You can't Outrun the Truth

The Brits

4:12 p.m. November 13

"Hello! I'm home, I know I was missed by you all! I have the phone calls and messages to prove it!" I say as I walk into the flat I share with Jill, Beth, and Daan. 

"Doesn't look like anyone's home," Sara says as she turns on a light.

"Those bastards heard I had a head injury and didn't tell me where they were! How could they hurt me this way!"

"Where are the cups? I need water."

"Top left cabinet. Now I have to call them again. Also, guess what! Alex scored and we won!" I ramble as I get Sara and me some water.

"I know Elsje, I was in the car when you first found out. I told you, do we need to go back to the hospital?"

"No, I'm just reminding you."  I got my phone out to text Beth since she decided to not tell me where she was. Rude right!

London

Hey Beth, where are you lot? Cause I'm here with my cousin who has a flight back soon, and no one is here 

Unless you're all dead and I haven't found your bodies

But I doubt that also my cousin trusts you more than me and she's never met you

I'm offended but congrats to you.

                                                                                                                                                        Beth

                                                                                                Leah, Jord, and I are headed over

"Sara, the Brits are coming now."

"Great, have any of the Americans called you yet?" Sara asks.

"Nope. I told them to not call until they were back at the hotel."

4:20 p.m.

I heard the front door unlock and several footsteps. I was lying on the couch while Sara was sitting in one of the chairs in our living room.

"London?" Leah's voice pierced the silence.

"Leah," I answered. Beth walked over and I smiled and waved.

"This is my cousin Sara. Sara this is Beth," I say not moving.

"Nice to meet you, Sara," Beth says.

"Nice you meet you as well Beth. I've heard great things about you."

Jordan and Leah came in and I finally sat up. Jordan sat down next to me and Leah sat in another one of the chairs.

"I need to get going, I just didn't want to leave London here alone," Sara stood up. I walked with her to the door and hugged her.

"Don't hesitate to call."

"I won't," I assured her. She left and I walked back to the group I have named the Brits.

"So let me explain some things, then I will take questions," I said. I did sit down because I am concussed and had brain surgery two or three days ago, so my head hurts.

"I got called up and I didn't know how to tell you guys so I saved myself the trouble and didn't. Sorry about that, then I went to Portugal, won a game, went to Scotland, got a concussion. Now you're probably wondering, 'London, how did you get a concussion?' Well, it's quite the story."

"A couple of the girls roped me into pranking Kelley O'Hara and we did, it was successful, then we were cleaning up some spilled water bottles someone knocked over and I fell and cracked my head open. So I had brain surgery, I think, and now my head hurts. Any questions?" 

I looked around at the Brit's faces and they were mixed with shock and worry. 

"Also they won in Scotland," I add.

"Have you told anyone else about your injury?" Leah asks.

"Someone told Joe, I'm not sure who, and other than that nope. No one."

"How's your head now?" Jordan asks.

"Oh you know, it hurts quite a bit actually. Pounding, and the room is spinning slightly."

"You should get some rest London, we'll talk later okay?" Beth asks. I nod and she helps me to my room. I lay down in my bed and close my eyes.

Okay, this one is very short and I'm sorry but this seemed like a good place to stop it. I have already started the next part I just wanted to get this chapter out since it was just sitting in my drafts!
