I am so sorry that I can't make it tonight Lex x

Lexie💗
Dad don't worry about it. There will be other concerts, the World Cup is more important. Anyway Liv said that she will record it and send it to you x

Dad🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Thank you for understanding. Tell Liv thank you! Good luck, go and smash it x

I smiled at the text. I was a bit gutted dad couldn't watch me sing live but I do understand that he has got to focus on the game.

I got to the arena and my best friend Liv was already there. She has been with me through everything, she's the one friend I trust.

I had just done soundcheck and it was pretty good. I couldn't wait to go out there and perform.

I was in the changing room with Liv. I was on my phone and I got a notification that Mason had followed me and then liked my picture on Instagram. It felt pretty good to have such a good looking footballer follow me.

"No way has THE Mason Mount followed you on insta! I'm so jealous." She nearly squealed. "It's no big deal. Anyway the other boys have followed me too." I replied. "I've said all along that you and Mason would be a good match." Liv winked. I rolled my eyes.

Liv knew I've always thought Mason was good looking but like dad said he doesn't want any of the England boys to date me.

I was now performing live and the crowd is loving it. The crowd were giving me such positive vibes which made me perform a lot better.

As I was singing one of my songs I caught my dad's eye. I couldn't believe it. There he was in the crowd singing and dancing along to one of my songs with the full England team. I beamed. It made my entire day.

As I was singing, I made eye contact with Mason who was singing. I winked at him and carried on with the performance. Okay it's pretty amazing to me that they know the lyrics to my songs.

After the show I went backstage and there they all were.

"Lexie!" All of the team screamed and then hugged me. "You were insane." Jack beamed. "I agree. You killed it." Dad hugged me. "Thank you. I can't believe you are all here. I thought you were at training." I said in disbelief. "We lied. Gareth wanted to see you so we all agreed to come along and support you." Tyrone explained.

A wave of happiness washed over me and I started to tear up.

"Oh Lex don't cry." Dad hugged me again. "Sorry. I just forget what it's like to have people who support me." I spoke softly. "You'll always have us Lexie." Declan spoke. "Sorry you're stuck with us forever." Mason chuckled. "You boys are the best."

Tonight has been the best night ever. I know I have a couple of more shows to do and I hope that they are just as good as tonight's.

Mason POV
Okay wow! Lexie is insanely talented. Her singing and performance was incredible. I was shocked at her football skills, it was kind of hot what she did, it definitely impressed me. The way she got the ball of me and scored was amazing.

Is there anything this girl can't do?

Why am I crushing on a girl who has a boyfriend? She wouldn't like me like that anyway.
