I groaned when my alarm went off. I pried my eyes open and turned it off, I stretched my body and when I turned around, I saw Leah looking at me with gentle eyes. "What are ya staring at?" She smiled. "You."

I chuckled and kissed her lips before getting out of bed. I didn't want to, but we had to get ready for practice.

I heard some shuffling and saw that Leah was also getting out of the bed. I opened my closet and grabbed my training kit, throwing my second of over to Leah because I knew that she didn't have her kit with her. She caught it and smiled at me. "Thank you." I smiled back at her. "Number 9 will look good on you." She chuckled. I went into the bathroom to do my morning routine and to change into the training kit. When I was done I walked back into the bedroom to see that Leah had my second kit on.

"I was right. It does look good on you." She blushed. "You can use the bathroom by the way. I will go and make us some breakfast. What do you want?" "Just a plain ham sandwich." I chuckled. "Alright."

We were now at practice. Today we had to start in the gym and then we would get to the field. It all went smoothly, Leah and I catching each other staring inbetween sets to watch the other work her muscles.

No one had said anything about Leah wearing number 9 together with me, only Viv and Daan sent me smirks while Jordan sent me a glare. I didn't think much of it and just continued to train. After the gym we went outside and on to the pitch. I was back in the starting 11.

Practice was almost over when we were playing small matches against one another. It was 5 vs 5 and I was up against Jordan. I played the ball over to Jennifer and then I felt a foot slide against the back of my ankle, a dirty ass foul. I fell and held my ankle in pain.

Leah looked like she was ready to kill Jordan after that foul and was in her face in no time. I quickly rushed over to them and pushed Leah away from Jordan. "Come on Leah. Let's check on Anouk." She gently pushed me away from her. She was angry but she didn't want to hurt me. "Katie, I appreciate this, but I need to talk to Jordan about this." I grabbed her arm and pulled her back forcefully. "I get that, but not right here. We're still in practice and everyone is looking. Let's check on Anouk. Come on." She finally started to listen to me and we walked over to Anouk who was now standing with the physio, checking her ankle.

"How is the ankle?" It was obvious that the impact had hurt but that there wasn't any further damage. She smiled at us. "It's fine. A little sore but it will be fine. I can still play the match. That's all that matters right now." We nodded our heads. Glad that our friend was ultimately fine. Knowing that she was okay, Leah relaxed a little more. Jordan apologized to Anouk after that tackle because Jonas basically forced her to and then we were back to training.

I had seen matches from Anouk and knew her as a player. Any other time she would have gotten up and asked Jordan what the hell that was, but today, she seemed like she did everything she could to keep her composure.

And that's when I saw it.

She wasn't calm at all. She hasn't been ever since she had gotten the news that Alex had gotten out of jail. Maybe Leah had helped her unknowingly by keeping her composure. It wasn't really noticable, but her shoulders were just that little bit tenser. Her muscles a little bit tenser, her whole demeanor just a little bit tenser, but not enough to notice it fast. Only when you really started to study her, you could see the differences.

She wasn't fine at all.

But she didn't want anyone to know.
