Avoiding Fate

Four Years Later....

*4 years Later*

It's been four years since Elizabeth sent that letter to Leah , she has totally forgotten about it. Elizabeth is now twenty two, she plays for Tottenham Hotspurs Women, so she's currently playing in the WSL recently she has gotten back into her music after being focused on football after she left school last year. Elizabeth lives in North London with her two best friends who also play football with Tottenham Hotspurs Women Kait and Chloe , Kait is from Scotland so she plays for the Scottish national team, Chloe plays for the Republic of Ireland Women's team as she is from the south-west of Ireland, it is very rare that they aren't together, that is until they go off to their camps for their countries, Elizabeth is playing with England women's U23. Elizabeth has been dating Emilia Spence for two years they met in an England camp for the u23 world cup, Emilia plays for Arsenal, she is a key role in the arsenal defense so she is very close with Elizabeth's teenage hood hero, they have a very rocky relationship since they started dating as Emilia was in Manchester. In Elizabeth's eyes Emilia was her soulmate; there was no one else that caught her eye.

Elizabeth's POV

It was the North London Derby, Chloe, Kait, and I were in our kitchen we had a game later that day against Arsenal it was a home game, so we didn't have to leave till 2 hours before the game, we were sitting around our kitchen table chatting and gossiping about all the people we were talking to at that time, that's when my phone started ringing I saw it was an unknown number so I got up and went to the sitting room to take the phone call

EB: *puts on her formal voice* Elizabeth Bennett speaking

? :Hello, Elizabeth this is Sarina Weigman I was ringing you to inform you that you have been chosen for the England Senior Women's squad for the upcoming World cup in Australia and New Zealand , I have been keeping my eye on you since the u23 world cup back in 2020, thank you for your time

EB: * shocked* omg thank you for choosing me and giving me this opportunity

SW: I'll see you at camp oh Elizabeth you cannot tell anyone that you have been selected until the squad is announced next week

EB: thank you for this opportunity i'll see you next week

After Elizabeth hung up the phone, she composed herself to walk back into her best friends who'll be wondering who was ringing her

E: *walks into the kitchen and repositions herself in the seat she had been sitting in before the phone call that changed her life*

C: Who was that?

K: Yeah, who was it you were gone for awhile

E: oh, just it was my auntie Jill she was wishing me luck for tonight and she just kept witering on the phone

K: omg I totally understand that my mother could talk for Scotland the amount of time she keeps me on the phone

C: really, I don't have anyone like that in my life

K: Yeah, that's because Chloe you are that person in your life, you could honestly talk for Ireland

Chloe respectively slapped Kait on her arm whilst Elizabeth laughed at what Kait had just said

*a few hours later*

The score was 2-2 it was the 85th minute when Chloe passed the ball to Elizabeth, she is sprinting towards the box when she feels pressure in the back of her leg and is brought down in the box when Elizabeth hears the refs whistle she looks up and sees arsenal no 6 the jersey she always had as a child the jersey of the player whom she had looked up to all of her life had just tackled her to give Spurs a penalty which when Elizabeth got up to take it no 6 had been arguing with the ref the entire time saying "i didn't push her she tripped " she was doing her usual hands up in the air, she stomped away after getting a yellow card, whilst no 6 was arguing with the referee Elizabeth realized who it was that had just tackled and conceded a penalty and all of memories she had of writing the letter at 11pm two hours into a five hour bus ride, Elizabeth was a bit shocked that this was coming back to her now and not after the match or after this penalty.

Elizabeth stepped up to take the penalty. It was just her and the Arsenal goalkeeper, she had to score to get Spurs the win in this game. As she was waiting for the ref to blow the whistle
