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

Season 1; Episode 28; The Move

Jonas called her.

Anouk quickly chugged some water to make sure that her voice sounded normal and then picked up the phone. "Good afternoon Jonas."

"Good afternoon Anouk. I hope you're feeling well. We uhm, we got an offer for you, well. We actually have multiple offers. The choice will be yours."

Anouk's eyes widened, she hadn't expected for clubs to want her for a loan so fast. Let alone to have multiple clubs interested. She swallowed. "Okay... which clubs are there?"

Jonas took a breath. He hated to see his players leave. Even if it was just out for a loan.

"Well, we have Chelsea, Paris-Saint Germain, Real Madrid and Barcelona."

The choice was made quickly for Anouk and she spoke the name with a clear voice.

Jonas listened to the answer. "Alright, I will give them a call and then we will help you get on a plane as quickly as possible. I do expect you to talk to your teammates before you leave."

She didn't want that though.

But it were here duties. "Okay, I will. Can we do today?"

"Yeah, if you get here now, we can shorten the training program and then say bye to you for now."

"Okay. I will be there soon."

Jonas hung up the phone and Anouk reached for the bottle, taking one big sip from it, washing the taste and smell away afterwards by brushing her teeth. She called a cab and she was gone to the Arsenal facility.

She hobbled inside on her crutches and went directly to the meeting room, texting Jonas that she had arrived. She sat down in one of the chairs to wait.

In the meantime Jonas read the message and called everyone together. The team wasn't training like they used to do. There was a very high tension between Leah and Jordan which affected the general mood a lot. The fact that Anouk would also be leaving also hurt the girls.

Jonas called everyone together. He didn't want to do it, but it was truly what Anouk wanted. "Good training today. I want all of you to go and take a shower. Afterwards, come to the meeting room as quickly as possible."

His voice was grim. No one knew about anything so everyone just headed inside to get themselves showered.

Anouk was twiddling with her fingers when Jonas came in. Anouk got up and hugged her coach. "Thank you for being able to do this on such a short notice."

Jonas hugged her back, a small, sad smile on his face. "I'm sorry that you feel like you need to leave us. But I'm sure that whatever your plans are for the foreseeable future, they match with what you really want."

Anouk nodded her head. "They do." Jonas put a hand on her shoulder. "Then that's what you need to do."

Anouk smiled sadly and hugged the man in front of her again. Soon the first players came in and they were Viv and Daan. As soon as they saw the brunette standing with help of her crutches, the girls went and hugged her.

"How are you doing young one?" It was Daan. Anouk chuckled sadly, swallowing her tears. "Not good." Daan and Viv just hugged the girl tighter.

They knew her too well.

That's when she walked into the room. The door opened and all 8 eyes went into the blonde defender her direction. Leah looked around the room and saw Anouk standing there. The moment that they made eye contact, Leah felt as if Anouk was a complete stranger to her and vice versa. Leah had been able to read Anouk's moods through her eyes. But now? They were completely closed off. Off limits to her.
