JORDAN'S POV
I fucking hate arguing with Leah, but she's the most unreasonable and stubborn person on the Earth. Apparently when she's around me she can also be bipolar, meaning that she can be fine one second and the other start a useless argument over nothing, as she has just done.
«Listen Leah, I can't take this anymore. Either you stop with this arguing over the littlest things, or I am gonna call it a day» I resonate with her, after the eighth discussion of the day. «Which one is it gonna be?»
«Fucking childish» she rolls her eyes.
«That's it, then» I angrily hiss. «I'm gonna walk out of that door and leave you here alone for a few hours, and when I come back this attitude better be gone, otherwise you can forget me sleeping in the same bed as you tonight.»
I take my phone and the house keys, then shut the door behind me and start walking away from my home, headed straight to an open pitch a few blocks from the house.
JORDAN: Can you come to the pitch?
LIA: I am out with Cait, but maybe Viv is at home.
JORDAN: Vivianne. The pitch, please.
VIVIANNE: I am on my way.
I wait around for her to come, while just stretching my legs; when she finally appears behind the corner she kicks her football to me and we start passing it around, without saying anything to each other.
Most of the time I come here to calm down after a heated argument with Leah, and then vent afterwards with some of the "chill girls", as I like to call them: they are the moms of the group or the ones, that can give out reasonable advices, so basically Lia, Vivianne, Kim and Frida.
«What today?» she finally asks after about thirty minutes of just low passes.
«What not today? She's driving me fucking crazy, mate.»
«Have you told her this time?»
«I did, and she rolled her fucking eyes!» I exclaim. «I love Leah, but this is getting ridiculous.»
Another five minutes of silence go by, before we sit on the grass and the real conversation begins.
«Has Beth ever been this way with you?»
«Sometimes... not so much» she smiles. «But they are two different people, don't ever forget that.»
«I know. I love Leah for the person she is, but sometimes she acts so irrationally that she drives me mad.»
«Maybe she's just overly irritated today.»
«Maybe... she just fails to see that there's nothing I'd love more than being cuddled up with her on the couch, but the fact that she's acting like this is making me want to stay up to train later than usual.»
We decide to practice our free kicks, so we get up and start shooting the ball. The fun ends when Vivianne looks behind me and tells me turn around, and when I do I see Leah standing on the sideline with a bouquet in her hands.
«I'm gonna go. Give me back the ball tomorrow, alright?»
Vivianne runs away and briefly greets Leah, that is still standing still, without moving an inch.
«I'm sorry, Jord.»
«Can you come closer, please?»
We sit on the cold grass and she gives me the bouquet, but weirdly stays silent.
«Can we please talk about this?» I finally gather the courage to ask, fed up with the silence.
«I didn't want to react that way.»
«What about the seven times before?»
«Look Jord, I'm sorry if I react like that. I don't actually mean to be... mean. I am usually more relaxed, it's just been hard these last times.»
«Why?»
«Can't you just get over it and accept my apologies?»
I am shocked, so I turn to her and raise my eyebrow.
«"Get over it and accept your apologies"? Are you fucking kidding me? I should know what is troubling you, because I am the one that takes all your crap when you react poorly.»
«Well, I don't want to tell you yet!»
«I am so fucking done with this.»
I get up but don't leave. Instead, I start practicing again, and let her know that she is the one that needs to leave.
LEAH'S POV
The alarm goes off at 7:30 as usual, but when I turn to my left I don't see Jordan's pretty sleepy face next to mine. I get up and head to the living room, where I see Jordan still sleeping on the couch, not so peacefully as always: she has a frown on her face, which makes me upset at myself for treating her like crap last night. At least she had cuddled with Blue during the night, so I guess she didn't feel all alone.
«Jord? You need to wake up» I whisper in her ear, slowly.
With a sudden movement she backs away from me, getting back to the same mood as last night.
«We need to talk.»
«We did that last night, didn't we?»
«Yes, but we need to talk. You asked about why I am in such a bad mood, and the answer is in this» I say, handing her a yellow envelope.
She is reluctant, but eventually takes it out of my hand and starts looking through the papers, as she gets more and more confused.
«Endometriosis?» she looks up from the pages, finally looking at me.
«Yes» I say, with a trembling voice. «During my last period I felt new strange pains and I went to get checked out. And this came up.»
«Why didn't you tell me?»
«Because it's scary.»
I am about to burst out crying, so she reaches out and takes me into the warmest hug.
«It doesn't have to be scary, baby. It'll be okay.»
«I don't like this... the symptoms are so fucking scary and the possible consequences... I might go in menopause next month, for all I know. If we want to have kids, I might not be able to bear them.»
«So what? That doesn't make you less of a woman. You're a woman, you're gorgeous, you're intelligent and you have a beautiful mind, that's all that matters. Who cares if you can have a baby or not?»
I just cuddle in her arms a little longer, and stay curled up in them until we have to start getting dressed for training.
«What about the pain? How is that?»
«The doctor said that I will be able to keep it under control with painkillers, but if the pain gets so bad that I can't even play football... then I'll be able to undergo surgery.»
«As long as you are okay, I don't care. I'll get through this with you» she reassures me. «I just wish you had told me earlier instead of getting insanely mad at me. I would have helped you.»
«I felt ashamed.»
«Do you feel the same now?»
«No.»
I rest my head on her chest to calm myself down a little, then we share a quick kiss and head out for our morning training.

I am so heartbroken for Leah... I hate ACL's I swear.
