LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
I wake up feeling rather horny realizing I had that same "sex with a stranger" dream again for the 4th time this week. I sigh and try to shake myself from the dream and the feelings it caused. I sit up in bed and realize it's my 18th birthday! That fact alone takes away the remnants of the sex dream making me excited for a whole different reason.
Right on cue, my parents bust into my room wearing huge smiles. My dad is holding a platter with my favorite breakfast items while my mom's arms house gifts for me. Surprisingly, both of my parents are good singers and belt out their own version of "Happy Birthday" for me. I can't help but smile as I realize they've done this for as long as I can remember.
"Hey baby! Happy Birthday!" my mom says as she kisses my cheek and lays the gifts on my bed.
"Here's your breakfast Bells! I made your favorite! Bacon, cheesy scrambled eggs and English muffins!" he announces with excitement.
"Thanks so much guys! I love you both!" I say cheerfully around of mouth of eggs.
"Well, aren't you gonna open your presents?" Renee asks practically bouncing on her feet.
I shake my head with a slight laugh and push my food away. I reach for the biggest box, ripping off the thin wrapping paper. Piece by piece I reveal some seat covers that I was looking at that'd be perfect for my dream car. I look up at my parents slightly confused but full of hope. My mom urges me on with her hands.
Next, I open a smaller box and shout with excitement. "NO WAY! NO FREAKING WAY! You didn't?!"
I hop out of my bed and pull both of my parents into a hug jumping when they confirm that they did in fact purchase my dream car. I run downstairs and out of the front door gripping the strange key that went to it.
My new, well new to me, 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, Rocky Mountain Edition sat in my driveway. It was clean, a shiny black with tinted windows all around with chrome rims, handles, and mirrors. I open the driver side door to inhale the "New Car" scent and check out the interior.
"You'll have plenty of time to check it out later Bella. Right now you need to get ready for school," my dad says with a hint of seriousness. Begrudgingly, I lean back out of the Jeep and go back into the house and up to my room. I notice my phone flashing and scoop it up. I have text from Alice but nothing from Edward which actually doesn't surprise me.
Before I take a shower, I text him to tell him that I wouldn't be in need of a ride. I take extra time grooming myself in the shower since it's my birthday and I need to look extra good today. Once I'm finished I give myself a final glance in the mirror to make sure I'm completely satisfied with my appearance.
I venture downstairs to reheat my forgotten breakfast and sit down to eat with my parents. "Do you and Edward have plans tonight?" my mom asks carefully. She knows things have been on the rocks lately between us.
I shrug my shoulders. "He said that he had a surprise planned… we'll see though," I reply indifferently. I give her a pointed look that lets her know I don't really want to talk about anything in front of Dad. He already hates Edward, no need to add fuel to the fire.
"Oh, I remember when your dad would surprise me," she says sounding far away. My dad looks over to her sheepishly before turning his gaze to me.
"You be careful tonight Bells, and call me if you need me," he tells me in a fatherly tone.
I nod and stand to put my dirty dishes in the sink. With a quick hug to them both I'm out the door walking to my Jeep. I'm in love with already and I haven't even driven it. I open the door, carefully depositing my bag on the passenger seat, settling into my own.
I start the Jeep and begin to set my favorite radio stations. I notice that I have an auxiliary option, 6 disc cd changer and Sirius radio. I quickly browse through the stations before stopping to the country one that has the most recent songs.
I adjust the mirrors and seat to my liking and pull out of the driveway heading for school. I turn up the music as I pull into the parking lot noticing all of the heads pointing my way trying to figure out who was driving. It's me bitches, I think to myself with a smirk.
I whip into a parking spot kind of far from the school so no one "accidentally" hits my baby. Edward pulls in right next to me a few minutes later. I grab my stuff, getting out and trying to sneak away before he actually notices that it's me but I'm not fast enough. What kind of girlfriend tries to hide from her boyfriend?
He jumps out of his car and runs over to me "Happy birthday love," he says pulling me close and kissing my forehead. He let's go and before I can say anything I hear the roar of a familiar motorcycle. I instantly look around for my sexy ass best friend. I spot him a few cars down and take off running towards him.
"Jake!" I yell launching myself into his waiting arms.
"Bells! Happy Birthday Loca," he says squeezing me close to him sniffing my hair.
"Thanks boo, you didn't have to come all the way from La Push to tell me though. A phone call would've sufficed," I gently scold.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. But, I had to bring your present of course," he says with an easy smile. I shouldn't have been surprised; Jake was always the first person after my parents to give me my birthday present.
"Well, what is it?" I ask becoming impatient.
He chuckles at me but holds up a beautifully hand-crafted dream catcher. "Oh, Jake! I love it, it's perfect actually," I gush pulling him in for another hug. We talk for a few more minutes and then he tells me he has to go but he'd see me soon.
I stand waving and watching him drive away until he leaves my line of sight. Suddenly a hand wraps around my upper arm and I yelp in pain. "You done?" Edward growls out.
I snatch away from him instantly pissed off. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" I snap at him rubbing my sore arm.
"You! You were literally all over him, embarrassing me in front of our friends," he whisper yells.
I stare at him in disbelief and let out a humorless laugh. "Jealous much? I hugged him twice, that's hardly 'all over him.' Jake is like my younger brother and you already know that," I hiss at him. This asshole doesn't even have the brains to at least pretend to be sorry.
"And don't you EVER fucking grab me like that! Are you fucking stupid? And on my birthday? Fuck you, Edward!" I scream at him, my anger hitting a new high. I turn abruptly and walk away from him refusing to let that asshole ruin my day. I find that everyone is staring at me. "The fuck are you looking at?" I yell to everyone.
Okay, maybe I'm being a little dramatic but oh fucking well. "Bella, Bella wait! I'm sorry. Please forgive me love," Edward cries chasing after me. He's only pissing me off more because I hate that nickname he uses on me. He never calls me anything else. It's annoying as fuck especially at this moment.
I keep walking like I don't hear him and continue into the building to my locker. He's right on my heels begging me to look at him or talk to him. I let out a sigh setting the books I won't need in my locker and slam it closed.
I round on him and push him right up against the lockers across from mine looking him right in the eye. "I will forgive you this time Edward. But do not let it happen again and stop whining at me. It's too early for that shit," I say firmly.
He tries to say something but I cover his mouth. "Shut up and kiss me," I demand. He looks so confused that it's comical. I place my hands on my hips and cock my head to the side. "Well…" I challenge.
He sobers up and kisses me gently on the lips giving me a small smile. I need something different. I'm fucking sick of the way he kisses me, like I'm fragile or something.
"Hello Edward," Tanya, the school slut, purrs at him.
Although he barely responds I can't help but notice the look the two of them share. It makes me feel a little uneasy but I shake it off. A high screech pierces the hall making me cringe. Alice. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but she can be the most annoying person at times.
"Bella!" she yells bumping into Tanya who huffs and walks away.
"Hey Ali," I say with a big smile and give her a hug.
"Happy birthday! What are your plans for the night? It's not every year that your 18th birthday is on a Friday!" she gushes.
I look up at Edward expectantly and but he's looking down the hall not paying any attention. I clear my throat and elbow him in the ribs. "Hmm?" he grumbles still not paying attention. I finally look down the hall following his gaze to Tanya, Lauren and Jessica who are all making eyes at him. I feel a little hurt but I refuse to let it show.
"I have arrangements for 7:30. You can have her until then," he says dismissively and walks away.
Alice sees the look of rejection that crosses my face before I can stop it. "Fuck him Bella, We'll have fun!" she knows just the thing to say. I let her lead me to her locker. Out of nowhere Jasper appears and attempts his morning flirt with Alice. He's sexy in a southern way but Alice just doesn't like him. She really hates southern accents for some dumb reason.
"Baby, I've been waiting for you. Where have you been all my life?" he says in his southern drawl.
"Hello Jasper," Alice says with a laugh.
"Hey, are you gonna be with Edward after school?" I ask him as casually as I can.
"Nah, he said he had shit to do before he met up with you Bell," he answers bumping my shoulder. "Happy birthday by the way,"
"Yeah, thanks," I mumble confused as the bell rings. Edward originally told me he would be with Jasper after school because Jasper was helping him with my surprise.
I hurry to class taking my usual seat only to find a new girl sitting right next to it. "Hi, I'm Renesmee but my friends call me Ren," the girl introduces herself.
"Hey, I'm Bella. You're new here, huh?" I say stating the obvious.
"Yeah, I'm from California," she replies.
I take another glance at her, silently sizing her up. She doesn't look like the "Hollywood" type so I'm sure we'll get along just fine. We chat throughout the class and I find that I genuinely like her. She's going to fit in with my little group so well.
She's 17 and really smart so she skipped a grade making her a senior as well. She mentions that her dad is a doctor, which is why they moved to Forks, while her mom does interior design. I invite her to sit with us at lunch and she happily accepts.
The rest of the morning is pretty uneventful before I gush to Alice about Ren. She admits that she's worried Ren is going to replace her. That is until she meets her at lunch and a look that resembles recognition crosses her face. Alice seemingly likes Ren as well. Alice says she's the "missing piece" in our group, especially since she hates odd numbers.
Alice invites Ren along on the after school events while I invite Angela. The girls try to figure out ways to get to Port Angeles. With all of the day's excitement I forgot to tell them about my new whip. "Ladies, I forgot to tell you what my parents got me for my birthday... MY JEEP!" I yell in excitement.
Of course they want to go and see it so I happily oblige. We gather up our stuff and rush out to the parking lot. They make the appropriate "oohs" and "ahhs" before we go back inside to finish the school day.
The rest of the day passes with no issues other than a few dirty looks from those skanks. At the last bell, I rush to my locker to deposit everything I won't need for the weekend. Suddenly, I feel someone standing close to me. Slowly I turn around to find Edward standing there watching me with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Hey..." he begins quietly.
"I'd love to stay and chat but I've gotta meet the girls. I'll see you later though," I reply say basically blowing him off. I feel bad, kind of, but I've got places to be!
The girls are already waiting by the Jeep so I unlock it. "Throw your stuff in the way back!" I yell to them.
Alice and Angela begin to argue about who's gonna sit in the front while I secretly give the seat to Ren. She sneaks around them and slides into the passenger seat while I do the same in the driver's side. I glance over at her and she's wearing a shit eating grin. I laugh when Ali and Ang finally figure out that they both lost and climb in the back.
We laugh almost the entire way to Port Angeles and have sore ribs when we finally exit the Jeep. We walk into a few stores and Alice sees this dress she thinks that I just have to have, she finds it in my size and purchases it for me. Ang comes across matching heels and buys them for me. I hate when people buy things for me.
"Ren, if you even think about buying me anything, we're gonna have some problems," I joke.
She looks at me sheepishly. "Too late," she says holding up a bag that holds jewelry.
I don't even respond. I simply shake my head and laugh. After we finish shopping, we decide to go on a food hunt. I highly doubt Edward's going to take me to dinner anyway. I have a sense of foreboding when the song Stay by Sugarland comes on.
"Oooh Bella! Let's get pizza!" Alice snaps me out of my thoughts.
The scent hints my nose and makes my mouth water instantly. "Mmm, smells good," I decide on the spot.
I whip the Jeep into a parking spot and quickly usher the girls out. "Come on, come on, come on! I'm starving!" I exclaim dramatically.
We get into the pizza place and sit at a round table. Ren and I split a medium extra cheese pizza with bacon while Alice and Ang get half cheese/half pepperoni. Alice's tiny self "doesn't eat meat." We talk animatedly and laugh like crazy the entire time we're there. We probably piss off some older couples but who cares? It's my birthday.
After we finish eating, I drive the girls back to the school so they can get their vehicles before I head home myself. I talk quickly with my mom about the day so far before going upstairs. Once I deposit my new purchases, I text Edward to see what I should wear for the evening. He doesn't immediately respond so I hop in the shower careful not to get my hair wet.
When I get out, I touch up my make up before going back to my room and checking my phone for a message from Edward. Still no reply. Awesome boyfriend. Instantly, I decide to forego the dress and flashy jewelry. He doesn't deserve to see me dressed up, I mentally tell myself.
Looking in the closet I pull out some jeans that have a slight flare with a long sleeved black shirt that has little design patterns. Walking over to my dresser I pull out some black lacy boy shorts with a matching bra and a white cami to go under the semi see through shirt. I decide against heels and go with some cute flats. I don't look over the top but I could still look good.
At the last minute, I decide to pack an overnight bag. I throw in my favorite dark blue skinny jeans, a gray off the shoulders shirt, a strapless bra, and my favorite black knee high "fuck me" boots. I also throw some deodorant, body spray, and my phone charger in the bag. I run into the bathroom and grab my toothbrush as well. Who knows what I'll get into tonight, it's just better to be prepared than sorry.
I sit around and creep on Facebook for a while, beginning to wonder if Edward is even coming when I hear a beep outside. Taking a quick glance at the clock I see that its 8 o'clock, only a half an hour late. Shaking my head I grab my things and yell bye to my mom as I walk out to meet Edward.
I stop at the Jeep so I can grab my wallet and hear him turn off his Volvo and get out. "We're taking your car?" he asks.
I just stare at him in disbelief. "No, I thought we were taking yours? I'm just getting my wallet," I reply.
"Oh, yeah… it's cool. We're just going to my house anyway," he says coolly.
Really?! On my birthday? Just to his house?! Oh Mr. Masen, I am not impressed. "Oh, okay," I say quietly unable to hide my disappointment.
He throws his arm over my shoulder with a chuckle trying to lead me to his car. "Don't worry love, we'll have fun," he tells me.
I'm still not fully convinced. I turn away from him and throw my bag over the seat. "Actually, I'll drive myself so you don't waste gas by having to bring me back," I say trying to sound reasonable. In all honesty, I just don't want to be stuck there.
"Yeah, that sounds good," he agrees almost too easily.
On the drive over I contemplate my relationship with Edward. How he treats me, how I want to be treated, how he acts with those skanks. Everything has changed. He used to be so thoughtful and loving but now he's distant, rude, and disrespectful.
Before I know it, we're at his house turning up the long driveway. He pulls into his parking spot and I pull in behind him. He tells me that we've got the place to ourselves as his parents are having a date night out of town. For some reason this makes me feel uneasy. I only nod my head in response and follow him inside the house.
Edward leads me straight to the kitchen and tells me to sit at the island style bar they have. Walking to the fridge he pulls out a cake with white frosting and grabs snickers ice cream from the freezer. He clearly didn't make the cake but that's actually reassuring to me.
"Its a German-Chocolate cake," he tells me setting it in front of me.
This just proves that he doesn't listen at all. I definitely just told him a few days ago that my favorite cake is chocolate on chocolate while my favorite ice cream is cookies and cream. I put on my best fake smile to tell him thanks and that I'd get some later. SIKE!
He leads us up to his room to watch a movie, of his choice of course on my motherfucking birthday. I'm officially pissed off. What girl wants to watch Battle of Los Angeles on her birthday? I'm sitting straight up, silently pissed off not really paying attention to this fucking movie.
Just as I pull out my phone to play a game, I feel Edward's hand creeping up my back under my shirts to my bare skin. I immediately stiffen and turn to look at him with an eyebrow raised. He must take this as a sign to continue, he never could read me, because he grabs my face and kisses me roughly. I'm so pissed at the sudden attack I can't even bring myself to give in to the kiss.
I try to push him away from me but he pulls me closer. I turn my head and he starts kissing down my neck. "Edward, stop. I'm not feeling this," I tell him still struggling against him.
"Come on Bella, don't stop me now. Let me please you for your birthday," he pleads. He grabs my hand and places it on his jeans making me rub his dick. I snatch my hand back but he continues his ministrations on my neck. "I'll make you feel good Bella."
"No, damn it, I don't want this," I say firmly pushing myself completely away from him.
"You're such a fucking ice queen," he yells at me angrily.
I stare at him in disbelief that quickly turns to anger before I know it I'm punching him as hard as I can right in the face. Blood explodes from his nose making me feel smug as fuck.
"You stupid bitch! That's why I've been cheating on you for months!" he shouts spitting out blood.
"Fuck you Edward, your dick feels small anyway motherfucker. You probably can't even fuck right! I'm done! Don't ever talk to me again!" I scream at him before kneeing him in the nuts and storming out.
When I walk past the kitchen I grab the plate holding the cake and throw it right at the wall and watch it slide to the floor jumping slightly when the plate breaks. I pull out my phone and dial Alice as I grab my keys off of the counter.
"Alice, I'm coming over. Call Emmett and see if he's the bouncer tonight. We're going out. Call the girls to let them know and then start getting ready. I'll let myself in," I tell her in a hurry.
Hearing the tone of my voice, she quickly agrees without asking questions and hangs up. I start the car and wait for my Bluetooth to connect before calling my mom. I tell her a cliff notes version of my night with Edward and that I'm going out with my girls. I hear my dad yell to me telling me to be safe and asking if he wants me to pay Edward a visit. I laugh telling them no and that I love them before hanging up.
Let the night begin.
