"It's no hassle at all we want to do one for you" Leah says and all the girls just start agreeing. "Fine, If ye want to" I say "nothing big" I add they just nod. The only reason I agreed is because I knew it would happen anyway.

Later in the evening me and Leah were playing fifa in her room. "So why didn't you tell me it's your birthday?" She asks. I just shrug " I don't know to be honest, no one in my family every really celebrated my birthday I only remember as my sister first text me" I say not going into any more detail. Leah turn to me " y/n look at me, we are a team a family, you even live with me, we all care when someone has a birthday and im sorry you feel like it shouldn't be celebrated" Leah says looking at me. "Thank you really" I say.

"Y/n I'm proud of you" "what" I question. "Im proud of you" Leah says looking me straight in my eyes. "Thank you, I... needed that" I stutter out. "I know y/n it's okay I'll always be here for you" that's when I lost it the tears came and I broke down. I don't get that from my own mother and Leah is telling me this I've never had that.

After our little moment we don't say much and carry on until we get ready for bed.

The next 2 days were basically the same with training and meetings before the match and now it's the morning off the match and I got called to sarinas office before we leave. "So y/n I am going to play you in the second half, I'm telling you this very early as I want you to be ready in your mind, it is a sold out stadium in Crystal Palace the selhurst stadium which holds 25,000 people, you deserve to play, so you can go and get ready now" sarina says "wow wait what really thank you" I say and she just chuckles as I leave to go get ready.

I sat next to Leah on the bus with Mil and rac across from us I update them on what sarina said and all rac could say was "megs the defence like you did to mil" everyone around us started laughing at the memory and mil just sat there annoyed.

We arrived at the stadium and some fans were already there wanting autographs. Surprisingly a lot of them were calling me for pictures which I agreed too. After a long wait we did a pitch inspection and our pre game routines, mine was just listening to some music. I recently got prescribed some anxiety pills so I took that as well as it takes a while to kick in. We changed into out numbers and I was number 30 which I really liked and my name at the back. It felt weird and I felt really proud of it as well I took a quick picture and posted it on my instagram, which very quickly got a lot of likes and comments. There was some surprising ones there from some Spanish girls which I recognised the names off like mapi and alexia and Ona. Which unfortunately are back into the squad as Jorge Vilda was fired and fined eventually. Their comments were saying "see you out there" in Spanish but I got Lucy to translate. I got to say Spanish girls are soooooo fine and I may have blushed.
Anyway we went out for warm up and who do I see. The one and only......
