How are you my mum?

74. Final

Olivia's pov-
There was 3 days between our semi final and todays game, those 3 days have been, 1. Taking the piss out of my mums the first after you know what happened in this bedroom, 2. Training 3. Hard training and gym, now today is the big day. The U17s Euros final. Against France. Wow. Im actually here, heres to think just one year ago id still be getting abused everyday and now im here with my two favourite people ever. Our game kicks off at 4, great, absolutely great more time for me to panic, lovely. I wake up at 8 already overthinking it and having a nightmare, i keep quiet about it as today is not the day, i feel sick, violently sick. I lie there in my bed but all the worst case scenarios keep coming to my head, all of a sudden my phone starts vibrating. My phone is fully spammed.

📳Mama❤️:
This is from me and mum, we are beyond proud of you, we love you  so so so much, we are so proud of how youve become your own character, we love you baba, babygirl you know, goodnight we love you most❤️❤️xx
It brings tears to my eyes to know they actually do love me this much, ive never had anyone love me before let alone this much in the space of one year. I thank everyone and put my phone down, i go down to breakfast and have the minimum i can as i feel way to sick to eat anything big. I go back up at 9.30, everyone is still sleeping, theres a knock at the door, i get up and open it to see mia.
Olivia-"oh uh hey mia"
Mia-"hey, i just come to tell you, your captain today"
Olivia-"oh actually yeah i wanted to tell you, i cant be captain, not for this one"
Mia-"what of course you can"
I shake my head "you were picked captain mia, you should be captain of the final of course" i tell her
Mia-"no no no olivia, of course you should be captain, at least do half each, me doing the first"
Olivia-"fine, your not funny mia, you should be captain"
Mia-"you took over when we needed so no, shush"
Olivia-"bye mia, have a nice morning"
Mia-"bye olivia"
I turn around and open the door, i walk through-
Keira-"BOO!"
I jump out my skin
I get flashbacks as pete did it when he wanted something, put it off Olivia, put it off
Olivia-"ahhhh, you silly bit-"
Keira-"uhm what was that"
Olivia-"n..n..nothing"
Keira-"who was that"
She puts an arm around my shoulder and i flinch
Olivia-"sorry" i say looking down, we sit on my bed
Olivia-"mama i cant do this"
Keira-"of course you can"
I shake my head
Keira-"yes you can olivia, you havent come this far to give up now"
I nod
Olivia-"yeah i can"
Keira-"no, no you cant"
I lie down
Tears start forming and my chest starts tightening, oh no, not now.
Keira-"baba, here now"
I jump into her lap and snuggle in
She rubs my back while i hold tightly onto her
Olivia-"i cant do it mama, i cant, i...i..i had another nightmare to"
Keira-"baba you should of said"
Olivia-"im sorry"
She rocks us both sideways
Keira-"your gonna be ok baba"
Olivia-"why do i get so panicked"
Keira-"i do to, your mums always calming me down to, she did before the euros and world cup final"
Olivia-"really?"
She nods
I calm down, and end up going back to sleep. She keeps rocking us, i wake up an hour later. Im still in her lap
Olivia-"y..y..you never left?"
Keira-"of course, they went for breakfast but i stayed incase you woke up"
Olivia-"thank you mama, you can go now"
Keira-"do you wanna come?"
I nod and wrap my legs around her so she can pick me up
Keira-"oh its a good thing your light"
I nuzzle my head into her neck as we reach the canteen, she sits next to mum, mum peeks round her shoulder
Lucy-"peekaboo"
I giggle
She gives keira a quick peck before continuing her food. I stay locked onto mama throughout the whole of it. It gets to 2 and the nerves start kicking in again. I start shaking so mama grabs my hand
Keira-"you will be ok"
We are leaving at 3.15pm, it gets to that time. I freeze so mama picks me up and sits me in her lap.
She whispers nothing but sweet words into my ear all the drive there.
Lucy's pov-
Im so nervous, keira is being amazing with her all day she has been, she is everyday, shes the best partner i could ever ask for.
We arrive at the stadium and keira has to carry liv in as olivia wont let go. We both go into the changing rooms and eventually persuade liv to let go so she can go and warm up, its is 3.45pm. 15 minutes. My phone vibrates
📳Rach:
Here lucy where are youse!

Ive arranged for some girls to come down for olivia in support, rach,leah,lessi,steph and a few others.
📳Lucy:
Cmin now rach

Lucy-"kei there here"
Keira-"lets go"
We go out to meet them all when natalie comes running out
Natalie-"there you are! Lucy keira, olivia needs you"
Lucy-"what?"
Natalie-"cant breathe"
I instantly panic and run after natalie.
We soon reach olivia sat on the floor at the edge of the pitch, i kneel down beside her.
Lucy-"hey babygirl its me, can you hear me, its me your mum, look at me"
Olivia-"m..m..mmmum i cant d..d..d..do it"
Lucy-"yes you can babygirl look at me" i try and get her to refocus her eyes as thats the first step in calming her down "yes thats it, look at me babygirl" i hold her hands "come on liv keep looking at me" she keeps her eyes on me so i focus on her breathing which isnt any better. "Now breathe liv, slow down" after about 5 minutes the tears stop streaming and the breathing is slower. "Well done liv ive got you" i pull her into my lap and rock her back and fourth, its 5 minutes until kick off so i carry her into the changing rooms staying with her.
Natalie-"girls we ok?"
I nod
She tells the girls the team, olivia starts on the bench to give her time to refocus, i thank her and sit on the bench with liv. The game starts
Alex S(on commentary):" welcome to anyone whos watching this euros u17s final, it is england vs france, both teams are starting a strong team but one noticeable miss from the england squad is that olivia bronze-walsh is not starting"
France start as the better team, there controlling gameplay pays off and they take the lead, livs knee starts bouncing, i put my hand on her knee.
Lucy-"dont worry, im gonna sit up with keira ok, are you ok?"
Olivia-"i uh yeah ill be fine go to mama, ill sit with ria"
Lucy-"babygirl."
Olivia-"ill be fine mum, i love you, thank you"
Lucy-"bye babygirl i love you more and dont thank me its what im here for you"
I go back upto the girls and keira flashes me a worried look
Lucy-"shes ok dont worry"
Keira-"good"
I sit on keis lap as there isnt any free seats next to her
Keira-"hello to you to"
I lean back into her and she wraps her arms around my waist
Olivia's pov-
France are winning. Shit. Halftime and were 2-0 down.
Natalie-"right girls, were better than this, we know it, ria and liv im bringing you both on"
As we walk out onto the pitch, mia grabs my arm, i freeze
Mia-"sorry my bad, but i need to give you this, your the better captain clearly"
Olivia-"no mia i cant have this, a good captain doesnt have a panic attack before the final"
Mia-"shows they care"
Olivia-"god dammit mia, i cant have this from you, you are chose the captain, you should be it"
She shakes her head "no olivia, i am your chosen captain and this, is an order"
Olivia-"mia"
She puts the armband on my arm
Mia-"lets go captain"
I walk out with the armband and we start the second half, we are really slow, theres no communication.
Olivia-"GIRLS COME ON" i scream at them, i make a run through the box dribbling past the defenders, i get into the box and get brought down
Olivia-"REF!"
She blows for a penalty
Olivia-"yess"
I pick up the ball and put it on the spot. I score, i run to grab the ball out the net and put it on the halfway line.
Olivia-"COME ON GIRLS WERE STILL IN THIS"
Lucy's pov-
Leah-"proper captain ent she?"
Keira-"yeah she is"
Olivia's pov-
89th minute, were playing much better now, were more alert, more talking, Millie plays a chipped through ball over the defence onto ria, ria dribbles it down the wing, i make my way into the box.
Olivia-"RIA!"
She plays a ball in, the only way i get to it, overhead kick, i cant do that but i have to, its this or nothing, here goes nothing. I slow my pace, start lifting my leg and jump up, i make contact with the ball, i come down and hit some of my long lasting bruises on the floor but i turn my head and see it sail towards the goal, the net ripples. Oh my god i scored.
Alex S:"OH MY GOSH OLIVIA BRONZE-WALSH WHAT A MAGNIFICENT GOAL THAT IS!!"
I stay on the floor frozen, how have i just scored that, i look towards my mums and see Rach,Lessi,Leah,Stephy. Oh my god there all here, for me, to support me, my teammates crush me to the floor all screaming.
Ivy-"WHAT A GOAL!!"
Ria-"nice goal bronze-walsh"
I get up and the game ends 1-1, extra-time finishes the same score so penalties here we come.
Its 4-3 to us, i am last to take it, if i score, we win, im so nervous, i control my breathing and look to my mama, she does a 'calm down' sign to me, i take a deep breath in, i have a penalty master watching me, Steph Catley, shed be so angry, theyd all be so disappointed, i put the ball down and take a few steps back, i close my eyes take a deep breath in and start my run up keeping my eyes on the ball, i hit the ball towards the top left corner, i watch as it sails towards the goal, the keeper going the same way.....
