Bella's Reincarnation
Chapter Nine: Birthday
Bella's POV
I woke up because I heard a knock at the door. "Come in!" I said. "Happy birthday, honey!" dad said. He looked really happy. Wow! Time flies so fast that I didn't even realize that it's my birthday. "Thanks, dad!" I said. "You look a little surprised there honey." he said. "Well, I actually forgot that it's my birthday." I said. "Well, you better get ready for school. Edward's almost here." he said. "Okay, dad." I said.
Then, I realized that today, I'm officially older than Edward. Uh! This is not very good.
After I got ready, someone knocked on the door. Dad answered the door. "Bella, Edward's here." he said. "'Kay, dad. I'm coming." I said. I cleaned my plate and then I went to the door. Then, I kissed dad on the cheek. "Bye, dad!" I said. Edward opened the car door for me and I happily got in.
On the way to school, Edward was smiling. "Happy birthday, love!" he said. "Thanks!" I said. "I have a gift for you, love." he said. "Thanks! But that's not really necessary." I said. "I know, love. But it would be unfair for me if everyone you love can give you a gift but I'm not allowed." he said. "I know, but you gave me yourself and nothing could top that." I said. Then, he handed me a small box. "Open it, love." he said. When I opened it, it contained a charm bracelet with a heart shaped diamond. "Edward, I love it!" I said. "It's a representation of me and like it, my heart is yours." he said.
When we arrived at school, Edward opened the door for me. While I was going out the car, I checked if anyone is watching. Since no one is watching, I kissed Edward. "Not that I'm complaining, but what was that for, love?" he said. "Thank you and my heart is yours too." I said. He smiled widely at that.
When we entered the school, Edward and I talked. "Love, Alice wants to throw a party for your birthday." he said. "What?" I said. I'm so surprised with that. But before I could respond, the rest of the Cullens arrived. They all greeted me happy birthday and I thanked them. "Alice, please don't throw a party." I said. "Bella, trust me it would be fun. It's only us." she said. "Alice, you're already planning our wedding. Please, I don't want to have a party." I whispered. "But Bella, Edward is planning your honeymoon and all I can do is help. Please Bella, let me have my fun." Alice said softly. She also gave me a pout. I looked at Edward for help. He was just smiling at me, clearly amused. "Fine Alice! You can throw a party for me." I said. "Thank you, Bella! You won't regret this." she said. "Okay!" I said. Then, Edward kissed me because I'll be with Rosalie for first period.
When the final bell rang signaling that we could already go home, I had a flashback. It was my birthday party. It was going great but then I got a paper cut. After that everything turned upside down.
When my flashback ended, I realized that Edward left because of the disastrous birthday. I talked about it with Edward. He promised me he'll never leave me and that he'll protect me.
We went to my house first to call mom because she left me a lot of messages. Then we went to the Cullens'. Alice and Rose dressed me up. We had a little party. All of them gave me presents. Everything went smoothly but I noticed that all of them were very cautious and Edward never let me out of his sight. I guess they didn't want what happened before to repeat.
When the party ended, I was really happy. I had a lot of fun. I also noticed that the Cullens looked really happy when nothing happened to me. "Thanks! I really enjoyed this." I told all of them. "Oh, honey, it was no problem. We enjoyed it too." Esme said. "I guess I better bring her home." Edward said. "Ok, son. You two be careful, ok?" Carlisle said. "Ok, dad!" Edward said.
Our drive home is very quiet. We weren't talking but we were both happy. Edward was even smiling pretty wide.
When we arrived at my house, dad noticed our arrival so he went out to greet us. I finally noticed the time and it's already late at night. Good thing that today is Friday and we have no classes tomorrow. "Hey, kids! Did you both have fun?" dad said. "Yeah, dad! It was great." I said. "Well, sir, I have to go home now. Bye, Bella!" Edward said. "Okay, drive home safe." dad said. Then, dad entered the house to give us privacy. "Edward, do you really have to go? Please don't leave me!" I said. I sounded desperate but I really need him. "Love, I won't leave you forever, remember? I'll see you in your room, okay?" he said. Then, he kissed me. I tried to deepen our kiss and he was okay with it so I kept going. Then, I had to pull away to breathe. He was smiling at me. "Love, you have to go in now. You're dad is planning to go out. I'll just wait for you upstairs." he said. "Okay!" I said.
When I entered our house, I said goodnight to dad. Then, I went to take a bath.
After my bath, I went to my room. As promised, Edward was there waiting for me. We talked for a while and I told him about my most current flashback and my fear. We settled it. We also kissed for a long time before I went to bed.
So far, this is the best birthday ever!
I slept peacefully that night knowing that Edward would stay with me forever.
