Love and secrets (OC x Leah Williamson)

Chapter 15 - game face

It was game day and it was safe to say I was extremely nervous. I was pacing up and down our room when Lauren finally got bored "if you don't sit or stand still I think I will either get whip lash or a concussion." She said angrily "sorry I'm just really nervous," I said simply and sat on the edge of my bed "screw this Ik going for a walk, you wanna come?" I asked her and she gave me a silly look "with you, in this state not a chance" she said before laying back on her bard and going on her phone.

I walked out my room and saw Leah walking out of hers "hey you ok?" She questioned walking up to me "yeah just nervous, I was gonna go on a walk to calm myself down," I said "I was just about to do the same, mind If I join you?" She asked with a smile "of corse you can," I said returning the smile.

We walked around SGP and we were just talking about random things, "ok so if you were to be forced to move clubs where would you go?" Leah asked obviously knowing that I loved my club as it was my team "well the only reason I would ever leave Chelsea is if it got shut down, but in the very unlikely case of that happening I would probably go to..... errrm definitely not Arsenal." I said and was obviously being sarcastic. Leah pretended to be offended "and why would that be?" She questioned "well you see there is this one player, I don't know if you've heard of her, Leah Williamson. Yeah we just don't get on too well." I said jokingly and we both burst out laughing "yeah she does get quite annoying sometimes," Leah said as we continued to laugh.

We walked around for a while longer before we had to head in. It was an evening kick off so we had a whole day to prepare ourselves for the match. Some people were doing different match day rituals and others were just chilling out trying not to think about it. Me I was shitting myself, I didn't know what to do with myself to calm down. Eventually I decided to just watch a movie. Bad idea, I couldn't concentrate on the screen let alone sit still for two hours.

After still trying to watch the screen for another five minutes I decided to head down to the relaxation room and see if anyone was up for a game of fifa. I got down there and saw Meado playing fifa on her own, I sat down next to her "fancy an opponent?" I questioned as she paused the game "yes please it would make it a lot more fun." She said while handing me the other controller.

We played a match before Rachel walked in with Millie following close behind her, I swear they were never away from each other. "Oooo fancy a tournament?" Rachel said sitting down on the bean bag beside me "how could I say no, Millie you in?" I asked. "Why not it might kill a few minutes." She said sitting next to Meado.

The others who were in the room heard about this little tournament we were having and eventually there was at least ten people playing in a tournament. The first game was Beth vs Rachel, the first half was fairly close with no goals but early on in the second half Rachel scored a screamer from a free kick making it 1-0. The game ended with no extra goals giving Rachel an early lead in the tournament.

We kept playing for about two hours longer until the final came around it was me vs Chloe. I knew I would have to play really well to beat her as she was very good at the game. In the first twenty m'unîtes of the game it was very slow both of us just fighting for possession. Suddenly my defence slipped and she got a gap to make it 1-0. I was determined to get it even before half time.

It was the last few minutes of the second half and my player was running down the left wing as my striker got into place and my winger crossed it into the box as it connected with the strikers head and went straight in the back of the net. I stood up and did a lap of the room in celebration that we were now equal.

I went into the second half fairly confident, although Chloe had most of the position. I tackled her defence and got the ball into the box, my player connected with the ball perfectly and it went straight passed the keeper and into the back of the net.
