With the transfer window coming around the corner, all I could about was leaving. I need to leave, I am not playing, I am not enjoying playing football anymore. Although the break up happening over 6 months ago, I am still feeling heartbroken. To get me out of my thought there was a ring at the doorbell. Alessia asked if I could get it as she was cooking dinner.
When I came to the door I wasn't expected Ella. Her eyes were red as if you were crying for hours.
"Hey," was all I could say. She wiped a tear that escaped her eye. I didn't know what to say so I just gave her a hug. I could tell she needed it. We walked over to the couch and sat down. Alessia came into the lounge room not knowing who was at the door.
"Who was at the do-or?" She asked until she saw Ella still hugging me. not knowing what to say she told us, "Dinner will be already in 15."
"Hey, I don't what happened but I'm here for you," I told Ella. "But you don't need to tell now. Just take a nap and relax. Then tell me when you're ready."
That is exactly what she did. She felt asleep as soon as I said that on me. I was laying down on the couch with her on top of me. 15 mins later Alessia came to the lounge told me the food was ready but she saw that Ella was asleep on me. Alessia sat down next to me.
"Did she tell what's wrong?" She questioned.
"No, not yet. I told her to take a nap cause it looked like she needed it. Then tell us when she is ready." I responded.
"Do you have an idea what is about?" Alessia asked worried.
"I think I do. Her type of crying reminded me of when Leah told me she fall out of love with me. But I don't know."
We just sat in silence. Not knowing what to say to each other. We were unsure what caused Ella to be so sad. We sat/lay there until Ella eventually woke up.
"Hey, how did you sleep?"
"Probably the best in the last few days." - Ella
"Come on let's get up and eat dinner." - Alessia
"I don't feel hungry." - Ella
"Can you please just eat a little bit for me? Please."
"Ok fine." - Ella
We all got up and moved to the kitchen. Ella just looked so tired and numb. She ate a little bit but not enough. Alessia sent me worried looks about it. After we finished eating we sat there trying to help Ella eat a bit more. After we moved back to the couch.
"So, what happened El?" Alessia asked.
She sat there a little bit, trying to find the words.
"He broke up with me."
After hearing those words, I knew the exact feeling of that so I immediately hugged her. Alessia also moved to hug her for a big group hug. When we pulled up from each other Ella continued.
"He said I made him feel like he had to choose between his son and me. Which I never would. In the end in choose his son and told me that fall out of love with me."
"Aww El, just let it all out."
She continued to cry. My heart absolutely sank for me, I knew the feeling. Every single night before I fall asleep I remember the exact words that Leah said to me. It plays like a recorder over and over again non-stop.
"I know how you are feeling El. Been there and still going through it. But I also know you are strong. It may not seem like it but it will get better eventually. For me at times, even after 6 months, I still go through stages where I would just cry. I just know now, that by surround myself with people who truly love me, I can get through. Therefore, you can too."
"Yeah, it just that... I was fully in love with him. He made made believe that he loved me to for so long. I just... I don't know anymore. I just feel so alone, like Less you left. No hate to you, I understand why but like not having my best friends there is so hard. Like Mary and Millie are there but they aren't you guys." - Ella
"I know I shouldn't say this but I'm going to anyway. Less you don't know this either, you probably have the feeling."
"What is it?" They both questioned.
"I'll be leaving Arsenal, some clubs have made some offers. With me not playing cause I can't be around Leah now that she is back, I just can't stay here anymore."
"Actually?" - Ella
"I had a feeling you would... I hate to see you leave but I understand. Jonas basically choose Leah over you. Even though you and me have been playing so well together. We are top three in the ladder because of you." - Alessia
"It is what it is, she is the England captain and I am just apart of the England squad. You can't have your England captain not play at club level."
"You know you aren't just apart of the squad, you're more than that. For the Gunners you are one of the leading scorers." - Alessia
"I don't think there is anything I can do anymore."
"What clubs have put offers for you?" - Ella
"Real Madrid, Tottenham and Man United."
"Really." - Ella
"Yeah."
"What club are you thinking of going to?" - Alessia
"Real Madrid is too far plus I would need to learn another language, so that's a no. I also don't wanna go to Tottenham, as it just wouldn't feel right being in London but not playing for the Gunners. So my only option is..."
"Man United!" Ella exclaimed.
"Yeah."
