I groaned from under my covers. Frustrated, I yanked the sheets from over my head and glared straight forward at the wall in front of me. I was so fed up with being sick! I heard the door creak open before it fully swung open. Alice's head poked in and she grinned widely at me, the poor, sick girl. "Hey, Annie! Just wanted to check up on you!" She giggled. "Don't worry, though! Care package on the way!" With that, she winked and rushed away.

A minute later, Edward popped in. "Annie! Are you okay?" His hair and clothes were messy as if he was speeding through the forest. Which he probably was.

"Edward? What are you doing back so soon? I thought you were hunting with Jasper," I croaked out. I had to hold back a terrible cough so as not to worry him but I swear no matter how many times he denied it, he could still read my mind.

Edward stepped closer until he gently sat on the side of my bed. He placed a cold hand on my forehead. "I heard you were sick. So-"

I couldn't hold back the cough this time. I started hacking up mucus and spit. I tried reaching to my bedside table to get a tissue but my coughing made me shake a little so I couldn't exactly see. My lungs hurt now but whatever. I was used to this sort of pain. When I was done coughing my spleen out, practically, I will admit it was amusing seeing Edward's face morph from a gentle concern to on the border of panicking.

In a flurry of movement, I was sitting up straighter with the covers to my chin. My head was elevated nicely on a fluffy pillow and a tissue was shoved in my face. I was given a glass of water and practically forced to drink some. When I placed the glass down, I looked to see Edward pacing around the room with his phone to his ear.

"I'm telling you, Carlisle, it shouldn't sound this bad!" He pulled at his bronze hair with his free hand. "No, Carlisle, it-. Yes, I know but-. You have to promise! Yeah, okay, I'll wait for you to get home. Just remember if she dies, it's all on you." He snarled at the end and exhaled deeply.

"Eddie?" His head snapped to me and he was at my side in a second.

"What are you okay? Do you need something? Should I call Carlisle again?" His eyes scanned my body before going back to my face.

Before I could say anything, Alice was back in my room. She skipped in and gave Edward a friendly kiss on the cheek. "Calm yourself, Edward. It's just a common cold. Humans get those every now and then." She winked at me before settling herself in the chair in the corner of the room. Unfortunately, that didn't make him calm down. If anything, he seemed to freak out more.

"But her lungs! It's-she's-" Aaaaand back to pacing

I grinned at how concerned for my health he was. But he needed to stop worrying over nothing. Pushing my blankets aside, I shakily stood on my feet. Closing my eyes, I held both my arms out like a zombie. "Rrrrrr. Edward. I have caught the virus. The virus of the LOVE BUG!" I squealed and lunged forward, arms locking around Edward's middle.

Laughing, I tried tackling him to the floor but it was as good as pushing a boulder uphill. Alice tinkering laughter filled the air and I grinned in triumph when I felt Edward's chest moving as he chuckled.

A few moments after we all laughed, Edward gently carried me to my bed despite my protests. "Alright, alright. You need to rest now."

Edward leaned down and kissed my cheek and I giggled. "Now you have the love bug, Eddie! You have my cooties!"

I laughed again when his brow furrowed in confusion at 'cooties'.

Poor, hundred something year old vampire.
