Tumblr media
It had been a rocky few months, you couldn't lie...
It had only been an international friendly.
You hadn't expected this kind of thing to happen to you at all but in a friendly of all games?
Time had kind of slowed down since the accident. Even if you really tried to remember the game you'd been playing, there was hardly anything there. You remembered the good luck call you had made to Leah just before the game, as always, and maybe you remembered parts of the half time talk by an overly-enthusiastic Sonnett. Other than that it was like a blank slate.
That probably had a fair amount to do with the drugs you'd been put on though.
Although, there were a couple of major things you did remember, that you really wished you didn't. You could recall the sound of your shin shattering to pieces and breaking through skin. You remembered your own primal scream as you went down. You remembered an explosion of pain in your knee. More than anything, you remember the horrified expression of your teammates as they saw you, and whilst they tried to comfort you. You saw it, felt it, and heard it all play out whenever you shut your eyes. On repeat. Again, and again, and agai-
"Leah's calling." Kelley's voice brought you out of your thoughts, momentarily breaking the never-ending cycle of events.
You slowly dragged your eyes from the frayed hem of your blanket covering your hospital bed, and over to Kelley, who was sat in the corner of the room. She had been sat there with you ever since you had arrived.
She nodded down to your phone in her hands as it vibrated and a picture of your girlfriend popped up.
You frowned slightly and just kept staring. She saw the vacant look in your eyes and stood up, "Hey, Y/N, babe?" Her voice called out again, and you saw her move towards you, "It's Leah." She stopped next to you and touched your hand, making you jump out of your stupor and focus on her properly, "It's going to ring out, do you want me to-"
You shook your head and turned it to face the other wall, "Leave it." Your voice was scratchy and dull but you didn't want to ask for water. You didn't want to do anything.
Kelley bit her lip and stayed next to you despite the fact that you refused to look at her. It was breaking her to see you like this. It had been mere hours since you had been admitted but it already felt like weeks.
She sighed and cleared her throat again. You heard the quiet buzzing resume, "She's calling again," This time, Kelley took your hand in hers and squeezed. "Y/N, come on."
"I don't want to talk to anyone. Please." You bottom lip trembled slightly as you withdrew your hand from hers.
"I-" She let out yet another sigh and stood up, answering the phone and putting it to her ear, "Hey, Leah."
Your eyes snapped round to her and you shook your head in disbelief, "Kelley." You hissed, shooting a glare her way.
She ignored you and nodded to the other person speaking on the phone. It was a few more seconds before she responded verbally, "Yeah, give me a second. I'll put her on."
You grunted as your muscles tensed slightly with your frustration. God, everything hurt, "Kelley, I don't-" You shook your head again but she kept her hand out, trying to get you to take the phone. Like a child, you refused to take it, keeping your hands firmly at your side.
In the end, she narrowed her eyes and held the phone to your ear herself. Without any more excuses, you managed to mumble out a greeting, "Hey."
Immediately Leah's warm, loving voice floated down the phone line. The comfort it brought you made tears prickle behind your eyes and you had to blink a few times and swallow the rising bubble of cries in your throat, "Y/N? Oh my god, my love, I just saw the news, that you're... are you okay?" You wished more than anything that she could be right there with you.
But something in the depths of your brain had shut down. Before you could say what you wanted to say - that you were hurt, scared, and overwhelmed, or that you weren't sure whether you could come back from this physically or (more scarily) mentally, or that you wanted to be at home (and by that you would mean with her - that home meant Leah) - before you could say anything at all, your brain just shut down, "I don't- I'm not really in the mood to talk to anyone right now."
She faltered, you could hear her confusion. You wanted her to point it out and say that you didn't sound like yourself, or that normally, if you could talk out your emotions with anyone, it would be her. But how was she to know to say that? "Yeah... yeah, of course, okay." She was trying to be supportive and do what you wanted her to do but you were shutting down and how do you say the right things when you can hardly stay awake and present.
The silence pressed on. She might have said something else but your body just wasn't working with you. Your ears were ringing and your brain hurt. You fumbled over what to say as your eyes glazed over slightly, "I'm just... I don't know what to say."
She spoke again and you could only just hear her, "Y/N... What's happened? Have you been seen by a doctor?" She asked more questions but your eyes became laser-focused on the fraying blanket edge, and you couldn't take in anything else.
"Leah, I've-" You swallowed, your tongue felt heavy and you felt sick. You couldn't do this right now, "I've, um, got to go, I- I'll give you back to Kelley."
She called out, "Y/N-"
You moved your ear away from the phone and shut your eyes, "Can you...?"
Kelley didn't move, "Y/N, talk to her," You pushed your head further away, "Fine, okay... Hey, Leah. Sorry, yeah, we're just waiting for news back from the scans and-"
Her footsteps receded from you and she walked out of your room, softly shutting the door behind her.
You winced and shifted as best you could. Despite the copious amounts of drugs being pumped into your system, there was still an insane amount of pain coursing through your body. With, what looked like, a shin fracture and a shattered knee cap in your right leg and your other ankle bruised and swollen, things weren't looking bright for your soccer career.
How were you going to get through this? You'd overcome a lot but... this? You weren't sure that it was even possible.
After another ten minutes or so, Kelley stepped back into the room. For the first time you noticed she still had her kit on. You blinked. You could see the grass stain on her shirt, a red stain too. You could see your team-the team's crest... she did her coat up. "Uh, I told her you'd talk later."
"You're not wearing shoes."
She looked down at her feet, and she wiggled her toes through her thick USWNT socks.
"Alex is getting me a change of clothes. They'll all be back soon."
"I just don't know what to say." You admitted, your chin wobbling again as another wave of tears threatened to spill.
"I am sorry," She spoke softly and came back to your side, gripping your hand, "I thought talking to her would make you feel better."
"I don't know what to do."
"It's okay."
You shook your head, "No, it's not."
"Let it out, you can cry." And just like that, the floodgates opened.
You sobbed in her arms, "I'm scared."
"I know, I know. Come here," She cradled you and kissed the top of your head, "I'm here for you, okay? We all are." She used her sleeves to wipe your tears and whispered comforting things in your ear, over and over again, "Things are going to work out, whatever happens," Kelley sat up, cupping your face with her hands and looking into your eyes, "Okay?"
"I-" You hiccuped and felt lost for words but you could see the honesty in her eyes and you believed her, "Okay. Yeah, okay."
The door opened again, "Miss Y/L/N," Your doctor smiled, "Let's have a look at your options, okay?"
xxxxxxxxxxxx
"Y/N?"
"Hmm." You grunted and shifted in your bed, bringing the blankets further around your body. You could see that the lights in your bedroom had been turned on as the light crept its way through the blankets covering your head.
Christen tiptoed around the mess of your room - the clothes and rubbish from the past week strewn across the floor, "It's been a couple of days, how- How are you doing?"
You grunted again but this time followed up with a response, "Fine." You dragged the blanket off your head and blinked as your eyes got used to the light.
Christen smiled at you, "I'm gonna open a window, okay?" You didn't say anything in response and watched as she crossed your room and opened the curtains. Your eyes hurt as you looked out at the blue sky and you turned around in your bed so your back was to the window, "Where are your crutches?"
You shrugged, "I don't need them."
Christen bent down to start picking up clothes, "Have you done your exercises today?" You sighed and turned to look at her but the sun was still hurting your eyes.
You lay the blanket back over your eyes and sighed, "Can you shut the curtains?"
"When was the last time you went on a walk?" She ignored you as she threw the clothes into the laundry basket and put the rubbish in a trash bag she'd brought into your room.
You left the question unanswered again as you watched her go through all your stuff, making you weirdly annoyed. You felt that a lot recently for no apparent reason, "You don't have to tidy. I can do it."
"When was the last time you tidied up?"
"What's with the interrogation, Chris?"
Chris stopped what she was doing and sat next to you on the bed, like she had so many times before in the past month, "Y/N, you've got to look after yourself." She took hold of your hand.
"I am." You frowned.
"You're not."
You bit your lip as tears prickled behind your eyes and you turned away from her, "Is that all you came here to say?"
"Everyone on the team is doing everything they can to look after you because we love you, but you've got to start looking after yourself. Please."
You knew you weren't treating yourself well and how much longer could this go on? You were miserable.
You shuffled back over and turned to face Chris, who looked almost as upset as you, and took her hand again, "Okay." A smile immediately broke out on her face and her shoulders relaxed. She squeezed your hand, hard, and wiped the tears from her eyes as she got up.
"I'll put a wash on."
You pulled yourself up to a sitting position and sighed, looking around your mess of a room, "Can you just shut the curtains? Please?"
"Get up." Chris clapped her hands and you winced at the harsh noise.
"Chris..."
Chris stood in front of you and held her hands out, "Come on. You shut them."
You pouted and brought your left, uninjured, leg to your chest and hugged it, "But... you opened them."
Chris gently lifted your right leg and helped you to stand to your feet, putting your arm around her shoulder so she could support you, "You're getting out of bed. Then, you're going to shut your own curtains. You'll have a bath and then I'll fix you something to eat and find your crutches. Sound good?"
"I don't-"
She ignored your objection and started walking to the window, forcing you to start walking with her, "Then we're going to do your exercises together - out in the garden because who knows when the last time you saw the outside world was."
"Chris-"
"And after that you are going to call your girlfriend and-"
You tensed at that, "Okay, okay, I get it." You mumbled, looking down at the floor. It had been ages since you'd spoken to your girlfriend. You didn't even know where your phone was. The guilt of icing her out ate at your chest.
"She misses you."
"I know and I, I-" You took a deep breath, forcing her out of your mind just so that you could start on the little things and work up to calling her, and apologising for everything, "Curtains first?"
"Yep, curtains first. One step at a time." Chris smiled, pressing a kiss to your cheek.

As soon as you heard the knock at the door you knew who would be waiting for you on the other side. You'd been counting down the days ever since the two of you had been in touch and organised the trip.
"Hey."
Even though she had been the one to knock on the door, she still did a double take when she saw you, "Y/N?"
"Hi." You shifted slightly on your feet, feeling a bit of awkward tension in the air. There was so much you needed to say to her.
She smiled gently and nodded past you, asking to come in, "Can I-"
You just nodded, taking a step forward to help her with her bags. She hesitated when she saw your crutch and put a hand on your shoulder to stop you. "It's okay, I can." You smiled stubbornly, not making eye contact with her. Leah ignored your comment and carried her own bags in. You bit your lip but you stepped back and let her into your place without further comment.
There was another moment of silence as she put her bags down and had a quick look around, taking in all the things that had changed.
You rested against the kitchen counter, bit your lip, and took a deep breath, "Leah? I'm so sorry."
Your girlfriend shrugged and played with her fingers to distract herself, "It's- I'm..."
"I really am sorry, I-"
She shook her head and moved towards you, stopping in front of you and taking your hand. Her other hand delicately placed on your cheek and her thumb wiped away a tear you didn't know had fallen, "You don't have to be. I forgive you, but you don't have to be sorry."
"I was so scared, and- and selfish." You sniffled, wrapping your arms around her waist and nestling your face into the crook of her neck. She hugged you back and repeatedly pressed gentle kisses to your shoulder and neck.
"No, I- I should have come sooner. I was scared you wouldn't want to see me."
You pulled back, wiping your cheeks with the cuffs of your jumper, "I'm happy you're here now." You gave her a smile, despite your tears and, for a moment, she just looked at you. You'd never felt more loved in your life.
"Me too."
You spent a few minutes just together again, getting used to how it was before your accident. You wished you'd never blocked her out, just being under her gaze made you feel unbelievably better - as if you could conquer anything.
Thinking about it all inevitably brought more tears to your face. Your thoughts spiralled slightly and your face crumpled.
"I'm never going to play again. Not at all like I used to." You whispered, pulling your gaze from her eyes and focusing them onto the floor. Every time you were forced to admit this out loud was painful and constricted your heart. This was meant to be your life.
She nodded, lifting your chin so that you were looking back into her eyes. "I know. I know, I'm sorry." Leah pulled you back into her body, tightly wrapping her arms around you. You didn't have the energy to bring your hands around her too but that was okay. She was letting you grieve.
You stayed like that for a few minutes. Leah stayed there with her arms protectively around you and swaying you to and fro. After your breathing had calmed down slightly and the tears were starting to dry up, you let out a shaky breath and she let you go and leant back slightly.
"It's - I'm okay, I'm coming to terms with it." You nodded to yourself, trying to convince yourself rather than her. You could see in her eyes that she didn't believe you but she also didn't object, "Have I said that I'm glad you're here?" You laughed, "I missed you. I've missed talking to you."
Leah's eyes lit up and she nodded, "I missed you too." She gently brushed your hair out of your eyes, everything she did was brimming with pure love. "I like being able to talk to you."
"I broke my phone." You said, in way of an apology and also a small part of an explanation of the complete silence from your end. That and you'd spiralled completely after the accident.
She raised an eyebrow, challenging you, "You broke it? I heard you threw it out of the window as a lorry was driving past."
You let out a snort of laughter at the absurd memory. You'd been in, and in many aspect still were in, a really dark place but there was something quite funny in your memory of chucking your phone out into the road and watching with joy as it was run over by the biggest truck you'd seen. Christen had not been impressed and had tried to make you go out and clean it up. You had just made Tobin do it.
You nodded, "Yeah. I have bad days and good days." You smiled.
Leah took your hand in hers again and helped you over to the couch, "More bad days than good?" She asked tentatively, sitting down next to you, wrapping her arm around your shoulders and protectively placing her hand on your thigh.
"Probably. Until last week, it was all bad days so I'm getting somewhere. Chris kicked me out of bed so that helped." You answered honestly, doing your best to stay honest with those that were important - you hadn't done enough of that lately.
"I'm proud of you. And of Chris, for kicking you out of bed."
"Meanie," You turned to stick your tongue out at her, "How long are you here for?" You asked gazing up at her.
"Jonas said I could take all the time I need. To start with, he's said I can have until the end of November."
You looked down and fiddled with the hem of your jumper, "You'll miss some games though."
"I should have missed more to be here earlier but from now on you are my one and only priority." She leant in to you and kissed your forehead.
"You should be back in London, playing." You persisted, letting out a guilty sigh.
Leah hugged you into her side, "You can't get rid of me that easily," She lifted your chin again to look her in the eyes, "And not until you're okay."
"What if I'm never okay?" You asked.
"That's alright too. I'll still be right here with you. Yeah?"
xxxxxxxxxxxx
After five months of intense work on yourself, and with some incredible help from others, you were elated to say that you were in a much better place - both physically and mentally.
Leah stayed with you for the entirety of November, and took the last game of the season before the Christmas break off too in order to be able to stay with you that bit longer.
Luckily, by Christmas, you'd progressed enough that you could travel back to England with her and spend both Christmas day and New Years with her family. The flight had been long and difficult at times, and you'd probably been more grouchy than you would normally be, but part of your process was being more open and honest with your own emotions, and more honest with Leah as well.
No more icing her out.
By the New Year it was clear that you could never play soccer again. You may be able to kick a ball just fine but if you couldn't play anywhere near like you used to, then you knew you would never be happy as a soccer player. Besides, you felt that no team would ever want to sign you now.
You had cried plenty about it in Leah's arms but you were starting to seriously accept it. You started to join Arsenal practice sessions alongside Leah, only as a spectator and just for the nostalgia of it really. But every now and then you got to coach a small group of the team and actually - bossing people around was quite (very) fun.
After you got home with Leah, whilst she was in the shower, you sent a few messages to a couple of your contacts and looked into the training you'd need to take to be a coach. Casey Stoney was ecstatic to talk to you about it all and Vlatko suggested a meeting for when you returned to the States and Jonas said he'd keep an ear out for any coaching jobs.
You asked them to keep quiet about it all and quickly slammed the laptop shut as Leah entered the room, earning a suspicious look from her.
She raised an eyebrow and walked over to your side, leaning over your shoulder and hugging you, "What's that about?"
"Nothing." You smiled, dragging out each letter of the word and shooting her a cheeky smile over your shoulder. You could smell her shampoo from here and it made your heart warm.
She laughed, sending hot air over your neck and making you blush slightly, "Messaging your secret girlfriends, hmm?"
"Shit, how did you know?" You jokingly asked, turning round and wrapping your arms around her waist and flipping her onto the bed, giggling.
You were getting there. One step at a time.
A month later, you found yourself back on American soil, watching your old teammates warm up in preparation for the SheBelieves Cup.
You felt something soft collide with your head and you frowned, looking around you to see who'd thrown their... jumper at you? "Well, well, well, if it isn't the infamous Y/N Y/L/N." Emily Sonnett. "I thought you were never going to get back to the States. London has it's grip on you now, huh?" She grinned, putting her hands on your shoulders from behind and shaking you in greeting. You laughed and turned around, giving her a big hug.
Rose winked at you, "More like a certain blonde has a grip on her." You rolled your eyes and laughed, opening your arms to give Rose a hug as well.
"We've lost you to the English. Your babies are going to be British with their fancy little accents." Emily jokingly gasped, being overly dramatic as always.
You pushed her shoulder back, "Yeah, yeah, tease all you want Sonny, you're just jealous."
Sonny just brushed you off and chose to ignore your comment, which only made you laugh harder, "Have you come to shout at us and make us run faster? I hear you're causing quite the drama at Arsenal, playing coach and making them all do push ups at the slightest thing."
"Oh yeah? I'll have ten push ups from you for that." You winked at her and she scoffed.
"For what?"
You shrugged, "I just feel like it."
"You're not my coach, I don't have to actually do push ups... Right?" She looked at Rose uncertainly when a voice came from behind her.
"Sonnett, on the ground! 10 push ups!" Vlatko shouted, smiling at you.
"You're kidding." She groaned and turned to look at him in disbelief.
"20!"
She tried to protest again, "But-"
"That'll be 25 push ups!"
"Okay, fine!" She relented and got down on the ground, but not before sticking her middle finger up at you. You laughed and watched as she started the push ups, throwing her jumper back at her whilst she did them.
Vlatko walked to your side and nudged you, "Ready for our chat? They can get started whilst we talk."
"Yeah, sounds good!" You nodded eagerly, and followed him to the side of the pitch.
He took a seat and motioned for you to sit down next to him, "It's good to see you again. It's been a while."
"Yeah, thanks for having me."
"It's our pleasure," He shook his head and smiled, "How have you been doing?"
You took a deep breath, "It's been... hard. I've learnt a lot about myself. I'm lucky to be surrounded by such great people, I owe them a lot." You looked out to the field and nodded towards your teammates.
"From what I can tell you've been doing well for yourself." He grinned and you raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, yeah?"
"I heard about the new job." He leant towards you and lowered his voice to share the secret.
"You did?" You smiled. It felt good to talk about it, it made it seem way more real, which was exciting.
He nodded and shrugged, "I have my connections."
"I haven't really told anyone yet. I'm waiting to surprise Leah."
"Your secret is safe with me. I promise."
"Thanks," You laughed, "Yeah, well, I'm actually back here to pack up my stuff ready for the move."
He nodded and leant back in his seat, crossing his arms over his chest, "Well, if you need any help you know where I am."
"Thank you, seriously." You turned towards him to make eye contact, wanting to get across how grateful you truly were.
"No need to thank me," He shook his head and put an arm on the back of your shoulder, "I am so very proud of you. You really deserve this."
You smiled and nodded to the pitch, "Well, if you ever need an assistant coach-"
"You'll be the first one I call." He smiled and stood up.
"Am I okay to stick around for a bit? Pick up some new coaching tips maybe." You stood up too and stretched out your leg.
"Of course, stay as long as you'd like. You're always welcome, Y/N."
You smiled as you watched him walk off, feeling good about how things were turning out. When you turned to look back to the pitch where the girls were still doing exercises and warming up, you saw Alex making her way towards you.
"Y/N!" She yelled and waved excitedly.
You grinned and mirrored her, waving back as energetically as you could manage, "Alex!"
As she got close enough you both wrapped your arms around each other in a big hug, "What are you doing here?"
"This is my new hangout spot, apparently." You shrugged and smiled.
She pulled a face that made it clear she was scheming something and said, "It could work out very well that you're here..."
"Do I need to be suspicious?" You asked, looking around you to try and spot what she was planning for you.
"No, I just, I had to bring Charlie today - and feel free to say no - but ever since we saw you the other day, she hasn't stopped talking about it-"
You brightened up considerably, "Charlie's here?" You looked around again, this time looking for a Charlie-shaped human.
Alex linked her arm with you and rested her head on your shoulder, "Yeah, last minute childcare issue. Would you mind watching her until her nanny arrives?"
"Are you kidding? Of course." You nodded. You'd seen a lot of the pair over the past few days but you could never get enough of little Charlie - aka the cutest human on the Earth (sorry Leah - obviously meant to say Charlie is the cutest little human on the Earth).
"Are you sure?" Alex asked.
"Completely! Yes, it'd be a treat."
She squeezed your hand and let out a sigh of relief, "You're a dream, she's with Kell at the moment."
"I'll come over with you. I always need a Kelley hug." You grinned as the two of you made your way over to the group of girls.
"Honestly, thank you so much."
You shrugged slightly, "No worries, Al, trust me. Anyways I'll take all the practice I can get," You said before hesitating and processing what you had actually just said. You felt your cheeks go red and you shook your head, "I mean, that didn't come out right."
"You and Leah?" Alex raised an eyebrow.
"No, no, we haven't even talked about it. I just meant... if we were to-"
Alex let out a laugh and interrupted your chaotic train of thought, "Don't sweat it. If it makes you feel better, you don't have to give me any kind of answer. But I will be talking about this at your wedding."
"Alex-"
Your protest was cut off as you arrived to where Kelley and Charlie were, "Charlie, guess who's here? Aunty Y/N!"
"Aunty Y/N!" Charlie put both her hands in the air and cheered.
"Listen, I'm going to dash and call Lisa, the nanny, I'll be back in a sec." Alex said and you nodded. She squeezed your arm and mouthed 'thank you' again before she left.
You forgot all about your awkwardness of the previous conversation about kids with Alex and you reached out your arm to wave at the little girl, "Hello, gorgeous!"
"I'm so sorry, I have a girlfriend." Kelley smirked at her joke and you just rolled your eyes.
"Ha ha." You stuck your tongue out at her, "Hi Kelley. And hello to my favourite Charlie in the world."
"Y/N!" She laughed and reached for you. You smiled and lifted her up on to your hip, giving her a big hug.
You also gave Kelley a half hug with your spare arm, "How are you?"
She squeezed you tight and then tried to lift both you and Charlie a little into the hug, "Doing well, you?" You laughed as she let you go and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm doing good," Putting Charlie back on the ground, you took a hold of her hand, "I'm here to steal Charlie off of you. We're going to hang out for a bit, how does that sound?" You asked Charlie, swinging her arm lightly and she grinned up at you, nodding.
Kelley cocked her head to the side, "You're staying?"
"Yeah, I have to head home later to pack but I think I'll stay for training." You smiled, feeling happy to just be back on the pitch and with the same people you'd spent years around.
"Back to England so fast?"
You bit your lip as you checked your surroundings and leant into Kelley, "You can't tell anyone or I will kick your shins but yes, I've got a job offer so... I'm moving." You grinned. Seems like one person had found out and now you couldn't stop yourself from talking about it.
"No way! Congrats! Does Leah know?" Kelley beamed at you, a look of joy on her face.
"Not yet. I'm flying over at the weekend to surprise her so I'm going to tell her then."
She smiled and hugged you again, more gently this time, "That's amazing. I'm so happy for you."
"Thanks Kell, honestly," You smiled and took in a deep breath, trying not to cry. You'd come so far and you would never have got here without your friends, "Anyway, I should let you get to work."
"Yeah, geez, stop distracting me." She smiled before waving down to Charlie, "Goodbye, cutie."
You smirked at her, "I actually have a girlfriend."
"Oh, ha ha." She rolled her eyes back at you and you laughed, watching her run off to the rest of the team.
"Ready, Charlie?" You asked and she grinned, nodding, "Let's go!" You cheered, running off to where her bag had been left.
She tried to race you so you pretended to trip a bit to let her overtake you before running at the slowest pace you may have ever had to run.
When she beat you to the bag, she cheered and laughed so hard, it made it worth it to let her win.
"I'm the most fast in the world!" She yelled. You clapped whilst she took a bow, before sitting down and getting some toys out of her bag. "Will you play with me?"
"Of course I will, thank you." You sat down next to her, and took the character figurine she was holding out to you.
As you were playing and making up extensive story lines for Charlie's toys, your phone began to ring with a FaceTime call from Leah. You paused your playing, much to Charlie's annoyance, so you could accept the call before starting to play again.
"Hello, my love." You smiled into your camera. At first the screen was black but then there was movement and Leah appeared.
"Evening, sorry, I dropped my phone." She wiped at her eyes and let out a yawn before snuggling beneath some blankets.
You frowned, worried about your girlfriend and annoyed you couldn't be there in person to check in on her, "You sound like you just woke up. You doing okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, I've just been tired a lot lately." She grumbled and then pouted, "I miss waking up next to you."
"Me too." You wanted to be there next to her so desperately but you had to make yourself feel better by thinking about your permanent future together - as soon as you started your new job you could see her every day, "I'll be back soon, I promise."
"I'm counting down the days already." She shot you a tired smile, shuffling her head over the blankets in the way of the phone so she could see you as clearly as possible.
"Hopefully just a couple weeks." You lied, sending her a wink to make up for it.
"Hmm," She grumbled again but she perked up when she head Charlie's voice next to you, "Is that Charlie?"
You turned your phone to Charlie, "It is! Say hi, Charlie."
"Hello!" She waved and stood up to come and stand next to you so you could both be on the screen at the same time.
Leah's face brightened as she sat up in bed and waved to Charlie through her phone, "Hi baby!"
You pressed a kiss to the side of Charlie's head and let her go on playing, watching her walk back to her toys and lay them out in a different way so she could start playing again. You glanced back to your phone and caught a glimpse of Leah looking at with what could only be described as complete and utter heart eyes, "Don't give me that look."
She shrugged innocently, "What look?"
You just smiled, "She's cute, huh?"
"Yeah, she is." Leah agreed, and there was a short silence. You thought she was going to say something else but there was knock on her door and someone talked to her. She appeared back on your screen, "Katie's cooked dinner tonight so I should go," She got out of bed and sighed, "I just wanted to see you and talk to your for a bit."
You leant your chin on your hand, "I love you."
"I love you too." She smiled close to the camera, "Talk later?"
"See you later. Bye!" You kissed your camera several times before hanging up and putting your phone on the grass.
You laid down on your front in the grass next to Charlie and picked up one of her toys.
"She's right, you are the cutest, huh?"
She nodded in the most matter of fact way and said, "Yeah."
"Yeah?" You laughed, "Do you think I should have a little baby? A cousin for you to play with, huh, would you like that?"
"Yes! I think you should have a girl, like me." She smiled.
You leaned towards her to share the biggest secret of all, "Hmm, I think me too but, shh, don't tell anyone."
"I could show them my toys!" She went back to her bag and handed you one, "She could have this one. When I am old." Your heart melted at her smile and you nodded.
"You could? Wouldn't that be lovely!" You grinned, letting your heart get ahead of itself. You hadn't even moved back to England yet and you were already planning big things for the future.
Charlie pointed to someone behind you, "Look. Mama!"
Alex heard her kid call for her and looked up from the ball, you smiled, "Hi Mama Alex! Wave, Charlie!" and the two of you sat together on the sidelines, waving at whoever came close enough and playing with her toys.

Sneaking into Borehamwood was like a secret spy operation. (It really wasn't, at all, it was the easiest thing you've done - no one on the team saw you).
You sat in the stands with your cap and sunglasses, watching the match and cheering on your girlfriend, as well as all your friends whenever they got a touch.
Looking back, you really did an awful job going undercover as, by the half time whistle, photos of you at the game were all over twitter and the camera man for the tv coverage had panned over to you multiple times.
As soon as the game ended, Leah made eye contact with you and grinned, rolling her eyes.
"A couple more weeks! You liar!" She happily yelled over the barrier as the two of you walked towards one another.
You made your way through the crowds and were allowed to go through the barrier onto the pitch, and immediately wrapped your arms around her waist and lifted her gently, "I'm sorry I lied, I wanted to surprise you."
"It's okay, I forgive you. But only because it was such a great surprise." She quickly pressed a quick kiss to your lips before looking around and blushing.
You grinned, "You're cute, you know that?"
Katie put her arms around the two of you and squeezed into the hug. "You know, it's only been two weeks and she was genuinely going crazy without you." She put her arm around your neck and ruffled your hair.
"It's good to see you, Katie." You laughed, trying to duck out of her grip.
She gave you a side hug, "Same to you. I'll see you at home?" She winked at the two of you and disappeared off to see some people waiting and asking for pictures and autographs.
"I'm so, so glad you're here," Leah kissed your cheek, "I'm going to say hi to some fans and then we'll leave?"
You nodded, letting go of her so she could join Katie at the barriers, "No worries, take your time."
As she was walking off, Tobin ran to you and jumped on your back, wrapping her legs around your waist. She completely unbalanced you and you both went tumbling to the floor in laughter.
Leah's voice came from far away, "Careful!" She called out and looked for your reaction, you gave her the thumbs up.
"I'm okay!" You called out and she visibly relaxed, returning to the girl she had been speaking to.
Tobin patted your stomach with her hand, "You good?" She asked, rolled onto her side and propping herself up on the grass with her elbow.
You smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I'm great." You sat up on the grass and pushed her so she fell on her back, "Thanks for rugby tackling me to the floor."
She laughed and sat up too, facing you, "Anytime! It's so good to see you!"
"You too, it's been a while and I missed you when I dropped into camp." You pouted, she'd chosen to sit out on the camp that had just passed with the team in order to start up with Arsenal.
She shrugged and nodded, "It felt weird not the be there but wanted to settle in here. I missed everyone though."
"Yeah, it makes sense. They obviously missed you too," You pulled at her shirt and winked, "You really suit the Arsenal look, Tobes."
"Thanks," She laughed, looking down at her kit. Her face lit up and she leant towards you, "And congrats by the way! Kelley told me about yo-"
You shook your head and shushed her quickly, "I am never trusting Kelley with a secret ever again." You groaned, looking to Leah to make sure she hadn't heard anything.
Tobin followed your gaze and raised an eyebrow, smirking, "You haven't told her?"
"Not yet. Tonight." You bit your lip to surprise a grin but Tobin caught it all the same.
"You're such a romantic."
You shoved her to the ground again, "Shut up."
"You're so in love!" She shouted from the floor, grabbing you and pulling you down with her. She lowered her voice again, "I mean, moving halfway across the world for a girl? For the second time? Come on."
You managed to sit back up, "Pfft." Your gaze was drawn to your girlfriend who was laughing at your antics with the fans.
You waved and smiled before Tobin tapped your back, "Let's go, before she takes her shirt off and I lose your attention completely. You'll start drooling soon."
"I don't drool."
"You sure?" She raised an eyebrow and turned around. Whilst she wasn't looking, you quickly checked just to double check you weren't drooling - nope, definitely not, take that Tobin!
You felt Leah snake her arm around your side, "Hello, my love." She kissed your cheek, close to your ear.
"Hi."
Katie appeared the other side of you, "Are you guys coming out for drinks?"
Leah looked at you and you looked back, "Uh, actually I was wondering if I could talk to you... back at yours?"
"Is this code for something?" Katie asked, looking between the two of you with a suspicious look.
Leah hesitated, "I- no? I don't think so." And you shook your head, smiling.
"No. I genuinely just need to talk to you about something. No code, I promise." The group of you walked off the pitch and into the kit room.
Katie raised an eyebrow, "Well, now I'm intrigued."
"Nothing to worry about. It's good... I think?"
"Okay? Yeah, of course," Leah nodded, her arm still around you. She nodded to the others, "You guys go ahead and we'll see you later."
Katie gave one last suspicious look between the two of you before shrugging, "No worries, see you later."
"Good luck." Tobin fake whispered as she walked past you, patting the back of your shoulder.
Leah stopped in the corridor and raised an eyebrow, watching Tobin go before turning to you, "Good luck?"
You just shook your head, shrugging it off, "It's just Tobin being Tobin."
"Hmm."
"Stop being suspicious, I love you." You smiled, pressing a kiss to the her nose and then her lips.
"Okay, fine, I love you too."
As Katie left to go to the car park, she walked past the two of you, "My money is on Y/N being pregnant." She jokingly shouted as she walked out.
"Yes, Katie, you've cracked it. I am pregnant with Leah's baby." You called after her and she cheered.
"Got it in one."
xxxxxxxxxxxx
The front door to Leah's place shut and immediately Leah dropped all her bags. You left your suitcase in the hallway and walked into the lounge with her.
She fidgeted around for a few seconds before turning to you, "You don't have to tell me what you want to talk about now, but do I need to, like, prepare for what it is?"
You stepped towards her and took her hands in yours, stopping her from fidgeting, "I'm sorry, I feel like I've stressed you out. I can tell you now, it doesn't need to wait for anything in particular. I just wanted to tell you when we were alone."
"No, I'm fine, I just- It's not bad, is it?" She asked, biting her lip.
You smiled and squeezed her hands, shaking your head, "No, not bad," You sat down on the couch and, when she joined you, you moved to sit cross legged so you could face her, "I've been offered a job."
Her eyebrows shot up and she turned to face you too, "What? Oh my god, I- congratulations! As a coach?"
You nodded, "Yeah."
Leah's face lit up as she gazed at you, "I'm... I am so proud of you."
"I'm sorry I made it seem more serious than it is." You winced and she shook her head.
"No, this is serious! Well, I mean good serious. It's big news." She licked her lips and leant forward to press a kiss to your lips.
She pulled away slightly and you bit your lip, "Yeah." Leah sat back down but pulled you closer to her so you were almost in her lap.
"Where... where would you be working?" She asked.
You rested your hands in between the two of you, "Angel City offered me a contract as a coach, starting straight away." You could feel her tense slightly and her eyebrows rose again, but not as much as before. You could tell she was trying to hide her disappointment.
"That's- oh my god, yeah, that is great news! With Christen there, especially." She nodded to herself.
"Yeah..." You shrugged, "Well, so did Lyon, actually."
She made eye contact again and her smile grew slightly, "Really? I'll support you whatever you choose, but... Lyon! That's- It would be amazing. I mean, it's closer than LA. It's pretty much the same time zone as London. Did you- which one did you choose?"
"I turned Lyon down." You scrunched up your face.
"Oh?" She asked and then quickly changed to try and sound more positive, "Yeah, that's good. You know, the stuff going on at Angel City sounds really exciting."
"Yeah, but I-"
"And I think California would be a nice! The sun, the water, the... it will be fun!"
You tried to shuffle as close as you could to stop her from talking, "I turned Angel City down too."
"What? But- I thought you wanted to go into coaching. This is such a great opportunity for you." She frowned and looked at you, trying to work out where you were going with this, "I don't get it."
"You know how much I want to be with you? And be here-"
She grinned and rolled her eyes, "And be my WAG, yes I know. And I love you so much, Y/N. But I can't be the one that stops you from going after what you have worked so hard for."
"You're not. I promise you." You took a deep breath, here goes nothing, "I was also offered a job here, by West Ham, working with their Women's team and Academy players."
Leah seemed to stop breathing for a moment and you swear that, if you listened closely, you could hear the cogs turning in her brain.
She blinked slowly, "In- here? In London?" She asked and you nodded.
"Yeah."
"Oh my god." She breathed out but didn't react any further. You gulped silently and searched her eyes for any other meaning behind her reaction, or lack there-of.
You put your hand on her forearm, "That's a good oh my god, right? It's not the 'oh my god' of someone who's disappointed or like, I don't know, signed a contract somewhere else to be with her girlfriend?"
Finally, her eyes sparkled again and a grin broke out on her face, "No, no, it's a good oh my god." Leah shook her head, "I mean- they've asked me whether I want to renew and I haven't decided yet because I wanted to talk to you first but-"
Your eyes widened, "Oh my god."
"What should I do?"
"Are you kidding? Please stay. Arsenal is your home. Plus, who am I going to live with if not you?" You laughed.
"You don't have a place to live yet, do you?"
"Who do you think I am? Of course not. All my stuff is currently being shipped across the ocean and I have nowhere to put it."
She leant forward on her knees and wrapped her legs around your waist to sit in your lap, "I love you. Never change," She put her hands under your cheeks and smiled, "At least the spare bedroom is still free."
You put your hands on her hips, "If I remember correctly, I didn't make much use of having my own room last time I lived here."
"Or the times you weren't technically living here but came to live with me all the same." She brushed her nose against yours.
"It's just comfier with you in your room." You spoke softly, just before she connected her lips to yours. You moved your hands up to her waist under her shirt and leant back.
She smiled, "Hmm," She pushed you back and followed so that you were both lying on the couch, her slightly on top of you, "I can't believe we're getting to live together again. I can wake up next to you everyday."
You stretched out your legs and circled your arm around her, pulling her further on top of you, "Maybe we should start saving up for somewhere, just us?"
"Have our own place?" She rested her arm on your stomach and put her hand down to rest on your chest, just over your heart.
"I just like the idea. Me and you." You mumbled and pressed a kiss to the top of her head.
She sighed, both of you in a complete sense of comfort and love, "We could get a house with a nice garden and lots of space for kids and a dog and- what?" She lifted her head to look up at you.
You kissed the tip of her nose and smiled, "I just love you so much. That's all."

Please! Rewatch the quiz! I need something to remind me that that actually happened.
I still vividly remember that day. Going out on a chill bike ride with my two best friends for the first time in months. Sitting in the cool grass. Having a picknick. Not too hot out, nice weather. AND THEN I GET HOME TO THE ABSOLUTEL SHITSHOW THAT HAPPENED THAT DAY! Because what the HELL even was that, I still haven't processed anything. My mind keeps erasing that memory until some days the it just hits me square in the face and knocks me out 😀
So yeah! I would love it if you talked more about it, might help to cope a bit xD
Okay anon you motivated me, you were my Final push, I’m Doing it ! 🗣
Also I love that story tho you really have a Vivid memory connected to this whole thing and I’m living for it 😂 you were just having a nice day and then Boom, all this mess 💀
But aight so I’m Watching it rn and will be taking notes Live as I watch Here we go:
My first thoughts is, when Dream decides to do the quiz, he seems so like, confident? And then as soon as he reads the description, his voice falters at ‘and now things are changing’ and I’m Dead 💀 his confidence from two seconds prior in that moment goes like 📉 then cue flustered laugh lmao
“Do you ever catch yourself staring at your bff?” Dream’s flustered laugh and being all like “these questions are gonna be so weird” uhhhhh dude what are you expecting you’re taking a are you in love with your best friend quiz 💀
HES SO DEFENSIVE ON THIS ONE LIKE- he keeps wanting to make excuses aww drema aww 😭 it’s okay !! George is pretty we Understand you staring king 😌
Like legit that’s the first question and he’s already so flustered and- MY GOD GEORGE HASNT SAID A THING I JUST REALIZED WAIT HOLD ON I NEED TO GO BACK-
Two scoffs. That’s it 🧍‍♀️
GEORGE JSJWNSOWNEEJEN HES NOT SAYING ANYTHING IM DYING WHAT
Even when Dream first goes ‘aight imma take the am I in love w my best friend test’ George is SILENT 💀
Listen- listen, I’m having a moment over this cause I don’t remember him being silent from the start I thought it was like a slow descent into him just going silent eventually, BUT NO he’s just Silent from the moment the quiz is brought up 💀 but gives like a slight scoff when Dream’s voice wavered at “changing” like he’s very much Listening, just being So silent.
I just can’t wrap my head around how he doesn’t answer any of Dream’s comments, Dream keeps being like ‘right? Like that’s normal, right? Like that’s not weird. Right?’ And George is just SILENT 💀
“Do you get jealous if he or she has a bf or gf” LMAO THIS QUESTION MY BELOVED
His answer is so weird I will die on this hill.
ALSO GEORGE S P E A K S for the first time in the quiz 😭🗣 but not much, he says ‘but’, cause, yk, they both know he do get jealous so.
Which, again. Weird as hell. Imma say it, I’ve never felt jealous of my best friend getting a partner like what ???? W h a t
But ofc when they’re so clingy on each other, like a partner would take the others place because they pretty much have each other in that spot already, so it makes sense huh
And that’s not platonic btw I wanna make that clear LMAO
I think the points of which George laughs are interesting. And there’s something interesting to his laugh too. I don’t see his face lighting up with it, if that makes sense. It’s like a, I wouldn’t say ‘nervous’ laugh but, I struggle to find a better word for it 🤔
AYO MY MANS DREAM SAYS I DONT KNOW TO IF HE GETS BUTTERFLIES FROM GEORGE I- 💀
THATS NOT AN I DONT KNOW QUESTION KING
EITHER YOU DO OR YOU DONT AND YOU KNOW IF YOU DO OR DONT LIKE W H A T
I have to sit with this one for a second like . What ? 🧍‍♀️
Butterflies.
I’ve never. In my life. Like.
That’s not- you can’t say you don’t know- THAT MEANS LIKE-
Dear lord.
Aight I’m moving on (not actually imma be awake thinking about this later. Not by choice, absolutely not. This just won’t leave my brain unfortunately.)
Hang on. George says something here when Dream says ‘I have no idea’ but I can’t tell what he’s saying ? Like he mumbles something whilst Dream starts talking at the same time and I can’t make it out and I wanna know what he says 💀🗣
I Think he says ‘what do you mean you have no idea?’ Which like, YEAH, you Should question him on that king 🧍‍♀️ but it’s interesting how quiet he is, like he barely pushes the question, and this is like the second ?? Time he’s spoken so far. 🧍‍♀️
Also Listen to how flustered Dream sounds my god💀
This quiz never should’ve happened what’s Wrong with him like is he this blind ?? Did he Really think taking this quiz was gonna end well ?? 💀
“TecHniCally🥴”
“My future is your future”
I feel like we’ve talked abt these LMAO such Romantic phrasing my god
Again him going ‘right?’ And George is Dead Silent 💀
It’s interesting, like I’ve reached the ‘dreams’ question now, and it’s hitting now and throughout this quiz how, Dream is Loudly deflective, but George is silently deflective. If that makes sense? Like he’s choosing not to speak so his words can’t be thrown back at him cause he Knows if he speaks it’ll be obvious. Whilst Dream over explains and fucks himself over p much lmao. They’re both just a mess around this subject 💀
“How would You be in my dream” is such a funny sentence from George LMAO he’s so defensive 💀 like even I have had dreams abt Dream, like you’re his Best Friend, ofc you have dreams abt him my guy 💀 deflecting it is so weird. So Weird
“I’ve never hugged you” Sad hours 😔
It’s interesting here. Cause they speak abt the whole ‘do you go out of your way for this person’ and Dream is stuck on if he should say ‘more than anyone else I know’ or not. Which, there’s ofc observations to be had here as well.
But ! What I found interesting here was how George goes onto say ‘you made me pay you’ when Dream says he edited his video for him. And how George keeps the ‘lie’ going for a very short bit before laughing slightly, by god he sounds so.. different? Like when he usually makes little lies to troll or stuff like that, he’s much more extra and keeps the bit going and- idk how to explain it but the tone of his voice is usually way different. Here he seems to, idk, struggle to keep that up. His laugh is also just like, somewhat toneless?
LMAO The MOMENT Dream got the question ‘what do you think abt their laugh’ George’s laugh Stops. 💀
“Do you ever think abt what it would be like to Kiss your best friend?”
THE SILENCE
Also,
how Dream read ‘kiss’ 🤝 how Dream read ‘changing’
Some words hit this man different huh LMAO
“Why did that take you so long” on the kiss question, CALL HIM OUT GEORGE 🗣
HRKEJEKEEJEKJEEIEJ HOW ARE THOSE- SORRY WHAT DREAM ??
“HOW ARE THOSE THE ONLY OPTIONS” ???
God, for real, I wish Dream would get to sit down with someone one day who just Listened to him speak and allowed him to slip up and just sound so in love with George like give himself away simply because nobody is saying how weird he’s-
Hold on.
Wait. A minute.
George.
George is doing that LMAOOOO
Him sitting there silently and not responding to all his small questions abt what he Should answer and such, he’s so smart🧍‍♀️
AIGHT MOVING ON
George’s laugh keeps sounding very, like, strange😅
Anyways the way Dream Had to have a ‘yes’ answer to the kiss one will forever keep me up at night. Now along with the butterflies one🧍‍♀️
I rly wonder what options it is Dream is looking for when he says ‘none of these options’ so often. What is it you wanna say king ?
WHY IS THE BUTTERFLIES QUESTION TWICE AND WHY IS HIS ANSWER NOW DIFFERENT LMAO - drema it’s okay it’s Safe Space 🗣 I feel like he probably saw chat responding to his first answer and realized ‘oop, that’s not platonic’ and changed his answer LMAO 💀 he’s- Ahh hard to find the right words for my Thoughts here, but he’s doing that thing where he looks for others what is ‘normal’ instead of seeing what he feels, cause what He feels is, uh, well we all know what results he got at the end there,,
I mean the kiss question is all u need really. The butterflies one puts icing on the whole cake.
“Do you compare this person to others you’ve dated? Noo...” AIGHT AND THERE WE HAVE THE CHERRY ON TOP OF THE WHOLE THING
This was the one of the Most sus ones imo from when I first watched it. It had my head spin, head in hands for Days.
What do you MEAN you compare him to others you’ve dated? Why does he tell George to shut up, why do they both Know there’s a story there- I have so many questions on this and- this isn’t platonic 💀😭 AT ALL - and there’s no excuse or explanations for this one, they just Move On 💀
The Speed at which they move on 💀
And then George goes So silent 🧍‍♀️
Dream is cruising through the questions and George is so silent now. He was Stunned into silence from that shut up LMAO
I like how Dream picked ‘absolutely’ on being able to tell George everything :’)
So.
Why does George not say anything on the ‘do you think your best friend is in love with you’ question? No joke, no protest, no- no nothing?
That leaves us to fill in the blanks king, just saying🧍‍♀️
Why does Dream sound sarcastic when he says it’s a tough question LMAO
“I have no idea” aight good answer ig LMAO let’s Pretend
George’s silence is for real very sus there. Very. 🥴
Dream putting ‘no’ on thinking he’s in love, is Very funny and shows just how blind he is to himself.
He rly put ‘I don’t know’ for the butterflies one and found the nearest ‘yes’ option for the kiss one and then still put ‘no’ at the end - he’s a lost cause and owns no mirrors I see how it is. (/j btw lmao I have hope in drema ofc, he too can become more self aware one day<3)
“You are a little in love with your best friend” cue both of them laughing in just the weirdest ways. George just sounds absolutely toneless like, I don’t think he’s even smiling with that laugh, gaze absolutely dazed at what he’s being witness to, not even knowing what to do with himself in that moment. And Dream’s laugh is also just, weird?
“You don’t wanna ruin it, Dream.” Followed by Dream’s immediate, “oh what? It says-“ like immediately moving on lmao 💀 that “oh what?” Sounded like “oh what’s that there oh that’s rly weird wow let’s move on from what you just said ahem wow really weird thing over there” LMAO
“There’s a two percent chance there” LMAO
OH NO THE SILENCE WHAT
I THOUGHT I ACCIDENTALLY PAUSED THE VIDEO BUT THE SILENCE IS SO LONG AND SO LOUD
Then Dream going onto pretending like he’s gonna do another test As If he’s not been planning his escape excuse from the very moment he got those test results LMAO
And the silent pauses are taking me out 💀
‘I think we’re done’ HOW COULD HE LEAVE AT THAT POINT 💀💀💀
“COOL PODCAST” IM DEAD ON THE FLOOR
“WHY ARE YOU SO NOSY” DREAM I- WHY U SO DEFENSIVE GEORGE ASKING WHERE YOU’RE GOING IS A NORMAL THING TO ASK 💀YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S SUDDENLY LEAVING
NOT DREAM AWKWARDLY SINGING THE WIZARD OF OZ-
HE SOUNDS SO WEIRD-
The tone of his voice is so off my guy is so ready to leave and sit and stare at a wall whilst looping heatwaves for five hours 💀
:((((( drema my beloved :((((( it’s okay to be in love !!
Not him leaving- he full on ignored George’s ‘where are you going?’
He’s not going anywhere istg the moment he left that discord he put his head in his hands and just Stared 💀
Poor George 🥺
