"Are you worried?" Alexa whispered as she lay her head on Jacks shoulder, whilst he played with her hair at the back of them moving bus, she knew it was risky sitting next to him, in this position, but when he asked her, with his big brown eyes and the puppy pout, she couldn't say no. "I'm not worried, I'm nervous deffo, but I think we've got this" Jack whispered, as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head. "Just like we've got this" Jack mumbled, as his hand found hers, holding to play with her fingers, something Alexa had noticed recently was something he did when he was nervous, but she found it cute, she found it cute that although he come across as some big football player without feelings, she knew she got to see the real Jack, that she got all of him, and she would forever be thankful that she took the chance to find out what he was really about.

Alexa sat in the family room, her knees hugged up to her chest, as she rested her head on her knees, her phone open on the latest article that had been written about her and Jack, and how she was home wrecker, a mess, how she was only after Jack for the money, as she let another tear fall down her face.
"I don't want this life Mase" Alexa whispered as she pulled my legs up further, resting her knees against her neck, as she buried her head into her legs. Mason wrapping his large arms around her body from behind like he used to do when they was kids, letting Alexa's body fall into his chest, just cuddling him and letting the room fall silent.
"What do you mean Lex?" Mason whispered, his question ringing around her ears. "I didn't want to be followed from place to place, a camera being shoved in my face every time I smile" Alexa whispers, the tears threatening to continue to fall from her eyes. "It comes with the name" Mason chuckled, as Alexa rolled her eyes at him, he never was one for the emotional advice.
"You get used to it" he whispers, as Alexa shakes her head. "I don't want to get used to it" Alexa whispered as he sighs, playing with her hair. "You've had what feels a life time to get used to this, I feel like I don't need it, I'm more than happy with my little life and business" Alexa whispered, as another tear falls, and the door creaks open, but Alexa didn't need to look up to see who it was, the smell of his aftershave engulfed her nostrils and she somewhat almost already felt relaxed.

His footsteps walk over the laminate flooring, and the sofa moves slightly to signal that he had sat down next to her, his arms wrapping around her, like she needed to be bubble wrapped and protected from the world.
"Babe, I've got you" Jack whispers, as he presses a soft kiss to the side of her temple and pulls her into his body, Alexa's own body relaxing. "No ones gonna hurt ya" he whispers, as Alexa snuggled up into his chest, just wishing the world would go away for a moment.

"I'll leave you guys too it, I'll be getting ready if you need me" Mason whispered, as Jack nodded his head, mumbling a thank you, before Mason left the room, letting Jack and Alexa sit in a comfortable silence, Jacks lips pressing tender kisses to her head, holding her close to him, as he whispered how he wasn't leaving her, not now, not ever.

"We should probably head down, you need to get dressed, Southgate won't be happy if you're not ready" Alexa whispered, as she turned to face Jack, Jack holding her cheek as he pressed his lips to hers softly. "Football can wait, ya need me" Jack whispered, as Alexa shook her head. "Football can't wait, you're needed" Alexa whispered, as she looked at the door and saw Mason and Declan smiling at them both from the doorway, a warmth filling her chest that Mason finally got to see that this meant something to Alexa, that Jack meant something to Alexa. "Are ya coming then doll?" Jack whispered, as he stood up, holding his hand out for Alexa to take, as she smiled at him, taking his hand as Jack moved their fingers together.
"Ready to win the final then boys?" Alexa smiled, as the three males nodded their head laughing.
"Make me proud" Alexa whispered, as Jack nodded his head. "I'll always try to make ya proud" Jack mumbled, as he wrapped his arms around Alexa, holding her close to him, before he let her go, watching as she walked towards the dugout, being given special seats for the final, next to the sub bench, with her trust camera, to take shots of the final moment when England would lift the trophy, the whole of Wembley screaming their names and cheering.

But nothing prepared Alexa as she stood watching them take the penalties, after ninety minutes of football, to an extra thirty minutes, to five penalties each, or however long it took.
Alexa felt the nerves eating up at her, sighing to herself as she watched each shot land in the back of the net for each team, until Jorginho missed, the crowd going wild.
England had won the Euros.

"You did it!" Alexa screamed, as Mason ran at her, hugging her close to him, as the tears rolled down both of their faces, a moment they had both ever dreamed about happening panning out in front of their eyes.
"Can I borrow Lexi?" Jack whispered, as Mason pulled away from his sister, nodding his head, as Declan come to hug Mason.

"Do ya trust me?" Jack mumbled, as he brushed his hand against her cheek, looking into her beautiful brown eyes, as Alexa nodded her head. "I trust you Jack" Alexa whispered, as Jack placed his lips against Alexa's, holding her waist, as the team around them clapped them both, chanting their names.
"I love you Alexa Mount" Jack mumbled, as Alexa felt her chest grow tight, a warm feeling erupting in her stomach.
"I love you too, Jack Grealish" Alexa smiled, as he leant down, kissing her all over again.
