Chapter 1 - I'm There For You

I woke up to the phone ringing. I groaned as I rolled over to grab it off the receiver before it woke up the whole house. I put the phone to my ear as I layed back down sighing.

"Better be a damn good reason you're calling this late at night" I huffed.

"Eliza? Is that you?" I could recognize that voice anywhere.

"Oh Bovver what's up?"

"Nothing good Liz" I could hear the pain and sorrow in his voice.

"What's going on Bovver? What's the matter?"

"It's Pete" I sat straight up.

"What about Pete?" I demanded.

"It's not looking good Liz, I think you need to get here, the sooner the better"

"Get where Bovver?"

"We're at the hospital Liz, I will explain everything when you get here"

"I'll get the next flight out and meet you at the hospital" I said quickly then hung up. I jumped out of bed and got dressed. I called the airport and bought a ticket for the 5:15 to london.

I had 2 hours to get packed before I had to leave. I grabbed the essentials first then just grabbed anything from my dresser and closet. All the time I was trying to keep myself from busting into tears. I tried not to not imagine the worst thing possible but that was an epic fail. I felt the tears building up and fall down my cheeks as I threw my clothes into the suitcase. I went to shut it but it wouldn't snap closed.

I slammed it down numerous times trying to get it to close before I just threw it and collapsed to the floor. Light sobs were escaping my chest as I tried to breath. I knew something was going to happen when I heard West Ham was matched with Birmingham, the first time in over 10 years. If anything happened to Pete I would kill the person myself, even if it ended up being Tommy. I was brought back to reality when there was a knock at my door. I dried my tears as I stood up. When I opened the door I was greeted by my brother Bennie and he must have seen the worry on my face.

"What's the matter sis?" He questioned walking past me "And where are you going?" He pointed to the suitcase.

"Uh well Bovver just called and said Pete needs me..."

"So you were just going to run away again?" He sat down on my bed.

"Not run away. I plan on coming back" I defended.

"Really Eliza? That's what you said last time" you could hear the annoyance in his voice.

"Bennie, Pete's in the hospital and from what Bovver said it sounds like he doesn't have much time left. I need to go see him and if you can't understand that I'm sorry but I really have to go" I said grabbing my suitcase and repacking.

"Are you talking about the guys you hung out with in London?" I just nodded. "What happened?"

"I won't know until I get there, Bovver didn't say much" I tried closing the suitcase again but I was still so upset I couldn't get it to latch. Bennie stood up.

"I got this, you go get ready" he said taking the suitcase from me.

"Thank you" I stated. I went into my walk-in closet and decided on a tight black top, ripped skinny jeans and my white fur boots. After I got dressed I brushed my hair and grabbed 2 duffles along with a few pairs of shoes and some more clothes and brought them into my room.

Bennie must have gone back to bed because my room was empty. I threw my shoes into one duffel and the clothes into the other. I packed up my lap top, grabbed my purse, keys, and bags making my way out to my car. I threw my stuff into the back seat and got into the driver seat. Before I could shut the door I heard the back door slam and Bennie yelling for me. When I looked back he was running into the garage with bags filling his hands. He opened the back door throwing his stuff into the seat then entered the front seat.

"Bennie what are you doing?" I asked confused.

"I called the airline and got a ticket for the next flight" I looked at him confused "It seemed like you might need someone so I'm going with you" he buckled up and I smiled "What? Don't make a big deal out of it" he smirked.

"Did you tell mom?" He simply nodded.

"I'm supposed to call her when we land" he stated.

I started the car and headed to the airport.

We got there just in time and boarded the plane. Fortunately Bennie's seat was next to mine in first class.

Halfway through the flight I looked over and Bennie was watching the stupid movie they had playing.

"Bennie?"

"Yeah?" He looked to me. I looked straight into his eyes and gave a weak smile. "What?"

"Nothing just thanks for coming with me, if something happens to Pete I uh I'm..."

"I kind of figured that and don't tell mom this but I kind of wanted to see where you took off to and maybe understand why you stayed gone for so long" he said taking his hat off. "Believe it or not Liz I missed you...a lot"

"Really?" I didn't believe it. We only got along 1/4 of the time.

"I mean yeah, you're my older sister, my only sister, you taught me about girls and how to fight, we might not get along much of the time but I do love you" he have a huge smile. I couldn't help but grab him into a hug.

"I love you too Bennie" was all I could say.

We broke apart.

"So is Bovver the one who hates Americans?" He questioned.

"Yanks as he puts it, so he might give you a hard time but he'll let off eventually, he did to me"

"And Pete?"

"The love of my life"

"You never told me why you left him"

"You got sick" I stated. "I came home til you got better"

"I been in the clear for 6 months. Why not go back?"

"I been asking myself that same question since Bover called me" I said then went back to looking out the window.

Bennie left it at that and put his hat back on over his dark dirty blonde hair. We arrived in London a few hours later and found a hotel to stay at. We dropped off our things and caught a taxi to the Hospital Pete was at.
