May 1st 1918
A year and a couple of months went by with many events happening. We were never one day apart at all during the entire year. My family and I went to France and I invited Aileana. Her aunt said yes after a long time of asking her. It was very fun seeing all these famous sites in France with the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. Aileana and I walked together, taking tours and going to museums. She knew some French so it was easy to get around the place. We were only there for couple of days before we had to leave. Then after that trip, everyday we would say 'do you remember…' and it was a lot easier to have conversations. On Bastille Day, at night were fireworks so she and I decided to kiss for the entire time during the fireworks. On Halloween, she didn't go trick or treating so she and I handed candy to the kids together. She felt bad since trick or treating was my tradition but she was more important to me. A week before thanksgiving, her aunt died of pneumonia so I told her that she could stay with us until we were old enough to leave on our own. My parents agreed and gave her our attic since there were no other rooms available, other than the creepy basement. We put some of our stuff down there. At Christmas, we visited her aunt's grave to give her flowers and said our prayers. We also exchanged gifts and kissed under mistletoe when we returned. We went ice-skating everyday in January since we had nothing better to do. She kept almost falling but I always helped her up so she wouldn't fall on the hard ice. On Valentines Day, I got her flowers and chocolates that she told me to share with her. We strolled down the park with the snow and at night, we snuggled together to keep each other warm by the fire in our living room. In March, it was finally spring and able to see grass so Jack and I got our team to play baseball. I taught Aileana how to catch and throw so she could be on our team. She was good enough so she officially became a new player of our team. We won tons of games against other kids, but we didn't see Hunter surprisingly. In April, my father got a job in Chicago so that means moving. I had to say good-bye to Jack and our team. It was really sad but at least Aileana was going with me. She was saying good-bye to her friends too but they were crying. We moved to a small apartment in the city since we couldn't afford a house. Couple of days later, my father started coughing randomly. We didn't know what it was but it was scaring Aileana and I. 'It was nothing', he said but my mother wasn't convince. She told him to stay home and he agreed with a nod. A week later, my mother started coughing and sneezing constantly. Yesterday, Aileana started coughing. I realized that they were all sick and needed to go to the hospital as soon as possible. Then today, I started coughing. We went to the hospital, entering in there coughing. The nurses looked panicked at our coughing, knowing what was our sickness. A nurse came walking to us, 'come with me, we'll get you rooms'. We had to be in a different room so wouldn't get any worse than right now. A nurse put my father in a room first and then my mother. They put Aileana across from their room with me next to Aileana's room. I was lying on a bed, coughing constantly and in pain. My lungs felt tightened that it was hard to breathe. A doctor came into my room two hours later name Dr. Cullen telling me that I had Spanish Influenza along with my family. He told me that my parents were going to die since they were weaker than I was so I was aloud to come and see them before that happens. I was able to cough a little less but I still had to go in my room to cough. I visited Aileana that was crying, kept saying 'I'm going to die, I'm going to die'. I tried to reassure her that we wouldn't die, at least not yet when we are still young. A doctor told me to leave her room so I obeyed. I went into my room, knowing that I was very close to dying.

Bella's POV
I felt so sorry for Edward, knowing that he would die. I didn't really want to finish this since I knew what happened. What about Aileana? I decided to flip to the next page.
That's probably one of the best chapters I've written so far. I know it's really sad; I really wanted to cry! Please review!
