The call up (USWNT fanfiction)

The Dinner

Yo yo, I'm back and there will be a trigger warning in this chapter just saying, I will tell you when it is and when you can keep reading xx

Olivia's POV:

I feel a sharp pain in my wrist as I was being dragged by Tierna up to the elevator but I just ignored it. When we get to the room Tierna immediately starts to try and pick out outfits. "I think I would look good in this, what do you think?" She asks and turns around holding up a button-up shirt and joggers. "Yeah I think you would look-" I say but couldn't finish my sentence because she interrupted me. "Are you okay?" She asks looking at my wrist which was shaking. "Oh yeah, it's fine, I'll be back in a minute." I say rushing into the bathroom. I made sure the door was locked as I went to look at my wrist. !!TW-Mentions of Self-Harm!! 'Oh shit' I think to myself as I see the blood pouring from the cuts on my wrist. I need to make sure that this is all cleaned up before Tierna notices and before the team notice. I grab the toilet role and lay some on the cuts to try and stop the bleeding. I then wrap a bunch of toilet role around the cuts and then pull down my sleeve and cover my wrist. Hopefully that helps it for the rest of the night. !!TW Over!! I open the door to see Tierna there looking nervous. 

Tierna's POV:

Something isn't right with Liv. "Hey are you okay?" I ask her when she gets out of the bathroom. "Yeah, just great, lets have a look at what we could wear tonight." She tells me looking excited. I let it slide but a make a mental note in case it ever happens again. "What do you think to this?" she asks showing me a  white blouse and black skinny jeans with a black jacket. "Yeah look's great, I just wish you luck getting into those skinny jeans with your thick thighs." I say laughing. "Yeah wish me luck." She jokes going into the bathroom to get changed. I get changed and once she has finished we head down to the lobby. We come down laughing our heads off. "What are you two laughing at" I hear Ash say. Out of the corner of my eye I see Liv tense up.

Olivia's POV:

Okay calm down Liv, it's just your idol speaking to you right now. "Hey, you okay I heard Tierna say. I just nod and gulp. "Omg, your idol is Ashlyn isn't it." She says laughing. I jokingly glare at her and nod my head. "Hey Olivia right" Ashlyn says now in front of me. I start to panic, luckily Tierna noticed how scared I was and saved me. "Yeah Ash, but she likes to be called Liv." Tierna says and I just nod my head in confirmation to scared to say anything in case I embarrass myself. "Okayyyyy Liv, I can't wait to see you play and get to know you more." Ashlyn says looking a bit scared as to why I'm not talking to her. I quickly nod my head and she walks back to Ali Kreiger. "Omg, that was the funniest interaction I have ever seen." Tierna states whilst laughing her head off. "That is not funny." I said whilst shaking my head and laughing a bit. "Anyway you look amazing the team will love it." Tierna says sincerly. "So do you." I reply. She looks down and I swear I saw her blush but I got interrupted by my thoughts as I hear Carli shout that it was time to go. "Let's go I guess." Tierna says. "I guess we should Lillis" I said accidently. "I'm sorry, Lillis kinda slipped out, it's just cause your middle name i-" I try to explain. "Hey, it's okay I liked it just don't let anyone else call me that." She says laughing. I laugh and we start to head out. We arrive at Taco Bell and I am squished between Tierna and Lindsey. 

Lindsey Horan's POV:

I am sitting next to the rookie who seems pretty cool. "Hey, I'm Lindsey but everyone calls me Linds, how are you?" I say trying to make her feel more accepted into the team. "Hi I'm Liv and I am good thanks the team is really kind and welcoming, how are you" She replies. I am glad that the team is making her feel welcomed she seems like a good kid too. "I'm good thanks, what are you going to get?" I ask her. "Oh, nothing much probably just a salad, what about you?" I was concerned that she wasn't going to eat enough but she seemed happy with what she was ordering so I left it. "I'm going to have a cheese quesadilla." I respond. "Cool." she says we then wait for the food and make small talk for the rest of the night.

Olivia's POV:

Lindsey seems like a cool person, I talked to her, Tierna and Tobin for most of the night until someone ,probably Carli or Julie, says that it is time to got to the hotel for team-bonding. Which I found out was in Kelley's and Alex's room. "Ready for the chaotic team-bonding." Lindsey askes me. "Yeah, I can't wait." I say. Time for the whole team to meet me properly...
