I Only Care About You (Michael Carrick) -COMPLETED-

Chapter 4.

I left my bags with Michael and legged it to the female toilets. Luckily, there was only me in there. I ran to the closest cubicle and threw up into the toilet bowl. Down on my knees with the door locked, I threw up everything I’d eaten in the past 24 hours. My shaking hand reached out for the toilet roll. I pulled a wad off and wiped my mouth with it. I slumped against the side of cubicle wall in a shivering ball with tears streaming down my face.

Suddenly, I heard the door open.

‘’Alice! Alice are you in here!’’ It was Stacey, Ryan Giggs’ wife.

‘’mhmm’’ I weakly mumbled. She knocked on the door

‘’let me in please Alice, Michael is worried sick about you’’. I sighed and unlocked the door. She bent down next to me and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

‘’what’s up Als?’’ she said in a hushed tone

‘’I don’t know, I just suddenly felt really…sick’’ I replied

‘’does it happen often?’’

‘’not really, only when I get nervous’’. Then it clicked, I got sick when I was nervous and I was nervous about meeting the Madrid players.

‘’what’s worrying you chicken?’’

‘’I think I know what it is, I’m nervous about meeting the Real players’’ I looked up to her

‘’oh sweetie, don’t worry about it. They’re all big softies really! And why would you be nervous, you beautiful, smart, funny, they’ll all love you!’’ she enveloped me in a hug

‘’thank you Stace’’. She smiled and helped me up.

‘’Don’t mention it, Michael was really worried about you when you ran away like that, you better go see him’’. I nodded and it all went silent when we walked back into the terminal. I glanced round till I saw Michael sat by himself facing the other way on his own. I ran over to him and gave him a massive hug.

‘’what happened?’’ he whispered into my hair

‘’I got nervous, you know what happens when I get nervous Michael’’ I said, not letting go of him

‘’I know, I got really worried Als’’

‘’I’m happy you care about me but I’m fine Michael, honest’’ we pulled apart and smiled at each other before he gave me another hug again.

‘’sorry to kill the moment but we need to get through security and passports so…’’ Wayne said pointing at his watch with a smug look on his face.

‘’yeah, we should go’’ I said, grabbing my case with one hand and fixing my hair with the other.

We followed the crowd of high-visibility jackets surrounding us towards the check in.

I showed my passport and the lady at the desk took my case off me, tagged it and off it went to be put on the plane.

I waited at the side for Michael to get his done and then he came to join me.

There was only one other flight going at the same time as us and that was a flight to Italy which was full of old people so it was pretty empty to say the least.

‘’alright everyone, we’ve got 2 hours before boarding so knock yourselves out, not literally so no alcohol, you know the score, we’ll meet at the gate in 2 hours sharp’’ Sir Alex announced to everyone. We all mumbled a ‘Yes Sir Alex’ before he nodded and went off with the coach and assistant manager.
