Beth:,,It's party time!!!!"
everyone in the room cheered for beth's comment
except me...
to be honest i don't like parties i'm only there because i like the company there
Katie:"okay before the party starts let's play a little game"
Elena:,,I'm out-"
before I could finish my sentence and finally get out of here
A hand grabbed my arm and pulled me back onto the sofa
Leah:"stay here come on this will be fun"
Leah oh god I knew she could stop me
How should I explain that, I don't like leah like that or anything...okay that was a lie.
doesn't matter but we definitely look at each other for too long to just being "friends".
Katie: "Uhhhh listen to your girlfriend" always those stupid comments from katie
Elena: "Can you please stop that" I answered while sitting down next to leah again
Katie:"okay how about truth or dare?"
Elena: "Boringgggg" I replied
Beth:"Do you have a better idea?"
Elena:"Yeah, how about just go and have fun?"
Beth:,,Just so you're cheating on your girlfriend again and making out with half the club here, definitely no"
Before I could say anything, someone else interrupted me
Leah: "I think the idea is really good"
of course, thank you Leah for your commitment
Katie:"Right....listen to your girlfriend Elena"
I've gotten used to it and just ignore it
Beth:,,or we play Never have i ever "
Katie:"yeah okay"
great thank you Katie, thank you Beth.
Beth:"Okay I'll start"
Beth:"I've never had a one night stand"
Viv:"wait...wait how unfair is it we all have alcohol in our cups except elena she can just drink water"
Katie:"It doesn't matter buddy drink"
I looked around the room and no one was drinking
Beth:"come on elena you had"
oh no don't do that To me man.
I didn't Drunk.
"I've never-" Katie was about to finish her sentence when Leah jumped in
Leah:"okay lets Just party"
Finally
after 30 minutes i felt a hand touch my shoulder
when I turned around I saw none other than Leah
Leah:"We want to go now" she said completely pissed off
Elena:,,not my problem"
just as I was about to turn around to some women, I felt a Hand grabbing mine.
Leah: "Did you forget Elena, we live together I, Beth, Katie, YOU, viv?"
Elena:"Can't Katie drive?"
Leah: "She's drunk just like Beth"
Elena:"Then you drive"
Leah:"Come on"
she pulled me by my hand until we were in front of the car
Elena:"What was that for now?"
Leah:"For being a complete asshole"
Elena:"Moody Williamson on a Friday"
I just got in the car and drove off
Leah was sitting next to me and literally all three were sleeping in the back.
Elena:"So how did you like the party?"
Leah:,,Are you serious?"
Elena:"Yes?"
Leah:,,terrible"
Then there was another 3 minutes of silence
Leah:"Why are you like that?"
what does she want from me
Elena:"Like what?"
I asked laughing
Leah:"Like that, you weren't such an asshole back then"
Elena:"don't know"
Leah:"come on you know exectly what i mean... do you want me to remind you that we were almost togheter?"
Elena:"almost...leah...we were almost together, the past isn't a past for nothing"
Leah:"And that really doesn't mean anything to you anymore?"
she said looking over at me
those ocean eyes man
Elena:,,okay different question should we wake them?"
I just can't tell her the truth, and maybe that's for the best.
I got out of the car and woke up Katie,viv and Beth.
When we finally managed to get them both up into their beds.
I finally decided to go to bed too.
Even though I knew I couldn't sleep.
"I'm out....good night Williamson"
"night"
wow how loving
sometime around 4 a.m. i finally ended the war between my head and my heart and fell asleep.
*8 am
beep beep
what the hell
how i hated the sound of my phone alarm.
i got up and put on a pair of shorts, my gray sweater and my beloved adilettes on
I opened the door while Leah and Beth were talking about something.
i rubbed my tired eyes and got myself a glass of water.
Beth:,,Good morning?"
Elena:"Morning,"
I murmured in a hoarse voice
i went back to my room and watched tik tok like every morningBeth's POV:
Leah: ,,Hey Good morning"
Beth:"Hey Leah"
Leah:"Where's Elena?"
Beth:"I guess sleeping,"
I said, laughing
Beth:"Probably had a long night yesterday with her lady from the club, didn't she?"
I ask
There was silence
Beth:"leah?"
Leah: "yes no absolutely no idea ask her"
Beth:"Are you still in love with her?"
It just had to come out im sorry.
Leah:,,What?"
she said laughing
Beth:,,Are you still in love with her?"
I said each word slowly
Leah: ,,mate...what if she doesn't sleep idiot"
Beth:"She does I know her"
Leah: "oh ok then"
Beth: "Soooo?"
Leah:,,so what?"
Beth:"Seriously, I asked you if you're still in love with her"
Leah: ,,Yes No"
Beth:,,Yes or no?"
Leah: "I don't know, she acts like a complete idiot around me but I can't stop"
Beth:"Stop what?"
Leah:,,To like her"
Beth: "Did you tell her?"
Leah: "No, of course not, how should I even have a 1% chance with her, she can have anyone"
Beth:"well she can not only have everyone she has everyone haha"
Leah:"haha very funny beth"
I said ironically
Beth:"So what are you going to do about it?"
Leah: "Nothing I should do, I love her in the dark"
Beth:,,Yes but-"
beep beep
Beth: "Speaking of the devil, she should come out in exactly 3 minutes"Elena's pov
Beth: "Elena we have to go"
ughhhh what does beth want from me again?
Beth:"ELENA"
I opened the door for you, but it wasn't you standing in front of me, it was Leah.
40 cm, that's all there was between us.
And that eye contact ughhhh.
My butterflies are immortal for you.
After 5 seconds of intense eye contact I had to get out.
Elena:"What do you want mate?"
Leah: "I wanted...I wanted to tell you that we have to go"
Elena:,,to where?"
Leah:"Elena we have training"
Elena:"Gods sake fuck you're right"
I quickly ran to my closet and packed my bag
before i left the apartment i looked at myself in the mirror again while beth, leah, viv and katie waited at the door and watched me
Beth:"Who do you want to cheat on your girlfriend with today?"
Beth fucking mead
i just laughed
Viv:"Wait which girlfriend?"
Beth:"Leah"
Elena:"Don't worry viv for me there is only you"
I said wink
Katie:"and Jana "
Leah:"wait who is jana ?"
Elena:"She's nobody-"
Katie:"She's the new addition and Elena has had her on her radar for 2 years"
Katie shut up for once.
Leah: "I thought you weren't dating"
Live.Laugh.Love gossip.
Elena:"I think you were wrong" I said laughing as I walked past all four and got into the car.In the changing room
my seat on the left is occupied by katie while the one on my right is vacant for the newcomer
Leah is sitting in front of me
and right next to her beth
When everyone was ready, we went to the pitch together
There she stood with Jonas.
my future distraction from leah.
Jonas. "Good morning girls, I would like to introduce you to our newcomer Jana Fernández, would someone please give Jana a little tour afterwards?"
everyone is silent so I'm happy to take the chance.
Elena:,,I will"
Jonas: ,,great thanks Elena"
we played a little training game
i had so much fun and dribbled through half the team.
I was on Leah's team against jana
She's a defender and I'm an attacker, so we deal with each other fairly often
Leah passed the ball to me, I took it and dribbled past Jana and shot into the corner
boom man i am the best
I smiled at Jana and kept eye contact
she stood there rigidLeah's Pov
why me?
Why do I always fall in love with the ones who don't love me back
I can see how she look at her
what a sight for sore eyes
why are you giving me so many different signals?
You can't make someone love you by giving
them more of what they already don't appreciate
i'm happy when she's happy
but is she really happy?Elena's pov
Jonas:"okay that's enough for today ladies, good evening"
i was making my way to the dressing room with leah, beth, viv and katie when i saw jana running in front
Katie:"Well, so far it's going quite well with your future one"
Elena:"Shut up Katie"
I said smiling
Viv:"omg you are so in love"
Katie:"She's never smiled at anyone"
Beth:"Are you sure Elena?"
beth please leave it
Elena:"mmmm?"
was all i could say
Beth:"How was it with blondie?"
our nickname for leah
Elena:,,Leave it"
I said looking down awkwardly while Leah walked next to me
Elena:"Bye"
was all I said and then I called jana loudly until she turned around and smiled
Elena:"I'll show you where the cabins are"
she just nodded
on the way to the cabins she told me a lot about barcelona while i showed her a bit of the area
we were in the cabin a bit later and only leah and beth were inside because they were waiting for me
Leah:"Can we go?"
Elena:"yes you can"
Beth:"What about you, are you going back?"
Elena:"I will walk "
Jana:"You don't have to you know"
Elena:"I don't have to, but I want to"
Beth: "okay whatever see you then"
said beth while she left the cabin with leahBeths Pov
I could see her facial expression
she didn't look that happy
I've known Leah for a while now and to be honest I can already read her face
we walked down the aisle in complete silence
Beth: ,,What's wrong?"
I asked her
Leah:"nothing"
we drove the whole car ride in silence
I thought silence was silent but this kind of silence was so loud
and so uncomfortableElenas pov
we talked for 2 hours and it felt so right at times but somehow so wrong at the same time.
Elena"I should start walking now before I get stolen or something haha"
Jana:"You want to walk, it's a joke, get in I'll drive"
Elena:"that's really nice but i live across town you know"
Jana:"One more reason to drive you"
Elena:,,Right"Elena:"You can sleep by me if you want, I can sleep on the couch"
Jana:"What no, no way"
Elena:"No big deal "
we walked upstairs and opened the door just to see beth and katie
we said hello to beth and katie
Elena:"Where's my ham sandwich buddy?"
Beth:"in her room I think"
Elena:"Oh okay, see you tomorrow"
I showed her my room and gave her a t-shirt from me
Elena:"If you need anything else I'm a door away"
I said to her and she nodded
Jana:"See you tomorrow, good night"
Elena:"Good night"
