I woke up and felt drops of water on my face
Leah: "I wanted to have a turn today"
Elena: "cool"
Leah: "Come on, get up or I'll take the whole bottle"
Elena: "do it"
Leah: "Why doesn't this work on you"
Elena: "Because you won't do it anyway Leah"
Leah: "You think so?"
Elena: "And even if I continue to sleep"
Leah: "You're so boring"
Elena: "Yeah, I know"
I hate the feeling of getting up...
To breathe, to experience a new day
I don't want anymore
Leah: "Come on, Beth texted me to come over."
Elena: "Then go"
Leah: "with you"
Elena: "Tell her to come over"
Leah: "Come on, get up"
Elena: "No chance"
She stood in front of my bed
Elena: "yeah okay, pull me up"
I reached out my hand and while she took my hand I pulled her onto the bed
Elena: "Oh dear, you probably didn't have enough strength."
Leah: "Come on, stop and get up now"
I got up and lay down again
Leah: "What was that?"
Elena: "You said get up, I did"
Suddenly there was a knock at the door
Leah opened it and Beth was standing there
Beth: "Good morning, favorite people, since we only had one session today, I wanted to take Katie and the team to the beach."
Leah: "Wow, that sounds great"
Beth: "So you're in?"
Leah: "of course"
Beth: "Elena, you too?"
Elena: "no"
Leah: "Come on"
Elena: "no"
Beth: "for me"
Elena: "no"
Beth: "You have to come with me, I want to introduce you to a pretty blonde"
Elena: "Is there a synonym for no?"
Beth: "She's single, blue eyes, blonde hair and has asked about you several times"
Elena: "ughhhh I hate you"
Beth: "Shut up mate I'll just make you happy again"
Elena: "okay let me think"
.....
Elena: "Okay, I'll come with you"
Leah: "No, everything's fine, you don't have to"
Elena: "But you wanted me to come with you"
Leah: "yeah but...Elena, what the fuck?" she said to me quietly
Elena: "Stay calm...I just want to go to the beach"
After our session we went to the beach
There were some of the girls' friends there
I was mostly with Leah until Beth came up to us with a blonde
Beth: "Natalie, this is Leah and...Elena"
Natalie: "Nice to meet you"
she said and we shook hands uncomfortably
Beth: "Leah, come a minute, you have to help me set up the campfire"
Leah: "Ask Katie...besides that's not even allowed"
Beth: "It doesn't matter, please come now"
Leah went to Beth
Natalie: "So Elena, your name"
Elena: "Right"
Natalie: "Finally your face gets a name"
Elena: "Do you want to walk along the beach with me because standing around is boring?"
Natalie: "Of course"
We walked down the beach
Natalie: "What do you like to do besides football?"
Elena: "I really like to spend my time alone and sleep"
Natalie: "same love it"
Elena: "Whats your job ?"
Natalie: "Psychologist"
Elena: "ughhh interesting"
Natalie: "It's like heaven here, look at this sunset"
Elena: "Wait"
I took off my jacket and laid it on the sand
I sat down
Elena: "Sit down"
she sat down next to meLeah's POV
Beth: "They honestly look good together"
Leah: "yeah"
I just want to take Elena and move far away without football without all the people just the two of us
Beth: "Elena is very charming perfect Natalie loves that"
I watched as she took off her jacket and they sat down
I hated the sight
and above all knowing that Elena is actually allowed to do anything, she could kiss her here and now and I couldn't do anything because we're not together
Leah: "I'll go"
I said to beth because i couldn't take the view
I called Keira
Keira: "Hey mate, why did you call"
Leah: "Elena"
Keira: "What's wrong with her?"
Leah: "Actually, I'm not allowed to say that, so don't tell anyone...Elena and I are kind of dating but it's nothing official. Beth is trying to set Elena up with one of Beth's friends, and as far as I know Elena, she's into it because me and her aren't officially together, we're just kind of together and I don't know what to do."
.....
Keira: "Wow...that was...a lot"
Leah: "I swear to you if she laughs at Elena again I'll slap or drown her"
Keira: "Okay, first come down for a moment, Elena hates jealousy."
Leah: "I'm not jealous"
Keira: "Leah yes...yes you are"
Leah: "Should I just go and sit next to them?"
Keira: "Leah mate Elena is an adult, don't force anything on her... imagine this friend of Beth's is the love of her life and she could be really happy and then you screw it up... I know Elena and I know how loyal she is to you. Trust her...she'll know what she's doing, try to distract yourself or convince yourself they're just friends"
Leah: "Phew......thank you Kei"
Keira: "Listen to me and don't do anything stupid"
Leah: "yeah"
Keira: "so keep calm and trust elena"
Leah: "Thanks Kei really"
Keira: "But omg you and Elena again? I knew it"
Leah: "Don't tell anyone, Elena doesn't want anything serious"
Keira: "Yes she wants to, she just hates to ask"
Leah: "Should I ask?"
Keira: "God no she hates that even more...give her time"
Leah: "But I don't want to be a one-time thing"
Keira: "You're so much more to her, believe me."
Beth: "Hey mate, I need your help for a moment"
Leah: "Kei Beth needs me, I'll call you back later okay"
Keira: "yeah okay and be chill Leah"
Leah: "Thanks mate bye"
Keira: "bye"
