"So what does that mean exactly?" Lauren mumbled, as she continued to poor the glasses of wine, keeping them topped up as the girls all sat and chattered to each other. "I don't even know, I can't work out if I'm being dropped or replaced anymore" Lacey muttered, as she took a sip of the wine, and then rubbed her hand against her temple, trying to remove the headache that she had been given. "Have you spoke to anyone about it?" Lauren questioned as Lacey shook her head. "I don't see the point right now, but I'm having a joint show with her tomorrow, so I'm ecstatic about that, obviously" Lacey mumbled, the sarcasm dripping from her tone of voice. "I'm sure everything will work out as it's supposed to" Sasha whispered, as she placed her hand on Lacey's thigh in a reassuring way. "I mean, look at how many model scouts i went through to get where i wanted to get?" Sasha reminded her, as Lacey nodded her head. "Sash's right, i mean, it's not like your name is dying out, you're high in demand at the moment, your song's are not going to just slip away" Ellie smiled at Lacey, as Lacey nodded her head, smiling at her friends, if there was anything she was certain of, it was that these three people always had her back, no matter what, and she would always have the people she needed the most around her and fighting her corner. "Guys it's starting" Ellie whispered, as the girls turned their attention to the TV screen, seeing the boys in their white kit walking out on to the field, they wasn't able to go and watch in person this time around, but all the girls sat in their boyfriend's numbers, Lacey wearing her Mount shirt, but stating that it was because it was the only one she had. "Did anyone look at the line up before hand?" Sasha questioned, as she turned up the sound on the TV, watching as she saw the team walk from the tunnel to the pitch, the crowd in the stadium roaring with the buzz of the World Cup Final, the first time in a long time that England had been playing in it, only making the semi-finals the last time it was played, and the England boys were about to make history, the whole of the UK backing them, knowing that their boys in white was going to make them proud.
"I see Ben" Ellie whispered, a smile on her face as the TV camera's showed Ben's face, singing the national anthem with everything he had to give, as the camera followed down the line, it come to Jack, who was singing again, his brummie accent coming down the camera, his eye focused in front of him, mentally preparing himself for what was to come. "C'mon babe" Sasha whispered, as she held her hands together, praying silently that he would be okay in this match, and that he would play to the best of his ability. "He looks so tired" Lauren whispered, as the camera panned to Declan, who was also singing, the emotion on his face, he did look tired, but he looked blessed to be in the starting line up more than anything, as Lacey held her breath, before the camera panned to Mason, who was smiling, singing and looking ahead of the camera, Lacey breathing out. "C'mon Masey" Lacey whispered, as the girls all smiled at Lacey's whisper, knowing how proud she was of him despite everything.

"I dont know if i can watch" Sasha mumbled, as the whistle for extra time blew, a whole one hundred and twenty six minutes being played, the scoreboard showing two nil to both teams, as the referee indicated it was now time for the knock out penalties, with only one team being crowned winners of the World Cup. "It's going to be close, i can feel it" Lauren whispered, as she continued to pour the wine into the empty glasses, looking around the room, as all of their eyes closed onto the TV screen, watching as Southgate circled in the team, pointing and talking to each one. "Who do you think his choosing this time around" Lacey whispered, as she remembered the Euro's final, and how that had panned out, and left the UK feeling miserable after a rubbish year that they had, had. "I honestly don't know, i'd need to watch Jack if he did take one, but i honestly dont think my heart could take much more" Sasha whispered, thinking back to not so long back into the game where they had tried to take Jack out, two on one, Jack flying into the air, doing a dramatic stance on the ground, holding his knee, thinking that his time was out already. "It's Kane first" Ellie whispered, as the girls watched Harry Kane knock one straight into the back of the net, cheering as the crowd went wild, the opposing team stepping up to the mark, watching as they too, shot it into the back on the net. "Maguire, c'mon break that camera like last time" Lauren muttered, as Lacey laughed at her friend, loving how into the game they both got, whilst Sasha sat with her fingers over her eyes, peaking every so often. "YESS!" Lacey shouted, Ellie laughing as she caught her reaction on camera, posting it to her story. The opposing team, once again took the mark, hitting the same place Maguire had done, Lacey rolling her eyes. "Are they copying our tactics or something?" Lacey mumbled, as she watched as Mason was next to take the spot, her heart stopping momentarily, breathing in and out as he was on the screen. "C'mon Mase" Lacey whispered, as she held her hand to her mouth, watching as he kicked the ball, flying past the keeper and into the top bins on the right. "C'mon!" You heard Mason shout as the crowd erupted, the opposing team copying the same interaction Mason had not long done. "Jack, oh god, no i cant watch" Sasha mumbled, as Lacey watched for them all, watching as it slipped past the keepers fingertips, going straight over his head and down the middle of the goal. "Yes, we've got this, c'mon" Lacey smiled, as the opposing team's was caught by Pickford, the penalties being at four, three to England, they just needed to get this one in to win. "C'mon Foden, you've got this" Lacey whispered, as she watched him take a deep breath and do his run up, knocking it straight into the place Mason had, top right bins. "They've done it!" Lacey screamed, as she stood up and jumped up and down, engulfing Lauren in a hug.
