Olivia's pov-
Today is game day, we have 2 games in four days, today its Austria, kick off is at 7pm so Sarina called them for training and meetings before going to the Stadium, its a spanish stadium not a clue what its called, mum and mama are already both awake and out of the room by the time im awake, the nerves kick in but they left me a note like they always do.
Olivia xx
Hey babygirl, me and your mama have gone down to breakfast, you can come down when your awake and ready if you want, well be waiting for you or in the gym, love you lots xx
I decide to get changed, kind of struggling by myself but i manage to put mamas england joggers on and mums hoodie, i go into the bathroom and notice ive got a black eye from ruby im guessing, mums trousers are way to big for me, i leave the hotel room and go to the canteen where there still sat, its now 10am,
Lucy-"hey babygirl"
Olivia-"hey mum"
Leah-"LOOKING GOOD IN THEM CLOTHES LIV!" I laugh
Lucy-"what do you mean?"
She looks at my clothes and laughs
Keira-"erm excuse me, they are my trousers!"
Olivia-"yes i know, mums dont fit me there to big and yours are perfect size" i smirk and sit on mums lap
She puts her arms around me and tries to give me some of her breakfast but i move my head
Lucy-"just a bit please"
Olivia-"fine" i have a few spoonfuls of her frosties before telling her im done
Lucy-"good girl"
Sarina walks in
Sarina-"morning everyone, we are playing Austria today at 7pm we will leave her at around 5.30 to 6 giving us more than enough time, i want you all in tje gym for 11-11.30 giving you an hour and a half to finish your breakfasts and being in the gym then we will have meeting, and training, and then you have some chill time to prepare yourselves thank you" she looks at me "oo liv are you ok? Youve got a black eye?"
Olivia-"yeah yeah all good, ill make sure to cover it for all the cameras looking at me" i smirk
Everyone laughs
Sarina-"thanks everyone"
She leaves going back to her office
Lucy-"right babe you finished?"
Keira-"yeah all done" i notice she hasnt got a plate infront of her like everyone else
I whisper to mum
Olivia-"no mum no she isnt she hasnt started? Look no plate"
Lucy-"oh yeah, keira"
Keira-"hm?"
Lucy-"are you finished?"
Keira-"yeah course"
Lucy-"keira"
She sighs
Keira-"no i havent even started"
Olivia-"told you"
Lucy-"why?"
Keira-"were playing austria"
Sarina comes back out
Sarina-"liv can you go to the physio please"
Olivia-"erm yeah 2 minutes"
Lucy-"okay whats wrong with Austria?"
Keira-"think"
*silence*
Olivia-"laura mum"
Lucy-"oh shit, keira im so sorry, it will be okay just dont involve yourself with her? And no rumours can happen"
Keira-"i guess"
Lucy-"can you please eat something?"
Keira-"not now theres no time will later"
Lucy-"okay ill make sure you do"
They go to the gym so i go to the physio
Ella-"hiya, hows it going?"
Olivia-"uhm erm yeah uhm ok i guess"
Ella-"how far?"
Olivia-"coming upto 6 months"
Ella-"wow okay so i will do some scans  you might be able to get the brace off and just have a small bandage around the knee"
Olivia-"thank god! Although i quite like my brace its quite cool"
Ella-"i thought that to when i had mine but trust me once you have it off it feels so much better" i sit down and she does the scans "hows your excercises going?"
Olivia-"alright"
Ella-"are you doing them?"
Olivia-"sometimes"
Ella-"okay well do it now, have you ran yet?"
I shake my head
"Okay were here for 3 weeks so maybe we could get you running here"
Olivia-"really!"
She nods "right we can get rid of this brace now, of course you can keep it, if you feel any pain come back with the brace and we can put it back on for you because it might be your tendons havent strengthened yet"
Olivia-"okay" she takes it off and my knee feels so free "wow that feels nice" she laughs and puts the bandage up "does the scar fade?"
Ella-"slightly" she shows me hers "i did mine about 5 years ago"
Olivia-"oh"
Ella-"its nothing to be ashamed of, i quite like it, shows ive overcome a serious injury"
Olivia-"true i just" i sigh "i dont like scars from others i have"
Ella-"thats okay, this one isnt a 'bad' one though if you know what i mean, its just this is a 'good' one"
Olivia-"yeah"
I do my excercises and she lets me go, so i walk to the gym
Keira-"hey baba"
Olivia-"hey momma look"
I show her the bandage
Keira-"wooo"
Leah-"yesss liv!" Everyone looks at me and they all cheer
Beth-"wooooooo"
They hug me
Lucy-"well done babygirl"
Olivia-"thank you mum"
Sarina-"why is no one excercising?"
They all move out the way so sarina can see my bandage
Sarina-*she gasps* "oh my wow" she hugs me "im stealing your daughter lucy n keira shes mine now"
They laugh
Sarina lets me go and everyone works out again
They finish there gym session and go to tje training pitches so i sit out and watch them, me changing into shorts first, i sit photographers
I dont realise but theyve taken a photo of my knee and its everywhere that im just in a bandage
I silence my phone and focus on there training, the finish so now we have a few hours of chill time where the team goes back to there rooms and prepares themselves for game day, thats what we do, i go back and put makeup over my eye, luckily it covers it, mum and momma are both ready so we head to the coach, its now 5.45pm, theres only two seats per row except at the back so thats where we go. I let my mums sit next to eachother and i sit next to the window. We get there and i sit on the bench in my usual space. They warm up and then walk out, mum runs over and kisses my forehead while momma squeezes my hand like they always do. Kickoff, im sat next to lessi on the bench, the lineup is
