*****Hey guys I know that this part is short. I hope you like it.*****
Chapter 2 lying
"Can we not go through this today, Bella? It's not going to be your last birthday. Oh yeah, you are going to a birthday party, and there's no way your getting out of it this time.". Edward said.
I needed to make this as believable as possible. He would think that I was up to something if I didn't argue with him about this. So here it goes.
"Edward, look, I don't want to go to this party. You of all people know that I don't like birthday parties. They're horrible. Please respect my decision, Edward." I pleaded.
"No, Bella. You are going to this party and that's final. None of us have held a birthday party since when Emmett was turned. So, please, be good tonight at your birthday party." Edward said.
I had better make this good. "Please Edward. I really don't want to go to this party. Can't we just skip it?" I asked, all the while hoping that he would say no. Elizabeth didn't say that I couldn't do this. I knew that this was the only way I could stop him from getting suspicious.
His eyes hardened and his lips thinned. I knew that he was really getting mad now. This would be the best time to stop arguing and do as he says. "Bella, you are going to this party whether you like it or not. And you will have a good time." He said, his fury evident in his voice. He said each word slowly, enucinating each word, as if he was explaining this to a three year old.
I opened my mouth to change the subject, but before any sound could come out of my mouth, his lips touched mine. It was a hard kiss, too because he was irritated at me for trying to get out of my birthday party. Little did he know that these were half protests. I knew that I had to go to this party. But boy, was the kiss sweet. He broke apart, and looked at me with tender love in his eyes. I hope I don't start crying now, I thought.
"Now, go get ready for school, Bella." Edward ordered me. He got me out of bed. As soon as he made me stand up, he pushed me gently towards the bathroom.
I rolled my eyes when he did that. I guess that I can let him order me and push me around, since we will only be together for five more days. And that included today. Man, I thought, I sure am glad that he can't read my thoughts right now.
I looked at my face in the mirror. I looked normal. So, I needed to keep up this facade until he left. I wonder what Elizabeth wanted me to do after I broke up with him. I started getting ready. I noticed that I already laid my clothes out in here. After I was ready, I went outside to see Edward.
"I will be back later to pick you up, Bells." Edward said softly. Then I heard him mutter lowly, "And you are defintely going to this party. Me and Alice will make sure of that." and he jumped out the window.
Did I just hear what I think I did? Surely not! What else did Elizabeth make me besides invincible? Did she improve my hearing? I don't know. That would have to be something else that I asked her in five days' time. I heard a loud snore down the hall. Charlie. I had to go make breakfast. I was broken out of my reverie.
I quickly hurried down the stairs. I reached the bottom step quickly. I hadn't tripped once. That's odd, I thought. I hadn't tripped once since I've seen Elizabeth. I made it to the kitchen fairly quick. I got out all of the ingredients and started making breakfast.
Soon, breakfast was ready. I think that I can hear Charlie getting up. That's odd, I thought, I shouldn't be able to hear him. Me and Elizabeth were defintely going to have a long talk. Me and Charlie sat down and ate. It was a silent affair, as usual. He never asked many questions, and for that, I was thankful.
He left for work soon after that. I went to my room to grab my backpack. Soon, Edward would be here to pick me up. And then we would go to school. This would be our last good time together for a while. I had better make it last. Starting tomorrow, I would be cold to him. And on Wednesday we would break up. It was that simple. I wish, I muttered under my breath.
I knew that Edward had pulled up in his Volvo. Any time now, he would be knocking on the front door, to take me to school. I hope this party isn't going to be as bad as I think it is. Today should be about me and Edward. There would be no thinking about Elizabeth until the party starts, I hope. I muttered as an after thought.
I heard Edward knock on the door. I opened it, and he said: "You hope and wish what, my dear Bella." And he reached down and touched my cheek. I needed to think quickly.
"I wish that today is not going to be a bad day. And I hope that I don't have to go to some birthday party." I said, trying to sound convincing.
*****How do you think Bella's day is going to go? Will Edward see through her lies? Vote. Comment. Become a fan. Pretty please with a cherry on top.*****
