I can't do this anymore

Chapter 28 - top bins!

Carmeñ's pov:

It had been a moth since my little chat with Jill and I was doing much better. I still hadn't played but Emma said that she will put me on today. We were playing Juventus at home today so we didn't have to spend to long in the bus. I had FaceTimed Alex and we had chatted for a bit. This game was the final one before international breaks and we had 2 friendlys against Poland and Brazil.

'Nimah!' Jessie screams from the lounge. I was sitting on the sofa with my bag next to me ready to go.
'We always end up waiting for her' she says while sighing and she plopped down next to me.
'It's fine J breath' I said and she put her head on my lap and I ran my fingers through her hair.

Niamh finally walked into the room with her bag and her camera. I swear she was addicted to it.
'Awww how cute' she said looking at us on the sofa. Jessie blushed and hid her face more on me and I just laughed.

We finally managed to reach the stadium on time.
'hola mis chicassss' I said as I walked into the changing room.
'Tissiè! You ready for your amazing come back?' Guro said giving me a hug.
'You bet!' I said.

The first half started and I sat next to
Niamh on the bench. Se was being rested this game and was going to commentate the whole thing for her vlog.
'So Volvo' she said earning a slap on the back of the head from me.
'Owwww but anyways are you ready for your big comeback' she asked me shoving the camera in my face.
'Sì sì' I said nodding. 'It will be good and I know I'm ready'
'Good good and I do expect some goals' she said trying to look scary. I laughed at her.
'por supuesto Charlie' (of course)

The whistle blew to signal half time and is rated to panic. I sat in the changing rooms with my head in my hands.  What if I didn't play well. Emma would be so disappointed. She would never let me play again and Lex and all the Barça girls would hate me. I would never play for-.
I felt someone sit next to me and pulled me into their lap. I felt myself melt into her touch.
'Your gonna do amazing'she said into my ear.
'But what if I don't' I asked
'You will, just breath' she said rubbing my back. 'I have a surprise for you' she said.
'You do?' I asked
'Yep come with me' and she pulled me up.

She lead me out the changing room and I saw a familiar brunette.
'ONA' I screamed and pounced on the girl. She caught me and held me tightly in her arms. I felt small tears prick my eyes and sniffed. She pulled away but held me at arm length.
'dios te he extrañado' she muttered. (God I have missed you)
'Qué estás haciendo aquí' I asked her as I wiped my eyes. (what are you doing here)
'bueno despues del partido podemos volver a lo tuyo y mañana podemos ir a españa' she said. ( well after the game we can go back to your and tomorrow we can go to Spain).
'Sì Sì sì' I said excitedly and hugged her again.
'estas bien mi amor' she asked into my hair and I started to tell her everything.

We were sat on the floor outside the changing rooms when the team started to come out.
'Tissiè we have to go now!' Millie tapped my shoulder.
'Okay coming' I said back and quickly hugged Ona.
'hazlo por el' she whispered in my ear. (Do it for him)
'lo haré' I said back before following my teammates. (I will)

The game continued and I sat on the front bench both my legs bouncing.

In the 50th minute Emma told me to start warming up. I took my coat off and started warming up with my heart pounding. As the ref picked up the sub board I felt the neves really kick in. I looked up to see Ona and she gave a a massive smile and thumbs up. Okay. I thought. I could do this. My number when up on the board in green and I heard the cheer of the croissant as I ran to my position on the pitch. I could here my name being chanted. God I missed this.

Niamh's pov:

'And you can here the cheers as she enters the pitch. We are all so proud of her and she really does deserve this' I said into the camera smiling.
