Chapter 1, Part 2
The Birthday Party
I glared at him as my arms were crossed. "Whoa…" Emmett said in disbelief. I turned quickly but it was too late. Emmett had already discovered his birthday present, but I can't really blame him. It is kind of big. He had taken the sheet off the object and was just standing there with his mouth open. I worked so hard to build him his present that I almost flunked Literature. Since, you know you have to actually study it sometime, even if it is kind of annoying and whiney, like Romeo. The gift I worked so hard on was in fact a car. A very, very big car. As every one here knows, I am the best engineer in history! I'm even better than Rosalie, although she'd never admit it. Building cars was the concept that made us bond, without it, she would still be glaring at me all day long. We have a great relationship, but she still envies me on the whole 'I'm human' thing.
Anyway, I looked at the car that I had worked so hard on. It was my baby, but I knew 3 months ago when I started to build it that I would have to give it up soon. It would have been done a lot sooner but it took mw forever to get all the parts. My baby was spotless and the light from the twinkle lights that Alice had put up on the trees were being reflected by the car. It was by far the best car I've ever built. It was black with orange flames painted on either sides of the car. Then on the right, above the flames was the name "Rose" written Edwardian style in white. It was a jeep, duh! Who would ever give Emmett a small car? I smiled to myself at that, but nobody seemed to notice since they were all staring at the car in shock and astonishment.
The sealing was higher than usual, because of obvious reasons, and the Jeep was huge! It had a GPS system, built in computers, board games in the back and there was a small TV that played all the sports shows known to the US. On top of all that, the car also had a picture of Rose framed to the drivers side of the car. I had swiped that off of Alice. The seats were made of really soft material that I had found at a mattress company. It was the best car ever!!! I've been a star mechanic since I was 5. I know everything about anything that has to do with the subject. I built my 1st car when I was 14. Emmett's new car went as fast as 500 kilometers an hour. I made sure the engine worked as swiftly as a race cars' would. He will truly love this car.
I went up to Emmett and waved my hand in front of his face. "Earth to Cullen, can you hear me?" I asked him. He looked from the car to me, and then the only thing I felt was a gush of wind as I was knocked to the ground. I waited for the impact of the ground, but Edward had caught me before I fell and he glared at Emmett. He was sitting on the driver's seat, bouncing up and down. I smiled at him and then looked up at Edward. He was looking at me curiously.
"Are you hurt?" he said in a nervous tone. I shook my head quickly. "Good, now please excuse me as I go kill Emmett." He said, putting me down and glaring at the vampire in the jeep who was looking inspecting every corner of it. I shook my head as Edward got inside the Jeep and was about to pull Emmett out when I realized that the car was pretty strong but not enough to take a vampire wrestling fit. Just before Edward was about to shove Emmett, I yelled at them both.
"Not in the car!!" I run to it and open the driver's seat. "Both of you take it outside! No way are you fighting in here!" Edward jumped out of the car, pulling Emmett out as well. "Pay attention to where you go!" Edward yelled at Emmett, but before he could jump at him, I stood between them. They both took a step around me but I also took a step to be between them again. "Hi," I said to Edward, since I was facing him. He looked at me blankly before saying "Bella, love, move." "Nope," I said, enthusiastically while shaking my head. I turned around.
"Bella, I'm sorry I knocked you down," Emmett said, looking down as he said that. "I guess I was too anxious to get inside my present." He said, looking up. "It's okay," I said, I pushed myself in Edward's arms but they just fell numbly to his sides. I reached down and put them around my waist. He seemed to have shaken his head since I felt the movement. He bent down and kissed the top of my head. I smiled, "Good! Now, Emmett, do you like your present?" I asked Emmett, nervous. What if he doesn't like it?
"I LOVE IT!" he said as he ran back to the car and got inside. I smiled as Rosalie shook her head at Emmett. He was sitting at the driver's seat and acting like he was driving it, making motor noises and moving his arms as if he were really driving the car. He laughed and so did Alice and Esme. Everyone had finally gotten over the commotion. Jasper and Carlisle had gotten inside the car and were looking at the computers. Alice walked over to me, jumping.
"WOW! You have seriously out done yourself this time, Bella!" She said in her usual happy tone. I smiled at her and thanked her. Esme was talking to Rosalie as they came towards me. I slipped out of Edward's grip and then ran to them. "So what do you guys think?" I asked, enthusiastically. I smiled at them as Esme said; "It's fantastic dear. So very Emmett," I laughed at that, it was very Emmetty. Rosalie hugged me and then said; "Thank you so much. I can tell by the look of its size that you worked really hard on it. As you can see, Emmett loves it," she said this in a grateful and happy tone. She smiled at me and I smiled back. I walked back to Edward who was still standing where I left him.
"So, what do you think?" I asked him, his opinion is what really counted. Well, him and the person who I'm giving the car to. He took my hands and pulled me to him. He hugged me and the said; "Why come I didn't know you were building Emmett a car?" he said in an annoyed tone. "Well, because I wanted to do this on my own. I didn't want you to help like I know you would have." I said, thinking about why I made the decision to keep Edward out of this part of my daily activity, since I worked on the car almost everyday. "Why?" he asked, truly confused. I signed and said; "I wanted this on my own. I wanted this to be fully from me. I wanted to give him something he would not…. What's the word I'm looking for? Destroy? No, too harsh. Kill? No, also too harsh. Break? Yup, that's it! I wanted to give Emmett something he wouldn't break." I said, jumping when I came up with the perfect word to describe what Emmett does to his things.
Edward just rolled his eyes. I did the same and smiled. The men finally came out of the Jeep and walked over to me. Jasper, though, kept his distance. I wondered why, I really hated it when he would do that. Emmett was practically jumping with excitement. He had a huge smile on his face and it made me smile back at him. He picked me up and hugged me, really hard. He spun us around and hugged me harder if that was even possible. He thanked me over and over again, before I just couldn't breath anymore.
"Emmett, she's going blue! Put her down!" Alice yelled at him after seeing my face going from white to bight blue. Emmett quickly put me down and I gasped as the air entered my throat. I was laughing but trying to breath at the same time. Not very affective, if I can say that. I fell on the floor, still laughing and trying to breathe. I noticed that everyone was smiling, including Jasper; he had inched closer from his lean on a nearby tree. Edward picked me up from off the ground as I tried to calm down. Not working so much.
"I'm sorry," Emmett said as he laughed at my position, his booming laughter just made things worse. "In, out. In, out. Breath, Bella, Breath." Alice directed me; she was probably the only one who was that serious about me being in this state. Not even Edward could keep a smile off his face. "When can I drive it?" Emmett said, regaining his excited persona. I stood up straight and pulled out the small, wrapped box that I had previous ran away with in order to get him outside. I ran back inside but by the time I got 3 steps away, Emmett had ripped the box out of my hand.
"Ouch!" I yelled as the wrapping paper cut though the skin on my palm. About one drop oozed out and fell to the ground. I was too busy looking at the wound that I didn't see Jasper's face. The moment I looked up and said "Paper cut," Jasper was running towards me, but not before Edward cried "No!" Before I knew it, I was thrown into a tree 50 yards feet away by Edward and Jasper was pushed on to the Jeep, shattering the whole front glass and leaving a huge dent on the front of the car. One second later, Emmett was holding Jasper from the back by his arms while Jasper struggled, bit and tried to claw his way out of Emmett's grip. I fell to the ground and was on the floor; my hands were stuck to the ground, baked with blood and dirt, while my legs were in a tangle behind me. I was practically lying on my stomach except for my arms supporting me up, but my legs and feet were still on the ground. I felt tired and a little scared.
Esme and Alice were looking at me and then back at Jasper in shock and horror. Alice was the first to act; she went up to Jasper and put a hand on his face. "It's okay, honey. Calm down, its okay. It's okay," she tried to calm him but he was in vampire/hunting mode. He still tried to get out of Emmett's grip. Carlisle took charge of the situation. "Emmett, Rosalie get Jasper to the clearing," He said calmly, they nodded and tried to get Jasper to move. Alice went with her husband but not before apologizing to me, "I'm sorry, Bella," she said in a very sad tone, if vampires could cry, she probably would have. She left with her husband and Esme went with the; "I... I should go too. I'm sorry, Bella," she said in a heart breaking tone.
I looked up but my arms were so weak at this point that I couldn't raise my head for more than 5 seconds. I put my head on the ground. I tried to say something but I was just too tired. A second later, Edward was holding me up. He picked me off the ground and hugged me to his chest. "Where does it hurt?" he asked me with a worried expression. I just closed my eyes and let out a shaky breath. "I… I'm sorry. I didn't think I would do this to Jasper. Tell him I'm sorry, please," that was the only thing I said before I blacked out.
