Lauren Arnold's life changed at 15 years old, when she got signed for Arsenal, having to leave her best friend, Ellie Roebuck, in Sheffield. She worked so incredibly hard and it all payed off on her 17th birthday.
Full of ups, downs, and everything...
I woke up with Katie talking quietly to Lillia at the bottom of my bed.
"She is tired, Lily. We have to go downstairs." Katie whispered.
I rolled over and grabbed Lily, scaring her but making her laugh.
"Good morning, Princess Lily." I smiled as I hugged her.
"Breakfast!" she smiled, which made me nod.
"Can you go downstairs with Auntie Katie while I get showered and dressed? I'll be downstairs in 5 minutes. I promise." I smiled at her, and she nodded.
Katie lifted her up and I got out of bed. My mam hugged me with Lillia on her hips and walked downstairs, closing the door behind her. I very quickly got showered, washing my hair and body, before chucking on some tracksuit bottoms and a jumper. We were having another lazy day today, just finally getting down from the holiday blues. I put my hair in a claw clip and walked downstairs to see my family on the sofa.

"I told you that I would be down soon, didn't I?" I smiled as Lillia ran over to me.
"Tell her how long she was, Lily." Rue laughed.
"10!" Lily shouted at me.
"10?! I was 10? How many is 10?" I smiled and she held up all 10 fingers. "Well done, Lily." I picked her up and carried her to the kitchen.
I sat on her on the kitchen counter as I grabbed a cup from above her head. I lifted her back up and took her to the fridge, pouring myself some apple and blackcurrant squash before filling the cup up with water from the tap.
"I have some?" Lily spoke and I walked her over to her mam.
"Is Lily allowed apple and blackcurrant squash?" I asked Shebahn.
"Yeah, she isn't allergic to anything, and we don't really let her not have anything...except like copious amounts of chocolate." She smiled at me.
"Want your own one so you don't have to drink out of mine?" I said to the child sat in between my legs. She immediately ran to the kitchen, trying to drag my hand. "Give me a second." I laughed, putting my drink down on the coaster and going to the kitchen with her.
