A/N I am sooooo sooo sorry for the wait! I've been doing it a lot lately and i don't know why. I think i just need to light a fire under my butt and keep it going! Well I hope you enjoy this chapter! Review and let me know what you think! I'm open to suggestions as well. Thanks guys!
"Carlisle what are you doing here?" How I had found my voice is beyond me.
"I'm your doctor; it's my job to be here." Was that a hint of sarcasm coming from Carlisle? Oh, this would not end well.
I quickly turned to Emily and said "I want another doctor."
Emily looked at me with the most baffled expression on her face. "What do you mean you want another doctor? What's wrong with Carlisle? I'll have you know he's one of the best doctors here and you're damn lucky to have him." Ha! If only she knew.
I looked over to Jake who was shaking more and more with each passing second. This was going downhill and fast!
"Jake, sweetie…you need to calm down!" I said as panic slowly started to flood me. If Jake phased here not only would we have to explain to Nurse Dickers and probably half the nursing staff why there was a mythical creature in their hospital, but he might also kill Carlisle. And as much as I wasn't pleased to see him…we didn't need that.
"Bella…I…can't." He said through gritted teeth as he stared at Carlisle with hate filled eyes.
"Then you need to leave." I said, dropping my voice down to just above a whisper.
"I can't leave you!" Jake roared.
"Jacob Black shut up!" I hissed at him. "Either you can calm the fuck down or you can leave."
He turned his gaze to me and his eyes softened considerably. "Bella, I can't leave you with…with him!"
"Yes. You. Can." I said gritting my own teeth.
"What if he…" Jake began to tremble more. I was surprised that he had held out this long.
"What Jake? What if he what? You may not know him very well, but you know damn well that out of all of them…he'd be the least likely to hurt me."
"Yes. But. He. Still. Could!" Jacob was starting to practically vibrate.
"Jacob Black if you do not get your ass out of this fucking room in two seconds…no sex at all indefinitely!"
Jake's eyes widened considerably as he looked between Carlisle and me. Finally he nodded his head.
"But I'm only going just outside and I swear to God if he makes one wrong move…I'll be in here so fast and I will not hesitate to rip him from limb to limb and…"
"Jake…we get it!"
Jacob nodded before throwing Carlisle one last hateful, warning glance and then leaving.
I turned to Carlisle who was looking at me with a funny expression on his face. He caught my eye and the stone vampire mask was firmly put in place. He was in doctor mode now, but I knew his interrogation was coming.
"So, Isabella," I winced when he used my formal name, the one he knew I hated "Can you tell me what happened?"
"Well, my friend and I were riding our bikes into town and I hit a patch of black ice and I crashed." I said as matter-of-factly as I could.
"Bikes as in motorcycles?" Carlisle asked.
I smirked a little when I caught the concern flash behind his eyes. This was ridiculous. Alice had probably already told him what had happened.
"Well, duh!" I said trying to keep the smile off of my face.
"Isabella Swan!" I heard Emily sternly say from behind Carlisle.
I turned my head a little to see that she was standing there looking indignant with her hand on her hips. I laughed a little and watched as her face turned a bright red, anger radiating off of her.
"What?" I asked as innocently as I could.
I had to admit that new Bella was much more fun than old Bella. I liked messing around with people, making them angry or whatever I wanted them to be.
"I can't believe you! Please excuse her Dr. Cullen; Isabella here has a distinct disrespect for those people who hold authority and for those who try to help her." Emily said at first harshly when she addressed me and then softer when she addressed Carlisle.
Carlisle's eyes turned disapproving and he looked a little upset. I wanted nothing more in that moment than to tell him and his family to fuck off and leave me the hell alone. Much in an Edward like fashion his face became stone again before he began talking to me again.
"Were you speeding?"
"I don't see why that matters." I said as I crossed my arms over my chest.
"I'll take that as a yes."
"Whatever." I said as I looked away from him.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw him turn to Emily and say "She probably has a concussion, I want to take her down to get a CAT scan to check out her head more closely just to make sure nothing more damaging happened. Then we'll take her down to x-ray and get her arm bandaged up."
"Of course Dr. Cullen, I'll have it arranged now." I heard Emily's sweet voice say. She was being "dazzled" no doubt. I could sort of feel for her then because I knew what it felt like, but the 'Cullen Charm' had long since worn off for me.
"If you wouldn't mind, I would like to have a private word with Isabella." And here it comes. I knew I wouldn't be able to get out of this talk…not unless Jake went ballistic again.
"Of course not." I heard her say. But as she left I heard her mumble "but you're wasting your time."
As soon as the door was closed Carlisle dropped his stone mask. He turned to look down at me with disapproving, concerned, hurt eyes. Again the feel to tell him to fuck off over came me. As far as I was concerned they were all at fault. They had all left me high and dry without any word of where they were or where they were going. They had called me their own, said I was part of their family and that they all loved me. But my question for them now was, does family treat family like shit? No…of course not… and the only thing I could make of it was, we weren't family.
After a long period of him just looking at me I snapped "What!"
"What happened to you?" He asked grief clear in his voice. But didn't want his grief or his pity, I just wanted him out of my life…I never wanted any of them to come back into my life.
"What do you mean? I'm right here."
"No…the Bella I knew…my daughter is not here. I don't know who this person is.
"Damn right the Bella you knew isn't here. She's dead! And as for being you daughter…I never was a part of your family." I was angry now, more so than I had been before. And the hurt I had been trying for so long to burry was quickly making its way back to the surface.
My words seemed to hurt him. "Bella…I'm sorry, we didn't…"
"Shut up!" I nearly shouted at him. I didn't want to hear his empty apologies on behalf of his family. I couldn't bear hear those empty apologies.
"What?" He asked taken aback.
"I said shut up!" I said not trying to hide my anger anymore.
"Bella…what happened to you?"
"You and your family happened…now get out!" I said not wanting to him or about this anymore.
"No…no I won't. I need to talk to you!" Carlisle looked at me with pleading eyes, ones that reached me even though I didn't want them to. And I'd be damned if I didn't try to stop what he was trying to do. I couldn't be knocked back down again! I just couldn't! I had spent all this time trying to move on, and when I was finally starting to find myself again…myself without them…this happens.
"Yeah well I don't, now get the hell out!"
"Bella…please."
"Jake!" I called, knowing that this was the only way I could end this.
Carlisle looked wounded almost.
Within two seconds Jake was bursting through the door with murder in his eyes.
"I think it's time you leave this room…and us." Jake said as he toward over Carlisle.
Carlisle didn't look the least bit frightened, but I knew he wouldn't start anything with Jake. Always the pacifist and all.
Carlisle's face straightened again and his face was void of emotion as he made his way to the door.
"I'll leave you alone for now…but just so you know, I'm not going anywhere and neither is my family. I am your doctor and I will remain so until you are completely healed"
