So how did you get that bruise on your face?" Ella asked me as we are just lay in our beds "oh... at training some girl elbowed me as I fell" "clumsy you" she laughed "yeah," I played it off but I turned out my lamp and went to bed for tomorrow
Tomorrow
England training is hard especially with Leah as the captain we had to do a bleep test and train alll day and it's been the same as that for weeks
I cannot be arsed writing every match so this is the match in the final against Germany
I was on the starting 11 and the match started it was hard like an extra 30 got added as we were stuck at 1-1 but it's a corner for them. Leah booted the ball away what I chased for with another Germany player but they tripped me up and I went flying I soon got up and chased it I passed it over to Beth and she passed it back before I made a run down the pitch I shot in the top right corner and I scored! I scored! And the final whistl blew and the stadium erupted in screaming and cheering and everybody piled on top of me as we just won the euros and as everybody ran off Leah hugged me "you did it for us" she said smiling but we spotted Jacob and mum and dad so we went over "we are so proud of you Leah" my parents said so I stepped back a bit "your goal was fantastic" Jacob hugged me over the barrier but my parents completely dismissed me "you where a bit slow Alex... could of been better" my dad said "really?" I walked off over to lauryn as she is here with Katie and rue "you did great you" Katie hugged me the same as rue and lauryn hugged me separately but Leah came over so they chatted to them and I spoke to lauryn "you fucking did it" she said and I started crying a bit what made her hug me but we had to go get our medals and the stage got put out for the picture with the trophie and stuff but after the changing rooms was crazy everybody singing and dancing and stuff it was mental but great honestly we all went out partying I got served some how it was great but I left early to meet up with lauryn as I'm already a bit drunk "I'm so proud of you" she laughed hugging me "thanks," I said "and your drunk." She started laughing "I scored, and apparently I'm slow and could off been better so" I started dancing around the streets but she held my hand as i sometimes like to go on walks without telling anybody while drunk "ignore your parents, you won the euros for the team!" She said happily but we carried on drinking she only got tipsy and she took me back to the lioness hotel around 3 in the Morning
Lauryns POV
I knocked on her room number and Ella toone answered "hi I thought she was best coming back here" I could tell she was drunk herself "thank you" she smiled a bit before letting Alex in and we talked a bit before I went downstairs to Katie waiting
Alex's POV
I lay down on my bed as the room is spinning "your goal was brilliant" Ella said and I smiled a bit "we did it though... the first time England has ever won the euros" I smiled "I can't believe you got served at them bars" she said "well England just won the euros they are serving anybody especially the players" me an Ella soon went to bed as tommorw we are going home
The drive back home was rough I mean me and Leah are both hungover "mum didn't really mean what she said" Leah told me "what are you on about" "I know your not just gonna forget that, you scored the winning goal and mum said you did okay and was a bit slow but that's a lie you where amazing for your first England debut" she said "it doesn't matter? I don't care what she says" I laughed a bit but I just felt sick from the car journey "we should of just drove back tomorrow" Leah said "yep," I agreed "did you take your travel sickness tablets" she asked me "Leah I'm not 5," "I don't care your still a child technically now did you" she said sternly "I couldn't find them" "god, did you at least take the paracetamol I gave you" she asked again "no," she reached into the glove compartment in front of me and threw a packet of paracetamol at me so I took two "just don't throw up in my car" she laughed but I managed to make it all the way home but we walked home and all of our family jumped out at us "fuck," I said but like our parents are here and Jacob "what are you guys doing" Leah laughed hugging them "come to surprise you and Alex" Jacob smiled "well done Leah" my parents said hugging her "did you guys see Alex's goal though" Leah mentioned but I had my sunglasses on and my hood up as I'm severely hung over "that doesn't matter, you did a brilliant job" my mum said "nice to see you two Amanda" I whispered walking past them and up the stairs and I text lauryn

I got a shower and cleaned up a bit before she came and she walked into my room "hello there" she said as I stood up and she kissed me "hi," I smiled a bit "so, are you planning on running back to Europe any time soon?" She joked "hmmm not any time soon" I laughed "good, I missed you" "did you?" I laughed "yeah we practically seen each other every day then it turned to face time for a month and a half" "true" I smiled "Katie also wanted me to invite you and Leah around for dinner tommorw night" "dinner?" "Yeah. I don't know why just like we can hide anyway" I agreed and we ended up just messing about then watched a movie "what's that on your arms" lauryn grabbed my arm. Shit I quickly pulled away "Alex cmon let me see" "it's nothing" I played it off but she pulled up my sleeve and looked at me "it's old," I said "still.... How come you didn't tell me?" "Doesn't really matter I'm over it now so" I carried on watching the movie "well I'm here if you wanna talk" she was actually sweet about it but I pulled down my sleeve and the pair of us ended up finishing the movie but we just went on our phones "it's mad I'm dating the girl who plays for England" lauryn said getting all giddy "I know I can't even believe it myself" I smiled but her phone kept ringing "it's Katie I should probably go" she said sitting up "alright," we kissed another time before she left and that's it. The house is empty with just me in it. I un packed then I slept for a couple hours but I woke up to Leah coming into my room "what" I said as she had a different mood and I could tell something was up "uhm... they signed all of their parental rights over to me they are completely done with you" she said "no." I laughed a bit but then I realised they are serious "am I really that bad" I asked her "hey no, okay dad is just a hot head and mum gave up parenting after Jacob this is not your fault" she got in bed with me and I rested my head on her as she was just playing with my hair "now you have to listen to me" Leah joked "shouldn't you be out with like Jordan or something it's a Friday night" I said "I cancelled, this is more important to me anyway I'm still hungover" "same" I laughed a bit "I don't get it." "Get what" Leah asked me "why now do they give it up why not when I first came here? Why wait while I'm acc happy for one I mean fuck I just played for England and they don't want anything to do with me" "I know it's fucked up they should be proud except they aren't... and you can't help that you tried your best and to them that's nothing" "yeah." I said quietly but soon Leah left to go un pack and I just went back to bed
The next day
I have a match today against Liverpool so a bit of a challenge, I got ready and headed downstairs "you ready" she asked me "yeah" I nodded my head and we started the drive we got there a bit late so I had to rush to put my boots on as I'm starting
The ref blew the whistle and the game started. Liverpool immediately made it to the box but lauryn took them out with a slide tackle passing it to Ella I made the run into space but immediately the defenders went for me and slide tackled me and tripped me up so I fell over "what the fuck!" I yelled at the ref so it was a free kick. I mean it was outside the box so it was hard with a wall I front of me so I curved the ball into the top left corner and scored some how but everybody was in shock I managed to get it in from a angle like that but the rest of the match we won 1-0 but some dude called me an lauryn over and our sisters where smiling at us "hi my name is jonas, I am your sisters coac if you don't know me but I watched you two play you guys are advanced compared to everybody" he laughed a bit "a bit" lauryn added "and that goal of yours Alex.... I wasn't you both to come play for the senior team in the WSL" he asked us "what" I smiled "yes" lauryn agreed and so did I obviously and he left us "you knew" I said to Leah and she smiled hugging me "of course I did" she laughed and we walked out to the car "I'm going pro that's mad" I said laughing "I know we're gonna work together" she said excitedly "what do I have to live and work with youuuu" I joked "shut up" she lightly hit me but we pulled into the drive and headed inside "the email came this morning everything had finalised about the custody, you are officially mine" she laughed "damn" I joked "anyway can I go out tonight" "tonight? I don't know.. where and what are you doing" she asked "party with people from school Ella's house" I asked "fine but I'm taking and picking you up at 12" "thankyouuuu" I said before running upstairs and I got a shower blow dried my hair shaved and everything and now it's around 6 so I started to get ready "no get changed" Leah said as I walked down the stairs "Leah everybody is wearing stuff like this" "you look like a stripper" she laughed "okay, strippers make money" "Alex! Get in the car" she caved and she just got dead pissed off tryna find this Ella's house but we eventually got there with the loud music "I mean it be outside here for 12 SOBER" she yelled as I got out the car and I headed inside but I'm just partying as today has been the best day of my life, immediately everybody knew me so I got along and got absolutely bladdered and a few lads took pictures with me "you okay there" one came up to me "yeahhhh" I said "you a bit drunk," he laughed "nope" "where's your ride?" "What time is it" I asked "uhhh 12:15" he said "oh she's outside" "how about I walk you our" he smiled before holding onto me walking outside but Leah quickly got out of her car running over "guessing your her ride" he laughed "yeah sorry, thanks" Leah smiled and he headed back in but she put her arm around me as we walked back to the car "it's 12:15" Leah said "sorry," I said a bit I mean a bit tipsy "it's okay" she said laughing as she helped me into the car and then she got in and we started the drive home "there was music, a lot of drinks. I mean a lot" I said "I can tell. You're just a bit drunk" she said "no I'm not?" I said "okay fine your not drunk" Leah just kept nodding her head and said yep to everything I said on the way home but as we pulled up I was almost asleep like I'm out of itttt "cmon" Leah said opening my door and she helped me outside and upstairs but I tripped on a stair and just started endlessly laughing "Alex come on" Leah said trying not to laugh and she helped me to my room "okay, you throw up bin is right here" she put a bin next to my bed and I gave her a thumbs upppp "your really fucked" she said cruising beside my bed before leaning against the wall "I'm fine, nothing new" I smiled "what's up with you lately" she asked me "just mum and dad, I mean if me playing for England! And now arsenal ain't enough for them what is" "they are just bad people Alex you can't control that" she said
"I mean I can, dad told me to kill my self may as well commit to it" I laughed "is that how you really feel," Leah said kind of weirdly "yeah" I tried laughing choking back the tears "i mean but it might just do everyone a solid, if I'm gone who's really affected I'm just a pain in the arse to you Jacob only speaks to me sometimes mum and dad gave up what's the point anymore." "Don't think like that sure you are a pain in the arse to me but I love you your my little sister after all. That's what sisters do so I'm worth it and I would miss you I'm sure lauryn would" "maybe" I quietly said but honestly I don't have a clue what I'm saying I'm drunk I'll admit anything "night Leah" I said "night Alex" she said looking at me like with a worried look but I turned my back to her and fell asleep
Leah's pov
I didn't know Alex truly felt like that, she always has some happy look on just being a little shit in general just now has me thinking what if she does something She's not gonna come tell me if she overdoses or something, god how could I miss this.
