Rivals To Lovers

Chapter 31: Their Manager

"Match day!!!!!" I screamed running into the breakfast hall " no Olivia its too early for that" Georgia said lifting her head up from the desk " uggghhh your all really moody today arnt you" I said to everyone who was in the room, no one replied, I had an idea I was gonna make everyone wake up a little, I turned to walk out the door " where you going?" Leah said walking into the breakfast hall " to get my guitar" I said to her running off to our room, I grabbed my guitar and ran back down, everyone was still moody and tired expect less who was on her phone and when she saw me she smiled, I went up to the mini stage in the hall and grabbed the mic " hey girlies" I said as a joke trying to get people to laugh, which made a few laugh" so this morning im gonna play some music to you because well how do I say this with out sounding mean... you all look like zombies" I said which made Leah laugh as she was the only one who was actually awake, "right so what you playing for us" Rachel asked " wait and see rach" I said, I sat down on the stool and rested my guitar against my chest, I started to play 'look after you by the fray' on the guitar while I sang the lyrics, not to brag but I can sing and play the guitar very well my mum always use to say that if I didn't go pro I could also be a musician, after I had finished everyone clapped " didn't know you could play an instrument and sing that good" millie said " what can I say im a girl full of surprises" I joked, Georgia scoffed " you wish Scott, you wish" she teased and made a b line for the door when she saw me chasing after her.....

We are at the stadium just looking around the pitch before the match when I saw him " oh no " I muttered under my breath turning back around to face the little group of me, Leah, Georgia and Beth " what's wrong babe?" Leah said clearly hearing me when I said oh no " nothing lee don't worry about it" I said leaning against her, I knew she wanted to ask more but she knew I wasn't gonna give her anymore then that

Me and Leah were walking back to the changing rooms to get our kit on when I heard his voice "Scott so nice to see you again" he said from behind us " fuck sake" I said to myself before turning around and putting on a fake smile and making my way to him " what are you doing here" I said to him getting straight to the point " nice to see you as well, im manager of France" he said with a smirk " surprised you even got the job after the way you treated me, you knew nothing , calling me fat and saying ill never go pro, well look at me now, look at me now" I said walking off, I stormed into the changing room and went straight to my locker where I got changed and just sat on the bench in my locker with my head down replaying all the things he use to say to me at training or after a match, Leah came and sat next to me and put a hand on my back and rubbed it up and down " hey, are you alright" Leah said softly " why wouldn't I be " I said a little to harsh , I stood up and made my way into the bathroom where I splashed some water over my face and made my way outside to the tunnel

We just finished the game and lets say that was the worst match ever, I didn't make one pass right and couldn't even control the ball right, I was losing my head over my old manager I felt like every time I made a mistake I could hear him laugh even tho I knew that he wasn't doing that, I brain was messing around with me, I was disappointed in myself I let the whole time down just because of something that happened ages ago, luckily we got the win so at least they won't be that mad with me but they still will be mad, we were all in the changing room normally im always jumping about after the game and being the one who made it entertaining but not today I changed quicker than I every had before and sat on my phone in my locker area waiting for the bus to come so I could get on it and leave this place, no one bothered me probably because Leah told them not to, she knows I don't want to speak to anyone

The bus had finally come and I was making my way out of the changing room by myself with Leah and Beth following behind me, as I made my way out of the room my old manager was waiting outside leaning against the wall, I brushed past him and carried on walking " I was right all along, you are shit at football" he shouted at me, I turned around and started to make my way to him, how dare he say that I shouldn't be where I was today I worked my ass of to get here today, just as I was about to reach him a hand around my waits pulled me away and pulled me into their body and started to walk me away from him " watch you mouth mate, she could sit your ass down on the floor in 2 seconds" Leah shouted at him walking away with me in her arms

We got onto the bus and me and Leah made our way to the back, I pulled out my headphones and put them on resting my head against the window and closing my eyes, I held my palm out on top of my thigh silently asking Leah to hold it, which she understood and interlocked our hands, I needed her comfort right now

I never been faster to get up to my hotel room before, Leah was still downstairs making sure everyone was okay and happy and then eventually made her way up to our room, once she got into our room I ran and smashed my body against her sinking into her chest " am I fat?" I asked Leah not making eyes contact " what no of course not , you got one of the best bodies in the team" she said pulling out of the hug and lifting my top up just showing my abs and running her hand across the lines " I love your body, its perfect" Leah said not taking her eyes of her chest, I pulled her back into a hug and said " well why does he say that to me?" I asked confused " who darling, who calls you fat?" Leah asked softly lifting my chin, I was about to say their manager when he sent a messages saying " if you tell anyone I will share the photo of you".....
