Chapter 21

Bella P.O.V

Today is Angela's eighteenth birthday and Alice is throwing a party.

The accident with James happened three months ago and all of her injuries are completely healed now. Everyone's gotten close to the human except Rose, Jasper, Riley, and I.

Angela still wants to become like us. She basically begs Edward to change her. That makes me hate her.

She doesn't know what's she's giving up. Ageing, family, warmth, and children. There are many more things but she just won't listen.

Just then Edward pulled up. Were had all been sitting around waiting for him and the human. I had gotten her a present… that Alice picked out.

She walked through the door and instantly blushed at having all the attention.

"Happy birthday Angela." Alice squealed and hugged her.

"Thanks." Angela said.

"Let's take pictures." Alice said and pulled out a camera.

She took pictures of Edward and Angela. Angela, Carlisle, and Esme and even one with Angela and Emmet.

"Time for presents." Alice said.

I stepped forward and handed her the box.

"It's a bracelet." I said and stepped back into my Riley's arms.

Rose stepped forward next and handed Angela a box.

"It's a necklace, Alice picked it out." She said.

"Thanks." Angela said.

Emmet handed her the big empty box. She shook it.

"Thank Emmet." she said and we all cracked a

smile.

"It's a stereo. Already installed it in your truck." he said.

"This is from us sweetie." Esme said and handed her an envelope.

Angela went to open it.

"Ouch." she mumbled but all I could do was breath.

The scent hit me like a ton of bricks. I could feel my eyes darkening. Her blood.

"NO!" Edward roared and threw Angela into a table as Jasper shot forward and lunged.

Emmet and Riley grabbed Jasper and threw him backwards where he landed on the piano. He lunged again.

Rose and I grabbed his arms while Jasper grabbed his middle. Riley had his head and was growling since Jasper was snapping his teeth at me. Alice ran up at this time. She grabbed his face.

"Shhh Jasper. It's just a little…blood." she chocked out.

We all looked at the human again.

"Get Jasper outside." Carlisle said but we hesitated "GO!" he yelled as he saw our eyes darkening.

We pulled Jasper outside. Once outside he took off.

"He's going to hunt." Alice said.

"I am too." I said.

"I'll go with you." Rose said.

"What about you?" I asked Riley giving him my pout.

"You go ahead." he said kissing my pout.

Rose and I took off. We hunted for a while and then went home. Everyone was sitting at the table including Edward who had a grave look on his face.

I went straight to my Riley's lap and sat down. I noticed Rose doing the same. Riley automatically put his arms around me and pulled me to him almost painfully.

"We're leaving." Edward stated.

"Leaving?" Rose asked.

"We are to dangerous for Angela to be around. We're leaving and she's not going." he stated.

I growled and all heads snapped to me.

"Your just going to leave her here with the knowledge of what we are." I snarled at him.

"It's for her safety." he snarled back getting a growl out of Riley.

"After everything you just going to leave her." rose stated in disbelief.

"I have too." he said.

"Fine. We'll do it your way but don't come crying to me when you find out you made the wrong choice." I growled and went to go pack.

We all decided where we were going. Esme and Carlisle wanted to visit the Denali's and Edward was going with them.

Alice wants to go to fashion month in Paris, so that's where her and Jasper are going. I feel so sorry for Jasper sometimes.

Rose and Emmet wanted another honeymoon as did Riley and I so we decided to go to one of our islands, Lainway Cape on the Barents Sea.

Rose, Emmet, Riley, and I insisted on buying it for a getaway. We're the only four who like it but oh well. No one is there so we can get out in the sun and not worry about anything.

The only thing I'm worried about is Angela. Shocking I know but she has very bad luck.
