hair and looked almost my age. Besides seeing the doctor, I could feel everyone else glaring at me. Then I heard that high pitch scream that I didn't wanted to hear.

"OMG Bella is that you."

I knew who it was even without looking. It was Jessica Stanley; she was one of my first friends in Forks until she thought that I was trying to steal her boyfriend Mike Newton. Anytime I hear or even think of that name I want to throw up.

"Jessica," I said happily. "How are you? Are you working here?"

"I'm great and happily married to Mike going on three years," she said showing off the wedding band. Nothing fancy just a single gold band, at least it was her and not me I thought. "I've been here for about a year now."

"I'm sorry to interrupt the happy reunion," Mr. Webber said. "Bella I would like to introduce you to Dr. Cullen."

"Of course Mr. Webber," I said thankfully. "Maybe we can catch up later."

"Why not at lunch later," Jessica said as she went back to work.

"You must be Isabella Swan," Dr. Cullen said. "I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen, but you can call me Carlisle if you prefer."

"It's a pleasure to meet you," I said. Of course he knew who I was, Forks was a small town and word traveled fast. "Please call me Bella; it's a lot easier to say then Isabella."

"I hope that enjoy working here," he continued to say. "Excuse me for just a second." Then he was on his way I guess to check on his patients.

"Thank you Mr. Webber from getting me away from Jessica," I said gratefully as we walked towards the pharmacy.

"Don't worry about it dear," he went on to say. "Angela told me all about it when you all were in high school."

We were near the pharmacy and Mr. Webber had already gone in. That's when I saw them two of my worst nightmares from high school. Down the hall near the pharmacy door I saw Lauren and Mike Newton. The taste of vomit was in my mouth and I grabbed a peppermint from my lab coat pocket. I could tell that they too were working here, Lauren was in scrubs and Mike was either in housekeeping or an orderly. I didn't care I just hoped that they didn't notice me. Knowing my luck they would notice me.

Wait I thought that Mike was married to Jessica then why is trying to kiss Lauren. I didn't know and didn't care. I didn't want to get mixed up in that miss again. Just when I thought that I was clear and I had my hand on the door knob that's when I heard.

"Hey Arizona," he still had that same high school attitude. "Welcome back."

"Hi Mike," I said as nice as I could. "Hi Lauren. How are you?"

Lauren didn't speak to me, thank goodness I thought. She walked down the hall to continue doing who knows what. Mike still stood there acting as if he was still in high school, running his hand through his blonde hair.

"So, Bella what you up to," he said trying to flirt.

"Actually it's Dr. Swan to you and I'm on my way to work," I stated.

After saying that to him, he walked down the hall past me and headed towards the ER. I knew that I needed to take a couple of minutes to put myself back together. I stood there and thought to myself.

Bella, you didn't go to graduate school to have two nobodies ruin it.

You can do this.

This is your passion and you love doing this.

Go in there and show them that you know what you're doing.

I took a couple of deep breaths and went into the pharmacy to see where my fate would lead me.

****This chapter was used to help set up a couple of characters that will play roles in my story and that is why it is only in Bella's point of view****
