Ive fallen

Chapter 20

"Y/n! Y/n! Care to eleborate on where you have been?"
"What happend with your sudden disappearance?"
"What are those marks across your face?"
"Why are you in the hospital"

I weave through the crowds of reporters gathered outside the hospital, myself finally being freed due to my constant pleas to be released. I grip onto Brittany and Mateo with my life, knowing how brutal the media can be from previous experiences. Mateo hides his face in my neck, snuggling in attempting to shield his face from the bright lights flashing in his eyes.
'seriously, he is only 2' i think to myself as my grip tightens on the little boy.
My right arm is clinging around my sister, attempting to hold her off from the swarm of reporters, attempting to get any information out of me, wanting to be the first reporter to get the 'inside scoop' of my disappearance.

"Whats can you say to the people commenting on your relationship with Leah Williamson"

I stop suddenly, turning around to face the reporter, a confused look on my face at the stupid question
'now why would anyone think me and Leah are together' i think to myself as i turn back around, continuing on my journey towards the car that was provided by Sarina.

My journey back towards the large building im calling home for the next couple of months was peaceful. Although, my mind never shut off from the confusing reporters question.

"Yeah so what is going on between you and the Williamson girl?" I voice suddenly says, snapping me out of my trance.
"What do you mean?" I question, suddenly turning towards my sister, my dominant persona finally returning.
"Well, she turned up at the hospital, and called me, saying she was your girlfriend" she states, almost dumbfounded
"My what?" I say, looking directly into my sisters eyes, questioning her every word.
"Well she-"
"Miss y/l/n, we are here, do you need any help?" A man suddenly questions, opening the sliding door for me to exit.
"No thank you" i say, nodding towards the man kindly

My body now swivels towards my sister and Mateo, saying my goodbyes due to them not able to enter the training facilities.
"Call me" my sister shouts as i walk away, making me smile and shake my head at her terrible attempt to embarrass me as i wave goodbye.

I hear footsteaps quickly run towards me as a large object hits me on the back and clings onto me like a koala.
I turn my head to see Keira holding onto me for dear life, as if i was going to disappear.
"Erm Keira?" I question the small midfielder, attempting to try and get her down from my back.
"Nope, im not taking any chances" she mumbles into my neck, making me smile at her child like instincts.
I just chuckle and shake my head before turning and walking up the flight of stairs.

My eyes flicker towards the large window, seeing the gathering of some of the players, staring out the window towards me. Once they realise they notice me, they all scatter away, as if i didnt realise them. Some putting books to their faces whilst other engage in 'conversations'.

I walk into the training centre, looking towards the one person who can peel keira off my back.
"Lucy! Get your girlfriend off me" i shout towards her, attempting to gain her attention.
She looks up from 'reading' before beginning to laugh at the sight before her. She runs over, attempting to pry keira off my back.
I soon hear a clanging, turning to see keira's body collapsed over Lucy, both laying now on the floor.

Finally, i reach my room, opening the door quietly to find the room empty, my belongings untouched and my bed still neatly made from when i last left.

"You think that your the man, i think therefore i am.
Stop, what the hell are you talking about, ha, get my pretty name out of your mouth"

I hear a voice singing, from the bathroom, the running water audible indicating someone is in the shower.
'Billie Eilish, good taste' i think to myself, approving of the blondes taste.

I relax on the bed, watching tiktok, waiting for her to get out of the shower.
"Y/n" leah says surprised of my sudden appearance, obviously not getting the information that i was returning today.
"Hey" i mumble quietly, not wishing to piss off the blonde anymore.
'she was probably happy i left' i think to myself, remembering how the blonde acted towards me before.
She just scratches the back of her neck, obviously feeling awkward at the current situation.
"I erm, im gonna shower now" i mumble leaving the room.

I strip my body of my clothes, showing my body that had scars over it, lines running down my body from the punishments i endured. My body feeling horrible, looking horrible.
I stand in the shower, washing the dirt of my body that had been collecting from the days i was away.
The slight sting of the hot water on my scars almost felt like a relief, my body almost finding comfort in the pain i was receiving.

I finally exit the bathroom, sighing out of releif from the shower i had finally had.
"Hey" i mumble, walking out of the room, looking towards my right, seeing a comfortable looking Leah, laying on her bed.
"Hey" she says, smiling towards me awkwardly.
"How are you erm, feeling" she says, putting her phone down to show her attention was focused on me.
"Yeah, better i suppose" i say, sitting down on my bed, facing the beautiful women

'wait, beautiful, did i just think that' i think to myself, realising i had called the blonde beautiful.
"I- we missed you" she mumbles, now finding the wall behind me interesting
I furrow my eyebrows towards her, realising she is finally attempting to be nice.
"Yeah, well, i wasnt here long, and some people made this place hell so" i say towards her, showing i still didnt forgive her for how she treated me.
"I- sorry, i have no excuse." She mumbles towards me, making me raise an eyebrow towards her.
*Sigh*
"Its fine, i suppose" i mumble, feeling a slight pang of guilt if i dont forgive her, knowing people make mistakes.
"Lets just sleep" i say, honestly wanting to get this conversation over and done with, wanting to move on
"Ok" she says, looking deflated before turning around, laying in her bed.

I attempt to sleep before i hear a few sniffles as well as hearing leah attempting to choke down a few sobs.
"Leah, are you ok?" I mumble, facing the blonde.
"I- sorry i just" she mumbles before sniffling again
"Its my endometriosis" she says before choking down another sob
"Y/n, it- it hurts" she mumbles

I get out of bed, walking towards her bed before getting into it
I sling my arm around her torso, pulling her in tight, comforting her as she cuddles into me
"Shh, its ok, I've got you" i say into her ear, running my fingers through her hair, my warm hands resting on the bottom of her stomach.
I press hand down gently, attempting to releive the pain she is feeling.
Her sobs finally get quieter and her breathing evens out.
Eventually, my eyes close as the blonde cuddles into me further, making a small smile rest on my face.
I finally fall asleep, cuddled into the beautiful blonde.
