today was the day we would be travelling home, to london. it would be sad to say goodbye to katies family, since the minute i have been here they have welcomed me with open arms and accepted me even not knowing what's going on between me and katie, that's a true family. these past couple days have been wonderful, they have took us around dublin, out to eat, and just overall made me feel like i belonged, I couldn't thank them enough.
"im going to miss you el, you will have to come see us again soon" sharon tightly holds me in her grip as she says her goodbye, whispering in my ear. "trust me, i will definitely be visiting you all soon, i have had the best time" i smile. sharon grab my face giving me a small smile.

i watch as my mum says her goodbyes to el, i love how they instantly connected, my mum is a great judge of character and for her to immediately trust someone as much as she did el, that says alot. once they finish she makes her way over to say her goodbyes to me. "come visit us soon katie, you make us all proud back here at home." mum smiles before hugging me. i hated always being away from home, then always seeing just on holidays. but that's life, and i love the work i do and the sacrifices i make, show it even more. "i will visit you whenever i can, thank you for having us both" i say pulling away from the long hug. "be good with el, she is a good one." my mum confirms, as if i didn't already know she approved. my mum hasn't always been approving of my relationships, actually she never has. she didn't like ruesha and we know how that turned out, im glad she approves of el. "I really like her mum, never like anyone else". "i can tell, she seems special, hold on to her" my mum hugs me one last time. "i will." i breath with relief after, pulling away from the hug.

once we say our goodbyes to everybody and load the boot up with our stuff. waving goodbye as we drive off. and that's it, we were gone.

"how do you feel?" i turn to katie, i can't imagine how hard it is not seeing your family a lot. my family live in london so i can see them pretty much whenever if im not busy with football, especially knowing and have seen how close katie is with her family. "tired, i can't wait to be back in my own bed" katie says. "you mean my bed" i joke as katie rolls her eyes. "-but that's not what i meant, how do you feel about leaving your family?" i ask, katies bear tunes to look at me. "um, well i guess i feel a little upset" she admits, this question didn't seem familiar to her, hence the awkward reply. "it's hard only seeing my family like twice a year, i miss them all the time" she says, i can hear the sadness in her voice as it starts to break, making my heart feel sore seeing her upset. "that's understandable, why don't we make some time at least one a week where we can both facetime your family, then every holiday we will make sure we visit?" i say, making katies head turn back to me once again, but this time faster. "you would do that for me?" she says, converting her head back round to me but still trying to keep her eyes on the road. i mean why wouldn't i do it for her? "of course, you seem surprised?". "it's just, my mum really liked you, you know?" she seems to change the subject, i can take a hint though. her past relationship, which everyone knows to be ruesha littlejohn. i can tell she probably didn't feel the same way about her family, or the other way around. "good, im glad" i smile, resting my hand on katies thigh. "she's never liked one of my girlfriends before, she thinks you're really special" she smiles, making me smile. the way she talks about her mum liking me, it warms my heart honestly . "she's the special one honestly" i laugh.

the walk of the airplane, walking into gloomy old england. now that christmas was over, there was bigger things to focus on. i was going to be hosting new years for all of the girls, the backyard will be all decorated as we watch the fireworks. plus, i was so looking forward to getting home and being back in my own bed in the arms of katie, just what i have missed deeply.
