Lauren's POV

We walk into the beautiful backyard of the Johnson. There is a table with chairs around it. On the side is a counter and a barbecue. I you look into the graden there's a little path that leads to a creek. There are beautiful lights on the fence.

We all shake hands and Heather pulls me in for a hug

We all shake hands and Heather pulls me in for a hug. She is Always so happy. 

''Guys and girl just make your self out home and enjoy the food and each others company.'' Heather says. Marcus and Ethan take a beer and go stand by the barbecue. I quess they're making the food tonight.

I sit down with Heather and we just talk about random stuff and about the nice weather. Jeffrey, Collin and Caleb are playing soccer.

''Lauren come and join us. I need a extra player or your brothers will win.'' Caleb says to me.

''We won't want that to happen.'' I laugh and stand up to go to Caleb. He gives me a high five and we start the game. I Always did this with my brothers but they didn't play fair. I have to ball and start running towards the goal from Collin and Jeffrey. I kick the ball and I miss. The ball hits the wall and comes back right in my face. I wasn't prepard for that and I lost my balance and falling to the ground. Collin's face is the first that hangs above my head. I begin to laugh because it was just really silly and something that probably only happens to me. Collin looks concerned because of my laughing.

''Can you help me up?'' I ask Collin.

''No. no, no don't pick her up.'' Ethan yells running towards us with Marcus behind him.

''I'm fine guys just help me up please.'' I respond.

''No hon, just lay down for a bit.'' Ethan says.

''Honey do you need anything?'' I hear Heather ask Ethan.

''Yes can you get me a wet towle.'' Ethan says.

''Serious guys. The ball hit my face that's it.'' I say.

''Yes well you already have a concussion and your nose is bleeding so I want you to just lay down until I know it's safe to get you up, okay?'' I just nod with a sigh. Heather brings a wet towel and Ethan lays it on my head.

After five minutes Ethan finaly decides to get me on my feet. Slowly they help me up and I stand on my feet again. 

''Do you feel dizzy? Can you stand on your own?'' Ethan asks me.

''I feel fine and yes I can stand on my own.'' I say. 

''Are you sure you're alright?'' Caleb asks me.

''Yes I'm fine, thank you.'' I smile at him. 

Marcus guides me back to a chair and sits me down. Heather comes and sits on the left of me.
