Olivia's pov-
Its been a week since weve been back from lionesses camp, my mum's have had training but today is my first day back and saturday is the first game of the season
Lucy-"babygirl time to wake up for training?"
Olivia-"uhh what time is it?"
Lucy-"you have an hour until we have to leave"
Olivia-"ughhh can you get mama?"
Lucy-"yeah course you ok?"
Olivia-"yeah i just want mama"
Keira comes up the stairs
Keira-"you ok baba?"
Olivia-"yeah i just want cuddles"
Keira-"dont try and trick me"
Olivia-"im not i want a cuddle"
Keira-"come here then"
I quickly cuddle into mama
All i need to calm my nerves down is a mama hug
Keira-"right come on baba time to get ready"
I get up and go dizzy so sit back down
Keira-"baba?"
Olivia-"yeah im fine just a little dizzy"
Keira-"have you had enough to eat and drink?"
Olivia-"i dont know"
Keira-"come on lets get you ready?"
Olivia-"mama my legs feel weak, i feel like i cant walk, and my m..my arms feel weird"
Keira-"okay baba don't start making your breathing faster, slow it down your okay, ill grab you a cereal bar or something"
Olivia-"o..o..ok"
She quickly goes downstairs and grabs me a shreddies bar and some chocolate
Keira-"here baba eat that"
I eat it
Keira-"sit for 5"
5 minutes pass
Keira-"how do you feel"
Olivia-"a bit better thanks mama"
Keira-"you ok to train"
Olivia-"obviously"
Keira-"get dressed then come down"
I get changed into my training kit
I go downstairs
Lucy-"ready?"
I nod
We quickly get in the car
Olivia-"are you training to?"
Keira-"no not today so we will watch you"
Olivia-"oh ok"
I start fiddling with my fingers and my leg starts bouncing
My mum's are both sat in the front so my nerves start to increase and no one can stop them
I notice keira turn around but my eyes cant focus "olivia, olivia, olivia!" She says repeatedly. I dont reply. "Lu stop a sec" she says while climbing over to the back
"Olivia hands"
She takes me hands and squeezes them, she puts a hand on my knee
Keira-"liv, breathe"
Olivia-"t..t..they probably all hate me"
Keira-"if they all hated you, they wouldnt come and of got me and lu when you collapsed"
Olivia-"o..o..only cuz they had to"
Keira-"no liv, they like you, they think your a good player, so stop thinking about this and look at me"
I try but my eyes cant focus on her
Keira-"olivia eyes"
Olivia-"i...i can't"
Keira-"liv, stop. Calm down. You can do this, your nervous because youve been away, you are okay"
She holds my hands tonight so i cant move them to scratch
I realise im digging my nails into her hands
Olivia-"sorry mama" i quickly say and look down
Keira-"its okay baba"
Lucy-"were there now"
Keira-"you ready?"
Olivia-"i..i..i think"
We get out
I feel my hands shaking
Mum grabs one
Lucy-"go smash it babygirl"
Olivia-"thats my line"
Lucy-"well now its both our lines"
She gives me a quick hug before i head to the pitch
Coach-"morning everyone, welcome back Olivia, today is out last training session before the first game of the season"
We train
Coach-"well trained everybody, we are at the academy pitches saturday, meet at 9.30 for 10am kick"

Ivy-"oh ok thats cool"
Sophia-"hi olivia glad your back"

Feeling overwhelmed with the questions and the people i quickly tell them "i have to go now ill see you Saturday" they say bye and i quickly to go my mum's
Lucy-"well trained you"

All of a sudden an excited little westie comes running to the door
