Little miss McFoord

PART 4

21 hours and a 4 hour stop over later, we landed in Australia. I hadn't been back here in years. As we waited for our bags, Kyra slouched down against one of the pillars in the baggage hall. I looked at her, she looked tired and she had an awful headache. I gave her my bag and I waited for our suitcases.

'someone's tired' Caitlin came up to me, putting her hands on my back.

'Yeah. It wasn't a great flight for her.' I said

' oh why?' Caitlin asked

'She felt unwell which is unusual for her and then she just couldn't fall asleep.' I replied 'I'm slightly worried about her.'

'Yeah same' Caitlin said sounding quite worried 'did she take travel sickness pills and paracetamol?'

'Yeah she did when we got to Singapore. It was only half way through the first flight when it started. It cant be travel sickness because she still felt awful during the layover. We literally tried everything to help it.' I started feeling really worried so much so that i began to cry.

'Hey hon' Caitlin said hugging me. 'You've done nothing wrong'

'I just feel like a bad girlfriend cause i cant help her.' I replied calming myself down.

I looked over at kyra. She didn't look great. You could tell that she was not her normal self. Normally, she would be bouncing off the walls after this fight according to Steph. I had been informed of this (and warned) a few weeks before we'd come out. We'd followed Steph strict rule of when we could sleep, so it can't have been that.

I grabbed Kyra's bag off of the conveyer belt. Caitlin offered to grab my bag so I walked back over to Kyra, checking if she was ok before going to ask Steph what I should do.

'Steph.' I called to her

'Yeah el. Are you ok?' She replied taking her eye off of the conveyer belt and looking at me

'I am. Kyra looks in a bad way though. I'm slightly worried about her. She looks super tired as well.'

'Yeah that's unusual for her. Maybe it is jet lag just suddenly kicking in. Hope she's ok.'

'Yeah thanks Steph.' I said hugging the older Aussie before heading back to Kyra who had her head in her hands.

'Hey baby. Are you ok?' I asked

'No not really I seriously don't feel good. I can't tell why though. It can't be travel sickness because I've never felt it before and I don't get jet lagged until the morning. I think I'll be ok in the morning though.' She said

'Ok baby. We'll go to the docs tomorrow with Caitlin and get you checked if you still feel like this.'

'Thanks el' I sat down next to her and she cuddled into my side. I saw Caitlin mouth 'is she ok?' At me. I mouthed back a 'I don't think so. We'll see.'

When everyone had got their bags we headed towards the cars, ready for the hours drive to the hotel. We had two mini vans taking us. One had me, Caitlin, Kyra and Sam. The other one had macca, alanna, Mary and Remy.

Caitlin and Sam sat opposite me and Kyra. I took the left window seat whilst Kyra took the middle seat, resting her body on me and letting her legs rest on Caitlin across the mini van. You could see the slight worry in Caitlin's eye as Kyra fell asleep.

'I think we need to take her to the team docs tomorrow el.' Caitlin said looking at me.

She could probably sense the panic attack about to happen as she said that me and sam needed to swap. Kyra woke up and grabbed me also sensing the attack coming.

'Hey your safe' she whispered into my ear

'K-y i-i lo-love you.' I managed to just get out.

'Name 5 things you can see' she said knowing what to do.

'Y-your ri-rings, Caitl-in, sa-m, the floor and that building.' By the last two words she had managed to calm me down.

I went and sat next to Caitlin, letting Kyra get some rest.

'She loves you so so much el.' Caitlin whispered into my hair.

'I love you' I whispered back.

40 minutes later, the bus pulled up to the hotel. Tony Gustavsson greeted us. He was really nice and said that I could try training with the girls tomorrow. We saw one of the doctors and me and Caitlin pulled her aside telling her what had happened to Kyra. She made a note and thanked us.

'Goodnight ky baby. Hope you feel better honey.' I said kissing her and heading to my room.

'Night love you.' She said opening her door

'Love u too.' I said closing my door.

I flopped onto our bed, feeling exhausted. I heard Caitlin begin to call Katie so i rushed over to her bed.

'Hey mum' I said when her face appeared on the screen.

'Hey baby!! How was the flight'

'It was ok I guess' I replied not wanting to bring up Kyra.

'Did ky tell you anything before we left honey?' Caitlin asked

'No why.' Katie questioned

'She was not doing good and still isn't since our layover in Singapore.

Caitlin continued to talk to Katie whilst i texted Kyra and less.

The next morning, I woke up to Caitlin's alarm going off. She leant over and switched it off, then coming over to my bed to say good morning.

'Hey mum' I said groggily

'Hey honey. Has Kyra texted you?'

'I don't know. I'll check.' I replied picking up my phone. I looked at my messages, to see Kyra's name at the top of the list.

'Oh great' I said putting my phone down.

'What hon?' Caitlin asked me

'She is a lot better now. Just feels slightly ill. Charli helped her tho so she's ok.'

'Ok that's good.' Caitlin said wrapping her arms around me 'I'm proud of you el.'

'Thanks mum. Why though?' I said turning to look at her.

'You helped Ky so much hon. You felt with that attack yesterday so well. I love you.' Caitlin said, sounding genuinely proud.

'Me too mum.' I replied hugging her again.

I heard a loud knock at the door.

'Oh crap.' Caitlin muttered 'you better go let your girlfriend in before she breaks down our door.'

'Yeah that's probably a good idea.' I said jogging over to the door. I opened it and Kyra jumped into my arms. She kissed me before running over to annoy Caitlin.

'Kyra liliee cooney cross get off me right now.' Caitlin said laughing but also sternly.

'Okkkk Caitlin. I guess I cant be rude to my future mother in law.' She said jumping off the bed and smirking at me.

I walked over and pulled her onto the bed. I pulled her into a tight hug and kissed her.

'Ewwwwww.' Caitlin said.

'Excuse me Caitlin foord, you and miss Katie are no worse.' I said making Kyra laugh.

Caitlin rolled her eyes at me. Me and Kyra just kept laughing.

'Any way guys, you two love birds better separate so Kyra can go to unpack and get ready for breakfast. I doubt she has unpacked tbh.' Caitlin said

'I will let you know that i unpacked this morning and I'm ready for breakfast actually.' Kyra said looking impressed with herself.

'Wow having a girlfriend has changed you Kyra' Caitlin said

' not really. Well i guess kind of but anyway I'm just the same old Kyra. A pest. Your annoying daughter i suppose as well.' Kyra said coming and hugging me.

'And hot' i whispered into her ear. She smiled at me and blushed, before quickly hiding her face in my neck.
