Jacob is sick for a long time. Bella gave him a week before calling again. Billy really wanted no visitors. After a week Bella tried calling again, and to her surprise Billy answered. He said Jacob was feeling better, but he was out in Port Anglos with a couple friends. Bella seemed upset about this news that Jacob didn't call her. With Charlie gone fishing, Bella decides to continue her quest through the forest to find the meadow. Charlie had warned her not to go in the forest by her self. Recently hikers in the forest had gone missing, and there were sittings of large bears. Bella goes anyway and finds the meadow, but it only hurts and makes her nervous, and empty. She wants to leave as soon as possible, when she sees a figure on the other side of the meadow. Who would be in he middle of the forest waiting in the meadow? Could it be the one and only... Edward?

Now that Bella is back to being "herself" again, Mike is trying to plan things to do with Bella. Bella definitely doesn't want to be alone with Mike, and she thinks she is getting too close with Jacob. Bella plans a movie night on Friday night. She plans to invite everyone, Angela, Ben, Eric, Katie, Jessica, Mike, and Jacob. When Friday comes, Katie and Eric can't come and Angela and Ben are sick with the flu. So it's just Bella, Mike, and Jacob. Mike doesn't seem very happy about it. It seems like they are both fighting for Bella, when Bella doesn't really want either of them. In the middle of the movie Mike gets sick and they leave early. After they drop Mike off, Jacob says he was feeling a bit queasy himself. Later that night Bella called the Blacks but Billy answered telling Bella Jacob was not feeling well. When Bella offered to come over Billy told her not to very sternly. Bella found this very strange. Bella ended up with the flu too, and when she got over it, she called Jacob to let him know that she was over the flu already so his wouldn't last too long either. Jacob told Bella that what he had was very different. Bella remembered how hot his skin was all night too. Very different to what she was used to with Edward. Is there something else wrong with Jacob that Bella doesn't know about? What are the Blacks hiding?

Bella really wants to hear Edward's voice in her head again. The only way she can hear the hallucinations is by doing something stupid, exactly what Edward told her not to do. She finds two motorcycles on the front lawn of a house. They were old, rusty and unwanted. She took both of them, but they needed to be fixed. She knew who could fix them, Jacob. For the next week Bella goes over to Jacobs garage to fix the bikes up. She offered Jacob one of the bikes if he would fix them and give her lessons. He gladly took the offer. Bella and Jacob have become a lot closer because of the bikes and Bella feels a lot better now because she has someone she can laugh with and likes being around. She doesn't hurt when shes with Jacob. Will her and Jacob get closer, will she forget about Edward and move on?

This week New Moon, the book I'm reading, started getting pretty good. Edward was getting suspicious, and one day after school he met up with Bella and told her he was leaving. She was very shocked. He left and she hasn't heard anything from him in almost four months. She goes through some depression and doesn't do much with friends or out of school. Charlie doesn't like that. She tries to get involved with things to please Charlie, but something always happens that reminds her of Edward. Even going to see a zombie movie with Jessica didn't end well. It doesn't seems like Jessica will want to hang out with Bella much in the future after that night. She scared her when Bella approached strange looking men in front of a bar in a dark alley. Every time Bella stepped closer and closer to the men, she heard Edwards voice. She thought it was her unconscious mind talking to her, but could it have really been Edward talking, protecting her from those men and telling her to stay cautious?

I read an article in the paper this morning about a new kind of surgery. It's using a device that can operate on someone with out any incisions. It's a device that enters the body through a natural opening to preform the surgery. Next year they plan on using this device to remove gallbladders. This new invention could be an extraordinary advancement in medical technology. It could change many ways of medicine, and save many lives. It's great to think that even after all these advancements in technology, they are still improving all there technology.

I read an article in the paper today about the new twilight movie. They were comparing Twilight to the famous Harry Potter. A question they asked Stephanie Meyer about her book was "What is the appeal of her dark vampire tales?". She said that vampires are a type of monster type creature that doesn't look disgusting. That can disguise themselves as normal people. They aren't creepy. They said that the movie set was packed with twilight fans, even in the summer when they were shooting in California, in the middle of a desert! Patterson, the director thought it was strange how they even found the set! New Moon, the books sequel, is already in the making of a second movie. The Twilight movie comes out this Friday.

I recently picked up the book New Moon again and continued reading it, since I had stopped earlier in the year. I had forgotten how good it was. When I left off it was Bella's 18th birthday and the party the Cullens threw her had gone terribly wrong. After, Edward spends the night at Bella's house. He gives her a CD he made. She loves it. She was really fussy about people making a big deal for her birthday. What she really wants is to become a vampire like Edward, but he won't let that happen. Not yet at least. In this part of the book there seems to be something wrong with Edward. It doesn't say what, but he is acting differently. Bella is worried that he is thinking about the "right and wrong". I'm not exactly sure what that means either but it might have something to do with Bella wanting to be a vampire or the dangers of him and his family being vampires.
