We played Reading in the WSL the Madejski stadium in the last game. I played the full 90 minutes at right back. We won 1-0. Stina scored the goal.
I’ve been staying at Leah’s for the last week. She is doing ok. She has been getting around a little better than she was. We play Lyon in the Champions league group stage tomorrow. We are flying out in a couple of hours. I’m just getting the last of my stuff ready to go.
I walk into the living room Leah is on the sofa. I looked at her with a sad look. “Let me guess. You don’t want to go” Leah said
“I do, I just don’t want to leave you” I said
She said “I know. I will be fine though. My mum is going to come for the day tomorrow”
“Ok, that makes me feel a bit better. I think we are coming back on Thursday morning” I said
“Are you coming back here” Leah asked
I said “As long as you still want me here”
“Yeah, I do” Leah said
“Then I will be coming back here” I said
She smiled and gave me a hug. I pulled away and looked at the time and I said “I’ve got to go” I kissed her and said “I will call you later”
“I’ll be waiting” Leah said
I was at the airport I was talking to Beth she said “Are you ever coming home”
I said “For now no. I need to be with Leah. She still can’t get around that much. Are you missing me that much”
“What is she doing tomorrow then. Yeah I always miss you” Beth asked
“Her Mum is spending the day with her. Your a big softie” I said
Then the announcement came through for us to board our flight.
I sat next to Mana Iwabuchi on the flight. I had a nap. I hadn’t slept much the night before because Leah was in quite a bit of pain. Another reason why it was so hard to leave her this morning.
We got to the hotel and got our roommate assignments. I think my luck had just started to run out. My roommate is Jordan. We were given our room keys and told to settle in. We had a light training session in a couple of hours.
We got to the room. As we were only staying a couple of nights. I didn’t bother unpacking and neither did Jordan we both just lay on our beds for 30 minutes in silence. It wasn’t even that awkward. I think she wanted to talk to me but given what I said to her she was probably waiting for me to talk first. I was thinking to myself that I’m going to have to let this go sooner or later for everybody’s sake.
“Jord” I said
“Yeah” she said and lay on her side to look at me
“I’m sorry I’ve been so stubborn” I said, I turned and looked at her too
Jordan said “You had every right though. I know what I did was wrong. Yeah I was drunk but it’s not an excuse”
“But it is because you wouldn’t have done it sober” I said
“I wouldn’t of” she said
“I was hurt. You’re my friend. Well, I hope you still are anyway” I said
Jordan said “I am”
We both got up and hugged. I pulled away and said “I suppose we better get ready for training”
