"Millie what the fuck are you doing" Remi groans as she feels a dip in her bed in the early hours of the morning
"I'm too cold with just a blanket. I regret giving my duvet to the boys now"
"Well i did tell you, you would be cold. James and Cole were fine with blankets"
"Yeah just shut up will you? I'm cold so i'm stealing your bed with you. Where's Callum?"
"Asleep on the rug. He got too warm and for some reason wanted to sleep on a rug"
"He does realise that you have a couch in your room right?"
"I would hope so"
"Anyways, let's get to sleep. I'm tired"
"Me too"
The girls fall back asleep quite quickly.
Millie and Remi invited everyone over for a group sleepover tonight. Liam declined the offer since he is getting up early to get his train back up to Scotland.
09:00
"You burned it you fucking idiot!" James voice echos around the house
This and the smell of burning wakes the girls up and instantly they sit up and look at each other
"What did you do to our kitchen?" Millie asks running in looking at Cole
"I was making toast" He says innocently
"It's not a fucking bushtucker trial Cole" Remi says taking the bread out the toaster
"It is with that toaster. It's complicated to work"
"It's a toaster Cole" Millie argues turning to him
"A complicated one!" He argues back
"Right whatever. Who wants toast i'll make it?"
"I'll have some" Shea says walking into the kitchen following Callum
"Me too" Cole answers
"Just a slice please"
"Right so to sum it up everyone want some then?"
"Yeah" They all answer
"Good, now everyone out. Don't trust any of you in my kitchen now"
Everyone leaves except Callum, who appears behind Remi, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Good morning gorgeous"
"Good morning Callum" she sighs leaning into him
"What's wrong this morning?"
"I'm just tired, also shitting it for this appointment tomorrow"
"You'll be okay. Have you told the others yet?"
"I don't know if i want to tell them incase i can't"
"It's up to you babe" he says pressing a kiss to her head
"i think i'm going to tell them. i'm just scared incase i can't play again, my ACL is getting to the final stages of healing and i'm so close Callum"
"i know i know" he says calming her down
"but don't think negatively. Think about the positive way it can end"
"True"
"Come on, i'll take some plates through too"
They bring the plates through and the group eat their toast in peaceful silence
"Can i talk to you guys. Like on a serious note?" Remi says standing up to the group facing them
"Oh it is serious, it's like your making a speech" Cole says putting his plate down
"What's up?" James asks
"So i was questioning wether to tell everyone this or no since only my Dad and Callum know. But tomorrow is a big day for me. I will find out if the medication and therapy for my heart has worked which means i will find out if i can play football again"
"The only reason i didn't tell you guys is because i'm scared of the results. I'm sorry for not telling you"
"Awh Rem come here" Millie says opening her arms "You don't have to apologise for not telling us, we understand why"
"And whatever results tomorrow we're going to be here for you" Shea says sitting down the other side of her

Friday 17th June
"Princess" Phil shouts finally snapping Remi out of her thoughts
"Yeah yeah sorry"
"I shouted your name like 6 times" he laughs slightly
"sorry"
"No you don't have to apologise. What's up?"
It's at this point Remi just bursts out in tears and Phil wraps his arms around her instantly. Luckily they are in a parked car.
"I can't do i dad, i can't go in there and listen to them tell me news that i don't want to hear" she sobs into his chest
"Sh sh sh it's okay let it all out, let it all out. I'm here. I'm here"
The sobs continue for about 5 more minutes and Phil slowly runs a hand up and down her back reassuringly.
"I'm too scared to go in Dad"
"I understand baby"
"What if they tell me i can't"
"Then we will do anything that we can to get you back, anything. If it means going to America and spending 1 million pound then that's what we will do. You're going to play again i promise"
Phil and Remi finally go out inside, with a small camera crew following them.
Remi had agreed to do a small documentary showing her progress of getting diagnosed with this condition so young and her getting back into football so for the past week so far she's had a camera crew following her
-
"So are you ready to hear your results?" the doctor asks Remi who is gripping Phil's hand
"I don't know to be honest"
"Well you can relax Remi. It's good news you can play as soon as your ACL is healed. You'll be back by next season"
As soon as Remi hears this. She breaks down in tears. This time happy tears. Phil can't help but shed a few tears too.
"You're very lucky Remi, a lot of people don't make it this far and you have made it this far because of you. You doing the right treatment for your heart has helped you get here"
"You've done this Princess you" Phil smiles hugging her tightly
"We do still need you to take medication just to keep up your hearts power and when you have a break in training or at half time just monitor your beats per minute with this monitor, just for 5 minutes"
"Okay" Remi nods
"You should be proud of yourself Remi. Very proud"
"Thank you for everything honestly, this means everything to me"
Eventually Phil and Remi get ready to leave the room and when they do they see Millie, Shea, Callum, Liam, James and Cole all sitting in the waiting room
"What are you all doing here" she laughs slightly wiping a few tears away from her eyes
"Waiting on you, we want to hear the results. So?" Shea asks
"You will see me playing in the first team next season" she says excitedly
The group gather around her, embracing her in a tight hug. Not only was it a special moment for Remi. But it was a special moment for everyone.
"Wait Liam you were meant to be up in Scotland for summer"
"i couldn't miss a special day like this could i?"
-
Next thing there was walking into the City grounds and walking up to Pep's office. Remi slowly knocks on his door and he tells her to come in
"Oh the cameras are in here" he laughs "sit down, sit down"
"I've got news for you"
"Good or bad?"
Remi passes him a piece of paper.
"Is this from your doctor?" he asks
"yeah"
He slowly unfolds the piece of paper and begins to read
"You can play next season?"
"Yeah"
"Awh princesa" he smiles getting up to her
-
"Uncle Jack" Remi shouting walking into his house
"Hiya darlin" he smiles opening up his arms
"Guess what" she says sitting on his couch
"You've got good news i can tell"
"See next season"
"Yeah?"
"I'm going to be training with you"
"You got cleared?" he asks excitedly
"I got cleared"
He instantly picks her up and spins her about
"Oh i'm so happy for you kid, so happy"
