She has been dating Leah Williamson out of the public eye for almost 6 years now. Only f...
Over the next few days I'm seeing a counsellor once a day for 2 hours. She's not really helping me that much. Sarah: what I suggest, to help you, is to talk through what happened with Leah. You both need that. She wants to help, but you need to be honest with her okay? Maddie: okay. Thanks Sarah.
I go home after the session, Leah is making lunch and Bruno is out in the garden. Leah: hey how was it today? Maddie: erm she told me to tell you the whole story of what happened. Leah: sh-she did? Do you feel comfortable with that? Maddie: I think so. Leah: okay, let's eat first okay? I just nod and sit down on my phone.
After we have eaten Leah and I are laid in bed, I'm cuddled into her telling her what happened.
Maddie: and then you came into the bathroom. I heard you, I tried to scream but he held his hand over my mouth so I couldn't do anything. I wanted to scream so badly. Leah: h-he it was happening to you when I came looking for you? I just nod. Leah: ba-babe if I'd have known I would have kicked the living shit out of him. Maddie: I know baby, I know. I tell her the rest of the story, Leah has tears in her eyes at this point. Leah: babe. Maddie: I shouldn't have told you. Leah: no baby you did right by telling me. I just wish I could have stopped it. Maddie: no one could have stopped him. Not even the great Leah Williamson. Leah: I could have tried. Maddie: baby please don't do that to yourself. Leah: have you told your dad? I shake my head. Leah: babe I think you should. Maddie: no, I don't want him to know, I don't want anyone to know. Leah: baby. Maddie: no. Leah: okay, okay. Just talk to me though okay? I'm here for you, always. Maddie: I know you are my love. Now enough soppy shit, can we take Bruno for a walk? Leah: of course.
Leah and I take Bruno for a walk, we start training again tomorrow, I can't wait to put the last two weeks behind me and start working again. Leah's instagram post:

I look at that comment. I freeze up. How do they know? Leah runs down the stairs. Leah: baby. I look at her. Leah: there's an article. I burst into tears. How do people know? I thought I could just forget about it all, without everyone knowing. Leah hugs me instantly. Maddie: I hate it all.
I start getting calls and texts from my family. My mum and dad most of all.
