Mias POV:
I fell asleep with Kieran. From what I remember, Del put a lot of films on. And I was just too tired to watch any of them. Kieran obviously didn't want to wake me up. Because he was awake next to me.
'Morning munchkin.' He smiled.
I sat up.
'Why didn't you go to bed?' I asked.
'You were asleep on top of me.' He laughed.
I shrugged.
'Wake me up next time.' I laughed back.
'You packed?' Asked Dele coming downstairs and putting a case by the door.
'Sorry what?' I Asked.

'Your coming to Russia aren't you?' He smirked.
'I mean I can?' I Asked standing up.
He nodded.
'We all want you there, plus we can't stop your little romance now can we.' He winked.
I rolled my eyes but hugged him.
'Thank you.' I smiled running upstairs to pack my stuff.
I was done in about 20 minutes because I already knew what I wanted to bring.
I had a quick shower and got changed into clothes I already had lined up on my bed.

Dele helped me carry my last case downstairs and he threw it into the back of the taxi

Dele helped me carry my last case downstairs and he threw it into the back of the taxi.
'Careful.' I laughed as it hit the back of the boot.
He shrugged and got in the car.  We were meeting everyone else at the airport but we did have to wait for Kyle (Walker) to arrive. He was sharing our taxi.

Me: where are you? D is in a mood.

Walker: literally here. He always is. Ignore it. It's his time to shine Mia. He's probably so scared about doing the country proud, and protecting you.

Me: what does he have to protect me for?

Walker: don't act stupid. 

Yeah ok so maybe I did have an abusive relationship and maybe it went wrong. But that's over now. The real reason Del got as strong and as powerful as he did was to protect me. He would come home some nights and I would be unconscious. He would have to fight daily to keep me alive. A lot of the boys did.  Including Kieran, Walker and in fact Rashford. So I know what they mean. 

'Can I speak to you?' I asked Dele. He nodded and moved to the back of the car.
Luckily each layer of the car had sound protected glass. So they couldn't hear whatever was about to go down.
'What?' He Asked.
'Why are you so moody?' I sighed.

'I'm scared.' He Said looking me in the eyes.  I looked at him.
'I have the responsibility of making our whole country proud, and I only care about making you proud Mia.' He Replied.
'Are you kidding me? Your the coolest person I know. I'm always gonna be proud of you bro.' I Replied.
He nodded.
'What if Mia, someone says something, does something whilst I'm on pitch?' He Asked getting angry.
I shut my eyes.
And he rubbed my cheek.
He knew I hated it when anyone shouted around me. Particularly males. It just scared me.
'You know I will never raise my voice at you Mia Grace A, but please look after yourself, what if someone does something to you?' He said kissing my cheek.

I shrugged
'They won't.' I Replied.
I hadn't really thought of that. And he would be torn between me and his team.
'I don't ever want to put you in that position where you have to choose.' I Said sadly.
'And if I ever did I would choose you every time.' He Replied holding my hand.

I shook my head just as Kyle hopped in the car and Kieran drove towards the airport.
'Honestly, if anyone does anything you'll be the first to know.'
'Promise?' He Asked holding out his pinky finger.
I wrapped mine around his and put my head in his arms.

'Good luck.'
'Everyone will be proud of you, no matter what happens out there on that pitch, your a hero and you deserve it all.' I smiled up at him.  He smiled back and looked away.
'Stop it you.' He laughed.
