Only you/Jesse Lingard (C)

Sworn to secrecy

Mias POV:
I thought I recognised that guy.
I walked back inside and put one of Deles oversized English tracksuit on. I put my hair in a bun and grabbed a drink.
The boys were lined in the tunnel ready to go out.

'Good luck boys, ignore them all, pass, shoot, use the space.' I Said. They nodded to every word.
'No matter how angry you get, please don't fight.' I Said squeezing Kieran's hand, making my way down the line.
'Be careful. Look after yourself.' I smiled kissing Deles cheek and hugging Marcus.
'You'll be fine, I promise, just work as a team.'  I Said pulling them all into a hug.
'We love you Mia.' Smiled Jordan. 
'I love you all too, do me proud.' I smiled letting them go.

'What's bothering you?' Asked Jesse hugging me from behind.
'Nothing.' I Replied. I had no idea how he could tell, but even my own brother couldn't.
He looked me in the eyes for what felt like forever.
'Your lying.' He squinted.
I sighed and sat down. 
'Take your mind off me, go and play your best J, I love you.' I Replied. He hugged me and nodded.

'For you.' He said squeezing my hand.
He placed his other over my face and pulled me closer. He leaned in.
Our lips almost touched and I moved my head. And he kissed me on the cheek.
Why?
Because I saw the same guy, who threatened me earlier, stood in the tunnel. He was undercover outside of the stadium, and now he's going against England.
'Sorry.' Sighed Jesse stepping back.
I shook my head and pointed at the man in the corner. Smirking at me.

Jesse looked around and I fell to the floor. He was going to do something to my brother, I was sure of it.
Jesse pulled me back up to my feet and kissed me, and without hesitation I kissed back.
'I promise you Mia, I'm here to protect you, no one will ever touch you, or Del, again.' He whispered in my ear. I smiled and he pulled me closer.
'Go sit down, we are all going to be making you proud, we love you.' He smirked pushing me towards the front of the tunnel.
I hugged dele one more time.
'Game boys, good luck, stay calm.' I Said. They nodded.

I waved as the cheers filled the stadium. I took my place next to Gareth and he squeezed my hand.
'We've got this.' I Said smiling at him.
Just at that moment the boys entered the pitch, alongside their opponents. And HE was talking to Dele. 

He smirked and the whistle blew. Everyone moved but my brother stood still.
'Come on Del!' I Shouted.
He looked over at me and shook his head. 
Jesse shook him and he was knocked out of his thoughts.
Del got the ball, he was doing great. But I know we were going to have a serious conversation after this game.  And it had to do with thismorning.
