A/N~ Guess who's going to the next North London Derby in March 🤭 🔴⚪️

Katie's POV

Yesterday's game went well, beating Manchester City 2-0, and now today is recovery, relatively chill. Y/n has her meeting later today down Manchester, to meet with Casey Stoney, United's head coach.

She's been a nervous wreck all week, excited for the opportunity, but filled with nerves about meeting Casey Stoney and talking about what her future may be, professionally wise.

She deserves it more than anything. All the hard work, dedication and effort she has put into football is truly admirable. She deserves the chance to become professional more than anyone I have ever known in all my life.

And if Casey can see and notice all of Y/n's incredible work, I know for a fact that Y/n will have absolutely no trouble with getting into professional football.

If Y/n did sign with United, it means she'll be playing the most competitive she's played yet. United are currently dominating their academy league aand are very close to earning a promotion to Championship.

Y/n expressed her concerns to me last night about if she did sign, what would it mean for us? She's worried that because if she did, she'd have to move to Manchester, and obviously, i'm in London.

We'd both be playing professionally, so our schedules would not be as they are now, making visits to see eachother more rare than what they have been.

Even though, United are currently only at academy level, they still train and play professionally and get paid. Which isn't usual for academy's, however, it's an extremely big club, so they do, for the senior academy teams.

However, the answer to her question is nothing.

I am determined to make sure that we still see eachother as much as possible, even if it means driving down for a day and coming back the same night, I love this girl to death and I am more than willing to make that four hour journey to keep seeing her.

I am more than willing to do it, and I just had to keep on reassuring her that we will be absolutely fine and we will continue to make this work regardless of where we're living.

"What you thinking about, McCabe?" I heard someone then speak up, pulling me right out of my thoughts.

"Hm, what?" I said, turning my head to see Leah stood to my side as I led down on the bed, as the recovery pumps worked on my sore legs.

"What's up? You look puzzled, deep within your thoughts" Leah then said, a look of slight confusion on her face.

"Nothing in particular, just life" I replied quietly, closing my eyes and continuing to let the recovery pumps relax the muscles in my legs.

"Hm, you sure everything's okay?" Leah asked, unconvinced from my answer. I mumbled a quiet "yeah" in response.

"Come see me if you need a chat though" Leah then said before turning and walking away out of the room, I hummed in response as I was then left in the room by myself.

Y/n's POV

Casey led me outside to the front doors, waving me goodbye with a warm smile on her face as I make a beeline for my car, my whole body shaking with anxiety and for some reason, pure panic as I made the very fast paced walk to my car.

As soon as I get to my car, I unlock it and practically throw myself into the driving seat, slamming the door as I got in.

I rested my head on the steering wheel, letting out deep and heavy breaths as I desperately try to calm myself down. But it wasn't working. I could not calm myself down, at all.

My whole body was just uncontrollably shaking, I don't have any idea what to do or how to stop this, nor do I even have any idea why on earth i'd be having a panic attack right now, especially when...

Katie's POV

Just as I was finishing on the recovery pumps, my phone rings in my pocket, a distinctive ringtone, immediately telling me that it was my girlfriend, Y/n.

I take my phone out of my pocket and swipe with no hesitation, "Heya, how did it go?" I asked, but I got no verbal response from Y/n, instead all I heard was heavy and very shaky breathing.

"Y/n, are you alright?" I asked, more concerned from not having a response to my first question, but still nothing.

"Y/n. Babe. Are you okay? Please talk to me, is everything alright?" I pleaded, now the panic in my body was setting quickly.

I took my legs out of the pumps, swiftly moving off the recovery bed and standing up, pacing around the phone as I desperately awaited for an answer from my girlfriend.

"Y/n, please, speak to me" I pleaded once again, but i'm met with silence. The heavy pants stopped.

Y/n then finally spoke up after a while of silence, "Katie- I, i'm fine, I uh- well, um, United signed me. U-united actually fucking signed me"










I've been heavily planning out the future chapters of this book, getting everything in order and ready for the big, big things. 👀

I've always known how this book is going to go, where and how it'll end, it's all planned out and is already in the process of being writen.

But don't stress too much, we're a while away from that end point! But, what I will say is, brace yourselves for what may or may not happen. I'm quite unpredictable if yous haven't already noticed.

What are your predictions of what is going to happen in this book? I'd really love to know everyone's thoughts on where they think this will go and what they think is going to happen.

Those of you who know me, my books and the way I write, you would already know that I have a lot of enjoyment out of writing surprises, cliffhangers and nail-biting stories.

Hope you are all doing well 🫶🏼 Take care of yourselves x
