Millie let's Alessia go who follows Lila

Lila goes to their room and into the bathroom where she locks the door and turns the tap on in the sink and the bath

⚠️ WARNING SH (SELF-HARM) ⚠️

Lila grabs her pen knife

Lila rolls down her leggings

She cuts her inner thighs twice, wincing each time and then her arm/wrist a few times

Lila: * has tears in her eyes and tilts her head back against the door*

Alessia knocks on the door

Alessia: Baby it's me. Are you in there?

Lila doesn't answer, trying not to cry

Alessia tries to open the door

Alessia: Baby please open the door, I know your not ok.

Lila doesn't answer again and doesn't move to open the door

Alessia sits down on the other side of the door

Alessia: I'm not going anywhere Lila. I'll sit here until your ready to come out. Ok? I'm right here. Waiting for you. And I'm not gonna leave.
Lila: * starts crying* I've done it again.
Alessia: Done what baby?
Lila: * sniffles and cries* Hurt myself.
Alessia: Open the door.

Lila unlocks the door and moves away, leaning against the wall, curled up in the corner

Alessia walks in

Alessia: Show me?

Lila shows her the fresh cuts

Alessia: * has tears in her eyes* Tell me next time you think about it.... Please?
Lila: * cries* I'm sorry.
Alessia: Don't be.

Alessia pulls Lila to stand up and then pulls up her leggings

Alessia: * hugs her*
Lila: * hugs back*
Alessia: Was this because of Leah and Chloe baby?
Lila: * sniffles* Partly. Yeah.
Alessia: * sighs and tightens the hug* I love you. Please tell me if you ever feel like doing this again.
Lila: I will. I'm sorry I scared you.
Alessia: Don't be. Never be sorry.
Lila: I can't help it.
Alessia: I'm banning the word sorry now.
Lila: * sniffles and chuckles lightly* Oh yeah?
Alessia: Yeah. Unless it's actually something to be sorry about then no saying it.
Lila: * breaks apart from her*
Alessia: * wipes Lilas tears away* Your beautiful. No matter how many scars.
Lila: * smiles* Even if I cut myself again?
Alessia: Forever. Now come on. You have a friendship to fix.
Lila: Don't make me go down there and face her again.
Alessia: I'm not. But Sarina will hunt you down if you don't. I won't leave I promise.
Lila: Carry me downstairs?
Alessia: Piggyback?
Lila: * smiles and nods yes*

Alessia gives Lila a piggyback downstairs and to the outdoor pitch where everyone is still waiting except Leah who is nowhere to be seen

Lila: Leah?
Millie: Left after Alessia went to find you.
Alessia: Probably mad.
Lila: Millie can you ref in her place? Did Sarina come back yet?

They all nod no

Lila: Ok. Then let's carry on.
Chloe: Are you sure you want to?
Lila: We need to fix things. I'm sure.

They carry on and both girls manage to patch things up with Lila forgiving Chloe and Chloe saying how sorry she was

They start having a laugh together and Sarina comes back with Leah

Sarina: I see you've fixed things.
Lila: Yeah we have. Thanks for pushing me Sarina.
Sarina: Your welcome.
Alessia: * hugs Lila from behind*
Lila: * smiles hugs back (not turning around) and leans against Alessia*
Chloe: * smiles*
Sarina: Get ready. We'll be leaving for our flight to Spain.

They all nod and go inside

In Lila and Alessia's room

Lila is sat on her bed, playing her guitar as Alessia packs her bag

(Lila already finished packing)

She starts playing Mind Over Matter (Reprise)

Lila hums along to the words

Alessia: * groans* Babyyy....
Lila: Yeah?
Alessia: * whines* I need help.
Lila: Ok Lessi.

Lila puts her guitar down and helps Alessia finish packing

Alessia: Your so hot. Honestly.
Lila: * chuckles* Is this your way of trying to get into my knickers?
Alessia: Is it working?
Lila: No. But you'll get your chance to have your wicked way with me once I've finished packing your bag for you babe.
Alessia: * kisses her cheek* Ok baby.

Alessia sits and watches as Lila finishes packing her bag for her

Once she's done Lila stands infront of Alessia
