Chapter 1: Coming Alive

"Na na na na na! You can't do it!"

"Of course I can do it I'm just worried I might fall. Please come down Esme, you'll get hurt. Please!"

Sammie could be so annoying and controlling sometimes but you know what I didn't care- for the first time I had beaten her and I was proud of being at the highest climbing point of the tree" I stared down at her looking up worried about what may happen. "Na na na na na! Na na na na na! Na na na."

The noise of the surroundings suddenly stopped. I could hear a woman's voice asking me all these questions, so many questions.

I suddenly realised where I was. I was in hospital I had fallen and injured my foot, Sammie would be dying to say she told me so and that's exactly what she did when she walked into the room.

I would have responded to her if it wasn't for him. He was tall, blonde and had me fixed from the first moment he stepped in and spoke. His voice! Oh, that voice!

"Good afternoon, I'm Dr Cullen. Carlisle Cullen and you must be Miss Esme Platt" he spoke with a soft tone that was enough to make my heart race even more than it already was. "Now Esme, it doesn't look like you've done anything serious it's only a mild sprain. I'll bandage it and you should be out of her in no time", he said carefully bandaging my ankle whilst I tried not to stare directly at him.

The truth was i didn't know him, I knew nothing about him other than his name and that he looked in his twenties. Carlisle. Carlisle. His name ran round and round in my head whilst I tried to take a mental picture of his face, his body, his voice. Then, it was gone. He finished my leg, lead me to reception to sign the papers and with those 3 words he was gone. "Goodbye Esme Platt".

Say something Esme. Say something!

"B-b-bye. Huh", well done girl! You've officially freaked him out; any normal person would have just said thank you and bye with no hesitation and no embarrassing smile.

CARLISLE'S POV

She was so beautiful, with her golden hair and brown eyes; her scent was so unique- it was of rain, summer and daisies. In those few minutes of interaction I was mesmerised and yet she was only sixteen, 9 years younger than my human state; she had her whole life ahead of her if only Alice was here I could've known what might happen to her.

I loved her smile and her cheeky little grin she gave me as we said goodbye. Oh my word her smile, her beautiful, captivating smile…

But, I couldn't have done anything. No matter what my feelings were.
