He's a rich doctor and she's a struggling student. What happens when he offers her the pile of papers that will change her life with just one signature? entry for the entry for the TwiFic Doctorward contest

Edward and Bella thought they would be together forever. They didn't know that fate would pull them apart. Edward didn't know many things. He didn't know people could be so cruel. He didn't know that one night at work would change his life forever. However, he DID know that he loved Bella with all of his heart and they belonged together. He didn't know how but they would be together.

Bella & Edward are undoubtedly the best kept secret in Forks High School, dating in secret but their relationship is doomed to be exposed and the consequences of this will rip both their worlds apart. Who, if anyone will come out of this mess unscathed.

Edward makes one mistake, and soon learns he must pay for it. Forced to lie to his family and Bella, will be manage to survive being Taken?
