you're safe with me

13

today i woke up in leah's arms again. i've been sleeping in her bed for the past few days.
i've also been very cautious when going out, making sure that im not being followed.

i got up and got ready for training. it's friday today so that means katie's sister, lauryn is signing. i'm quite excited for that as it means i will have someone my age around me.

i was sat eating breakfast when leah came down, rubbing her eyes.

"your eager today" she yawned, pouring in her cereal.

"shush you" i said.

i finished my breakfast and put my dishes into the dishwasher

once leah was finally ready we left for training.

we arrived and got to the changing rooms. there was a positive buzz around the room.

"apparently we've got another signing" caitlin said as i sat at my seat.

"who" i asked.

"not sure yet, we'll find out soon" she said.

we went out to training and did some running, shooting and passing drills. then we finished off with a mini match.

we went back in to the changing rooms and then jonas came in.

"i'd like to introduce our new signings" he said.

"first of all, i'd like to welcome lauryn mccabe" he said.

everyone clapped and cheered.

she walked into the room with a smile.

she does look exactly like katie.

she went round shaking hands with everyone. katie gave her a massive hug and had tears in her eyes.

she got to me and shook my hand.

"hi i'm lauryn" she said.

"i'm alex, it's nice to finally have someone my own age around here" i said with a laugh.

"yeah i can't imagine what it must have been like with all these oldies around here" she joked.

"and now" jonas said. "i'd like to welcome back, one of our very own, jordan nobbs"

everyone burst out in cheers as she walked in.

she went around hugging everyone as they all welcomed her back.

i noticed leah getting a little emotional as she watched jordan make her way around.

i grabbed leah's hand and gave it a squeeze while smiling at her.

she hugged me quickly, saying hi, before reaching leah who practically threw herself onto the shorter girl.

"your back" leah said almost crying.

"i'm back le. once a gooner, always a gooner" she said.

"you don't understand how much i've missed you" leah said.

"i think i do" she laughed.

we all went to lunch.

i walked in and saw leah sat with jordan. i decided to let them have some time because i know how close they used to be.

i sat alone and scrolled through my phone.

"can i sit here" i heard an irish voice.

"yeah of course" i said looking up and seeing lauryn stood with a smile.

"this is a little scary you know. being the new one and everyone else being older" she said.

"yeah it is at first but then you get used to it" i said.
