A/N: So if anyone is still out there I'm sooo sorry. I'm sure you dont want my excuses about RL being a bitch, and if none of you guys hate me and you read this then yay. This is a bit longer (5 pages on word) if you dont already know, fair warning, I'm a very slow writer. I write when i can and when I know what to write. I'm also looking for a beta, so as of now all the editing is done by me so if any errors bother you point out what i di wrong. I like to learn from mistakes.

Alot of you may already have this on alert, but if you don't you should. I love her Edward, probably on of my faves so far and the story is great.

See you at the end.

Chapter Two

PPOV

Sam, Jared, Jake, Embry and I were going out after a long night of patrols, so we decided on Tango Maureen's this really great strip club in Forks, it had been awhile since any of us had been here. We walked in and

all eyes were on us, I rolled my eyes. Not that I don't love female attention, but did they have to be so blatantly obvious? The first thing I noticed was the blond on the stage. Damn she was sexy, did they re-staff the

place? But then I noticed how Jared was looking at her, as if he was a blind man seeing for the first time. No longer sexy. I elbowed him in the side before any normal people saw and thought he was a creeper, he looked down and smiled. I smirked and sat down at a table near the front, the rest of the guys followed. Blondie was done doing her thing and a new girl came on, they announced her as Doe eyes, and lord were they right. I could get lost in her chocolate brown eyes forever. Jared snickered at me.

"I'm not alone am I?"

So I retorted.

"Hey, Jared! That Blondie was quite the looker huh?" I said loud enough for her to hear.

"Shut the fuck up Paul! Like we don't see the way you're staring at doe eyes up there."

Fuck! Did doe eyes hear that? I glanced up at the stage seeing her eyes on me. Yeah she did. I got real angry, that's when Sam jumped in.

"Boys! Calm the fuck down!"

"Sorry Sam." we both mumbled. Jake started to laugh loudly and all three of us turned and said:

"Shut up Jake!"

Her dance was done and I was pissed because I missed most of it. I watched as she walked to the bar and got a diet coke, the exchange she had with the bartender ended with her walking over to me. The look on the guys face was angry. I averted my eyes, landing on doe eyes. Swinging her hips and sauntering over to me. God she's sexy.

"Hey handsome." That made me grin!

"Hey yourself." I gave her my most panty dropping smile.

"I saw you sitting here by yourself and was wondering if you could use some company."

"From a beautiful thing like you, I would be honored." She sat down next to me and sipped on her diet coke. I took that time to observe her; perfect was the only word to describe her. Long mahogany hair, spilling to the bottom of her back, creamy skin, and big, chocolate brown eyes. When I was done with my assessment I looked up to see the bartender looking at us with questions all over his face, I glared at him.

"Whose you friend?" I ground out through clenched teeth.

" Emmett? He's just the bartender. "Yeah right. Do I look like I was born yesterday?

"Seems awfully protective of you to be 'just the bartender' "

"Well that could be because he's marrying my older sister."

"Oh. Makes sense. "At least she had someone looking out for her here. I looked at her and grinned. Seeing so many thing run through her eyes, so I decided to start a conversation.

"So, what can I do for you?"

"Huh? What?" she looked at me, confused. "I'm sorry what did you say?"

I chuckled. "I said what can I do for you?"

She blushed. She's so cute. Paul what the fuck? Cute? What happened to the man card!

"Oh. Umm. Well I was wondering if... Actually never mind." She shot up; I saw anxiety creep over her features. Good fucking job, scare your fucking imprint! Asshole! I berated myself. Shit! I put a hand on her shoulder and asked if she was ok and she

went into a full blown panic attack. I watched, helpless, as Emmett came to help her.

"Baby girl? Bells! You ok?" She wasn't responding. He told someone to call 911 and asked her if she had taken her meds and told me to "stay the fuck away." As he carried her away she blacked out.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" I yelled, pacing the small waiting room of the Forks ER. Emmett, the bartending brother to be was in the room with her and not telling me a damn thing. Not that I really blamed him, I mean I did freak out his baby sister; my imprint. I would fuck up within two minutes of meeting my girl. The receptionist is looking at me like I'm crazy, of course I'm sure that's how I look pulling my hair out by the root, when finally the hulking brother-to-be comes out.

"The only reason I'm considering to let you see her is because she say you didn't do anything. But listen here asshole," he grabbed my shirt roughly and it was all I could do to keep down the growl. "If anything happens to baby bell I will blame you and you will answer to me. Got it?"

I gave a sharp nod of understanding. Not like this guy could do much to me but if I ever did hurt doe eyes, I'd let him kill me.

As I walked down the hall toward her room I could hear her steady heartbeat and let out a sigh of relief. Thank fucking god! There she was, lying in bed looking up at me with her round doe eyes.

"Hey." Her throat was hoarse but she gave me a small smile.

"Hey. So um," I cleared my throat. "How are you?

"I'll be fine. You didn't have to come to the hospital you know. It wasn't your fault. Also I want to apologize for Em; he can be a bit over protective."

"It's fine doe eyes. And yes I did have to come I was worried."

That earned me a blindingly bright smile. "Doe eyes?" she asked shyly.

"I don't know your name." I hoped she would tell me.

"Bella."

"Bella." I said tasting her name on my tongue. "I'm Paul.'

"Nice to meet you Paul"

"Nice to meet you Bella. How long are you in here for?"

"Hopefully not long. I hate hospitals."

"Oh now Bella, this could be you second home for how often you're here." Said a voice behind me. A tall blond man in a white lab coat, the doctor I presumed, walked in smiling.

"Carlisle! I'm not here that much."

"You know the staff by first name?" I asked raising my eyebrow at her.

"Not all the staff, besides I live with Carlisle."

I noticed she doesn't call him dad, I filed that away for later.

I turned toward the doctor.

"Nice to meet you Dr…." I trailed off looking for a name.

"Cullen. But please call me Carlisle. And you are?"

"Oh sorry," said Bella. "Carlisle this is Paul."

"Nice to meet you Paul." Carlisle said shaking my hand. "So Bella, you'll be out of here by tomorrow morning." She groaned a little at that and the noise went straight to my dick. "It's the soonest they will let you out, I tried for sooner."

"Thanks Carlisle I know you did, it's just…you know."

"Yes I understand. But you can have one person with you that's all I could pull."

"Thank you "she said again, giving him a hug.

"Welcome bells. I'll always take care of you." As he was leaving he shouted over his shoulder for her to get some rest and that Emmett had to leave for a "Rose emergency." Whatever the hell that was.

"You don't have to stay you know." She nudged me with her elbow.

"Well I'm not leaving you alone. Besides I want to stay, you rest I'll be right here" I'll always be here. I added in my mind and watched doe eyes drift off to sleep.

A/N: I will definitely try to work faster this time.

Happy reviewing. :)
