Ive fallen

Chapter 28

"Its game day, bitches!!" Rachel shouts as she walks into the changing rooms, due to being last off the bus.
"Shut the fuck up, Rachel" Leah says back in the same tone.
She just pouts at Leah as she walks past, Millie laughing loudly at her friends reaction.
"Geez, what crawled up your ass and died" i say towards Leah, already knowing the reason for her moodiness.
She just glares at me before continuing getting ready, making me laugh towards her.
"Come on now, Le, we had to get up" i say as i walk behind her, wrapping my arms around her shoulders.
"Yeah, but you didnt have to push me off the bed to wake me up" she shoots back, making me smirk at her reaction.
"Its a tradition though, you cant break tradition." I say, knowing i have woken her up like that for the past couple of days, due to her always falling asleep on my chest.
She just scoffs at me before walking off, ready for warm ups. I follow closely behind, knowing Sarina's reaction to me being late last time.

"Alright, ladies, its the finals now. We have worked hard and come a long way to be here, we showed Sweden how to play football, now lets do the same with the Germans. England on the count of 3.
1,2,3, ENGLAND" Sarina says before walking off, going to the bench with the rest of the substitutes.
"Lets do this ladies!" leah shouts before lining up side by side with the German players.
Game time...

"Chloe Kelly you fucking legend" i shout as i trail behind Chloe, scoring the final goal, putting us 2-1 up in added time. She strips her t-shirt off and waves it around, celebrating her victory goal.
Once she finally stops, we all pile on top of her, showing our excitement.
We all climbed off the smaller individual, giving her room to breath, knowing that was most certainly the longest sprint of her game.

The ref walks up to Chloe, showing her a yellow card for taking her t-shirt off, only for her to shrug her shoulders, not really caring.

We all get back into position, defending for our lives once the game restarts.

Finally the ref blows her whistle, signalling the end of the game. We did it, we actually fucking won the Euros.
We see the piles of German players fall to the floor in defeat whilst the swarm of English players jump on top of eachother, smiling at our achievements.

I look towards Leah as she looks towards me, tears threatening to fall from her eyes as she looks at me, shouting the words of the song 'Three lions'
"We did it Le, we actually fucking did it" i shout as i feel Leah's sweaty body collide with mine, emotion finally taking over us as Leah cries happy tears on my chest. I fall to the floor in defeat, having put all of my energy in the game.
I squeeze the blonde in tight, not willing to let go, wanting to savour the moment we are having.
"Hey, lovebirds, come on, we have a trophy to lift" Keira says as she walks over, smirking towards us and at our reactions.
Both our faces turn a bright shade of red, feeling like we had been caught.

Leah finally climbs off me, holding her arm out for me to take, lifting me off the floor with the last bit of strength she has. I stand up, flinging my arms around the shoulders of Leah, walking with her towards the trophy as we gather our medals.
Leah being obviously last to get her medal due to her obligation to lift the trophy. Although, im sure she doesnt mind.
She picks up the trophy, walking towards us all who are gathered, ready to lift the trophy, making this whole occasion feel real.
Finally, Leah lifts the trophy as we all fling our arms in the air in celebration, half crying whilst half are screaming. This is the best day of my life.

I look over, seeing Leah walking towards the stands, standing face to face with her mum, smiling towards her with tears in her eyes. Her mum looks over at me smiling, giving me a small wave as she hugs her crying daughter. I wave back, smiling sweetly towards the older woman who i have spoken over the phone with many times since our last interaction.

When Leah finally breaks away, i see her looking at me, as i stand in the middle of the field, before walking towards me, not after saying a quick goodbye to her mother.

"You did it Le, you actually fucking did it" i say towards the blonde as we stand in the middle of the field, our hands holding eachother. Celebrations are still being heard as we stand with eachother, but we didnt care, it was just us now.
"No, Y/n, we did it" Leah says, looking directly into my eyes.
I move my hand towards the side of her head before i lean in, connecting our lips.
Definitely the best day of my life.
