We get to the Hospital but at this point I keep going in and out. I don’t know if it was from pain or from the head injury I got. The next thing I know I wake up to my mom sitting next to me and I’m in a hospital bed. She was asleep I didn’t want to disturb her. I look at the time, it is 10:00 pm already Jesus. I want to know what’s going on so I slightly nudge my mom awake. “Hi Bella, how are you feeling?” she asked.

“Like someone is stabbing me in my head and burning the skin off my arm.”

“I’ll be back I’m just going to get the doctor.”

How long was I out for? I look at my arm it is bandaged up, I use my other hand to go up to my head and feel stitches across the right side of my four head. No wonder nobody noticed it until after I got in the car that my head was bleeding. The way my hair falls you can’t see that part of my four head and I have black hair which covered the colour of the blood. I look around the room. It is slightly dark giving off a blue glow and one chair on each side of the bed. I close my eyes for a minute then I hear two voices. I opened my eyes to see my mom and a woman with brown hair wearing scrubs and a white coat. I’m assuming that she was the doctor. She basically said that the burn on my arm was a second degree burn and it is possible I have a concussion.

The next day I got released from the hospital but I do have a mild concussion and I have to change the bandages at least two times a day. I spent a few days at home and went back to school on Thursday, October 24th. It was my first week and I only went Monday and it’s Thursday great. I walk up to the doors with sunglasses over my eyes to block out the light. “Hey. How are you?” I turn to see and it’s Connor. “Hey. I feel like shit.”

“Why didn’t you stay home?”

“Because it’s my first week and I have already missed two days.”

“Yes but it wasn’t your fault.”

“But it kinda was I tripped with a pot of hot water in my hands.” I look over to him and start laughing. When you say it out loud you sound pretty stupid. I hear him laughing too.

We walk into school side by side. Someone walks into me pushing me to face the side of the hall. The fast movement made me dizzy and I almost fall on my face in the middle of the hall but Connor was next to me and he put his arm around my waist and brings me to the side of the hall and sat me on the floor. “Are you okay?” he asked.“Yeah I just need a minute.” I replied and we sat there in silence for a minute. “Are you sure you don’t want to go home?” Connor asked. “No, I’m okay. Help me up?” he takes my hands and pulled me up so we are face to face. I look down at my watch. “Oh shit we are going to be late.” Connor lets go of my hands and takes his phone out of his pocket. “Your right we should go.” he walked me to my class and then took off down the hall. I walk into class and handed the teacher a note from my doctor explaining stuff about my concussion. Then I went and sat at my seat. “Hey, how you feeling?” she asked. “Like crap.”

“I still don’t get how you managed to do that.”

“Yeah you and I both. I didn’t know someone could be so clumsy.”

Class started and I could feel eyes on me and I looked to Sof but she was sitting with her head in her hands trying not to fall asleep while the teacher talked. I look to my other side to lock eyes with Parker. I quickly turn my head to face the front, this is going to be a long class. The end of the day rolls around fast even though I don’t remember what I did in class.

It was Friday, October 25th, six days from Halloween and I wasn’t sure what I was going to be, but I had a couple of ideas. Connor asked me if I wanted to go out for coffee and I said yes but only if he would come with me to the Halloween store and help me pick out a costume. He was all for it. After school we took his car to the mall and I told him my ideas. “Okay so my ideas are Wednesday from the Addams family, a pirate or a vampire.” I said.

“Well you have the colour and length of hair to be Wednesday, but you are also pail enough to be a vampire and pirates are just cool. I don’t know what do you want to be?” He replied. We stopped for a minute. Then it hit me I knew what I was going to be. “I know what I’m going to be.” I said. We went to the Halloween store and then Connor got coffee and I got a hot chocolate. He brought me home it was only 6:30 pm so my mom wasn’t home yet and really didn’t want to be alone. He walked me up to my door and before we said goodbye I said “Hey, do you wanna come in?” he looked at me and said nothing. “It’s just that I don’t want to be alone right now and my mom won’t be home until 8:00.”

“Sure, why not.” he replied. We just sat and talked and watched a movie.

At 7:50 he said that he should get home and I agreed even though it was Friday. I walked him to my door then he asked me, "Do you want to go to this Halloween party with me on the 31st? It's probably going to be lame but it will be less lame if you are there.” I looked at him and nodded. “What time?” I asked.

“I can pick you up at 8:30.” I looked into his eyes and kissed him. I just kissed him without any warning. To be honest I didn’t even know I was going to do it. I pulled away and he looked at my in shock. “I’m sorry, that was so stup…” I stopped talking in surprise when he put his hand on my cheek. I could feel myself turning red. He put his other hand around my waist and pulled me closer and kissed me again. Then pulled away and said “Goodnight Bella.” He opened my front door and walked out. I shut my door and sat on my floor in shock.
