"Hello, you must be Mr. Swan's daughter. My name is Dr. Cullen." I said to the young woman and what I assumed to be her boyfriend. She was a very beautiful young woman.
"H…Hi I'm B…B…Bella," she stuttered. She must have been nervous, awaiting the news about her father.
"And I'm Jacob Black," the young man next to her said, introducing himself and stretching out his hand to shake mine.
He had a firm grip and was quite tall, not quite as tall as me but he looked tall for his age. I assumed he was younger than the woman with him because he still had that roundness to his face. "It's nice to meet you," I said to the two, "but I'm sorry visiting hours are nearly over and I'm afraid you will have to leave in," I checked my watched then, "just under 5 minutes."
"That's fine doctor," Charlie spoke for the first time since the two had walked into the room, "Bella was just bringing me a nice home-cooked meal, I'm not really a big fan of hospital food."
"That's fine Mr. Swan, I'll leave you guys to it then. Have a nice evening," I said to the young woman and her partner.

I can't believe I just stuttered in front of my dad and Jacob. They must think I'm a loon or something, but that doctor was asking for it. His green eyes piercing into mine was more than enough to have me wrapped around his little finger - if you know what I mean.
"Are you ok?" I heard Jacob ask me once the doctor was out of the room. "Your legs kind of gave in on you when that dude turned around… Oh! Bella, Bella, Bella…" He said sarcastically as I blushed a bright red, the blood rushing to my face.
Jacob knew me inside and out and he knew exactly what had happened.
"Shut up Jacob," I said as I slapped his arm, and I heard him chuckle.
After leaving the hospital Jacob came back to my house and watched my do my homework with the biggest smirk on his face, and he knew exactly why he was doing it.
"Jacob, can you please wipe that stupid smirk off of your face before I slap it off?" I said to him throwing my pen and books to the floor, hoping it would let him get it out of his system whilst no-one was around to hear him.
"I can't help but smile at a beautiful girl. Just like you can't help but smile at a hot guy, or should I say nearly faint… Isn't that right Bells?" Then the house was ringing with his boisterous laughter and I couldn't help but laugh with him.
Wait, did he just call me beautiful. The previous hours came rushing back to me, where I was going to confess my love for him. The thing is, I really like him but afraid of his response, like does he like me back? Or am I just his sister? Because between Jacob and I we have this sibling relationship that I can't really explain.
Jacob's voice bought me back to reality.
"Bell's?" he called, but I was still shocked.
"Bella, are you alright" Jacob's concerned voice asked.
Slowly my mind was starting to unfreeze, as my eyes caught Jacob standing up and walking – to slowly for my liking – towards me.
Has my mind unfroze, my body didn't want to respond. Jacob gently took my shoulders and shook me. As he worked out that didn't work, so he started waving his hand in front of my face, until I finally caught on that it had been half an hour since Jacob and I last spoke.
"I'm fine Jake" I finally said.
"Bell's you look kind of shaken up, are you sure your alright? Did I say something?" He asked worriedly.
If only he knew what he said kind of pleased me.
"No Jake, you did nothing wrong, just a lot on my mind you know?" I replied the best I could. Has you may already know but im a terrible liar, everyone can see right through me.
"Oh a lot on your mind huh?" Jacob asked sarcastically.
"Yes, Jake you know, my dad, work and other stuff" I replied trying to ignore the smirk that spread across his face. Why was he smirking?
"So is there a certain Dr. Cullen on your mind Bella? Jacob asked playfully.
Well now that he mentioned Dr. Cullen I couldn't help but wonder why I stuttered and why my knees gave way. It's not like he dazzled me. Oh, but those green eyes, how they sparkled. The feeling he gave me, when he walked in was, well I don't know, I've never felt this feeling before. Has I broke out of my thoughts I answered Jacob.
"No Jake, a certain Dr. Cullen is not on my mind" I replied icily.
Jake put his hands up in surrender and I immediately calmed down. I knew from this moment that I had to tell Jake how I felt before it was too late. I had to tell him. It was so close of losing Charlie today, that Jake would be all I had left.
The way Jake comforted me, made me trust him way more. And guess what I loved him for it. The way he made me feel, when he talked to me was so unreal.
But the feeling for Dr. Cullen was so different like something was there and all we had to do was to touch each other and we would be able to feel it.
This was going to be one long night. I am so confused.
