left in the shadows || a leah Williamson story

Part 3

Me and lauryn have been texting a lot hanging out in school over the next couple of weeks and also we train together and stuff  "hey!" Lauryn yelled as I swiped the ball from her in a 1v1 mini match she tried to chase me down but I stopped the ball turning and megsing her we are only having a bit of fun as training is over and Leah and Katie are talking "actually gonna kill you" lauryn tackled me to the floor and we started play fighting "Alex we're going!" Leah yelled and she got off me "ha!" I ran towards Leah as lauryn. Tried to trip me up but lauryn and I went into London Town

Beth is at ours, Home for 8 no later or your grounded!!-Le

"Wanna have some fun?" Lauryn asked me as we stood outside this bar "fuck it" we headed inside and we ordered a few drinks lucky there was no ID check "so what's your story? How come it was kept a secret your birth parents" lauryn asked clearly a bit tipsy as so am I "Leah had me at 15... I got put for adoption ended up in care I didn't know til this year about her and Tom" "shitttt" we did jager shots a lot of them notttttt a good idea "Alex come here" lauryn guided me out the pub With her hands on my waist as it's coming up to 11pm and we headed to a bus stop waiting ages for a bus and it's lashing down but we started dancing, she pulled me in by my hand and we are inches apart our faces both looking at each others lips but got interrupted by the bus pulling up. We both got on paying and headed upstairs it's a long journey back to our stops so lauryn let me lie on her, she has her arms around me just taking in that we are in each others presence but it's time to get off "I'll call you" lauryn told me but there is so much to say to each other just both of us stayed silence walking opposite directions "where have you been" I heard being  yelled  as I walked inside "with lauryn" I tried to act sober "well your grounded" she told me "what? You can't do that because I came home after 8 I'm almost 16" "well I'm your mother I make the rules" "mother? Rules mate cmon" "I'm not your mate now it's late go get ready for bed we have a match in the morning" she lectured me "for fuck sake" I mumbled going upstairs so I did what she said get ready for bed but lauryn left me a voice note

You probably got in shit with Leah I understand don't worry about calling me back, I just wanted to talk about earlier you know before the bus interrupted us... just know that I like you I really really do like you these past few weeks have made me realise that I knew you where special when we first met just don't text me or call me about this I understand that you probably don't feel the same way but if you do message and call me or whatever I will also respond don't worry not like you

I laughed at her sarcastic comment but this whole message just made my hear meltttttt

Wowwwww I see how it is, anyway yeah Leah did ground me and I do really like you to tomorrow after the match I'm grounded but we could do somthing if you want

I put my phone away and headed to sleep as I'm stillll kind of drunk

4PM EMIRATES STADIUM

It's about to kick off and I'm starting to  panic a bit the crowed erupted once I intercepted the ball and made a run for it I passed it over to Beth who caused a distraction so I ran into space  where she passed back I made it past the defenders and I just took a shot and scored  I fucking scored I am kind of in shock I guess? As everybody piled ontop of me I seen lauryn on the sidelines warming up celebrating  and the rest of the match was a breeze

End of the match

I walked off with the rest of the team to Leah walking up to me "so proud of you" she laughed hugging me  "that mean I can go laurynsssss because I scored" I asked "fine" she caved and I met up with lauryn "you did it" she hugged me in the locker room "I don't even know how"  I'm still s  at hocked myself "well let's get out of here"  we got the bus back to hers and we headed up to her room  "you wanna watch a movie" she offered "yeah sure" we both sat on the bed together and struggled to find anything to watch so she went on TikTok live and I was just on my phone "Alex say hi to Ella " "hello Ella" I looked up "wait who's Ella" I whispered "my sister" she laughed "ohhhhh" "that your girlfriend or whoever you won't shut up about lauryn" I blushed a bit as she said that "Ella shut up" lauryn barked at her before ending the live stream "you talk about me" "a little" she got embarrassed and tried to cover her face with a pillow but I moved the pillow

Lauryns POV

She moved the pillow away from me so I had to face her "why are you hiding lauryn" "because... Ella wasn't supposed to say that"  she smirked and climbed on top of me, Alex is skinny and a bit shorter then me  "say what" "say that I talk about you" "wowww slagging me off" I wound her up "am I now" she told me but she shoved me off her so I was lay down and she got on top of me and kissed me a couple of times actually we just carried lauryn paused for a minute to turn off the tv and light "lauryn what are we doing.. us" I asked "I don't know" she laughed sitting at the bottom off the bed so I sat up next to her "be my girlfriend" them words infecting the air between us "okay" "yeah" she smiled but we heard the door shut downstairs "Katie Alex come down here" we heard Kyra yell "Kyra?" We where confused and headed down to Leah Katie Caitlin Kyra "there's the love birds" Katie made a fuss  causing a few laughs within the group "right no just no" lauryn defended us "don't swing that way" meaning girls... we didn't wanna come out to everybody about it yet "what's wrong about swinging that way like everybody else in the room is" Kyra argued "nothing against it just don't" "ohhhh so your more of a dick take it get it" Caitlin joked "she's 15!" Leah scoffed "okay that aspect of my life will never be talked about with anybody of the team oh my god please change the subject" "okayyy let's play truth or dare" "yeah I'm going home sorry" I grabbed my jacket "yeah I'll walk you this is just sad" lauryn grabbed hers and we started the short journey "no way a truth and dare with them will be fun" I told her "exactly plus they are just gonna wind me and you up" she ageeed with me holding my hand "here we are" she said as we walked to my door step "thanks for walking me" I told her "no bother" she smiled but I went to turn round "come here" she spun me back round and kissed me goodnight  "night lauryn" I told her letting go of her hand " goodnight al'" she smirked and waited for me to go in the house before leaving  "and when I closed the door honesty the smile on my face did not stop  likeeeee the way today was so good
