dreams to reality

10.

It's Tuesday morning and I go out on loan tomorrow, most of my things are packed and my last game with arsenal, for now I hope, is tonight. I know I'm not starting but I'm on the bench, all of the girls now know I'm going out on loan. A lot of them are just as sad as me.

"Good luck" I said to Leah as she walked out of the tunnel, she smiled at me and thanked me, Her smile is so contagious. "Hey where's mine?" Jill said as she walked out, laughing. I say good luck and head to the dugout.

60th minute' yellow card for Katie McCabe.

80th minute' Bella on, stina off.

I got told to warm up because stina was feeling her hamstring, I didn't expect to play tonight but here I am away to go on once more. I hear cheers from the arsenal fans in the emirates, wow I didn't expect this. I jog on kissing both wrists and High fiving Jill. "Let's go bels" I hear her say, making me smile.

So many different emotions right now, I run into the crowd celebrating. Everyone is going crazy, "you superstar" Jill shouts dragging me out of the crowd. I give her a huge hug, "we did it!" I said. The last person to come up to me was none other than Leah Williamson, I ran and jumped into her arms. "I'm so proud of you bels" Leah says as we walk back for kick off.

Full time 3-2 arsenal on aggregate.

"Gal, I'm gonna miss you so much" Lisa says pulling me into a hug. "I'm gonna miss you all" I said as I got changed. Me and Jill were talking until people break through the double doors singing happy birthday. When they finished I said thanks to them all and blew out my candles. "What'd you wish for?" Jill said, "I can't tell you it won't come true" I said and winked making everyone laugh.

"So who's idea was it to embarrass me" I say giggling, they stepped to the side and pointed to Leah. I had a feeling it would be her, "happy early birthday" she says handing me a bag. I open it and see a photo of the team and a card signed by everyone. "Guys stop this is so cute" I say teary eyed. We talked for a while longer until I noticed it was 1 o'clock and I have to leave at 9 tomorrow. I said my goodbyes and picked up my bag of boots, as I left I was followed by Leah.

"Bella wait" she said causing me to turn around, "yeah?" I said placing th bag on the ground. "Are you still mad at me?" She says, "eh I don't know" I said picking up the bag again. "I don't know what I'm going to do without you. You make my day, everyday. I can't believe I won't see you" Leah says which makes me blush. "I'll be back in no time, I'll be playing you in a few weeks" I say.

"It won't be the same... I have one last thing" she says before running to her car and taking a small box out of it. She comes back over and hands it to me, "Happy birthday bels" I open it and see what looks like a fingerprint necklace, I give her a confused look. "It's your mums" she says which I didn't expect. I stand in silence staring at the necklace. Tears started to form and all I could do is pull her into my arms.

We stay in the same position for a few moments until I break it making our heads connect. "Thank you so much" I say wiping my tears away, we lean in closer. I feel Leah gently pull my neck toward her, our lips connect and it felt like all my problems went away. We both pulled away for a breath and smiled. "I missed this" leah said before giving me another kiss, "me too" I say quietly. "Am I forgiven?" Leah says which makes me smile, "no" I say with a grin. Leah pulls me in close and passionately kisses me, "what about now?" Leah says with a smirk. "maybe" I say giggling.
