BPOV
As Edward pulled up in the drive I began to panic. Knowing Alice the inside of the house was going to be much worse than the outside. She had decorated the trees with hundreds of twinkling lights and placed streamers around the front door. I groaned.
"Bella, please, let Alice have her fun. This is the first birthday we've had to celebrate since Emmet's in 1935," Edward pleaded.
"It's going to be horrible and knowing my luck something bad is going to happen." I could see it now; I would end the night by falling over or doing something else equally as clumsy.
"Don't be such a pessimist Bella, everything will be fine. Your just overreacting. Besides, the sooner we go in, the sooner we get out." He was still trying to change my mind and get me to be happy about the party.
"Fine, you win. But I will remember this next time I want something." He moved round to the passenger side to let me out and scooped me up. Before i could blink we were at the door. He opened the door and then put me down so I could walk through myself. I started to walk through the door but my foot got caught on something and I dropped. Before i could hit the floor, Edward caught me. You could hear Emmet's booming laughter from where ever he was, laughing at my clumsiness. I blushed, annoyed with my two left feet.
"Bella!" Alice screamed. She launched herself at me almost causing me to fall over again. She pulled me up straight and started launching into what she wanted us to do for my 'special day'.
"First, Edward is going play for us, then we are going to play games, then it's time to open your presents and eat cake!"
As usual, she said all this without taking a breath. I hardly paid any attention to her rambling because i was too busy looking at what she had done inside the house. Whilst she was talking, we had moved into the front room. The first thing i saw was the big cake on the grand piano. It was white and had purple and pink flowers around the edge. It was also huge, though I was the only one eating.
The next thing i saw was the big stack of presents on the floor next the piano. I had told them no presents! What part of that didn't they understand! This was just asking for trouble. I quickly looked around to make sure Jasper was not there. If he was, I would have had a lot of explaining to do.
Once I knew I was safe to continue my thoughts the way I had before, I allowed myself to look at the rest of the room. I smiled. Alice had not gone all out in here. Instead she had just placed a few decorations here and there. It still looked horrible, but there was just enough for me to be able to grin and bear. There were also glass plates that most likely cost as much as the house itself. They sat on an oak table next to the piano.
"Thanks Alice, you shouldn't have" I lied.
"Don't be silly Bella, this is nothing compared to what I could do." My face must have shown my horror because she frowned. "Edward," she sounded frustrated with my reaction.
Edward was at my side in an instant. He pulled me over to the piano. He was seated before I knew and pulled me down to join him. He started playing. I felt like crying because it sounded so beautiful. The rest of his family made their way downstairs as he was playing. The only people that weren't there were Jasper, Esme and Carlisle.
It was a while before Alice decided she wanted to play games. She had set up the space we had for a game of Twister. Before I could protest she said "Bella, there is no way you are getting out of this." She smiled and then asked us what order we wanted to go in.
Emmet ended up having to go first after losing a game of rock, paper, scissors. Alice was second, Edward third and I was last. Rosalie did not want to play, opting to be the judge instead.
Each time we played, i was obviously the first one to lose, damn vampires. I got bored after a few games so I asked Alice if we could move onto the presents. She thought it was my eagerness that wanted to get to the presents quickly. If she wanted to think that, I would let her as long as it kept her off my back.
Sometime during the game, Jasper had slipped into the room. He didn't interact with me like the rest of his family, he chose to stay in a corner. I suspected that Edward also played a part in Jasper keeping away from me as I knew that he was the least controlled of my vampires.
"Which one am I opening first?" I asked, trying to sound enthusiastic.
"This one" Alice said as she shoved a silver wrapped box into my hand.
For a second, I just stared at it, willing it to open itself. When it wouldn't open itself, i slid my hand under a fold to open it. I pulled my finger across the fold to remove the tape. As I went to open the other side of the wrapping I felt myself being flung onto the ground. The glass plates Alice had placed on the table by the piano crashed to the floor. A searing pain shot through my arm when i hit the floor. I looked at the arm that caused me discomfort and wished I hadn't. Blood was pouring out from several places on my arm. I could feel pieces of glass stuck into me. I looked up to see why I was on the floor. Fear ran down my spine.
