Burnley and west ham stepping up their game, Man utd having a stinker

Today was the first football meeting I was going to. All of the team were bringing their girlfriends/wives and children. So, Declan brought me and our 2 month old baby Jaxon. Declan and I have only been together for 3 and a half years, but we instantly connected.

"Ready?" Jaxon was strapped in his car seat and the bag with his things were in the boot. "Yep, let's go." I felt excited, but nervous at the same time. I mean what will they think?! Declan and I aren't even married yet we have a baby, we are engaged though. I don't care what they think, i'm happy. "Don't stress to much." He put his hand on top of mine while driving. I flashed a quick smile before staring out of the window.

Once we had arrived, I got jaxon out of the car and we walked to the restaurant which was in the training centre. There were already a lot of people there, and i mean a lot of people. One man, who was older than the rest, came over and welcomed us.

We talked to everyone else getting to know them, pretty much everyone mentioned something about how cute the baby is. "Hey Harry!" Declan exclaimed, I looked over to a family of 5, who also had a newborn baby. They also had two little girls. "Oh hey Declan! This is my wife kate, Ivy, Vivienne and Louis." Louis was the little baby. "This is my fiancée Freya and my son Jaxon." He introduced me, I smiled at them both. "Nice to meet you!" I said to them. Harry and Declan went off somewhere, i was left with Kate and the kids. "He's so cute! How old is he?" Kate asked me. "Two months now, how old is yours?" I asked as well. "He's just over 1 month now. It's been hard with the two girls as well, but we've been managing." I loved now that I only had one child. "Aw, if you ever need any help with them just call me. I could use some company as well." We walked over to the table and sat with our partners.

"Kate's nice." I said to Declan. "Yeah, her and Harry have been together since high school." Wow, imagine being high school sweethearts, could never be me. "I'm surprised Jaxon is still sleeping with all this noise." He nodded, "Yeah is he okay? He's quieter than usual." I double checked to make sure that he actually was okay. "He's fine, probably just tured." I placed him carefully into the stroller beside me so that he wouldn't wake up and put his little blankie over him.

"Why isn't it starting?" I asked. "I think he's late again." Nick said from across the table. "probably, he's always late!" They both laughed. I had no clue who they were talking about. I choked on my water when I saw who that person was. Shit.

Jadon.

"You okay?" Declan patted my back. "Yeah.. I'm good." I lied. Jadon Sancho was my boyfriend from 2015-2017. We met in manchester, which is the time he played for manchester city. Then we broke up in 2017 when he joined Borussia Dortmund in Germany. That is when I moved to London and met Declan a few months later. We didn't leave on bad terms, but we didnt leave on good terms either.

Thankfully he hadn't noticed me. "sorry I'm late." the manager rolled his eyes, "late again jadon, next time don't be late or you won't play." His chair scraped across the floor as he sat down on the opposite end of the table to us. "Right then, shall we get started?" and right on cue, Jaxon started crying. "I'm so sorry." I quickly apologised, picked jax up then started rocking him to sleep. All attention was on me for a few minutes and I could see that he had noticed me.

The shock in his face. Probably shock that I was the girlfriend of one of his teammates and he hadn't realised it. Or maybe he was shocked by the fact that I had a child. Or maybe he was just shocked to see me in general. I tried to draw my attention away from him and focus on what the boss was saying.

I had put Jax back in the stroller for him to sleep again, and we were just finishing our meal. It was delicious, high quality food I must admit. I wiped my mouth with a napkin, "that was deicious." Declan agreed. "I'm going to the bathroom." I said and took Jax with me.

"Frey what are you doing here?" I jumped at the sound of Jadon's voice. "don't 'Frey' me. And clearly I am here for Declan." He shook his head, as in disbelief. "You move quick." He pointed at the baby in my arms. "No, I'm just happy. Where's your girlfriend huh? Right, you don't have one. Now excuse me I have to get back  to my fiancé." He grabbed me before I could leave. "fiancé? fucking hell freya, we broke up like 4 years ago!" I cant belive him. "Don't swear in front of my child! 4 years is a long time jadon, surely you aren't that hung up. If you were mature, you would get over this. But it's clear you didn't grow much from when you were 16." And for the first time in my whole life, I had made him lost for words. I walked away and back to Declan.

"Hey" he gave me a quick peck and grabbed the stroller. "Ready to go?" He nodded. "Let me just go say bye to everyone." He went off.

"Freya" I heard the same voice behind me. "Can you just leave me alone Jadon?" He shook his head like he did earlier. "I just wanted to say that I still live you. I know that youre happy now and I won't ever get another chance with you. But I just wanted you to know that." After that, he walked away. I hope I never see him again, but I knew that i would, considering he was Declan's teammate.

"What's up, you seem tense." I smiled, "nothing, lets go."
