That night is a night that you will never forget , a feeling that you will never forget . The feeling of your own parents telling you to pack yourself a bag and get out of their house , leaving you to fend for yourself . The reason that your parents had decided to kick you out was because you had gone behind their back and trialled for the arsenal academy and with that getting in it . Your parents never liked you playing football , they still allowed you to do it though thinking it was only going to be a phase . A rather long phase as they liked to think . Now it had come to their attention that it wasn't just a phase and they weren't happy with that whatsoever .

You started off by staying around a couple of your mates house for a days at a time but it wasn't long before they started to clock on that something was up . So you had no other option than to get your own place but in london it came at quite a hefty price tag . You had searched for what felt like hours before you finally found a place which you could somewhat afford but with the lower price tag came with the fact that the area was rather rough .
You were also still having to work at every free moment you had to pay for yourself but there wasn't a lot of time that you had to give . Since you were still 16 you were still obliged to go to school and ofcourse you still had training pretty much everyday . Don't get me wrong i had thought about dropping out of school multiple times but that would only lead to me having social on my back . So i decided against it because i really didn't need that right now .

It had been a couple of months now since i had been playing with the under 18's and it has been really great . Although i am a couple years younger than the rest of my team i was still starting pretty much every game and even managing to score some goals . And after trying my hardest me and a few others from my team were asked to go and train up with the seniors and it felt like i was finally getting somewhere with football . I mean i know i was still young and had loads of time to get myself into the senior but the quicker i could start earning from football the quicker i could ditch this stupid job .

After the training session with senior's , jonas had contacted my under 18's coach asking me to come in and see him . To be honest i was petrified to walk in there , i had no idea what it was about since i hadn't been given any warning about it .
It turns out that i actually hadn't done anything wrong , actually it was the complete opposite to that . He told me that he was wanting to offer me a contract and once he had said that i couldn't believe it , i mean you were only sixteen and none of the other girls from your team had been offered a contract . Just you . But it was a dream come true since it meant that hopefully i could finally stop having to work and have more time on school and football .
The day had finally come for me to meet the girls and have my first training session . It had already been a couple days i had signed my contract but now came the hardest thing . Meeting the girls and if you were being honest you were bricking .
Your morning started off alright , you left the house at 7.30 and headed to get onto your first bus of the morning .
To make the morning worse as you headed onto your second bus it decided to break down meaning you had no other option that so wait it out until the next bus came along .
During the time that i was left to wait i came up with an excuse to tell both jonas and the girls the reason why i would be late .
I messaged jonas letting him know that " my parents car had broken down " and that i was having to take the bus which was causing me to be late . As far as jonas was aware i was still living at home with my parents , i mean i had to get a guardian to sign my contract but over the years i had getting very good at forging my parents signature so that was what i did .

I had finally got to the training centre , i was twenty minutes late but luckily the girls had not gone out to start training and they were all still in the locker room getting changed . Jonas quickly introduced me to the girls who were all very welcome and then before i knew it it was time to go and show off my skills . Prove myself more like .
In training i had partnered up with kyra who i had gotten quite close with in such a small space of time and i think that was because she was one of the youngest there even though our age gap was still quite a lot but we didn't care .
I thought training went great considering i had never played with any of these girls before , i felt as if i fit in with these girls perfectly .

It was currently lunch and i was sat on a table , squashed in between no other than katie and caitlin . Ever since this morning they have sort of taken me under their wing which i was very grateful for .
" so how come you were late this morning " katie piped up from beside me
" katie , that might be private" caitlin shouted from the other side of me
" no , don't worry about it i don't mind , it's just that my bus broke down this morning meaning i had to wait for the next one " i said , thinking that there is no point in lying to them .
" why don't we give you a lift home" caitlin asked speaking for the both of her and katie .
" that's really nice of the pair of you but you really don't have too , i mean i live quite along way away so i don't mind if you don't want to " i say but they both insisted that they took me home so now it looked like i was going to be forced to make up some more lies .

I put my address into katie's phone because i know that if i was too tell them the estate that i lived on that they would most likely not want to take me there .
As we sat in the car in near enough silence apart from the light music in the background , i watched out the window as we kept getting closer and closer and as we went along the roads of london it just got rougher and rougher.
It then came to my side off town and as the maps on katie's phone came to the stop they both stopped and turned around to look at me .
" so this you then " caitlin said whilst looking at some of the boys from my estate walking past the car .
" yep i said , thanks for the ride " i say whilst getting out the car .

" caitlin we can't just leave her here " katie said as we watched y/n walk into the one bedroom apartment.
" yh there is no way she is living there with her parents " caitlin said
That was all that katie needed to get out of the car and scream y/n's name across the street .
Once i heard my name being called , i turned around to see katie stood their signalling for me too walk back towards the car .
I did as she said , thinking that maybe she needed to speak to me for whatever reason.
" come on , get back in here we're not going to leave you here on your own " caitlin says whilst pointing to the back seat .
I thanked them both before heading back into my original spot in the back seat .

On the car ride , back to katie and caitlin house i told them a bit about my background. About the fact that my parents kicked me out and that i was having to fend for myself .
" don't worry about that anymore, you can stay with us for as long as you need " katie says which instantly brings a smile onto my face .
As we walked into their home to be greeted with coopurr who i instantly fell in love with .
Katie showed me into the spare room which was ten times nicer than my apartment that i had been staying in for last couple months .
And as i layed in the bed thinking about how lucky i was to have people supporting me .
I was stuck in my own head before i heard a knock at the door .
" come in " i shouted loud enough for myself to be heard .
Katie popped her head around the corner of my door .
" hey i just came in to say night " she said
" katie thanks so much for all of this , you don't know how much this means to me " i replied with a smile on my face
For once in my life i felt as if i actually had people to support me . Like a proper family .
