Chapter 15

May arrived quickly, not that I had a problem with that. May meant my birthday, my sixteenth birthday. however there was a downside to sixteen. Sixteen meant that I only had one year left before I became a full vampire, and a full vampire meant no more ice cream for me. Damn!

Ever since that fateful day back in April, when Chace prevented me from falling down the stairs,

Chace and I had became awkward around each other. This worried me . I didn't like the wall that had formed between us. I had come up with two conclusions to Chace's current behavior, 1.) He felt the same way about me as I did but didn't know how to tell me. or 2.) He knew how I felt but he didn't feel the same way and thought he needed to distance himself from me. I hoped, I prayed, I need it to be the first conclusion.

My birthday arrived. Ah! I was finally sixteen. I could drive legally now. Edward took me the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) in Port Angeles that morning. I pasted the written test with flying colors and I did the same one the actual driving portion. Edward let me drive home.(Yes, Edward let me drive the Volvo.) The whole way home he was in ultimate father mode. He keep saying things like " My little girl is growing up" and "I still can't believe you're sixteen. It seems like yesterday you were begging me to let you have ice cream for breakfast."

"Dad, that was yesterday."

" Yeah, but still Beth that was not my point."

Once we got home, it was about 2 o'clock and Alice insisted that it was time to open presents. For the past two weeks I was forced to enact a mind blocks on all my family members minds to insure that my presents were kept a surprise. Anyway, first Alice informed me that I was going on a Hot Topic shopping spree because she finally accepted my sense of style. Jasper provided me with a brand new Fender Amp since, Of course, Emmett broke my other Fender Amp. Emmett gave me Guitar Hero Aerosmith and it wasn't even available in the states yet. Rosalie gave me My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy concert tickets complete with backstage passes. Edward and Bella gave me five new pairs of Converse to add to my collection. This brought the up to 245 different pairs of Converse.

Carlisle and Esme then brought me out to the garage. Esme put my eyes over my eyes and guided me to where she wanted me to go. When she removed her hands, I saw it! A black Mustang GT convertible! I was in love. I thanked everyone again, especially Carlisle and Esme. Carlisle handed me the keys then everyone left the garage. Everyone except Edward, yes, Edward.

"Before you go take the 'stang for a spin, follow me to the other garage." he said. The other garage? The Vanquish garage? Why would Edward want me to follow him there? Nevertheless, I followed my father.

Before we went in, Edward pulled out a blindfold and tied it around my head, covering my eyes once again.

"Dad, What are you doing?" I asked a bit annoyed. I didn't like not being able to see.

"Showing you the other part of your birthday present. Honestly, Beth, you didn't think that your Mother and I would only buy you shoes for your sixteenth birthday, did you? Come on." and he took my hand and led me into the garage. Suddenly I heard a car door open and Edward picked me up and set me into a vehicle. I heard the other door open and then close. My father took off the blindfold off and the first thing that caught my eye was the Ferrari symbol on the steering wheel. This little symbol caused me to go into hysterics.

"DAD! YOU DID NOT GET ME A FERRARI FOR MY BIRHTDAY! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU! NEVER EVER DOUBT MY LOVE FOR YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"

"You're welcome, Beth. I still can't believe you thought that your mother and I would get you a car for you sixteenth birthday." Edward said, shaking his head in disappointment.

I threw my arms around Edward's neck an said, more calmly, Thank you, Daddy!"

'You're welcome. Love." Edward replied simply. he leaned over and kissed the top of my head like he used to when I was younger.

He handed me the keys and we went for a drive. He taught me how to shift and how to properly drive a Ferrari, which was fast. It was the classic father/daughter driving lesson, with a twist.

I still hadn't seen the outside of my car, but I was sure that it was beautiful and amazing.

We made it back to the house some two hours later. I was fully educated on the proper techniques you should use to drive a car as amazing as a Ferrari. Edward never once lost his temper. He just remained calm, even when I would mess up.

Once, I stepped out of my car, I looked at the outside of my car for the first time, and it was just what I had expected. It looked so sleek. It was midnight black and I gave Edward another big hug.

Chace had been aloof all day. He hadn't said much to anyone all day either.

That night I had planned a quiet solitary Tim Burton movie marathon, starting with Sweeney Todd, The Corpse Bride, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Sleepy Hollow. I took my shower and I was all snuggled up in my blankets, right in the middle of Sweeney Todd, when there came a knock on my door.

"Beth, Can I come in?"

Sorry about the wait. I got a laptop and my wireless wasn't hooked up yet. Anyway, Please go and review!! I really enjoy the feedback!!
