The golden child

Chapter 4

What Leah said last had me shocked. There was no way that she could be my my. She's so prefect how? If she was I needed to find out why.

"How do you know you're my mum?" I asked patiently waiting for a reply "when I was 16 my football career was just starting to take shape and I was in a relationship with a boy as I hadn't come out yet as many people were still very homophobic and I fell pregnant with you and it was a hard pregnancy, I didn't expect it and after I found out he left and after you were born on the 18th of April 2008 I knew I couldn't be a mum not then because I wasn't ready so a week after giving birth I handed you to social services and I have regretted that decision ever since"Leah replied with tears still falling down her cheek."if you regretted it why didn't you come to find me?" I asked" I thought that because I gave you up you wouldn't want me to be there for you I really tried but they wouldn't tell me until you turned 16 then it would be your choice" I felt bad for Leah but I was also shocked, the idol I have always looked up to was my mum? I wanted to ask more questions but I didn't want to upset her more than she already was. "Leah" "yes alexa" she replied quickly"I need to say something so can I say it without being interrupted?" I asked "of course go ahead anything " she replied " I was moved up and down the country to different foster homes and then I arrived at the one I'm at  now a few years ago however it's the worst place any child should be however my social worker Sandra doesn't show much interest in my foster placement as it's the only place I haven't had a complaint in but I need you to know that if I go back then I don't think we will see eachother again" I spoke with tears rolling down my face" alexa, i know this may be moving too fast but i want you to come home with me because I can't risk loosing you again" Leah spoke with her eyes glossing over from all the tears building up and that when I said " okay but you will need to speak to Sandra "and from that moment me and Leah Williamson or should I say my mum hugged.

Ava arrived back with alessia and I spoke to Ava privately explaining what had happened and she was just as shocked as me if not even more so and I said my goodbyes to her and that I will message her later. Arsenal knew about me however none of them knew that I was at that match and so when I went in the coach holding leahs hand people where confused. Beth mead was sitting in a booth that had four seats facing eachother and said to Leah " who's this" and all Leah had to say is " it's her Beth it's her" the coach journey was peaceful I sat next to Leah and fell asleep on her shoulder for the long drive back to St Albans where Leah lived.

A/N: this is a short chapter, just sorting some stuff out as I'm having my birthday celebrations this week and still a lot to plan! Hopefully another update later tonight :)
