"So does Mason knows you're coming?" Sophia questioned her best friend as they both say down and Eloise gave her a look "What? He'd think you're here for him"

"We haven't spoken in forever minus the new year's" she stated as the players entered the field. They did their ritual before warming up as the girls were catching up

"Damn, I still have to be here next month for Dec. This is why I hate to attend his games, they're stressful as fuck" Eloise stated putting on her glasses to see more clearly "Just right now, I'm sweating"

"Yeah, I second that" Sophia sighed as they both stood up clapping knowing the games was about to start and honouring Gianluca Vialli

When the game started, the women sat down as they watched then play. Eloise knew how much this game was importantto João because it was his Chelsea debut. Somehow she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty, even if she didn't show it

The game went back and forth, there were few attempts from both sides but about 20 or 25 minutes. The other team scored making both women share a knowing look "This is bad" Eloise whispered with a serious tone

"We can still score" Sophia told her hopefully with a nod

Chelsea tried to score multiple times but it was a fail. The first half was up making both team stop and go back to the bench and then changing room. João wondered if Eloise made it to his debut game because he tried to look around but he couldn't see her

However from the bench, Mason glanced up accidentally to see a familiar figure making him take a second look to see if Eloise was really there. He felt like his heart dropped to his stomach after spotting her talking to Sophia

"Did you know that Eloise was coming?" Mason asked Kai who shook his head in denial and looked up just when Valentina joined them and they both hugged her

"What is Declan's little sister is doing here? Did you invite her?" Chilly asked curiously and Mason shook his head with a frown

"I mean, not that I'm not happy but... I don't know" Mason honestly sighed

"So where's João?" Valentina asked excitedly and Eloise shrugged

"The changing rooms" Eloise replied "Anyways, did you buy the Eras tour ticket?"

"Obviously!" Valentina sipped from her glass of wine "I would never miss it for the world"

"Stella will be there" Sophia stated awkwardly

"I know right? I seriously cannot wait to see them" Eloise said excitedly

"So is it a good time to mention that Lewis and I broke up?" Valentina said making both girls look at her in disbelief "It was long overdue and you know it"

"Are you alright?" Eloise asked her and Sophia held her hand squeezing it gently

"I feel... free" Valentina admitted with a small smile "Yeah, it's awful-"

"It's not" Eloise cut her off with a stern look "Take it from someone who was cheated on, it's better that way"

"She's right" Sophia agreed with a nod "You're amazing, and like you said it was long overdue"

There was a loud cheering making them look back to see that Chelsea scored making them jump up cheering loudly too. Sophia wrapped her arms around Eloise in disbelief just when João looked up to see them making his eyes widen in surprise

Not even ten minutes later, João had the ball but bumped onto Tete making them both fall on the grass as the later seemed to be hurt. Eloise gasped when the referee raised a red card sending the new Chelsea player out on his debut game
