Chapter 114 - 114. liars and beatings (1/2)

Then a doctor walked around the corner. He was young, he was blond... and he was almost handsomer than me. He was pale, though, and tired-looking, with circles under his eyes. From Charlie's description, this had to be Carlisle Cullen Amanda's father.

”So, Ryan,” Dr. Cullen said in a remarkably appealing voice, ”how are you feeling?” I am straight.

”I'm fine,” I said, for the last time, I hoped.

He walked to the lightboard on the wall over my head, and turned it on.

”Your X-rays look good,” he said. ”Does your head hurt? Amanda said you hit it pretty hard.”

”It's fine,” I repeated with a sigh, throwing a quick scowl toward Amanda. ”she was pretty rough with me throwing me down like that in the middle of the parking lot in front of all those people. I've never seen a woman so agressive.” Doctor Cullen raised his eyebrow with a quick smirk to his daughter who had a small pout and light pink blush. I continued to spout more bullshit ”Yeah I mean she could have asked me to lunch at least, I mean she is very forward but saving my life I guess I'll let this one slide.” Her blush became even more pronounced as the doctor chuckled she shouted at me ”Shut up you idiot! what are you even talking about!” I just laughed

”Well you seem to be doing fine just relax for the day Take some Tylenol for the pain,” suggested Dr.Cullen .

”It doesn't hurt that bad,” I insisted.

”It sounds like you were extremely lucky,” Dr. Cullen said, smiling as he signed my chart with a flourish.

”Lucky Amanda happened to be standing next to me,” I amended with a hard glance at the subject of my statement.

”Oh, well, yes,” Dr. Cullen agreed, suddenly occupied with the papers in front of him.

As soon as the doctor's back was turned, I moved to Amanda'sside.

”Can I talk to you for a minute?” I asked. She took a step back from me, her jaw suddenly clenched.

”Your father is waiting for you,” she said through her teeth.

I glanced at Dr. Cullen and Tyler.

”I'd like to speak with you alone, if you don't mind,” I pressed.
