So this is great I had the worse day of my life yesterday and now I have a game.

I get up and head into my bathroom to shower and get ready. The game started at 3 and it was currently 11 so I needed to be there for 1.

Once I'm all showered I slick my hair back into a pony and get ready in just some jeans and a hoodie.

As I walked around the house was silent so I'm guessing he was most likely avoiding me at all costs and had left early in the morning.

I grab a breakfast bar and an orange juice and drive off to the stadium.

"Morning" Keira smiles at me "morning" I say with a small smile walking past her to my locker getting my kit and boots out.

"Long night" Jana asks patting my back "yep" I say "do you need a hug" she asks with a gentle smile "no I don't need any pity it's my fault it happened" i say stuffing my normal clothes in my locker and slamming the door causing everyone to stare "sorry" I say to everyone. "Are you sure your okay" Jana asks "yeah it's just stupid drama nothing I can't handle anyway I need to be focused on the game not my love life" I say before getting up and walking out towards the tunnel

"You didn't answer your phone last night I called you like 6 times" a voice says behind you as you're walking "sorry it was just a tough night pedri" I say "how are you" he asks "ugh I don't want people's sympathy It's all my fucking fault" I say breaking down into tears "it still matters how you feel" he says walking closer and bringing me into a hug

"I just feel so bad pedri gavi won't even go near me" i sob "he will come round eventually you know how he is he's just hot headed and he's still young just like you he doesn't know how to control his emotions properly" pedri says "he's never going to come around though he's still mad at Ferran for slapping him that one time" I say and pedri chuckles "Ferrans a dick though and you're not" he tells me "that is true" I giggle

"I need to go now they're lining up thankyou pedri" I smile wiping my eyes "don't worry about it I'll see you later" he says before running off

I jog down the stairs into the line holding my mascots hand ready to walk out

Walking on the pitch the crowds cheered. Seeing loads of people wearing my shirt and holding signs about me normally this would cheer me up but it had no change to my emotions.

It was now the second half it was currently 2-0 to us me scoring both the goals but I did receive a yellow which was slightly deserved but it's fine asking as I don't get another.

Atletico Madrid were now attacking trying to get a goal in as it was coming to the end of the game. I don't know what hit me maybe it was my anger that I had but I went for the ball but decided to slide tackle the player causing them to fall to the ground holding their left leg. I knew what was coming as soon as the referee came closer placing her hand in he pocket.

And there it goes right up in the air the red card. "What the fuck I barely touched her" I shout at the referee before storming off to the changing rooms. "I'm so fucking dumb" I shout kicking the water bottle on the floor across the room. After cooling down I head back outside to watch the final ten minutes of the game. I don't sit on the bench as I'm not ready to talk to anyone yet so I sit on the other side just in front of the family and friends part

"Hola" I hear a quite squeaky voice behind me "hola" I say turning around looking at the young girl who I realised walked out with me holding my hand at the start of the game. "You look lonely do you want to sit with me" she says holding her hand out for me to take "sure" I smile and jump over the barrier and take a seat next to her. I knew I'm not allowed to do this but I already got a red so what's the worse that can happen. 

"So what's your name" I ask her "Sofia" she says with a massive smile "Sofia that is a beautiful name" I say "I already know you're name it's lily" she chuckles "it is do you like football" I ask her "yes I wanna be you when I'm older" she tells me and it warms my heart "you're gonna be a great footballer I can already tell" I smile "really can we play sometime" she asks "yes of course you can come to one of the training sessions with me one day" I tell her "pinky promise" she says putting out her pinky "pinky promise" I reply interwinding our pinkies. 

"How come you were so angry on the pitch" she asks me "I wasn't that angry" I laugh "you was you looked like my mummy when I don't eat all my vegetables" she giggles and I laugh "do you come to lots of the games" I ask "yes my papa knows the big people here so I come a lot" she tells me "that is awesome I'll make sure to keep an eye out for you every game" i say and her face lights up "I'll even make you a poster" she tells me "that would be awesome" I reply

And there it was the final whistle I hadn't really been watching the match but I'm pretty sure no one else scored as I would of heard it

"Okay I have to go now would you like my shirt" I ask her "yesss" she cheers and I take my coat off and pass her my shirt "thankyou" she says hugging me and I jump back over the barrier and onto the pitch to praise the fans.
