Magic|Jesse Lingard

21. Just listen

Today is the day that I go home for the first time in 8 months. I'm flying with Jesse, Dele and Danny and even though I've been on private jets before, it was still mind-blowing that I know people who owned them.

"Dude, you've got Swedish Fish!" These were my favourite sweets from the states so they would be finished before we land.

"Lee, you're acting like this is new to you!" Danny laughed

"Because it never gets old for a peasant like me" I exclaimed whilst eating the candy.

Once we were settled, I realized what was actually happening.

"Oh, I fucking hate planes!" I whispered harshly to myself

However, Jesse overheard.

He gestured for me to take the seat next to him and I did so. He held my hand and I had flashbacks to when we first flew together on our way to the world cup.

"I'm not the only one having Déjà vu, am I?" I joked

Jesse laughed whilst we felt the plane take off. I held his hand tightly as we got higher and higher into the air.

Very soon, the pressure lessened and I felt calmer.

"See, you were fine." He reassured

I nodded, still hating the fact that we weren't on the ground anymore

"Hey, you really want to experience déjà vu? Come here." I looked at Jesse weirdly before heading towards him.

As soon as I was close enough, he pulled me into his lap and handed me the TV remote.

I laughed at the memory.

"All we need is Kyle and Winksy being annoying pricks and trying to hook us up." I giggled

"I don't have a Walker and Winks, but I do have a Dele and Welbeck" I looked over at the other two who were making kissing faces at Jesse and I.

I felt my face heat up as I gave them the finger.

"Anyway, what are we watching?"

---------

9 hours later, we had touched down in London and somehow it got out that I was back in the UK.

On our way out Paparazzi swarmed us asking questions about the holiday, my random move and Jesse and I's relationship.

"We'll see you guys in a week or so" Dele announced as him and Danny went their separate way home

Jesse and I were going straight to Manchester as I really needed to talk to Marcus.

"Jesse, Aura, are you two back together"

"Aura, is it true that you cut off all ties in the UK"

"Is it true that you have no relationship with your brother anymore"

More and more questions came rolling in and if they didn't stop soon I was going to hit someone.

Jesse managed to pull me away from the crowd and to his car that one of his friends managed to drop off for us.

We got inside the car, covering our faces as much as possible and managed to drive away with running over anyone.

"Well, word Gets around quickly, eh" I breathed

"Don't worry, it will be over soon"

We continued to drive towards Manchester when Jesse got a call which displayed on the dashboard:

Bean

"I think he's heard."

Jesse gestured for me to stay quiet and I did so as he took the call.

"Hey bean, what's up"

"I thought you were over her Jesse" Marcus spoke

"Look, mate, we aren't together. I bumped into her whilst I was in Florida, nothing happened"

"Did she at least explain why she left us?!" He exclaimed

"She did...and she wants to talk to you in person."

"No,"

At that point, my heart broke. My best friend and brother hated me

"Come on Bean, give her a chance...she is your little big sister after all"

The line was silent for a while before he spoke:

"I dunno, man, where are you now?"

"I actually on my way to Manchester. I left something that I kinda need right now so do you mind if I drop by and get it"

"Nah, of course not...Auralee isn't with you, is she?"

Wow, he really doesn't want to see me.

"Nah, she's in England but she's with Dele at the moment" I stared at Jesse hoping that him lying won't become too much of an issue.

"Alright, in see you soon then," Jesse said his goodbyes and hung up

I made sure that the phone was completely off before shouting

"WHAT WAS THAT! WHEN HE REALISES YOU LIED HE'S GONNA HATE YOU!"

"You and Marcus getting along again is way more important than whether he will talk to me at training. Yes he's like my brother, but he actually is your brother. I ain't getting in the way of that."

I smiled at him before holding his free hand.

"What are you doing this?"

"Because, like I said a million times...I Love You!"

---------

We parked in the driveway of Marcus's just staring at the door.

"You ready?" Jesse asked

"Yea...I just hope he won't slam the door in my face"

We got out of the car and I stood well behind Jesse.

He knocked on the door and I hid as much as possible. I was terrified to see Marcus, especially after hearing what he has been saying about me and how he feels.

I heard the door open and Marcus greeted Jesse.

"Mate it's been ages"

"I know! I got you something thing from Florida."

"Mate, you shouldn't have...what is it."

At that point, I stepped from behind Jesse.

"Hiya" I waved shyly

I saw Marcus' face falter and instantly turned into hate.

"Really mate, you shouldn't have. You said she wasn't coming!"

"Well, you need to talk to her!"

"I don't wanna, she's brought me nothing but pain"

"Ok, I get you're pissed but I'm stood right here," I interjected

Marcus looked at me before letting the two of us in.

"Fine, you can explain yourself...but don't expect me to crawl back to you like Jesse did" I nodded and headed into the living room.

"Ok... let's go back 8 months"

Please forgive me
