Chapter One, Bella's Birthday

EPOV

I'd just gotten back from a hunting trip with Alice. Alice was excited the whole time we were out. Today is Bella's eighteenth birthday and Alice is planning to throw Bella a birthday party. Of course Bella is going to protest against it. Alice knew that but she also knew that she was going to win the argument. So either way Bella would have to come.

''Sometimes, Alice, you just abuse your power to see the future."

"Hey it's not like you've never abused the power of your mind reading." She had a point, but so did I.

"Don't say anything to Bella when she gets to school. I want to tell her first."

"Of course you do Alice." Then we walked out to my car and started heading for school.

When we arrived Alice and I didn't have to wait long before Bella showed up. She walked over to my car but she didn't seem very excited about being older and I knew why. She didn't want to be older than I if she were to be changed into a vampire.

Alice was very enthusiastic once Bella had walked over to us.

"Happy birthday Bella!" Alice gave Bella a hug.

"Ow. Alice a little too tight."

"Oh right, sorry."

"It's okay Alice." Bella was, and is, always such a forgiving person.

"Alice Bella isn't like us, she's human, you have to remember to be careful with her." As I said this I held my hand up towards Bella's face and she touched her warm cheek with my fingertips.

Edward if you don't mind I'd like to tell Bella about her birthday party. Alice was getting irritated on was also getting on my nerves.

"Sorry Alice."

"What?" Bella didn't know what we were talking about.

"Alice has something she wants to tell you."

"Okay." Alice turned Bella around so they were facing each other; I also rotated so that I was standing beside Bella. I wanted to see Bella's face when Alice told her about the party.

"Bella I know today is your birthday and I've decided that I'm going to throw you a birthday party at our house tonight."

Bella's mouth popped open. It took her a minute to close her mouth.

"Alice you know I'm not really a party person."

"Well tonight you will just have to get over that."

"But-"Alice cut her off. Alice is really starting to irritate me.

"Don't try to argue with me Bella what's done is done. Besides I already know who's going to win this argument, and it's not you."

"Alice you need to stop using your power to see who's going to win arguments. You're my friend but you're abusing your power."

I lost it. I started laughing, loudly. That was almost the same exact thing I'd said to Alice this morning. Alice's smile faded.

"I'm sorry Alice I shouldn't have said that."

"I was just trying to celebrate your birthday." Alice started to pout.

"I know Alice. Would you forgive me if I came to the party tonight?"

"Yes."

"Okay Alice I'll come to the party tonight."

"I love you so much right now!" Alice gave Bella another hug.

Be careful, be careful, she's human… Alice was obviously trying to remind herself to be careful with Bella.

"I'll be over at your house by four and Edward will pick us up at seven."

"Why are you coming over so early?"

"So I can help you get ready."

"Oh… okay." It was clear that this idea did not appeal to Bella but she didn't say anything else to Alice about the party.

Then the bell rang for school to start. Bella and I walked, hands intertwined, to our first class.
