Chapter 11. A not so happy birthday.

Elaina's POV

"Happy 73 Birthday Taylor!" We all shouted as Taylor came in the house. Rosalie pulled the string and hundreds of balloons fell from all around. "Wow guys." Taylor said pushing the balloons from his face. "Come this way Taylor. It's time for the games." I said grabbing his hand and pulling him to the middle of the living room. He didn't want to let go of my hand. I smiled at as I called Alice. "Game one Alice."

Alice pins a piñata to the ceiling. It was made out of lead. My idea. I smiled at Taylor as he smiled at me. I gave him a bat. "Swing away." I said smiling. He grabbed the bat and lined it up. Then he swung it hard and the piñata bursts open, plane tickets flying every where. Esme ran and picked them up handing them to Taylor. "Alice saw that there is some good game here. You like alligator right?" Esme said. "Georgia? Wow." I stood next to him and held his hand. "Of course you have to stay inside during the day. But I think it will be cool. Ready for your gifts?" I said pulling him over to the couch and sat him down.

He went through all our gifts. Carlisle gave him a new car, Esme gave him

some priceless watch, Edward , Bella and Nessie gave him money. Jasper and Alice gave him a free shopping spree at the mall. Rosalie gave him a journal. And Emmett, well Emmett gave him a condom. "I kept wondering if it would have worked for Eddie and Bells so I thought you might be able to use it." Taylor and Edward chased him about 2 thousand miles south. So after that ordeal. We cleaned up and we all went about doing our own things. I grabbed Taylor's hand and pulled him out side. "Let's go to the park." we got to the park and we sat on the swings. It was just now twilight.

We talked for a long time and soon it was dark. Some how we ended up in the middle of the field on the ground. "Did you have fun today?" I asked him. "Lots. Thank you." I smiled at him and kissed his cheek. He held my face with his hands and leaned down and kissed me. The kiss lasted until I had to breath. I backed away inhaling fast. Taylor kissed along my jaw as I caught my breath. I was laying down and he hovered over me. He kissed my passionately once again. I inhaled his scent that always over took me. Why was he so perfect? I felt so complete with him. I felt whole. Would this go away? Would the scars on my heart that seemed to disappear when I was with him, come back as soon as we were apart? Apart. I now know what Alice was trying to say.

Someone would try to keep us apart. Someone would try to hurt me. I sat up. I was scared. "We cant be apart. Ever." I said frantically. "Elaina, we will never be apart." I looked in his eyes and asked him a question that I knew he had could not lie about. Something about me made people tell me the truth when I ask them a question. "Taylor will you ever leave me?" He looked at me thinking about what to say. He had obviously not paid attention to my thought earlier. But he could not fight the force making him tell the truth.

"Elaina. I will do all in my power to make sure you are safe. I love you too much for you to get hurt. If staying with you means you are safe and happy then I will stay with you and hold your hand through life. But only if you are safe." I knew what he was saying. But I would not think of that now. I grabbed his hand and stared in his eyes. "Never let go." I told him. Never. He thought to me before leaning down and kissing me lightly on the lips. I loved Taylor. More than he could know. More than I could know even. I love you too. Taylor answered my unspoken words.

Taylor ran me home after that. He kissed me good night and left. I went down the hall and took a shower. I spent more time than needed in there, due to my thoughts racing through my head. He had said he would stay as long as I was safe. But wasn't that what Edward did to Bella? He said he would stay with her as long as she was safe, and then when he thought she was in danger, Edward left. Taylor might leave me. I would be alone. Alone. This was not a good thing. I stared hyperventilating.

I got out of the shower and got dressed. With my hair still soaked and dripping on the back of my shirt, I put my shoes on and ran out side. I had to find Taylor. I could not be alone. I knew I was acting crazy, but...what if he wasn't there in the morning? The insane part of my mind took over and before I knew it I was running down the road. After what seemed like for ever, I got weak. But I could not stop. I kept going but at a slower pace. The scars on my back burned. But the worse pain was my heart. The pain there hurt worse than anything. Taylor, Taylor, Taylor. That's all that ran though mind as I turned the corner. Then I froze. Where there once was a well lit street, now was pitch black. I ran through the thick blackness to where I knew their house was.

What I did not expect was the large rock on the street that I, of course, tripped over. I fell to the ground and pain shot through me. My head hit the ground and I put my hand on where it hurt. I felt wetness. Oh crap. Now I was going to die in the middle of the street a few miles from a house full of vampires. Then a thought came to me. There was a doctor in that very house. I had to go. I got up and started running to the Cullen home. I was so light heading. In fear of falling again I got on my hands and knees and started crawling. My eyes felt heavy. I had to make it. It was not time for me to die. Not alone. Please God don't let me die alone.

I laid on my back. I stared up at the bright stars in the sky. Then a memory came back of when I was three and I was in the park at night with my mom.

"Honey what is it?" Mommy said as I stared at the sky. "Where do the stars come from mommy?" I asked she laid on the ground next to me. "Well honey, when good people pass away, they go up there to look after the ones they love. And you see that big bright one?" She asked pointing to the moon. "Yeah." "Well that's God. And he looks after every one." I smiled as I reached to the sky. "Is granny up there too?" I asked happy at the thought. "Yes. And she will always be there looking after you. Even when Daddy and I aren't with you." I did not like it when mommy talked about that. I kissed mommy on the cheek. "I love you mommy." I told her. She smiled at me. "I love you too Elle."

Tears flowed down my face. "Granny please. Help me. Please." I said reaching to the sky. I loved granny. I love my mother and father. I loved Taylor. I had to live. But my head hurt so bad. My eyes closed and I fell into unconsciousness after I felt something cool touch the wound on my head, and a very worried yet thirsty voice screamed my name.
