Season 1: Leah Williamson

Part 88

Y/n: No, everything's fine, I just--- don't want her to come to ours...

Leah: Okay, if you say so, she won't come...

Y/n: Thank you.

You keep eating your meal, and head back to the changing room to fix your hair and to get ready before the media. Suddenly, someone walks in. You see through the mirror that it's Laia. She's standing in the doorway, staring at you. It's only you and her.

Laia: No need to fix your hair, you're beautiful as you are.

Y/n: Stop Laia, please... Don't do that...

Laia: I'm just speaking my truth...

Y/n: Then, I don't need to hear...

Laia: Why are you pushing me away? You felt it... like I felt it... the night we danced together in that pub...

Y/n: We were drunk...

Laia: So what? Since when it's a f*cking excuse?

Y/n: I don't feel anything for you, except friendship... put that in your mind... We have media, we have to go.

You're about to walk out of the changing room, you pass next to Laia ignoring her. But she grabs your hands and pulls you closer to her. She doesn't say anything, she closes her eyes, trying to revive the connection you had the other night.

Laia: I know we shouldn't be a thing, but it's stronger than me...

Y/n: I'm in love with Leah...

You pull your hand away from Laia's and walk out of the room. Laia follows you in silence. After a minute or two, you get to a big room dedicated for media that day. It is made of questions and little games to know the players and the teams a little better. No choice, you have to do it with Laia. You smile through the whole thing to pretend that everything is fine. In a corner of the room, you look at Leah laughing and smiling with Alessia. Suddenly, you see them looking at you.

Alessia: Y/n, do you have a minute?

Laia is in a middle of an individual interview so you go join Leah and Alessia under Laia's gaze. You walk to them and sit between Leah and Alessia. Leah puts her arm around your shoulder to pull you in her arms.

Y/n: What's up, guys?

Leah: I told them...

Y/n: Told them what?

Alex: We actually learned about your hippie time...

Y/n: Gosh, you didn't...

Alessia: Yeah, she did...

Y/n: The most embarrassing moment of my life...

Alex: Where were that coming from?

Y/n: My grandparents... We dressed up like that to celebrate Halloween when we were little... And with my brother Brooklyn, we dressed like that for several weeks afterwards because we thought we were super stylish but it's just awful...

Leah: I wish I could have a picture of her at that time, right now...

Alex: I would have loved to see one...

Y/n: Don't you even dare, Leah Williamson...

Alessia: Send me one...

Leah: Already done...

Y/n: Leah... no, seriously... One of the most embarrassing moment of my life...

Alex: While we are having you with us, Y/n. When you see that Arsenal is having a very good operation in the Champions League, do you think it could be your year to bring the trophy home?
