When 20-year-old Matildas star, India Harrison, was offered a contract at Arsenal Women's Football Club for the 2020/2021 season, she was ecstatic and ready for the next step in her career. Although she would have to leave her best friend, Kristie Mewis, at the Houston Dash, she was excited to be in the same country as her close friend and Australian captain, Sam Kerr. 

When Indi arrived at Arsenal, she was entranced by the Dutch girl, Jill Roord. Jill and Indi's supposed "friendship" quickly developed, with both players realising they were not only friends. 

At the same time, Sam and Kristie, with help from Indi, had been developing their own romance, despite being long distance. 

But Indi's past wasn't what many people expected. Her dark secrets ran deeper than what was on the surface, or hidden by sleeves. What does Indi do when those closest start diving into this past? Will she speak the truth and open up or will she live with the haunting experiences, forever? 

A story about love, friendship and triumph, in a world that can often seem unconquerable.

After being recruited by Wolfsburg after the 2019 World Cup, Mila Bakker was determined to become the best forward of her age. After being named the Young Player of the Tournament, there was no doubt that she was on her way, with the Dutch, right-winger becoming a staple within not just the national team but also the highly competitive Wolfsburg squad. In 2020, after the disrupted season that left Mila questioning almost everything, new faces joined the Wolfsburg team, including German midfielder, Lena Oberdorf. With Mila's larger-than-life personality and Lena's down-to-earth spirit, both players found an unlikely friendship, despite the light bickering, and when Germany once again shut down, the two found themselves as roommates, trying to survive the lockdown together. With Mila always sneaking around the rules, and Lena having to come to her rescue more often than not, tensions began to brew between the two. At the national team, Mila's long-time best friend, Jill Roord, was dealing with her own problems, and after two seasons at Arsenal, she returned to Germany, to play alongside her best friend and Dutch teammate, meeting someone unexpected along the way. Yet, despite Mila's ever-giving love and compassion, there are pains that lie within her past. There are childhood hurts that are present throughout her adult life. After leaving her home country forever, and seeing her family ripped apart in front of her eyes, Mila's trust in others is never too strong. The love she has always seems to fail her. The heart others give, she can never give back. And it takes one determined person to help bring her out of that. You're On Your Own, Kid is the final installment of the Swiftly Pitched series, representing that it is important to depend on those who love you and that the friends you hold dearest may always bring surprises.

Kayden had spent years proving herself at Arsenal, with her best friend Kyra Cooney-Cross always by her side. When she finally earns her first senior England call-up, she's ready to focus on making an impact. But everything changes when she meets Grace Clinton. What Kayden doesn't know is that Kyra and Grace have been secretly together, their relationship hidden from the world. But as they grow closer to Kayden, feelings start to shift. Loving each other was already complicated-adding Kayden into the mix makes it even more so. As the three of them navigate the pressures of professional football and the complexities of their emotions, they're forced to decide: is this a risk worth taking, or is love the one game they can't win?
