3, 2, 1...

"Bella! Come on! The showing starts at 5, and we can't be late!" Alice shouted to me from downstairs.

"Okay, okay! I'm coming woman!" I called back, throwing a sweatshirt over my plain black t-shirt and running down the stairs. Alice's eyes narrowed as she took in my appearance, but I wasn't bothered. I was only going to turn 12, it's not like I was a teenager yet. And we're going to the cinema, where it's dark. Nobody can see you anyway!

"What?" I asked her, becoming uncomfortable with her staring.

"Take of the sweatshirt and you'll look fine." She assessed.

"But it's cold! And it gets even colder in the pictures!" I complained. Alice rolled her eyes at me and walked towards the door.

"Dad? Are you ready to drop us off yet?" My dad was going to drop us off at the cinema and then pick us back up again. He wanted to come in with us, but I nearly threw a fit when he mentioned it, and also, Alice said the film has got some kissing in it, and I don't want to be around Charlie when that's on.

"Yeah, Bells." I heard him shout, heaving himself off of the couch. Me and Alice went outside and stood by the doors of the cruiser, waiting for him to unlock the door.

"What's this film called again?" Charlie asked once we were all seated and buckled in.

"The Switch." Alice told him.

"Oh, yeah. I saw the commercial for that. Is there going to be a lot of sex in this? Because I know you're getting older Bells, but you're still only 12." He reprimanded me, clearly uncomfortable with the conversation.

"Dad, the rating of the film is a 12, I'm sure it's fine," I calmed him.

"Okay then." He muttered, turning his attention back to the road. I rolled me eyes at Alice and we both tried to stop our giggles by biting out fingers and looking out of the window.

When we pulled into the cinema parking lot, we got out of the car and Charlie gave me enough money for both of us to get in and have so popcorn and a soda. Going to stand in the concession line, I gave Alice her ticket and slipped mine into my pocket.

"What do you want?" I asked her while we were waiting.

"Salted popcorn and a cola."

"Ew, salted?"

"Mmmm! Yeah, Bella it's soooo nice!" She laughed. I rolled my eyes at her antics, but I couldn't keep the smile off of my face. I was so glad we were doing something without our parents. It made me feel so grown up.

"ALICE!" I heard someone shout. I turned around to see Edward standing there with Emmett and Jessica.

Oh no, I thought. They couldn't ruin the best birthday I'd ever had. I wouldn't let them, I swore to myself.

"What?" She asked.

"What are you doing here?" He asked her.

"Celebrating Bella's birthday." She told him, pointing to me.

"Oh! Why weren't we invited?" He asked, glaring at me.

"Why do you think?" I sneered at him.

"I don't know, that's why I asked you." He laughed.

"Well, I'll tell you shall I? It's because you're a mean, filrthy, disgusting pig!" I shouted at him. "You always pick on me, and for what? My looks? It's not like I can control the face that I need glasses and my mom won't let me wear contacts. It's not my fault I need braces, but one day, my teeth will be perfect! It's worth waiting for that! It's not my fault that my hair's a frizzy mess on top of my head! I can't control these things Edward!"I ranted on.

"Well, you could just go to a ha-" I cut him off.

"No I can't just go to a hairdressers, Edward. Okay, you're family has money, good for you! Mine doesn't! Do you know how rare it is I even get to go to cinema? We can't afford! I really don't appreciate you coming around me flaunting off the fact that you're rich with all your fancy clothes and perfectly cut hair. Some of us, can't do that!"

"Bella, I didn't-" I stopped him again.

"I don't care about whatever you're about to say, okay? This was going to be the best birthday I've ever had. Just me and my best friend. But of course, you just had to go and ruin it, didn't you? You can't ever think about the fact that people have feelings. Well, thank you very much Edward. Thank you for ruining my birthday." I told him before I grabbed the popcorn I'd ordered before he came and grabbed Alice hand, before dragging her into the screen we were supposed to be in.

"Bella, I'm so sorry. I didn't know my big fat jerk of a brother would even show up here." She told me honestly.

"It's fine." I sighed. "Let's just watch the film."I turned my head to the screen and tried to forget about Edward Cullen.

On Saturday morning, Nessie and Alice came over to 'style' me. That's what Alice called it. I called it 'Let's-All-Attack-Bella-With-Hot-Things-And-Make-up', but who's complaining? Apart from me, that is. They primped me with curlers and jabbed at my eyes with mascara sticks. They dressed me in too-tight black skinny jeans and a blue top that was way too low cut for my own good. Jacob came around at about 6.30. We were planning on leaving at about 6.45 so we all sat down in my living room and talked for a bit.

"Nessie, why don't you come?" I asked her, she looked a little shocked to be asked to I smiled at her in a friendly way.

"Well, I don't want to mess up the plan, if I'm there and I see the two of you kissing, I'll probably freak." She laughed.

"We don't have to do it if you're not comfortable with it." I told her.

"No, it's fine! Honestly, I'm just nervous that you won't be convincing enough." She told us, honestly.

"Well, why don't you try it out now?" Alice asked. "Get some practise in so that when you do it when we're out, it won't be your first time."

"Oh, well I guess we could." I said nervously, looking at Nessie again, she was laughing at my face.

"Bella! Calm down, It's fine. I know that Jake loves me. That's enough to keep me sane." She winked at me."

"Okay then. Are you okay with that?" I asked, looking at Jacob. He shrugged and nodded his head.

"Yeah, I don't mind." He told me, and he bent down and pressed him lips against mine. He kissed for a few moments before he broke away. We both looked at each other for a few seconds and then I nodded, looking towards Alice and Nessie.

"I think you're fine, Ness. No sparks, don't worry about it," I laughed and Jacob joined in.

"Well, let's get going." Alice hopped up and walked towards the door. I stood up behind her and Jacob gave Nessie a big kiss, lifting her off of the ground. I turned around to give them privacy and smiled to myself as I heard them say "I love you" to each other.

When we were all in the car, Alice drove towards the cinema in Port Angeles in a speed that was way over the speed limit, but I was too scared to look at the speedometer. When we got there, Edward and his friends and Angela and Ben were already there, so Jacob opened my door for me and we stepped out. I grabbed his hand and he was a little tense. I leaned up to his ear and whispered, "Think of Nessie." In his ear and then kissed his cheek. He relaxed and smiled at me, whispering his thanks back and kissed me softly on the lips.

We started walking forward again and came to a stop in front of Edward and next to Alice.

"What are we seeing?" I asked.

"That horror one, The Last Exorcism." My eyes widened, I didn't like scary films. Jacob noticed this and started whispering in my ear. "I'll protect you, Bella." He said it loud enough that Edward could hear, but no one else could. Alice had told us that we had to try and annoy him most, she wouldn't tell me why. Probably revenge.

I smiled and turned my head to kiss his lips. When I turned around, Edward had his hands clenched tightly into fists and his teeth were gritted. I gave him a confused look and he nodded his head towards Jacob. I tilted my head to the side, trying to figure out what he was telling me but he nodded his head and sighed. I rolled my eyes and shifted my weight to my left foot, grabbing Jacob's hand more tightly.

"So! Are we gonna go or something? I'm bored!" Emmett whined. I snorted at him.

"What?" He asked me.

"Nothing, I just got told that people with fewer brain cells get bored easier. Don't know if it's true or not, but..." I trailed off, smirking.

"Har-Har, Bella. You know, I don't like this new attitude you've gotten. Is that because you had sex? I mean, you used to be all...quiet."

"No it's not because I had sex." I paused to glare at Alice, she smiled at me sheepishly. "And quiet? That's because whenever I said anything, you took the piss out of me! What was I supposed to do?" I asked, exasperated.

"Um, about that...I'm real sorry Bella, honest. I didn't ever want you to feel like that and um...yeah." Emmett said, scratching the back of his head. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I opened them again when I started to talk.

"It's okay, Emmett. Yeah, I was annoyed, but you're the only one who's apologized to me, so I accept it." I smiled at him and he grinned widely at me.

"Thanks Bells!" He grinned wider.

"I'm sorry too, Bella." Edward said next to me, I turned around to glare at him.

"Well, that just proves how much of a man you are, doesn't it Edward. You need someone to apologize to me first before you do?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

"God, Bella! Why are you being like this?" He asked me.

"Being like what?" I asked, playing innocent.

"Like everything I do, you comment. I can't do anything right anymore!" He threw his hands in the air.

"Well, now you know how I felt for 7 years." I smiled sweetly at him, and then I followed Alice into the cinema, dragging Jacob along with me. We sat on one big row, Emmett went first, then Rosalie Hale, his girlfriend. After Rosalie went Jasper, Rosalie's twin brother and then Alice. Alice had had a crush on Jasper since they were little, and she was hoping if she accidentally cowered against him when she got scared, he'd put his arm around her to comfort her. After Alice went Jacob, then me and then Edward. Angela went next to Edward, then Ben then Jessica and then Mike on the end. I hoped that Jessica and Mike would hit it off, so Mike would leave me alone as well.

During the film, I actually did get really scared, Edward noticed my discomfort, and from the corner of my eye, I saw him raise him arm, as if her was going to put it around me, so I cowered into Jacob's side before he could. Jacob slid down lower in his seat so he was closer to my height and put his arm around my shoulder and leaned his head against mine. He really was perfect at the whole acting thing. He was better than me anyway. Edward's arm lowered again and he rested it against the arm rest and went back to the film.

When it was finished, I was frozen. I could hear Jacob asking me if I as okay, but I couldn't register it. The film was just so scary! I know that my response was completely irrational, and that I shouldn't be so scared. I shook my head and stood up, leaning onto Jacob.

"Are you okay?" He asked again.

"Yeah, I'm fine. That was just really scary." I'd have nightmares tonight; it's a good job Alice was staying over.

He chuckled and kissed my head. We walked out of the screen and walked down the stairs to the doors.

"Where shall we eat?" Emmett boomed. "I'm starved."

"I'm shocked." I gasped. Alice laughed.

"How 'bout Pizza Hut?" Jacob suggested.

"Awesome, man! I think I love you." Emmett announced. Edward glared at him.

"Come on, you big oaf." Rosalie smiled as she pulled him to the car. We got in our respective cars and made our way to the Pizza Hut just outside of Port Angeles. Emmett was out of the car and in the restaurant, before I could even blink. I don't know his parents ever fed him.

"You still okay with this?" I asked Jacob before we got out. He rolled his eyes and got out, walking round to my side to open my door.

"Yes Bells!" He laughed. I shook my head and pouted as he started to walk towards the doors. I stayed in the same spot, my feet glued to the floor. I didn't want to tell him, but I'd twisted my ankle getting out of the car, and I couldn't actually move at the moment.

"What's up?" He asked.

"I, um, twisted my ankle?" I muttered, although it sounded like a question.

"How'd you manage that?" He laughed.

"Well, it's not like I did it on purpose!" I disagreed. He looked at me for a moment before he sighed and scooped me up in his arms.

"Jake! Put me down!" I squealed.

"Bells, honey. Why would I put you down, when you can't even walk?"

I grumbled and crossed my arms over my chest. When he walked us into the restaurant, we received some very funny looks, mostly from the other customers. Finding our table wasn't difficult, it was right in the centre of the room, and they gave us weird looks also when he carefully put me in a seat and then took the seat next to me.

"Um, what was the carrying for?" Edward asked.

"She twisted her ankle getting out of the car." Jake rolled his eyes, and I punched his bicep but in turn, had to shake my hand around a bit.

"Woah! Jake! How long do you work out for?" I asked out of general curiosity, squeezing his bicep again.

"Um, I don't know. A lot?" He muttered.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed the menu, ignoring the glares I was receiving in the side of my head from Edward.

I want to apologise if I offended anyone with the whole 'brain cells' comment. That wasn't meant to be taken offencively. Also, I haven't seen 'The Last Exorcism', but the advert on TV looks really scary. Review please. :')
