CHARLOTTE WOKE UP WITH A HEAD ache and congestion.

Jeff got her sick.

Days or so prior, Jeff was sick when he came over. No matter how hard they cleaned, it already spread.

•••• FLASHBACK

Jeff was sneazing and coughing constantly and sounded horrible.

"Jeffery," Charlotte said as she grabbed bleach wipes, "are you sick?"

"I think."

She swung up, "No, no, no, you've been here to damn long."

Jeff looked at her, confused, "Oh yeah, I forgot you hate getting sick or sick people!"

"Ya! And you've been here for hours!"

He shrugged, walking to the front door, "Don't get sick!"

Charlotte huffed as she turned around to Chris and Eddie, "You're helping me clean."

•••• "END OF FLASHBACK

She was now mad, cold, and couldn't breathe.

One example is why she doesn't like sickness.

"Eddie!" She called, wrapping a blanket around her body.

"Huh?" He called.

Shit, he's sick, too.

"Jeff got me fucking sick!" She complained as she entered the living room, only to see Chris to.

"Me to," Eddie hummed.

"And me," Chris smiled.

"I'm gonna kill him," Charlotte huffed, picking up the phone.

After a couple rings, someone answers.

"Hello?"

"Oh you sound better," she hissed at Jeff.

"Oh hey char! You sound like shit!" He laughed.

"Yea, cus of you!"

"Sorry!" He faked.

"Remeber the deal from when you get me sick?" She asked.

When they were kids, she hated being sick as much as she does now. So Charlotte made a deal with Jeff and all her friends if one of them of her they had to buy her anything she needed during the time of her being sick.

It was one way for everyone to not go near her if they were sick.

She's had allergies maybe once every so often, but never sick.

Now she's sick again.

"Shit!" He whispered, "what do you what?"
....

Jeff gave Charlotte everything she wanted, but hurried out before he could get a lecture.

"Free things!" Eddie cheered.

"It's the deal I have with everyone," she smiles, "if they get me sick, they have to buy me what I need."

"Does that apply to us?" Chris asked.

"Yes," she nodded, grabbing the orange juice she requested.

"I got 2 gallons of orange juice, medicine, and food!"

"I got your guy's food to," she added.

She unwrapped a bag, seeing ice cream in it, "fuck yea!"

She was happy for the things, she immediately poured orange juice into a glass and layed on the couch.

She felt so much better.

"Wait chris," she sat up, looking at Chris walk into the living room.

"You never said why you were here?"

"Susan doesn't like being sick either, so she made me come over here," he huffed.

"I will be doing that to you if you ever get sick," Charlotte turned to Eddie.

He gasped, "rude!"

"No, I value my breath!"

"Go pick out a movie!" He huffed, pointing to the dvr.

"Don't tell me what to do eddie!" Charlotte laid back, "you do it!"

Chris laughed, "Can I just do it?"

"Yes!" They said in synced.

Chris picked a random movie they had, Charlotte just laid on the couch, Eddie laying on her, which was werid but there's only certain spots to lay down at.

Chris had the other couch to himself, he got lucky.

Halfway into the movie, they all fell asleep, leaving the house quiet and nice.

For the time being.
....
6:10 pm

Charlotte woke up randomly. She was still all stuffy from before.

Unfortunately.

She carefully got up and out of Eddie's grip, walking into the kitchen.

She just stood in the kitchen, debating to order or just make something.

She stood there for like 10 minutes.

She finally decided to order out, just some soup place and have Jeff get it.

She quickly ordered 4 bowls of soup, then immediately went to call Jeff.

"Hello."

"Hey jeff, one more thing!"

He groaned, "What now?"

"You know the soup place up the street from Eddie's house?"

"Yea, why?"

"Can you pick up my order from there?" Charlotte asked as she wrapped the cord around her finger, "I got you one too."

"Awesome! I'll go get it now!"

The phone went dead, and just as it did, a pair of hands went around Charlotte's waist.

"You know this house is yours too?" Eddie says in a hasly voice.

"It is? I don't pay for it," she smiles.

"But it's yours to," he turns her around.

"Fine, it's our house," she huffed, her arms going around his neck.

"A bit early, don't you think?" Eddie asks, swaying with her.

"Absolutely."

"Jeez! Get a room," Chris walks in, slouching.

"This is literally my house," Eddie stares at Chris, "you could leave."

"Susan will get mad then," Chris commented. "i can't make up for her being mad while im sick."

Chris smiled at the comment, Charlotte soon realized what he meant.

"Oh gross!" She huffed, "I'm gonna go shower."
....

By the time the food got there, everyone was tired... again.

They watched 2 movies and talked constantly, they were bored, sick and tired.

"I'm going to bed," Charlotte called, walking from the living room.

"Okay, night!" Eddie called.

Chris waited till her door was shut, immediately snapping his head to Eddie.

"Are you dating Charlotte?"

"No?" Eddie shook his head.

"Then what's with the kissing shit!"

Eddie shrugged, "I don't know, man."

"Well," Chris tugged at his blanket, "figure it out, she might be confused."

He turned off the lamp, closing his eyes and leaving Eddie confused.

Was Charlotte confused?
