BPOV:

The sun was just starting to set above us when i looked up at the glass ceiling of the greenhouse. Edward was idly playing with a strand of my hair and his eyes were closed. I lay with my head on his chest and my fingers twined in his free hand. No words were needed in this moment. Hours had gone by, but it felt like seconds. Edward and I had shared the one thing that was truly bonding, and it blew me away.

Lying wrapped in each other's embrace, the setting sun meant that Charlie would be needing dinner soon, and it was an hour drive back to Forks. My body tensed as I thought of Edward leaving. He said that he had some things to settle at our new home before I moved in, and that meant I wouldn't see him. Tomorrow I would need him more than ever, but I knew I needed to be a big girl. How bad could a birthday be? Like really?

"Bella?" Edward whispered in my ear. "Sweet girl, I think we have to go." I turned my head ever so slightly so that I could look at him straight on. His eyes were dazzling and his smile breathtaking. "What?" He asked when I didn't respond.

"Nothing." I smiled and kissed his bare chest. His skin felt like velvet beneath my lips. His fingers pulled my chin back so he could look me dead in the eye.

"Bella. I know that look. What's on your mind? You know you can tell me anything love." He almost looked worried as he waited for my response.

"It's really nothing Edward. I was just thinking about you, and tomorrow, and how you won't be there." I looked away from his eyes. I couldn't bear to make him feel guilty.

"Bella, you know that if I could be here for your Birthday I would be in a heartbeat. But I have to get back home and get things ready for us so we can be together always." He hugged me tight and kissed my head.

"Oh I know that, I just wish you didn't have to go." I crawled on top of his body and stratled my legs over his torso. His member was still uncovered and it twitched beneath my touch. I smiled wide and crawled up his body to kiss him. His laugh shook our bodies before he rolled over and was on top of me this time.

"Easy there tiger. Isn't 3 times enough?" He laughed softly and kissed my lips again. When he broke our kiss, his face turned serious and his hand slid down the side of my face until he was cupping my jaw. "You are so beautiful. I love you so much." All I could do was staring into his eyes. There wasn't a single look in them that contradicted what he spoke. I pulled at the necklace chain he was wearing, until our noses touch. "Edward Cullen, there is no one in the world that I've ever fallen in love with. You've changed my life in so many ways. I love you, and I wish I could say more, but I don't know how." His lips were just touching mine as he spoke the words that sent my soul into peace. "Bella, you don't have to say anything at all." And his lips pressed to mine one last time.

EPOV:

Bella and I got dressed as quickly as we could. This had had been the most amazing day of my life, besides finding out that I was in love with Bella. We wrapped the blanket up, and grabbed our untouched picnic and ran for the car. Forks was an hour drive, which I was thankful for. I still hadn't gotten to the real surprise. Bella's birthday gift.

We ran throw the field, hand in hand, until we got to the Volvo. Bella jumped in the car with a huge smile on her face. She was absolutely glowing. She picked up the rose from the dash board, closed her eyes and took in a deep breath of it. I threw the basket and blanket in the back and got into the car.

"Uh, sweetie?? Mind grabbing that silver box behind you?" I didn't want her to know I had something for her, so I spoke in a regular voice, and kept all excitement out of my tone.

"Yeah, sure."

Bella grabbed the box and handed it to me. I looked at her sideways as we got back onto the highway. "Could you open it up for me to love?" How could she not guess?!

"Sure" she said with a sure smile.

Bella opened the box and gasped. She was very quiet as she read the note that was on top of the gift. Moments later she was staring at me in disbelief and awe. "A promise ring?" The letter had explained the story of how my mother and father met, and how their love made it through the toughest of times, and they never loved another. Bella was meant for me, and I would never love or want another. I gave her the ring on a necklace so she would know that I would always love her.

"I promise to love you no matter what Bella. I want you to keep that and if one day you want to ... you know. Come and tell me." She had tears in her eyes and she wasn't saying anything. I got worried. Was it too soon? I pulled the car over and looked at her.

She didn't say anything; she just put the necklace on and grabbed my hands. For a few long moments and just looked me in the eyes. Finally she spoke."Edward. No matter how long I live, no matter who I meet, and no matter how far apart we are, I will always love you." She put her hand on my face and she was very serious. "You don't ever have to doubt that."

I grabbed her hand and held it tight to my face. Words didn't come to my lips, but my heart was exploding with sonnets and commitments to her, and in that moment, I felt home.

*

We drove hand in hand back to Forks, the feeling of love still washing over me. Bella was still aglow, and bright. We didn't say much, but were just content in holding each other. Every few minutes I would raise our twined hands and kiss her palm, fingers, arm, or the lips that sometimes met mine. Sooner than I would have liked, Forks was upon us.

I pulled up into the drive way and said my goodbyes to Bella. Our parting kiss was long and intense, and she held the necklace and said "Good night, good night. Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow." She pressed her lips to mine once more, and started to get out of the car. I grabbed her wrist and said "You took the words right out of my mouth my love. I'll miss you. Happy Birthday my darling." I kissed her hand, and she smiled, blushing a sweet rose colour, and walked towards the house. I waited until she was inside before I drove away and back to the emptiness I felt without her by my side.

BPOV:

I got inside and closed the door. This day had come to be one of fairytales. Edward was like my Romeo, while I was just a lowly maiden, but Edward seemed to think I was his Juliet.

I closed the door to find my mood turn sour. Jacob Black stood in my way with his Father at his side. He turned around at the sound of my entrance. A look of utter hatred must have crossed my face, because Jacob looked nervous. Charlie came around the corner with a case of Beer, and a TV schedule in his hands.

"Oh Hey Bells" Charlie looked worriedly between Jacob and I. "Thought you would be out longer. Is it ok if Billy and Jacob stay for dinner and the game?" Charlie looked worried, and anxious. I knew it wasn't good to cause him this, so with a small smile I shook my head yes. Charlie relaxed instantly and turned to wheel Billy into the living room. As soon as Charlie's back was to me, I grabbed Jacob's arm and pulled him into the kitchen.

"What the hell are you doing here Jacob?!" I pushed my fingers into his shoulder and accused him. "I know that the game your dad and mine watch isn't until tomorrow! Why are you here!?" I grunted angrily and went to the fridge. A nice cold water bottle awaited me. Jacob just laughed. "Nice to see you haven't changed." I spat at him.

Jacob walked around the counter and tried to grab my hand, but I pulled it away from him. "Bella, I'm sorry. I wanted to see you and since this morning you wouldn't come down to talk to me, I knew that this was the only way." He tried to hug me this time, and I slapped him. It was drastic I know, but he had no right wanting me to feel that what he wrote to me was 'ok'.

Jake put his hand to his cheek and rubbed it softly. "Guess I deserve that." He said sadly, and started to walk away. Before I could breathe again, he turned around. "Look, what I said in the letter, I didn't mean it. Yeah I was pissed and all since you ditched me. But Bella, common! You totally ditched everyone for this guy." Wow, he really didn't want to help my pissy mood at all.

"Screw off Jacob. You don't know a thing about Edward! He's a right for a man you'll never be!" With that, I stormed off and went up the stairs. I faintly heard Jacob call after me 'happy birthday'.

I slammed my door shut and threw myself onto my bed. I couldn't believe he had the nerve to show up and think everything was fine. My day had been the best of my life, until he came and ruined everything! I wanted to scream, or cry, but mostly I wanted Edward. I picked up my phone and dialled his familiar number.

It rang a few times before his sweet voice came on. "Hello?" The sound of his voice often made me feel special, but now, it just comforted me. "Bella? Is that you?" I sniffled and answered him. "Hi Edward." Instantly he got tense, I could feel it. "Bella? What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

I wiped my nose and tried to keep my tone light. "Um no I'm fine. Just ... just after you left, I walked in to find Jacob and Billy here. Charlie invited them for dinner."

Edward waited and sounded confused. . "Oh .. Ok. ..what's wrong with that sweet hear?" Edward didn't know Jacob and soon would hate him if I told him what had just happen.

"Um its nothing. Don't worry. I just wanted to hear your voice."

"Bella"

"Fine. This morning before you came, Jacob came over and gave Charlie a letter for me. Well he was going on about how I'm a bad person and crap. It just pissed me off. Well when I dragged him into the kitchen to talk, he wants to act like things are fine! It just pissed me off! He's mad that I don't talk to him anymore and is blaming you. So I slapped him and ran off."

"He is mad that you don't talk to him? I thought you said before that it's too hard to be friends because he always wanted more? And now he is jealous? Of me? I'm so sorry Bella. That's why you were crying this morning wasn't it?"

"Well yeah. I just can't take him guilting me. It's so not called for. Oh then to boot – as I ran up to my room, he calls up 'happy birthday' all sweet and kind. God I want to punch him!"

"Easy Bella. I know this doesn't help much, but maybe you should hang out. He is your friend. I'll be gone for a few days, and it may give you a chance to see your friends. Just, let him know that you don't want him. Be the bigger person, as hard as it will be. Do it for me?" His voice became unbearably sweet.

"Ok .. for you. I really miss you already." I sounded like a little kid pouting. "I wish you didn't live so far away."

"I wish for the same thing. But just think. In a week you will be here laying in my arms and everything will be just fine! Just think about that sweetie. Oh and go to your closet ok? Your birthday gift is in there from Alice. And a little something from me."

I sighed. "Edward, you've already done so much. What could you possibly give me now?" His voice was a soft laugh. "It's something you can cuddle with if you get lonely. Go open it. I'll wait."

I put the phone down and ran to my closet. Two boxes were stacked on top of each other. I brought them both back and asked him which one was his. He said that the top one was, and I quickly opened it. "Oh Edward! I love it!" Edward had wrapped up a sweater that he wore often. It was a dress on me, but it smelled just like him. I clung to it for dear life. "Thank you!" I whispered. He laughed softly again. "You're welcome sweetie. I wish I could be here for you. But soon I will be, and Bella, ....... I swear I'll never let you go."

We talked for a while more until an annoying beep caught my attention. "Oh Edward, that's call waiting. Can you wait or do you need to go?" I wanted to talk to him more, but he was driving. "Oh that's ok Bella, I'll come on msn when I get home. I'm almost there. I love you. Bye." Click.

"I love you too." I said to the dial tone. I clicked the 'call waiting' and said "Hello?" in a dull voice. "Hey Bella! It's Angela! I was just wondering if you had plans for your birthday tomorrow yet?" Angela was such a good friend to me, it made me smile to think that I didn't have to remind her it was my birthday. "Uh, no, not yet Angela. Do you have an idea?"

Angela had planned a party at her house for me since her parents and the twins were gone for the weekend. All the teens around were invited, which in Forks, wasn't many. I agreed with poor grace and said my good nights. Tomorrow I would bare this party, without Edward on my arm. I hung up and went to take a shower.

Edward and I had talked for a while on MSN about this party, and he really wanted me to go and have a good time. He knew I wasn't thrilled, but I would do this for him. Shortly after talking, Edward and I said our 35 minuet goodnights.

Charlie was thrilled about this party, and he said he would go to La Push and watch the game with Billy and Jacob. I rolled my eyes as I got into my truck and headed for Angela's. I had on the new outfit Alice had given me, and I looked really cute, despite how I felt. I had to admit, I looked cute.

I drove up the street and cars were parking, kids walking across the lawn, and some drinking out of red cups on the sidewalk just laughing. I got out and started walking up the driveway. I was thrown a chorus of "Happy birthday Bella!" from every direction. I was suddenly self conscious. I thought about making a run for it, when Angela caught my arm.

"Bella! I'm so happy your here!" She handed me a drink and led me into the crowd of people and loud music. People were dancing and swaying to the beat. It looked like a club on the verge of breaking out into a rave. Slowly I got into the party. Maybe it was the countless drinks I had, I couldn't remember.

I danced around the room, bumped into people, clung to them so I wouldn't fall until I ran into Jacob Black. "What are you doing here?" I slobbered out. Was I drunk? Jacob looked at me worriedly. He grabbed my arm and led me out of the house. "Get your hand offs ofva me!" I didn't make any sense and my words were slurring.

"Your drunk. Lets go."

He dragged me down the path to the truck and pushed me into the passenger side. I fought his grip, but I felt like I might puke. He ran to the other side and got in. The keys already in his hands.

I don't remember much after that point, other than Jacob was holding me close and kissing my cheek. When I awoke a while later, my world turned upside down.

Laying in a bed I didn't know, in a room that wasn't mine. My clothing was gone, and a hot male body lay next to me in deep sleep. I sat up quickly and pulled the blanket around me and looked to his boy. Suddenly I felt like I would get sick. The boy was naked, and that boy was Jacob Black!
