Y/ns pov.

'Leah, when's everyone gonna be here?' I shout to my childhood best friend.

See, I signed for Arsenal earlier today, and Leah has invited the whole team round to meet me since I'm living with Leah now.

'About half an hour, don't stress too much, you know most of them.' She tells me, walking into the living room with my two year old son, Harry, in her arms.

Harry is from a previous relationship I had with a girl I met wilst playing for City. Her name was charli. We met in a guitar shop and after about a month of being friends I asked her to be my girlfriend. After dating for three years, we decided to adopt Harry. I was happy, probably the happiest I'd ever been. Then, about six months ago, I caught her cheating on me. I kicked her and the whore she was fucking out of my house. Now I'm in London looking for a new life.

I'll tell you now, being a single parent is so fucking hard. I've had to calm down a lot in these past few months to make sure my son doesn't learn any bad habits from me, but that hasnt been going too well. Apparentlyyou can't let a two year old watch Benidorm. It's not like he's gonna remember any of it. When me and charli were still together, I could still be my childish self because I had someone to tell me when I was going too far. Now that I don't have that, I haven't been able to be myself for a while, and it's mentally draining me.

I love Harry. He is my entire life. I always wanted a kid, but I never expected I'd be single when I had one.

'Le, I'm not worried about me, I'm worried about Harry. He can be a bit chaotic. He's just like me.' I tell her.

'The fact that he's like you is incredibly worrying.' She jokes, but there is a hint of seriousness in her voice.

'Hey.' I smirk, taking Harry from Leah's arms.

'I'm not wrong. Look, I've seen how much you're stressed out looking after him on your own for the past few months and how much you've had to calm down after Charli. You're not on your own anymore y/n/n you've got Arsenal, you can relax a bit and get the real you back.' She rests her hand on my shoulder and tells me sincerely.

'The real me ain't the real me anymore Leah, I can't fight people when they annoy me. I can't swear in every sentence. I can't do anything I used to because it's not good for Harry. Also, imagine if Lucy found out my kid learned how to swear.' I say, turning it into a joke at the end.

'Yeah, you'd be dead.' She chuckles.

Ever since I first signed for City, Lucy has been like my mother figure. My mum wasn't ever really good at being a mum, and that's why Lucy is so protective over me. This also means she is one of the many people that scold me when I've done sommat wrong.

'But in all seriousness, I know you miss the old you. You can be that again, I'll make sure you don't take it too far.' She tells me.

'Great, another person to scold me.' I smile sarcastically.

'Yes, another person to scold you, and I'm sure a few of the girls would love to join the club too.' I roll my eyes.

'Thanks, Leah, I appreciate it, I really do.' I sit myself and Harry down and turn on the tv.

Another thing that's thrown me off as a parent is that I can't watch anything I want to watch. There are so many movies and TV shows I want to show Harry, but Lucy told me he's too young to watch any of it. The only thing I've been allowed to show him is power rangers, and to be fair, he absolutely loves it.
