This is my 2nd chapter of this story. I left a few loose ends toward then end, and I hope you will forgive me. I also gave you a little sneak peak on what happens with Bella's dad. I hope you enjoy and please a review if you like my story. Sorry for any mistakes I do not have a beta.

I quietly tip toed down the stair hoping my mom would not here me. Although the chances were very low considering she was sobbing loud enough to wake me up. As I reached the last stair I saw my dad standing in the foyer putting his coat on. "Daddy?" I asked. He jumped a little startled by my presence and turned toward me. "Hey munchkin what are you doing up so late?" He said as he knelt down on his knee so he would be eye level with me.

" I heard mommy crying, so I came to see if she was having a nightmare.' I whispered looking at him with a confused expression. "Oh no honey mommy's not having a nightmare, she's going to be okay why don't you go back to bed." He said this as he started to get back up to his feet.

"Wait!" I yelled as he began to open the door. He looked up over his shoulder, so I continued. "Where are you going daddy?" He quietly made his way back over to me and leaned down to kiss me on my forehead.

I closed my eyes an enjoyed this feeling of him giving me affection he rubbed his hand up and down my arms and said "Daddy's going to leave the house for a bit." I looked back up to him "When will you be back?" I asked. He sighed and turned his head to my mommy's closed bedroom door. "Hopefully sometime soon." He looked back towards me and said "munchkin I need you to remember something while I am gone okay." I gave him a slight nod. And looked down at his brown leather shiny shoes.

I felt my tear slide down my cheek as it landed on his shoe. Darkening the leather where my teardrop fell. He tilted my chin up and said, "I need you to remember that I love you so much and that me leaving has nothing to do with you." Okay?" I gave him another little nod, and he continued, "This was all daddy's fault and I'm so sorry, I promise I wont be gone forever I will be back." I was really crying now as I looked into his eyes I saw them filling up with tears like my own. 'Daddy I don't understand what's your fault? What happened, why wont you stay?" He cradled my check with his palm and gently wiped away my tears on my cheek and let some of his fall. "Bella, I love you and I will come back to you and your sister, but that's all I can tell you right now. "Goodbye my sweet angle." He got up to his feet and gathered up his suitcase and jacket and walked out the door.

I stood there stunned blinking away my tears as I tried to come to terms with what was happening. Listening to my mom still crying in her bedroom but her sobs had turned quieter probably hoping to not wake us up. I heard my bedroom door open from upstairs and I turned my head towards my sister who was coming down the stairs. 'Bella? Bella, what's wrong?" then suddenly her voice changed. 'Bella?" "Bella, Bella wake up?' I gave her a confused expression because this voice was different. 'Bella." "I knew we shouldn't have let her sleep she's never going to get to work on time now." I slowly opened my eyes as I came back to the present.

I sat up from my bed and looked at my two best friends, Alice and Jacob. 'Finally," Alice sighed, "I was starting to worry that you slipped into a coma." I looked back in forth form her to Jacob. As memories from last night started to come back to me, I started to become frantic. What happened, why am I here, how Jess?' "Bella calm down" Jake said " Your sister called us this morning and asked us to come pick you up so you could get ready for work and not be late. But when we brought you back you immediately fell back to sleep on your bed so we decided to let you sleep for a little while." I looked over to my alarm clock and quickly leaped out of my bed and ran towards the shower. 'Guys it 8:45! I have a meeting in 15 minutes!" I quickly jumped into the shower and washed my hair.

"I'm sorry Bella we tried to wake you up for quite a while now. I laid you out some clothes and brought you a coffee." Alice said. I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body and ran out to the bedroom. "Thanks you so much Alice I really do owe you." I took my coffee out of her hands and picked up my clothes up off the bed and ran back into the bathroom. 'You to Jake" I shouted out. 'Thanks Bells" he yelled back.

I quickly got dressed in my Black pencil skirt and blue ruffled short sleeve blouse. I looked into the mirror and cringed. My mascara was smeared down my face from last night. My long brown hair was hanging down my shoulders soaking my blue top. I got my hair dryer from underneath my sink and began blowing dry my hair. After about 5 minutes I flipped my hair back over and pulled it into a ponytail. I wiped the mascara of my face and ran out the door of my apartment saying a quick goodbye to my best friends. I ran out onto the street and hailed a cab.

I quickly got in to one that was already occupied not caring about being rude. I just needed to get to work on time and only had 4 minutes to get there. I jumped into the seat and yelled out my work address. "Miss, I will need to take this man first'. I didn't even bother looking over to see who it was. I just frantically begged him to please take me first. 'Please sir, you see I over slept a little and I have a meeting in 4 minutes I really need to be taken first." "I'm sorry miss but those are the rules." He said as he kept his eyes on the road. I was becoming very annoyed with this cab driver and contemplated diving out of the car in motion, but then figured that would not be my best option if I wanted to make it to work at all.

"Its fine sir you may take the lady first, I truly don't mind." I closed my eyes and hoped to god that was not who I though it was. I turned my ahead just to get a peak, and of course it was the same man from the coffee shop looking like a Greek god in his tailored black suit with a blue button down. A Blancpain watch, his hair was once again perfectly tousled on top his head with just a little spike towards the ends.

He looked at my with the gorgeous sea green eyes and I just gawked at him with what felt like hours until I was brought out of my stare by the cab driver yelling out "Sir!" He looked away from me and said, "Yes?" "I thought you had an important meeting to attend to as well?" The cab driver asked him. "Yes that is correct but my father can wait, now please take this pretty lady first." "No questions asked." I continued to stare at him overtaken by his sweet gesture. I almost wanted to say screw the meeting just so I could get a few more minutes alone with him. Almost.

"Thank you so much" I said as I reached my hand out to shake his 'Isabella Swan Its nice to meet you again" I said with a chuckle. "He smiled at me and shook my hand. "Edward, Edward Cullen". When our hands touched it felt as if a bolt of electricity shot up through my arm. I yanked my hand away surprised by the feeling. He looked a little stunned to. At that moment the cab driver pulled in front of my office. "Well this is my stop, I hope to see you again Mr. Cullen," I said flirtatiously as I opened the cab door. "Oh Ms. Swan?' He said as he stuck his head out the door. "Yes?" I said. 'You look very nice today" He said with a wink. I did a little dance in my head but kept a straight face as I said, "Thank you and call me Bella". He gave me a heart-warming smile and said "Okay Bella." Then he shut the door to the cab and drove off.

I stood there on the side of the road still surprised that I was able to meet him again. I took a glance at my watch. 1 MINUTE! I had 1 minute to get up stairs. I bolted up the stair to my floor. Panting by the time I reached the top. "Good Morning Isabella" the receptionist said. 'Good morning Patty" I said through heavy breaths. And then ran into my meeting.

My meeting went very well and I was able to get another new project to sign on to our editing company. I worked all day and only left the office once that was to grab a bite with Alice.

I gathered up my things and headed out of the office. "Oh Isabella" Patty the receptionist said as I was leaving. "Yes Patty?" She rolled her chair away from her desk and got something from under it. She brought out a huge bouquet of flowers. 'Some man by the name of Edward left these for you" I bolted to the desk and took the flowers out of her hands. "Thank you so much Patty." "You have a good night," I said as I walked out of the office with my flowers in toe. Once I reached my apartment I flung my keys on the coffee table and went to the kitchen to get a vase. It was then that I noticed a small not with the flowers. It read,

Dear Isabella, I seemed to have forgotten to ask you something when I met you this morning. I wanted to ask you out to dinner tomorrow night. I hope you will consider accepting my invitation. Call me with the number on my business card. If you choose to accept so we can set it up. I hope you enjoy these beautiful flowers, but they are nothing compared to you. - Edward Cullen

I closed the letter and placed it on my counter. I tapped my fingers on the counter contemplating my rule on the no hot sexy doctors. What could one date hurt? I thought to myself. Isabella no, you no better then to let this happen, think about your sister or your mom. When that thought occurred I tore the note and the business card and left the flowers on the kitchen counter. I walked into my room and changed into some pajamas.

I climbed into bed and turned the T.V to Food Network. I tried I honestly tried to focus on Paula and her butter, but my mind kept drifting to Edward, and then to my sister. It was a constant internal fight with what I wanted to do. And what I should do. I fell asleep still contemplating my decision. Still thinking about Edward.
