Falling - Jack Grealish Story

One

"You're going with him and that's the end of it, no ifs or buts" Debbie scolded to Alexa as they walked down the gravel outside St George's Stadium, home to the Three Lions, the one and only England team. "He doesn't even want to see me this is pointless, just let me be the family disappointment" Alexa mumbled, as she pulled her hood over her head and tried her hardest to ensure that she didn't fall flat on her face.
"You're not the family disappointment, you just need some time out and maybe the best place for that is where the media aren't snapping pictures of you falling into bushes" Tony chuckled, he was always on Alexa's side but today he wasn't, he was in full agreement with her mum, Debbie, but part of Alexa also thought it was only so he could see his Son before he started playing football again. "Plus, you'll stop ruining Masons good name" Debbie sighed, as sure enough Mason came into view on the steps outside the overly large reception area.

"Mum, Dad" Mason smiled hugging both of his parents, before turning to face Alexa, his smile still the on his face, but fading slightly. "You look rough Lexi" He mumbles, before pulling her into his arms, his strong scent engulfing her nostrils, but it was a scent that made her feel safe, somewhat happier. "Good to see you too" Alexa mumbled, as he finally lets go of her, turning to face their parents once more. "Well, i'll keep her for a little while, she wont be that bad" Mason chuckled, as he wrapped his arms around Alexa's shoulders, but the joke made her stomach turn, it was almost like neither of them really wanted her, Almost as if she was just being thrown between each of them as it suited them. "I'm sure she wont be a problem Mace, but let us know when you want us to pick her up" Debbie smiled at him, before they said their goodbyes - quicker than usual,  before they then took off down the driveway they hadn't long walked up, or being dragged up as some people may put it.

Alexa walked into the reception with Mason, who had now picked up her bag that Tony must have thrown down on the ground during their small talk, but Alexa's main focus was looking around. Mason and Alexa used to spend most training days here, Alexa had never played football but St George's Park was a must see for most people in England, being one of the most iconic places, other than Wembley or Buckingham Palace, and it really had changed since the last time Alexa had walked in here.
There were new photo's of all the players on the walls, but they were somewhat different and more unusual to what used to be on the walls, each portrait hand painted with different colours. I guess, if you didn't watch football - like Alexa tried to do, you wouldn't know who the players were, and that's the predicament Alexa was in right now, She didn't know anyone, nor did Shewant to know anyone, She didn't want to be here.

"Are we going to talk about anything, or are you just going to stare at the walls like they're talking to you?" Mason chuckled, as he plopped himself down on a bean bagged area of the reception, but as Alexa turned to face him, She couldn't help but look at the basketball court that had now been set up in the middle of the room, She don't know how She'd missed it when She first walked in because it took up most of the reception area.

"I just didn't plan on being here, let alone being forced to stay here Mase" Alexa sighed, pulling a hand through her hair. "It's not the worst thing in the world though is it? When was the last time we actually spent time together" Mason chuckled, as he grabbed a bottle of water from the ice bucket. "That doesn't matter" Alexa mumbled, as she pulled the glasses off the top of her head to rest on the bridge of her nose, the hangover slowly setting in. "Look Sis, Mum and Dad both think this will do you good, and quite frankly I don't want my sister dying of alcohol poisoning before we both turn 23" Mason smiles a small smile, but the truth in his words hit Alexa like a ton of bricks. "But how are you, or better yet the England squad going to feel about having your sister around?" Alexa mumbled. as a strong pair of arms wrap around the top of my shoulders. "I'll answer that question Lexa, they couldn't be more happier to have little mount around" Declan smiles, as he pulls her in for a hug, his aftershave engulfing her nostrils, making Alexa feel more sick than she already did. "I hope you're right" Alexa heard Mason mumble, as Alexa turned her head and throw up in the ice bucket, titling her head with the sorry eyes towards Mason. "This is going to be interesting" Mason sighs, as he holds my hair back and Alexa just let the vomit leave her system.
