Damn, I'm fine this morning. Dressed, teeth brushed, breakfast eaten, hair... maintained, all by 8:20am. Bang on time for work. Today we have a meeting with Apple again, to see of they are going to take us on. Personally, I think a phone call would have done, but they have to be all fancy-ass about it, and make a big meeting.

Grabbing my brief case, and making sure my shoe laces were tied, I headed out the house, ready for a long day at work. Think of the mone-

"Woah!" This... this thing that had flung herself at me. "Oh, crap! I'm so sorry! I'm just... ugh, my dads dog just... and I was running... clumsy!" she panted. Idiot! Now I'm going to be late.

But then she looked up at me, and I saw her beautiful, big brown eyes. She had long brown hair, with hints of red in it, making it a beautiful chestnut colour. It reached her waist, falling in soft tendrils. Her face was as pale as snow, but she was blushing the most endearing colour, she was embarrassed. Hold up. What the fuck? When did I become such a... pussy?

"Well, uh... It's, um, good I caught y-you..." Tripping over your words like a goddamn idiot. Smooth move, Edward...

"B-Bella. It's Bella." she stammered.

"Bella? As in Chief Swan's daughter, Bella? I'm Edward. My parents live next door to your dad." Late, Edward! I reminded myself. You're going to be late!

"Um... yeah. Sorry, I have to find Jake. See you round... Edward." she sighed. God damn it! I'm going to be so late! I looked at my watch. Fuck! I should have been there 10 minutes ago! So much for being right on time.

"Uh, yeah. Seeya." I replied, blithering like an idiot. She hesitated as if to ask something, smiled, and continued to run another 15 yards down the street. Only to trip over. Again. This time, however, I wasn't there to catch her, and she fell hard onto the concrete floor.

"Ow, crap!" she hissed. Oh, what the hell. I was already... twenty minutes (shit...) late, might as well help a damsel in distress.

"Wow, Bella... H-Hey, are you okay? You fell pretty, uh... h-hard, there." I ran my fingers through my hair, a new habit of mine. Bella looked up at me, her doe like eyes brimming with tears just about ready to fall.

"Y-Yeah, I'm f-fine. Happens all the time." She brushed it off, and I was about to help her up, but then she started to cry. Then I felt hopeless. These were real tears! Not like Tanya's crocodile tears, real tears, heartbreaking sobs.

"Oh, g-great! I c-can't even walk down the street without breaking something..." Breaking something? What?

"What d'you mean? Are you hurt?"

"No... I-I, well, yeah... I think I've b-broken my wrist. It crunched..." She grimaced. "I-I should c-c-call Charl-... my dad..."

"What? No, no, I'll take you to the hospital now! Come on, I don't want you to be in pain!" What? Stop being such a girl, man! "I-... uh, I mean, it might set wrong if we don't hurry."

"If y-you're sure..." she sobbed quietly.

"I'm sure." I replied, a little too quickly.

Four hours later...

It turns out that Bella did break her wrist, in two places. She has to stay in for the night so she can have an operation to set her bones back properly, or some shit.

She hasn't spoken to me since her breakdown on the sidewalk, but she does mutter thank you's every now and again, though. By now, it's 2:30pm, and we've been here for four fucking hours. Four hours! Why do these places take so long! I have work to take care o-

"E-Edward?" Bella's tiny voice croaked. Ah, so she's talking now. "M-My dad doesn't know I'm here... c-can you call him for me? P-Please...? He's probably searching the whole of Forks and thinking I'm dea-"

"Of course I can, do you have a mobile number?" I replied.

"Yes, Chief Swan. Yes, in for the night. Uh-huh. Yeah, I guess I could stay with her until you get here. Yeah, well, see you in a few hours."

Fuck. My. Life. Chief Swan on duty, and doesn't get off until 10pm. Guess I'm here for another eight hours... eight hours! I hate hospitals, even the smell makes me feel sick.

Walking down the hall to tell Bella the news, I hear humming coming from her room. It's quiet, but still there, still... Beautiful.

"Hey, you sing?" I said making Bella violently jump. "Oops, didn't mean to make you jump. Did you hurt your wrist?" She just smiled at me, and shook her head no.

"Well.. um, your dad can't make it here till 10pm, and asked for me to stay with you, so... I guess you're stuck with me, pretty girl." Pretty girl? What's happening to me?

She blushed a deep red for the second time today.

"You, uh... you don't have to stay, go home. You've already helped me enough today, thank you." she said gratefully.

"Nuh-uh, Chief's orders to stay and make sure you don't hurt yourself again." I smiled at her. "So, uh... what do you want to do to waste time?"

"Um... anything you want." She blushed.

"Okay, well, what's your favourite book?"

"Wuthering Heights." she replied

"Wuthering Heights, huh? Good classic. So, what's your... um... favourite colour?"

"Green!" she replied quickly, and blushed the brightest red I've seen yet. It went like this all night, we'd ask each other questions and exchange jokes, she was so easy to talk to. Before I knew it, Charlie was here.

"Oh, Bella! What am I going to do with you? Your mother is going to kill me! Oh, God..." Charlie sighed.

"I'm fine, Dad. Honest. Edward has kept my spirits up pretty darn good. I forgot why I was even here! Did you find Jake? I'm so sorry."

"Oh!" Charlie exclaimed. "Edward! I forgot you were here, sorry son! Well, Bells, we found Jake, so no need to worry."

I yawned. God, I didn't realise how much hospitals can take it out of you.

"Well, uh... I'll be off then. I hope you're wrist, uh, feels better soon, Bella." I said. I didnt want to leave her, but I was so tired.

"Oh! Edward... c-can I-I have your n-number? You know... to tell y-you how the operation g-goes?" To that, me and Charlie shot her a surprised look.

"Uh, sure... here you go." I wrote it down on a piece of paper, handing it over to her. "Goodnight Bella, Chief Swan."

I knew that from the look on Charlie's face that Bella was in for a lot of questioning tonight, making me even more eager to get away.
