2 days later, it's the arsenal game against liverpool.

leah left early so she can meet with the rest of the team. she kissed me before leaving.

i got myself ready and then did some work on my laptop.

suddenly i got a video call. i smiled when i saw that it was my grandma.

"hola abuela" i said as i answered.

"hola mi amor. how are you" she said

"sí i'm good." i said. "how is everyone else"

"everyone is good. guess what" she said

"ooh i'm nervous" i laughed.

"we've booked you a ticket to come back to spain to visit us. we missed you so much" she said.
"surprise" all my cousins and aunties and uncles shouted through the phone.

oh.

"wow guys. you didn't need to do that" i said.

"we wanted to see you again. we get you next week for a whole month before you have to leave us again" she said excitedly.

"oh wow" i said.

a whole month

i'm going to be away from leah for a whole month.

this isn't good. we've only just gotten into a really good place.

i really do love my family, i wish they'd checked with me first. they can be a lot.

"can you get me miedemas shirt please please arsenal is my favourite club and i love all the players" my little cousin juan said.

"i'll see what i can do amigo" i said.

"thank you she's the goat" he said excitedly.

"i know" i said.

i spoke to my family for a while and then told them i have to go.

i wore some jean shorts and one of leah's training shirts as i don't have a match day shirt.
she won't mind.

i got into my car and drove to the ground. i went through to the private car park.

i got out and went into the stadium. i was directed to the changing rooms by security.

i walked inside and the girls were all getting dressed.

i remembered what juan asked and went to viv.

"vivi, can i ask a favour" i said.

"depends what it is" she joked.

"after the game can i have your shirt" i asked.

"would you not rather have leah's" she said quietly and wiggled her eyebrows at me

"it's not for me. my cousin wants your shirt. he said your the goat" i said.

"yeah sure" she laughed.

"thanks" i said.

"everyone gather round" i said. everyone huddled together.

"kick some ass today go get that result" i said.

"team on 3" leah said. everyone put their hand in and shouted team.

i went over to leah and sat on her seat.

everyone went outside to line up and sit on the bench.

"hey pretty" she said. she stood infront of me and wrapped her arms around me.
