-1This is my first fanfic, so everyone please review. If I'm horrible, tell me.
This fan fiction is a group of snippets from the Twilight Series. They are from other characters' points of views. This chapter is Bella's birthday party from Rosalie's point of view.
Party - Rosalie
I waited in my house for the arrival of my brother and his girlfriend. I was in a room surrounded by some of the finest decorations I had ever seen. Alice had had roses overflowing from crystal bowls on every available surface. She had roses shipped from a famous florist in Oregon. "The best of the best," she had said.
These flamboyant flowers were fit for a deserving event, like my wedding, but not for a little girl's birthday party! What was Alice thinking?! Isabella even told Alice she didn't want a party of presents. I wasn't one to go against the wishes of others.
Just then I heard that awful, horrid truck pull up. I hated trucks.
I heard murmurs of excitement coming from my family. Alice started to bounce up and down.
"I hope she doesn't make a fuss…," Alice muttered to herself.
Edward and Bella opened the door. Even though Edward and I had never really gotten along, I was so happy to see him. I wasn't happy enough to smile, but I was happy.
Bella had that permanent red stain on her face, just as usual. I saw Edward send death rays at me with his eyes. Whoops.
"You haven't changed at all," Emmett said. "I expected a perceptible difference, but here you are, red-faced just like always." I hated it when he acted like he was amused by her. As if he was amused by a girl like Bella. Ha!
"Thanks a lot, Emmett," she responded.
Emmett chuckled. "I have to … step out for a second. Don't do anything funny while I'm gone."
"I'll try," she said. I could tell she was uncomfortable. I loved Emmett with all my heart, but I hated when he said awkward things to others. It was embarrassing.
After a small argument with Alice, Bella opened her gift. It was from Emmett, Jasper, and me. After I refused to sign the tag, Emmett had forged my signature perfectly onto the tag so poor, sweet Bella would not be sad or disappointed. She opened the empty box. Alice had insisted that Emmett install it so Bella could not return it to the company.
She made the most hilarious face when she tried to make sense of the numbers on the box. When she saw that the box was indeed empty, she said, "Um… thanks." I smiled. I had wanted to keep myself from smiling. I wanted Edward to know that I did not want to be here. I just couldn't help it! Humans could be so stupid sometimes. And the way she tried to still seem polite was so funny. I quickly composed my face.
I could see Bella smiling ear to ear at me. Her unattractive, disproportionate face looked a little better when she smiled.
After Edward assured Bella that he spent no money on her gift, she opened it. Just then, the floral smell of her blood filled the room. Jasper lunged at Bella so quickly that even Edward barely had time to react.
"No!" Edward shouted as he hurled himself between Jasper and Bella. Bella fell to the floor, shattering all Alice's hard work. Then, the smell of the blood became so strong it took me by surprise. I quickly composed myself. Why would I want to drink Bella's blood? I kept telling myself.
As I looked at Bella's pained expression, I felt a sudden pang of compassion. I would never have wanted my birthday party to end like this.
I saw Emmett pin Jasper against the wall. Carlisle told us to get Jasper outside into the fresh air. Despite my sympathy for Bella, I knew something like this would happen. I had told Edward many times that Bella was not good for us. I struggled to get Jasper outside, but every time his teeth came near my head, a leaned away. I was NOT going to ruin my flawless skin for a human.
I heard Esme say a very ashamed apology to Bella as she followed us out into the yard. Jasper's eyes looked normal now, and he broke free from our grasp and ran around the house towards the woods.
"Oh, well," I said as I took out a comb and fixed my hair in the reflection of Bella's truck.
