It's You (OC X Leah Williamson) WON'T BE FINISHED

Season 1; Episode 13; what now?

Leah's pov

I felt paralyzed as she told her story. She had been through so, so much. It felt wrong. It was wrong. She shouldn't be needing to tell this story to the whole world. This is personal. I was angry. When I felt a hand on my back, I looked up to see that it was Beth.

"What's going on Leah?" I looked up at her with tears still in my eyes. "It's just not fucking right. Excuse my language, but what the fuck. Anouk shouldn't be out there and have to tell that story. It's traumatic and her personal life. It's just not right."

Anouk sat up and I saw that she wanted to hold my hand, but a lot of people in this room still didn't know about us. I knew that I was the one that wanted to keep us as private as possible, but after knowing all of this, I want to be the one who is there for her. Through thick and thin. And right in that moment, I decided to be the one that she can rely on. I tilted my head up.

"This might not be the right time, but you all should know something. Anouk and I are together. We have been for a little while now, and I swear that I will help her through everything and to treat her better than he ever did."

It stayed silent, a lot of people just smiling. "What?" Kim looked at us. "Oh, we've known Leah. We already got suspicious when you came to practice in her kit, but you two always arrive together and you leave together. Then the holding hands against Fiorentina game. The way that she looked at you after that breakdown goal. The worry when she went down. The fact that you haven't left the hospital ever since Anouk came here and you even started to wear her hoodies. It was very obvious."

I blushed and when I looked at Anouk, I saw her smirking before realising. "Oh shit. You're wearing my favorite hoodie. I will need that back." I shrugged. "Maybe."

Jackie put her hand on Anouk's shoulder. Anouk looked up at her and Jackie just shook her head. "You don't have to put up a front anymore." Tears immediately started to well in her eyes. She was affected like hell by everything. She just didn't want to show it, even though we all knew her story now.

Everyone from the Arsenal and Dutch national team joined together in one huge ass group hug.

Anouk's pov

The Dutch girls stayed for a while, catching up with each other and with me. Leah reluctantly finally agreed to sleep at home. Whether that would be her house or mine and I slept alone. I didn't mind it. I loved seeing the girls, but it had been a very energy consuming afternoon and in the end, I had barely been able to stay awake while some girls were still there. Jackie and Leah ushered them away, finally.

I woke up the next morning, still feeling tired. It had been a restless night, a lot of anxiety burning through my body. I was also scared of the media. I knew that it was bound to happen, but I didn't want it to be like this.

The doctor came in and did the daily routine check-up. When he was done, he told me the good news. "Alright, everything is stable, which means that you're allowed to leave the hospital. There will be a police officer who will be by your side while you get home. For the coming while you should take it easy. So no extra stress-inducing activities. That includes football. Just purely because it wouldn't be good for your body. Your body needs rest too. You need time Anouk." I was sad with the news, but nodded my head. "Am I allowed to still go to the match as a supporter?" He nodded his head. "That should be fine."

I thanked him and he unhooked the IV from the needle and then pulled the needle out, putting a band-aid over it.

When he was gone, I started packing my stuff. I was dying for a warm and soaking bath. When I was almost done packing, Leah walked in. "What are you doing?" I turned around and looked at her. "I'm packing my stuff. I got green light to go home." She nodded her head and helped me pack the last of my stuff.
