Chapter 5 – The party.
Whilst exiting the hospital where I'd surely had the best hour of my life, so far, I thought that there were at least three absolutely excellent reasons that today was a good day. First was the obvious, that I'd come close to having sex with the most breathtakingly beautiful man on the planet. Second was that it was Saturday, so there was no school tomorrow which meant I could get drunk and third was that it was my best friends, Alice's, birthday today which meant one the best parties of the year. Not that I liked parties, it was quite the opposite, I did everything in my power to avoid parties altogether, But Alive always won, unfortunately.
"Please! Please come to my birthday party on Saturday night, its going to be HUGE!" Alive pleaded to me knowing I hated parties without any exceptions, but knowing at the same time that I always gave in to her somehow. No one should've taught that evil little pixie the puppy pout.
"Of course, you know I wouldn't miss it for the world. But can I at least dress myself?" I asked already knowing the answer before I even asked; I don't know why I even bothered asking. Though this was the ONE exception to my phobia of parties... If it wasn't Alice's party, I wouldn't be going.
"Don't be silly, there's no way in HELL that I'm letting you dress yourself when you'll be attending my party. So I'll pick you up at lunchtime Saturday so we can get prepared." She just smiled, and then skipped gracefully to class. I have no idea how she was so hypo so early in the morning, it always astounded me.
Of course lunchtime Saturday was only thirty minutes away now, so I decided to have a shower and get some lunch and as soon as I'd finished the last bite, there Alice was, knocking on the door to put me through three hours or so of nothing but torture in 'preparation' for the party. I had to give it to the pixie though, when she was finished with me, even I thought I was hot with my denim short shorts and black AC/DC shirt on.
The guests started to arrive at 5pm, and by 6pm the place was absolutely PACKED! Alice got pulled away from me fairly quickly and I found myself alone so I decided to 'mingle'. I was walking towards the alcoholic punch, walking with my head down stupidly, when i walked into a family body.
"JACOB! Oh my god! What brings you here?" I asked as he scooped me up in one swift move and answered quickly saying "you of course, I haven't seen you in forever, what have you been up to?"
I thought about that for a second and decided not to tell him about Edward. "Nothing much, you?" For a moment I thought he noticed that I wasn't telling him everything, but then he said something that surprised me. "Leah and I broke up. And well, I don't think your ready for this part, but its because I said I thought I was in love with you."
I fell to my feet, stunned. I couldn't find the strength in myself to get up for a few moments until I noticed one certain person who was here. When I realised who I could see staring at me from across the room, I quickly got to my feet in one swift movement and walked out to the back yard. It took me a couple of seconds to register that Jacob was following me I decided I needed some fresh air, alone."Jacob, please go back inside, I need a couple of minutes to think alone." He must've realised that I was still in shock because he turned around straight away and walked back inside. I sat on the small garden seat and heard the door open from behind me, expectedly thinking it was Jacob, I turned around to tell him I still needed some space and just as I was about to speak, I realised that it wasn't Jacob that had open the door, it was Edward.
