A/N: Hey everyone! Sorry for the replace of the chapter. Someone pointed out to me some of my mistakes. To help with the confusion, Paul and Emily are together, and Embry and Catie are together. Thanks for pointing it out to me. If I make any other mistakes, please tell me!!!
The drama was finally over and everything was ok. Of course, it took about a week for it to end but I was fine with it. Sam and I were unbelievably happy. Every night he would come sleep with me in my bed, just cuddled with me till early morning. The pack was great; they were all my best friends. Leah and I finally settled our problems and hung out everyday, along with Jake. I felt as if I was living a fairytale. The love between us was amazing. It was something I would never forget or experience again. I loved Sam with all my heart, nothing could change that.
I woke up this morning to someone playing with my hair. I opened one eye to see Sam looking down at me with a smirk on his face. "Hi!" he announced happily. I groaned and shut my eye again.
"Too early." Was all I said before pulling the covers over my face.
I heard him chuckle and pull them back. He slid me up closer to his face and whispered in my ear. "Happy birthday." He said grinning like a little girl. I rolled my eyes and slid back down. I mumbled for him to leave me alone so I could sleep but I don't think he got it.
"Come on, get up!" he said excitedly.
"Sammmmm." I lifted my head and whined
"Come on Bells! The guys should be here soon!" he tried to push me out of bed, but I refused to budge.
"What do you mean, 'the guys should be here soon'"? I asked with a glare.
"Well, it is your birthday, and it's about noon, and I asked the pack to come over around one. So you got to get up, come on!" He explained and tried to push me out of the bed again.
I groaned and put my head back down, not moving an inch.
"Hey. You're lucky they came at this time. Jake wanted to come over at 8am to surprise you and spend the day with you." He declared.
"Ughh, ok. Fine. Im getting up. Geez." I said crabby. Sam chuckled at my attitude.
Before I could walk out of my room, Sam grabbed me by my waist and gave me a kiss. He smiled up at me, more joyful than usual.
"What's gotten into you?" I asked him suspiciously.
"Cant I be happy that it's my girlfriends birthday?" he asked.
I looked at him suspiciously for a second before I gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "Sure sure."
I walked out of the room and headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower and get dressed. After I was done, I walked back into my room to see Sam was gone. Hmm…where is he?
"Sam!" I called.
"Down here babe!" he yelled from the kitchen. I listened close and I could hear other people in the kitchen snickering and breathing. The pack. I smiled and walked down the stairs to the kitchen.
"Hey Guys." I yelled while coming down the stairs
When I walked into the kitchen they all looked at me in shock.
"Uhh, happy birthday?" Quil said confused.
"How did you know we were here Bells?" Jake asked with a party hat on his head. I laughed at him before getting a hold of myself.
"Super hearing remember?" I asked while pouring some juice.
Everyone nodded.
"So what do you wanna do today Bells?" Le-Le asked. "Girl time?" she said with a smile.
Before I could answer the guys grabbed me.
"No! She is ours too!" Seth cried
"Don't take her!" Sam said.
"No going to the mall!" Jake said with his arms wrapped around my waist.
"You're staying with us!" Quil stated
"Don't even think of saying yes." Embry said with a serious tone
I laughed at all of them, and looked at Leah. Leah and I laughed hysterically. Then, the door opened. Collin and Brady came in and stopped dead in their tracks looking at all of the guys hugging me. I looked at their faces and laughed even harder. Seth, Sam, Quil, Embry, and Jake were all blushing.
"Ok ok, no going to the mall." I said calming down. All of the guys sighed in content and stepped back, all of them except Sam. He wrapped his arms around me from behind and hugged me tight. I smiled up at him.
"So then what's the plan today?" I asked.
They all shrugged.
"How bout we…" I thought.
Everyone waited for an answer. "I got nothin." I said giving up.
"Exactly. So girl time?" Leah said again. All the guys gave her a glare. We snickered a little. Leah put her hands up in surrender.
"Alright then, how bout a party?" she asked. All of the guys put a grin on their faces and looked at me. I looked at all of them confused.
"Huh?" was all I said.
"You didn't think we wouldn't do something for your 19th birthday, now would you?" Sam asked mischievously.
I smiled at all of them. "What party?"
"It's going to be an awesome party!" Leah exclaimed. I smiled at her. "But first…Makeover for Bella!" she announced.
She grabbed me and dragged me along before I had a chance to run away. I could hear the guys snicker from the kitchen, so I quickly ran down the stairs before Leah could catch me.
"Traitors!" I yelled at them. They laughed and waved to me. Leah was right behind me and took me by the shoulders.
"Let's go Bella. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. I prefer the easy way, but I am open to the hard way if I have to." She threatened. I sighed and walked gloomily upstairs.
She did my hair and makeup. She put my hair in a messy, curly bun with little glittery stone gem thing-y's. I made sure she didn't over due my makeup. She made me put on some mascara and eyeliner, and a little bit of eye shadow. After everything was done, it turned out to look a little darker than natural but that's how it ended after we compromised about it. She picked out my clothes too. We fought about what I was to wear. She said a dress and I said jeans. She said a tube top and I said short sleeves. We ended up on making a deal. I would wear a jean skirt because it was like a dress and blue jeans. For the shirt, I was to wear this open short sleeve top. (See profile) It wasn't as 'boring', as Leah called it, as a short sleeve shirt but it wasn't as revealing as a tube top. I had a lacy 'low' (I classified it as) purple tank top. (See profile) For my shoes, I got to wear my black low top converse. She said she didn't really care about the shoes, since I cooperated nicely, for the most part she said. After we were finally done, she let me go downstairs. I practically ran down the stairs to find the kitchen empty.
"They are getting ready themselves." Le-le said.
I sighed and she chuckled. "alright, well I am going to use your bathroom and room real quick to get myself ready, ok?" she asked.
"Sure sure." I said and stared out the window, waiting for her to come back down.
My thoughts drifted off to James. My mind was still curious to what he was up to. It's been a while and he hasn't acted. Now that's weird. I snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Leah call my name.
"You ok?" she asked concerned, sitting across from me.
"Yea. Why?" I asked.
"Cause I have been calling your name for the past two minutes and you just sat there like a lump on a log." She stated.
"Oh, sorry, I was just thinking. Ready to go?" I said not wanting to stay on the subject. She eyed me carefully before standing up and walking out of the kitchen.
"Yup! Let's go!"
We drove to Emily's house. I smiled. "You guys planned this at Emily's?"
"Yea, she wanted to be apart of it. She was happy to host it, actually."
I laughed. Of course Emily was excited to plan a party. I think she should have been a party hostess or something. I thought to myself.
After we got out of the car, Leah started to pull me to the backyard. When we got there, nobody noticed we were here. Sam and Seth were blowing up balloons. Embry was hanging them. Jake and Emily were walking out to the snack table to put some stuff down. Collin and Brady were hanging the lights on trees, Quil and Paul were talking and eating some snacks from the table, and the new couple, which im guessing was Jared and Kim, were standing around talking to each other. They all had party hats on which made me smile like a little kid. Leah and I took the scene in, smiling at our big family. Leah then cleared her throat and everyone looked at us.
"Happy birthday!" Embry said.
"Dude, this is the second time she snuck up on us!" Seth whined. I laughed a little and walked towards him.
"That's ok Sethy. It looks amazing!"
Sam stopped blowing up a balloon and came and kissed me. We smiled at each other for a second before I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Emily. We hugged each other tightly.
"Ahh! Emily! Thank you!" I said happily and pulled back.
She laughed. "It's no problem Bella! Happy birthday!"
After that, everyone ended up coming up to me to give me a hug and say happy birthday- everyone except the newbie's. I decided to act upon my impulses and say hi to them myself. I walked up to them and stuck out my hand.
"Hi. Im Bella." I said politely. I saw Sam out of the corner of my eye looking at us carefully.
"Jared." He said taking my hand. "And this is my girlfriend and imprint Kim." He said with a proud loving smile.
"Nice to meet you both." I said shaking Kim's hand.
"So you guys are the newest of the family huh?" I asked
"Yup." He said.
Kim excused herself to go to the bathroom and I could see Jared's face fall a little when he let her go.
Jared and I talked a little while Kim was gone. He was actually a really nice and caring guy.
When Kim returned, so did his smile. They both were really sweet. I knew they would fit well into the pack. The three of us talked for a while- about school, life, the pack, etc.
Then I heard my name get called. "Bella!" Embry said.
"Coming!" I yelled back. I excused myself from Jared and Kim and ran over to Embry.
"What's up?" I asked him.
"Who's Caitlyn?" he asked nervously.
"What?" I asked shocked. I haven't seen Caitlyn since I moved away from my mom.
"Who's Caitlyn?" he asked again.
"How did you know that name?" I asked him.
"Bella!" I heard.
I turned my head to see Caitlyn by the entrance to the backyard. A huge smile appeared on my face and I ran towards her.
"Catie!" I yelled and hugged her!
"Bellsey!!!" She yelled back, hugging me tight. After we broke we started to catch up.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
'Did you honestly think I would miss your 19th birthday?" she asked.
I smiled. "But how did you know where to come?"
"Your dad." She said simply.
"My dad?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "Yea, I called your house phone, after looking it up in the phonebook. He answered and I explained I was your best friend back in phoenix blah blah blah."
"And he told me about this party a bunch of guys were putting on?" she asked with a mischievous grin on her face. I laughed.
"Yup! The pack!" I said proudly. I went around and introduced her to everyone. When we got to Embry I could see this twinkle in both of their eyes. I looked between the two before shouting "Hell No!"
Everyone looked at me and Embry looked embarrassed. "Seriously?" I asked turning towards Embry. Sam put his cup down from where he was at the snack table talking to Emily and came over to me. "What's up?" he asked. He looked between Caitlyn and Embry and it clicked. "Oh." Was all he said. I let out a deep breath. "Yup."
"What's wrong Bells?" Catie Said.
"Nothing, nothing." I said.
Emily tried to make a diversion by announcing I should open up my presents.
I opened up Jakes first. He got me this bracelet with a wolf carved charm. "Thanks Jakey." I murmured.
Seth and Leah got me the newest version of an iPod. "Wow, Thank you!" I said shocked. Quil, Paul, Collin, and Brady got me a laptop.
"Ahh! This is amazing! No more slow internet!" I squealed. Everyone laughed at my enthusiasm. Lastly was Sam's. He got me a diamond necklace.
"Sam, this is…wow. I can't believe you got me…wow." Was all I could stutter. He laughed at me. "Here, let me put it on." He said. He took the diamond necklace out of its box and put it on me. I touched it and smiled up at him.
"Thank you." Was all I said before I kissed him.
"Ok. Break it up." Catie said. "I got you something too!"
I looked at her. "You did?"
"Yup, go in the driveway."
I hopped out of Sam's lap and ran to the driveway. I shrieked and everyone ran to where I was.
"You brought Storm?!" I asked her.
She nodded excitedly.
"Oh my goodness! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I said and gave her a hug.
I ran my hand over my bike.
"You have a motorcycle?" Jake asked me incredulous.
"Yup! She is my baby. I had her in phoenix."
"Your mom let you have a motorcycle?" Sam asked shocked.
"Well...not really. She didn't say no, but she didn't approve either. I think it was the best invention to annoy her." I smirked.
"Hahaha, it was. Remember that one time where you did that cool flip over your mom's car and then went on the highway to run away." Catie laughed. I chuckled at first until I saw all of the glares. I cleared my throat and looked at the pack.
"Oh come on. It's not that bad. Plus I can heal myself remember?"
They still glared at me.
"Stop glaring at me. This is my baby." I said getting on her.
"Where are you going?" Jake and Sam asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes at the two of them.
"Hey Catie. Did you bring Sunny too?" I asked her
"Sunny?" Leah asked.
"Yeah, it's Catie's bike."
"Yea, I did, but I need to fix her up a little. I only got her up to 190. I can't get it any faster, so I need your help Bellsey." She complained.
"190?" Jake stuttered.
"mmhhmmm." Was all I said while looking at her bike.
"How fast do your bikes go?" Seth asked in curiosity.
I put my head down and blushed.
"Well mine goes 190 but Bella's goes…"
I quickly put a hand over her mouth.
"Hehe lets not…reveal what doesn't really matter. Who cares about the speed?" I asked metaphorically.
"Oh come on Bella. I won't be embarrassed. It's ok." Catie said.
"How fast?" Sam growled to me.
I sighed. "It goes about 280." I said.
All of the guys choked on their own spit.
"What was their normal speed?" Jake asked stunned.
"Mine was about 150 and Bella's was about 120. Right Bells?" she asked me.
"Yea, around there." I mumbled.
"Bella. What was the real regular speed?" Jake growled towards me. I got up and looked at him. "I fixed mine from 110 to 280 and Catie fixed hers to 120 to 190."
Jakes eyes popped out of his head.
"Why didn't you tell us that you could fix up bikes?" Embry wondered
I shrugged. "I don't know. I thought I would never see my bike again. Plus it wasn't something I usually I brag about."
"Don't…usually brag about?" Jake said stunned.
He walked over to my bike and I put a shield around it before he could lay his hand on it.
"Bella." He whined.
"Jake." I whined back.
Everyone laughed a little.
He gave me a puppy dog looked and I gave up. I let him run his hands over the bike, checking all of the parts out "Alright! Im gunna take storm on a ride. You coming Catie?"
"Yea, sure." She said getting on her bike. "Anyone want a ride?" I looked at Embry who seemed to have an inner battle. I put a hand on his shoulder and nodded for him to go with catie. He smiled at me.
"Oh Hell no!" Sam protested. I sighed and got on my bike. "Sammm" I whined.
"Bella, its way too dangerous. You could get hurt, or even die! I mean 280! Geez Bella!" he said panicky. I rolled my eyes and waited for him to calm down.
"I'll go with her!" Paul said, stepping out of the cluster. I put my helmet on and started up my bike. Paul climbed on the back and I handed him a helmet. "Ready?" I asked.
"Yup!" he said holding my waist. We were off, just like that.
I could hear Sam yell my name, but I just kept going. I didn't go too fast, just about 200, so Sam wouldn't freak so much. We drove around forks- I used it as my time to clear my head. I thought about Embry imprinting on Catie and about the dangers of James that still haunted me. We made it back to Emily's in about 20 minutes.
Once we were back Embry and I took off our helmets. "That was awesome Bella!" Paul exclaimed getting off his bike and handing me the helmet.
I put the helmets back onto the bike and got off. "Thanks Paul!"
"Bella!" Sam said. He ran towards me and hugged me.
"Hi Sam." I said bluntly. "Im ok. I didn't go too fast, don't worry." I said.
"Are Embry and Catie back yet" I asked Leah.
"Yeah they are in the back…wait!" Leah said as I headed to the backyard.
I walked in to see Embry and Catie full on making out. "Ahh!" I yelled shielding my eyes. They quickly pulled apart. "Bella!" they shouted. I peeked out of my hands to make sure it was safe, and looked the two over. Their lips were red from sucking each others faces off. "I think im scarred for life." I told Sam. He and the pack laughed while Catie and Embry blushed like tomatoes. "Come on, its time to sing happy birthday." He said, guiding me to the table.
Emily brought out the cake and they all sang to me.
"Make a wish!" Emily exclaimed.
I thought about it for a second before blowing out the candles.
I wish everything would turn out alright.
