After that amazing weekend away from reality,I hadn't seen Edward or Luke or Hal or Chris not even Roger, I had reverted back to my normal life and though it did bother me sometimes I had successfully managed to push Edward out of my mind, I'd been able to do this because....1.I haven't seen him in two weeks  2. My sister shut up about him...now all she does is smile creepily..3. I had occupied myself completely with my patients and managed to snuff out any rememberences of him.  Although I still was pretty annoyed that he didn't even call, I'd decieded to move in with my life and convinced myself it was easy doing so. Part of me hoped he and I would never meet again so that I could never revert back to old ways but another part ,well.....

       I'd come back to my perfectly normal independent,practical and boring self..don't get me wrong, I loved my work as a nerve specialist and seeing patients everyday helped me stay distracted. That day I had been in the hospital for seventy two hours working non stop and I was feeling very claustrophobic, Martha ,the head nurse noticed, she bustled me out of the hospital claiming I was banished for the day. I liked the caring woman and took her offer gratefully. Still in my white coat I stepped out into the parking lot and breathed the fresh air.As I was passing a car a loud horn made me jump,the window rolled down and Edward sat inside "get in quick!"he exclaimed, without thinking about it I did as I was told "what the heck are you doing??" I hissed confusedly, he raised an eyebrow at me "its nice to see you too Jen" he said sarcastically , I smiled "how'd you know where I worked?" "Meg" he replied shortly.

"I've been coming back here at around this time for the past three days!" Edward exclaimed, I looked down "I've been working for the last three days" I answered ,he gaped at me then started the car and soon we were driving through the city.

      We stopped outside a bakery and he asked me if I wanted to go in, on seeing my nod we entered. We couldn't sit next to a window because a fan might see him so we sat a light corner a little away from the window. "Would you like some coffee?" he asked I shook my head and seeing his questioning glance I said"I've never drunk any sort of coffee or tea in my life and I don't really want to start," he laughed "Jen you are a mystery!" I grinned. I ordered a hot chocolate for myself and admired the interior of the shop. Victoria style ,old fashioned but strangely beautiful ,a real London shop. Edward and I sat opposite each other and talked about various things, I found out that the reason he couldn't call was because someone had leaked all the boys phone numbers to the media causing them to have to change it and toss their old connections. I have to admit I felt very relieved that the reason he didn't call was not because he wanted to get me out of his life and despite my better judgement I was happy that we met again.

      "So you work as a doctor huh?" I nodded,he seemed to consider it for a moment then looked at me, I realised I was still wearing my white coat and proceeded to quickly take it off, Edward continued to look at me and I ended up glaring at him to which he reacted by concentrating on his hot chocolate.  "Why won't we drive around for a bit? Since you've been working three days straight it'll help you relax." Edward said suddenly. All my instincts were telling me to politely refuse his offer and walk away,  we were not supposed to get close we were supposed to forget each other existed! my brain hissed at me but my heart apparently controlled my mouth..

      Ten minutes later I was back in his car , now a little fact about me is that I get easily car sick when its a non bumpy an air conditioned ride, so after just a few minutes I ended up with my head between my legs "something wrong?" Edward asked quickly "I'm sorry Ed but could we please open the windows?" I begged ,Ed quickly rolled down our windows and I immediately started feeling better "you okay?" I nodded "I'm so sorry ,I get car sick when he ride isn't bumpy or the windows aren't down," Ed started laughing "you really are unique! Most girls hate when the windows are down ,their hair gets messy. And bumpy rides make them puke," I smiles , most normal girls are like me but very few normal girls have ever stepped into this car! I voiced my thoughts and he grinned mischeviously.

        After a while we stopped "want to get something to eat?" He asked gesturing at the Mac Donalds in front of us ,my eyes literally lit up..I haven't been in a Mac Donalds in ages Ed smirked and drove us through ,"so what do you want?" He asked as we waited "happy meal...?" I said ,feeling embarrassed like a kid , "what are you five?" He said rolling his eyes. Two minutes later we were sitting in his car happily munching through two enormous happy meals. 'You need to treat me after this" he said suddenly I looked up at him "well what do you want me to do?"

"Weeeeell" he said dragging the word "take me somewhere or tell me something personal"

"Personal...?" I asked unsuredly , no one ever asked me to do things like that even when I wanted them to I need to do something really cool I thought desperately . Personal...personal what did I have that was personal? If it was to be a personal place I would have found it during my last years in med school ,because ever since then I've been way too busy for anything else...wait! There is that place! But I wonder if it still exists even...never mind! Now's as good as anytime to find out! I smiled at Edward "Actually....."

                                                           *******************************

    We were driving down  a rather small lane that was running against a river, I finally saw that place but I knew that stopping in front of it was a bad idea because if one person stops in front of it more people get curious and the beauty of that place will be trampled upon. "Back up!" I told Edward he did as he was told and when we were a significant distance away o go him to stop. We got out of the car and I led the way at the entrance I knew that it was a thicket,I had gone here many times so I knew exactly where to step but Edward..."take my hand and watch your eyes,be careful and just follow me," I said holding out my hand he placed his in mine and again I felt his warmth,and my heart did a few somersaults in my chest, his hand alone was strong ..so strong that it immediately made me feel safe, I walked in through the thicket with him closely following me after a few moments the thicket cleared and opened up to the place I was so familiar with....

Edward's P.O.V
      So beautiful!! I thought as I gaped at my surroundings ,it was like a hidden world..I wasn't even sure I was in England anymore! The grass was a bit overgrown and there were wild purple and blue flowers, a lake stood in the front with pure blue water, a few metres away there was a small wooden hut. I looked at Jen's hand holding mine and I couldn't believe how right it felt...how it made me feel , I've never felt this way about any girl after just a few days.I enjoyed being with her so much and I loved seeing her laugh. I liked the child-like side to her and the mature one too, I knew she was a hardworker  and I respected her for it, when I'd asked her to show me something personal I'd never even thought about her taking me to such a place, after so much stress from the family...and my father specially it felt good to be out here, ever since I met Jen,the poison in my life seemed to be sucked out and the stress seemed to be removed.She really was a very good friend.

        "When I was in the middle of med school,my first boyfriend broke up with me...said he was bored,said he was fed up of me...the worst part was that I didn't feel too much sadness about it, that got me feeling like a heartless person..a normal girl would cry her eyes out and here I was..perfectly fine ,I started to think I was a horrible person and I started to hate myself...I got my first 'F' that year and I was so upset that night I just drove and drove...I didn't want to go home..eventually I ended up here and I crashed my car into the thicket ,when I decided to go exploring I ended up in this beautiful place...I even built that little wooden hut there" Jen said gesturing to the wooden house. What kind of women can build a house?! And what was that idiot thinking breaking up with her so cruelly?!  "This place sucked the poison out of my life" she said "I came here whenever I wanted to cry," I looked at her and squeezed her hand, she immediately took it out of mine and I let go surprised at how reluctant I was "Ed you can burrow this place whenever you like...I thought you looked like there was a lot of poison in your life too the other night,". How did she know so much about me? She didn't ..no one did..it was just random guess work.....

                 Jen took me inside the hut and we looked around a little before going out and sitting on the grass,we watched the sunset that day...the water turned orange. Jen looks beautiful I couldn't help thinking that whenever I saw her..she was very attractive specially under the last rays of the sun....I realised what I was thinking and quickly focused my thoughts elsewhere..she was just a fan!! I yelled at myself inwardly, remember Kate! I did just that and after a few hours of sitting next to Jen and talking and laughing, I was feeling so much better ...I was feeling like all my troubles had dissapeared .Jen's smile and laugh made me feel so happy,and weirdly I felt clear inside. Jen glanced at her watch and exclaimed, I looked at mine and shared her reaction then we both started laughing I got up first and gave her my hand I pulled her up a little to strongly she came tumbling towards me and suddenly we were inches apart so close..our eyes met and we were unable to look away I felt her heartbeat fast and I felt my own escalate, I remembered the time in the car and in the clearing...we'd gone through this before, I'd thought of kissing her...then I realised how stupid I was being...a fan and a singer? Impossible. She blinks a few times and pulls back, and I am shocked by how empty I suddenly felt....

                                                     *****************************

      I stopped in front of Jen's house, she stayed in the car for a minute and looked at me "well I had a great time today..thank you...I can't remember the last time I went out like this...ah! It must have been with my paren-...." she blinks and looks down then looks back at me and says "never mind that, thanks Edward! Are we - is what we have considered ...friendship?" She asked hesitantly, I smiled at her....another girl would flirt with me but Jen didn't seem to know how, she asked me interesting things out of the blue and unlike other girls she knew me...unintentionally I was growing close to her ....too close..closer than I'd ever let anyone except the boys,my mother and sister ,come .Jen came in to my life so unexpectedly and suddenly I'm opening up to her..so easily. She would be a great friend, I knew that now and I thought to myself that we were already friends. So I answered "yes Jenny I think we are friends,"  Jenny smiled at me "goodnight Edward " she says and gets out of the car. I watched her walk back home and then as she entered I drove off.

                                                       ****************************

That night my phone rang, I picked it up and for a second I hoped it was Jen, then ridiculing my thoughts I looked at the screen..my face fell but I picked it up "hi dad..." I said unenthusiastically "son I think we need to talk.....about your engagement to Kate...."
