Chapter 3: Jacob

Well after that cup of tea, I decided to go out and sort everything that needed to be done with moving back here. Meaning checking out the hospital to see if my placement has got throw all good, that there was no problem with the paper work and to see when I start and who I am shadowing.

Meet the head of medicine at my new college. If we even got anything done with all those interview calls. Professor Cameron(David), he loves to chat, I've known him all my life and these past few months, he has been such an amazing person. He's the one who's helped me get a placement at the hospital, sorted out all my paperwork (I only had to sign them) and truly helping me get settled in for the new term to begin in a few weeks. All I've got to do now is find a place to stay…

Anywho's, I've just gotten to the hospital. If you're wondering how, well Charlie said I could borrow Izzy's car, I do not trust this piece of junk. It make some funny noises… how Izzy loves this car, I do not know.

Making my way in, I spot the information desk at the side with a nurse behind it.

" Excuse me. I'm Isabeau Williams, I'm suppose to be starting here for a placement to shadow a doctor?" She looked at me for a moment before going through the diary on the table.

"Ahh here you are. If you just go down this hall and take a left. You'll find an office at the end" she politely told me. Thanking her I head off in the direction she told me.

Knocking on the door, I hear someone to to tell me to come in. Walking through I come in front of an older gentleman, in his 60s, he has a kind face with glasses covering his brown eyes, his hair is grey and he has clean shaven face. Wearing the usual white doctors coat.

"Hello, may I help you?" He asked looking up from his mountains of paper work.

"Hi, I'm Isabeau Willia-" he cuts me off before I can finish.

"Ohh! Miss Williams, you have come a lot earlier than I was expecting you" he smiled widely at me. "David has told me a lot about you, I'm quite excited for you to join my team of doctors" huh, I wonder what uncle Cameron has told him. "I'm sure you will have a permanent place after you have finished all your studies. Just reading all your paperwork and notes from your last doctor you were shadowing. You will fit in great." He praised me.

Smiling gently towards him, I wasn't expecting this. I thought I had to do an interview with him as well.

"So everything is there? There is nothing that I am missing?" I tentatively asked, I was sure I would forget something with all the stress.

"Oh no, everything is here. You know David, he would of rang you if there was. Well let's get everything sorted, shall we?" Pulling out some paper work. "If you could just read through these and sight them. They are just documents to say you are a junior doctor and that you are shadowing and taking some leads for the odd case, if your doctor thinks you are up to it. You'll be here for a year, then it's up to you if you want to stay or move on. Does that sound okay to you" wow. That's brilliant, more than I was expecting.

"That sounds brilliant sir. I didn't expect any of that. I thought it was just going to be a few months of shadowing, and then asking me what I would do and if I can diagnose them… not take a lead" I must of looked shocked because he chuckled at my expression.

"Well David has sold you well and looking at what you have done in England. I'm sure we can trust you on some of the smaller cases." Gently smiling "Problem is I don't know which doctor to give you too?" He started frowning here "You see I was going to give you to Dr Riley. He is one that likes teaching the most. But there is also Dr Cullen. I just got a call yesterday to say he is coming back and he's one of the best, you could learn so much from him." He was lost on what to do.

"Um, would it be alright if I choose who I wanted to shadow" I got an expecting look, as though he knew who I was going to choose. But nodding for me to continue "could I shadow Dr Riley please?"

He looked so shocked when I said Riley "Can I ask why you have chosen him? Most would choose Dr Cullen, just for looks alone" he laughed

Humming to myself, I try to think how to explain this in the nicest way possible. And I have a lot of rude things I could say about his family, to be honest.

"His youngest son was dating my cousin, his daughter was her best friend. They all treated her like family. Loved her like family. And they just left without saying anything. Even got rid of every little thing they gave her, to make it look like they didn't exists. That she never met them in the first place" I was getting worked up at the moment "His son. His son! left her in the middle of the woods! To say goodbye, we never liked you and forget about us! How can someone do that? How can he lets his family do that? It broke my baby cousin, she was a mess for months. It's one of the reasons I came back" I mumbled off

"I see.." he looked straight at me, there was concern and understand look in his eyes "You don't want to be next to him because you might lash out?" Nodding at this, hoping it wouldn't effect my placement here. "It's amazing how mature you are with this, I don't think I could be, if that happened to my family member… but yes, it would be fine for you to work under Dr Riley, there just might be some days you have to work with Dr Cullen. Would that be okay?"

I thought about it for a split second. "Yes. It should be fine. I should hopefully get this matter under hand and should be civil enough to work with him." I smiled softly.

"Good. I do hope you will work well with him. He has so much knowledge! More than me and he's younger. I just want you to get a fraction of that knowledge" He smiled gently before his eyes got big "Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I am Micheal Scott. I'm the head here and if there is any problems, my office is always an open door. So just come down and we can chat"

Well that had settled my nerves, I was really worried I wouldn't be getting a placement after talking about Dr Cullen. Nodding my head I got on with reading theses documents. Oh this is going to take some time.

Finally finished after nearly two hours of solid reading and signing, I found out I start in two weeks, but I meet Dr Riley next week to get more paper work from him, and to just get to know him a little bit as I'll be following him around like a lost puppy.

I text Charlie to say I'm heading off to Seattle to check out the college. It takes 3 and half hours to get there, I'm so glad I only have to do this one day a week. Just to say how the shadowing is going and to learn a bit more about the hospital atmosphere and new ways to do something.

Making my way there, I hope that I am not going to break down. (Let's see how long it takes for my car to get here.) Cause I sure as hell don't trust this thing. How old is this car!?

Pulling up to the college and finding a space to park, I make my way to the head office of medicine. Professor Cameron already knows I am coming as I phoned ahead this morning.

Knocking gently on the door I hear a gruff come in. Snorting, I walk in to see him pulling his hair as he marks papers.

"Students still making no sense on how they got in?" I laughed at the disgusted look I got.

"You wouldn't believe some of the answers they write down, it's bloody amazing!" See professor David Cameron was my dads best mate and he use to work in my uni in England, was my first teacher at uni, at the tender age of 16. I was one of those people that got a bit lucky with their studies. There was just something about it that just clicked for me. Like, I've done it all before, especially medicine.

"Why couldn't I have a classroom full of minnie uses! Just less gobby"

"Hey! I'm not gobby! Maybe just a little bit snarky but not gobby!" How could he say that! I was an angel in his class. He was an awesome teacher, put something practical to every lesson, even if it didn't fit. But it made you remember it and that's the point.

Chuckling "I'm just messing with you kiddo, you where my best and favourite student. Specially because you made me look good. 17 in my class and beating all the 21 year olds. Yes, it made me look like a brilliant teacher." Standing up from his desk and walking over to me "Now hey, where's my hug? I haven't seen you in 4 and a half years! I don't count video calls" jumping up I give him a big hug. He has always acted protective over me, like a crazy uncle. Well I did get told to call him my uncle. There's lots of photos of him holding child me. But also I think he got more protective after my parents died. Plus it didn't help when I was getting some funny looks from the older students.

"It's good to see you professor!" I chirped.

"How many times do I have to tell you to call me David?" Moaning, holding me at arms length, giving me his puppy eyes.

"Natasha told me it annoys you" smirking, I looked him straight in his dark blue eyes, puppy eyes never get me and his are good.

"Ugh you two are always teaming up against me! What have I ever done to the two of you?" Is he wailing in despair? He is!

"You are just really easy to pick on. Oh wait until Maisy is older! She'll end up picking on you too" laughing at his distraught expression.

"No! Never, she'll be daddy's little girl I'll tell yah! She'll be teaming up with me against you two!" Shouting proudly. I imagine him doing a fist pump in the air to finish of that sentence.

Now looking at me with a more gentle expression "So tell me how did the hospital visit go?"

It took me about 15 minutes to explain all that happened there. He just seemed to be staring at me for the moment.

"So the Cullen's are coming back into town…" nodding I continue.

"I don't know how to deal with it. I don't know them, but what they have done to Izzy, I just want to scream and shout at them" clenching my fist. "Just who am I to say anything to them, that's uncle Charlie place. All I should be able to really do is give them dirty looks and ignore them"

"Hey, you're family. You should be able to say what you like. Just don't hurt Bella with what you say, because in the end it could make you the bad person and then make it out like the Cullen's family never did anything. So just be careful" sighing, I nod my head in agreement.

Finishing up our chat because it's around 4 and I need to get back home before it's too late. I get given a list of books I need to get and a few properties that David has found for me. That I can go take a look around this week. Saying my goodbyes and that I'll text him when I get home. I set off.

Pulling up to Charlie's house I noticed a motorbike parked by the cruiser. Who's here?

Making my way in, I hear Charlie talking to someone. "I'm home!" I shout just to get their attention, as they sound as though they were in a heated discussion.

"Bow! How did your day go?" I hear Charlie call back from the kitchen. Is he always in there? Making my way over.

"Ugh, I'm so tired. I'm jet lagged and grumpy." I moaned " my eyes hurt! There was so much paperwork!" Once in the kitchen I noticed a guy who looks a bit younger than me, but he is massive to my 5'4 ¾. He looks about 6'5 maybe taller. He must of eaten his veg and drank his milk. He had a darker skin tone with black hair and dark brown eyes. He is handsome, just not my type. He's too buff.. I like slender.

"Oh Bow, this is Jacob" what? The tiny kid that use to follow me around like a lost puppy is this hulk?

"You're lying. This is not the kid that use to attach himself to me leg, to go wherever I go. The kid I classed as my lost puppy" I just stared at him hard. Ohh is he blushing, I think I see a blush.

"It's the same kid. He's just shot up like a bean stalk. I'm sure he was only around 5'10 a few months back?" Charlie joined in with the staring.

"Can you stop staring! It's creeping me out!" Jacob shouted at us, trying to cover his face.

"Sorry Jay, I'm just really shocked. Last time I saw you, I could pick you up and swing you around. It now looks like you can do that to me" he moved forward "No! That doesn't mean you can!" At my protest they both start laughing.

"Well, I should be off my dads probably worrying" Jay said once he calmed down. "I'll pop over tomorrow morning, to finish of talking. It's getting late and I'm sure you want to catch up with beauty" ugh I hate that nickname. Just because I had my nose stuck in a book all the odd time and have the long dull brown hair and Hazel eyes. It also doesn't help that the end of my name was just missing two letters to make it that. It was his dads fault too, always joking, saying I would fall for a beast. Meaning one of the Quileuets boys I use to alway hand around with when I was younger. Like I'd go for a dog, they smell.

Aiming a hit at Jay, he dodges out of the way laughing as he runs for the door.

"I'll get you next time you brat!" I shouted after him. It looks like I would break my hand if I do though. Turning back round to Charlie "Can you believe him! The cheek" shaking his head at me smiling.

"He has gotten cheekier as the years go by. But look at that face. He's a puppy" Charlie always had a soft spot for Jacob. I think him and Billy were betting to see if Jay and Izzy would end up together.

"How do you feel about take out? I can't be bothered to cook and you look to tired to cook."

"Yeah that sounds good. Pizza?" He nods.

"The usual?"

"Of course." We have a little ritual me and my uncle, when it comes to take out pizza. He always gets a meat feast, myself a special (everything on it) a few bags of fries, a bottle of Pepsi and two chocolate fudge cakes.

After he finished making the call, he left to go get washed up before dinner.

Having nothing better to do, I have a good look around the place. It really hasn't changed at all. Still the yellow kitchen cabinets, photos of him and Renée up. It was quite upsetting. He's still stuck in that time of his life…

I jumped out of my skin when the phone suddenly started to ring. I was fully lost in thought there. Rushing over to pick it up, I use my phone voice.

"Hello, Swan residents. Who may I ask is calling?"

"Bow?"

"Izzy?"

End of chapter 3

A lot longer than the other two chapters... but I hope it was okay and flowed together well.
