Their Obsession

Chapter 11

"Come on girl's, work harder" i hear Jonatan shout, making me do the last sprint at full force.
My legs feel like jelly as i walk towards the water bottles, attempting to re-hydrate after the pain he put us all through.
"Well done girls, i expect you all to work this hard at the game this weekend..." He begins to say before i unconsciously filter out his deep voice, a feeling of uncertainty and dread filling my body, making me shuffle uncomfortably.
My eyes trail around the group slowly, the feeling only getting worse as my eyes meet Lucy's, making me gulp harshly, a flashback of her weird comments throughout training filling my mind.

"Ladies, i expect to see clean passes as we complete this drill, it is an easy one so any mistakes will not go unpunished" Jonatan shouts, causing us to all to groan quietly, knowing todays training would be hard.
I quickly keep up with the other ladies, my passing becoming better and better as the defenders run around like lunatics, chasing the ball at full force.
I quickly pass the ball away before a larger body slams into mine, causing the individual to land ontop of me, a collection of 'ooos' being heard from the group.
"Oops" the individual says as they begin to get off me, meeting the eyes of Lucy Bronze.
"Don't worry Y/N, its not Daddy here to punish you again" she whispers as she gets off me and continues training immediately, leaving me sat there dumbfounded.

"Y/n....Y/n....Y/N!" Someone shouts in my ear, making me involuntarily jump and glare towards the person.
"What?" I mumble irritated as i attempt to walk off, just for Mapi to step in front of me, a pointed look clearly on her face.
"Sorry" i mumble as i feel myself practically shrinking at the look she is giving me, rubbing the back of my head, not knowing what to do now.
"Whats with the attitude?" She asks, a little more sympatheticly after my apology, making me release the breath i was holding in releif.
"I just, can we go?" I ask, an uncomfortable look clearly placed on my face, indicating my eagerness to leave training.
"Yeah sure, lets go find Alexia" she replies with a small smile, swinging her arm around my shoulder, pulling me in tightly as if i was about to run away.

"Ale!" Mapi shouts across the training pitch, indicating her need to talk to the midfielder.
Alexia's head shoots up as she looks towards us, a bright smile appearing on her face as she see's the sight of us.
However, this slowly fades to a look of concern as she runs closer towards us, noticing the clear tension.
"Whats wrong" she says as she looks towards me, causing my to immediately drop my head, looking towards the blades of grass on the floor beneath me.
"We need to go" Mapi replies, getting immediately to the point, causing Alexia to notice her seriousness and quickly reply that she is ready to go.

The walk to the shinny black car was quick but awkward, the soft sounds of our feet colliding with the hard gravel being the only sound heard, the silence almost deafening.
A gentle push on my back was all the indication i needed from Mapi to enter the car, my head hung low as she closes it, seeing my need to be in my own head in the moment.
Alexia began driving, weaving in and out of traffic at ease, knowing the roads of Barcelona for years.
I look out the slightly fogged up window, noticing the cars racing past and the people slowly walking to their destination, most with a look awe at the streets of the known city, clearly just visiting.

I hear the car turn off as i finally come to, noticing our arrival at the ladies home, one i currently wish i could call my own.
I slowly exit the vehicle, shufflingy feet towards the door and entering, the slightly warmer air hitting my face calmly.

"Y/n?" I hear as i look towards the culprit of my name being spoken, seeing both Mapi and Alexia standing in the living room, concern spread across both their faces as they stare directly at me.
I scratch the back of my neck awkwardly, feeling both their eyes on me, watching my every move like a hawk, as if i would disappear at any moment. I suppose i couldn't blame both the Captains of Barcelona, knowing my history of running away when things got hard. I had barley known the two individuals for a month, and already the knew the patten, showing the true reality of my life.
I gulp harshly as i look at the two, knowing that they are expecting an explanation, an explanation that they will not receive.

I look at the empty position at the end of the sofa and make a quick movement to sit on the comfortable cushion, closest to the exit for if i need it.
They both sit down together at the other end of the sofa, a disappointed but understanding look in their eyes.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Alexia asks carefully, not wishing to step over any boundaries i had firmly in place.
"D-do i have to?" I say, stuttering slightly, showing my unease in the complicated situation.
"Of course not mi amor, just whatever you are comfortable with" Mapi says with a gentle smile on her face, easing my nerves slightly as i release a breath i was holding.
I huff loudly as my mind runs on overdrive, contemplating the decisions in my head, not knowing how to express my feelings without saying too much.
"She just, said some things, I don't really want to talk about it." I say quietly, showing my nervousness.
"Who?" Mapi replies, a careful tone used to stay mutual in the situation.
"Lucy" mumbled, gaining an immediate reaction from Alexia, her standing quickly, her fists wrapped up in a ball tightly.
"I am going to kill her" she says loudly as she begins to storm off towards the door, her emotions clearly acting for her.

I stand eagerly to stop the captain, my hand resting on her abs as i hold her back slightly, stopping her in her tracks immediately.
"Please don't" i say, a pleading look in my eyes as i stare at her, awaiting her answer.
I see her eyes soften as she looks at me, the tension disappearing instantly as she calm's down.
"C-can we just cuddle" i say as i look towards Mapi momentarily, before refocusing on the older women standing in front of me.
A bright smile appears on her face as she softly nods and guides us towards the sofa, ensuring i was sat in-between the two taller ladies.
I rest my head onto Mapi's chest as my hand interlocks itself with Alexia's, needing to feel the comfort of them both.
I needed them.
