(Leigh-Anne)

"Thank you for staying Leigh-Anne, I'm sorry about not letting you go with the girls but we needed to finish the match." Coach Jones frowned. I sighed, I really wanted to go with Perrie to see if she was okay, I almost beat the Romford girl to a pulp for hurting pez, just seeing her on the ground in agony made me cringe and want to hug her to tell her everything would be okay.
I had walked back to the goal to calm down, I was furious when the Romford girl stood me up, how dare her, I may be mute but that doesn't mean I'm a coward as well when it comes to my friends.
Cher kept me from punching the little bastard in the face thankfully, I could've gotten a card or suspension if I had. We ended the game 4-2, South Shields closing the game with a win thanks to a header goal scored by Delaney. Coach was pleased with my performance as well, the team seemed comfortable with me around, now only Perrie would've been here I would've been completely content, she was my first friend, she let me into this amazing footie team, helped me meet some lovely girls that became my teammates, I owe it all to Perrie.
"3...2...1...South Shields gold!" Cher and Lauren yelled, the rest of the team echoed them and we all broke up to get our things and go home. Before any of us left however, Cher and Delaney called us back. "Hey guys! I've got an idea!" Delaney gasped. "What is it?" Lauren asked, quirking her head to the side in curiosity, her green eyes sparkling. "Let's go visit Perrie! Like, the whole team, do you guys have too much homework? Or na?" She asked. The team started laughing. "My god Laney you didn't just say or na!" Chloe started laughing. "Oh shut up! Anyways, we really should go see Perrie! I think Leigh knows which hospital her and Jade went to." Delaney turned to me. I was texting Jade earlier and she told me they went to Southside (let's just act as if that's a real hospital ok? Deal :D).
I nodded showing them my phone. "Great let's go!" Chloe declared, the whole team cheered. "Wait." Cher was pretty smart. "What?" Lily asked. "Guys we don't have a bus." She giggled.
Right.
"Ohh." Cher turned red. "Aye you're a smart blonde aren't you babe?" Ansley slung her arm around her shoulders. "Oh I feel loved." The blonde Geordie pouted. "Aw Lansley!" Someone cooed, they both blushed. "Whatever!"
"And yes I may be the smart blonde now that Perrie isn't here." Lily smirked. I smirked as well then flicked the two upside the head. "Ouch!"
"Eh well." Lauren shrugged. "Let's take cars, I can take three." Delaney said while Mitch appeared by her side.
"I can take two more." Lauren added.
"Three." Ansley said. "Two you idiot." Lily whacked her arm. "Ouch! I mean two." Ansley yelped.
"Three." Cher said.
"Five." Sarah stated. I met her during practice, she was very laid back, also I heard someone say her parents are literally rich, she's got anything she wants basically. I figure I won't be surprised if she brings out some huge ford or something.
"Looks like we've got enough to take us all, let's go yeah?" Lily smiled. "Yeah, let's go! Defense you all are coming with me." Cher said. "Mary and Shianne are with us." Ansley called. "Leigh Cameron and Tyler with me." Cher said, I grabbed my bags and walked over to her with my teammates. "Chloe and Dana." Lauren said. "Uh, Riley, Shannon, Page, Callie, Victoria." Sarah said.
"Right anyone left?" Sarah asked once we all separated into our groups. "Good, stay with your groups and we'll be following Cher." She said. "Right, see you guys there." Cher said, I was anxious to go and see Perrie already, I want to see if she's okay. We all murmured bye's and headed to the car lot. Cher and Sarah led their groups up to the front of the lot, I chuckled quietly to myself seeing Sarah's six-person range rover, of course, the brunette blushed while the other girls whistled seeing the large blue car. Cher giggled when she noticed she was parked right next to Sarah. She unlocked her car and we slid in. Cher had a nice dark green camaro, it was very comfortable. "Leigh you have the address?" Cher slid into the driver's seat. I nodded showing her the name again. "Oh I think I've been there before, when I fractured my ankle." She said. I nodded, maybe she knew how to get there, I was new to the place so I wasn't going to be any help.
"Oh I remember that Cher! We went with you." Cameron chirped. "It's the one with the crabby desk clerk. The one I almost slapped in the face." Tyler marveled. Cher giggled. "Ty!" "Just saying." Tyler said seriously.
I listened to them then decided to close my eyes, this was how I passed the time when I was tired or just trying to relax. "You okay Leigh?" A voice asked and I opened my eyes seeing Cher watching me as she pulled out've the car lot, I glanced behind us to see multiple other jeeps, Mazdas, and BMWs following us then looked to Cher, nodding. She gave me a tiny smile and rested her hand on my knee. "She's gonna be fine, we'll see her soon right?" She comforted me. I nodded, of course she'd be alright. I was probably just nervous. I took Cher's hand and squeezed it in thanks. "Anytime Leigh." She murmured while turning back to the road.
I closed my eyes the rest of the drive, I hated watching the trucks and cars drive by us. It would bring back the memories from, erm-from before.
I listened to the girls instead, or focused on the music while Cher drove us to Perrie. I pondered in my own thoughts while we drove to the hospital, how was she? Had she broken her shoulder? Did she tear a muscle? Had she dislocated her shoulder?
Honestly I wish I punched the stupid Romford girl in the face, wouldn't have hurt ya know? Ok maybe that's a bit harsh but I'm just saying! She deserves at least something, not just a shove from me. She deserves to get a punch in the nose!
"Leigh." A soft voice spoke. Tyler was placing a hand lightly on my shoulder. I switched my gaze to her. "We're here pickle." She smiled softly. I nodded letting her know I meant well and exited the car following Cher inside. I heard the rest of the team arriving along with us and smiled. We were all going to suprise her. I couldn't wait. Cher checked in and soon enough we all rushed towards the elevator and down the hall leading to pez's room. "This is it guys!" Cher stopped us a door down. "Right, let's go!" Delaney whispered and someone pulled me to the back. I glanced up seeing Ansley give me a wink. "You're gonna surprise her." She whispered. I blushed and nodded, following the girls as they opened the door greeting the amazing blonde.
"Hey Perrie!"
"Pezza!"
"Baba!"
The team went to give her a group hug, I stayed back because I couldn't see her. Then I felt relieved when I spotted a blonde head in a sea of girls. She was perfectly fine apart from her shoulder. Everyone calmed down and pulled away soon enough, she was smiling like a Cheshire Cat then frowned. "Where's Leigh?" She asked. I would've swooned over her if I could, she was so cute! Thinking of others when she was hurt. I stepped out from behind Ansley. She saw me and smiled. "Leighly!" She cooed.
She gestured me over by opening her arms. I smiled slowly making my way over and ending up right next to her. "Leighly! You're here!" She squeaked wrapping her good arm tightly around my waist and pulling me close to her. I smiled signing 'I am' to her. Feeling her arms around me made me smile, she was going to heal up and be better, and I was with her, she was sitting in my arms, I know she's going to be fine.
The team had begun to chat, Perrie was more than overjoyed that we came, I was going to come anyways even without the team but this was a wonderful surprise for her, I'm glad they tagged along. "Thanks for being here baba." She smiled widely at me.
I blushed hugging her gently. I wonder how I became so easily attached to Perrie, ever since I landed in South Shields I didn't feel lonely or excluded, Perrie had gotten to know me along with Jade and had carefully integrated me into their wonderful group of silly friends, along with the school footie team. And that's way more than I could ask for to happen honestly. For the rest of the visit we all stayed with Perrie and signed her little sling, she'd dislocated her shoulder. After a while longer I had everyone go home apart from Jade, who was standing with this girl I'd seen before, well she looked familiar but I don't exactly know who she was. "Biscuit did you introduce them properly?" Perrie asked once everyone else left. "Oh! This is Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Leigh, this is Jesy Nelson, I met her the night Sam and I split." Jade snapped out of her and Jesy's conversation. "Nice to meet you Leigh-Anne." Jesy gave me a small smile, I remember her! She is from the mall encounter! I smiled back and squeezed her hand in welcome. "Aw she's adorable." Jesy smiled at me, causing me to blush. Well, the perks of being me? Haha no, anyways, Jade smiled at all of us and cuddled into the tall brunette girl's side.
"She likes Jadey! I'm glad because she seems like an amazing person for Jade!" Perrie whispered to me while Jade was giggling from beneath Jesy's arm. They were locked in a pretty deep conversation about Peter Pan and the lion king (weirdos). My eyes widened. Wow! That's amazing! And judging from the fact that Jesy was the girl I ran into at the mall to now she seemed rather pleasant. She gave me a good impression the first time we met. And watching Jade smile is making me think she's gonna be a pretty good decision for Jade, maybe Jade even likes her back, I mean the fact that they're flirting and giggling is adorable. Heck they sort of already looked like a couple anyways. "Just observe the cuteness overload." Perrie whispered making a fake gagging noise under her breath. I smirked good-naturedly at the blonde Geordie while smiling at seeing how Jade and Jesy were getting along so well. Maybe this was going to be the start of something wonderful, Perrie and I will be by her side throughout the whole thing because that's what the best of friends are for, oh, along with a side of nachos too, haha.

----------------------------------------

Here's an update for all of you guys, sorry I've been so busy with test prep for the end of crap tests and whatnot, also we have more tests after those! We have finals! >:( what the heck?! It's such a waste of time, gosh I'm done with school -.-

Also on a deeper note, two beautiful girls rose to the heavens above recently, they fought as hard as they could but sadly the bullies had the upper hand. Emma and Cara are in a better place now, but I swear those monsters who caused the end of their lives will be forever paying a debt they'll never be able to fulfill, and that's really not okay, they should've lived before they graduated from the earth's surface, it was too soon.
The rest of you who have insecurities don't take it out on another person, we're all the same, we're all human, our social or economical statuses serve as a simple cover. But we all don't like at least one thing about ourselves, our face, our thighs, our hair, anything, but do try to learn and love yourself. If someone tells you that you're fucked up you can't just believe that, their opinions about you aren't superior to how you view yourself, because they're not you.
So look at yourself somewhere, your phone screen, mirror, car reflection, and smile.
Smile because those freckles do look fine on your nose, maybe that scar on your lip is adorable, you never know how many people really want your amazing hazel eyes, and hell yes your eyebrow game is strong. Smile because it's you and not someone else.
Love yourself like others love you.
Goodnight, sorry about the rant but I want everyone to at least know, because you deserve to be happy, others are nothing, you're the ones who make the decisions for you, not some random guy off the street, you.
I'm not suicidal or depressive, I'm not going to turn to that either, and I'm not being a selfish ass about this either but I am proof of this, I didn't like how I looked before, my hair and thighs, I didn't like it, but I've learned to accept who I am, I like my hair, and my thighs well I play soccer so they're pretty strong, I've been called ugly before, unfortunately I couldn't have given a single fuck about it, because I didn't care, it's kind of hard, but once you pass a certain level you're good to go.
So with lots of love I'm gonna go to sleep now. I hope you guys enjoyed the update.
Night <3
