When I woke up, for once a long long time, there was a smell of cooking breakfast. I quickly got dressed and headed outside to the kitchen. I could tell Bella was upset when she turned to put the eggs on the plate and her face was red. She was sniffing a bit too and I could help but ask.

"Hey, what happened?" I asked her, she looked shocked because she probably didn't hear me enter. Her eyes were red but there weren't any tears anymore. She passed me a plate and I thanked her. "You really didn't have to make breakfast," I reminded her, she nodded and put the pan back into the sink, I would remember to wash it later. "Sit with me please," I told her, she looked at me eyes sad and she brought her plate over and sat down as well.

"The police station called, they said I needed to hire a lawyer because Jacob was accusing me of false accusations," She told me, I was angry, even after she finally got away he was going to bother her. "I don't have the money Edward, he is going to take everything I worked for," She told me, I didn't know what to say, obviously I could pay for somethings for her until she got back on her feet but that wasn't what she wanted. "If I refuse to testify against him, I can just file for divorce but nothing will happen to him and he will probably ask for all of the money and the house."

"Bella it is really up to you but you are more than welcome to just stay here, it really is no problem," I tried to tell her, I knew it wouldn't help much. "What about Ben?" I asked her, she looked at me her eyes like that of a sad puppy.

"I don't know," She teared up again. "I think I just have to file for divorce, I can't go through with the court case it will be too much," She told me, I was glad she was discussing this with me.

"My sister's boyfriend, he is a lawyer. If it is only a divorce case he should be able to help you," I told her, I mean Jasper was a lawyer for a company but he has helped me with things before at the hospital. "I'll ask him for you, don't worry Bella," She nodded, I heard the door creak open and Ben was there at the door.

"Mommy, why are you crying?" He asked her, she smiled at him and opened her arms for him to come and he did. He stole a bit of her eggs after he kissed her on the cheek. "Are you going to work Mom?" Ben asked her, that reminded me of where she worked. She really wasn't very safe there and my despise for strip club probably didn't help.

"Please don't go Bella," I begged her, she looked at me confused.

"I have to make money some way," She reminded me, Alice then popped into my mind.

"My sister is opening a store soon, she could use some help getting it set up and running. Maybe you could work for her," I could see her reluctance. "I promise she would love the help, she would love to meet you," None of that was a lie Alice was a super friendly person and has wanted to meet Bella for awhile. Bella sighed but nodded. I was so happy she agreed.

"When are you leaving?" She asked me now, I checked the clock. It was only 8 now and I start today at 9.

"Half an hour," She nodded before checking the fridge again.

"You really need more food Edward," She smiled at me, I was happy she was joking around with me. "Should I go today for you?"

"That would be great and I really do, boy by himself doesn't remember to buy food," I chuckled back, she smiled but just shook her headed at me. Ben smiled really big then.

"Does that mean we can buy pop tarts Mom?" He asked super excited, Bella looked at me then. I smiled at Ben and laughed.

"Why don't you go with your mom and pick out somethings you want as well? As long as your mom allows it," I smiled at him, he looked at his mom and Bella couldn't help but smile. I finished my eggs thanking Bella once again before washing up the plates and pans before getting my bag of papers for work. Before I left I handed Bella some money for food. "Please buy whatever you want," It was way more than she would need for food but I gave it to her anyway. I left then and headed to work.

The first thing I heard when I got in was Jessica telling me Elisabeth refused her inhaler meds earlier and no one could talk to her. I headed towards her room and this time she was there. She had music playing out loud and was just sitting there staring at the wall of her room.

"Would you like something Dr. Cullen?" She asked me then, I was standing in the doorway of her room. She didn't look particularly angry, almost sad if I were to guess. The sounds of Ed Sheeran played from her phone, Don't if I was correct with my song knowledge.

"Ed Sheeran right?" I said as I walked in and sat on the chair closest to the door, she looked at me observing what I was doing. She nodded slowly obviously confused at what I was doing. The chorus of the song came up then. "Don't fuck with my love, that heart is so cold," I sang along to the 24 years olds song. Bella was still looking at me but I could see the whispers of a smile on her face. "I'm not that old I know Don't," I told her, she rolled her eyes at that playfully.

"Didn't you come here for a reason?" She asked again, I sighed, I knew she was leading me to a trap.

"Meds," I said simply, she nodded before zoning out and looked at the wall again mouthing the words to the end of the song. "You have to take them, you know this,"

"Yeah, yeah so I can live and shit. I know," I knew she was doing this all for attention but I could entertain the lonely teenager for now.

"I get your situation Elisabeth, it's hard," I tried to tell her, she shook her head.

"I'm a mess right now, inside out. Searching for a sweet surrender but this is not the end. I can't work it out, out. Going through the motions, going through us." She sang out, her voice echoing along the small room. I assume she was both singing and answering me. I could play this game too.

"All my hopes, all of my words are all over written on the signs," I paused for awhile before continuing. "See the flame behind my eyes, burns so bright," She cocked her head at me, the song produced the best response on her side then.

"Easy, baby, maybe, I'm alive," She smiled at the irony of the song.

"Put your faith," I trailed off then. It still worked but I knew she knew the next part. "And no, you didn't mess up this time," I said, she couldn't help but laughed at our antics with the song. I was impressed as well.

"Not to shabby Dr. Cullen," I smiled back at the younger girl before tossing her inhaler to her.

(Second half, sorry I am half-way through the next chapter!)

After a long day, I headed back home. I could hear Bella playing a song from the sitting room. When I entered the room, she stopped the music.

"Don't stop on my account," I said loud enough for her to hear, She stuck her head around the corner as I headed to meet her.

"You don't mind?" She asked me, I shook my head. She turned it on a little lower this time, I recognised this song as well. The All-American Rejects's song. Bella hummed along as she sat to read once again. I grabbed a soda and sat on the couch with my computer. The song saying Dirty little secret reminded me a lot of Bella. Maybe she did the same with her songs, relating them to her. Or maybe I was reading to much into it. I checked the fridge to see what Bella bought for us. I laughed at the box of pop tarts on the desk realising Ben really got his way with his mother. There was the extra change from the shopping on the table. "Did you ask your sister about the job?" Bella asked me, I'm surprised she even remembered that.

"Yeah she wanted to know if all of us would meet her for lunch tomorrow? She wants to meet Ben, Alice loves kids," I told her, Bella nodded. Just then Ben walked into the room.

"What are you doing Ben? You should be asleep," Bella told him off lovely, he dragged his feet over to her.

"I can't sleep momma," The boy told her, she patted the couch next to her and he sat next to her while she was reading her book. Now I could see the resemblance, the light brown hair of the both of them, the round eyes, Bella's eyes just lighter than Ben's. Ben snuggled closer to his mother and Bella allowed it, she was a great mother.

"How was the hospital?" Bella asked me, she was sweet to ask that.

"The teenagers are rebellious as always," I replied to her simply.

"Isn't it hard?" She asked me then, I looked at her, confused by the change of conversation. "Watching those kids, some of them dying," I got this question a lot, not even so much by other people but by myself.

"Of course it is. I just have to remember I should saving more people than die. Well hopefully," The apartment mood suddenly dropped. "There's a new girl, Elisabeth. It is hard to get through to her. She is here alone she was going to come later when her family were going to relocate her but she had to come earlier for treatment,"

"What does she do?"

"Ignore the nurses, postponed her own medicine. She has Cystic fibrosis, the outcome could be bad if she doesn't find lungs," I told Bella, the transplant list is hard for teenagers but worse for adults, she is lucky she is young enough to be bumped up the list. With Ben softly snoring next to I thought of an idea. "Why don't you come to see her? She's lonely, I'll ask her if she wants to meet you," Bella smiled at me.

"After lunch with your sister then,"
