I don't own Twilight or any of the characters, but I wish I did.

Turning 18

Today has to be the worst day of my of my life to this point. I am turning 18 tomorrow and no one has remembered my birthday. That's not the worst part the guy I am so very much in love with only sees me as his sister's best friend. Confused? Let me start at the beginning.

My name is Isabella Swan, but I go by Bellafor short. I live in tiny town in Washington state named Forks. I am your average teenager who just happens to be in love with her best friend. I have know Edward and his twin sister Alice since they moved here in the first grade. I think that is when I first fell in love with Edward.

Flashback…

I was playing in the sand box when my friend Angela said "Isabella lets go play on the swings." She was so excited that we got to play outside today that she didn't notice Mike Newton was coming tward us with a cup of worms. I didn't see the cup till it was to late and had already dumped it on my head. As I sat there crying Mike said " look everyone it's Isabella the worm princess." The next thing I knew mike was on the ground holding his nose and crying.

"Leave her alone or else" someone said to the now upset Mike. I looked up to thank who ever it was that defended me and what I saw was two of the most beautiful children in the world. I was still in awe when the pretty little girl with short black hair stuck her hand out to me. "Hi I'm Alice and this is my twin brother Edward" she said to me, but I was staring at Edward. He had bronze colored hair and was so cute but, all he said was "hello" and then ran away.

End Flashback…

Here I am waiting to hear from Alice who is in LA visiting her boyfriend this week. She won't be back till Monday. While I was in my own little world my cell started to ring. I didn't recignize the number so I causously answer with a "hello?"

"Bella? This is Jasper Alice's boyfriend. I am calling for her since she is in the shower. She wanted me to tell you that she is extending her stay here and won't be back for another week." I was floored to say the least. "Thank you for calling me to let me know tell Alice I said hi" and with that I hung up.

I decided to call Edward and see if he wanted to hang out, but when he picked up I heard someone in the back round say "Eddie come on I want to go to the movies." I was so upset that I just hung up and cried. Edward never even called me back to see what I wanted. I just went to bed and cried myself to sleep that night.

The next day as I walked into school from my beat up truck I saw Edward kissing the one person I hated most. Why her? Why Tanya? I thought he hated her. He has never shown any intrest in any girl in school; so why did he pick her of all people?

I didn't even adknowlege them as I walked to my locker at the end of the hall. I was just getting ready to close my locker door when I heard someone call out my name. "Bella. Bella. Bella!" I turned to see none other than Edward and Tanya. "What do you want Edward" I asked him as I got ready to go to my first class.

"I wanted to introduce you to Tanya my girlfriend." I looked up to see a big smile on his face as he said these words. I chanced a look at her and all I can say is that she had a smug look on her face; as if to say "he's mine and you'll never have him." All I could do was say " congrats" and then I went to class.

That is how my week has been. Every time I see him he is either cuddling, holding her hand or just plain making out with her. If she sees me in the halls she just smiles and then laughs. I hate my life!

Alice should be home next week but that doesn't make me feel any better since TODAY is my birthday and nobody cares. I woke up at 7:00 and decided that I couldn't be at home right now; so I drove out to beach and just sat there and watched the waves.

While sitting there I started to make a mental list of things to do before I turn 19. It wasn't a big list. 1)fall out of love with Edward. 2)buy a new car 9my truck is dying a slow death.) 3) fall out of love with Edward Cullen.

Around 2:00 I got in my truck and started to head home. I pulled up to my house and saw that my dad's car wasn't there. "He must have left to go fishing already" I said to myself as I walked up the front steps. I had just opended the door and all I heard was 'SURPRISE!!!"

My jaw just about hit the floor. Everyone was there standing in my living room. I just stood there not moving when I almost got knocked to the ground by a little pixie. "Alice?" I asked. "I thought you were staying in LA for another week" I said to her. "Silly Bella I had Jazz call you and tell you that so that I could plan your party without you finding out.' Did you really think I would miss your birthday?"

With that being said she dragged me into the living room where none other than Edward was standing with a red rose and a smile that could light up a small town. He stepped forward and handed me the rose and said "happy birthday Bella." "Thank you Edward." I said to him. I looked up to see he was still standing close to me and I wanted to ask what was wrong when he kissed me.

"E.. Edward?" I stuttered out. He just smiled bigger and kissed me again and then he said the words I have always wanted to hear. "Isabella Swan I love you."

"I love you too Edward." I said back. Then it hit me "Edward what about Tanya?" I asked almost afraid to hear his answer. "Bella I have loved you since the day in first grade when I yelled at Mike for putting worms in your hair.' I was only with Tanya to make you jealous. She nothing but a friend." I could hardly beleave what he was saying until I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder and say " he is telling the trueth. He asked for my help, and I couldn't say no." I just stared at Tanya, when she smiled at me I couldn't help but smile back. I think this turning out to be a great birthday after all.

3years later

"Edward could you please change Lizzy?" I asked my loving husband of 2 years. "Sure bells I got her." He said with a smile that makes my knees weak. We have been to gether since my 18th birthday and are now very happily married. We have beautiful little girl and another baby on the way. All I can say is that I have never been happier and will never think that my family and friends have forgotten my birthday ever again.

Well that's it. I know it is not the best but I tried.
