Leah Williamson: The Bond.

Part 9: Falling For The Wrong Person And A Sore Head

Jordan and I sat talking for what seemed ages. I enjoyed talking to her. Conversation flowed easily and it was natural. This confused me a lot. I knew I liked Leah, but was I jealous she was with Jordan? Do I like Jordan? I decided to not think about these weird feelings. Playing for England was more important right now. I'm not letting myself get distracted over girls. I never have done that before, and I definitely won't start now.

I checked my watch for the time. 7:30am. I headed back up to the room for some alone time before training starts. Beth was still in bed, scrolling through her phone.

"Where were you Abs?"

I sat down on my bed while talking to Beth.

"I went down for food at 7. I couldn't get back to sleep. Jordan was down there."

"How did that go?"

I smiled at Beth.

"Really well actually. She's easy to talk to. Weirdly easy to be honest."

Beth looked at me, with a confused look appearing on her face.

"You don't.. like her do you?"

"It's all confusing Beth but i'm ignoring it all for now."

Beth got up to go down for food. I finally had my alone time. Every since I was young, even though I was so close to my sister, I loved being by myself. There was something so calming. I didn't mind it one bit.

It was time for training. I was dreading seeing Leah. I think it's worse because she's the captain. She could've been easily avoided but no. I just had to work around it.

We did passing drills to begin with, where I was paired with Beth. I could see out of the corner of my eye Jordan was looking at me. I ignored this. It could be because of anything. Literally anything at all. We did a few more drills before moving into a 11 v 11. I loved playing matches. It was the most enjoyable thing for me. I had Jordan, Beth and Ella on my team, so I felt so comfortable. Keira passed the ball through to me before I took a shot. I watched it ricochet off the back of the net. I felt a hand slip down my back.

"Unreal goal. You should teach me a few things."

I turned round to see Jordan. I gave her a quick hug before jogging off. My heart was beating ridiculously fast. Why though? Surely I'm not jealous of Leah because she had Jordan, not me. My feelings and thoughts were quickly pushed aside as we reset. Beth crossed me a high ball, as I came crashing to the ground. My head was pounding from being banged off the ground. Leah was standing over me. I knew she did that out of anger.

"Leah that was too far. Keep it gentle."
Jordan said. I was confused. Why was she sticking up for me?

"If she can't keep up all she has to do is say. We have plenty waiting to get back into the squad."

Jordan helped me up. I felt tears come into my eyes. That hurt. A lot.

"Ignore her." Jordan said, showing me a little smile , "She's just mad because your scoring. Don't take it to heart."

I jogged it off, the head ache soon disappearing. This whistle blew and we had won 3-1. This felt great. Especially because Leah lost. We all shook hands and exchanged a few laughs. I felt someone hug me from behind.

"You played well there Abby. Really well."

Jordan had her hands round my waist, her head resting on my shoulder.

"Thanks Jords. I shouldn't really have let words affect me so much."

Jordan spun me round so we were face to face.

"Don't be silly now. We all do that sometimes. Just know they were stupid, stupid words. They weren't even remotely even true."

"Thank you Jords. Your really sweet when you wanna be."

Jordan gave me a little tickle, which made me chase after her. I stopped once I saw Beth looking and went over to see her.

"What's up Mead? What's with the staring?"

"You and Jordan seem close. Is there feelings there?"

I smiled at Jordan, then looking back over to Beth.

"You know I wouldn't tell you that yet. Not until I know for sure."

Beth gave me a nudge before walking back inside. I followed her closely behind. I was having a small bit of alone time before going into the changing rooms. I didn't want to face Leah. What was her problem? Why was she so jealous?

I quickly got my boots off before heading back to the room. I showered back upstairs, avoiding any weird eye contact with certain people. I head a knock at the door. 'Beth's forgotten her key again. I need to keep reminding her.' I thought to myself, not knowing I was wrong. I opened the door to a surprising face.

"Weren't expecting me we're you? Can I come in?"

*If yous don't like the idea of abby and jordan, i've another story for leah. I love this idea and can't wait to see where it goes!!*
