dreams to reality

2.

I wake up from a flash, when I look around I see Beth, Katie and Caitlin in front of me. That's when I realised I still had my head on Leah's chest. I assume Leah is sleeping since they are taking pictures of us. I lift my head and they all run off. I notice leah was woken up by them running away.

"Sorry for using you as a pillow" I say with a chuckle. "Don't worry about it I was pretty comfortable" Leah said sitting up. We stayed in a comfortable silence for a while before Leah breaks it. "When's your birthday" she says out of nowhere. "In a few weeks" I say laughing, "what's so funny?" She asks turning her body directly towards me. "It was a random question" I say defending myself. "eh true, what you doing for your birthday anyway?" Leah says taking a drink of her water. "Nothing" I said slightly disappointed. "What!" Leah says nearly wakening up the whole plane. "Shhh and I know boring, I just haven't had anytime to plan anything", "oh right" Leah says with a little smirk. "What are you planning?" I say picking up my hoodie. "nothing..." Leah says trying to hide her smile, "mhm sure" I say smiling at her.

The plane ride went surprisingly really quick, it was probably because I slept most of it and talked to Leah. She's really easy to talk to, I can't believe I opened up about my dad to her, I mean I don't open up to anyone. We eventually landed and collected our bags before heading to a hotel in London. We have Chelsea in a few days, it was a bit of a bonus it was Chelsea because they would be tired from their champions league game against juventus which resulted in a 0-0 draw. The only thing is they were at home and they are again against us. I mean how lucky could you get? Anyways me and Leah sat next to each other on the bus for the whole journey. There was a lot of traffic so it took longer than expected. When we had arrived I saw I got paired with Beth which I was too disappointed about but she isn't Leah.

It was 1 o'clock in the morning and for some reason I really couldn't sleep. I didn't know what to do so I just opened up instagram and scrolled through liking most posts before getting a dm from Leah. I wonder how she's awake.

Leah: can't sleep?

Bella: nope. You?

Leah: unfortunately no

Leah: tbh I'm surprised your awake since I know how much you love your sleep 😆

Bella: I mean I'm not sleeping on a comfy pillow like Leah Williamson!

Leah: is this your way of encouraging me to come to your room?

Bella: maybe

Leah: room number?

Bella: 604.

Leah: See you soon ;)

It was only minutes before I heard a little knock at the door, I got up really quietly and made my way to unlock it. "I didn't think you would actually come" I said in a whisper before closing the door. "Why wouldn't I? I couldn't resist" Leah said making me blush as we walked past all the rooms. We got down to the private lounge area and got 2 glasses of water. "So how come you couldn't sleep?" Leah asked me sitting back on the couches. "I don't know" I said truthfully. "I'm sure somethings on your mind" Leah said, I knew I had one answer in my mind and she was sitting right in front of me. "no... not really, maybe it was just everything that happened earlier, I mean I was quite overwhelmed" I said taking a sip of my water. "I mean that was quite a lot to be fair." Leah said.

"So what about you?" I ask Leah. "Umm don't know just couldn't sleep" Leah said before looking away. "What's on your mind" I ask sitting closer to her. "You can tell me anything you know" I ask placing my hand on Leah's knee trying to comfort her, without realising. "Umm... well I haven't told anyone but me and Jordan broke up a month ago and I didn't know I think everything's hitting me right now" Leah says with a tear in her eye. I didn't even know they were in a relationship I thought they were just best friends. I pull her in for a hug.
