Ellie Lowe was a huge football fan, she had loved football ever since she was a child and going to the football with her uncle every week, standing in the stands no matter what the weather, rain or shine Ellie and her uncle were there.
Now it was the summer of the 2020 Euros and Ellie was in full football mode, she was the typical British football fan, beer garden, England shirt, flag waving, full face painted and chanting at the top of her lungs.
She revelled in the wins that England kept pulling out of the bag, goal after goal keeping the country on the edge of their seats.
Then the final came, Ellie watched the game at her best friend Jessica's house because Jessica's boyfriend Jamie was cousins with England's number 14 Kalvin Phillips, Ellie joked that he needed to introduce them pair as in Ellie's words 'Phillips was one of the best midfielders since Gerrard.... Aside from Jack Grealish'.Everyone believed England would smash this game just as they had with their previous games, unfortunately that wasn't to be.
As Bukayo Saka missed the decisive penalty Ellie froze on the spot and tears rushed down her face, she couldn't move, she felt the pain of all the players on the pitch, especially Saka.
She began going through all of her emotions, first she felt heartbreak, then it turned to anger, "how could they let Saka take that penalty", she shouted across the room to whom ever was listening, next she felt pride, "we did so well to get this far! The lads were amazing", she boasted. It was a hard evening for all England fans.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_A few months had passed since the Euros and everyone was back to normal, today Ellie was at her desk waiting on your friend Jessica to arrive, the pair were receptionist for a large delivery company.
Jessica brought the coffees every morning, it was a ritual the girls kept to, Jessica did breakfast and Ellie went for lunch, before long she came running through the doors calling Ellie's name and squealing like a school girl, Ellie flew up from her chair in anticipation of the obviously amazing news she had to share, "what is it Jess!", she let out, feeling very excited, knowing her friend as well as she did it must be amazing news for her to react like this, "I have an invite for you!", Ellie looked at her in utter confusion with a little glimmer of hope settling in her stomach as the thought of Jamie proposing to her came to mind, "an invite? Where to?", she questioned her friend, "you are not going to believe this!, so obviously you know Jamie's cousin is Kalvin Phillips right?" She asked her, although she knew the answer!, "how could I forget you have a legend in your family!", Ellie replied with a chuckle, "well he is getting married in two weeks! And because Jamie will be busy with best man duties etc Kal said I can bring a friend!", Ellie began jumping around with her friend and laughing, "no no no wait that isn't even then best part!" Jessica laughed back at her, She couldn't imagine what could be better right now.
She moved closer to Ellie and whispered "Kals work friends will be there ... including Jack Grealish!", Ellie's jaw dropped for a second as she stood staring at Jessica in shock, Jack Grealish was her all time favourite player, yes he was the sexiest man to walk planet earth but he was a master when it came to football, always taking part in a goal and just been an amazing player, Ellie couldn't believe she was going to meet THE Jack Grealish.—————————-Instagram ————————-
