Authors note: Ok so this story is Newmoon in Edward POV. Hope you like it. This is my first fanfiction. Read and Review please.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT OR NEWMOON.

I'm so excited! Bella is going to love her gifts! I know she will! And why is

Edward driving so slow?

Edward, go faster!" Alice scolded me from the passenger seat of my shiny silver Volvo, newly waxed I might add.

I glowered at her; I was already pushing 120 mph. But I complied. The reason for her excitement was an occasion we- as in my family in total- haven't celebrated in a while. A birthday. And more specifically, Bella's birthday.

As we slid into the parking lot I heard a voice I my head that was both annoying and annoyed.

Mike Newton.

Cullen. Ugh. Bet he bought Bella some expensive ring. She'll fall all over him when he gives it to her. But if she fell all over me I'd buy her expensive things for her birthday, too. Come on they've been together for how long? I'll get my chance Cullen. You just wait and see, I will.

An image of Bella thrusting her tongue down Mike's throat popped into my mind. Shudders.

I wanted to strangle him for even thinking he had the right to look at Bella let alone touch her.

"Alice?" My question was bound to scare the shit out of her.

"Yes, Edward?" we had just gotten out of the car now and I was leaning on the hood, waiting for my Bella.

"Have you had a vision of me brutally murdering Newton?" I spat out while running my hands furiously through my hair. I t was all I could do mot to go over the vile creatures car and gouge his eyes out.

He caught my glare and averted his eyes back to Jessica Stanley, who was rambling on in front of him about some stupid date they had had in the past.

Dumbass.

"No, why?" Alice's eyes were wide with terror. She looked like a dear caught in the head lights.

"Because I might just do that."

"What did he do?" she asked. Alice was frightened but she let an edged of anger mask her tone.

"He didn't do anything but he's thinking everything." Alice opened her mouth to reply, but was cut off by the rumbling sound that was Bella's truck.

Bella.

It felt like years since I'd seen her though it had only been a matter of days. I ignored Alice and kept my eyes locked on Bella. She had a wary look on her face for a reason I couldn't fathom why.

As she emerged from the sorry excuses for a truck, the look disappeared and a new expression took over… relief?

She'll love this! God her expressions change quickly! Sad, happy, now back to sad…

Alice was getting on my nerves. As she skipped toward Bella with a silver wrapped present in hand she sing-songed, "Happy Birthday, Bella."

"Shh!" Bella obviously didn't like this.

Alice, however, was oblivious. "Do you want to open your presents now or later?" They were approaching me quickly.

"No presents." silly Bella.

Finally, Alice caught on. Good job, Alice, golf clap.

"Okay… later, then. Did you like the scrapbook your mom sent you? And the camera from Charlie?"

"Yeah. They're great."

"I think it's a nice idea. You're only a senior once. Might as well document the experience."

"How many times have you been senior?" Bella was always a smart one.

"That's different." Alice's tone was a tad sharper than necessary. When they were a few feet away I extended my hand for Bella's and- like she always did- she took it eagerly.

Tracing her lips I asked, "So, as discussed, I am not aloud to wish you a happy birthday, is that correct?"

"Yes. That is correct." Damn it.

"Just checking. You might have changed your mind. Most people seem to enjoy things like birthdays and gifts."

But then again Bella is different. She's no like everybody else.

What Alice had just thought sent a wave of good feeling through me. Of course Bella was different. That's why I loved her.

"Of course you'll enjoy it." Alice laughed. "Everyone is supposed to be nice to you today and give you your way, Bella. What's the worst that could happen?"

"Getting older." Bella hissed.

Okay good feeling gone.

"Eighteen isn't very old," she doesn't know where to stop does she? "Don't women usually wait until they're twenty-nine to get upset over birthdays?"

"It's older than Edward." Great, now she was going to compare ages. Uh, Bella, honey, I'm one-hundred and ten years old!

"Technically," Alice shut up already, "Just by one little year though." This seemed to comfort Bella and I made a mental note to thank Alice.

Oh crap! The party! What time do I get everything ready? Bella! Okay be calm, Mary Alice, be calm.

"What time will you be at our house?" Alice was so subtle.

"I didn't know I had plans to be there."

"Oh, be fair, Bella!" Shut up Alice! "You aren't going to ruin our fun like that, are you?"

"I thought my birthday was about what I want."

I couldn't listen to their bikcering much longer. "I'll get her from Charlie's right after school," She won't protest to me.

"I have to work." Okay, maybe she would.

"You don't actually, I already spoke to Mrs. Newton about it," Alice - being the intelligent being she is - would get Bella out of work. "She's trading your shifts. She said to tell you 'Happy Birthday.'"

"I - I still can't come over. I well, I haven't watched Romeo and Juliet yet for English."

"You have Romeo and Juliet memorized." Alice countered.

"But Mr. Berty said we needed to see it performed to fully appreciate it - that's how Shakespeare intended it to be presented."

"You've already seen the movie." Alice reminded her. She was very visibly getting irritated.

"But not the nineteen-sixties version. Mr. Berty said it was the best."

An image of Alice brutally dragging Bella behind as she ran at full speed, came to Alice's mind as she spoke. "This can be easy, or this can be hard Bella, but one way or the other..."

THe image started to get violent so I cut in.

"Relax, Alice."

No!

"If Bella wants to watch a movie then she can. It's her birthday."

"So there," Bella added.

Edward?

Alice eyed me suspiciously.

"I'll bring her over around seven," I assure her. "That will give you more time to set up."

Bella's face fell and Alice giggled like two year old on a pony.

"Sounds good. See you tonight, Bella! It'll be fun, you'll see." She pecked Bella on the cheek and skipped to her first class.

"Edward, please..." Bella started to protest, but I silenced her with a finger.

"Lets discuss it later. We're going to be late for class." And with that we strode off to the nightmare that was high school.

THANK YOU! thanks for reading the first chapter I know its short but once edward leaves bella they will be longer. R&R! i accept constructive critisism so dont be shy.
