Elizabeth walked out to the changing room and was shocked to see Alessia standing there
AR: hi....... Can we have a chat
EB: uhm sure
AR: How are you doing? How's the foot?
EB: i'm good the foots good well it's getting there only a few more weeks till i see if i can get the boot off
AR: oh that's great *looks guilty*
EB: Alessia why are you here, it's still break and you don't have pre-season until a month's time?
AR: we decided to go to the gym to keep you guys company and plus I really wanted to talk to you in person we haven't talked much since it happened
EB: since you slept with my ex who also cheated on me before you,
AR: * looks down * yeah..
EB: you know what makes this whole situation worse I would have forgiven you for cheating on me despite that being the stupidest decision I'd ever made because I actually still love you but when you cheated on me with Emilia of all people
AR: I just wanted to apologise to you for that because I've had time to think about it and I've realised that you were one of the few people who I really cared about and I hurt you which I never meant to do
EB: alessia your telling me you didn't mean to hurt me but yet you of all people knew how much Emilia had broken me now you have broken me even more than she did
AR: I'm really sorry liz
EB: no alessia you do not get to call me that anymore it's Elizabeth
AR: * starts crying * Elizabeth please forgive me I need you back in my life I miss us and our banter
* tries to grab on to her *
EB: alessia I am half the person I used to be I'm not the same Elizabeth that you saw on the plane that morning and I'm not sure she'll ever be back
AR: what do you mean
EB: nothing feels good anymore not here * points to the dressing room * Arsenal use to feel like home and right now nowhere is home anymore I have no one in my corner anymore and I really don't want to be here anymore * rushes out the door with her stuff *
Alessia heard the last part and realised what she meant so she ran out of the dressing room to follow her
AR: Elizabeth wait please don't do anything stupid I need you
EB: * turns around * alessia you don't need me, you made that decision for yourself and I have to understand that so do you now please just let me leave I need to be somewhere else away from here
AR: fine leave like you always do
EB: alessia what you mean like i always do
AR you can't stay somewhere when things get tough you always leave
EB: I don't leave when things get tough I leave when I know I'm not wanted somewhere and I can't sit around and act happy when I'm not and believe me I have tried my best especially when i'm around you Emilia and the rest of them it's hard and I'm Tired i am so unbelievably tired I need a break
AR: hey we still want you here
EB: Who's we? You and my ex you cheated on me with?
AR: not just us Leah, wally , Beth , and Viv we all love you and need you here
EB: yeah you know what I can't do this right now I thought I could but I can't I'm sorry if I hurt you but I can't be around you anymore and I honestly don't know when I can be around you but I don't want you to ruin your season and as I'm not playing I'm going to see if I can arrange my training around when you guys aren't here
AR: Elizabeth please don't leave arsenal because of me
EB: * leaves *
Elizabeth just wanted to be anywhere that wasn't surrounded by all of these people who in her head don't give a crap about her anymore so she ordered an uber to the nearest karaoke bar and hired a room for the whole rest of the day and sat in there sang her heart out and cried
Alessia turned around to be greeted by the group of girls laughing saying they're going to go play mini golf.
