New Moon at Midnight

Birthday

My birthday was coming up and I wasn't really excited. Wanna know why? Because to everyone else, I didn't exist, remember? Bella's birthday was a big deal though, and she got to spend it at the vampires house. So I decided to take my money and go on a shopping trip.

I had my car fueled and made my reassurances to Charlie before I left. I didn't acknowledge Bella or Edward as I left, I was free to myself for awhile.

Of course I had a cell phone in case Charlie needed to check on me but I was fine. I smiled for real as I sped down the freeway to my destination. I blasted my music and ignored the fingers as I cut in front of people.

As I headed home that night I received several calls from Bella. It didn't bother me and I didn't answer them. however, I was bombarded by her as soon as I set foot in the doors.

All my bags and boxes fell to the floor as he hugged me and started sobbing into my shirt. I didn't know what to do except fume internally at the mess and awkwardly pat her back.

She blubbered nonsense into my shoulder as we stood at the doorway for a few minutes.

"Bella?"

"Hubbub Edwaub sab fom Jabwub," she blubbered.

"What are you talking about? I can't understand you!" I told her.

"Hubbuh Edwaub sab from Babwub," she said into my shoulder.

"Okay seriously, my patience only goes so far, what is going on," I said testily.

"Edward saved me from Jasper because I got a paper cut!" She wailed.

"You almost died from a paper cut?" I asked.

She nodded.

Well there's a way to die. I can see it in the paper now, girl dies from vampire sucking at paper cut. Wow...

"What's the problem then? You're safe now right?" I asked.

"Edward got all cold, he isn't staying with me tonight or anything...I don't know what he's thinking..." she cried.

"Well I know he's stupid and will take responsibility so he thinks it's his fault," I said.

I then realized how fragile Bella really was. Not in terms of muscle strength but of her mind, if Edward was gone, then she would shrivel away inside. Zombie Bella didn't sound good to me even though the picture would be hilarious.

"Don't worry, just talk to him about it, okay?" I told her.

She nodded and went up to her room to sulk.

I grumbled as I picked up the mess of shopping bags and boxes and inwardly hoped that she wouldn't be like this all the time.
