ella & alessia

Alessia's pov:

"you ready to go home?" ella, my best friend and roommate, asks me after training.

"sorry I forgot to tell you, I've got a meeting with Marc so I'll be home later."

"okay no worries what's it about?"

"I'm not sure, i think about changing my shirt number for next season."

I'm completely lying through my teeth here. I know exactly what the meeting is about, it's about my contract. But I don't want to tell anyone anything before it is absolutely confirmed that I'm leaving or staying. Especially not Ella.

"Oh okay. I'll see you at home then."

We say goodbye and then I make my way to my managers office. I knock on the door and then take a seat in front of him.

"Hi Alessia." He says in a friendly tone.

"Hi Marc. You wanted to discuss my contract?"

The meeting only lasts about half an hour, but it's a half hour full of important decisions and big changes.

My contract at united expires at the end of the season and apparently lots of clubs were interested in me. But ultimately, it was decided that Lyon will be my new home as of next season.

Marc thanked me and then I left his office, collected my things from the changing rooms, and then walked to my car and started to drive home.

How am I supposed to tell Ella? She's going to be crushed. I just have ti rip the bandaid off and do it.

I turn my key and open the door.

"Ella? Where are you?" I shout.

"I'm in my room!" Ella shouts back.

I walk to her room and sit down of the bed next to her.

"How'd your meeting with Marc go? Did you get your number sorted out?"

"Well uh, the meeting wasn't about my shirt number. It was about my contract." I say hesitantly.

"Oh uh okay. Are you staying at united?" Ella already knows the answer is no, but she is desperate for a yes.

I shake my head. I notice her eyes glass over and tears form in her eyes.

"As of next season, I'm moving to France and I'm signing for Lyon. I really hope you understand, I just need something new, I need a change."

"No, I get it. I just can't imagine playing for united without you. That's the way it's always been."

"I know Ella." I move closer to her and wrap her up in a hug. She hugs me back tighter, burying her head into my neck and letting her tears fall into my shoulder.

We stay like that for a while, until Ella pulls out of the hug and holds my hand.

"I'm so proud of you though, I know it's what you need and what you want. Im just sad that you have to leave. But I'm still so proud of you Less."

I smile at her and hug her again.

After we pull apart, we lean back and just lie on the bed next to each other, Ella leaning her head on my shoulder.

"Next game is my last." I say, tears now beginning to form in my eyes too at the sudden realisation.

Ella doesn't reply, instead she puts her arm around my torso and hugs me tightly. I place a soft kiss on the top of her head and then lean my head on hers.
