Emma's POV

"You Alright?" I ask as I look at my English Cousin.

"I miss her." Jordan mumbles as she looks at her ex girlfriend.

"What does your mom always say?"

"If it's meant to be then it'll be." Jordan mumbles.

"And if you and Leah are meant to be then you'll end up together." I say as our bus pulls up to Kingsmeadow.

We're playing Chelsea today at their home stadium and today will be mine, Christen, and Julie's debut for the club.

Today's game will also be Jessie's debut for Chelsea.

"I know." Jordan mumbles.

We're bus buddies since she and Leah broke up.

"You'll get back together." I whisper.

"You think so?" My cousin asks.

"I know so." I say as the bus stops. "But we can talk about that later. We got a game to win."

Jordan nods then we get off the bus and head to the away locker room.

As I walk to the locker room I look over the line up for today's game.

1-Emma Harris
12-Steph Catley
6-Leah Williamson
2-Julie Johnston
15-Katie McCabe
10-Kim Little (C)
8-Jordan Nobbs
14-Jill Roord
23-Christen Press
11-Vivianne Miedema
7-Daniëlle van de Donk

When I walk into the locker room I I take my AirPods out, take out my nose ring, take off my necklaces and my rings, then I put my jewelry and AirPods in my bag.

Once I'm jewelry free I put on my short sleeve pink undershirt, my warm up top, then I put on my game shorts. I then sit down in my locker, put my long long curly brown hair up in a ponytail, put on my socks and put on my black and gold boots.

After my boots are on I tape my wrists, hands, and fingers then I put on my black and white keeper gloves before I head onto the field with the other keepers.

When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the keepers for a while then head back to the locker room.

Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my pink keeper jersey while the coaches do their last minute talks.

After the last minute talks are over we are told to head to the tunnel so I grab my towel and water bottle then I head to the front of the line in the tunnel and stand behind Kim.

Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Kim out.

Once on the field we stand in a line for a few seconds then we head to our bench and do our team huddle.

After our team huddle I grab my towel and water bottle then I head to my goal. When I get to my goal I put my water bottle on the outside of the net, hang my towel on the net, then I watch as Chelsea kick off the game.

The first 25 minutes of the game are very end to end with both teams peppering the goals, but myself and the Chelsea keeper keep every shot out of the goal.

In the 27th minute Daan shoots from way outside the box and the Chelsea goalie catches the ball then boots it up field. The ball drops to Crystal and once she gets the ball out of her feet she runs towards me.

Steph gets in front of Crystal and tries to show the midfielder towards the sideline, but the American megs the right back then she plays a ball towards Pernille Harder.
