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. 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.
