Will broken hearts find their way back to each other?

Lucy's POV:

"Lucy.. calm down." Georgia says.

"No I won't calm down. Who is Laura??"

Leah sighs.

"It's her girlfriend Lucy.." Leah replies.

"Oh."

"I guess you should call her then." I say.

"No- it's fine, if you want time with her.." Georgia comments.

"No. Just call her. I'm going to the toilet." I say, showing no emotion. I'm trying not to cry. I knew she had a girlfriend. But I didn't know it was Laura. Fuck.

Leah's POV:

"Do you think we should call her G?"

"I mean yeah, but what about Lucy?" Georgia replies.

"What about her?" I say.

"Come on. You can see it surely."

"See what- oh." I sigh.

"What are we going to do?"

"I don't know Leah. Clearly Lucy-"

"Clearly Lucy what?" Lucy asks.

"Oh. Nothing." Georgia says.

"Fine. Have you called Laura?" Lucy questions, folding her arms as she does so.

"No not yet Luce. Are you okay with it? You are looking a little pale..." I say.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just do it. Keira will be happier if her girlfriend knows she's not alright."

*Flash back* (Lucy's POV):

Shit. I can't breathe. I'm shaking. Am I having a panic attack? God I can't believe it. Keira and I are not even together. Yet, I'm acting like this. She's not good at all. I knew she would push herself but I didnt think it would go this far. It always goes far, but never this far. Never.

I just don't understand. What could have Laura said? Now the girls want her to come here. Is that what Keira wants? Keira might not want her there. I can't do anything to stop it either as the girls will think it's weird.

I stare into the mirror of the hospital bathroom. Tears fall down my cheeks, and the tightness in my chest won't go away. No matter what I did to Keira, I always want to protect her. Always. I will be there for her no matter what. I don't care if we don't end up together I will be there for her.

Actually, I do care. Somehow, I will get us back together. I don't care how long it takes.

*flash back over*

"G, Leah. Would you mind giving me a minute please?" I ask quietly.

"Yeah of course. Laura will be here in a few." Leah replies.

I just nod and they both had to the cafeteria to re fuel. Being in a hospital drains you. You would think it doesn't, but it does.

I hold Keira's hand and stroke it gently.

"What have you done baby? Why did you push yourself? You know this happens. I told you to speak to me when it gets bad, not push me out. You know, I told you when we were together, I will always be there for you no matter what. That's also meant I would be there for you even if we weren't together. It was never my plan to hurt you my love. It was never my plan. I can barely remember hurting you. But, your face will always be etched in the back of my mind. That face you gave me that night. I'm so sorry for everything. I am so, so, so sorry. Please push for me. Fight for me. I know you can do it. Even if you don't want to do it for me... you have so much to live for. God you are the best midfielder I know. Ha! Even better than G. Don't tell her I said that. You have Leah and G, your family, football. But most importantly, you have me. Please fight for us Keira. I know you can do it. You are strong, you are brave. Fight for me Kei. Fight for me."

"Why is your hand around my girlfriend's?"

"Oh. Shit. Sorry, I was just comforting her." I reply.

" I don't care what you were doing, she is my girlfriend. Don't ever let me see your hand around hers again. Do you understand me?" Laura asks sternly.

"Oh yes sorry." I reply shyly.

"Oh hey Laura, thank god you came." Leah says hugging her.

"I'm so happy I'm here. It's so nice to see you all." Laura smiles.

What a bitch. You've just changed your whole personality now that they are here. You know what. I'm going to do what you said I couldn't do. That will serve you right.

I sit down next to Keira, and stroke her hand again.

Laura instantly glares at me, sending death threats with just her eyes.

Psycho bitch.

Laura walks over to me with her arms open wide and a massive grin on her face.

"Heyy Lucy, I don't believe we've properly met."

I stand up and hug her to not cause a scene. I know your tricks, you snake.

"So nice to see you." I sarcastically say.

She leans down to my ear.

"You ever touch her again, I will make sure you regret it." She whispers.

Great. Not only do I have Ona to handle, I have this psycho to juggle too.

So sorry for the delay. I'm going to get out another one on Saturday to try make up for the lateness! This was also just a small chapter because the next one will be big. Think of it as a filler chapter :)

Also, hope you are all okay and have slightly recovered from the photo of Lucy.
( I haven't.)

Thank you all for your patience and support. I do really appreciate it. ❤️
