Avoiding Fate

England Camp...

At England Camp

This was Elizabeth's first senior Lionesses camp, so she was getting ready for a hectic few weeks as they had a week of prep in England then they flew to Sydney for another week of prep then they had the world cup,

The line-up had been announced a few days before the camp started the line-up included most of the European champions squad excluding Jill Scott Ellen White (due to them retiring) and the top striker Beth Mead (due to an Injury), so there had been a two call ups in the squad including Elizabeth and Emilia, the pair had not spoken since Emilia was pictured kissing another girl in a club a few weeks ago, Emilia hadn't even tried to reach out to Elizabeth,

Walking into St George's Park for the first time was nerve wracking for Elizabeth as she couldn't tell you the amount of she had watched the girls walking into the lobby of St George's Park on the lionesses Instagram, being one of those players is mind blowing for this twenty two year old from Croydon was playing at the highest level of English football.

Elizabeth's POV

It was so overwhelming for me to coming training with all of these legends the likes of Jordan Nobbs, Lucy Bronze ,Kiera Walsh and of course in my eyes the biggest legend of all Leah Williamson, I also felt very alone as I knew no one because I was the only from Tottenham to be in the England squad, well I lie I do know someone but I didn't want to see her even though I was told on the way that media would be coming in at least one day before we left for Australia so we'd probably have to an interview together I hated that idea but I'd have to deal with it if it came to it

After you walked in past the cameras and stuff you walk into a room where everyone else who has just arrived is, it kinds goes by clubs so the girls from Manchester come together and so on, I realized the girls from Arsenal had not arrived yet so I was bit relieved that I didn't have to face Emilia first thing, it was about an hour afterwards they arrived it was Leah, Lotte and then there she was, the one I didn't want to see Emilia, I was just sitting in the corner waiting for it to die down as our captain had just arrived so everyone was hyped up, I made eye contact with Emilia a few times because it was like she was looking for me I didn't want to see her I had spent days in bed because of her if I didn't need to come here I would still be in bed, on the car journey here I decided to myself I wouldn't let her ruin my first senior England experience, but here she was getting into my head and she was only here for 5 minutes, how would I survive the best part of two months with her, right now I wasn't sure but I made a promise to myself id be civil with her, I wasn't going to win otherwise,

Skip to the day before the second game against Denmark

The past three weeks have been hell I miss all of my friends, I've tried to make friends on the team but that was hard because everyone had already been in friend groups i tried to talk to people but I just felt like no one wanted me there well that was what my head was telling me , I was roomed with Emilia which I couldn't believe when I found out we mainly stayed to ourselves, I'd never be able to sleep so I used to go for a walk and sit in the lobby of the hotel until 6 am when Emilia would be still asleep, most nights whilst I was sitting in the lobby I'd be writing down lyrics in the one of many journals I had bought in the airport before we flew to Sydney, but for some reason this night was different......

(Author's note
