Hi Everyone, So I've always imagined this scenario, and truly feel that Edward was a little sadistic in his treatment of Bella. No judgement that's just my view!

I would love if someone would like to BETA my story, I haven't wrote in a LONG time, and any input on past/present tense and adjective settings would be AMAZING! Credit will of course e given in the heap loads! :)

JUST A HEAD'S UP... This story has foul language and some descriptive scenes that may upset some people. No lemons (yet who knows where this story will go...) just a bit imaginative :)

Shout out on reviews, follow, private message me - I love feedback and any ideas are welcomed!

Bella POV

A normal Friday here in Forks, the air is damp and everyone's moods at school are as dull, especially mine. Its my 18th Birthday today, a day where I would imagine most teens are jumping for joy at being an official adult however I'm more concerned that so far, in the past hour of getting to school I've been made the centre of attention far too many times for my liking.

"So Bella, what are your plans tonight? Crazy party lots of booze and sexy ladies?" Mike jested while running up behind me at my locker. "Hey! no plans and no party. My dad is Chief of police remember dumbass!" Mike huffed away, muttering what a shame as he was dying to let loose. I chuckled, knowing I would be dead if Charlie ever found me hosting a party in his house. I thought for a brief second what it would be like to go wild and have a party, a mental picture of Edward frowning quickly shut down that idea. I could see Alice Rosalie and Emmett enter the hallway, secretly relieved that Edward wasn't here to witness Mike's attempt at getting me to throw a party.

"Happy Birthday Bella!" Alice's giggled. "Shh, Alice please. You promised no fuss! I've had too many cards and gifts already, low key remember" Pointing out my locker filled with various cards and gifts my fellow students gave me, Alice simply pouted. I had been spoilt by everyone, but I was so used to being happy in the sidelines that this treatment was foreign to me. While I'm so grateful, I'm equally embarrassed.

"I know I know, no fuss. Just a small family get together as promised" Alice sighed, as if it was taking all her might to settle on this promise. "Hey where's Jasper & Edward?" I asked, it was bugging me where they were. "Jasper is in Seattle, arranging some documents for a forthcoming trip & Edward, well it's really not my place to say Bella…" "Spill" I urged, annoyed she was going to keep this from me. "Edward has been arranging your birthday present, he promised me not to say anything but I can't keep secrets from you" I cringed, we'd already spoke at length about how I was completely happy without any gifts, to be honest his persistence in the matter had really annoyed me. He just doesn't listen to me.

It sounded like Alice had gone on saying something further, but I couldn't hear her as Emmett pulled me into a bear hug shouting "Happy Birthday Adulterer" at the top of his voice. The whole corridor stopped and stared and I just wanted to sink into a dark whole and disappear, so freaking embarrassing. Rosalie was quick to my side and slapped Emmett across his chest, "You idiot, Adulterer means cheater! Just stick with Adult for crying out loud, I've told you this!" She flashed a short apologetic smile in my direction.

"Happy birthday Bella. I would like to speak to you later, if that's okay?" She looked at me quizzingly, she too knew the atmosphere between us was awkward, not knowing where to look I just muttered "Sure sure". Thankfully the bell rang and I thanked the lord, I could leave and get to my class.

The rest of the day went by like a flash, luckily word got around to quit the attention shit. I was treated to a coffee and a hug from Eric. This I liked, it was genuine and no fuss. Edward was still nowhere to be seen, and it had begun to annoy me. What kind of present requires taking a day off school? In all honesty, I'm secretly enjoying some down time. Being Edwards girlfriend took a lot of energy, sometimes even patience, something today I had little of.

Jasper returned during last period, he's in my class - American History. I tried lamely to hide my smirk as he walked in blatantly ignoring the fact he was late and dismissing the teacher with a patronising finger to his lips "Shh". My smile fell when he chose to sit alone behind me at the back of the class, ignoring the always empty chair next to me.

Don't get me wrong, I completely understand if Jasper finds his 'diet' hard to stick to, so I try not to get offended when he chooses to sit away from me. However I struggle to hide the small feeling of hurt when he does so. In 8 months, I had probably spoken with Jasper 4 times, 2 of those where during the incident in Phoenix. He was always pleasant with a smile and a hello yet quick to get away from me, I really wanted to get to know him too.

I was fond of him but really didn't know him well, I huffed away my bad feelings trying not to get upset at the situation. Feeling a strange buzzing in my sweater pocket, I began patting down myself and to my shock I found a phone! This surely wasn't mine? I swiped the screen and found a picture of me and Charlie as the screensaver. A text was there waiting to be read, so I curiously opened it.

Happy Birthday Kiddo, Love Dad

I smiled while trying to hide the phone, Charlie knew me too well. The phone was already in use so I couldn't refuse it, nor take it back to the store. I flipped through the contacts, seeing that Alice clearly had a part to play in this as all my friends and family numbers were already saved, including the Cullen's. Wait til I see her the minx!

Thank you Dad, you're the best - Bells x

I was about to put the phone back in my pocket when it buzzed again, being discreet I hid the phone in the crook of my zip pocket and read what else had been sent.

Texting in class are we? Tut tut, and there's me thinking you were a top student - J

Jasper? I carefully turned around to look at him but he was looking straight ahead, with a wry smile. I could feel my cheeks turning a flush pink so I quickly turned back around.

And you aren't? - B

I don't need to pay attention to this class, I was alive during the Civil War haha - J

Smart arse, maybe you can help me with my homework then - B

Darlin' I'll teach you anything you want to know- J

Like how inadequate this teacher is hehe - B

Yeah, and more - J

More? Intrigue me - B

I don't know what I was expecting back to my playful message, but I had clearly not been paying attention to Mr Derrin our teacher, as he stood in front of my desk, clearly annoyed with me.

"Miss Swan, maybe you can enlighten us all as to what is so important, you can't wait for class to finish?" I heard Jasper chuckle behind me. "And you, Mr Hale, care to share what you have been texting?" Ha! so Jasper had been caught out too. Neither of us spoke, simply waiting for the attention to drop. "Both of you detention, room 12 after class." He yelled as he drifted towards the board to continue with the lesson. Groaning, I put my phone away cussing to myself that I got carried away with my new gadget.

The bell rang and I waited for the rest of our class to leave the room before turning to Jasper. "Thanks a lot! Now I have detention.. on my birthday!" He crossed his arms defensively, but he held a goofy smile. "Oh come on, you need to live a little, it's your birthday what's a bit of fun skiving in class and texting? all the cool kids do it" Mocking me, nice. He held the door for me as we made our way to room 12, careful not to get too close to me, figures.

60 minutes. 60 minutes of detention without a teacher, sat in a room with a silent Jasper, well this was going to be fun. We had to write lines, like middle schooler's - "Phones are for calls, not for class" I'm really not in the mood for this. Jasper was sat on the far side of the room and considering he had done his in 1 minute, at vampire speed as clearly no staff were bothered to watch over us, he idly sat with his legs up on the table, idly staring towards the front of the room as if he was alone.

"Tell me Jasper, why you're not even bothered being here? I thought being around humans was uncomfortable for you. Yet here you are" exasperated, I decided to get up and sit next to him, letting him know I wasn't to be tensed slightly, but eased a bit. I could see he was holding his breath. I felt uncomfortable I put him in this situation, but I wasn't moving.

"Bella, I'm not as bad as my brother makes out. Yes, being around humans is uncomfortable, it's the raging hormones that gets me the most though. Luckily, I'm not bothered now, most have gone home. It's funny you know, the feelings some people have, these students are on heat" I was shocked, it seemed we were actually going to talk like actual friends do. Pushing him to continue, I turned to him and rested my chin in my hands. "Go on" His usual wry smile crept up, and he turned to me too. "Well, that Mike lad. He sure has the hots for you. His feelings are like animalistic lust, and love too. Quite funny when you knock him back. Whenever you walk away, it seeps into disappointment."

I frowned, I didn't want my friend to feel like this because of me. "Jessica, is that her name? Short big boobed?" Jasper continued, I was shocked how he described her but laughed. "Yeah lucky her! What about her?" Jasper bit his lip, and for a brief second I thought how hot he looked doing it. Jasper went to speak but stared at me, as if I had grown an extra head, his eyes raised. "Jessica?" I implored, trying to get over the suddenly weird atmosphere. "Umm, yeah, Jessica. She feels madly jealous whenever Mike speaks to someone else. She also feels elite, like she runs the school. Like I said Bella, these lot are on heat!"

The clock ticked to 4.15, and in a flash Jasper was gone. I made my way out to the parking lot and there he was, Edward. Leaning against my trusty truck with a big bunch of flowers. "Happy birthday my love" He whispered as he leant down to place a chaste kiss my cheek. I smiled and looked around the car park, trying to not be so obvious, as I searched for Jasper. I didn't get a chance to say how nice it was we could finally talk. I guess I would have to approach him tonight at the family party. I groaned at the thought of the party.

"Bella, what is the problem, love?" I could feel myself becoming that signature toasty red with embarrassment. "Tonight, do I have to go, like seriously? Edward its not even as if your family can eat cake, I'm going to make them feel awkward!" " Bella, humour them. They just want to make you to feel special. Quite frankly, it is rude of you to be acting this way" I instantly felt guilty. Mumbling an apology as I got in the passenger side of my truck, I silently charred him for not letting me drive, as I loved driving my baby. He started her up and made way back to my home, in empty silence.

Amidst the silence, my mind was running overtime. Thank god he couldn't read my thoughts. I was cursing myself for not thinking of the others and only thinking about what I wanted. I tried not to get upset, thinking of all the positives I have had today, Rosalie was nice to me today, that's something? Mike got me a lovely gift, sweet of him. My father had embraced the 21st century with texting. Huh, yeah it was a great day. The highlight, finally the beginning of a friendship with Jasper.
