Isabella Marie Swan

Age: seventeen

Suffers from: Anorexia, bulimia, mild depression.

Case notes: From what we have gathered Isabella was in an abusive relationship, she has refused to eat repeatedly, has a scar which seems to have been caused by a knife from her left shoulder to her hip bone, it does not look as if it has been self-inflicted. We are deeply concerned for here therefore she is to be admitted to Cullen's institute for an undetermined period.

Carlisle Cullen stares down at the case notes in his hand, Miss Swan is to arrive tomorrow and already Carlisle knew this was going to be a hard case, not to mention she would be one of the youngest patients currently.

Sighing softly Carlisle pushes the glasses up his nose as he pulls out a small envelope from the girls file, glancing over the pictures as he gasps in horror, the girl couldn't be more than six stone and nearly every inch of her pale skin was covered in some sort of bruise, it was decided he was going to heal Isabella Swan.

Isabella walks into the dark and dreary hospital.. okay she was exaggerating it wasn't as bad as she had been expecting but it sure as hell did not mean that she wanted to be.. she didn't need to be here, Bella had been in hospital for the past month and already she had put on half a stone and was now a hefty 98 pounds. James had always told her that she was two fat and she knew that he was right, she was disgusting, she wanted to be perfect.. the difference is she didn't want to be perfect for him anymore, not after what he had done.

She walks up the corridors which two escorts from the hospital who looked as though they wanted to be anywhere but here, which did not exactly put Bella at ease though she doubted he really cared.

As the two men stop so does Isabella, standing nervously as she waits for someone to come and greet them, she hated meeting new people which was largely due to her lack of self-confidence.

Finally after what seems like an eternity but in reality is only a few minutes a man walks towards them. Isabella does not bother to look up, she stares at the ground watching as the smart black shoes walk closer and closer towards her.

"This is Isabella?" the man asks, obviously not directing his question at her instead at the two beefy 'bodyguards'

"Yes this is her."

"Good morning Isabella it is a pleasure to have you here with us" the man says and this time Isabella knows he is speaking to her, still she doesn't say anything, why open her mouth and risk saying anything stupid.

"She doesn't talk that much" one of the men says speaking for Isabella "we don't know why some days she will some days she won't, but we never get more than a yes or no" Isabella knows she should feel angry at the way she is being spoken about, but she cannot find it within herself to care.

Peaking up from beneath lowered eyelashes she sees the frown on the doctors lips.. and what a handsome doctor he is. Her eyes widen as she realises what she has just thought, James would kill her if he knew she was thinking of things like that.. but he isn't here, she reminds herself.

"Never mind" Carlisle says plastering on a fake grin "you gentlemen can go, I've got it from here" Carlisle orders. "Follow me Isabella."

Obediently she does "I won't lie to you Isabella it's going to take a lot of hard work for you to get better, but perhaps in time you will see that it's not so bad, we're like one big happy if not slightly dysfunctional family" the doctor says, causing Isabella to scoff, she didn't believe that.. not even for a second." She was going to hate it here.

"Now you will be staying on the ward where all of the other eating disorder patients stay" this of course casuses Isabella to scoff, she didn't have an eating disorder, she just wanted to be skinny.. there was nothing wrong with that. Doctor Cullen catches sight of the look and internally sighs yet he chooses to ignore it "though you will only be confined to it at night time, we believe in our patients mixing. I believe it will help all of your development."

Isabella says nothing she just wanted to get to her room, so she could try and sleep, she hadn't slept properly in such a long time. "Now would you like to go and meet the others?" Isabella's eyes widen and Carlisle takes pity on the young girl "or perhaps you would prefer to go and rest? You have had a long day after all and I know this is a lot to process." Relief whooshes through Isabella as she nods ever so slightly.

Carlisle smiles it was the first interaction he had gotten out of the girl "very well" he leads her down a brightly lit hallway and Isabella follows dutifully.

"You won't be sharing your room, we thought perhaps you would prefer your own" Isabella knew what that meant they had heard of her nightmares, and she knew that she would have the same one tonight.

"Here's your room "Carlisle says as they enter a purple coloured room, Isabella barely notices it though, Carlisle places her bag on the ground "Sleep well, breakfast is served at seven am" with that he shuts the door, he knew she had already eaten otherwise he would have insisted she came for dinner.

Isabella watches as he leaves the room, she had a feeling she would never get out of here and maybe it was better that way. She was safe.
