,,Hey, you okay?“, the tattooed girl asked with her thick Spanish accent. ,,Emilia? Who was that?“, she tried again and sat down next to me on the couch as I just stared over at the wall. The drawings from Mapi hang everywhere. They were pretty. ,,Girl, talk to me!“, she said as she snapped her fingers in front of my face. I turned to her at this, a big grin plastered on my face.
,,Mapi...I got a call up..“, I whispered, still not believing myself. ,,Martina just called.“ There was a silence for a moment as we both to tried to process what just happened. She slowly stood up, not breaking the eye contact or losing the shocked expression on her face.
,,Ingrid..?“, she called out, probably not knowing how to handle it right now, before soon after the brunette Norwegian came over to us.
,,Yes, Mapi?“ And suddenly the Spanish girl started grinning.
,,EMI GOT A CALL UP!“, she screamed exitedly and Ingrid's eyes widened. In a matter of second I found myself in a bone crashing hug from the brunette and Mapi joined soon after.
,,I'm so proud of you.“
I had lived with the two women for three years now since I got a contract for barça when I was 19 and I had no idea how things in such a big club or even in Spain worked. Well, first I lived with just Mapi before Ingrid moved in with us at some point as well. Mapi had kind of adopted me since day one. She had taken me home with her because my parents had fucked up at finding a flat (which they had promised me) and telling me before I actually went to Barcelona. So when I came there and realized I hadn't a place to stay I just went with Mapi for some days, well, I stayed. I had lost the contact to my parents completely at one point and even when I was an adult by now, Mapi didn't let me move out. Not that I minded.
One annoying thing is just; I did my job at barça as a defender perfectly. And well, that was the problem. I played in Spain from the beginning so I never made it into any youth teams.
And another thing is; I was out on loan for one season at Bayern. Besides barça, Bayern always had been a club I wanted to play at once and since my trainer here had agreed to me getting some more experiences, I went with it. In munich I found great friends, which I was excited to meet again now and I had found the person that made me the happiest girl on this world. Lea and I are together for two years now, and even if it was hard, it worked.

,,Lucy! Lucy! Lucy!“, I screamed as I ran onto the pitch and practically jumped into the defender's arms. Laughing, she wrapped her arms around my body and spinned me around.
,,What's going on, little one?“, she asked as she put me down again, a big smile playing on her face.
,,I got a call up!“, I said loudly, still way too excited about it since I would probably not be playing in one of the two friendlies but anyway.
,,I know! Georgia just called.“ Lucy laughed. But before I could reply I got tackled onto the ground. The person rolled away a little as we landed on the grass but immediately after, she straddled me again and her head popped up right in front of mine.
,,You got a call up! Little Em got a call up! I can't believe it you're going to kick some ass and you're going to be the biggest player in the world bigger than Lucy or Mapi or Alexia even! And..and you're just going to be just great and I'm just soo proud of you you can't even imagine I could kiss you all over your face right now, for rea-“, the english redhead got cut of from her national and club teammate. Lucy lifted her up from me as if she was nothing.
,,Take a breath, love. I know you're incredibly proud of her but she has a girlfriend you know. And you, my little pumpkin, do as well.“, Lucy said in the calm voice of hers.
,,Sorry, Luce. I'm just way too exited.“, Keira answered with a big smile on her lips.
,,I know you are..“
,,Is this my favorite German?“, someone screamed behind me and as soon as I turned around I was pulled into a big hug. ,,Aww, I'm so proud of you, niña.“, she said as she squeezed me tightly.
,,Thank you, Alexia. Actually, I wouldn't have got the call up without you. You are such an inspiration for me and so many others. Honestly, thank you.“, I mumbled into her shirt while her grip around me softened and she gently kissed the top of my head. I literally felt some tears running down my cheek and I knew she noticed, so I just continued to hide my face in her shirt, knowing I got all the support from not only my national teammates but also my teammates at club, while the Spanish girl just held me.
,,Hey, you okay, hermana?“, someone who I knew was Mapi asked and at this I broke away from Alexia, only to wrap my arms around her as well. I nodded quickly before taking in her scent and trying to calm down. She smelled like honey. She has always smelled like honey which was because of her shampoo that she used for ages now. And actually our whole apartment smelled like honey. I don't even know why but I loved it.
,,Emi, you deserve this call up so so much. You trained so hard and never gave up and I'm so damn proud of you, hermana. You are so strong and got such a strong mindset as well. Literally. Remember the champions league final? Even Alexia cried after this game some weeks ago, even I did. But you just walked around like nothing has happened, being your happy little self and shrugged it off, already thinking about what the failure was and what you could do better, even when you probably were the one who made the fewest mistakes. I don't know how you got to this point, and god, I wish I could play and think like you do, but I also know that you worked so hard for all this and I'm so beyond proud of you. Like so proud.“

Two days had passed by and now I sat in a plane on my way to Germany. I had decided to fly over a bit sooner, since barça started the international break some days before other clubs, just like Bayern Munich. So I talked to Alexander, who allowed me to join the training for the last couple of days. I was grateful for that. Not many coaches would allow a player that doesn't play for them, to watch or even train with their team. But Alex knew me already. Not only had I visited Lea a lot in the past few weeks but I originallyk
met him because of Ingrid. When Alex became the new coach of Bayern, I was so nervous to show up at the campus again. Jens, the coach before him, had made very clear that he didn't want me anywhere near the campus if it wasn't for a game. Back then he scared the shit out of me and I was determined if I would ever go onto the training ground again. But when Alex became coach, he said there weren't any problems in me playing with them, it's something I really appreciated.
Still, I had been worried about meeting him since the last time I had met the Bayern coach didn't went well, so Mapi and Ingrid had decided to come with me, so I could show them around my home and Ingrid could introduce me to Alex. Mapi had just been with me, holding my hand. Ingrid and Alex knew each other from Norway and that made things a lot easier. Ever since that day I, as well as Mapi and Ingrid, got a warm welcome from everyone when I came to the campus, the staff and trainer team was amazing, really and if I wouldn't have found my home at barça already, I knew Bayern would be the right place for me.
After some hours of sleeping and reading the plane landed in Munich, Germany. So I got off the plane and got my suitcases before walking out to the parking lot, looking for a very familiar face. And once I saw it a, a big smile spread across my lips as I hurried towards her.
,,Lea!“, I breathed out as I fell into her arms. She hugged me back tightly, before breaking away to steal some quick kisses. ,,Ich hab dich vermisst.“ (I missed you.), I said while she smiled at me and guided me to her car.
,,Ich dich auch. Obwohl es mit Georgia einfacher war weil Lucy und Keira immer über dich reden wenn sie telefonieren.“ (I missed you too. Even if it was easier with Georgia because Lucy and Keira always talked about you when they called.), she explained and I laughed.
,,Natürlich!“ (Of course!), I grinned, throwing my head back in amusement. Some time later we arrived at Lea's flat and since she lived in the Bayern ghetto as well, we decided to join Klara, her boyfriend, Sydney and Georgia in making pasta and watching Christmas movies. ,,Isn't it a little early for Christmas movies?“, I asked as we came through the door with Lea's spare key, a smile appearing on my lips as we watched all of their heads spin around immediately.
,,EMI!“, Klara screamed and ran towards me, bringing me in a bone crushing hug which was soon joined by Georgia and Sydney.
,,We didn't know you were coming.“, Georgia smiled, looking as exited as the others even tho we knew each other only for a really rare time.
,,No George, YOU didn't know she was coming.“, Klara grinned which received a slap on the back of her head from the english girl.
,,Don't act as if you knew.“, Georgia glared at her. ,,And don't call me George, Gabriele!“, she spat jokingly, calling the young German by her much hated surname. That made Klara glare back at her.
Sydney pushed both girls away from each other, ,,Okay kids, stop. You're being immature. Alex said we have to work on our behavior an-“
,,Alex didn't say that! You're just saying that because you know we don't listen to you!“, Georgia defended and we all burst out laughing.
God, how have I missed this.

After dinner we all settled down on their big coach, me cuddled up to Lea on the right and Klara cuddled up to Simeon on the left, while Sydney laid in the middle and Georgia was having a phone call with Keira, as we watched the 5.282.010th Christmas movie.
,,Ich hab das so vermisst.“ (I missed this so much.), I wispered towards Lea as she smiled down at me and played with my hair, not saying anything. ,,Was schaust du so?“ (Why are you looking at me like that?), I asked chuckling before she stole a quick kiss from me.
,,Ich liebe dich einfach..“ (I just love you..), she wispered and now it was my turn to peck her lips, my cheeks flushing red.
,,Ich dich auch.“ (I love you too.), I kissed her again, and then again and then-
,,Könnt ihr aufhören?“ (Can you stop?), Sydney winced. ,,Alle küssen sich ic- warum hab ich niemanden zum kuscheln?“ (Everyone is kissing I- why do I not have someone to cuddle with?), she looked around quickly. ,,GEORGIA!“, she screamed.
,,WHAT DO YOU WANT?“, Georgia's voice screamed back.
,,CUDDLES!“, Sydney whined. We laughed before Georgia came back into the room, a smug grin on her face.
,,See, K? Here in Germany are people who actually care about me and don't only call to talk about someone else or to ask about someone else.“, she grinned, proud that she could prove her point. ,,Here Emi, she's talking about you anyway.“, she grumbled while handing me the phone and snuggling into Sydney's side.
'Hello?'
'Yes, Emi! Hi! Everyone is going crazy in Spain and Lucy can't shut up as well.. did you turn your phone off?'
'Oh shit no! I forgot it! I'm at Syd's and Klara's right now.'
'It's fine. I'll tell Lucy you're fine. But you should call Mapi, she's worried sick.'
'Okay, thank you K! Love ya!'
'Love you too and see ya! Tell G I love her too!'
I chuckled at this. These two are so hilarious.
'I will, bye.'
'Bye.'
I ended the call and turned to Georgia. ,,I should tell you she loves you.“, I said and Georgia smiled softly, thinking about her best friend.
,,I know. Now call Mapi or she'll come here to check on you.“
I did what she said.
'Georgia? Are you with Emi? She isn't answeri-'
'Hi Maps.'
'Emilia? Thank God! I thought your plane exploded or Lea ate you or something.'
'Ew Mapi! Don't say that, that was so gross! And no, no plane exploded, just forgot my phone.'
You know I love annoying you, hermana.'
'Yeah. Well love you Mapi, I gotta go!'
'Yeah right. Love you too.'
