Hey people. I thought as I had some time today, I'd update. Today I started school – total disaster. I haven't got one single good day, because all my favourite subjects are surrounded by rubbish subjects, plus the fact that teachers spontaneously sprout homework whenever they feel the need to do so. But, luckily I'm well ahead with chapter writing.

Bella. Halloween. Enough said.

--

Bella was in a vast place, it was dark, lit only by fireflies and she could only feel the soft, autumn breeze. Stephen was with her.

"I love you Bella," Stephen told her. Bella blushed and hugged Stephen.

"I love you too," Bella said boldly then she laughed. She blinked. In a blink of an eye her dark place was replaced by a bright place.

"I love you too, Bella," a voice said in the bright light. Bella cowered against it.

"Who are you?" Bella asked she couldn't see who was there.

"You know who I am, remember me," the voice said.

"Remember me."

Bella woke up from her vivid dream.

--

"So even Bella gets sick?" Carlisle wondered aloud in the living room, "That's so cute."

"I know. She's been in bed for a week now?" Emmett said. Jasper looked up from the newspaper he was browsing and nodded. Edward sat beside the window and looked out into the lawn.

"A week," Edward murmured, "I hope she gets better."

"Did I hear Edward say he wants Bella to recover?" Carlisle said in alarm. Jasper suddenly checked if Edward had a fever as well.

"Cute." Edward remarked, "No, if Bella doesn't recover the whole place stays like this!" Edward pointed around the room. There was trash everywhere; clothes were on the sofas, food on the carpets. The grand living room that used to look like a palace's lounge now looked worse than a pig sty.

As if by command, Bella opened the doors.

"You're well again?" Edward exclaimed happily.

"It doesn't look like it," Carlisle inspected. He felt Bella's head and recoiled.

"You've got to stay in bed, Bella, that's how the fever will die down," Carlisle told her.

"I have a question," Bella asked them, holding onto Carlisle for support.

"What is it?" Carlisle questioned her.

"Is it still October?"

"What?"

"Is it still October?"

"No, Bella, its November."

November. It was past October. How could Bella forget? How could Bella ever forget Halloween? How could Bella ever fall ill and neglect Halloween? Bella walked back to her room. When she eventually got there she crumpled in front of Stephen.

"How could I forget?" Bella sobbed, "How could I forget Halloween Stephen?"

Stephen didn't reply. He merely stared blankly.

"Stephen! Don't look at me like that!"

Bella lay on the floor crying.

Edward stretched his arms whilst walking into the living room. To his surprise when he walked into the living room he saw the largest pile of laundry imaginable.

"Wow. It's so messy in here, it's impressive," Edward spoke to himself.

"Edward? Is that you?" Carlisle's voice called out of nowhere.

"Carlisle?" Edward looked for Carlisle based on where he heard his voice came from. Carlisle's head popped out of the laundry pile.

"Ugh...I can't find any clean socks," Jasper said, his head popping out of the large laundry pile as well.

"Carlisle mixed up the clean laundry with the dirty laundry," Emmett told Edward. Edward glared at the pile in deep hate.

"That's not all he mixed up," Jasper said holding up a pink shirt. Carlisle blushed. Edward was frustrated.

"Are there any noodles in there?" Edward asked in desperation. It was regular that after he had stretched his limbs after a waking up he would eat.

"This is the laundry pile!" Jasper told Edward irritably. Edward sat down limply in a dinner chair.

"This is ridiculous," Edward said softly, his stomach rumbled. Everyone in the room now knew that Edward's hunger level was past desperate. Edward stormed upstairs to Bella's room. Her fever should be gone by now, Edward thought to himself, repeating the same thing through his mind over and over again.

Edward walked moodily to Bella's room.

"Bella?" Edward said into the door, placing his hand on the doorknob. From the outside he could hear crying. Bella was crying. He opened the door and he saw Bella, kneeling in front of Stephen, crying. Bella noticed the sudden outburst of light and saw Edward. She ran to the door and slammed the door shut. Edward stood stunned outside the door. Emmett, Carlisle and Jasper had followed him upstairs.

"What so special about October?" Edward asked. Emmett shrugged. Jasper hit his head, thinking immediately of something. He ran downstairs. Within minutes he was back upstairs. He was carrying a doll and some party poppers.

"I think we forgot her birthday," Jasper explained.

"The doll?" Carlisle asked.

"Some girl gave it to me, she was like Bella," Jasper told them. They were impressed. Carlisle held a party popper in his hand and opened the door.

"Happy Birthday, Bella!" they chanted at the same time.

"Sorry for forgetting," Carlisle said pulling the string on his party popper. The confetti flew into the air and fell onto the floor.

Bella just stared at them.

A silence followed.

"Here's your present!" Jasper said excitedly breaking the silence. Jasper put the doll on the floor. Bella stared at them. They thought it was her birthday? How could they not know? How could they? Fresh tears poured out of her eyes. Emmett pushed to the front and started to act like a conductor.

"Happy birthday to you," Emmett started,

"Happy birthday to you," the rest joined in harmony, "happy birthday dear Bella, happy birthday to you."

Bella still stared at them. She was completely overwhelmed at their singing. It wasn't bad on their part. They all pulled a string on a party popper and more confetti flew into the air. Bella didn't reply. Bella didn't utter a single sound. She simply stared and watched the confetti drop. More tears poured down her face and the boys backed out.

"Jasper, you were wrong!" Carlisle exclaimed.

"W-well what's special in October?" Emmett spluttered. He was, as usual, completely out of ideas.

"Sports day?" Jasper suggested.

"No." Edward answered him. Carlisle and Emmett agreed. Jasper winced, he didn't like being wrong.

Bella held a pumpkin close to her.

"I bought preparations as well! I was all ready for it and I m-m-missed it!" Bella said her words dissolving into more sobs.
