right where you left me

After experiencing the heartbreak of a lifetime, Tippah Jones decides to leave Lyon, and move to Arsenal, in the January transfer window of 2022. The 23-year-old Australian midfielder is ready for a fresh start, away from her ex-girlfriend, Ellie Carpenter, and the pains of heartache.

At Arsenal, Tippah's life brightens. She starts playing alongside her fellow Matildas, Steph Cately and Caitlin Foord, and meets new people, including the new English captain, Leah Williamson.

However, this new life, for Tippah, isn't always easy. The pain is always there. The anger is always there. But, someone, somehow, is able to make it all better, lighting Tippah up like only Ellie had ever been able to do before. Everything seemed as if it was falling into place. As if the pain allowed for new happiness.

But, Tippah's demons run deeper than just a surface level heartbreak. Her pain is not just found in her past, but also her present. Her anger isn't found just in heartbreak, but also addiction.

How does Tippah deal with this forthcoming pain? How does her new team help her, including the person she never thought could love her? And, in the end, can pain actually be healed with time?

Right Where You Left Me is the second story in the Swiftly Pitched series, showcasing how childhood trauma can translate to adult pains, and that the people around you are the most important, even if you don't believe it at first.
