When we got home Billy and Jake were there. They wished us a happy birthday and Jake gave us dream catches. Bellas and mine were similar but mine had a small black feather and a small angel hanging from it. I asked him why an angel and he smiled at me. He told me that my father told them that I actually died for a few minutes but came back to life. So he put a small little angel so it could always bring me back to them. Smiling I hugged Jake tight because that was the sweetest thing anyways ever told me.
After their little visit, Bella and I got ready for. Bella opened up her gift and there was a beautiful green dress. Alice was right Bella did like her dress, a couple of seconds after Bella put it on. she received a text message from Alice 'i know it's absolutely beautiful'. Bella and I laughed, Alice will never change and we couldn't have it any other way. Bella being Bella she covered herself with a black sweater. When we were all ready we went downstairs and told out father we'll be back later. Before leaving the house I grabbed a white scarf and Bella frowned but I ignored her.
Bella and I arrived at the Cullen's house exactly at 7 pm. And surprisedly they weren't ready, so Alice had Bella, Edward, and I waited in Carlisle's library. While Bella and Edward were talking about the Volturi I was busy trying to think of a way to stop Bella from getting hurt. I mean how do you stop a clumsy person from getting hurt? Impossible, I know but I had to try everything. But what could I do? Take everything that they hand her? Could work but it'll be rude too.
Suddenly I felt someone shaking me. I turn to that person and saw Jasper kneeling in front of me. Turning around I see Edward, Bella, and Alice staring at me worried.
"What?" I asked confused.
"What do you mean what? We've been calling you for the past five minutes" Bella said. I looked at them confused, was I real spacing out?
"You alright, love?" Jasper said.
"Oh, sorry. What happened?" I asked changing the subject. Jasper sighed and I got up from the chair.
"It's time for the party," Alice said making me smile.
"Well then what are we waiting for?" I asked walking the door. Before I left the room I turned to the other who was still staring at me concerned.
"Are we not going or what?" I asked. Jasper once again sighed and walked towards me. Holding his hand I smiled at him and I felt him relax a little. Smiling at me we turned and walked downstairs where the others were. The living room was decorated with roses, candles and there was even a cake. Laughing I turn to Alice who had an innocent smile.
"Really a cake?" I asked her.
"It's a birthday party," she said smiling.
"Bella doesn't like cake but it's alright I'll eat for her," I said laughing.
"You can eat for three people" I heard Emmett say. I turn to him and smirk.
"Yeah, so?" I asked and Emmett rolls his eyes.
"Sorry, we tried to reign Alice in," Carlisle said walking towards us.
"If that's even possible," I said turning to Alice. Alice sticks out her tongue making us laugh.
"Happy birthday girls," Esme said hugging Bella and me.
"Thanks," we say in sync. Bella and I shared a look and laughed.
"First time for everything I guess," I said making them laugh.
When Carlisle and Esme gave us our hugs. I walked over to Rosalie and Emmet. Since I been hanging out with the Cullens more, I have been spending my time with Rosalie. We became fast friends surprising everyone and myself.
"Happy birthday, Annie," Rose said hugging me.
"Thanks," I said hugging her back. Pulling away we smiled at each other, I turned to Emmett and he had a big grin on his face. He picks me up and spins me around.
"Happy birthday, cupcake," Emmett said as he spins me around. I started to laugh along with the others.
"Thanks, Emmie," I tell him as he puts me down.
Emmett calls me cupcake because one day we were bored and decided to make cupcake but as expected we didn't finish it because Emmett started a food fight in the kitchen. Which got us a scroll from Esme and she made us clean it none vampire style which means Emmett had to do it as slow as a human would. And let me tell you we couldn't reach the ceiling without having him to use his vampire strength. But five hours, one swore body, and one 'tired' vampire later we got the job done. And when we got done we decided to actually make cupcakes but instead, it came out brown and soggy, which somehow tasted good.
I nickname him Emmie because I wanted everyone to have an 'ie' at the end of their names. Rosalie was Rosie, which she I didn't like but hey, it's alright. Alice was Allie, she thought it was adorable and kept the nickname. Edward was Eddie and I was the only one who could call him that, which makes me feel extra special. And Jasper was Jazzie, I only call him that when I want to annoy him. Dumb I know but who cares it's my nickname to them. Carlisle, I call him doc and Esme I call her by her name, I couldn't come up with a cute nickname for her.
Alice started to take pictures of all of us. I saw Emmett turn to Edward and smirks.
"Dating an older woman, nice" Emmett tells Edward. I grabbed the nearest couch pillow and smack Emmett in the face. Edward and the others laughed at my action along with Rose.
"Dude, just no... No"I said making him look at me confused.
"What did I say?" he asked making me roll my eyes.
"Be a good boy and stand next to Rosie," I said. Rose rolls her eyes and Emmett smirks.
"Watch it, cupcake or else your face is going inside the cake," he said.
"Wooh, I'm so scared" I taunted him. Emmett moves forward pretending to come for me but I moved behind Jasper. Laughing Emmett goes next to Rose and I glared at me when he smirks at me. I see Alice rushed to get the presents. She comes back with two and gives them to Rose.
"You first Rosalie," Alice tells her. Rosalie sighs and goes towards Bella.
"It's a necklace, Alice picked it out," Rosalie said. Bella looks at the small box, nodding thanks to her. Rosalie turns and smiles at me.
"It goes with what Alice got you," she said smiling at me.
Confused and excited I grabbed the gifted from her hand and quickly opened it. I heard the others laugh. When I opened it I was even more confused, it was a light grey teddy bear holding an 'always my sister with love from me to you' sign.
"Aww," I said holding the bear. I turned it around so the others could see what it.
"I see you as my sister too," I said. I went to give Rose a hug but she laughs making me stop and look at her confused.
"It doesn't mean that?" I asked confused. However, Rose just hugs me and walks back next to Emmett who was smiling at me. Confused I turn to the other who were all smiling at me well except for Bella, she was as confused as I was. I turn to Jasper and he was staring at me with a glaze that I have never seen before. I looked at him questionably but instead of answering he kissed my forehead and smiled.
"Sooner or later, you'll have to tell me. I'm getting scared with the constant smiling," I said and they laughed well besides Bella who's confused. Alice then gives Bella another present.
"It's from Emmett for you," she said smiling. Bella shakes the box to find that there was nothing inside. Bella and I look over to Emmett, he has this extremely smug and proud look.
"Already installed it in your truck. Finally a decent sound system for that piece of cra-"
"Hey, don't hate the truck" Bella cuts Emmett off. We laugh at them and Rose cracks a small smile. Then Alice comes to me with a box similar to Rose and the one she gave me at school.
"This one is for you from Emmett" Alice says with a huge smile. Once again I teared this box up and just like Rose's gift. It was a light grey teddy bear but this time it had a 'congratulation' sign. Confused I turned to Emmett,
"Shouldn't this say 'happy birthday?'" I asked. No one said anything they all just smiled and I was getting more and more excited and confused.
"What does this mean?" I asked turning to Jasper.
"Wait and see, love," that was all he said before kissing the top of my head. Sighing I nodded because if I continue to push they won't tell me. Esme handed me a similar box, I just stared at her with a 'are you kidding me' look and she smiled at me.
"Open it," she said as I started to fiddling around with the box.
"I swear if it's another teddy bear someone better tell me whats goi-"
And suddenly I got a paper cut. I slowly turned to look at Jasper who was staring at my finger. It all happened so quickly, Jasper grabbed my hand and he looked at me. his eyes were golden anymore but pitched black. I stared at him shocked and scared, I wasn't scared that he was like this, honestly, I didn't know why I was scared. It's not like he'll hurt me... right?
Out of the nowhere Edward was right behind me and pushed me back. I didn't know what happened but why I looked up I saw break Edward's piano. Emmett went to hold Jasper back and Alice goes in front of Jasper trying to calm him.
"Jasper calm down. This is Annie, calm down. It's just a little blo-"
Alice realizes that the amount of blood wasn't small. Alice and the others turned to me. I was on the floor was a cut forearm. I turn to Jasper who managed to escape him Emmett and immediately runs towards me. Within seconds I was pinned to the wall, with Jasper's hands around my throat, Jasper's black eyes stared straight at me. He wasn't my Jasper, he wasn't my boyfriend but the vampire he hated. Right in front of me was the Jasper, he tried so hard to keep away. I was losing air, I didn't kick or scream I mean how could I? Even if this wasn't my Jasper he was still apart of the Jasper I love.
Jasper suddenly was pulled back by Emmett and Rosalie. They pulled him away kicking and screaming, he was desperately trying to get to me. When they finally manage to get him out Bella and Carlisle come to my aid. I held my sore throat, coughing and gasping for air, I stared at where the took Jasper away.
"Annie are you okay?" Bella asked,
When I tried to turn my neck hurt and whimpered. Great, this will probably leave a bruise, though. Carlisle told Edward to try to calm Jasper down since he'll be the only one he'll listen to right now. Carlisle carried me to the kitchen and placed me on the counter. He left to bring his medical bag and he started to treat me. Since I couldn't talk Bella and Carlisle were talking about damn souls and why Edward doesn't want to turn her. I stopped paying attention my main concerned was Jasper, poor Jasper he's probably beating himself up for this.
"Annie" I heard Carlisle's voice. I turn to him and he was frowning.
"It's going to leave a bruise," Carlisle said making me sigh, and I regretted it, sighing causes pain to my shoulders. Carlisle then went to explain to me what he was going to tell my father but honestly, I wasn't paying attention because I know what will happen next. They're going to leave, they're gonna pack up and leave. Edward going to tell Bella he doesn't love her and leave her in the forest. And what about Jasper? What will he do? Will he leave me? Will he pack up as well?
"Annie" I heard Alice voice. I turn to her and she was standing by the entrance of the kitchen. She was staring at me with a guilty and ashamed expression.
"Edward's going to take you girls home-"
"J-jas" I couldn't talk.
"Annie, do not talk. You won't be able to talk for a few days. Your throat has to heal" Carlisle said.
I turned to him frowning but nodded, understanding him. I got down from the table since Carlisle was finished. I was going to find Jasper but Carlisle stopped me. I try to move away from him but he didn't let me go. Once again I tried to let go but Carlisle going shook his head frowning. I knew I couldn't cry here, I could 't let them see me crying because if they do then they're gonna think that Jasper hurt me. But it wasn't that, it's hurting me not to see Jasper. Shaking my head I turn to Alice.
"I'll try to convince him to stop by," Alice said.
Nodding I turn to Bella who was crying. I looked at Carlisle and nod at Bella, and he understood what I meant. I was going to Bella. I walked to Bella and hugged her. She cried and I tried to calm her down but it was no use. She continues to cry notice I saw someone else coming inside. Alice wasn't here anymore. Esme came in with a big bag.
"I am sorry," she said. I looked inside the bag and notice all my stuff bears. I pointed at the bears and Esme frown even more.
"I'm so sorry, Annie. I'm sorry" Esme said. Edward came in and held Bella close to him. He frowns at me.
"Ready?" he asked. I just nodded. We walked passed the living room and I barely notice the mess. The piano was smashed, there was blood all over the room and glass over the room as well. I turn to where they took Jasper but before I could walk over there, a hand stopped me. Edward was frowning and shaking him. With one last look, I turned away and walked outside the house.
The car ride to the house was very quiet. No one dared to speak and I am sure none of us actually wanted to. When I got home dad was waiting for us. He didn't even let Edward park the truck, dad opened my door. He helped me climbed down and hugged me. He pulls away and looked all over me. He was saying something about someone going to pay for this and something about hunting them until he finds who did this. I left Bella and Edward outside, I looked at Edward, we made eye contact but he quickly looked away. Frowning I went inside the house and up to my room. My dad was still here still talking but I wasn't paying attention.
Then I felt him kiss my head before wishing me a good night. He left me there alone and it wasn't a good thing. I stayed in my bed waiting for Jasper to come. I didn't want him to leave me, I wasn't ready for him to leave me. I didn't want him to leave.
I didn't notice I was crying until I felt my pillow all wet. I got up from the bed and tried to stay up. But with all the crying, my sore throat, and with everything that just happened I was getting tired. I felt my eyes closing on me, slowly I fell back on my bed and I swear I saw Jasper staring down at me. I tried to make my eyes stay open but it wasn't any use. Then I tried to reach for him, hoping he'll be nice enough to hold my hand for the last time but it was hopeless. He didn't hold my hand nor did he lay with me that night. I went to sleep without the warmth of my Jasper.
