That's not my fault. (Ella Powell)

You had just gotten to your girlfriend's house, the wsl season had just ended and you had a small. break before international break. You were excited to spend some time with your girlfriend before having to play again, you rarely got to see each other in person so you'd take any chance you got to see her. 

You played for arsenal and she played for bristol city, you were still both in England thankfully but there was still some distance. You had just arrived at her place, she knew you were coming. You knocked on her door once, she was quick to open the door. You weren't expecting a welcome home party, but a hug would've been nice. 

Ella just opened the door, and walked back to the living room. You were a bit confused, you figured she was probably tired from yesterday. She had played the full 90 mins. 

"Ella." you called out to her as you walked into the house, shutting the door behind you. "Mm?" ella mumbled and sat down on the couch. She didn't look at you, she. had her eyes fixed on the tv. "Are you alright?" you asked her. You walked over to her and she nodded, still not looking at you.

"Well...can i get a hug or a kiss..." you smiled at her. Ella looked at you finally, she walked closer to you and placed a kiss on your forehead. You could tell that kiss didn't mean anything, usually she's so sweet and intimate with you. You stared at her as she sat back down on the couch, you sat next to her and looked at her face. You were trying to figure out or read her face, this clearly wasn't how she acted. Something was wrong. 

"What's wrong?" you sighed. "Nothing is wrong."  ella was quick to deny.  "I know something-" you began saying. "Can you just leave it?" ella blurted out, cutting you off. 

"No." you said. 

Ella looked over at you. 

"You wanna know what's wrong?" ella asked you. "Yeah." you folded your arms. "I got relegated." ella said. 

You stared at her, you had no idea. You were too busy focused on yesterday match, which you won at arsenal. You felt like shit now, you had no idea how she was feeling and you walked up in there ina completely different mood. 

"I'm..." you shrugged. "I'm really sorry to hear that baby...i had no idea-" you said. "Of course you didn't....to focused on arsenal right?" ella raised an eyebrow. You shook your head in confusion, you furrowed your eyebrows not knowing what she was referring to. 

"You don't know what it feels like because you don't have to worry about ever being relegated. You are on a good team, filled with amazing players, they wanted you y/n. Now we're not even in the WSL." ella said rolling her eyes at you. 

"Listen, i'm sorry you got relegated but that's not my fault...why are you taking it out on me..."  you asked. "You don't get it stop trying to act like you're sorry- you're never going to understand what i'm going through." ella said looking over at you. 

"I know i won't. I know you're angry, but you don't have to yell at me for being relegated." you said. Ella looked down at her lap, she brought her hand up to her forehead and stroked it a bit, she sighed and looked up at you. "I-..I know i'm sorry..." ella apologized. "I'm really sorry...i'm just angry and infuriated...i worked so hard- all the girls did.." ella looked at you.

"Ella, baby, i know you're upset right now...but this is a push. This means you girls need to step it up, you're already amazing players." you placed your hand on her knee. "This gives you an opportunity to get better and improve yourselves..i don't want you to think this means you aren't a good player." you said. 

"You're a great player to me." you said.  "I'm really sorry...you're right...it means we need to improve the way we play.." ella nodded. "I'm glad you came.." ella looked at you. "I have some time before the international games..." you smiled. "We can do whatever you want to get your mind off it." you said.
