Chapter 6 New Beginnings

After last night at the bar, Em and Rose hadn't left my side. We got back to my apartment and talked about everything that had happened. Em was pissed that I hadn't told dad about what had happened, I just wanted to forget it and move on, I know I should tell him but just like Emmett he would just worry. I still cant believe it had happened. It had been almost 2 years and it took 2 minuets to bring it all back .

I was so surprised at how Edward had responded. It felt nice to be in his arms, call me crazy but I felt so safe with him holding me. I never let another man touch me physically or my heart after what James had done to me. I told myself I would never trust a man again. He had hurt me in the worst way a man could hurt a woman. Promises that were broken and my heart in the end in pieces. I knew he would never hurt me that way again, I never will let anyone hurt me that way again. I remember how I felt when I first moved to Phoenix with my mom, I was so hurt and lost, part of me died that night and I knew I would never get that part of me back. I had lost a baby, and I didn't even get the chance to really get used to the fact I was pregnant. It was stolen from me, and I will never forget it.

I was brought out of my thoughts to Em snoring, loudly I might add, next to me on my bed. He held me as I cried and told me that everything was going to be ok ,that he wouldn't let anything or anyone hurt me again. I knew I couldn't go back to the way I was I had to be strong, but could I? Could I move on and live? I guess only time would tell.

Today I start my new job, kind of a new beginning a way of moving forward in my life. To say I was nervous was an understatement. I hadn't heard from or seen Edward since the other night, and I knew my chances were fairly high that I would run into him since we were working at the same hospital, but I didn't know really how to act around him. Were we friends? I don't know really how to talk to him anymore. To be honest would he even want to talk to me after what happened?

I pulled up to the hospital and grabbed my paper work and purse. I knew I had to go to the front office but after that I want sure where to go.

"Hi my name is Isabella Swan, I was supposed to start here today in the pharmacy but I am not sure where to go?" I asked the red head behind the desk.

"Yes hi, my name is Tanya and I was informed to expect you, just one minuet and I wil get Mike for you, he will show you where you will go."

"Thank you", I said, and she smiled back at me with a bright cheerful smile. I stood there and looked around noticing all the doctors coming and going, everyone seemed nice and cheerful. That was a good sign right?

"Isabella?" I heard my name being called from behind me. I turned around and was in shock, there stood Mike Newton in scrubs. I hadn't seen him since graduation; he was still small and still had those bright blue eyes.

"Yes, that's me"

"My, my, my, if it isn't Bella Swan, how are you doing?" he asked as he pulled me up in a hug.

"I am good, how have you been?"

"Good, good I see you are starting today, I am glad to see you, if you would follow me we will get you started, and introduce you to everyone."

I followed him down the hall to the elevators we stood there in comfortable silence waiting for the doors to open.

We stepped inside and he pressed the button to the basement. After we got off the elevator we took a right and down a hall to the pharmacy door. He had to swipe his badge to get in the door.

"If you would just follow me I will get your badge and information for you, and then I will show you around." He smiled back at me.

"Sure, but I will be honest with you, I am really nervous about starting here, you know new hospital and all, its just kind of overwhelming for me." I said it a smile but I was shaking in my crocks.

"There is no reason to be nervous, we are really laid back here, and we all work real well together, and if it makes you feel better there is a certain dark haired girl that will be very happy to see you." He laughed at the last part. Who could he be talking about?

After he gave me my badge and I put my purse and personal items in a locker we walked thru another set of doors into the pharmacy. I was shocked when I came up face to face to my good friend Angela, she was always a great friend and we were really close in school.

"Bella, oh my God it is you." She ran up and hugged me tight, it felt nice to see her to be able to talk to her again. I pulled back to look at her.

"Ang, you look great, I have missed you so much." I said as I noticed we were both crying.

"We have to have lunch, and catch up today." She said

"Of coarse, lunch it is" I said with a smile.

After we went over the stations and Mike showed me where I would be putting the info into the computer and keeping up with the patient info, I had noticed how fast the time had went. Angela came up to me and reminded me about lunch. We left side by side to the cafeteria to eat.

We talked about everything that had went on in school and what she had been up to since we last seen each other. It felt nice to talk to her and reminisce on the past. It felt as though we had never been apart.

We were sitting there eating when I heard my name being called from behind me. I knew that voice as if it were my own. I turned around and there he stood. Looking like the Greek God he was in his blue scrubs. I think I actually drooled a little, pretty sure I stared a little to long but WOW he was hot.

" Hi" I said as he walked up to stand in front of our table, with that crooked smile on those perfect full lips.

"So how are you doing? I have been meaning to call you, but I got called in late last night and hadn't had the time to take a break until now. I was hoping to catch you here." He looked over to Angela and said hi to her before looking back to me.

"Well you know I've been good, as you know today was my first day and I was pretty nervous but that has passed and I am very happy. Nothing to worry about, everyone's been real nice to me and helped me out quite a bit."

"That's great, I guess I better get back to work, its been good talking to you, if you need anything please know you can come to me and I will help you anyway I can." He gave me a bright smile and leaned down to give me a hug before he walked away.

Angela gave me a knowing grin and went back to eating her salad. After lunch the day seemed to fly by and before I knew it it was time to go home. I was happy that my job was fun and everyone was great. Angela and I exchanged numbers and promised to do lunch again tomorrow.

I drove home with a weight lifted off my shoulders. I think everything was going to be ok, for the first time in a long while everything seemed right. I called Rose and told her about my day while I unpacked some more boxes. She was great and I was so glad Em had her in his life. Alice called to confirm the plans to go shopping for a few things I still needed for my apartment. After I ate my diner and watched some tv I was ready to call it a night.

The week went by quickly and without any mishaps. Emmett and Rose came over on Thursday and we had diner with Dad. I cooked his favorite my spaghetti and meat balls with garlic bread. After we sat and just enjoyed each other. It was nice, and for the first time in years I felt like I was home. And just a promised Em never said anything to dad about what had happened.

Saturday around 9pm I was sitting on my new comfy couch reading in my book. I was enjoying the peace and quiet, when I heard my door bell chime. I made my way to the door wondering who it could possibly be. I looked thru the pep hole and was surprised to see non other than Edward standing outside my door. I opened it and was greeted with his heart stopping smile.

"Hey, I was just getting home and noticed your light on. Would you like some company?" he asked in a little unsure voice.

"Sure I would love some, come on in." I stood back as he walked in and stopped. I closed the door only to turn around and have his lips on mine.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving And a Merry Christmas!!!!
