When Elizabeth leaves she runs out into the lobby where she looks at her phone and sees its 3am, she thought to herself "I just want to go home" but she didn't know what do but she realized it was only 4pm at home so she decided sit in a place where no one else knew where it was scrolling through her phone and see what was happening at home after about an hour of sitting scrolling through Instagram and TikTok, when she saw it was four am she decided to go on a walk along the beach,
After about ten minutes of walking she found a quiet place on the beach so she decided to record a cover of "The Winner Takes it all by ABBA", which she really resonated with her, so she's uses the ukulele she grabbed when she ran out of the room and sat there singing her heart out pretending Emilia was standing right there in front of her
She sat there thinking about life she posted a few stories of the sunrise reflecting on the beautiful blue sea on her close friends which only had Kait, Chloe and few other people she's friends with back home, a few of them replied to her story, with the usual "looks amazing" or "wish I was there" in her head she was thinking if they knew what had just happened would they want to be her, this sent her head into overdrive which inevitably caused her to unknowingly fall asleep on the beach, she only realized that she actually was asleep because she was woken up by two strangers thinking she was dead when she woke up she checked her phone to see it was 8:30am which she had a few missed calls from Leah, which she had also sent her 5 texts which were
Leah (6:30am): Hey just wondering are you awake because It says you're active on Instagram I was just going to go for sunrise walk like yesterday morning I was wondering if you wanted to come
Leah (7:00am): I'm guessing you're asleep, well you missed a fantastic sunrise,
Leah (8:00am): I just ran into Emilia she said you ran out of you guys' room at 3am after an argument and she hasn't seen you since
Leah (8:10am): Elizabeth I have checked everywhere you could be WHERE ARE YOU, I'm getting really worried, please pick up your phone
Leah (8:30am): People are asking you where you are please answer or I'm going to have to tell Sarina that we don't know where you are
Whilst Elizabeth was holding her phone she received another call from Leah, she picked up straight away
LW: ELIZABETH WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU I WAS WORRIED SICK
EB: Sorry I went for a walk to clear my head and must've fallen asleep I'm walking back now I'll be back in about 5 minutes
LW: I'll be waiting on the beach for you
When Leah could start to see Elizabeth she started running towards her, Leah couldn't understand why she got the urge to run to Elizabeth but she did and they ran to each other and just hugged because Leah was so relieved that Elizabeth was there and wasn't killed by some stranger
LW: You really scared me there Bennett
EB: Sorry I had a fight with Emilia and I just needed to get out here for a while I meant to only stay for the sunrise but I accidently fell asleep I was woken up by these two strangers who thought I was dead but nope, Williamson I'm sorry I worried you
When they walked back up to the hangout area, Whilst Leah was talking to Kiera about something Elizabeth decided to go upstairs and get dressed for the day on the way back down she was met by the team who was on their way out because they had a day out, so they decided to go local city for something to do, The group split up as most of the team wanted to go in search of a coffee shop to get their daily fix of caffeine, but there was a small group that did not drink coffee, this smaller group consisted of Elizabeth, Leah, Alessia Jordan and Ellie,
The five decided to go around the city to find the shops, and tourist attractions after about two hours of wandering, they found a music shop, this was Elizabeth's idea of heaven, she was like a child in a sweet shop,
Elizabeth was persuaded to buy a guitar, but she couldn't buy it before she gave it a play, in the shop they were in was a venue at night meaning there were stage and a mic setup, the owner allowed Elizabeth to perform as she recognized the team from their game yesterday, Leah was very excited to hear that she about to play because she knew the others were in total shock to what they were about to witnessed
After she stood up on the stage, Elizabeth put the strap of her new guitar around her and walked up to the mic
EB: Am this is scary, I learned this song when i was 17 it was actually on of the first ones i learned and I think this guitar deserve an absolute belter as its first song *Starts to play the intro to "Blame it on Me by George Ezra"
EB: The garden was blessed by the Gods of me and you
We headed West to find ourselves some truth, oh
What you're waiting for?
What you're waiting for?
We counted all our reasons, excuses that we made
We found ourselves some treasure, and threw it all away
What you're waiting for? (x4)
When I dance alone, and the Sun's bleeding down
Blame it on me
When I lose control and the veil's overused
Blame it on me
What you're waiting for?
What you're waiting for?
What you're waiting for?
As she was singing "What you're waiting for" looking down at who she was singing to as she noticed nearly all of the team had joined them but something or should I say someone caught her eye in the crowd that only consisted of her teammates, they made eye contact for a second as the person smiled at Elizabeth who smiled back but she quickly shook it off though as she just wanted to concentrate on the song she was in the middle of, she just upped the volume at what she was playing and got really into it
EB: When I dance alone, and the Sun's bleeding down
Blame it on me
When I lose control and the veil's overused
Blame it on me
What you're waiting for? (x4)
After she sang the last note, the entire team erupted with cheers and applause, this was when Leah jumped up on the stage
LW: Bennett where did that come from, Oh wait I knew you had that in you, also as your captain that was your initiation song into the lionesses, guys who's next? *she laughed*
