Chapter 2 - Birthday Surprises

--

"I love you." The words rang through my head over and over. He sounded like he was in pain saying it, he was just so serious. Was it really such a difficult thing to say to me? Was I really so terrible that a simple thing like that would be so hard to say.

Then it hit me. He wasn't just saying it to say it. This was one of those 'I love you, goodbye.' situations Ive heard so much about and dreaded all my life. He was leaving me.

"Edward please…" I didn't know what I need to say, but before I had a chance to figure it out he was gone. I screamed for him, feeling tears starting to break away and course down my cheeks.

This isnt happening. This is all just a nightmare, and Ill wake up in a minute, and Edward will be standing by the window as always, and Ill feel safe and happy and loved. Yeah, this isnt real!

If only that were true.

My screams for him to come back were rapidly turning into nonsense as I tried to get up from the bed. Pain shot through my body, causing me to jerk back against the soft pillows to regain my breath and strength before trying again. Again I was racked with pain and had to fall back on the bed to stop the world from spinning around me. I heard voices and saw blurred people swim in front of me in a pool of colour, but nothing made sense to me. I just wanted to curl up into a ball and forget any of it ever happened.

Curling into a ball isnt really an option though when your attached to as many machines as I was at that time. And with a broken leg it would have been rather difficult, not to mention seriously painful. So I had to settle for just turning away from everyone, hiding my face against the pillow as I cried. I heard my Dad calling to me, he sounded so far away. I looked up and through my blurred vision I saw him, and then someone in a white coat burst through the doors with a group of blue people. I couldn't see him, but somehow I knew this Doctor wouldn't be Carlisle. The Cullen's would be leaving now, if not gone already. I had lost them. Forever.

I had lost Edward.

5 YEARS LATER!

"Issy, hurry up, we're gonna be late!" I heard Asher shout up the stairs. It was my birthday, and as usual I didn't really want to do anything special, but as usual he insisted we go out and celebrate. 'Your only young once.' He had said about a million times. 'You gotta live life to the full, who knows when it'll be over.'

"Im coming!" I shouted back, laughing as I heard him laugh and turn the TV up for the millionth time in an hour. Ok so I was taking a bit longer getting ready than he did. But its my birthday, my rules, my lateness. At least that's what I kept telling myself, we both knew this night was for him more than me. But still here I am, dolled up in the clothes he picked out for me, in the jewellery he bought for me, and wearing the makeup he decided looked best on me. Im his personal Barbie doll, but that's ok with me. That's just the way its always been.

"Finally! I was starting to go gray waiting for you." He said with a smile as I walked elegantly down the stairs. I used to be awful walking in heels, but having worn them practically every night for the last 3 years, they had become part of me, and I really couldn't imagine walking in flats again! "You look amazing. As ever." He slipped his arm around my waist and kissed me lightly on the lips. "Happy birthday Iss."

"Thank you. So are you gonna tell me where we're going? Or do I have to guess again?" I felt the familiar smile tugging the corners of my lips and couldn't help but let it out and laugh. Is someone had told me 3 years ago that Id be stood here like this, with the corny smile plastered on my lips, I would have said they were crazy. Now thought, it didn't feel so crazy. It felt perfect. Jacksonville certainly felt like home.

I should have known then that something was bound to go wrong. It always does with me.

Asher smiled, showing off his perfect white teeth. "You can guess all you want, Im not gonna tell you."

"Pretty please?" My wheedling rarely ever worked, but it was always good to try. This time it seemed my luck paid off

"Fine, but only so you wont be moaning the whole way there." I tried to pull an innocent face but he saw right through me. "Yeah I know what your like little miss. I wanted it to be a surprise but if you really have to know…Id hate to ruin it for you though…but I said Id tell you so…"

I started laughing as he continued his endless babble about nothing. "Stop." Damn it, why do I always fall for this? He does this every time we go out and yet still I cant bring myself to make him tell me. And he always gets so close too! Why didn't I just let him carry on for once!? "Lets just go before I ask again." He smiled, loving completely how it had worked once more.

The drive into town never took more than 10 minutes, which made people ask why we didn't just walk there instead, and my answer was always the same. 'Walk? In these heels? You have got to be joking!' ok so we could just walk and save on petrol and stuff, but then I would be pissed off before we got there, and would probably have broken the heels of my shoes, if not broken my legs. Better to be safe than sorry, so we safely always drove there.

As we neared the familiar club we always went to, I saw the familiar cue already forming. I always thought how much Id hate to be stuck in that cue, waiting to get in, hearing everyone having a good time but just not being close enough. At first, I had wanted to be normal and join the cue. Just to wait for it like they did. But who needs cues when you own the club. We got out of the car and the familiar lowly staff member took the keys to park it. Sailing straight through the doors, I stole a glace at the people stood waiting and glaring in envy as we were let in before them.

Then I spotted something. Or should I say someone. But that cant be possible! I closed my eyes for a few seconds then opened them wide. Still there. Asher tugged gently on my arm, pulling me through the doors into the pumping noise of the dance floor.

This was going to be a long night.
