Scarlett's POV

"So Bayern's still fucked?" I question as we ride to the Bayern stadium.

"Yep." Jasmine says.

"Boo." I say as my girlfriend's and I look at our line-up for tonight's 2nd leg of our champions League quarter-final tie against Bayern Munich.

1-Madeline Sow
2-Jasmine Johnston
6-Leah Williamson(C)
4-Naomi Girma
12-Emily Fox
5-Lena Oberdorf
18-Kyra Cooney-Cross
17-Jessie Harris
23-Alessia Russo
14-Scarlett Blondeau
11-Sophia Smith

After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind me then I relax for the rest of the drive while snuggling with and talking to Leah and Jasmine.

Once at Allianz Arena, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.

When we get to the locker room everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.

Once my stuff is in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.

When I get onto the pitch, I stand with Leah and Jasmine as we talk to our teammates for a few minutes then we head back to the locker room to get ready for the game.

Once I get to my locker I take out my nose ring then I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, and my rings.

After my jewelry is off, I put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe, phone, and wallet in my bag.

Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my long dark brown hair up in a ponytail then I put on my long sleeve baby blue undershirt, my warm up top, and my game shorts.

I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my red boots.

Once I'm dressed, I stand up, walk out of the locker room, and head onto the field with the outfield players.

When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the starters for a while then we head back to the locker room.

Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my baby blue jersey while Tobin does her last minute talks.

When the last minute talks end we are told to head to the tunnel so I hug and kiss Leah and Jasmine before I head out to the tunnel.

Once in the tunnel, I line-up in-between Madeline and Jasmine then I wait for us to be called out.

Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Madeline out onto the field.

Once on the field we stand in line for a few seconds then we shake hands with the Bayern Munich players.

After we shake hands we take a starting XI picture, Leah does the coin toss, then we do our team huddle before we head onto the field.

"So if I score a goal tonight can we do that singing thing again?" I question

"Yeah Mama." Jasmine says. "Yeah we can.

- - - - -

"My turn." I say as I sit down on Jasmine then Leah pulls my legs into her lap.

"I love our singing time." Leah says with a smile.

"Me too." Jasmine says as she wraps her arms around me then Leah starts playing the piano.

I scored 2 goals last night in our 4-0 win so my ladies and I get to have singing time.

A few seconds after my center-back starts playing the piano, I start singing.

If you're so lucky that she lets you know her heart
Be careful how you hold it
If you're so worried that the afterlife is dark
Then make sure that she knows this
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved

Least I can always say that I told her
How the only thing I know is how to hold her
Long as I can feel her head upon my shoulder
Well, I'd never feel the nights getting colder
I can't relate to havin' a heart like that
All your wonder and your trust intact
I put the phone down and you call right back
Put all my pieces back, if I deserve it or not

Let me tell you how the sun rose, how my heart dipped
How her eyes were all full up
Love can leave you down a dirt road with a burst lip
And your pride all cut up
Let me tell you that it's worth it, so protect it
I know it hurt you so much
But you know that I respect it, you were tested
And I saw how you stood up

If you're so lucky that she lets you know her heart
Be careful how you hold it
If you're so worried that the afterlife is dark
Then make sure that she knows this
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved

I can't relate to havin' a heart like that
All your wonder and your trust intact
I put the phone down and you call right back
Put all my pieces back, if I deserve it or not

Let me tell you how the sun rose, how my heart dipped
How her eyes were all full up
Love can leave you down a dirt road with a burst lip
And your pride all cut up
Let me tell you that it's worth it, so protect it
I know it hurt you so much
But you know that I respect it, you were tested
And I saw how you stood up

If you're so lucky that she lets you know her heart
Be careful how you hold it
If you're so worried that the afterlife is dark
Then make sure that she knows this
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved

Let me tell you 'bout a good soul, how my heart skipped
How I coulda died that summer
Love can leave you down a dirt road till you curse it
Still your God wouldn't pull up
Don't we know that nothing's perfect? We accept it
Love is flawed just like all us
Every little thing the sun shows, well, it's worth it
All the scars that you suffered

If you're so lucky that she lets you know her heart
Be careful how you hold it
If you're so worried that the afterlife is dark
Then make sure that she knows this
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved
She is loved, she is loved, she is loved

"You are so loved Scarlett." Leah says.

"Yes you are Scarlett." Jasmine says making me all fuzzy inside. "Yes you are."
