It's complicated

Chapter 24: England vs Norway

This is it I run over to my position getting ready to start the game. I look up into the box coles stood in he's got a smile on his face and I think I seen him wipe a tear that has fallen. I send him a smile and he sends me one back. I'm nervous I know I haven't been playing to the best of my ability in training and if I'm being honest I expected sarina to not start me because of it.

The whistle blows and the game kicks off. It's a slow start neither side has really been able to get a hold of the game. There has been a few chances on goal for us but nothing came from it. Mary plays the ball up to me from a goal kick I control it and nobody is near me so I have a clear run down the wing i bolt with it I can feel a few players running behind me to try and catch up with me there fast but I'm faster. I wip the ball into the box and it finds the head of Alex greenwood and it lands in the bottom right corner. The stadium erupts it took me a minute to realise what had happened. "What a fucking assist" Alex saying pulling me into a hug the whole team has ran over and are now piling on me. I run back to my position and the game starts up again. We now have complete control of the game Norway can't seem to get the ball off of us we are running rings around them. In the 40th minute I receive the ball just outside of the box i know I can score from here I've done it many times before. I swing my foot back and hit it. It looks like it's going wide but then it curls back round and lands in the top left corner. Once again the stadium erupts wait I scored. I run over to the corner taping the badge I made sure to run to the corner where Cole can see me I look up and lock eyes with him he's screaming. For someone who doesn't like football that much he looks pretty excited. I let a little chuckle out at his reaction.
"I'm so proud of you lex that was fucking amazing" leah says picking me up and spinning me around. "Ye I guess it was alright" I say laughing. This moment right here is why I love football so much nothing in the world could top this moment right now. The whistle blows for half time and we make are way back into the changing rooms I can't wipe the smile of off my face.

Well done girls you're all playing amazing Lexi and Alex well done on the goals. Keep doing what you're doing I think we can get more goals if we continue to play like we are. I'm going to make some changes around the 60th minute give some of you a rest sarina says.

The second half starts and I'm determined to get a second I know I can do it. Norway have seemed to lost all there motivation we are getting chance after chance. In the 50th minute Keira rockets one into the back of the net it was impossible to save. After that it has just been goal after goal. We are 7-0 up in the 80th minute. I still haven't managed to get my second goal just yet I can feel it coming tho I've assist 3 and scored one. There is only a minute left of the game we have won a corner. It gets wipped into the box and it's coming straight to me I think just fuck it it's my debut might as well make is memorable I jump up for it and go for an over head kick the ball connects with myfoot. I can hear the crown erupt and everyone is jumping on me. There is no way I've just scored and over head kick on my debut I was just fucking about I didnt think it would actually go in. "Lexi what the actual fuck I can't believe you have just done that" leah says screaming at me in complete and utter shock I don't say anything back I'm in shock myself I can't even speak. Let's just say this is going to be a debut to remember. The whistle blows for full time we won 8-0.

I walk round clapping the fans trying to soak up the last moments why I can. I great as many fans as I can sign some shirts and take a few photos. I make my way into the changing rooms and let's just say the scenes in there is something to remember. Everyone's got there shirts of dancing round. Even sarina is busting out some moves.

"Here she is the fucking star girl Lexi Bennet"Lucy says picking me up and putting me over her shoulders cheering. Everyone runs over and now I'm being held up by the whole team whilst they chant my name. I can't wipe the smile off of my face I don't think anything can beat this day. This is what I needed the past few days have been something to say the least i only left my room to go to training not wanting to interact with anyone. I was embarrassed and thought they would treat me differently after the incident with my dad but now I know that they don't think of me any differently and they just want to be there and make sure I'm ok.
