2 months later
We have an international break and a game against Germany
I'm in a room with Leah and Keira
the first time that there are three of us
I'm glad it was Keira because Keira knows about me and Leah.
We were just walking up the stairs
Keira: "ugh why are you carrying Leah's suitcase and not mine"
Elena: "Ask Lucy"
Keira: "mean"
Leah: "We're here"
We stood in front of the door and I opened it
Keira: "Okay, I guess you take the double bed and I take the single bed"
Elena: "yeah..."
we unpacked and then went to the gym
I was chilling doing my workout and saw Keira and Leah staring at me
Alessia: "Hey mate do you need help"
Elena: "No, everything's fine... do you need help?"
Alessia: "Yeah, but I'll say no because otherwise I'll feel weak."
Elena: "No problem, I'll help you"Leah's POV
Keira: "Stop staring mate"
Leah: "What?"
Keira: "You stare at her Leah, when others see that they think you're absolutely in love with her"
Leah: "I am"
Keira: "Do you want the others to find out?"
Leah: "Somehow yes...Elena just not"
Keira: "I'm with Lucy and everyone knows it too"
Leah: "God, she looks good"
I said, still staring
The way you can see her veins on her hand bro
and the way she tenses her jaw
Keira: "Look at Lucy bro"
I looked over at Lucy
Leah: "I prefer mine"
I looked back again and suddenly Alessia is standing next to her
Ughhhh mateeeee
Leah: "Alessia really?"
Keira: "chill mate Alessia doesn't want anything from Elena"
Leah:,,cap...look at her looking at Elena...and why shouldn't she?The two of them had something."
Keira: "You're the most jealous woman I know"
Leah: "I'm not jealous, how would it be if Lucy were laughing with one of her former lovers here?"
Keira: "Yeah, okay, I understand"
Elena helped her with push-ups
I don't know why, but suddenly Elena pushed her on the hip
Leah: "Bro, I'm going over there"
Keira: "chill Leah Elena just tells her to tense her hips more"
Leah: "So what?"
Keira: "Leah come down now and just do your stuff"Elena's POV
I went to Leah
she looked...very focused
Elena: "Do you need help?"
Leah: "no"
Elena: "Ughhh concentrated girlfriend, whats up?"
Leah: "Nothing, you can go"
Elena: "Are you okay? Do you want me to bring you something?"
Leah: "No, you should go"
Elena: "Talk to me"
Jonas: "Girls, this isn't coffee hour, please do your work"
Elena:,,are you mad? did I do anything?"
Leah: "Did you hear Jonas?"
Elena: "Leah..."
I looked into her eyes
Jonas: "Girls please!"
She turned around and set her jaw
Jonas: "Are you okay?"
he asked her
She gave her thumbs up and left againElena's POV
We just walked up from the room
Lucy was next to Keira And Leah
Lucy: "Elena mate, how are things going with Alessia?"
Elena:,,Alessia? How did you come across Alessia?
Lucy: "Come on, I know those looks"
Elena: "We are friends Lucy...I look at all of my friends like that"
Lucy: "Mate, what happened to my Little player?"
Elena: "I'm not a player and never have been one"
God this is so awkward next to Leah and Keira
Keira: "Oh yes you were"
Lucy: "Yeah, you've become a real softie. Have you met anyone?"
Elena: "Nope"
Lucy: "Mate we were at the bar the other day and a blonde I mean A BLONDE asked you if you wanted to go to her house and your answer was 'Nahhh I have a girlfriend'"
Elena: "You were drunk af how could you remember that"
Lucy: "It's not important who is she?"
Elena: "She's a human"
Lucy: "Come on, tell me about her"
Suddenly someone came running up the stairs from behind
Alessia: "Hey Elena..."
I turned around
Elena: "Do you need anything?"
Alessia: "No, I forgot to give you back your sweater"
She said and handed it to me
I gave it to her earlier because she was cold
Elena: "Oh yes, thank you"
She smiled at me and I smiled back
She turned around and left again
I turned around and everyone looked at me
Elena: "Why are you looking like that?"
Lucy: "It's Alessia!"
Elena: "What no"
Lucy: "omg I knew it"
Elena: "It's not Alessia"
Keira: "Just say it, man"
Elena: "It's not Alessia"
Lucy: "Why did she have your sweater?"
Elena: "Because she was cold"
Lucy: "Ughhh you're caring"
Leah: "Okay, I'm going now"
Elena: "yeah, I'm coming with you"
I said and walked after her
Elena: "Hey, can we talk?"
I said
Leah: "Yeah...I'm free on February 30th"
Elena: "Okay cool...wait what?"
She opened the door and went in
I closed the door
Elena: ,,What's wrong with you Leah?If you're not feeling well Talk to me, should I get you something?"
Leah: "Yes, you can get me a new girlfriend"
Elena: "Okay, okay...what's wrong?"
Leah: "What's the fuck with Alessia? when you touched her in the gym, now she suddenly has your sweater. Tell me the truth"
Elena: "Leah wtf"
Leah: "say it"
Elena: "Leah I love you, not alessia just you but you are far too jealous to see that. Alessia needed help in the gym in case you forgot, that's what teammates are there for and she had the sweater because she was cold I'm a nice person."
She stood there quietly
Elena:,,I love you. In every universe. in every reality. In my dreams, everywhere... there is only you and if you can't see that, I'm sorry, but then that's not possible between us.
Now tell me face to face why you think I want something from Alessia. What should I do differently? don't talk to anyone anymore?"
Leah:,,Can you give me...time? I don't think we're the right community at the moment."
Elena:,,No. I'll be there when you laugh and I'll be there when you cry, I'm not leaving"
Leah: "Please just go for a moment"
Elena: "No fuck you, we're in a relationship, I'll stay here"
I went to her and hugged her
Elena:,,Fuck Alessia.Fuck everyone else. Nobody is as beautiful and annoying as you"
She laughed a little
Elena: "I love you so much that you don't even have to be jealous because there would never be a person like you."
Leah: "Stop it, I'm going to start crying, asshole"
Elena: "Then cry. I'll wipe your tears"
Leah: "I love you too..."
Elena:,,fuck. I forgot my phone downstairs"
I said laughing
Leah: "That was random"
Elena: "yeah sorry, I'll be back soon"
she went out to get her phone
I looked at my phone and saw that I only had 1%.
Fun fact I forgot my charging cable haha.
I looked in Elena's bag for hers and I found a book
Something like a diary or something
Actually you shouldn't look into it but I'm too curious
I opened a random page
On January 18, 2019 over 4 years ago
-i guess I've read hundreds of novels in my life, most of them claiming that love was the center of the universe. That it could heal any damage inside of us. That it was what we needed to survive. From Darcy to Heathcliff, I thought they were fools. That love was something fictional, only found in worn pages of a book.
That it was just made up to keep humans full of hope, that it was a lie. But all that changed since I met my Elizabeth Bennett. I never thought I would find myself completely and utterly consumed by another until her.
She took my hand and led me out of the darkness and showed me that, whatever our souls are made of, hers and mine are the same.
You once asked me who I loved most in this world.
It's you.-It's nice to read something like that...hoping it was about me
Elena: "I have it again"
she said
Elena: "You don't read other people's diaries, Mrs. Williamson"
Leah: "Mhhh I'm allowed to, after all it's about me"
Elena: "Why so sure?"
Leah: "Because I asked you who you love the most in this world"
Elena: "Yeah, okay, you caught me"
Leah: "Your answer was 'myself' but you looked at me and smiled"
Elena: "Yeah..."
I was leafing through it and she came to me and took the book out of my hand
Elena: "Okay, you definitely know too much"
