EPOV
It was a surprisingly hot day in the normally rainy town of Forks. The sun was out and pouring sun light through my bedroom window. I was at the moment laying in my bed just waking up. School was over, our graduation has passed and now we were off to college in a few weeks. What to do in the few weeks? I had no idea. Probably packing my things and saying good bye to my family and few friends. My family were still the same. Proud of me and Izzy for finishing school. Mum got a new job at the local decorating business. My Dad is still works at the hospital and my brother Emmett went travelling the world with his girlfriend Rosalie, or Rose as she liked to be called.
Rose was a nice girl, she had long blonde flowing hair, icy blue eyes that could easily scare you, pale skin with pink rosy cheeks and a large white smile. She had a job in Seattle, working as a waitress in our favourite restaurant, La Bella Italia.
The only problem about today was, I was feeling sick.
Yes that is right, I have got the flu. I can hardly talk because my throat is half blocked, my nose is bunged up and my belly aches.
Only my Mum and Dad knew about this, they were telling Izzy if she rung today. A knock on the door made me come back into reality.
"Edward? Honey, how are you feeling?" my Mum asked me. She came into the room and sat on the end of my bed with a bowl of chicken soup on a tray.
I groaned at her and frowned.
"I feel like I've been hit by a truck" my voice was week and scratchy. It hurt to talk long sentences.
"Aw honey, I'm sorry your not feeling to well. Try and eat something" I shook my head and pouted.
"I don't wanna" I said like a little kid. She knew what I was doing and laughed.
"Edward, you're a little too old for me to feed you your soup" she was laughing lightly still and swept my hair out of my eyes.
"I'm only 18, not too old, please"
"Can't you try yourself?" she asked I shook my head no.
"Why not?" she continued.
"Because I'm sick"
She rolled her eyes at me and told me to sit up.
For about half an hour, she sat at the end of my bed feeding me chicken soup. It was nice so I knew it was made by her.
"Get some rest now Edward, Izzy called earlier and we told her that you were ill so she is going to come by later and check up on you"
I nodded and settled down in bed. Before my mum left the room I asked her,
"Mum? Can you pass me my I-pod please?" she smiled at me, walked over to my drawer and passed it to me.
"Thank you and Mum?" she sighed and turned around looking at me.
"Yes?"
"I love you" she kissed my forehead and replied.
"I love you too honey, now rest" she walked outside and downstairs.
I laughed but was cut short when my throat started to hurt.
I pulled my blanket up and under my chin. It was wrapped around me tightly.
Closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I didn't know how long I was asleep for because I was being shaken awake by someone. I looked up and saw my Dad.
"Dad? What's wrong?" OW! My throat hurt like a bitch. I winced and looked back up at Carlisle.
"Edward your Mum told me to come and check on you, it's time to take some medicine" I frowned and pouted like I done with Mum.
"I don't like medicine" I wined to him. The traitor chuckled, he knew I didn't.
"I know but it will make you better. Izzy is downstairs so if you take your medicine, she will be able to see you and she will get less chance of being sick as well"
Fair point. I'll do it for her, and because I knew I would not get out of this.
I opened my mouth and he scooped some disgusting orange liquid into it. Eeewww!
I swallowed and hopped out of bed.
"Can I go now?" I asked him.
"Yeah, just try not to spread your germs to Izzy" I rolled my eyes.
Slipping my slippers on and taking out my nose, tongue and lip piercing, I walked out of the door, well more like shuffled and made my way downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs no one was there so I made my way into the kitchen where Mum was.
"Hey mum, where's Izzy?" she jumped and turned around to face me.
"In the living room, are you feeling better?" she looked concerned so I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah a little bit thanks Mum" she looked at my pyjamas and frowned.
"You could of gotten dressed" she scolded me. I looked down and saw that I was only wearing my boxers.
"No I couldn't, and you should know I always sleep in my boxers. But don't worry I do change them when I get dressed" I laughed and she soon joined me.
"Okay, now go I'm sure Izzy is waiting for you" I said bye to her and started walking out of the kitchen. The living room was on the other side of the house so it was taking some time. On my way there I was stopped by my Dad walking out of his study.
"Edward you might want to put this on" he gave me my black hoodie which I slipped on, even though it was HUGE! It kept me warm.
"Thanks Dad"
I kept walking until I was in the living room. Izzy was sat on the couch watching a re run of Scrubs. She didn't notice me so I walked silently behind her and wrapped my arms around her and bent down to place my head in the crook of her neck. She squealed and jumped in surprise. Once she saw it was me she calmed down and hugged me, she pulled me down onto the couch next to her. She took one look at my face and sighed, lifting a hand up to my cheek she said to me,
"No offence but you look like shit" I laughed and laid down over her lap. My legs were stretched on the arm of the seat, my stomach was resting on her lap and my head was on the cushion on the other side of her body.
She put one hand on the back of my head and one on my back, rubbing gently. I closed my eyes and we stayed silent for a while just watching the television. After about an hour Esme and Carlisle came in to join us. They looked at me and laughed.
"Edward! I'm sure Izzy does not want you laying all over her" Carlisle told us.
"Oh well, I'm comfy"
"Edward! You are practically treating her like the sofa! Get up!" Esme poked my ribs and I screamed like a girl and fell of the couch and onto the floor.
"Mum! That hurt!" I whined. She rolled her eyes and sat next to Izzy.
Carlisle sat on the other side of Izzy. I suddenly had a plan to lay across all of them. So that is what I did.
I jumped up and sat on Izzy, laying down and placing my head in my Mums lap and legs in my Dads. They all groaned.
I laughed at them and made myself comfy.
"Edward! You are such a giant baby!" Izzy said, groaning from my weight at the same time.
"I know but you love me for it" I smirked at her and winked. This is how we stayed for a bit until Dad decided to break the silence.
"Edward, Emmett is coming back today" I shot my head up and looked at him excitedly.
"Really?"
"Yep"
"When?" he frowned and looked at Esme.
"In about an hour actually" she told us "Izzy you will be able to meet him properly now" she seemed happy that I would be meeting her family at the same time.
"That would be nice" she looked down at me and asked, "Are you going to move or just lay there?" I shrugged, they all shared a look and nodded.
"One.." they started to count.
"What?"
"Two" I was confused.
"What are y…" I was cut off.
"THREE!" they pushed me off of there laps and pinned me to the ground as they got up of the couch.
"OW!" shit that hurt.
"Come on Izzy we are going up stairs!" I shouted out to her. She pulled me up and wrapped her arms around my waist. I placed my arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to me.
We walked up the stairs and into my room. I locked the door behind me and sat in my bed again. Izzy came and sat next to me.
"How are you feeling?" she asked me while running her fingers through my hair and softly scratching my scalp.
"Sick" I mumbled into my pillow. And turned onto my belly. She laughed at me and kissed the back of my neck.
"Do you want anything to eat?"
"No, I wanna play a game, stay with me" I rubbed my face on the pillow and tucked the duvet around me tighter.
I could hear her smile at me.
"Okay, what do you want to play?"
I reached over to my draw and felt around a bit until I found what I was looking for. I lifted it over to her and held it out.
"You want me to play on the wii with you?" she sounded shocked.
I nodded my head and tilted it to the side so I could see her.
She sighed and said,
"Fine" I smiled and sat up. Clicked a button on my remote and the wii background came up.
"What game do you want to play?" I asked her. She thought for a minute before answering.
"Let's play…" more thinking "….erm…" even more "… Mario kart!" she sounded excited so I laughed weekly at her.
We were deciding on what character we were going to play when she suggested to me,
"You should be the mushroom" I looked at her curiously.
"Why?"
"I dunno, it just reminds me of you I guess" I laughed and selected the blue mushroom.
"You should be Princess Peach" I suggested to her. This time she asked me.
"Why?"
"Because you" I tapped her nose "are my little princess".
She laughed and selected the princess.
For about an hour we were battling each other in car races. We were half way through a race when Mum came in the door.
She looked at us and laughed lightly.
"Having fun?" she asked.
We replied yes without taking our eyes away from the screen.
"Okay, just to let you know Emmett is just parking outside, he has presents and has brought Rose with him" I nodded.
"Who's Rose?" Izzy asked. I forgot to tell her about Rose! Shit.
Mum beat me to it though.
"She's Emmett's girlfriend, you will love her Izzy, she is so nice and sweet. You two will be best friends"
Izzy smiled at my mum and I took that time to beat her and I won the race. I jumped up and shouted.
"HA! I WON!" she just realised and screamed at me.
"YOU CHEATED!" she was glaring at me so I pulled her up and kissed her cheek.
"No I didn't, love you"
"Yes you did, love you too" she said back to me.
"Aww you guys are sweet together, let's go and see your brother Edward"
We walked downstairs and stood in the doorway waiting for him to come inside.
He saw me and gave me a questioning look.
"Still in your pyjamas Edward?" I blushed and nodded.
"Yeah" when I talked my voice was still rough so he got the message.
"OH! Your sick" he patted me on the back and moved on to Mum.
"Edward! I missed you" I heard Roses voice and hugged her. She has been my best friend for a while now. Next to Izzy of course.
"Hey Rose there is some one I want you to meet" she looked at Izzy then back to me with an eyebrow raised.
"Izzy this is Rose, Rose this is Izzy, my girlfriend" as soon as I said the word girlfriend Rose was jumping up and down squealing. She hugged Izzy and said to her.
"We are going to be great friends Izzy, it's amazing to meet you" looks like they will be spending a lot of time together.
"It's great to meet you to Rose, I hope we will be great friends"
"Did I hear the word girlfriend!" Emmett's voice boomed.
"Emmett, Edward has a girlfriend look" she pointed at Izzy.
"Aw finally, it's about time Edward!" he hit my shoulder and I winced. We all laughed at what he said.
He ran over to Izzy and lifted her of the floor and spun her around.
"Emmett…Can't…Breathe" she wheezed out.
"Oops sorry" he settled her back on the floor and put his arm around Rosalie.
By this time Esme was inside ordering pizza for all of us.
We went inside and started talking about their trip around the world. Apparently they went to Italy, England, France, Spain and Germany. All the places I wanted to go. They showed us the pictures they took. Most of them were of them but they had some of all the famous site seeing monuments and things. On picture was funny, Rose must have took it because it was of Emmett being chased by a goat up a mountain in only his boxers and trainers. That was the best photo ever. Definitely one to show the kids.
WOW! KIDS! What am I thinking about.
Oh well just act like nothing happened.
We spent the rest of the night talking and eating pizza until it was time for Izzy to go home. I walked her to the door and we talked for a minute.
"Bye" I told her
"Bye, get well soon and call whenever you want" I nodded at her and said back.
"I'll speak to you soon, I love you"
"Love you too"
We kissed briefly and hugged before she walked out of the door and drove home.
I walked back into the living room and said to everyone that I was going to bed.
I walked upstairs, took my hoodie and slippers off and crawling instantly feeling the comfort of my duvet.
I fell into a dreamless sleep.
