Chapter 1: A Not So Terrible Birthday
Life had returned back to normal after the incident with Abel only a few months ago, Blair and Jacob had fallen back into their romantic routine and he took extra care in protecting her. Their bond had only grown stronger through the tough events, each gaining more knowledge of the enemy and a sense of themselves. Jacob had become more attached to Blair, he was barely aware of the deep connection they shared at times because being by her side had become so natural, he rarely left her alone anymore. Blair had overcome the rough process of reverting back into a human, nearly loosing her life to a bloodthirsty killer. She had become stronger through her own transformation. She had developed more into an adult, still acting as goofy as any regular teenager but she was well aware of her deep love for Jacob. A profound emotion she had never experienced with anyone before. During the battle she knew without a doubt she would be willing to give her life up for the sake of saving Jacob from a terrible fate. He had become an important part of her life and she was willing to do anything to protect their link to one another as he was.
…
The morning's beams burst through the closed curtains, blinding Blair as she opened her eyes, immediately regretting she had. She hid her face closer to Jacob's heated body, hiding from the unwelcomed brightness. He chuckled softly, the noise echoing through his form. He pulled the covers away from her face and scooted away from her, letting the sunshine awake her half sleeping figure.
"Urg, Jake why did you move?" she whined as she peeked at him with one open eye.
"The sun is shining and the birds are chirping, wishing you a special happy seventeenth birthday." He announced proudly, already knowing how she felt about the constant reminder.
"Don't say that phrase. You know I don't want to do anything." she argued as she rolled on to her back, her eyes fully adjusted to the bright environment.
"I don't want to hear that again. We have to do something." He insisted stubbornly, trying to win over his unreasonable companion.
"Why can't you accept my decision? I do not want to do anything on this tragic day." She defended as she sat up, stretching her arms above her head.
"Come on, Blair, this is really important to me, I want to celebrate a special day with you." He pleaded, eyes growing wide, lips forming into a complete pout, his features sketched with plea, begging Blair to allow him to do what he desired and in the end knowing she would fully enjoy what he had planned.
"All right." she surrendered, "why do I give in so easily?" Blair plopped back down on the bed, her hair spreading on the pillow as she sighed with irritation, no one really listened to her wants, constantly persisting to proceed to do what would please them, leaving her alone with nothing fulfilled. She immediately shook her head, ridding her mind of the selfish thoughts, Jacob was trying to do something that would bring happiness to her and she knew she would not regret giving into his sly demand.
"Because you love me." He declared as he climbed on top of her, propping himself on the backs of his legs, putting little pressure on her.
"…sure…" she shrugged, teasing her huge pet, feeling he needed a little punishment for pulling the expression that always melted her heart and left her vulnerable to him.
"What's that supposed to me?" he asked, placing his hands on either side of her face, blocking her possible exits.
"I was agreeing with you." she smiled innocently, fully realizing what she was doing to him with her modest playful ways.
"You were quite hesitant for a moment." He said, lowering his face, his lips a few centimeters from her own, his hot breath creating tingling sensations on the full, dull pink flesh.
"I love you." she said, the tension between them too much for her to bear.
"That's better." He smirked as he planted his lips on hers, always enjoying the light touches exchanged in different ways.
The tip of his tongue playfully grazed her bottom lip, requesting permission for entrance. She gasped, not expecting the kiss to heat up so early in the morning. He took advantage of his position and slipped into her mouth, tasting strawberries within her moist cavern. Enjoying herself, she wrapped her arms around his brawny neck, deepening the kiss. Both fighting for dominance, she succumbed to her unwilling surrender and permitted Jacob to ravish her with hot, little kisses along her cheek, down the soft curve of her jaw and along the responsive flesh of her neck. A soft moan escaped her swollen lips; her breathing became ragged as he slowly continued the zealous kiss.
They soon broke apart, each breathing heavily as their hearts raced, a thin blanket of sweat covered heated flesh. Still feeling energized, she yanked Jacob back into their lip lock, enjoying herself further. Jacob was surprised by her gesture but didn't stop himself from responding with the same intensity. Sparks burst within them as they broke from one another once more, sucking in oxygen from their deprived lungs.
"Mmmm…that was a nice little present." Blair beamed, gazing at Jacob's beautiful chocolate eyes, holding limitless love for her.
"Definitely." He smiled, pecking her ruby lips.
Glancing at the digital clock sitting on the nightstand, Blair groaned not wanting to get ready for school even though it was her birthday. Her father would never allow her to skip a day, even on a special day.
"I need to get ready for school." she moaned with irritation, running her fingers through her tangled hair, removing strands away from her face.
"Want me to help you get ready?" he suggested with a smirk. She immediately blushed and pushed passed him, scurrying to her closet.
"Well, I better get back anyway. I'll see you tonight." He said, giving her one more passionate kiss before leaping out the usually opened window and escaped into the wilderness.
Unenthusiastically, she grabbed a pair of jeans, a purpled long sleeved shirt and blue converse. Changing out of her pajamas, she put the outfit on and proceeded towards the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and hair, deciding to leave her long locks down. She grabbed her backpack and jacket; skipping down the stairs she entered the kitchen feeling completely empty of food. Blair grabbed a bagel out of the breadbox, splitting the bread apart, she nibbled on the outside, gradually working her way towards the middle. She was about to head out the door when someone tapped her shoulder.
"You didn't think you would leave here without me telling you happy birthday, did you, B?" he chuckled as Blair turned to face him, deeply regretting she had not been quieter with her footing and noticing his arm hidden behind his back.
He handed her a small black fuzzy box, a white bow taped on top. She glanced at him with frustration; he had not respected her requests as usual.
"Dad, I told you I didn't want any presents." she repeated again.
"Well, I didn't buy it. I've had this for a long time, so that doesn't really count." He smiled his natural friendly grin that could brighten anyone's day even his annoyed teenage daughter.
"Shoot, a loop whole. You've foiled my plans." she joked as she popped the lid up, eyes sparkling with astonishment as to what was inside.
Genuine pearl earrings sat snuggle in between tight folds. She ran her thin fingers over the smooth surface, amazed at how beautiful they looked and sparkled in the unrelenting sunshine. She glimpsed up at her father, his joy spreading on his aging face. Laugh lines appeared as his grin spread wider, completely happy to witness his little girl radiating with joy.
"Those belonged to your great, great grandmother. I was going to save them until you got married but I figured why not give them to you now." He shrugged.
"Oh, thank you so much." she wrapped her arms around George, he still towered over his growing child but one day that could all change.
"Your welcome, now get to school before you're late, birthday girl." He humored, giving her a quick hug and shoved her out the front door.
Blair didn't question his actions; she hopped into my truck, obeying her father's commands. Peeking in the rearview mirror, the small box still in hand, she decided to change her earrings, flashing her exceptional birthday gift. She stuck her original pair of studs in the small box, stuffing the object in the glove box where she knew it would be safe. Sticking the key in the ignition and turning, the truck came to life, hesitating to turn on for a moment. She backed out of the typically muddy driveway and continued along to school.
…
She pulled into the first spot she found, exited the vehicle, everything she needed for the day packed in her backpack. She walked through the entrance, meeting up with Darla who regularly sat on the same bench near the cafeteria, nose pressed to the interesting pages of a new book she was always reading. She sat down next to her, dropping her bag on the concrete flooring. Darla had yet to acknowledge her presence; Blair cleared her throat announcing her arrival. Darla ripped her eyes from the page, brightening up once she knew who the person was which had interrupted her concentration.
"Hey, Blair, I didn't see you." Darla confessed, a light blush crawling on her cheeks.
"I noticed. So, are you ready to head to class?" Blair asked, slinging her backpack over one shoulder.
"Yeah." She replied, putting her book away and joining her on their long journey to English. "By the way, happy birthday!"
"Shhh…you don't need to mention it." she warned, sticking her index finger in front of her lips.
"Blair, it's nothing to be ashamed of, everybody ages at some point in their lives." She giggled, acting happier than before at Blair's expense.
"I can think of some who don't." she thought silently to herself, adjusting the strap of the bag.
Suddenly Alice, Edward's youngest sister, zipped down the stairs, Jasper following closely behind her. She soon appeared in front of Blair, her short, black, pixie hair nicely styled, her pale skin having an unnatural brightness.
"Darla, I'll catch up with you, soon." Blair said, hinting she needed some privacy with her new company.
"Sure, see ya." Darla waved as she walked down the hall alone.
"I just wanted to wish you happy birthday!" Alice exclaimed, thrusting a box into her hands.
"Alice, I told you I didn't want anything." she opposed.
"Just open it. I already saw that you loved it. So here you go." She persisted; her ability to see into the future still amazed Blair.
"Fine, just to make you happy." Blair kidded, losing the lid off the box to reveal a beautiful dress. "Oh, Alice I love it."
Feeling completely happy, Blair wrapped her arms around Alice's small structure, exchanging a gentle embrace.
"It's nice but when will I be able to wear this?" she wondered out loud.
"You can wear it out with Jacob tonight when you go to dinner." Alice sang.
"How'd you know…?" she fell silent, already knowing the answer to her obvious question.
"Have a good day, Blair." She said, giving one last hug before she left, dragging Jasper behind her.
"Happy birthday." Jasper said shyly as he passed her quickly.
"Thanks." she giggled, continuing on her way to class, knowing the rest of the day would be nothing short of congratulations on turning another year older.
