Will She Be Like This Forever?

Chapter 13

You always said that I'd come back to you again
Cause everybody needs a friend
It's true
Someone to quiet the voices in my head
Make 'em sing to me instead
It's you

England Training!

Today was training at SGP again, I was actually really looking forward to it; however, my mind has been distracted recently. I still don't know who the girl was at Millie's party, and I really want to know. I had asked everyone if they saw anything, and no one did. Helpless honestly.

I woke up after dreaming about her, about her hands over my waist, the way her body moved in sync with mine, the way she smelt, how soft her hands were, the way she made me feel. To wake up from that dream was a real kick in the face. I just wanted to know who she was.

I saw Coopurr lying next to me, so I scooped him up before walking downstairs, seeing Katie and Ruesha already on the sofa.

"Good morning baby." she said, opening up her arms.

"Morning." I said, entering her arms. My head obviously still in the clouds.

"You're still thinking about her, aren't you?" Rue asked. I just nodded before curling into Katie more.

"You'll find out eventually babe." Katie said kissing my head as Rue got up and made me some toast and brought over a drink.

Once I ate it, I realised Leah would be here in literally an hour and I still had to pack, shower, and get dressed. I ran upstairs with Coopurr and placed him on my bed before I jumped in the shower. I only had a quick one obviously, not washing my hair as I knew I would do that tonight. I jumped out before putting my England tracksuit on and running over to my desk checking the time. 7:40. Shit. I had 20 minutes before Leah would be here.

I realised my hair was still wet and as I had no time to blow-dry it, I braided it. I was actually very quick at Dutch braiding my hair, so it only took up 10 minutes of my time. I quickly brushed out my lashes that Millie took me to get re-done the other day and chucked the rest of my makeup in a small bag.

I grabbed my backpack and shoved in a spare jumper, some shorts, and my football boots, along with the small makeup bag. I ran downstairs and knew I was forgetting something. Katie held out my pink blanket and I smiled.

"Have fun babes." Katie smiled as Ruesha came over. They both gave me a hug before I ran to Leah's car.

Leah had just got a new car and it was actually way bigger than the other one, so I didn't have to sit in the front anymore. It was a 7-seater. Beth was driving, with Jordan in the front, me, and Leah in the middle and Lotte and Nikita Parris in the back.

We normally didn't take Nikita with us, but she didn't have a way up this time, so Leah offered to take her.

I was absolutely shattered so Leah let me rest my head on her in prep for the 3-hour car ride ahead of us. She had grabbed my pink blanket from near her feet and rested it on me. I was about to sleep until Beth shouted.

"Oh my gosh guys look! There are cows!"

"Beth. I know you love cows, but Loz is trying to sleep here." she said to the cow-enthusiast, also playing with my hair at the same time.

"I'm sorry Loz, go back to sleep." and I did. I slept basically the whole way. My dream was so good.
