"Okay I'm here what is it?" I saw Edward looking pissed and Bella trying to calm him. Everyone else was probably hiding from the wrath of Edward.

"You told me that you and Jacob didn't do anything." "We didn't," I defended myself "Then why do I see in your thoughts that you did?"

"What were you doing in my head in the first place? Is my word not good enough" I spat at him. "You will watch you tone now explain."

"You know you're lucky I can only be a teenager for like a minute." "Well," "Well, we were kissing and then he tried to lift my shirt. I didn't want to go that far." I said looking down.

"You see Edward I told you that she would never." Bella scolded. She came up and hugged me. "I'm sorry I accused you I'm just protective of you is all." He came up and hugged me too.

I finally knew what it was like to have a real family.

Today Jake and I are supposed to get Alice's gift. I ran over to Jake's house and used the key he gave me to get in. I walked in and heard the shower running.

I put my purse on the counter and started to make him breakfast.

I made him an omelet with bacon, cheese and onions. He loved those freaking onions. I set it on the table and went to lay on the bed and relax. He walked in the room and I heard his heartbeat quicken.

I immediately knew. "Grab a towel please or get dressed." I said. I heard him leave the room and come back. "Well surprise surprise," I said with a smile in my voice.

"Oh what brings you here stranger?" he asked. "Nothing other than the usual, can I open my eyes now?" I whined. "Go ahead," He sounded smug.

I opened my eyes and saw Jake walk out the room. "You cook me dinner and breakfast and I pay you back by?" "Coming with me to buy Alice's birthday gift so I can keep it a surprise."

When I finished my sentence I went and sat on his lap and kissed him. I stared into his beautiful brown eyes and saw pain. "Jake what's wrong," "Nothing,"

He got better at lying to me but I didn't push the topic.

Today is finally Alice's birthday. Jake and I set up the party and everything. She was so surprised when she walked through the door. I got her a pair of earrings that had the day she married Jasper on them.

I figured that was the happiest day of her life. She loved them. And she was still shocked that I surprised her. That was a night well planned.

Today was my 18th birthday I was finally an adult. I was at home doing stupid homework. Alice promised me she wouldn't throw me a party or anything like that.

I finished my homework and I was listening to my iPod. There was knock on the door. "Coming," I shouted I opened the door it was Jake. "Hi! Jake," I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him quickly.

"Hey following Jake birthday girl, I've got something for you but it's at my house. I came to just pick you up. So let's go," I walked out and followed Jake to La Push.

I had to keep my eyes closed Jake wanted to surprise me and all. "We're here," he said excited. I opened my eyes. "Surprise," everyone screamed. It was all my wolf friends.

They threw me a party. "Thank you, guys," They all picked on me like usual. We were at the beach and they had decorated it with party favors, everywhere was the number 18.

I looked up and saw the cliff. I smiled. Jake saw me and asked "You want to cliff dive?" "Yes I do, race you there." I said and I was off. I reached the top took off my clothed except my bra and panties and I jumped.

Jake wasn't far behind me. I hit the water and felt exhilarated. I swam back to the shore and dried a little and sat down Indian style by the fire they started.

Jake joined me a couple minutes afterwards. He sat next to me drenched. "That was fun," he said looking at me with his beautiful brown eyes. He looked really excited today.

"Yea it was we'll do it again in a couple minutes right?" "Anything you want babe." Babe? That's the first time he's ever called me that. "Cool," we spent the rest of the night laughing and having fun.

We all went cliff diving a couple more times. We all jumped together the last time and made a huge splash. Jake got me a towel and he set it on my shoulders and sat next to me.

Quil of course brought a bag of marshmallows and they all roasted them. "Hey Quil," I said waiting for him to look. "What," he said with a mouthful of marshmallows I chucked a marshmallow at him.

He grabbed another one and threw it at me next thing I know we were having a fully fledged food fight. "Hey I'm the birthday girl don't I get a break?" I said to everyone.

They all stopped and starred at me and they attacked me with marshmallows, chocolate and soda. Jake was sitting there laughing. "Jake what are you laughing at you're covered in soda."

"What are you talking…" he was cut off by me dumping a 2-liter of soda on his head. When it was empty I ran but he got me down to the floor. "Jake I was playing, we're cool right?" I said while laughing a little.

"Cooler than ice," he poured a 3- liter on me and chocolate syrup. "Okay Jake you win," He got off me and smiled triumphantly. I stuck my tongue out at him. "Okay this was fun guys but I think I should get home before Edward has a cow."

I started my way back up the cliff but Jake stopped me. "Why do you always forget about my gifts?" he asked acting offended. "Oh sorry Jake," "Close your eyes, stick out your hands and spread out your fingers."

I did as I was told I felt him slide a ring on my left hand. All the guys stayed silent. Leah gasped. "Open your eyes," I looked down Jake had put a ring on my left ring finger.

"Jake it's beautiful," Jake suddenly got down on one knee and I realized where this was going. "Alexa Lanelle Cullen, will you marry me?" I can't believe this Jake just proposed to me.

My mind was racing until it hit me. I frowned. "Jake I don't think I'm ready for that," Jake stood up and questioned. "I thought you loved me," "Jake I do but I'm not ready," Jake started to walk away.

"Wait Jake," I said. He stared at me like he was about to cry. "Jake please don't do this," "Why so you can break my heart like Bella?" "Jake listen I'm not leaving you I'm just not ready," I was pleading for him to under stand.

"Whatever, keep the damn ring I'm done." he turned away and left. Leah came and comforted me. "I guess I'm going home guys," I started to walk away but stopped in tracks.

"My clothes! Alice will kill me for leaving them here and Edward would kill me for coming home in just a bra and panties." I said as I ran up the cliff to grab my clothes and ran back.

I walked in the door and ran straight to my room and changed my clothes and sat on the couch. I relaxed all my muscles and let my mind wander freely. I hadn't realized but I was in a shield but I didn't care.

I was trying not to bounce off the walls. Bella walked in I hadn't noticed until she cleared her throat. "Sorry, I was thinking a little, I guess." I said in a monotone voice.

Alice appeared in my room in seconds and comforted me. "Tell me what happened sweetie." "Well Jake and all of them threw me a birthday party. We all were having fun.

And then Jake proposed to me. But I told him I wasn't ready. And he got mad and walked off." "Oh sweetie it'll be okay," Alice said while rubbing soothing circles on my back.

"I thought you loved him?" Bella said. "I do, but I don't think I'm ready for marriage. Why doesn't he understand that?" I said between dry sobs.

I stayed in my room for awhile and then went downstairs to hang out with my family. I had a feeling that Jake wasn't going to get over this very soon. So I guess I'll just have to go on with life.
