"Wait? What's happening?"
"Hey, Lia, Leah's pacing the floor!"
"Leave her be. She's gonna lock herself in her room in a bit."
"Why would she do that?"
Leah was home with some teammates, pacing the floor of her living room, hands wrapped around her hair. Her friends, apart from Lia and Katie, were all seemingly confused on what was happening to their co-captain.
Next thing they know, a sound of a door slamming and locking, Leah was gone.
"Told you."
Two weeks later, Leah was in a hotel room, her roommate seem to have disappeared. She grabs her phone and decides to video call her best friend.
"Leah?"
"Hi, Mum."
They both catch up on what's been happening in their life, Leah basically ranting to her mom at this point.
"Honey."
"Yeah?"
"Maybe it's a good thing that she's not in the football world."
"How is that a good thing? Hey, if she's not the one, I'd make a dating profile for myself." Leah jokes, tears streaming down her face.
"Calm down Le. Take a deep breath for me." Leah does what she is told. "Okay. Have you talked to her about it?"
"Well, no."
"Then you'll never know, unless you do. And I have a feeling you'll be just fine."
Months later, her Arsenal teammates noticed a change in her. She didn't pace the floor or lock herself in her room anymore. Leah often has a lovestruck look on her, face lighting up every time she checks her phone.
After training, she would just disappear. No one dares to ask her. That would just laughs at how Leah thinks she's being sneaky.
Another couple of months have passed and it was Leah's birthday. She decided to just have a low key birthday, invite her friends to her place and spend some quality time together.
This was the first time her teammates have met you or seen what you look like. Leah told the story of how you both met, eyes meeting from across the room.
Lia watches how you both interact from a distance, how her friend's eyes light up with you, smile the biggest she's ever seen, her heart fits like a puzzle in the palm of your hand.
You'd become her protector, not knowing how your whole world is going to change with her by your side.
All because Leah fell in love.
