Beth's POV:

I wake up and rub my face. I'm going home today. I go have a shower and then pull on a pair of sweatpants, a white t-shirt, a hoodie and vans. I blow dry my hair and pull it into a ponytail. I smile and brush my teeth. I hear my phone beep, so I pick it up to see Viv texted.

From Viv

Morning, just wanted to say be safe driving home to Whitby, I'm about to board so I said I'll text you now before I have to switch my phone off x

To Viv

Morning, Vivianne! And I will. Be safe on your flight and travels! See you when we're back for training! x

From Viv

It's Viv, Beth but thanks x

To Viv

Vivianne, talk soon x

I find myself smiling and look in the mirror. Viv makes me happy when I need too. I head downstairs and pack the car. I then have cereal and coffee. I smile and lock everything up. I get in my car and smile. I begin the 4 hour, 53 min drive home.

Half way there, I stop off to get lunch. I decide to go into McDonald's. I sit down and enjoy it. Once I finish, I go toilet and get back into the car. I resume driving, smiling. When I get there, I will text Viv.

Once I arrive, I park and turn the engine off. I step out and grab my bags. I head to the door and knock. Dad opens the door and smiles. "Beth! Your home!" said dad. "Hi, dad" I said. I step inside and go put my bags in my room. I head downstairs and hug dad.

I take my phone out and smile.

To Viv

Hey, just arrived at my dad's. You at your parents?

From Viv

Yeah, just tired but we're waiting for food x

To Viv

That's good. I hope you enjoy your time at home x

From Viv

Same goes for you, Beth. Better go, food just arrived. I'll text tomorrow and Beth? Night :)

To Viv

Ok! Text tomorrow and night, Vivi x

"Who has got you smiling like that?" asked Viv. "Uh.... just texting Vivianne" I said, smiling. "Viv Miedema?" asked dad. "Yeah," I said, feeling my cheeks heat up. "Your blushing" said dad. I look down. "Yeah, Beth why are you blushing?" asked Ben, walking inside. "Viv" said dad. "VIVIANNE MIEDEMA YOUR TEAMMATE!" yelled Ben. I jump.

"Ben!" I said, looking at him. "You like her" said Ben. I go even more red and look down. "You do, don't you?" asked dad. I sigh and nod. "Yeah but I don't think she feels the same so I'll hide it. We're close now and I don't want to ruin it" I said, sitting down.

"Beth, please. She'd be crazy not to like you" said dad. "Dad! We're teammates and we dated teammates before and look what happened" I said. "Honey, you and Danielle, we knew you'd not last. You both were too similar, you needed someone like Viv." said dad. "Dad....." I said.

"Please, just listen. When you were with Danielle, you were happy but you were never happy, happy. I've seen you in videos and pictures with Viv and you have this smile, that shines so bright. Sweetheart, your mum would love Viv and I think you know that" said dad. I nod. "I know dad. I do. I just wish I wasn't scared" I said, looking down.

"And that's ok. Does Viv make you feel safe?" asked dad. "Yeah, she does" I said. "Does she make you happy?" asked dad. "Yes" I said. "Ok, so when is she coming home?" asked dad. "Around the 3rd January" I said. Dad nods and goes to the kitchen. Ben follows. I sigh and shake my head.

Then they walk back in 20 minutes later. "So, you ready to hear the news" said dad. "Uh, what news?" I ask. "Well, we know Viv's parents and we talked with them and well, we're going over to spend Christmas with them. They invited us and well, they know something and they want to help. So, hope you packed a coat" said dad. "Dad! Does Viv know?" I ask. "No and your not telling her. We leave tomorrow, we've also ordered a Dominos, also did you bring your passport?" said dad. "Yeah, I wasn't leaving it at home" I said.

I hug him. Once it arrives, we dig in and then watch the movie, Moxie. Afterwards I head to bed. I change into my pyjamas and slide under the covers. I smile and rub my face. I turn over and fall asleep, dreaming of going to the Netherlands tomorrow.

I like Vivianne Miedema and I will tell her.

But will they make it to the Netherlands?

Hope you enjoyed!
