Time to get this show on the road and hopefully have a great night and then I'll have to take Jazzy aside later and tell him about my vision.
Oh god, I don't want to lose him. Happiness. That's all that is important. His happiness and her happiness.
But, what about my happiness? What about Edwards as well?

Chapter 1: The Party
0o Bella's Point Of View o0
God damn it! Why does Alice have to force this stupid party on me?! I don't even want this god forsaken 'celebration'! But, of course, Edward would take his sister's side, as usual, and convince me to let her do whatever the fuck she wants with me! Why in the name of our lord do I even let her?!
'Cause, as soon as she sticks out that bottom lip of hers, you're practically goo in her hands. And even if you survive the first phase, which I doubt you ever will, you're so-called 'loyal' boyfriend doesn't take your side! No! God forbid he actually defends you and tells his 'sister' to fuck off! No, he always takes her side and acts like her little bitch! So, why don't you just dump that control freak?!
Why, Evil Bella, how nice of you to appear just when I'm on my way to the party with Edward? Wow, you're so compassionate!
Number one, my name is Isa. Number two, you and I both know that this is not how you are. This is not who you are, Edward changed you. You are not this weak, shy, little girl that goes around and obeys his every command. This is not what I call a healthy relationship. I know Edward means well, but if he really loved you, he would accept the real you. The badass girl who goes around riding motorcycles and does whatever the fuck she wants, not letting an ancient 17 year old virgin boss her around!
Yeah, you're right. But you also know that Edward and I won't last forever. He's my first love and we are bound to separate sooner or later, so I'll enjoy being taken care of while it lasts.
Whatever, have it your own way, but don't blame me when your vampified family leaves you for the wolves. Oh, and by the way, something bad is going to happen, I can feel it. I don't know what it is, but be careful and cautious. Keep your eyes open at all times. She warned lowly disappearing into the back of my mind.
"Are you alright, love?" Edward asked in concern as we raced through the streets in his silver Volvo.
"Yeah," I smiled as I laced my fingers in his. I looked into his deep golden eyes and gave him a peck on the lips, knowing he is driving like a maniac. He is a vampire after all.
"Okay, love." He replied but didn't look convinced.
Well, what was I supposed to say? Hey, I've got an annoying voice in my head that tells me what to do all the time? Hell no! He would chuck me into a mental hospital for sure.
My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the engine turning off. I turned and looked at Edward, hoping for reassurance. I just know something is going to happen tonight, and it doesn't feel good.
He gave me a smile in return, my favorite crooked smile that used to bedazzle me. Edward got out of the car at vampire speed and helped me out. We slowly walked hand in hand up the steps and into the house. Once we reached the living room, I noticed they had decorated everything. A huge 'Happy Birthday Bella' sign hung from the white ceiling. There were candles on the tables and an enormous cake on a glass table with many small wrapped-up boxes surrounding it.
Everything looked perfect. Esme and Carlisle were smiling warmly while Em was grinning like a madman and Rosalie, well, you can guess. I saw Jasper in the corner of the room with a pained smile on his handsome face. His large amber eyes flickered to mine and just for a second, our eyes met and my body felt like it was set on fire. His blond curls reached his chin as they covered his eyes slightly. There was one word for him...beautiful. WHAT THE FUCK?! Did I just say Jasper was handsome and beautiful?!
Yeah! You actually kinda fucking did! And you know as well as I do, that little tugging in your chest? Well that lasso around your heart is leading you to him and it will get very painful if he leaves. Isa informed me in a sickly sweet voice.
I'm just gonna say this once, so you better listen. SHUT THE FUCK UP OR I WILL KICK YOU OUT OF MY HEAD!
Ooh, I'm so scared! She bit back sarcastically. Why can't you just listen to me once in your pathetic life?!
Fuck you!
I am so outta here! I will not tolerate being abused like this! And that is how you get rid of Evil Bella.
I looked around and saw Jasper giving me a confusing look. Oops! Empath! Must have felt my swift change in emotions. Oh shit! I really hope he didn't feel my lust. Shit!
"Bella! You made it!" Alice squealed, interrupting me from my thoughts. She bounced over to me and gave me a huge hug. But something was off about her. Like she's trying to put on a happy mask on the outside, but on the inside she is crying. Something's wrong, but I kept my mouth shut.
"Of course I would! I told you I would," I grinned back, trying to ignore the tugging in my heart. "You really didn't have to do this guys." I looked at everyone with a shy smile.
"It's our pleasure, honey. We haven't celebrated a birthday for decades. The last time was Emmett's birthday and it didn't turn out that well." Esme laughed softly as her eyes glazed over at the memory.
"Happy birthday, Belly-boo!" Em boomed, picking me up fireman style and swinging me around.
"Put me down! Emmy-bear!" I giggled and began pounding his back. Emmett is so much like a big teddy bear sometimes!
Em finally put me down, but not before making my head swirl with dizziness."Sorry Bella-bear," he apologized.
"It's okay Emma."
"Hey! That's mean!"
I rolled my eyes at his statement.
"Okay, enough arguing. Time for presents!" Alice chirped, bouncing on the balls of her feet as she handed me a white envelope. "From Esme and Carlisle!"
I took the envelope and carefully opened it. I reached in and pulled out two plane tickets. I looked at Esme and Carlisle questioningly. "Thanks?"
"We thought it would be nice for you to visit Renee this summer," Carlisle stated with a small smile.
"Thank you so much! I really did want to visit Renee," I say thankfully. They really are the best parents a girl could ask for.
"You're welcome, honey. We thought it would be nice for you to visit her before you graduate," Esme grinned.
"This one is from Emmett!" Alice said excitedly, handing me a large wrapped up box.
I shook the box, expecting to hear some clunking in there, but there was nothing. Silence.
"Already installed it in your truck," Em answered my unspoken question. "Finally got a decent sound system for that piece of jun-"
"Hey!" I interrupted with a playful glare. "Don't diss the truck."
He just chuckled in return. One of these days, Emmett, one of these days, POW! Right in the kisser! Damn! Been watching too many The Honeymooners episodes.
"Here Bella, this one's from me, but Alice helped me pick it out." Rosalie said with a small forced smile on her beautiful face as she handed me a small box wrapped in green wrapping paper.
"Thank you," I said gratefully even though she is a complete bitch to me24/7. I began opening it up, but my index finger slipped on the edge of the paper, giving me a small cut.
"Shoot! Paper cut," I muttered, holding up my finger to examine it just as a drop of blood fell on the carpet.
Everything happened in slow motion from then. I saw Jasper take a step back just as Edward screamed, "NO!"
Suddenly, I was thrown back into the glass table, crashing into the wall and covering myself in cake as I went. I ignored the sharp pain that shot up my arm as I looked up at Jasper. Seeing him like this broke my heart. He was restrained by Rosalie and Emmett as his golden eyes darted frantically around the room. It was odd that his eyes were still gold, yetmy arm was gushing out blood. There was nothing but concern and worry for me in those amber filled eyes. I turned to look at Edward; just to see his black, hungry eyes trained on my wounded arm like it was a piece of meat.
"I'm sorry, Bella." I heard Jasper whisper as Rosalie and Emmett dragged him outside, with Alice tagging along behind them.
Edward closed his eyes and walked outside without looking me in the eyes.
"Oh, honey! I'm so sorry! I never meant for this to happen!" Esme sobbed as Carlisle helped me up. I stood up mechanically, not caring that my armwas on fire, and let him lead me into his study to fix up my arm.
I knew from then on that Jasper wasn't the one attacking me, no; he was saving me from...Edward. I owe Jasper my life. But, how did he resist my blood when Edward could barely control himself?
