The Party
Jake pulled me through the door; I say pulled because I was attempting to put up a fight, but a lot of good that was doing me. Right now I just wanted to feel comforted, feel wanted even and I doubted I would feel that inside considering Alice didn't want me shopping, and trust me Alice wanted everyone shopping! So I don't think I can be blamed for wanting to be outside. But because I was weaker than Jake, being outside really wasn't an option for me, so grudgingly I relaxed my body and let him lead me where he may. That just happened to be the empty living room...hold on, Empty?! My house is never empty, I live with a house full of freaking vampires for goodness sakes, how could the house be empty?
That's when everyone ran into the room, shouting a chorus of Happy Birthday's and we love you's. That's when it all fell together, they hadn't forgotten me, they were surprising me. 'A SURPRISE PARTY FOR THE SURPRISE' read the banner hanging from the walls. Fairy lights were hung across the ceiling and flowers covered every surface except a large table that held a mountain of presents and a large cake, probably large for Jake's benefit. Pink and gold streamers hung from every side of the walls and pictures of my accelerated child hood hug around the room. Alice!
I've heard stories about the Cullen's parties, usually things work out well but birthday parties, for those of us who actually age, don't tend to go too good. For example, my mum's eighteenth, I've heard that story many times but people don't tell me the ending, just that things worked out eventually. Everything was silent as I took in my surroundings. Now I felt silly for feeling unwanted. Emmett was the first to speak.
"So, do you like the banner? I thought of it." And he grinned proudly and looked at his work.
"It took him weeks to think of it mind" chided Rose who gazed up at him lovingly and snuggled closer into his side. We all knew she was joking because in a house full of vampires with immensely quick minds that could have been thought up in an instance.
"Happy Birthday Darling" spoke my mother as she embraced me in a tight hug and then turned to face my father.
"We all love you so much" he said as he too approached and embraced me.
"Can we just open the presents already?" Alice cried out impatiently before grabbing my hand and dragging me towards the only flower free surface in the room. "Open mine first!" and with that she shoved a pink parcel towards me.
Purposefully I took my time removing each bit of decoration individually until all I could do was open the box. Inside was a beautiful leather black jacket. The buttons were a dull silver and on them said 'Gucci' A slow beam spread across Alice's face as she saw my eyes widen.
"Alice, it's beautiful, I love it!" It was just so me, and she knew it.
"I am pretty good aren't I?" she joked. Just as I reached for the second parcel that was thrust at me everyone in the room turned to face the back wall that looked out upon the river. I turned to Jake, confused, but a second later I heard it too.
The voice we all knew only too well.
