UNITED AS ONE

CHAPTER 17: DEAR SISTER

That morning, all USA players arrived in London as both teams are facing England.

"Finally, we're back in London" said Pulisic as they entered the arrival hall.

"We? It's only you" replied Steffen.

"That's true. I play for the club that defeated yours 4-1 to start the season" said Aaron.

"That's low blow, Morgan" replied Pulisic. Aaron just chuckled.

"By the way, did you both park your car here?" asked Sargent.

"Only Christian though. I came here with Aaron using train" replied Steffen.

"Great. Then, we can drive around later on" said Miazga.

"What are you smiling at, dude?" asked Cannon as Aaron checked on his phone.

"Nothing" replied Aaron.

"Yeah, right. You already set a date with Millie, right" said McKennie.

"Oh, shut up" replied Aaron. The rest just chuckled.

Later on;

Alex and Kelley are just arrived inside their room.

"So, Lex. Want to walk around later on?" asked Kelley.

"Sorry, Kel. But I need to go and meet someone" replied Alex.

"Really? Who is that person?" asked Kelley.

"Well, I'll tell you later" replied Alex.

"Sure thing. But it's sound important" said Kelley.

"Yeah. You can say that" replied Alex.

"I see. By the way, when will you and Aaron talk again?" asked Kelley.

"I don't think he ever want it, Kel. He didn't needs me anymore. You can see it by yourself" replied Alex.

"Yes but he's your brother. I'm sure that you still love each other" said Kelley.

"I do love him and I always will. But he doesn't love me anymore. So, all I can do is let him lives his life without me" replied Alex.

"Now you admit that you love him" said Kelley.

"I always did, Kel. He's my only brother" replied Alex.

"I see. He's so lucky to have you as his sister" said Kelley. Alex smirked.

"I'm lucky to have him in my life too. But, now. I need to let him go and explore the world on his own" replied Alex.

On the next morning;

All players are training at the training ground set by The FA for them.

"I think we need to be faster in the match against England" said Sargent as he and Aaron work on their shooting with other strikers.

"Yeah. It's Premier League defenders we're talking about. The centre-back always play rough" replied Aaron.

"So, we have no chance at all?" asked Arriola.

"Well, if we don't just because of that, Aaron here won't be a leading top scorer in the league right now" said Sargent.

"That's true. But of course it won't be easy. England is the founder of this sport after all" said Aaron then.

"You look up too much on them, Paul. I was here too" said Altidore.

"Then, you should know well how it is here. 1 season in Hull and another 2 seasons in Sunderland, you only scored 2 goals. And things getting tougher nowadays" replied Aaron.
