you - jack grealish

022

Hailey arrives at Wembley, of course, wearing the shirt she stole off Declan.

One of the best things about having a footballer brother is the fact she gets shirts with her own last name on.

There's a while before the boys will be on the pitch, so she knows they'll all be in the changing room.

She came this early on purpose, she got her permission from Southgate so she knocks on the door before walking in. Wanting to avoid seeing any of the boys naked.

"Hailey!" They call out, all running up to greet her and bringing her into a large group hug, the entire team crowding around the girl.

"Hey guys." She laughs, getting herself out of the group. "How're you feeling?"

They all speak at the same time, all of their words mushing together.

"It doesn't get any easier to understand you!" Hailey calls out, attempting to speak over their comments.

Jack sits next to her, resting his head on the wall behind him.

"You alright?"

"I'm nervous, Hailey."

She pulls his head onto her shoulder, kissing his temple.

"You'll do great."

"Hailey, you're coming to Mykonos, right?" Ben asks her, now sitting on the other side of her.

"Of course i am. Wait are you playing today?"

"Nah, i'm not. I'll keep you company."

"Thanks, Benjamin."

"Watch it." He warns, but a smile still present on his face.

They all talk amongst themselves, Hailey leaving after giving them all a final pep talk, her and Ben going into the stadium, taking their seats.

Ben and Hailey sit still in the crowd, but in a separated part, where it's only certain people.

They sit together, waiting for the match to start.

"So how is everything? I feel like i haven't seen you in so long."

"I know, it's been ages. But it's all great, i'm sure you know about.." She leads off, waiting for Ben to finish her sentence.

"Jack? Yes."

Hailey nods, a smile coming on her face thinking about the boy.

They continue talking, waiting for the game to start.

Both teams file onto the pitch, singing their national anthem before the game finally kicks off.

In the first two minutes, the ball travels down the pitch, Luke Shaw getting England's first goal.

Ben and Hailey stand up from their seats, joining all of the fans in cheering.

Yet, they didn't score again.

Leonardo Bonucci got Italy's first goal sixty-seven minutes in, equalising the two teams.

It didn't take a genius to figure out the game wasn't the fairest.

It shocked the entire stadium when Saka was dragged back, tossed on the floor for Chiellini only to receive a yellow card.

"What the fuck was that?" Ben swears, motioning to the pitch.

"I know." Hailey shakes her head.

The game goes onto penalties, tension seriously rising in the stadium.
