A/N: This is a diary Bella writes during New Moon. The whole story isn't going to follow the original story line though, just the beginning.

Dear Diary,

Today was great. Well, for the most part it was, or maybe not. It was an insignificant day I call my Birthday. Ugh. I could live without those. What is the purpose, honestly? I don't get it. I think it was God's way of punishing me. After all he had to balance the scales somehow. I was getting extremely luck lately. Dating Edward was too good to be true; I guess it had to balance out somewhere.

Anyways, I met with Edward and Alice today at school. Alice was practically bouncing off the walls with excitement. Apparently the Cullen Family had planned a party for me tonight, against my pleading not to. They knew I hated being the center of attention. It usually made me even clumsier then I normally am which is saying something. Oh well, I don't think they'll ever learn.

School went way too fast. I really hate parties, in case I haven't mentioned that already. It couldn't have been time for the party faster, unfortunately. Soon enough, Edward was driving me to their house in the woods. It was totally decked out in twinkle lights and roses. Alice had obviously been busy after school. Or not actually, with her vampire speed it probably only took a few minutes. She put so many human caterers to shame.

The party was actually pretty fun for the most part. They went all out and even made a cake (it was made well enough to have come from Pastry Perfection, I might add). They sang Happy Birthday perfectly, and then it was time for presents.

That, of course, is where it all went wrong. Me being the klutz I am slit my finger on the paper of the first present. Jasper looked like he was about to eat me, seriously. I was almost as scared as I had been when I was alone with James.

Edward sensed what he was about to do, and leaped towards me to block him. He knocked me backwards off my chair and I pulled the pile of plates with me. Edward started to catch me as the plates shattered under me. Jasper started at him again and he dropped me onto the plates.

I didn't get severely hurt, but a shard of glass pierced my forearm and drew blood quickly. Everyone but Carlisle froze and stared at me. I thought I was dead right then and there.

Edward snapped out of it as well as Alice and Esme, and they got the rest of the vampires outside. Carlisle had me sit in the kitchen as he fixed my arm.

Edward drove me home after that.

Yeah, I'd say that's about a normal day when you have a vampire for a boyfriend.
