Finally understood

Part 6

So how did you get that bruise on your face?" Ella asked me as we are just lay in our beds "oh... at training some girl elbowed me as I fell" "clumsy you" she laughed "yeah," I played it off but I turned out my lamp and went to bed for tomorrow

Tomorrow

England training is hard especially with Leah as the captain we had to do a bleep test and train alll day and it's been the same as that for weeks

I cannot be arsed writing every match so this is the match in the final against Germany

I was on the starting 11 and the match started it was hard like an extra 30 got added as we were stuck at 1-1 but it's a corner for them. Leah booted the ball away what I chased for with another Germany player but they tripped me up and I went flying I soon got up and chased it I passed it over to Beth and she passed it back before I made a run down the pitch I shot in the top right corner and I scored! I scored! And the final whistl blew and the stadium erupted in screaming and cheering and everybody piled on top of me as we just won the euros and as everybody ran off Leah hugged me "you did it for us" she said smiling but we spotted Jacob and mum and dad so we went over "we are so proud of you Leah" my parents said so I stepped back a bit "your goal was fantastic" Jacob hugged me over the barrier but my parents completely dismissed me "you where a bit slow Alex... could of been better" my dad said "really?" I walked off over to lauryn as she is here with Katie and rue "you did great you" Katie hugged me the same as rue and lauryn hugged me separately but Leah came over so they chatted to them and I spoke to lauryn "you fucking did it" she said and I started crying a bit what made her hug me but we had to go get our medals and the stage got put out for the picture with the trophie and stuff  but after the changing rooms was crazy everybody singing and dancing and stuff it was mental but great honestly we all went out partying I got served some how it was great but I left early to meet up with lauryn as I'm already a bit drunk "I'm so proud of you" she laughed hugging me "thanks," I said "and your drunk." She started laughing "I scored, and apparently I'm slow and could off been better so" I started dancing around the streets but she held my hand as i sometimes like to go on walks without telling anybody while drunk "ignore your parents, you won the euros for the team!" She said happily but we carried on drinking she only got tipsy and she took me back to the lioness hotel around 3 in the Morning

Lauryns POV

I knocked on her room number and Ella toone answered "hi I thought she was best coming back here" I could tell she was drunk herself "thank you" she smiled a bit before letting Alex in and we talked a bit before I went downstairs to Katie waiting

Alex's POV

I lay down on my bed as the room is spinning "your goal was brilliant" Ella said and I smiled a bit "we did it though... the first time England has ever won the euros" I smiled "I can't believe you got served at them bars" she said "well England just won the euros they are serving anybody especially the players" me an Ella soon went to bed as tommorw we are going home

The drive back home was rough I mean me and Leah are both hungover "mum didn't really mean what she said" Leah told me "what are you on about" "I know your not just gonna forget that, you scored the winning goal and mum said you did okay and was a bit slow but that's a lie you where amazing for your first England debut" she said "it doesn't matter? I don't care what she says" I laughed a bit but I just felt sick from the car journey "we should of just drove back tomorrow" Leah said "yep," I agreed "did you take your travel sickness tablets" she asked me "Leah I'm not 5," "I don't care your still a child technically now did you" she said sternly "I couldn't find them" "god, did you at least take the paracetamol I gave you" she asked again "no," she reached into the glove compartment in front of me and threw a packet of paracetamol at me so I took two "just don't throw up in my car" she laughed but I managed to make it all the way home but we walked home and all of our family jumped out at us "fuck," I said but like our parents are here and Jacob "what are you guys doing" Leah laughed hugging them "come to surprise you and Alex" Jacob smiled "well done Leah" my parents said hugging her "did you guys see Alex's goal though" Leah mentioned but I had my sunglasses on and my hood up as I'm severely hung over "that doesn't matter, you did a brilliant job" my mum said "nice to see you two Amanda" I whispered walking past them and up the stairs and I text lauryn
