Chapter 6:
Eleanora:

I woke up the next morning with a pounding headache and felt rather sick, strangely my first thought was about Leah and how she was feeling. Odd. I never normally think about the other person once I have had an injury that involves them aswell. Maybe it's cause we are on the same team. I'll say thats what it is.

Viv came and checked on me before her and Beth left for training this morning,

"El, how are you feeling" she said, with genuine concern

"Shit" I said bluntly with a mumble as I shoved my head back into the pillow

"Good attitude" Viv said

"Wat dan ook" "Whatever" I said rolling my eyes

Now was not a good time for Viv to go all big sister on me

She placed a cup of water and paracetamol on the bed side table for me to take

"Thank you" I said gratefully

"No worries see you later, we will be back around 2 ish, call mama and papa, let them know how you are!"

"Okay" I said before swallowing two paracetamols, realising Viv must have called them and told them what happened

I was chilling in my bed just doing some colouring in a book that I found on Beth's book shelf which wasn't really a bookshelf as it had like 10 books on it, trying to keep myself entertained and the medics said to both Leah and I to rest as much as possible and stay of devices and give our brains a break so that was I was doing, until around 15 minutes later their was a knock at their apartment door I wandered over slowly feeling sick and dizzy and open the door slowly to see Lia and Leah standing there. Shit what are they doing here. I look like a state, I am literally in my pyjamas and I haven't even brushed my hair or teeth

"Hello" I said to them both slightly confused

"Hiya, Lia said, sorry to just rock up we thought Beth and Viv might still be here"

"No worries" I said even though I was slightly annoyed that I had no warning they were turning up.Plus I couldn't be rude I had only met them both once briefly yesterday.

"Sorry but Leah was insisting she came here whilst I am at training, to keep yourselves both entertained and supervised so I came to drop her off as she isn't allowed to drive" Lia said in a slight rush as she needed to head of to training to not be late

"Okay, I guess I could use some company, have fun at training" I said smiling at Leah and opened the door further open to let her in.

"Thank you see you later, hope you start to feel okay soon" Lia said and left and I shut the door.

"Well." I said, I didn't really know what to say to be honest, I looked awful probably smelt awful to, and here Leah is all out together and now we are standing in the small entrance to Beth and Viv's apartment

"How are you feeling?" I asked

"Not bad I have a slight headache but other than that I feel fine, compared to previous concussions I have had I feel fine" she said "how are you?" She then asked we were still standing in the entrance of the apartment it all felt very forced and awkward

"Yeah not the best, I feel sick and have a headache but the dizzyness is disappearing" I felt worse than I think I was portraying but I didn't want her to feel bad again

"I'm so-" she began

"No Leah, no more sorry" I said

"Okay well, we should probably sit down" she said, thank god as it was getting awkward just standing here
