Long time no see (Keira Walsh)

Having a crush on someone and moving away from them to pursue your career hurts. It hurts a lot. Especially when you're not even in the same national team and have absolutely no time to see each other. Well that's exactly what happened to me and Keira.

"Yes Viv, I packed everything."

"And-"

"Yes, I have my ticket."

"What about-"

"Yes, my phone is charged."

"But-"

"Viv, for god's sake, I'm telling you. I. Have. Everything."

"Ok I'll trust you then." My older sister, Vivianne Miedema, was standing in front of me and was supposed to calm me down before my two hour flight. But right now, I felt like she was the one moving from London to Barcelona. "Good to know that you didn't do that 'til now." I could tell that she was about to say something so I just rushed to her and engulfed her in the biggest hug. She hugged me back and I just enjoyed her comfort. I wasn't gonna be able to feel her warmth in the next months so I had to make the best of it. I only separated from her when I heard the last announcement for my flight. "I have to go now."

"I know y/n, I know."

"Don't you dare start crying Viv. I'll start too and then I won't stop."

"Ok ok I'm trying my best." She laughed but I could see that me moving away from her after 23 years together hurt her. She tried to hide it but that didn't work for me. "I love you and I'll miss you a lot."

"I love you too y/n. Text me when you land, yeah?"

"Will do." I grabbed my backpack and made my way to my gate. I turned around one last time and blew my sister a kiss. She smiled and waved. Now I had to look forward. I was moving to Barcelona and I was one day away from signing my contract with one of the best clubs in the world. I should be a bit more excited. The best part was that I would finally see Keira again. After my transfer from Manchester City to Arsenal 3 years ago, I was heartbroken. I had to leave my best friend Lucy and Keira behind. But now that I only had to wait a few more hours until I saw them again, the excitement was present in my whole body. I got into the plane and put my earphones in. Two hours and I would finally be able to hug Lucy again. She was the one picking me up from the airport and basically the only that knew that I was the new signing.

***

After two hours, we finally landed in Barcelona. The airport was huge and because of my non existent Spanish knowledge I had absolutely no idea where to go. Luckily I spotted Lucy waiting for me in the crowd. "Luce!" I ran to her and threw myself in her arms. "There you are! I missed you!"

"I missed you too! Kei doesn't know that I'm coming, does she?"

"No the 'love of your life' does not know that you're transferring to her club. If she did, she would probably not be able to train right now."

I playfully hit her arm when she called Keira the 'love of my life'. I mean I've had a crush on her for forever now but she didn't like me back. She saw me as a best friend and that was it. She had never made any move to show me that she wanted more than friendship so I accepted it. The only one that didn't accept that was Lucy. She just continued to ship us and it was a bit annoying by now. "Ok let's go surprise her! I can't wait to see her reaction." She did not stop talking until we reached the stadium where they trained. We got out of her car and she showed me the way to the changing rooms. "They should be finished by now. Just to warn you, they all now who you are. Not just because you're a pretty famous player but Keira may or may not showed a lot of your pics together. She's really proud of you y'know?"

"I know. But I'm even prouder of her. I mean she got here first so-"

"No I mean she's proud of your whatever-kind-of-relationship that is. She loves you."

"She loves me. But she's not in love with me. And I'm trying to accept that, you should try that too." I grinned at her and received a light hit on my shoulder in return. "Ok she shouldn't immediately see us when we enter because her locker is across the room and normally her back is turned to the door." I nodded. I would finally see her again. The nervousness that I tried to ignore this whole time made its way to the surface. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. She was gonna be happy to see me, everything was gonna be alright. Lucy opened the door and I instantly heard Keira's voice. I could hear her laughing and it made my heart flutter. As I entered behind Lucy, more and more conversations stopped and I could feel a lot of the players staring at me. I signaled them to be quiet and waited for Keira to notice that I was here. Soon enough, she realized that no one was talking and turned around. "Why is no one-" She stopped talking mid sentence, her jaw dropped and her eyes widened. "Oh my god!" She ran towards me and jumped in my open arms. "What are you doing here? Don't you have training today? For how long are you visiting? Why didn't you tell me? When did you arrive-"

"Stop it Kei. You're cute when you're rambling but stop." She did exactly that and just looked at me. I could see tears forming in her eyes and she quickly hid her face in the crook of my neck. "Hey don't cry Keira, I'm here now." I stroke her hair and she mumbled a reply I couldn't quite understand. 

"What?"

She lifted her head and looked at me. The excitement in her face was replaced by sadness and I couldn't figure out why. "But you're gonna leave in a few days. I don't want you to leave again." She said, her embrace tightening. "Well I have good news for you then. I'm staying."

"What?" She checked for any signs of irony in my eyes but didn't find any. "What do you mean 'you're staying'? You have to go back and train for the upcoming season."

"Yeah that's why I'm staying." I had a cheeky grin on my face and that was when she understood. "No no no no." She repeated the word but her voice got quieter and quieter until she was completely silent. 

"You're the new teammate? Ah!" Her face lit up and she hugged me again only this time, she knew that I was staying. "I'm your new teammate. I'm starting training in two days but first, I have to sign the contract tomorrow and announce it on social media. After that, it's official."

"You have no idea how glad I am that you're transferring here! I'm so excited to show you everything and introduce you to the rest and-"

"Yeah the 'rest' you just mentioned is standing right behind you Keira." A woman with a spanish accent spoke up. She walked towards me and stretched out her hand for me to shake which I did. This broke our hug but Keira's hand still rested on my waist, refusing to let me go again. "I'm Alexia, the captain. I'm guessing you're the y/n she always talks about?"

"Yes that's me. I'm thrilled to play with you guys." I said with a big smile. I tried to hide it but I was just to big of a fan. "That's exactly what I want to hear. I can't wait to see if you're really as good as everyone says you are."

"Well I hope I'll live up to your expectations."
