Chapter 6:
Rosalie stabs me
Light entered my room window and hit my face. It still felt too early. I groaned and turned around. I heard a soft laugh coming from the other side of my room. I opened my eyes just in time to see Jacob walking over.
"Good morning Sleeping Beauty" he said as he slid in bed with me.
I looked at him curiously and slightly afraid. He wasn't allowed to spend the night in my room. My dad was really strict about it. Which I don't know why since he used to spend the night with mom ALL the time. He laughed as he read the hesitation on my face.
"As much as I wish I could've, I didn't spend the night. Alice woke me up and made me get ready 10 minutes ago" he explained.
I felt stupid. "Sorry, good morning" I repeated as I sat up and wrapped my arms around his neck. He kissed me lightly at first but then really got into it. Pretty soon, I was breathless.
He just chuckled. "Happy birthday" he whispered as his lips trailed down my neck.
"Oh my gosh!" I said as I jumped up, startling Jacob.
"I'm finally 16!" I yelled to the world. I started jumping on the bed and pulled Jacob with me.
"Nessie" I heard my dad call in a disapproving tone but I didn't care.
"I can't believe I forgot!" I said excitedly ignoring my dad.
"You forgot your birthday?" Jake asked curiously.
"I know, who does that right" I said stupidly. "I just hope they don't make a big party. I like gifts but attention, not so much. I'm a klutz, just like my mom" I said shaking my head.
I tripped on nothing and that just further proved my point. It looked like Jacob wanted to say something else when my aunt . . . I mean Alice, just barged into my room.
"What happened to knocking" I asked irritated at her for interrupting my moment.
"Jacob, out" she commanded.
"What?! Why?!" I yelled as I clung to him.
She threw Jake a glare and he undid my hands. I looked at him sadly but he just smiled and said "I'll be across the hall, don't worry" as he left.
I glared at my Aunt and bit my lip so I wouldn't yell at her. I felt calm quickly so I knew Jasper must be nearby. 'Tell uncle Jazz to cut it out dad.' I thought in a calm/irritated voice. I knew my dad was listening, it was an annoying but real part of life . . . or existence in our case. I wanted to be mad at Alice but I just couldn't.
"No way are you going to deprive me of my fun. I already have your mom and dad pinned so don't try to argue. We are having a big celebration with cake and gifts and shopping" but I interrupted her.
"Aunty" I whined.
"No way Nessie. This is going to be the perfect party. Look, I have the perfect outfit" she said as she held up a short, form fitting, violet dress that wrapped around my neck.
I just gasped. "My dad will kill me if I wear that Aunty. If not, Jake will stare and then we will both die" I whispered furiously.
"He promised to let me dress you how ever I wanted as long as it was in clothes" she told me.
"That traitor" I muttered. She heard me.
"Like I said, I had them both pinned down, plus, I always win. Now, let's get you ready" she said as she towed me to her room.
I saw Jacob and he just threw me an apologetic glance. I smiled back. Before I could get in Alice's room, I thought I saw Emmet drag Jake into my dad's room. Then I heard a crash.
"Boys" my aunt yelled.
We went into her room. It had a built in bathroom the size of a salon. She guided me to the section she had set up especially for getting people ready. She had a bathtub the size of a bed. It had bubbles and smelled like flowers. Suddenly, I had no clothes on and was dumped in the tub full of water.
"Alice" I growled trying to get up.
Rosalie came up behind me and held me down.
"It's warm so no worries" she said as she washed my hair. Alice was doing my nails. I just gave up and decided to relax.
"I can take a bath by myself " I muttered as I closed my eyes.
A few minutes later, they pulled me up and wrapped me in a towel.
"Guys! " I said since I had started shivering.
Since they didn't get cold I guess they didn't care. Alice sat me in a chair as she started to do my make-up. Rosalie was doing my hair. I just closed my eyes again. I really hated when they did this but it was an annoying part of being half vampire, half human. Everyone was faster and stronger than you. I felt Rosalie tugging at my hair and the brushes pass over my cheeks. That felt nice . . .

"Nessie, come on, wake up" I felt aunt Alice say in the background.
I felt something tug at my arm but I just closed my eyes harder. Suddenly, something stabbed my back.
"Ow!" I said as I jumped up 3 feet in the air.
I landed on my feet and started rubbing my back. I saw Rosalie holding a pin.
"What was that for!" I yelled at her.
"You wouldn't wake up" she said as she and Alice laughed.
I just grumbled and muttered. They were so stupid sometimes.
"Wait here" Alice said as she ran to her room.
She came back with my dress, high heels, and her jewelry bag. I started backing away, I couldn't take anymore of this. I already endured 2 hours.
"No, no, no no no no no no no! Stop it Alice! No more" I yelled as I backed towards the window.
Rosalie and Alice ran towards me. I tried to jump out the window but they caught me before I did. I struggled in Rosalie's arms as Alice got closer. She took me in her hands.
"Calm down Nessie. It's just 10 more minutes" she said calmly.
"The faster we finish, the faster you can see the mutt" Rosalie said.
I quickly let them put the dress on. As they slipped it on, my worst fears had been confirmed. It was shorter then a mini skirt.
"Alice!!!!!!! Do you want me to die??" I whispered frantically.
"Oh save your breath, we already talked your dad can't do anything" she said as she strapped in my high heels.
"Alice, I will promise I will fall all over the place" I said as I leaned down to take them off.
Alice slapped my hand away.
"No" she said like you would say to a dog. Great. Now I was a dog!
"They are part of the outfit, and if you fall, Jacob will catch you so no worries" she said as she put on my diamond earnings.
Rosalie was attaching my necklace. I looked in the mirror and gasped. I looked a million times better than I had ever seen Rosalie or Alice. My god, they are amazing. The dress contrasted amazingly with pale skin, which brought out my eyes and hair. My hair looked like it was a princesses it had a diamond tiara but it didn't look like too much.
"Alice . . . Rosalie . . . this is . . .wow . . . I mean . . . amazing. . . .my hair . . . " but I couldn't describe it.
"You're welcome" they said as they kissed each of my cheeks.
"I have to check up on Jacob so I'll be right back . . . 16 years and still he has no sense of fashion" I heard her mutter as she left.
I was left alone with Rosalie. She started picking up the cosmetics and I just watched her run all over the place, oblivious to the toilet paper stuck to her shoe.
"Come on Nessie, time to see Jacob's and Edward's eyes fall out of their sockets" Alice said jokingly as she walked in and tugged on my arm.
Or, I hoped she was joking. You could never be sure with and immortal family.
APOV:
"I have to check up on Jacob so I'll be right back . . . 16 years and still he has no sense of fashion" I muttered as I left.
16 years!! Well, I wasn't going to let him mess this up. I hoped Emmet and Jasper did a good job of getting him ready. If not, they would find themselves in pink dresses and bows one day. I walked over to Jacob's room and tapped lightly, in case they were naked.
"Who is it" Emmet's booming voice came from inside.
"Hel" but Emmet's hand over Jacob's mouth stopped his plea.
"Just be quiet for like 5 minutes will you" Emmet said thoroughly enjoying kidnapping a werewolf. Leave it to Emmet to make a joke of everything.
"Me, who else, open up"
"Me who"
"Emmet, if this door isn't open in 7 seconds I will tear apart your jeep and burn the pieces" I threatened.
I had no time for jokes. It was almost 8:00. Bella and Edward would be back from the party store anytime now. They left about an hour ago but they are pretty quick. Leave it to Emmet to pop all the balloons in the kitchen for target practice.
"1. . . 2 . . . 3 . . .4" I started.
"Grab him" I heard Emmet tell Jasper and then I heard a crash.
Suddenly the door flew open. I peered inside and saw Jacob. He was all dressed but tied up in rope and struggling on top of Jasper who and just been thrown to the wall and dropped the frames.
"Emmet! I told you to hold him not take him hostage" I yelled.
"Whatever"
"Just go down stairs and wait for Edward and Bella with Jasper and Jake, I'll bring Nessie down soon.
He was about to add something when I heard the front door open.
"Nessie?" both Edward and Bella called.
Crap!! "Go Emmet" I said as I shoved him out the door. "Keep them busy" I said.
I ran to Jake and undid his ropes.
"Sorry Jake, Emmet is . . . well Emmet. Head on down" I told him.
"No. I want to see Nessie" he contradicted.
I glared. "Jake, if you value your life, you will listen to Alice and head down with me" Jasper said as he tugged on Jakes arm. He gave up and let himself be pulled down stairs. I ran back to my room.
"Come on Nessie, time to see Jacob's and Edward's eyes fall out of their sockets" I said jokingly. As I tugged her arm and pulled her down.
