Since I posted on instagram everyone seems to know who I am, I couldn't even get my hair cut without being pictured by paparazzi. Me and Leah were stronger than ever, we were back in London still trying to find a puppy. Everything was back into place. Today Leah wanted me to go to watch Luke combs with her and a couple of the arsenal girls, I've never been big into country music but Leah loves it. So why not? Anything for that girl.
..... We got back home and it was amazing, even if I didn't know any of the songs. It was still fun. I see Leah smiling at her phone, I lean my head on her shoulder and see as she gets an email. "We've got a puppy" she says to me. I smile at her as she turns round in my arms. I kiss her. "We've got a puppy?" I ask quietly "We've got a puppy" Leah repeats I jump up and down in excitement. "When do we get it?" I ask "He's just been born 2 weeks ago" Leah says "So in 6 weeks" Leah says "When he's 8 weeks old" she adds "I know he's not a dachshund like we wanted, but he's sorta just like one" Leah says "What breed?" I ask "Cockapoo" she says, I smile hard at her, "I love you le" I say "I love you too" she says I kiss her. We go upstairs and change into some pyjamas and fall asleep in each other's arms.
We wake up and we were invited on a podcast with alessia and Ella. They started their podcast a couple weeks ago with vick hope and they invited us both on. We drive into London and find the bbc sounds studio. We see alessia and Ella. I hug them both and then we finally get sorted. I readjust myself on the sofa as Ella welcomes the fans into the podcast.
"Well today we've got some extra guests" vick says "We've got Leah Williamson and Amelia Gardner" she adds "Welcome" alessia says "Thanks less" I say "Thank you, it's always a pleasure to hang out with the best friends" Leah says and they laugh "Leah we will come to you, but Amelia how has the recent weeks gone" vick asks. I breathe and everyone laughs. "Mad" I say "You've gone viral. Your all I see on TikTok" Ella says "You enjoy seeing my face Ella" I say "Leah does" she says and I laugh. "No it's been insane, but I've enjoyed sharing my story. Because I was holding a lot of things in and yeah, I just needed to get it out" I say smiling She talks to Leah and then Ella and Alessia. "We've got some questions of the fans" she then says "If you could be any scent what would you choose?" She asks Alessia answers first "vanilla. I mean you can't go wrong with it" "I'd probably say coconut cause it's one of those things, many people don't like the like actual coconut but the scent is amazing" I say "So like they need to know you before they judge?" Alessia asks "Yeah" "I dunno I think I'd wanna be the Manchester United changing rooms" Ella says causing everyone to laugh. And Alessia to spit her drink everywhere. Talk about being clumsy Alessia Russo.
"Why the United changing rooms?" Vick asks as alessia stands up and walks out the frame to laugh even harder. "I dunno United is just me innit. Like that's how I was brought up bar playing for Man City for a while. But United is my home, I wouldn't be anywhere without it. And yeah" she says. Alessia walks back in. "So you wanna smell of sweat and bad shoes. Fine" Alessia says "Leah how about you?" Vick asks "I'm trying to work it out, maybe like I dunno. Erm like that holiday smell, you know when you step out the aeroplane" Leah says "So we've got basic vanilla and coconut and then the man United changing rooms and a holiday smell. Okay" Vick says
"What is your favourite colour?" She asks "Mines like beige" I say "Yeah I quite like grey" Ella says "Red, gotta be for arsenal" Leah says "Probably white" alessia says
"How do you get your confidence back after an injury?"she asks "Don't give up" alessia says "Make sure you still keep motivated" Ella says "I'd probably say, it takes time but as long as you have passion and the right mindset you should be okay" I say "Yeah, it takes time but you've got to look at the bigger picture and not just the negative things" Leah she's
We wrap the podcast up, we say bye to alessia and Ella and then we get home. I get on the sofa and turn the tv on, Leah comes over and comes into my arms. I hold her tight as we watch some episodes of stranger things. At about 4 Leah gets up and goes into the kitchen as she had a video call with Nike. I stay and watch the Sunderland academy train as they put it on YouTube so I watched Isabelle. Leah walks back in and smiles at me. "You good?" She asks me. "Yeah" I say "You?" I add "Yeah" she says
She comes next to me on the sofa and I wrap my arms around her. "How's Amerie and Olivia?" She asks. "I dunno, I think they're okay. I mean last time I spoke to them was like 2 days ago" I say "How's the arsenal team?" I ask "They're okay, we found out jens leaving" she says "She is?" I ask "Mhm" she says "I'm sorry le" I say "These things are football right?" She says "Yeah" I say
We go to bed, I wake up and Leah's not there. I knew exactly where she was, they had just travelled up to Manchester for the Man Utd fixture. I was excited to watch the match, for once. I take a photo and post it on my insta story,

I go through my day as per usual and wait for the match at 7:45pm. I sit down on the sofa and the match starts. It gets to 11 minutes and Leah goes down, her hand whacking off the grass. Shit.
