Ohkay… hey.:) Here's chapter three! I'm soooooo sorry it took me so long. I couldn't really think of anything to write. So, in this chapter, Leah and everyone comes in. This is like a huge party, but Bella doesn't know why. Well… she knows… she just forgot. But you can't blame her… she just finally got her personality back. So… on to the chapter!

P.S.: To tembalina… October is Rosalie.:)

Disclaimer: Everything belongs to Steph… I really wish it didn't, though.

After Paul let go of me and just put an arm around my waist, I started thinking… why is everyone here, anyways?

"Um… Dad? Why is everyone here, anyways?" I asked.

Charlie looked awe-struck. "You… forgot? You don't know what today is?"

"Um… Wednesday?"

"Yeah… but it is also April 16th, you know… Leah's birthday? They should be here soon," Charlie said back, still staring at me like I was crazy.

Wait… today is… OHMIGOSH. TODAY IS LEAH ELIZABETH CLEARWATER'S BIRTHDAY. My best friend since we were kids… AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE A PRESENT.

Before I had a chance to say anything, Quil starts complaining.

"Wait, wait, wait… hold up. Lemme get this straight. Embry and I came here to celebrate Leah Clearwater's birthday? Jacob, why didn't you tell us?"

"I didn't know either! Dad, come on… you know that Leah doesn't like anyone… why would she want to celebrate her birthday? And why the hell would SAM be here?" Jacob whined.

Before Billy had a chance to say anything, I chimed in, "Um, hello? Do you have no heart? LEAH IS MY BEST FRIEND, AND NO ONE WILL TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT. UNDERSTAND?" I was pissed. I hate when people talk smack about her.

Everyone looked scared. Woah… where did that come from? I guess I'm going feel every emotion all in one day.

"Uh, ohkay, Bella. Wh-whatever you say," Quil stuttered. Whoops…

"Awh yeah! That's my girl! Set 'em straight, sis!" Paul cheered from the other side of the room. What a dumb-ass.

"Shut up, Paul. I didn't mean to," I rolled my eyes at him.

"Hey, everybody, shush," Sam suddenly said. "I think I hear Harry's truck. Bella, maybe you should go upstairs and surprise her?"

"Right, good idea," I said, then practically ran up the stairs. I couldn't wait to see my long-lost best friend!

When I heard the doorbell ring, I just wanted to run downstairs and tackle Leah to the ground, but I didn't. I wanted this to be more of a surprise.

"Harry! Good to see you! Why, hello, Sue. You are looking very nice this evening. Seth! Come here, boy! Aah, I haven't seen you in so long! You've gotten taller! How old are you now? 25? 15? Really? You could so pass for older. And here she is, the birthday girl. Hello Miss Leah, you look very pretty today." Oh Charlie, how I love you so.

"Uh, thanks," was what I heard from Leah, and I hated how she said it. She sounded so… dead. Was that how I sounded? Oh my… we're just going to have to fix that! I couldn't take it anymore, I had to go downstairs.

I tried to be as quiet as possible, and it was working, surprisingly. I peeked around the corner, and saw Leah standing in the middle of the living room. She looked like she didn't want to be here. Well, she's in for a big surprise!

"Hey! Birthday chick! Yeah, you! Leah Elizabeth! YES, it's me!" then the entire room was filled with the sound of two high pitched screams and jumping. Everyone covered their ears, and whoever was in my way to get to Leah moved, as I ran right toward her and tackled her to the ground.

"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, MISSY!" Leah shouted at me when I got off of her.

"You know, that's what everyone has been asking me that today, and I don't know why. I mean, I've been here the entire time," I said, trying to be a smartass.

"…Shut up, Swan," Leah laughed back.

"Never, Clearwater."

"Well, it's this such a lovely reunion. Bella is back, and now Leah is too! What's next? Am I finally going to get that day off now, Sam? Pleaaase? I've been asking yo-"

"SHUT UP, PAUL!" Leah and I shouted simultaneously at Paul.

Thank-you guys for being patient with me. I know, I suck cow balls.:( I'll try my hardest next time to actually update on time! Stupid school, I never sleep during the week. Thankgoodness for Spring Vacation this upcoming week. I'll try my hardest to update a lot this week. OH, random fact, today is my brother's 17th birthday. I know, right? He's getting old.:P So, I just thought it'd be cool if Leah's birthday was today. So, my new calendar person of the month, Bella, and I, bid you adieu!:)

P.S.: I'm really sorry this is so short. I kinda felt bad for not updating, so I wanted to get this out quick.:P
