the new baller in town

~71~

God I hate being away from her, Christmas was amazing even if I didn't spend it with my fiancé. We won our match the day after and got absolutely hammered I can't lie it was great. Now we have to deal with my least favourite month of the year, January, yay, fucking shit month, it's cold, crap weather and well it's January no body likes it. Nothing good comes from it, makes me want to hibernate.

Oh great I'm being called into the head office this morning for a meeting.
"Hola ella," they say shaking my hand from the other side of the desk.
"Hola," I respond taking a seat.
(I'm not fluent in Spanish so, italics are Spanish for this)
"As you know you are a extremely valuable player for the women's Barcelona 1st team,"  they say great way to start a conversation," however we think you would benefit for going out on loan, we have decided to send you back to arsenal until the end of the season, it was between west ham and arsenal and we want ypu to return next season having gained more experience so we selected arsenal, your flight is booked for monday, im sorry if this is an inconvenience but we will see at pre season, thank you Ella, you really are a great player,"  I'm going home, Im actually going home until the end of the season yeh i have to come back but that months with my fiancé and my family, fuck yeh, wait that means I'm leaving my family here tho.
"Gracias," I say leaving the room thinking how to tell ona and Lucy.

"You alright sweetie," ona says forcing me to look at her.
"I'm leaving Barca until the end of the season, they are sending me out on loan to arsenal but Im Not as happy as I thought I would be I don't want to leave you and this is my home," I say resting my head on her shoulder.
"Your leaving," she says a slight wobble in her voice.
"Only until the end of the season them I'm coming back," I say sitting up so I can hug her as she looks extremely sad now.
"At least you will get to live with your fiancé for a little bit, you get to stay with her Ella, look at the bigger picture and I'll always be here so we can talk every day and you can move back in when the loan is over," she says forcing a smile on her face.
"I'm sorry," I say hugging her tightly.
" Make me proud ok, you are amazing, you will do amazing and you will make arsenal win, you always do," she says taking my car keys off me and driving us home.

It's official I'm now part of AWFC again, I'm currently getting a taxi to Leah's as it's late and team bonding night at her so I figured I may as well go there. Non of the know I'm on loan to them I havent told them, any of them.
"Hunny I'm home," I yell as I go through the door.
"Ella," Beth shouts jumping into my arms like a koala.
"Not the one I was looking for but hey Beth," I say hugging her back and walking into the living room with her still hugging me.
"Hi everyone," I say prying Beth of me and placing her in Viv's lap.
"Hey love," I say bending down to kiss her gently before sitting on the arm of the sofa and placing my arm behind Alessia.
"What are you doing here," she mumbles into my shoulder.
"Oh you know, just thought I come over for a few month on loan," I say with a slight smile earning looks from everyone.
"What," Everyone says looking at me.
"I'm here until the end of the season on loan you know thought you guys would've missed me a little want some help getting to the top of the table," I say before getting tackled by wally who is now hugging me tightly," hey wally," I say hugging her back," you ok," I ask as she is still hugging me tightly.
"Yeh," she mumbles still hugging me.

"So your back," Leah says joing me in the kitchen.
"Yeh," I say finally hugging my older sister.
"I missed you, you know that," she says hugging me tightly.
"I missed you to, I'm glad I'm home, can I stay here tonight, I know I'm going to live with Alessia but just tonight, I want my family, and can Lia stay haven't really had the chance to speak to her," I say quietly.
"Of course Ella, of course," she says rubbing my back.
"Everything ok," wally says coming through the kitchen door.
"Yeh, everything is perfect," Leah says moving one arm so Wally can join in the hug.
" So, how's wedding planning going," they both ask.
"Haha, we haven't even started it yet if I'm honest but I do want to ask you both something, so I know the father of the bride usually walks the bride down the Isle, but Leah, can you walk me down the isle, and wally, can you um be one of my bridesmaids maybe if you want," I say nervous and rubbing the back of my head my hands slightly shaking.
"Of course Ella," wally says bringing me into a hug and kissing the top of my head. I look at Leah and see she has tears in her eyes so I pull away from the hug slightly and hug Leah.
" Yes I will walk you down the Isle Ella," she says with happy tears running down her cheeks.

AN, I'm slightly conflicted now I've had more comments saying to break them up but I've had a few saying not, I've written the story up to a point which involves what people want but I like the way it has been done
