**I would like to apologise in advance for anything that i miss translate. I'm sorry if it offends anyone in any way***

Today is the big day.

Today i leave London, i leave my home for the first time in my life. Am i nervous? So nervous. Am i scared? Yeah, more than you know but i need to do this.

Today, i leave London, i say goodbye but say hello to Spain and say hello to Barcelona, my new club.

I woke up and got changed. I put on some nike joggers with one of Leah's hoodies. I put my necklace on and put my hair into a messy bun. I got my AirPods, phone and passport ready and had my rucksack in hand as well as my suitcase and boot bag.

As me and Leah, patiently waited on Viv and Lisa coming to pick us up. We just held each other.

"goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean i'll miss you, until we meet again"
Leah started crying, which made me cry.

"what if we can't do it. What if long distance ruins us. Ruins this!"

"then that's my fault. I'll take full blame for it, but it won't. Leah i won't stop loving you. Distance doesn't matter, i'll just love you from afar. I'll be back before you know it"

"i don't know how i'm going to do this"

"You know, I don't either. I really don't but i know it will be okay. I'll fight and i'll play for you. I'll make you proud"

"You already have"
Leah kissed me and that's the last 1 on 1 conversation we would have in person for a while.

Viv and Lisa came and me and Leah got into the back of their car. The journey was silent. Leah was crying into my shoulder and i was trying so hard to hold it together but as soon as we reached the airport. As soon as i stepped out of the car, i broke down. I couldn't hold it in anymore. Viv hugged me first.

"I'm proud of you meisje"

"Dank je, meisje"
Thank you, Girl

"ik hou van jou"
I love you

"ik hou ook van jou"
I love you too

I shared one last tight hug with Viv.

"lieke will look after you"

"I'll miss you Viv"

"I'll miss you too"

Next was my favourite Scottish girl, Lisa.

"Alright, no tears. I'm gonna miss you big time, kiddo. Go smash it, Yeah?"

"For you"
I smiled.

"I would like a wee tan soon, so maybe you can gift your favourite people a little trip to Spain?"
Lisa joked.

"You know i will do just that Lisa"

"See ya, kid"

I shared one last hug with Lisa and now it was Leah. We were both emotional wrecks, not letting go of each other.

"i just want to come with you"

"one day my love, one day. I'll invite you over. You visit me and i'll visit you"
Leah just kept crying into my shoulder.

"goodbyes aren't as painful when you know you're going to talk again"

"but- what if we don't?"
