Mias POV:
'Well I mean, he did have some part in it.' I Replied.
Jesse looked up at me.
He let go. And left the room.
My brother was crying, and Marcus was guiltily looking at the floor.
'Good job it came out before the game tho ay?' Marcus said, trying to lighten the mood.
Del shot him a look.
'Can I speak to my sister please mate?' He Asked.  Marcus nodded and left the room.
Del grabbed my hands.
'You were always my closest, my favourite, no matter how far away I was I made sure to look after you, how did I miss this?' He Asked. I shrugged.
'It was years ago Dele, I had moved out, was getting on and something bad had to happen.'
'Why didn't you tell anyone Mia, this is serious, they both assaulted you!'

'Some things aren't worth telling.' I Replied.
'We didn't even have to do anything about it if you didn't want us too, I just need to know these things.' He whispered.
'But now that I haven't told you, your gonna get mardy, go and hurt him and have a go at mum.' I retorted. He stood up.
'That's an understatement.' He growled.
'Dele Jeremaine Alli.' I Shouted. He turned around. I smirked. I knew he hated being called that.

'You use this as your advantage, it's unfortunate that you found out, but it happened, you go and beat Panama.' I Said.
'I was always going to find out, I'm your brother.' He Replied.
I nodded and hugged him. He didn't let go. I knew he was devastated but he couldn't let his game go at such an important time.

'Either you throw this all away now, and blame everyone around you, or you take it in your stride and use it against your opponents.' He nodded. I checked the time. 5pm.  I missed my chance with Jesse.
I sighed.
'You'll get another chance.' Said Dele putting his hand around my neck.
We walked out of the hotel room together and I sent him off to get changed. I had a bath, and used up a lot of the spare flower petals, and got changed into a loose Nike tracksuit.  I was sat in the lobby waiting for the boys to get changed when Kieran jumped into the chair next to me.
'You scared me.' I laughed.

He pulled me up and spun me around.
'What are you doing?' I laughed. He didn't reply, instead he picked me up and sat me on his lap.
'Anyone touches you again I'll spark them out.' He Said strongly clinging onto me. He was in his England kit already. Everyone else took ages to get ready.
'Trippier style?' I Asked.
'You bet.' He winked. I rolled my eyes and got off him. Jesse came down the stairs and pulled me close.
'We missed it.' I sighed.

'Tomorrow.' He Said.
'Promise?' I Asked, holding out my baby finger.
'Promise.' He Replied linking fingers with me.
'Attention lads.' Shouted Gareth.
'It's game time, what Mia has given us is a gift. A drive. A want, to win. Take it with pride, control your anger, and get through to the next stage, don't get distracted, good luck.' He said shaking their hands. We got onto the bus and made our way to the stadium.
