"Hello I'm Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella." I tell this to all of my patients.

I lived in Phoenix my whole life, I'm a therapist and I work with adults dealing with depression and eating disorders. Sometimes I work with kids, but my best buddy works with them.

Jasper Hale! I met him in high school in cooking class; I was paired up with him. I basically did all the work because anything he touched burned. We entered to the same college and both got degrees in Psychology. He loves working with kids; whenever they blew a tantrum he always found a way to calm them down.

My sister Rosalie and I moved in with him in a 3 bedroom apartment, but she moved out right after getting married to Emmett her high school boyfriend. They moved to Washington in a small town which name I forgot.

"Ms. Swan." My secretary Jessica called.

"Yeah?"

"You have a call on line 2." Line 2 hmmm… She must be on the phone…. AGAIN!

I grabbed the phone and pressed line 2.

"Hello I'm Isabella Swan how may I help you today?"
"Hello I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen." He greeted back, his voice was a smooth whisper.

"How may I help you Dr. Cullen?"

"Please I am in need of your services; I've heard you are the best."

"Excuse me" I'm sure that there are other therapists that are better.

"Ms. Swan I've heard about your therapy sessions and I was hoping you could help me." He whispered almost pleading.

"Umm, sure do you want to schedule for an appointment?" I asked.

"Well you see this is not for me." He seemed embarrassed.

"Oh, well may I ask then for whom?"

"My son Edward" He sighed "… We feel like we lost him emotionally."

Edward… Edward… Why do I feel like I already know him?

"Depression" I muttered under my breath.

"Yes, with me being a doctor I already tried to talk to him, but he wouldn't budge and then we tried others, but he would blow them off… I've even prescribed anti- depressants, please Ms. Swan can you help him." He pleaded.

"If he had other therapists and he blew them off how do you know he won't do the same with me?" I remember one patient of mine flipped me the bird and told me to suck myself and left, I shivered at that.

"Trust me Ms. Swan I'm sure he'll stay with you." He smirked.

Huh… I looked in my computer to see any free days I had to talk to Dr. Cullen.

"Dr. I'm sorry, but…" He cut me off.

"Please Ms. Swan… It's been years." He whispered pained.

"How many years exactly?"

I heard him chuckle then sigh "A lot."

"Well Dr. Cullen the only thing I could do is seeing you today."

"That'll be perfect, what time?" I looked at the time now doubting he would make it, 4:30…

"How about before 7?"

"Perfect, Thank you Ms. Swan." He said.

"No problem Mr. Cullen, I'll see you later." Then I hung up. Gosh I hope he doesn't make it.

I took off my high heels, leaned back on my chair and rubbed my temples. Relax…Relax… Edward ….

"YO! YO! YO! YO! YO!" Rang my phone. How much I hated the ring tone, but it was Jaspers soo…

"Hey" I answered.

"Belly Jelly!" Laughed Jasper.

"Huh." I replied looking for my container that had my lunch inside.

"It's like 5 homie! When are you coming?" He whined. What A baby.

"Jazz.." he interrupted me by saying food, I heard the phone drop and the pizza tell him his total. Minutes later.

"Bella so you coming?" he muttered seeming to have a huge bite of pizza in his mouth.

I giggled then sighed. "Sorry Jazz… I'm going to be late."

Usually I would be home by 5 or 5:30, but because of my last new patient…

"Aww! Fine bye bells." He sighed then hung up.

It was 6:00 and I was about to go to the kitchen across my office when my phone rang.

"Yeah" I yawned.

"Ughh, Ms. Swan … D-Dr.C-C-Cul-len is h-h-here." Jessica stuttered.

"Let him in." I put my food away and my high heels on.

A tall man with blond hair came in. He was pale, he looked like if he was in his mid 20's, when he smiled it took my breath away Oh my.

Now I see why Jessica was stuttering.

"Hello Ms. Swan." I shook my head and stood up; even with my high heels he was taller than me.

"Hello Dr. Cullen, take a seat please." We both sat down and began.

"Ms. Swan my son Edward." He sighed closing his eyes.

"Do you know what could have brought this on?" I started to type down on my computer information about him.

"Lost love." He whispered. I stopped and looked at him. "I know your pain Edward" I thought.

"I'm sorry to hear that, how is his behavior?" I asked.

"He doesn't talk nor smile. He's always locked in his room." He put his head in his hands.

"Does he eat?"He looked up and I swear I saw a small smile spread across, but he hid it right away.

"Sometimes."

"What was the relationship with his lost love?"

"Edward was going to propose to her."

Edward, Edward, Edward. I felt a pain in my heart and suddenly tears were building up. I pushed them back. Why is this affecting me so much and why the hell des that name seem so damn familiar.

"Oh" was all I could say.

"Yes, so please Ms. Swan could you help him." He pleaded looking me straight in the eyes.

HOLY COW! His eyes are golden.

I closed my eyes, crossed my legs and leaned back to my chair.

Come on Bella; just say "yes" you know you want to! His name is familiar and his lost of love is affecting you, so don't make him wait and just say…

"Yes Mr. Cullen." I smiled opening my eyes, he smiled back.

"Thank you Ms. Swan this means the world to my family and I" We both stood up and shook hand.

SHIT! His hands are cold. "Please call me Bella now since we're going to be seeing each other a lot."

"Call me Carlisle." I nodded and he left. Edward, Edward, Edward, Edward. Ugh!!!!
