Chapter 3

As soon as I stepped into the Cullen household Alice was ready with the camera.

"Thanks for blinding me Alice: I remarked as I instinctively began rubbing my eyes.

"Oh you're quite welcome Bella," she replied as she forced me into a hug, "Happy birthday."

"Thanks."

"Happy Birthday Bella," Esme and Carlisle greeted me with a hug.

"Thank you," I replied. Alice grabbed my hand and let me to the couch. Everywhere I looked I saw pink. I felt my stomach become more nauseous by the second. Pink streamer, pink balloons, pink wrapping paper for the gifts. Gifts? Ugh I told them not too. Rosalie entered the room from the kitchen with Emmett holding a huge three layer pink cake.

"Thank you all so much," I began, "But you really shouldn't have."

"Oh stop Bella dear it was nothing." Carlisle replied, "We haven't had a birthday to celebrate in eighty years. Here open our gift first this is from me and Esme"

"Thank you," I replied taking the envelope. I opened up the card and found two plane tickets to South America. "South America?"

"Your looking as pale as us Bella, besides you and Edward need some alone time. I am lending you my island for a vacation."

"Thank you so much." I walked forward and gave both Esme and Carlisle a big hug. When I let go of them I was greeted by Alice.

"This is from Jasper and me." I took the present out of her hand and opened up the huge box. Inside was a picture frame with a picture of me and Alice. The frame said best friends forever I picked it up and smiled. Next to the picture frame was a pair of black dress with black strappy heels I also found a copy of play tickets to go see Romeo and Juliet.

"Alice this is too much."

"Nonsense. You're my bestie Bella you're lucky I held back that much." Yes I am I thought to myself.

"Bella babe I was going to give you me for your birthday but rose would a been upset, Edward I can take but rose's tude I can't" Emmet began laughing, "So I got you the next best thing."

"And what's that," I laughed

"A sweet sound system for your ride."

"My truck already had a new stereo Edward put it in last month."

Edward and Emmet both grinned.

"Not that ride bells." Edward began. He took my hand and led me out to their garage. "This ride." I looked in the garage and saw a beautiful light blue Volvo.

"Edward I can't accept this. This too much way way too much. I can't let you spend that kind of money on me."

"My love money is not an issue and I do not feel safe with you driving this truck. I cannot return the car so you may as well use it."

I have never been so frustrated with him. Ever. How could he buy me a car? I would never be able to give him anything like that. I felt the tears swell up in my eyes. I guess he noticed them too. Edward grabbed me and pulled me into a hug.

"What's wrong my love this is a happy moment?'

"I could never give you anything like this. You all have spent so much on me and I can't give anything back."

"Loving me is enough Bella. The only thing I will ever need from you is your love. "

I grabbed his hand and he led me back inside. I went over to the refreshment table and saw that even the glass glasses had a pink tint. Ugh Alice. I poured some soft drink and headed back over towards Edward. Alice was ready to cut the cake. On my way there I somehow tripped over my shoes and I met the floor face first. It all happened so fast. One minute I am walking the next I see the floor coming at my face. I landed with a thus and felt the glass in my hand shatter. It wasn't till I saw the look on jaspers face that I saw the blood trickling down my arm. Oh no. This can't be good.

I heard a low growl and turned my head to see Jasper leap toward me, before he had the chance to get to me Edward body slammed him to the ground. While Edward was wrestling Jasper, the rest of the Cullen's excluding Carlisle left the room. Carlisle took me and led me to his office.

"I'm so sorry." I began, "Jasper …"

"Do not apologize Bella," Carlisle said as he cut me off. "If anyone should be apologizing it should be me. You were put in danger tonight because of one of my sons."

"It was an accident. He can't help it. I know how he struggles. I should have been more careful. I am so stupid and clumsy. Where's Edward?"

"He'll be right in as soon as I am finished sewing you up."

"Ok"

Carlisle finished the stitches and cleared away the blood. I sat there in the chair in his office while I waited for Edward to come in. When Edward finally came in his face was full of worry and hurt. He sat down next to me and took my hands into his hands and nestled his face into my neck.

"I am so sorry Bella."

"Don't be its not your fault/"

"I put your life into danger time and time again."

"Edward stop you didn't do anything. "

"You almost died Bella. If Jasper had gotten to you he would have killed you."

"Well then at least I would be a vampire and be able to be with you forever."

"You don't want this life Bella."

"If it means being with you forever then yes I do."

"You don't know what you're saying.

Seeing that it was pointless to argue with him I decided to change the subject. "How is Jasper?" I asked.

"He is ok considering. He feels extremely horrible and cannot bear to face you right now. "

"I'm not mad"

"I know that. He is more upset with himself. He is the one that struggles with our lifestyle the most. He will be ok Alice is with him. "

I got up out of the chair and pulled Edward up with me. "I'm ready to go home. "

"Ok" he replied. He took my hand and helped me gather the gifts and take them out to my new car. I told everyone goodbye and had Edward drive me home. The whole way there he barely said two words to me and this scared me more than Jasper's almost attack.

"Edward what's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm not good for you Bella. This is the last you will see of me."

"Edward NO what are you talking about." I screamed.

"I'm leaving Bella."

"Don't you love me? " I asked tears pouring out of my eyes. He parked my car and got out. "Edward?'

"No Bella. I do not love you. This is a mistake everything was a mistake." And with that he turned and was gone.

"Edward!" I screamed. "Edward." I was too late. He was gone. Gone for good. I started to run toward the direction of his house and panic overtook me. I fell to the ground and let the darkness take over.
