Aitana Bonmatí x Lilia Williamson

- Why, Why, Why? -

Lilia wakes up to Leah bursting into her room

Leah: Up. Now.
Lilia: * groans* Five more minutes.
Leah: No Lil, it's 8:30 we have training at 9:30 today. Get up please.

Lilia sits up

Lilia: What day is it? Like the date?
Leah: The 18th of July.
Lilia: Oh shit.
Leah: What?
Lilia: Todays the day where I need to make a decision about where I'm signing.
Leah: Oh. I hope it's Arsenal.
Lilia: I have offers from everywhere it's not always gonna be Arsenal for me, Le. You know that.
Leah: I know but I like having you here. You fit in so well.
Lilia: We're just gonna have to find out.
Leah: Yeah. I'll love you no matter what though, you know that right?
Lilia: Yeah I do.

Leah and Lilia get ready and then head to training

They walk in and are greeted by Jonas

Jonas: Hello girls. Lilia can I speak to you in my office please?
Lilia: Yeah.

Leah goes to the changing rooms while Lilia goes with Jonas

They sit down

Jonas: Now, have you made a decision about who you'll be signing with?
Lilia: I think I have...
Jonas: And?
Lilia: I want to sign with Barcelona.
Jonas: I understand, good luck, remember our door is always open for your next offer. Go and train, the papers will be sorted and the dates will be sorted as well. I hope you find Barcelona feels like home like it has here.
Lilia: Thank you Jonas, you've given amazing opportunities and I'm grateful.

Lilia goes to the changing rooms, thinking to herself that she'll tell the girls later once the plans have all been sorted

Leah is immediately on her case

Leah: Well?
Lilia: I'll tell you later. Once things are sorted. I need to do this myself first.
Leah: Ok. Tell me when you're ready lil sis.

They go to the outdoor pitch and get to doing some drills, doing passing drills in pairs along with shooting and dribbling drills

Lillia is paired with Alessia

Alessia: So you signed with anyone?
Lilia: Yeah I've made a decision.
Alessia: And?
Lilia: Please keep it to yourself for now?
Alessia: Of course.
Lilia: I chose Barcelona.
Alessia: That's amazing, Lil, I'm proud of you.
Lilia: Thanks Less. But please keep it to yourself I haven't told any of the others yet. I haven't even told Grace.
Alessia: I'm sure she'll be proud of you too.
Lilia: What if she hates me though? I mean... she was mad when I signed here because I had an offer from Tottenham as well.
Alessia: She won't be mad, babes. If she is just give her time, she loves you, you're her best friend, that won't change.
Lilia: Thank you Less, seriously.
Alessia: It's no problem.

They continue training

A few days later

Everything has been sorted and Lilia has found a flat/apartment to live in and has already had help from Leah with packing and Lucy and Keira have gotten her new things for the flat/apartment etc.

The only person Lilia hasn't told is Grace

It's Lilia's third last night in the UK and she decided to have a sleepover with Chloe, Lauren, Leah, Alessia, Ella, Grace, Beth and Katie

They're all cuddled up on the sofa and floor watching Tangled

Leah: You know I'm gonna miss this.
Lilia: Miss what?
Leah: You being here with us.
Grace: What do you mean?
Lilia: * sighs* Less pause the film a minute please?

Alessia pauses the film/movie

Lilia turns to Grace

Lilia: * sighs heavily* You were gonna find out eventually but I wanted to wait for the right time, because I was scared I'd lose you. I'm moving to Barcelona, I've signed with them for a few seasons.
Grace: What?
Lilia: Yeah.
Grace: You can't be serious.
Leah: It's true, Grace.
Lilia: I'm sorry, Gracie.
Grace: I'm going to bed. Night girls.

Grace then goes upstairs, she's sharing a room with Lilia, Alessia, Ella and Chloe

Lilia: Your sharing a room with me. You can't ignore me forever.
Grace: I can and I am.

Grace then stomps upstairs and slams the door

Lilia: * has tears in her eyes* I knew it. She's gonna hate me now.
Alessia: * hugs her* She doesn't hate you Lil.
Leah: No she doesn't. She just... doesn't want you to go. She's gonna miss you like crazy. So will the rest of us. Barca's lucky to have you.
Lilia: * sniffles and leans into Alessia* Thanks.
Beth: I think we should all get some sleep. Come on.

They all head up to bed

Grace ignores  Lilia
