Magic|Jesse Lingard

12. Bye

As we made our way to the offices, which were half an hour away from the hotel, my mind started to wander and I tried figuring out what I could have done which is so interesting to have a meeting about me.

"You're thinking too hard again mate." I turned to see Kyle who I sat wit on the bus

Although he's my best mate, we haven't actually been around or talked to each other a lot recently.

"Oh, sorry. I'm just confused."

"The meeting is probably nothing, they are probably going to give you a raise if anything." I laughed at the man

"Me? A raise? I wish" we both giggled and just talked the whole journey.

I've missed this, just me and my bestie.

After a while, we pulled up at a huge building where the meeting was going to be held. We all made sure we looked good and exited the bus.

I found Jesse and went to hold his hand.

"Yoright, yokay?" I asked, mimicking his little joke

"Ha, yea. How about you, this mystery meeting is about ya anyway" I shrugged my shoulders as we approached the room

"Whatever it is, it can't be too bad."

We entered the room to be greeted by a man and a woman, both looking very serious but as soon as they saw the team they lightened up.

"Ah, here they are" they shook our hands and introduced themselves

"I'm Sandy and this is Mark" both of them looked around the early 40s

Once we had all introduced ourselves, we began the meeting.

"Let's talk statistics"

Well, this is going to be fun.

After 45 minutes of talking about how to kick a ball and which kick goes far and who needs to pick up the slack a bit more, we were excused from the meeting.

"Actually, can Jesse, Aura and Marcus, please stay."

Okay...now I feel like I've gotten detention again.

I sat back in my seat, looking over at the boys who seemed confused too.

Once the rest of the lads left reluctantly, Sandy and Mark spoke again.

"We think that Aura is distracted you two."

Well, that was blunt.

"I'm sorry, how am I doing so?" I snapped back

Obviously, I was a bit harsh as I'm being accused of affecting the team when my job is to encourage them. I'm not sorry though.

"Miss Campbell--"

"Rashford, her last name is Rashford!" Marcus defended

Campbell is the last name of my birth family. Technically it's mine as well as I haven't legally changed it but I always use Rashford.

"Sorry, we were going by your legal name. Anyway, Miss Rashford, we are aware that you and your adoptive brother are very close but an incident that has occurred recently between him and a spectator has been brought to our attention." I sighed loudly whilst rolling my eyes.

"He was defending me from my ex. What does that have to do with the team anyway? Oh and drop the adoptive shit because he's my brother, blood or not" I was fuming at this point.

"Many people have complained about Mr Rashford's and Mr Lingard's involvement"

"It's dealt with, it's over," I spoke
