"FINALLY! Where have you been?" Alice yelled as I walked in and sat down on my bed.
"I was making sure the party didn't turn out to be a disaster. It was my job." I lay back on the bed and closed my eyes, but that darn pixie pulled me back up.
"You don't have time to sleep, Bella. You have to shower and get ready," she ordered as she practically pushed me in the bathroom.
"Well I expect a cappuccino waiting for me when I get out because I'm going to need a caffeine boost."
I got in the shower and took my time relaxing all my muscles before I threw myself to the lions. I got out and put my robe on. I brushed my teeth and cleaned my face. I felt a little refreshed but I still needed my caffeine. I went back out to the room when I had a caramel Frappe shoved into my hand.
"Ok Bella, this is Tasha. She is going to be doing your hair." Alice explained.
I sat down and for the next two hours, all of the girls got ready. When everybody was dressed and ready a half an hour before the party was supposed to start, I looked at all of my friends and family, double checking that everybody had their certain color on. My mother and I were, of course, in blue. She was the only one that was allowed to wear my color.
It was finally time for us to head down. I heard the music out in the lobby. Emmett met me out in the hall as the rest of them went inside.
"Happy Birthday, Bella!" He said. "You look beautiful as always."
I smiled. "You look handsome yourself as always and happy birthday to you too, Em."
"Well are you ready sis? There are a lot of people in there." I nodded and he escorted me through as the DJ was introducing us.
"Here come the guests of honor now. Emmett and Bella Swan. Happy Birthday!"
He turned on the song that sang us happy birthday. I heard everybody join in. When the song ended, he handed me the mike.
"I want to thank everybody who has made this the best birthday weekend ever for Emmett and me. So, everybody have fun and enjoy."
I handed the mike back to the DJ as he put more music on. The photographers' cameras were flashing as Emmett and I posed for them. After a few pictures were taken, we split up to find our dates.
I didn't have to wait long because Edward found me first. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Tanya glaring at me as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled of course.
"You look absolutely stunning tonight, beautiful." he whispered in my ear. His voice sent shivers down my spine.
"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself."
I smiled as he kissed me. He asked me to dance so we met up with the rest of the group in the middle. Photographers were snapping pictures everywhere but all I could see was Edward. The night was perfect in everyway.
The party was in full swing when I heard a commotion by the door. I looked over to see Jessica arguing with the bouncer. I walked over to take care of the situation.
"What's going on?" I asked the bouncer. Jessica was standing there glaring at me.
"Ms. Stanley was trying to walk in. When I asked for her name and didn't see it on the list, she starting yelling." he told me.
I just nodded my head. "Go back inside, I'll take it from here."
He walked away and I turned towards Jessica.
"Who do you think you are? Were you not there when I said that if your name was not on the list that you were not invited? That means you're not welcome. So you just wasted your gas here and embarrassed yourself in front of people at school and the press." I sternly said.
I was aggravated that this night was going so well and she just had to ruin it.
"You think you're something don't you? Having bouncers and an invite list. Well deep inside you're still the insecure, ugly Bella Swan that left 2 years ago." she sneered.
I just snorted. "Yeah and that's why I have people taking my pictures everywhere I go, why I have friends that are actually real friends unlike your fake ones, and also why you're out there and I'm in here. So if you're finished trying to crash my party then I'm going to get back to my party. Tommy here will escort you out."
I walked away as they were escorting her outside and she didn't go out quietly.
"JUST YOU WAIT! SOME DAY THEY WILL KNOW THE REAL BELLA!"
I just rolled my eyes. I went back to where I left Edward but he was no where to be found. I looked around and I couldn't see him.

I watched Bella as she walked away. I couldn't believe that Jessica had the nerve to try to crash the party. While she was away, I went to get a drink for Bella and myself. I was walking back where Bella left me when Tanya met up with me.
"Hey Eddie. Having fun tonight?" She asked. I just nodded politely for my reply. A slow song came on so I turned to find Bella when Tanya grabbed my arm.
"Forget about her, dance with me."
I pulled my arm out of her grasp. "Tanya, I'm here with Bella so sorry, no I won't dance with you."
I started to walk away when I heard her crying. I didn't want to make her cry, so I turned around.
"Tanya, there is no reason to cry. Bella is my date..."
I wasn't able to finish my sentence because she interrupted me with a kiss. I tried pushing her away but she was stronger than she looked. I saw flashing all around me which distracted her. I pushed her away and wiped my mouth off.
"I told you that Bella was my date. Stay away from me."
She smiled smugly as I walked away to try to find Bella. As soon as I spotted her, I smiled. Just the mere sight of her made me feel like a good guy, she made me feel like all of the mistakes I had made in my life could be forgiven. I knew we were still taking it slow and that I had to get Emmett's permission but she was so beautiful that it was difficult not to move forward.
When I made it over to where she was, she was talking to somebody. I went behind her and wrapped my arms around her.
"Did you miss me?" I whispered softly in her ear. The person she was talking to left and she turned around with a smile.
"You have no idea," she answered, kissing me briefly. Right when I was about to deepen the kiss, her mom interrupted us.
"Good evening everybody. Thank you to everyone that came tonight. Emmett and Bella, could you two come up here please."
They made their ways to the front with Rose and I in tow.
"Emmett and Bella, your dad, Phil and I would like to give you all your presents. They're out front if everybody could please follow us." Renee handed the mike back to the DJ and we all went outside. Once we got outside, there in front of the hotel were parked the two coolest cars I had ever seen, a 2010 silver Zenvo and a 2010 silver Hummer.
"No way! These are ours." Emmett yelled, running to his Hummer.
Bella ran over to her car. I followed quickly behind her, wanting to get a good look at her car.
"Hey Emmett, I'll race ya." Bella said with a smirk while getting in the car. I quickly got in the passenger seat. Emmett got in the driver seat while Rose got in the passenger seat. Before Emmett even started in car Bella was peeling out of the parking lot.
Her car was awesome. She was smiling the whole time she was driving. We made it back to the parking lot before Emmett. Everybody was still outside when we got back. We made our ways through the crowd back inside. All that you could hear were excited whispers about the cars. Everybody walked back inside right as Emmett pulled in. We were in the door when Emmett yelled for Bella.
"Hey you cheated," he whined, pouting.
"Emmett, my car is just faster so deal with it."
We walked in with a pouting Emmett behind us. The rest of the night we danced and partied until early in the morning. Around five, we decided to head back to the room. Everybody finally made their ways back home or to their hotel rooms. We gathered all of the presents and took them to the room. We both changed into our pajamas and crawled into bed.
"Well, did you have a good birthday?" I asked her, wrapping my arms around her waist.
"I had the best birthday ever."
I knew she was smiling. After a few minutes, she was asleep in my arms and it wasn't long before I followed suit. I dreamt sweet dreams of the day that I could finally call Bella my girlfriend.
