Sleep

Being the youngest on the team meant you always wanted to prove your worth to show you deserved to be here and would work hard for your spot as everyone else

Which no one on the team didn't think you deserved a spot on the team it was all in your head

When you arrive to practice you know you probably don't look the best having not slept the past four nights because of to much on your mind

Walking in Beth heads right to you

"Goodmorning sunshine" Beth says warmly pulling you in for a soft hug you hug her back leaning into the warmth

You were starting to feel so so tired

Viv came up behind Beth smiling at the view infront of her

"Hello little one" Viv says pinching your cheek jokingly

"Stop that vivy" you say swatting her hands away laughing

You walk off getting dressed for practice

As you walk off Viv and Beth share a worried look at the look of you

"Did you see her she looked drained" Beth whispers asking

"Yeah she looks worse than yesterday we might need to talk to the girls and intervene" Viv whispers back Beth nods agreeing

Beth makes her way across the locker room towards Leah and alessia while Viv headed to talk to Katie and Steph

"She looks worse Leah I know we said we didn't want to over step with y/n/n but we need to do something" Beth whispers to Leah

Leah looks over seeing you hunched over trying to tie your shoes but ultimately failing

Leah walks over and kneels infront of you grabbing your foot gently and resting it on her knee and trying your boot than switching to tie your other boot

"Leah i could have done it myself" you say looking down at her confused

Leah looks up at you with a soft smile in her face she stands up causing you to have to look up at her

"I know you could have sweetie I just wanted to help you because I care" Leah says brushing your cheek softly before walking away leaving you confused

Yes Leah has always been very protective over you but this was different than she had ever acted

You look up to see Katie and Viv talking very engrossed in their conversation to not notice you watching them confused than you see Leah and Beth chatting on the other side of the room also looking at you causing you to avoid eye contact

You turn to see alessia making her way over your way with a very stern look on her face you stand up and head the opposite direction not making it far because Lia snagged your arm stopping your hustle

Lia turns you to her and she eyes you looking at you in a weird way

"Darling when did you sleep last" Lia asks you feel your palms sweat almost immediately you didn't need them thinking you didn't deserve your spot on this team they could tell you weren't good enough for this team

Lia watched worried seeing you stuck in your thoughts with the state of you she feared the worst

Before she could ask any further questions you were interrupted by Jonas telling everyone to head to the pitch

You were the first out of the door rushing out of Lia's grip causing many of your teammates to look even more worried at you

Kyra ran off trying to catch up to you

"Hey y/n slow down what's the hurry" Kyra asks panting a little out of breath from sprinting to catch up to you

"I just am ready for practice to get started that's all ky" you say trying to sound convincing

Kyra looks at you with a smirk

Once practice begins you can feel eyes on you with every move which is only making you more self conscious of your every move and play causing you to mess up and over think every thing you've been doing

You hit the ground pissed missing the past three shots on goal

Katie stops and pats your back

"Hey breath darling just take a breather" Katie says softly before walking back off

After practice you were struggling to just keep your eyes open

You showered than headed to the team room for team bonding

You laid down on the couch resting your eyes for a second

Alessia finds you first wrapping you in a blanket to keep you nice and warm

Once you've slept almost an hour and team bonding was over they all were deciding on what to do with you

The group ended up deciding to let you keep sleeping agreeing you needed this sleep

When you wake up you aren't in your bed your in Leah's bed

You sit up confused

"Leah" you say confused

You head footsteps coming down the hall before opening the door

Leah walks in

"Hi honey how was your sleep" Leah asks sitting on the bed next to you

"Umm it was good why am I here le" you ask confused

"Well you needed sleep babe and when you fell asleep I wanted to bring you to mine so I could watch over you"Leah says brushing the hair out of your tired face

"Thank you really" you say quietly

"Of course dear I'm always here for you" Leah says

Later you and Leah end up watching a movie in bed together and you fall asleep on Leah which she takes a picture of and sends it to the group chat for them to know you are alright
