I woke up. Everything came rushing back at me as the sound of birds outside woke me up in this stranger's house all I felt was just empty? Who am I meant to call I mean I looked at my phone to missed calls of Leah Tom my foster parents apparently and a couple teammates but Leah rang again and I answered "yeah?" I asked "where the fuck are you todays your signing day with the first time my team I know you went to a party last night" she yelled "calm the fuck down... I'm not coming Leah" I went to hang up "what do you mean you're not? This is the biggest moment in your career... I'm on my way" she hung up and I forgot she has my location, around 5 minutes later I heard beeping outside so I headed out hungover to fuck "can we just do the signing another day " I said as Leah went to interrogate me "what because your hungover" "no because stuff happened last night I need to figure out" "what happened? Did somthing happen... a boy" "don't wanna talk about it" I looked out the window "we don't have to do the signing today..." "thanks" "this Blake guy" "Leah" I moaned and she just laughed "Tom was asking about you last night," "good for him.." "alex don't be like that" "be like what? I don't know him" "you didn't know me" "difference you knew front the start and lied, I didn't even know he existed" she took me home "listen if you wanna talk about whatever happened... I'm here" Leah pulled up "yeah thanks.." I got out and headed inside and I just showered got changed before heading to bed
Leahs POV
I'm worried about her somethings happened I bet you it's that Blake boy? I have the fact she's living with her foster parents and not me like they clearly have done stuff to her and fucked her up but I wouldn't even dare to do anything but care for her so I called Tom
"Leah?"
"Tom this is about Alex don't think I would call you willingly"
"Fucking he'll calm down, what's happened now"
"She went to that party last night... somthing happened with a boy I can tell who is Blake"
"Blake Johnson? going down a dark path not very bright or respectful to staff"
"So you in school.."
"Shut up, let me know if you find out anything"I hung up as he annoys me his voice
Alex's PoV
The next three weeks was hard.. I barely got out of bed I started doing stuff to myself what I should notttt be doing "your going to fucking school!" My foster dad yelled as I haven't spoke to nobody to anything in three weeks including Leah especially her. But it was a battle until I basically got forced there where I walked threw the dawning doors I headed to my first lesson "well what the fuck are you staring at" I yelled at miss littler as she kept yelling at me "you are being disrespectful get out!" "No why am I leaving when you're causing the issue?" SLT came in "come on Alex" "oh my god will you all just fuck off mr jones followed me round the whole school and led me to mr Clark's office "what the fuck man." "Thanks sir," Tom said as he shut the door as he left "you need to calm down" he threw some paperwork on the table before standing in front of me leaning on his desk "don't tell me to fucking calm down you?" "You need sent home I'm calling Leah" "why oh my goddddd" I slouched in a chair "not in the mood for this school right and now your calling Leah on my first day back" "yes I am" I stood up and decided to go on a walk around the school he followed me but I managed to loose him then miss Sanderson the pot noodle head woman fucking found me "what is it about this fucking shit hole about the fact you guys can't leave me alone" "Alex I'm not leaving you alone until we talk about your arms also Leah is in the office"
Leah's PoV
I haven't had contact with her for weeks, when Tom called me I basically sped to the school just seeing her would make me happy. But then they told me about her arms and that she's swearing and being aggressive walking away from staff the usual but how do I talk about her arms to her? Like her foster parents won't do nothing nor her social worker but when I got in the office a social worker said my name "yes?" I responded "hi I'm Linda.. Alex's worker can we have a moment to talk" she asked "sure" I sat down next to her "listen I'm sure you have been told about the self harm and uncontrollable behaviour..the home she is in now isn't able to support her so we are moving her to Sheffield.. we have completely ran out of options" "Sheffield? No that's ages away she's my daughter don't I get a say" "unless you have custody.." "that's ridiculous she is staying with me then she can move back with me permanently" "you do know how much of a commitment that is miss williamson" "I don't give a flying fuck? she's my kid she isn't a commitment" "okay.. I'll do the paperwork have her she's no longer my issue" she walked out off the office and I waited for Alex to come. She came with Tom her blazer in her hand skirt way to high "Tom..hi Alex" I greeted them getting a small smile out of Alex and a pisssssed off Tom "she's suspended" he stormed off back into the school "damn he's mad" the pair of us laughed making our way to my car "I have somthing to tell you" I started the engine "I have full custody and your moving in with me like now" "what?" "Don't be so excited jeez." She didn't seem happy about it "it's not that.. just my friends and stuff" she made excuses "you can still see them" and I answered any more bull shit excuses only took us half an hour to get her stuff and settled in at ours but now is the time I have to talk about her arms to her she didn't wanna but I knew we have to "do you wanna tell me what's caused the three weeks of no contact.. your arms no football" I asked and we just stayed in silence as we avoided eye contact but I just looked at her the silence kept for at least five minutes "the party.. me and this sixth form boy was just talking we heads up stairs.. I was just tired randomly anyway I fell asleep.. woke up to us you know 'doing it' asked him to stop he didn't but yell at me and hold me down" my heart dropped knowing what she meant "Alex I'm sorry.. I wouldn't have made you say this if I knew" I felt terrible "it's fine... you didn't know" she is still avoiding eye contact with me "is it alright if I head to bed got the signing tommorow" "yeah of course, night" I said as she walked away from me

I barely slept the whole night
8 am
I got up from watching my phone all night and got ready for my first day with professional football at arsenal "hey leaving in 5!" Leah yelled from downstairs so i finished up my hair and makeup and headed down "let's go" she locked the door behind us and drove us to the training ground holy shit this is actually happening.. "beware of Beth and Katie, Katie knows about you Beth is just Beth but nobody knows except Katie yet " "sound" we walked inside and jonas got the papers signed photos done and that then we headed to a briefing room. I stood next to him with Leah as the room got packed full of recognisable players "okay settle down" he cleared his throat "this is Alex Williamson our new and youngest ever signing of 15 years old and I will let Leah deal with the rest" "why Leah?" Beth asked "because" Leah smirked "right.. we thought we would get the roumers and stuff out of the way yes Alex is my daughter yes I didn't tell any of you and yes she will probably kick all of your arses in a 1 v 1" the meeting ended and everybody canoe up to me and stuff generally nice in only a spectator today sooo "well hello there" Katie came up to me with Leah and this tall brown haired girl "how's everybody treating you" Leah asked "alright Beth's already interrogated me on where i was born and how long I played football" "ignore her, this is my sister lauryn she's a year older then you" Katie introduced her "you alright" she smiled but she kept looking at me as if she is checking me out as the 4 of us chatted "I'm gonna head out" I told our little group "where you going?" Leah asked "somewhere" "Alex," she sternly said before looking at me "I don't know I'll message you" "you better be back before 8 you have school" I ignored her and got a bus into town I stayed out pretty late and I soon headed home "Alex!" Leah yelled and I walked into the living room "it's 9" "so?" "I told you to text me what you failed to do and I also said 8" "my phone died" "your phones right here, lauryn dropped it off you left it" she held it in the air and gave it to me but as I tapped on the screen I seen a message from lauryn

I smirked "next time you're grounded alright?" Leah told me "yeah yeah" I walked to my room trying to think of a response back to her
