"Ok"
I walk away to the bedroom
"Dont." She sternly says as i walk out
"Whatever" i say
Keira-"olivia. Dont be rude"
"Ahh what is wrong with you today picking on me for everything!" I say starting to get angry
"Come here liv"
I cautiously walk down the stairs not knowing what to expect
Keira-"im only caring about you liv, im not letting you go like that again, especially without me knowing"
Olivia-"ok"
Keira-"im sorry if you feel like im picking on you im not trying to, im only trying to care, come here"
She opens her arms, i carefully walk over and wrap my arms around her
She moves her arms and i flinch
Keira-"sorry baba, i needed to itch my nose, i will never ever do that"
I dont reply and snuggle further into her
Keira-"right lets get ready to go"
Im wearing my Bronze-Walsh shirt, not caring about fans and my mum's said i could
We go onto the coach at 11.20
We arrive at Wembley, 1.57
Lucy-"right walkies"
Olivia-"yay"
Keira-"come on"
We go for a walk
We get back at 2.45
They have a quick training session as they have time to kill
They come in at 5.30
They have some food
I start getting ready as i know it will be cold
Mama told me they have a surprise for me
Keira-"right youll find out your surprise at the stadium"
Olivia-"ok mama"
Skip to game time
We head down to the bit where we are waiting for the lionesses to go into the changing rooms
Keira-"right liv, before we get changed we are going to show you your suprise come on"
I quickly follow mama with mum behind me

It was quite equal until The Netherlands take the lead in the 12th minute
I feel myself getting more anxious
England keep fighting but then Netherlands then score again in the 36th minute
Olivia-"come on england" i keep repeating to myself
Halftime

My leg is bouncing
Leah-"theyll be okay liv, they can come back from this im sure"

England start with energy

Olivia-"YES G COME ON"

Olivia-"YESSSSSSS COME ON GIRLS"
Im nervous the rest of the game until another tooney goal at Wembley comes
Goal. Ella Toone. 90+1 minutes.
OLIVIA-"YES YES YES YES ELLA COME ON GIRLSSSSSSS"
Full-time

Leah-"told you"
Olivia-"yesssssss"
My throat hurts but i couldnt care less
They needed that win
Leah takes me down to the pitch where i find mum struggling to walk
Olivia-"MUM! let me help you"
I take her arm round my shoulder and help her walk to the changing rooms
I know she feels weak so i tell her "your not weak mum, its okay to need help" she replies with "no because i dont even know why its so bad today i dont like it" "its probably because the cold mum" i quickly reassure her
I take her into the changing rooms and keira quickly looks up
Keira-"luce?"
Mum goes to speak but i cut her off
Olivia-"she was struggling to walk so i helped her"
Keira-"why didnt you say something lu?"
Lucy-"because im fine"
Olivia-"because she doesnt want people to see her as weak"
Keira-"seriously luce what have i told you"
Lucy-"the now sorry kei"
We sit down
Sarina-"well done second half girls but we need to be better, so i have brought someone to try and give you some inspiration words"
Leah walks in
Leah-"hi girls, that was a great second half but we need to control games better, start quicker, press faster you know im not blabbering onto youse you know what i mean, i cant wait to back out with all youse"
Sarina-"thanks leah that might knock something into these" she laughs
We get back on the bus and i fall asleep quickly in my mums arms
Lucy-"get good sleep babygirl i love you"
I snuggle into her telling her i heard her
