Chapter 7

Bella's POV

Isn't it amazing that something can change so quickly you barely understand? I mean first I had the Swine Flu, now it is some sort of virus that has infected me and Edward. It wasn't fair how everything bad had to happen to us. I just wanted to be better. I was so sick and tired of this.

I laid there on the hospital bed and stared at the ceiling. A tear ran slowly down my cheek. That was probably the 100,000,000,000th tear I have cried in the past 2 days. I looked over at Edward who was sitting by the window staring out of it, probably thinking about the same things as me.

"Edward." I whispered.

He looked back at me and saw my tear-filled eyes and stood up immediately causing him to almost fall but catching himself on a near wall.

"Be careful." I whispered.

He nodded and gave it a second try. This time he slowly made it over to me. He laid down next to me.

I turned my head over to him and looked into his dark black eyes. I frowned.

"Bella?" He whispered.

"Yeah."

"I love you." He said not whispering.

I smiled. "I love you too."

He leaned in and his face was nearly an inch from mine. He sighed and his sweet breath caressed my face. He leaned in more closing the space between us with a kiss. I couldn't remember that I was sick. I couldn't remember anything. All I knew was that he was kissing me. He pulled back too soon. My pulse was in my ears and I was breathing annoyingly loudly. I felt the heat rise in my cheeks.

I snuggled into Edward's chest and we lay like that for a while. The silence wasn't awkward, it was calming really.

The sound of a door opening closed our silence.

"Edward, Bella, I think I know what's wrong with you." Said Carlisle's voice, from the other side of the room.

I sat up and looked at him.

"What is it then?" Edward said.

"Well, Edward, you gave it to Bella."

"How!" He almost yelled.

"What I am thinking is you drank blood from an infected animal and passed it onto Bella by kissing her, but that is only a theory."

A pretty good theory at that.

I looked over to Edward. His expression was unreadable.

"Can you fix her." He whispered.

"Yes. Although I am not sure what will help her will help you as well."

"I don't care," he said, "just fix her."

"No," I interrupted, "Fix Edward."

"I am not sure if I can, Bella." Carlisle said.

I didn't know what to do. I was fixable but Edward wasn't. He was all I cared about. There had to be something that could help him. There had to be, but I could only rely on that hope for so long until there was no hope.

I had been so caught up in my thoughts I didn't hear Carlisle and Edward talking.

"Okay we will start the treatment now." Carlisle said.

Edward nodded and Carlisle walked out of the room.

"This isn't fair." I mumbled.

"It does not matter. You are going to get better. That is all that matters. Nothing else in this worlds matters except for you." He said.

"And you."

"No not me. I do not matter."

"Yes you do, Edward." I was on the verge of tears. Why could he care about me but I wasn't aloud to care about him? Why?

"No. I do not matter what so ever." He said sternly.

"Yes you do!" I yelled. "Why are you aloud to say that I matter but I'm not aloud to say that you matter!?" I was crying now.

"Because I don't matter!" he yelled back his eyes full of furry. He yelled. At me.

That was the first time he has ever yelled at me. New tears rolled down my cheek. I half expected him to realize he hurt my feelings and say something but he just sat there. A sob ripped through my chest. It wasn't fair! Nothing was! What if he dies! I can't live without him. I can't live without his touch, without his smile, without his voice, without him. Another sob ripped through my chest. Why wasn't he comforting me?

I looked up at him and he looked down at me. Then he realized what he had done.

"Bella, did I hurt your feelings?" he whispered in shame.

"No." I lied.

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me on top of him. I hid my face in his neck as I continued to cry.

"Shh, Bella. It's okay. I am truly sorry. I just- there is no excuse. I'm sorry. I love you so much. I know you love and care about me as well. I was not thinking." He comforted me and rubbed my back gently. "We will find a way to cure both of us." He murmured mostly to himself.

"I hope so." I said sniffing.
