It had been a few days since we had got back from Munich, training was good as were all the girls. Me and Katie had gotten closer, every time we talk I have this funny feeling in my stomach, but I just can't stop being around her. I feel like I was starting to develop something with her, but I could never admit it. I knew she would never feel the same way anyways no matter what, we are just friends.

I was pulling up to training, being met with a really happy Beth. "What's got you all perky this morning?" I yawn to Beth as it was still rather early. "Viv took me to Starbucks!" Beth grins as I turn to see the tall brunette walks behind us looking tired, oh how I felt for her. "So, Ellianna.." Beth began, this did not sound good, whenever Beth used that tone I just knew something was up. "yes, Beth?" I say. "if there was something going on with you and Katie, you would tell me, right?" She asks, what was bringing this on? "i guess, what makes you ask?" I question, raising an eyebrow whilst Beth had this slight smirk. "you just seem really close, and the way you look at her like she's the only girl in the whole stool which is full of girls!" She giggles , leaving me to sigh which Beth instantly caught. "Oh my god! There is so something going on!" Beth shouts making me jump to her. "Beth! Shhhh" i hush her as she jumps back a bit, murmuring a small sorry. "fine, i will tell you" I reluctantly say. I tell her from how she helped me out, about the initiation song and everything, her nodding at everything taking it in. "you sang a song, intentionally for the girl 'you hate' or so you say?" Beth says, raising an eyebrow. "well, when you put it like that." I say causing Beth to chuckle a little. "Ell, I don't think you want to hate her anymore." Beth says, this sudden dilemma changing inside her as she became so serious. "oh god, i like Katie!" I stated causing Beth to squeal and grab either of my shoulders. "don't worry, this stays between us" Beth promised as our pinky's interlocked.

Training was light, we had a game on Sunday against Man City, I hoped Jonas would consider starting me but again it was only our second match. Every time Katie tried talking to me I completely shut her out, I don't know why I did. I definitely feel something for her but all she sees us as is just friends. Something nobody knows about me, other than Mapi, was my past relationship. Me and Ona battle, you probably know her as the Barcelona defender. We had been dating for two years which for us was quite long, she would always flirt with women and men infront of me just to get a reaction. The whole relationship was toxic; she would always leave me right after having sex, she would never meet my family and half the time she was cheating on me, until I finally stood up for myself she turned all my friends against me and told them that I was the one cheating on her! Thankfully they all forgive me now but they still don't know the truth which hurts as they all still think of me as a 'cheater' which I'm not.

I think that's why I shut Katie out, but it's not like she would even care, right?

I was walking out of the training grounds until I feel a hand placed on my shoulder, turning me around to face whom ever. "Ellianna, why have you been ignoring me all day?" Katie questioned, she had this dull look on her face as she slumped her shoulders, avoided all eye contact and ringed her hands, I felt awful for making her feel this way, but I just couldn't tell her, not yet.

"im just cansada, that's all" I replied, making Katie's eyebrows furrow and the wrinkles aligned across her forehead. "cansada means tired, sorry." i exclaimed, completely oblivious that i was speaking Spanish. "but you was fine with everyone else, have i done something?" Katie mumbled almost quiet enough for me to hear. This made me feel even worse, now she was blaming herself and it was all my fault. "you haven't done anything hermosa, i just need some rest" i revealed with a small smile across my face, brushing the hair out of Katie's face whilst doing so. I can see the relief leave her face as she nods her head. "good." she smiled. I turned to walk back to my car as she grabbed my wrist. "maybe some time we could hang out, if you wanted to?" katie offered, i played it off cool with a little; "sure, i would love that" but in reality my heart was racing, i was fighting back having the cheesiest smile over my face, katie wanted to hang out! only as friends tho i assumed. "great, il message you" she said before continuing. "goodbye, el" she whispered in my ear, pulling me in for a hug. Being in Katie's arms brought back so many memories, as i felt her heart beating against mine, the smell of her perfume and freshly washed hair, i really could get used to this.

"goodbye, amor."
