No use apologising

Tw- sensitive

*Hi everyone that reads this book :)
I just thought I'd say that I'm sorry for the long time without updates I'm just not in a great place right now with my injuries, exams and my current situation so sorry if my writing reflects that a bit.
Hope everyone is ok and doing well <33
ALSO on a more important note- how is everyone taking the news that Viv, Sabs and Kaylan are leaving Arsenal?? I am in such shock I cried.
Hope everyone is enjoys reading this and if anyone has any ideas like literally anything please PLEASE leave a comment it's such motivation to keep writing ♡ *

Liv's POV

I can't describe the panic that rushed through me when I stepped into the hospital room.

My gorgeous, sweet, funny girlfriend lay down staring at the ceiling. Her blonde hair having grown out since I was first introduced to her, now more than half her head is dark brown. Her hair is frizzy and greasy, she has a look about her that implies she hasn't slept properly in a while and her skin is very pale, highlighting how blue her eyes look.

I feel a tear roll down my cheek but I need to stop it. I have to be stronger, Gracie needs me to be. I step further into the room and I'm met with a pair of arms wrapping around my shoulders.

"She's going to be okay, Liv, I promise" the voice says. I quickly identify this person as Beth Mead. "She's not really said anything but we haven't left her alone since...we have been here all of the days. She has our full support but i think she really needs you right now"

"I'm such a shit girlfriend" I whisper. "I left her alone at her worst- and I didn't even realise she was feeling like this"  Beth's grip on my shoulders tightens.

"You did nothing wrong and it's no one's fault. You can't always tell when someone feels like this. Unless they say it directly or they give off obvious signs you just don't know. And this is... she really isn't well, Liv. She's been here for three days but the hospital want to keep her here for another three days to monitor her and they'll talk to you about other help"

I just nodded. Gracie hadn't even acknowledged my presence in the room. She just sat there staring into the abyss.

Flashback - Gracie's pov

*All dialogue is in Italian I'm just not bothered to translate all of this ;)*

I bit my tongue. What the fuck were we talking about?

I stare at the board. Nothing made sense and yet everyone else was happily scribbling away. I look down at my page. Why are there letters? It's maths. This makes zero sense. I can feel a wave of embarrassment settle on my face as the teacher sees me staring with a confused expression.

"Gracelyn can I help you?" He said. Fuck off.

"Erm" I replied back, feeling my face grow hotter as the other girls turned to me. I heard people whispering. 'She's so thick honestly can't even do this.' 'What's her deal?'

"Why don't you come up to the board and solve it, then?" He said with a horrible smirk. He was actually evil. I shook my head.

"No thanks, sir" I said back as quietly as I could.

"What?" He asked, a tone of annoyance flooding my ears.

"I...I don't want to" I said back a bit louder.

"You hear that girls? Gracelyn thinks she's better than everyone and can pick and choose when she participates in this class."  Bea reaches her hand under the desk and places it on my knee. She tries to get me to meet her gaze but I am not focusing on her right now.
"You don't have a choice, get up and solve it"
