Chapter 1
C'mon, Edward! Please?
Alice's usual annoying chitter chatter, in her head of course, was annoying me. A lot.
"Alice! If I say yes, what's going to happen if you throw this party for Bella?" I asked. I made up my mind quickly to see her vision.
Yes! Alice thought.
Immediately Alice got a vision of the party. Everything was going fine, and well, Bella was enjoying herself.
I approved of that, so I just let her to go find Esme to plan out this party. I walked to my piano, trying out a few different keys, seeing if there was a new composition for my angel on the way. I ran my fingers over the keys, and soon a melody formed. Alice heard, and came over to sit beside me on the piano bench. Alice and I composed a new composition within an hour or so.
I think we should record this composition and Bella's lullaby for her birthday gift. Alice thought.
I turned towards her and said, "That's a great idea. Let's get to it."
Right then, Emmett came bustling in. After him, came Jasper, and Carlisle. They went hunting, obviously. Emmett was replaying a scene in his head when he apparently attacked a bear and both Emmett and the bear fell down a steep hill. What a child I thought. He raised a questioning eyebrow at me, and I just shook my head at him.
Carlisle approached me then, and he said, "Edward, what are you up to?"
I laughed and said, "Alice and I are composing a few pieces to record for a birthday present for Bella's birthday."
Just then, Esme and Rosalie descended down the stairs. Rosalie had the same hard and cold look on her face whenever Bella was spoken of in the house, in her hearing range.
"Bella's birthday? Alice, are we throwing her a party?" Esme asked excitedly.
"Yes we are," Alice said triumphantly.
"Then don't you think we should go get some presents for her?" Esme asked.
--Flashback—
"No presents," Bella had mumbled.
"C'mon, Bella! You're going to be turning 18!" Alice said.
"I don't want to turn 18, I don't want presents, I don't want attention, and most of all, I don't want to be older than Edward," Bella had said.
"Okay then, love. Am I at least allowed to wish you a happy birthday then?" I asked.
"Nope," Bella replied.
--End Flashback--
"She doesn't want any, but I think we should get her at least one gift; she told me not to spend too much money on her," I replied to Esme.
"Well, Carlisle and I already bought her a present. We bought 2 tickets to Florida so Bella can go see her mom with you." Esme said.
"And me, Jazz, and Rose bought her a stereo for her truck!" Emmett said.
"Are you serious?" I asked. "So is this what the random thinking was the past few days? Blocking your thoughts from me?"
"Yeah, pretty much," Emmett replied.
I groaned. "Okay, whatever. I'm going hunting; anyone want to come?" I asked.
Alice said a chirpy, "I do!"
Well, this might turn out to be interesting…
