Chapter 35

Bella's POV

Edward and I had finally got back together but we were having a hard time hiding it from everyone. I was always in the forest; sometimes Edward would come and find me. He would tell me what he had to do to get away from everyone else. Sometimes he wasn't able to get away from everyone so I would just sit and ponder about life... okay, about me and Edward mostly. Though it had occurred to me that Jake hadn't been round in a while.

His dad probably told him off and grounded him. Coming all this way! He could get caught, I didn't want to put him or his pack in any danger, I wasn't that worried due to that thought. We were going back in three weeks so I would see him then anyway. Though Edward wouldn't be with me... no, no thinking of that now we make the best of the cards we are delt. Just like Grandma Swan always used to say 'Even if you have to fold know you've always got the option.'

She had a gambling problem... as you can tell from the poker themed advice. But thanks to her I've never lost a poker game. It had been 2 weeks since Edward and I had got back together Alice birthday party was tomorrow, we'd all wanted to throw her a surprise birthday; however she trusted no one to throw her a party she'd like... so she pulled one of her cases out which had tinsel, glitter, streamers, the works for a party. Problem... they were all pink! I laughed when she pulled them out thinking she had a different colour hidden. She could have at least brought another colour to go with them. I remember her reaction...

Flash back

I dug through the case trying to find another colour.

"Alice please tell me that there is another case with and different colour decorations in it!" I exclaimed still digging. This was typical Alice, she hadn't thought that boys were going to be there and may not enjoy the... pinkness of it al.

"No why would I? Pink's my favourite colour!" She giggled.

"Alice who are you inviting to this party?" Although Alice was really smart she didn't half act a younger age then she really was. Alice sat for a minute, she had her thinking face on. "Well you and Rose are a must. Of course my Jazzy, oh and his best friends Emmett and Edward, I hope you don't mind." I shook my head trying to keep my lips from twitching in to a smile. Luckily Alice was too far gone party planning to notice. "Then all of our parents. My aunt lives down here with her family so she'll have to come along with my grandparents. They are already on their way down they refused to go a holiday without seeing me. Urm... Then I'll invite Emma and her sister... I forgot her name, Maybe her whole family can come." I interrupted there

"Ali, Emma has 11 brothers and sisters and she's on holiday with her aunt and uncle who have seven kids themselves." I was shocked when Emma had told me this but Alice would want to invite them all to make it look like she knew everyone in the world.

"OH good more people!" She did a little happy dance that was kind of awkward because we were sitting in her tent.

"Honey I don't think the male population will appreciate all the pink." I slowly hedged in shuffling; my ribs were acting up again. Usually I wouldn't ask anyone to look at them however they were really starting to bug me. Normally they'd be fine by now, but they still ached

"Alice I'm going to see Carlisle." I sighed and climbed out of the tent hoping to find him with the other adults down by the lake. I slowly walked tripping and stumbling my way.

"Hey babe," Edward smiled, spinning me around and planting a peck on my lips."Where you off to?" he questioned following me holding my hand.

"I'm going to see your dad; my ribs are still bothering me I think I need to get them checked out." I grimaced as I shifted around trying to get comfortable, the pain was getting worse. Edward could sense my discomfort.

"Okay, let's get you to dad." He grabbed me swinging me into his arms in a bridal position. Moving quickly where I thought all the parents were. We got there faster than when I was stumbling my way along. "Carlisle, Bella's still having trouble with her ribs." At this Carlisle jumped up knowing something serious was wrong.

He lifted my T-shirt to see what was wrong. "Bella one of you ribs has set back in the wrong position, sticking outwards."I'm going to have to break it to set it back in the correct position." He turned to my parents. "Is that alright with you guys?" He questioned them, they nodded quickly.

Edward picked me up again following Carlisle back to our camp.

"Right I'll make it numb so you can't feel much pain." He injected it and waited for 5 minutes. I looked away not really wanting to watch my own rib being broken; I heard a crack and felt a dull ache in my ribs... I felt sick. I didn't like this numb sensation. "Okay Bella, You will need to take these for the next two weeks... I'll write a prescription so you don't get in trouble when you get home." Carlisle laughed; I gritted my teeth and smiled. If I laughed it would kill.

"Oh my god Bella my party is ruined, none of the boys will want to come if it is all pink! My party is officially over" she flitted around the corner noticing what was going on. "Omg, who's hurt?" She exclaimed flapping her arms and galloping over to us. "Bella what's wrong with you ribs?" she questioned as Carlisle was still checking them.

"Nothing..." I tried to explain.

"She had to have her rib re-broken again because it mended in the wrong position. So we re-broke it and set it back in the right position." Edward explained butting in not letting me finish the conversation that was aimed at me.

"I'm fine Alice because I'm on lots of drugs" I said stupidly, obviously under the influence.

After that I don't remember the rest of the day, according to everyone else I was very dopey and way out of it. Well I woke up the next day with a dull ache in my side, I sat up and a sharp pain hit me where the dull pain used to be. I grabbed the painkillers and swallowed them then took a swig of water to wash them down. I sat still until the pain subsided. I climbed out of my tent intent on finding Alice so we could finish solving her conundrum of pink decor.

"Ali!" I called hoping she'd heard me and just come out so I didn't have to go searching for her. She didn't reply, I went searching taking a little longer than usual as I couldn't move around as easily. I finally found her in Jaspers tent making out with him. "Alice, come on you've got two days to plan this party" I grabbed her arm tugging her without hurting my ribs.

"Okay, Okay, I'm coming!" she pecked Jasper on the lips three more times trying to drag herself away from him.

"Alice!" I barked tugging her arm once again. She waved good-bye and climbed out of the tent to greet me.

"Hey dopey Bella!" she giggled throwing her arms around my neck pulling me down to her height. "You were so out of it yesterday, it was hilarious! You were so clingy, clinging to anyone you got passed to though it didn't look like Edward minded it" She burst into fits of laughter, bending over and putting her hands on her knees. All I remember was waking up this morning remembering absolutely nothing from yesterday apart from Carlisle giving me lots of medication...it must have made me a little dopey and stupid.

"Right, firsts things first", I said interrupting her laughing fest. "We need to go get a different colour decoration, just to go with the pink not to take it all away." I shot Alice a look knowing what she was thinking.

"Mom and Dad said I wasn't allowed anymore money towards going to this party though" Alice exclaimed all over again acting like her party was still ruined.

"You've still got some left you're just saving it but you've got to use it for this otherwise your party will be ruined!" I exclaimed sarcastically trying to work her up so she'd spend the extra money that she was probably saving to get me an expensive present for my birthday even though she knows I hate presents.

"Okay I'll spend but I'm worried mum and dad will moan for spending too much." Alice sighed. She looked up, "Guess what Bella! We're going to do your favourite pass time... SHOPPING!" I sighed I didn't want to this but it was for Alice's birthday, and even if it wasn't then resistant's is futile anytime Alice sets her mind on anything it has to be done her way.

"Okay, let's go now before I change my mind." I sighed jumping out of the tent wanting it to be over already and we weren't even at the local mall yet.

That was 3 days ago, and Alice had finally finished planning her party... though she forgot her birthday cake so she'll probably realise an hour before but Bella will be there to save the day and it puts in a sense of surprise to this party that she wouldn't let be a surprise.

A/N: I spent ages on this anyone complains and I'm never writing again!

Jks but seriously it took meages!
