--------Chapter Two-------

Present Day

"Alex, get off me." Emmett said as I jumped on him in a big hug. They had just gotten me a laptop for my birthday. One that had internet, and everything. I loved it.

"THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU!" I said smiling from ear to ear. Edward shook his head, Alice and Jasper laughed, Esme, Bella and Carlisle smiled, and Rosalie sneered at me. That made ME smile. Rosalie was the only Cullen I could not stand. And she knew it, and I knew, and everyone else knew it and I didn't care. We hated each other and that was perfectly fine with me. I jumped of Emmett and took my place sitting on Edward's right and Alice's left. She smiled and I looked at Edward. Something changed him in the past three months that made him nicer to me. Maybe it was the fact that Mr. Banner had change lab partners and he and I were partners, maybe it was the fact his girlfriend was my best friend, or maybe it was the fact Bella had accidentally let it slip that Edward and his family were vampires. It's a dream come true, right? I mean, I've always dreamt that one day I'd meet vampires and such, but for it to happen here in Forks? The most boorish place on the planet? It was ironic, if anything. I leaned my head against Alice's shoulder and she patted my head.

"Happy Birthday Alex. How old are you now?" she asked in her quiet, musical voice.

"Nineteen." I answered. I love my birthday. It was October 31st, 1987. Samhain was my favorite holy day, and my birthday was on it. Double brownie points for me. They all murmured about my age and how I should be out of school by now, but the truth was, I should be but I wasn't because of all the moves, I didn't have my senior year completed. I sighed as I stood up. I gathered my things from the table and smiled.

"I have to go. My dad is throwing me a party at his restaurant tonight. He has some big surprise for me. You are all welcome of course. Edward knows where it is and all, so if you want to come, come. It's in twenty-nine minutes. I have to go, because I have to change first. Bye everyone." I said and as soon as I turned around, they all disappeared. I shook my head as I drove home and got on my sweat pants and my grey knit sweater. I threw my purse in the backseat and drove all the way to Port Angeles. I was only eleven minutes late. I walked over to dad's place and as soon as I walked in, I saw her. I screamed my head off and ran inside. I jumped on top of her, making us both crash into a table, push the tray with the cake off of it, flip over it and fall into the cake. We were laughing as I was hugging her and she tried to push my off and she spoke.

"Get off me you freak!"

"Katie Katie Katie Katie Katie!!!!!" I screamed and she shoved some cake into my face. She laughed and we got up, covered in cake. They Cullens were no where in sight. Maybe they hadn't come. That was too bad. I wanted to talk to Edward about….well, it didn't matter right now.

"Happy Birthday 'Lex." My dad said, bringing out a secondary cake. He knew me all too well. We actually got to eat this one instead of wear it. I had so much fun. Even Bella, Alice, Emmett, and Jasper showed up. Edward was conspicuously missing. He also was the only one who hadn't gotten me a present or anything for my birthday. He hadn't even wished me a happy birthday…

"'Lex, are you ready for your surprise?" my dad asked coming out of the kitchen.

"Wait—Katie wasn't the surprise?" I asked, wiping cake out of my hair. He chuckled, came over and gave me a noogie. My dad was such a loser.

"No. She's part of it though. Kate—you want to tell her?"

"YES! Alex, you'll never guess."

"You're getting married to Peter from Narnia?"

"Damn!"
"I know, I'm good. Seriously—tell me though." I said sitting on a table.

"Alright," she said. She took a deep breath and continued. "I'm moving here…and moving in with you."

I fell off the table in shock. Katie was moving here? And she was living with me? This was the best birthday present ever. NO, I lied. Her getting married to Peter would have been. But her moving here was second best to that.

I know, it was short. It was a filler chapter, really. Reviews?
