Lindsay's POV
We got to Seth's house, and he dug in his pockets until he produced a key. He unlocked the door and we walked inside.
"Ok, our movies are over there," he said, pointing to a shelf. "And I'm going to go change real quick, so pick out any movie you want." He walked up the stairs, and I walked to the shelf. I decided on one of my favorites, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (The real one with Jim Carrey, not the cartoon,) when Seth came down the stairs wearing jeans and a t-shirt.
"Have you decided on a movie?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said, and handed him the movie.
"Oh, I love this one!" he said. "Dr. Suess movies are the best."
"You read my mind," I said, and he put it in the DVD player. Then he sat next to me on the couch and put his arm around me. I smiled up at him before resting my head on his shoulder. I felt warm and safe with him next to me. We watched the movie, and laughed our guts out. When the movie was over, it was only eight.
"Up for a walk on the beach?" he asked.
"Um, sure," I said. At first, I thought about the weather, but then remembered, Seth had enough body heat for both of us. He led me out the door and down the beach, the sand cool under my feet. Suddenly, we stopped. He pulled me over to him, and took out a blindfold.
"Um, what's that for?" I asked.
"Birthday surprise," he replied and put the blindfold on me.
"Don't let me trip," I said, and let him lead me down the beach.
"Ok," he said, and took off the blindfold. I looked to see Destiny, Embry, Garrett, Leah, Kellie, Bryce, Bailey, Daniel, Summer, Drew, Nessie, Jake, and all of the Cullen's, even Rosalie, standing around a huge bonfire, with a sign that said Happy 17th Birthday Lindsay.
"What? I thought you all forgot," I said, taking in my surroundings.
"How could we forget?" asked Destiny.
"Yeah, you're our best friend," said Kellie, smiling.
"Thank you guys, so much," I said, hugging them all, starting with Kellie and Destiny. I even hugged Jake. Then I moved to the Cullen's, hugging them all, and even Rose hugged me. I was in shock.
"This isn't going to be a normal thing, but Happy Birthday," she whispered.
"Thanks," I replied, and went back to the entire group.
"So, what first?" asked Destiny.
"Ok," Alice said, going into party planner mode. "We brought hotdogs, and a pack of veggie dogs for the brave or vegetarian." She smiled at me. "Then we have red velvet cake, Lindsay's favorite."
"You guys are the best," I said, and everyone smiled at me. We began to roast hotdogs, a veggie dog for me, and I was the only one that ate one.
"Jeez, they're not bad," I said. "They're actually really good."
"I'll try one," said Leah, and we passed her the pack. She roasted it, and while she did so, all eyes were on her. Finally, she took it out, put it in a bun with ketchup, and took a bite.
"Hey these aren't bad," she said. "This actually tastes like a hotdog."
"Let me try one," said Seth. He repeated Leah's routine, and took a bite. "Eh, they're ok," was all he said, and handed me the rest. Nobody else was brave enough to try one after Garrett gagged on his.
"These are awful!" he said. "How do you eat this crap?"
"Like this," I said, and took a bite of the 'crap' he called my food, and everyone laughed.
"Ok, no more veggie dogs for anyone. Time for cake," Alice said, and lit 17 candles on an extremely extravagant red velvet cake.
"Ok, Lindsay," she said. "Make a wish."
What could I wish for? I had awesome friends, found true love, my dream car, rain almost every day, (I like the rain) and since the Cullens were like my second family, two great families to live with. So, I made my wish for Sam and Emily's marriage to be perfect. Everyone clapped.
"What did you wish for," asked Destiny.
"If I tell you, it won't come true," I said.
"Not that crap! Everyone is so superstitious these days," she replied and everyone laughed.
"Seriously, what
did you wish for?" asked Garrett, and soon everyone was asking
me.
"Ok, fine. Call me crazy, but I wished for Sam and Emily's
marriage to be perfect," I said.
"Wow you are crazy," said Jake, and Nessie hit him.
"I think its sweet, wishing for someone else," Nessie said.
"Well, I already felt like I have everything I need right here, so why should I wish for myself, when I have nothing to wish for?" I said.
"Awww," everyone said.
"Group hug moment!" yelled Garrett, and soon I was being crowded by everyone at the party and pulled into the biggest group hug I've ever been in. When they finally let go, I took a really deep breath.
"Finally, air," I said, and everyone laughed.
"Cake time! Red velvet with cream cheese frosting," said, Alice, and started to cut the cake.
"CHEESE!" yelled Summer, and everyone laughed. Jake looked at Drew, and raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, she might be a freak, but she's my freak," said Drew, pulling Summer closer to him, and she giggled. Finally cake was passed out to everyone, and I began to eat.
"Alice this is really awesome," I said.
"Thanks, Bella made it," she said.
"Wow, Bella, this is absolutely amazing," I said.
"Thanks," she replied, and I had the feeling that if she could blush, she'd be as red as the cake. We all finished our cake, and threw away all of our trash.
"So who's up for some games?" asked Jake.
"What games?" I asked.
"YATZEE!" Summer yelled.
"Shut up!" yelled everyone.
"Dang it," she said.
"It's Lindsay's birthday, she should choose," said Edward.
"Well, I think we should play," I looked around, thinking. "JESSE!"
"Jesse?" asked everyone. I got up and ran over to my 14 year old brother, who was walking down the beach. He'd been at boarding school for over a year in Nevada. He hated the rain, so he stayed in Nevada when we moved. I hugged him tightly.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I missed you all too much, so I'm taking the second semester here," he said.
"Oh my gosh," I
said, hugging him again. "Come here, you have to meet my friends."
I led him back to the beach.
"Ok, so you know Kellie,
Destiny, Summer, Bailey, Daniel, Drew, Bryce, and Garrett," I
began.
"Hey guys," he said.
"Hey," all of them responded.
"And this is Embry, Destiny's boyfriend, Leah, Garrett's girlfriend, Jake and Nessie, they're together, and the Cullen family, Carlisle and Esme, Emmett and Rosalie, Jasper and Alice, and Edward and Bella," I said, pointing out each one individually. "And Seth, my boyfriend." After everyone was introduced, we decided on truth or dare. After a few rounds, it was around midnight, and everyone went home.
"Thank you, for the best birthday ever," I said before everyone left. "You guys are awesome."
Then there was another group hug. Seth took Jesse and I home, and I kissed him goodnight. I went inside, dreaming about the best birthday ever.
