Chapter 2 ~ Sick Day

I woke up this morning not feeling great. I had a massive annoying cough that just won't go away and a thumping headache. However, Ma is still going to make me go to school. I hide my head under my pillow and let out a loud sigh. Ella comes in as usual every morning to make sure I'm awake, Ma orders her. "You okay Ava? What's wrong" She asks me, I love Ella so much. "My head hurts so bad, I just don't think I can go in today" I say, hoping I'll be able to get the day off. Ella is working and my Ma and Caitlin is training most of the day, so I'll probably go to the training centre and chill. Normally I would stay home, but apparently I have to be kept an eye on more often now. God knows why. "I'll go get Katie then wait here" She says, I nod and watch her leave. "What's wrong Ava" Ma walks in and says, as she comes to sit over on my bed. I sit up and hug her while resting my head on her shoulder. "I feel as if my body is going to shut down please don't make me go in" I tell her, literally saying the truth. "You can come with me and Caitlin to training, wear anything okay?" She says as she comforts me, it makes me feel a lot better mentally but definitely not physically.

As my Ma and Ella leave my room, I decide to try and attempt to get out of bed to find a comfy outfit to wear. My plan quickly comes to a stop when I see that my boyfriend Theo has messaged me. I haven't told him I'm not coming in yet. Normally we pick him up on the way.

Theo🤍

I'm so sorry Theo I'm not coming

It's okay don't worry🤍x

I get changed into my essentials tracksuit and decide to put my grey adidas campus 00s on as well. I decided to put my hair in a slick back ponytail so it's out of the way and looks neat. It also goes well with my outfit. I head downstairs and I'm met by Coopurr who wants to be petted. "Aww hello my boy" I say and laugh as he tilts over on his back, wanting his stomach to be rubbed. "Ava come here, take thid paracetamol" Ma says, I never take paracetamol, like never. I don't even think I can swallow a tablet, which is quite concerning as a 14 year old. "Ma I've never swallowed a tablet before" I tell her, she just laughs and gives me the glass of water alongside with the tablet. I gulp down the water and place the tablet in my mouth, take another sip of the water and poof, the tablet is gone. "Wait so it's actually gone?" I say with a confused face, because it really is confusing to me. Like how does it know where to go in your body? "What do you think dummy" Ella says while they all laugh at me. I throw them all a dirty look as a joke, and go to put my coat on as it's quite miserable outside.

We all got in the car, Ma driving with Caitlin in the passenger seat, and me and Ella in the back. It didn't take us long to get to the training centre, but we had to drop Ella off at her work. She works in a small cafe since she moved to London. It was quite nice actually, we've been there a few times. "Bye guys, hope you feel better Ava" She says as she got out of the car, we all said bye and continued to drive to the training centre.

Once we arrived, I got out of the car but decided to leave my coat in the car as I didn't think I would need it. We was met by Alessia and Kyra as we walked into the centre. "Just sit there while I put my kit on alright?" Ma says, while I sit down on her cubby scrolling through Instagram. "Right" I say.
"Hey Ava why don't you come physio with me?" Teyah says, she's like a third mum to me. Obviously with Caitlin being my second mum. "Yeah alright" I say, getting up from my Ma's cubby and walking out with her. "You okay, why aren't you at school?" She asks me, I knew people were going to ask me this to be honest. "I don't feel well, my head and throat was hurting really bad this morning." I reply, while adding a cough to the end of it. Teyah is almost back on the pitch after her tragic ACL injury, so she's getting taped up to go train. After she's all ready, we go back to the training room which just has Caitlin in. "Cait I'm hungry I haven't had anything to eat yet" I tell her, as I rub my eye from the brightness of the light. "Hmm okay how about I take you to the cafe so you can chill out in there?" She asks me, I nod and she reaches out to hold onto my hand while smiling. There was nobody in the cafe, so I had a lot of tables to choose from. "Here you go this should be enough for you to buy something, training won't be long as we have to travel up north tomorrow" Caitlin says, handing me £10. "Wow thank you Caitlin, see you later" I reply, smiling as she walks away in her training kit.

I spend an hour eating some fresh fruit and toast while everyone is training. It's around 11am now and I can see them all coming in through the window, so I decide to head over and give my ma a hug. "I missed you" I say, as she kissed my forehead and smiles. "We're just going to have a team meeting now, you can come with us before we head off" Ma says, I nod and follow her into a room that says 'Meeting Room 1'. In the rooms there's a lot of chairs and a projector, which I'm guessing they read tactics off. I've never been in here before, so it's quite unusual. I sit in between my Ma and Teyah before resting my head on Teyah's shoulder.

The meeting lasts for about half an hour, and I'm not going to lie it was pretty boring. It turns out the team are travelling up to Liverpool today to play Everton on Sunday. I'm not sure why they're travelling up today, but I'm luckily going with them. It's my first away game this season, so it's quite exciting.
