word count: 4046

jake sighed at his phone for the umpteenth time that day. his bottom lip jutting out into a pout because of the lack of texts and attention he was getting from you. he was so excited to be finally back home in australia to spend his birthday with his members and to get to see you and the rest of his loved ones, but he was starting to feel sad because you hadn’t responded to any of his texts.

jungwon and heeseung noticed jakes behavior and exchanged glances, an unspoken conversation between the two of them and jungwon instantly jumps to his feet to try and cheer jake up. clinging to him and swminging him around like he was plushie.

“jake! what are you most excited for now that we’re in your home!” jungwon asks and the rest of the members avert their attention to jake to see what his response would be. all of them knew of the surprise so they all knew what his answer would be but because jake didn’t know of the surprise, he merely just says he’s excited to see his family and show the members around his home.

“i bet you’re so excited to see everyone! who are you most excited to see?” niki asks, knowing his question was a bit too close to giving away the surprise so jay and sunghoon’s hands fly to cover niki’s mouth to which they receive a weird look from jake. “yeah, i mean my family of course and some friends.” jake says quietly and all of the members try their best not to giggle at jake’s sulky behavior. jake wanted to say that he was most excited to see you but due to your lack of responses, he feels like you’re ignoring him and it makes him a bit sad.

he hasn’t seen you in so many years after moving to korea to pursue his career as an idol and although the two of you often text, call, and videochat, nothing beats being in the same room as his childhood best friend and love of his life.

the two of you have known each other practically your whole lives, having grown up together in the same town and having the same interests, it was inevitable that the two of you would be inseperable. jake’s departure for korea was an emotional time for the both of you because it was the longest you would ever be apart and not knowing when the next time you would see each other made it so much harder.

you had made a few efforts to see jake by visitng korea but due to your life also becoming busy with university and your career, it became even more difficult to see one another outside of a phone screen. jake asked you to be his girlfriend officially through video call one night when you were having a tough time back home. work and your studies were piling up and you were feeling the pressure of everything and jake just knew the right words to say to ease your mind.

jake just happened to blurt it out and it first caught you by surprise. you weren’t expecting jake to ask you that day but after a short moment of thinking, you instantly said yes. the two of you were a pair and having grown up together, you and jake knew each other so well that people often would assume you were together in the first place. after hearing you say yes, jake flew to his feet and began running around his room cheering, to which some of the members heard and barged in; trying to find out what was going on. everyone knew it was bound to happen so they were all very happy for the two of you. your relationship has been kept underwraps from the general public to protect both of your privacy and after a few years since becoming his girlfriend, the two of you are finally going to be reunited, not as best friends but as a couple.

the closer jake and the members got to his childhood neighborhood, the quicker his leg bounced because it also meant they were getting closer to you. the two of you lived only three houses away from each other so as they turned into the street where the two of you lived, he could see your house before his own. the neighborhood looked exactly the same as it did since the last time he was there except the grass looks greener and the sky was the most beautiful shade of blue he had ever seen.

there was so much on jake’s mind that he didn't notice the van come to a halt and the members began to gather their belongings to exit the car. “jake? come on! everyone’s waiting.” heeseung says, the last one of the members to leave. jake who was deep in thought, blinked a few times and realized they had arrived. he wasn’t sure what to expect but the way he was feeling right now was the opposide of the bright and sunny weather that welcomed them.

—౨ৎ

you were waiting in jake’s childhood home, helping his parents set up for his homecoming by setting up decorations and whatever else his mom may need help with. “are you excited? i know the two of you haven’t seen each other in so long, it’ll be just like old times.” jake’s mom says and you smile and nod at her. telling her that she’s probably equally as excited to see her son. yours and jake’s parents were very close so naturally the two of you would be too. you often visited jake’s parents when you could, having dinner with them every now and then while also having them over to have dinner with your parents.

jake’s mom could tell you were nervous because she had watched you reorganize the plates over and over for the last 15 minutes. “yn, honey? why don’t you see if jake’s dad needs help with the grill.” jake’s mom says and you look at her with a smile and nod before heading to their backyard where jake’s dad was indeed standing over a grill, flipping several cuts of marinated meat.

“uncle? you okay out here? do you need any help or want any water? it’s hot out today.” you ask, stepping outside and walking to his side. “i’m okay, don’t worry dear.” he says, wiping the sweat off his forehead. “uncle, you’re sweating so much!” you say, grabbing a clean rag and wiping his sweat away. “i’ll get you some water, just a moment.” you say and soon enough, you’re returning with a cold glass of water and insisting he drink it all to make sure he isn’t overexerting his energy to grill all this food under the blazing sun.

jake’s dad thanks you and you smile at him, “you know, i haven’t seen you and jaeyun together in years. it’ll be just like old times when you were little kids and jaeyun would steal the ball from you and you’d chase him around yelling for him to give it back.” jake’s dad recalls and the two of you share a laugh before jake’s mom calls for you. “you sure you don’t need anything uncle?” you ask once more and he nods before you head back inside.

“yes auntie?” you ask, navigating your way back to the kitchen.

“they’re almost here! go hide!” she says and your eyes widen at her statement. checking your phone and seeing that neither jungwon or heeseung has sent you a text. “yn! the van is here, hide. go!” she says, motioning for you to hide somewhere and you scatter away. hiding in one of the closets while jake’s mom grabs your shoes and sets them aside so he doesn’t see them.

—౨ৎ

jake’s heart pounded the closer he got to the front door of his childhood home. he was the last of his member’s to step out of the van and he was met with the sun shining bright above them. he soon notices the giant banner hanging above his front doorway that read, “welcome home and happy birthday to our superstar jaeyun!” to which a giant smile breaks out onto his face and his members jump for joy with a group hug as they see jake’s smile.

“come on man, your mom and dad are waiting!” jungwon says, grabbing jake and bringing him to the front door. he doesn’t even need to knock because the door swings open and reveals his mom, standing there with her arms out ready to embrace her son who she hasn’t seen in awhile.

“aww, my jaeyun! you’ve grown so much!” she says, smothering her son with kisses and tightening her arms around him. the members laugh at the interaction, jake obviously being treaed like a baby by his mom and the blushing of his cheeks. “where’s dad?” jake asks as he pulls away from his mom. “right here!” he shouts from further inside the house and as jake and the members fill the house, they all see jake’s dad carrying racks of bbq in the kitchen. a chorus of cheers erupts from all the boys, drooling and oggling the marinated beef and pork while rubbing their stomachs after seeing all the delicious food.

everyone files into the kitchen and sits around the giant table set up by jake’s mom and unbeknownst to jake, by you as well. jake takes a look around the room as the members take their seats at the dining table while his mom and dad place the food onto the table. his members are smiling and his parents are having small talk with the members, asking them if they were tired and hungry; and that they were so excited to have everyone here. oh how he wished you were also there as he glances down at his phone once again only to see there weren’t any notifications from you among the thousands that he had gotten since the last time he checked just a few minutes ago.

“right! are we ready to eat? i hope you guys are hungry!” jake’s dad says and before everyone can start to plate their own food, jake’s mom realizes something is missing. “wait! jake i forgot your cake!” she says and jake sends her a confused look. “cake, already? shouldn’t we have dinner first?” jake says with a chuckle followed by the rest of the members laughing along with him.

“no, no. this is important. i’ll go get it.” she says and quickly leaves to go grab the cake.

the members are talking amongst themselves, jay speaking with jake’s dad about how the grilled meat looks delicious. jake’s mom secretly takes her seat again without jake noticing and the conversation suddenly dies down, jake still staring at his phone, doesn’t notice the silence.

“jake?” his mom says and he looks up at her. “oh, when did you get back? where’s the cake?” jake asks and they all just stare at him…

no, they are staring past him.

jake shoots the members and his parents a puzzled look, oblivious to the presence behind him.

“happy birthday jake!” you say as you approach from behind and stand beside him.

jake turns his head to the side to be met with a cake that had a photo of him and layla and a candle shaped in the form of his age, 22. a smile once again spreads onto his face as he stares at the photo of him and layla on the cake. the member’s break out into a laugh when jake has yet to realize your presence.

“what are you guys laughing at?” he asks, slightly pouting.

“bro, look at who is holding the cake.” sunghoon says and jake reverts his eyes back to the cake and slightly upwards. where his eyes meet yours, a smile on your face as you watch his reaction, shock and surprise on his face as he shoots to his feet to hug you. quickly moving the cake out of the way so that it doesn’t get smashed in between the two of you as jake pulls you into his arms.

“oh my god, no way.” he says, tightening his grip around yours as you wrap your arms around his neck and over his shoulders. you laugh at his reaction and relish in the warmth of his embrace that you haven’t felt in years.

—౨ৎ

the sun had set some hours ago and the short but joy filled birthday activities for jake had calmed down. after your surprise, dinner, opening gifts, and singing him a happy birthday followed by sharing the cake; jake could definitely say that this birthday was one he’ll remember for the rest of his life.

on the inside of his childhood home, the members were scattered around the house, niki and heeseung had found jake’s childhood bedroom and were laughing at his baby photos, jungwon and jay were in the kitchen helping jake’s parents clean up, while sunghoon was being forced by sunoo to do skincare, even though his skin was “perfect”. sunghoon’s words not jake’s.

jake on the other hand, was sitting in his backyard in a canopy swing with you by his side as the two of you gazed at the stars. something you often did on the phone but just in different places and time zones. you basqued in the moment, just being with jake, in person, for however long it has been since, and not wanting the moment to ever end. you wished this moment wouldn’t end but you did your best to brush that thought away from your mind and to just enjoy the time you two had together even if it’s for only a few days.

“what’s on that pretty little mind of yours?” jake asks.

you're silent for a moment, unsure if you should tell him your worries or soothe his mind and allow for the moment to purely just be about the joy that surrounds the two of you. “nothing, just enjoying this moment. i wish it’d never end.” you said, snaking your arm under his and snuggling closer to jake; placing your head on his shoulder. a place of comfort you gravitated to whenever you were with jake. a place of comfort you hadn’t visited in years.

jake rests his head on yours knowing that there was a lot more on your mind but he respected that you didn’t want to share it, assuming that you’d prefer to enjoy the time you had together instead of the worries of the future. he knew you so well.

the air was thick as you and jake sat while the swing softly swung back and forth. every now and then he’d point out a formation of stars that looked like something to him. he saw a group of stars that he swore looked layla and now all the stars looked like his beloved dog.

“i wish this day wouldn’t end.” jake says, breaking the silence and although it had been weighing heavily on your, you weren’t taking the chance to break the silence that would inevitably lead to the conversation of your time together coming to an end. a truth that neither of you wanted to face.

“is it sad to say that i’ve been thinking about that since you first hugged me earlier?” you respond and jake shifts beside you so that you’re no longer leaning on him but facing one another. he has his usual expression across his face, his features soft, lips slightly shining, and every star in the night sky reflected in his eyes. eyes that you wished you could look into everyday without a phone or computer screen aiding you.

“i don’t ever stop thinking about you, by the way.” you say, eyes still connected with his. “i mean, you make it kind of hard not to think about you when you’re a famous kpop star but you get what i mean…” you continue, earning a chuckle out of jake. you smile when you hear his laugh and it’s not one of the fake ones you’ve heard him make during interviews or variety shows. its the laugh you loved, the one you heard for the first time when you were 10 years old and you and jake were in your treehouse talking about how some boy was bullying jake so to defend him, during lunch break you dumped a cup of applesauce and a carton of chocolate milk into the bully’s head.

you heard a laugh echo throughout the room that was filled with gasps but the only sound that rung in your ear was jake’s laugh. when you looked over to him, there jake was, clapping and laughing until he turned red. needless to say, you got in a lot of trouble, but jake never got bullied moving forward.

jake hunched over from laughing so hard, having leaned over so much he almost fell off the swing, but you quickly caught him; pulling him back up. which didn’t help because him almost falling over just made him laugh even more which resulted in you laughin alongside him. the members were inside of the house looking through the sliding door admiring the two of you.

“i wonder what they’re laughing?” sunghoon asks.

“i’m not sure but aren’t they so cute.” sunoo says like he’s never seen two people be so in love.

“okay kids, let’s give them their space. i’ll show you your rooms.” jake’s mom says and the members all disperse from the window. before jake’s mom walks away she looks at the two of you briefly. smiling at the sight of you two laughing, a memory of the two of you as kids laughing in her backyard while playing with dirt crosses her mind, tears of joy slightly welling in her eyes.

you fall into his lap as both of your laughter starts to slow down, catching your breath and staring at one another again. you look up at jake while thinking about the next time you’ll be able to share a moment like this again once he leaves. jake glances down at you, admiring your beauty that he wished he could wake up to every day. both of your hearts beating simultaneaously and on the same cadence the longer you two sat like this.

“wanna go to our spot?” jake asks and your eyes widen. you hadn’t visited your spot since the last time jake was here after promising him that the next time you visit, jake had to be there. “oh my god, i totally forgot about that!” you say, jumping up in excitement. “let’s go?” jake asks, biting his bottom lip with excitement in his eyes. you nod at him eagerly and take his hand in yours as the two of you slip out through the side entrance of the house that connected the backyard to the front. the two of you giggled and you ran and skipped to your spot.

your spot was a gigantic tree that stood by itself at the edge of a large meadow. the tree became your spot when during soccer practice one day, he noticed you weren’t outside with the rest of the girl’s soccer team. the coach asked if he knew where you were because the two of you were usually always together but when he didn’t have an answer for the coach, he instantly ran off to find you. the meadow wasn’t far from either of your homes so when he ran to find you and passed by the meadow on his way to your house, your bright pink backpack stood out like a sore thumb amidst the green grass. he comforted you of all your worries that day and from then on, the tree became your spot.

the two of you take a seat once you arrive at your spot. the branches and leaves of the tree spreading far and high above the both of you. jake rested his back on the tree while you laid your head on his lap. a familiar position for the two of you as you often laid like this with each other if not in each other’s arms.

“i know i’m only here for a week but let’s make the most of it, yeah?” jake encourages you to forget about the sadness that would follow his departure, so you take a deep breath in and agree to do exactly that.

“it’ll be sad when you leave but it’s nothing i haven’t been through before.” you say, sitting up next to him so that you could look at each other. “what is it that they say… distance makes the heart grow fonder?” you say and he nods with a smile. “exactly… but no distance will ever compare to the amount of love i have for you.” jake says, reassuring you that no great distance could ever compare to the amount of love he had for you.

“sometimes i get scared that you’ll forget about me.” you say, your voice just above a whisper.

jake pulls you into his arms and begins to rub your back with his hand. the warmth of his body providing a comfort to you that you hadn’t felt from anyone in so long.

“i’ll never forget you. you’ve been there for me since we were kids and i’d be damned if i ever let anyone or anything break us apart. you’re stuck with me until we grow old and can only eat oatmeal and drink tea.

you’re constantly on my mind and whenever i feel any sort of pressure or negativity brew inside of me, i can’t help but think about every happy moment we have with each other, because those happy moments greatly outweigh any sadness that i’ll ever feel.

i’d rather spend one night together than never being with you ever again. the pain of being without you hurts more than any hardship i’ll ever go through because without the person you love is the greatest hardship one can ever experience. the only way i get through that hardship is knowing that you’ll always be waiting for me to come back… and i’ll always be waiting for the day that i can come back to you.

there has been no doubt in my mind that you are like home to me and i love you so much.”

jake’s voice warmed your heart with each word he spoke. jake professing his love for you, even though you already knew he loved you, felt like the cherry on top of the beginning of the best week of your life. knowing that’s how jake feels about you felt like you too could endure a hardship knowing that jake would be there to hold you in his arms at the end.

“i love you too, jaeyun…” you say. your lips connecting, sparks flying in both of your minds as your lips move against one another. something the two of you had been looking forward to since the day he asked you to be his girlfriend.

“we should probably head back, don’t want the members or my parents to worry and think we eloped…” jake says, chuckling as he pulls away from you.

he stands, dusting his pants off and offering you his hand, to which you take and he pulls you up onto your feet. he swings his arm around your shoulder as the two of you make your way back to his home.

“also jake…” you begin to say and jake’s ears perk up at your sentence. “it’s good you came back, you’re losing your accent.” you say and the two of you break out into laughter once again.

“oh my god, you and every engene have been telling me that!” jake says, putting emphasis where he can to make his accent stronger and thicker.

the walk back to his house is filled with giggles.

once you arrived, changing into spare clothes, you fall asleep in jake’s arms. a smile on both of your faces as you dream about each other with no doubt in your mind that he was the one for you and you were the one for him.

notes: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKEY JAKEYYYYY (tbh i thought this was a bit cringe because of how domestic and fluffy it was but WHATEVER jake is sweet so i had to make this tooth rottingly (not a word) sweet!!!! happy birthday jaeyun i love u so muchhhh <555

The other Bronze – Part 21

“Magda... let go of her so we can have dinner” Pernille said for the fifth time rolling her eyes

“Just a second” the swede waved off pulling you into another room “... that was in Australia... we were on holiday and visited this Kangaroo sanctuary... they had a lot of little ones..”

“Magdalena Lilly Eriksson... NU!!” the Danish woman said annoyed losing her patience

“Jag ville bara...” Magda started turning around to be met with an angry looking Pernille

“... and I don't care... dinner table... now” Pernille sneered pointing towards the table

“I was just being” the swede started to argue but stopped talking immediately after her girlfriend lifted her eyebrow in challenge

Magda quickly grabbed your wrist and pulled you with her to the dining room and unceremonially hauled you on a chair and plonked down next to you

“I don't think so...” you heard Pernilles voice behind you as you saw Magda flinch out of the corner of your eye

“But... I want to sit next to her” Magda whined knowing immediately what Pernille was referring to

“What about Georgia... maybe she wants to sit next to her girlfriend” the Danish mused

“She has her all the time” the blonde swede whined

“That's not true!!” your girlfriend exclaimed from the hallway

“Magda!” Pernille sneered harshly pushing her girlfriend not so lightly

“Man” Magda huffed but gave her chair up for Georgia to take the chair opposite of it

“Thank you” the blonde Dane scoffed and everyone knew she wasn't serious

“Yeah... thank you Magda” Georgia grinned knowing she could count on Pernille to have her back... or not

“Don't start a fight Stanway” Pernille said seriously

“I just thanked her” your girlfriend defended herself but couldn't keep the smirk of her face

“Save it...” the Dane scoffed “... and I swear if anyone starts throwing food again..” she looked warning at her and your girlfriend

“Yes ma'am” Georgia mumbled ashamed and Magda looked down guilty

“Good... wine anyone?” Pernille smiled happily and you shivered while your girlfriend snorted

“No thank you” you politely declined

“Come on Bronzey... you can have one... we won't tell on you” Magda said grinning

“It's not that” you said as you tried to not heave

“Drunky over here got drunk on red wine last night...” your girlfriend grinned and laid her arm around you on your backrest

“Look at that... and here I thought you were a responsible one” Pernille mused raising her eyebrow at you

“You know the people I grew up with right?” you snorted “Aside from that... I didn't think it would hit me like a Millie”

“Millie?” the blonde swede opposite of Georgia asked confused

“Bright... Brickwall” your girlfriend translated still grinning

“I mean I felt like nothing when I sipped it...” you shrugged your shoulder “... then we sat on the couch and bam.. good night”

“Oh no no... not good night... good night was after Alexia Putellas told you” Georgia laughed and you winced getting reminded of all the laps you will have to run once back in Barcelona

“Alexia Putellas?” Magda said shocked and impressed at the same time

“Yeah... I'm gonna run so many laps for that” you whined “... so many laps”

“Oh stop whining...” Pernille chuckled as she put a bottle of water in front of you “... you're young – you're bound to do stupid things”

“It's Alexia Putellas were talking about...” you looked at her intensely “She's worse than Renard when it comes to stuff like that”

“You played with Wendie Renard?” the swede perked up

“I played with no one” you grumbled and felt how Georgia started to stroke her thumb along the underside of your shoulder blade in a soothing manner “Lucy played with her in Lyon... I might have visited her.. I might got lost in Lyon and Lucy might brought Wendie along to collect me from the police because she didn't speak French so well... Wendie made me run two laps...”

“How are you always getting lost? But good to know I'm not the only one losing you” your girlfriend huffed

“What... you thought you special?” you snorted “The only one who HASN'T lost me is Keira...”

“How?” Magda asked confused

“I'm small.. it's easy” you shrugged your shoulders

“No... the other how?” the blonde swede clarified

“Oh... I just get distracted easily... and then drift off in a different direction” you explained smiling innocently “But that's how I learned “My sister is Lucy Bronze please don't call her she's going to kill me dead” in French”

This made the three blondes burst out laughing and Pernille started to dish out food which you eyed curiously

“What's that?” you asked interested

“Karbonader” Pernille said smiling as she saw you inspect the traditional Danish dish “It's a Danish dish... it's basically a patty made from pork and veal the covered with breadcrumbs and fried...”

“Is it like... spicy?” you asked carefully still inspecting the dish

“Not at all... it's only seasoned with a little salt and pepper...” the blonde Dane smiled “... try it.. if you don't like it I get you something else okay?”

“Okay...” you said and tried a small piece before your eyes lit up and you started to basically shove the whole patty into your mouth

Pernille laughed heart-warmingly as you already stabbed your fork into the next patty but not stopping at one but stabbed a second one on your fork as well

“You don't have to horde Søde... there are more than enough” the Dane laughed at your actions

“This stuff is good” you shot back with your mouth full barely chewing

“I'm sorry... she's a Bronze....” Georgia looked at Pernille apologetic “... I'm happy that she's at least chewing.... Bronzes normally don't chew... it's fascinating really”

“Not even I can eat like this” Magda said bewildered watching you as you jabbed another patty

“Søde... slowly... there are enough Karbonader for everyone... eat some potatoes too...” the blonde Dane laughed but you could here the slight strict tone

“Potatoes stuff up.... if I eat potatoes now I will be done in like... 15 minutes” you answered while chewing another Karbonader

“I don't feel good” you whined and groaned as you were laying spread out on the harderssons couch

“You ate 85% of the stuff yourself... of course you don't feel good...” your girlfriend laughed as she lifted your head to sit down and let your head down in her lap

“Why didn't you stop me then??” you whined as Georgia started to scratch your head lightly

“I TRIED!!! THREE times!!” G defended herself and you heard someone chuckle

“I'm happy I could fascinate you with the Danish cuisine Søde” Pernille chuckled as she followed Georgia and you into her living room sipping on a glass of wine

“Next time I cook” Magda promised smiling widely

“No you won't” Pernille said nonchalantly

“Next time I won't cook... I get Becks to cook... or Frido... you know Frido right?” the swede just kept on talking like her girlfriend didn't just casually forbid her cooking

“She the Barca swede right?” you groaned as you rolled on your side your head still in Georgias lap

“The Barca swede.... she's one of the best players in the world!!” Magda exclaimed shocked

“My sister was runner up to Pinoe in the Ballon d'Or 2019... and you talk about best player in the world” you mumbled but loud enough for everyone to hear

“So was Pernille” the blonde swede grinned smugly

“Magda stop” the Dane looked embarrassed

“You were runner up to Pinoe?” you asked confused looking at the blonde who laughed at your confused face

“No Søde... the year prior...” Pernille chuckled but clearly a little uncomfortable

“Who won?” you asked in awe

“Ada... Hegerberg...” the Dane looked at your childish excitement with a soft smile

“Ada?? That old hag??” you exclaimed your eyes wide as Georgia and Magda bursted out laughing

“Ada is 3 Years younger than I am....” Pernille said dryly

“You as ancient as Luce?? You don't look that ancient” you said with wide eyes

“Lucy is a year older but... thank you?” the Dane didn't know how to react

“Welcome to “Complements 101 by y/n Bronze” … if she likes you she complements you... if she really REALLY likes you it's gonna backhand you with her complement” your girlfriend laughed

“My complements are not backhanded!” you exclaimed

“They are... you congratulated me AND called me old at the same time Søde” Pernille deadpanned

“Am I wrong?” you asked which caused Magda to burst out laughing at the offended face of her girlfriend

“I am still playing on a world class level” the Dane huffed

“I didn't say otherwise... but you not 24 anymore” you shrugged as your girlfriends hand moved to scratch your neck lightly

“I dare you to try and get the ball of me at training” Pernille looked straight at you

“I'm not a defender... I'm not a midfielder... I'm not a forward... I'm not a anything” you said as you melted into Georgias body

“You forget one thing Søde... football is your blood...” the Dane said softly

“Not anymore it isn't... it was for a long time...” you sighed

“We'll get you back on the ball Søde... I saw clips of you playing... even if you can't play professionally anymore... you still need it” Pernille said softly and you saw that she didn't want to push you more then encourage you to get back to the thing you love

“We'll see” you mumbled as you relaxed under the soothing scratching of Georgias fingernails

“She's dead asleep isn't she?” Pernille whispered a few minutes later watching your chest rise and fall calmly

“She is” Georgia confirmed after glancing down at you quickly

“I'm not sure if I pushed her too hard just now” the blonde Dane looked a little bit guilty

“You didn't.... if you did you would've noticed... trust me” your girlfriend snorted

“What do you mean?” Magda asked now watching how your face got even softer as you drifted off deeper and deeper into your dream world

“Leah tried to push her once... y/n had a complete meltdown... so bad we had to get Keira on the phone to calm her down... It took Kei three hours to get her to calm down enough so we could actually enter the room she barricaded her in” Georgia spoke lowly

“What the actual fuck?” Magda looked shocked

“When she get's pushed too far or to hard she just shuts down...” your girlfriend shrugged her shoulders “... but maybe this is what she needs... a little push from Pernille Harder”

“G... I trust you to tell me when she gets overwhelmed.... she's too precious to hurt her further” Pernille looked sternly at her teammate

“I will... I love her you know... I don't ever want to see her as hurt ever again... but I also want to see her on a ball again... this is hurting her too... not playing I mean” Georgia said looking down on your sleeping form

“Oh we can see that” Magda seriously says “... we saw her one day after training when we were leaving – she tricks around a little bit but it was just....”

“... mesmerizing... that's what Keira always calls it...” your girlfriend help the blonde swede out knowing exactly what Magda means

“Yes... exactly that” Magda exclaimed and immediately get hit by her girlfriend when she saw how you flinched in your sleep

“You wanna stay over? I don't know how she is with getting up when she's sleeping.. Magda is a nightmare” Pernille asked smiling slightly when you pushed your nose a little further into Georgias leg

“She's an absolute pest to wake up... but thanks... I'll wake her up in a few minutes... what's on the plan for tomorrow?” your girlfriend said smirking

“Your call G.. we have a guest room and Magda would be happy to set it up for you” the blonde Dane grinned

“I'm what??” the swede asked confused

“You would be happy to set up the guest room for these two... wouldn't you?” Pernille looked at her girlfriend raising her eyebrow

“Ehrm... sure... I'm very skilled in setting up guest rooms” Magda said unsure

“Thanks but I'll just shove her in the back seat and then carry her inside when we're home” Georgia laughed as she started to wake you up by poking your side gently

You just grunted and tried to crawl even deeper into your girlfriends body

“Come on sleepy... let's get home shall we?” your girlfriend chuckled

“Nooooo...” you whined after a few more pokes “... leave me”

“Come on... up you get” Georgia nudged you a little firmer

“Geeeee...” you whined

“Yes... come on... P and Mags want to go to bed to” your girlfriend said as she pushed you up into a sitting position

“Yeah well... then they should go home and not hang around here” you said still half asleep which caused Pernille to burst out laughing

“WE have to go home...” Georgia laughed as you started to wake up a little more

“Why... we are home?” you slurred sleepily

“We are not home... Pernille and Magda a home... we're not home” your girlfriend stated gently

“Well.... why don't we go home then?” you asked confused not able to follow your girlfriends mind

“Because you keep from going home” Georgia chuckled “... come on Baby... up you get”

“Can't we just stay here?” you whined trying to fight Georgias hands who tried to pull you into a standing position while Pernille had to bite her lip really hard to not burst out laughing

“We have a perfect Bed at home and I don't want to listen to get Magda and P get it on” your girlfriend groaned pulling your dead weight up

“Pernille can be quite loud” Magda mused

“And you will pay for that comment” the Dane smiled sweetly making her girlfriend swallow hard

“Come on Baby... a little help” Georgia groaned again

“I help... I'm quarter awake” you slurred

“You can always stay G” Pernille offered again seeing how your girlfriend struggled to hold you upright

“If you maybe.... can drive us?” your girlfriend smiled at her teammate desperately

“Just stay G.... I promise Magda will keep her hands to herself” the blonde Dane said softly

“I'm what?” the swede looked confused

“Are you actually able to do that or do you want to take Bronways place on the couch?” Pernille looked at her girlfriend in challenge

“Bronway?” Georgia asked confused shaking her head lightly

“You really should keep up with hashtags... Bronze.... Stanway... Bronway” the Dane shrugged her shoulders before looking at Magda again “Bed or couch?”

“Bed” Magda mumbled looking down grumpily

“Thank you” Pernille smiled sweetly

“See... the better blonde said we could stay... take me to bed” you mumbled against your girlfriend

“We don't have any clothes here...” your girlfriend pointed out

“I'll just wear yours” you nuzzled your girlfriends neck

“Okay...” Georgia huffed out “.... thank you Pernille for having us”

“No problem” Pernille laughed seeing how whipped G is for you

“Good morning” Pernille smiled at you as you stumbled into her kitchen wearing some boxer shorts and your girlfriends shirt

“Nuh-uh” you grunted pawing at the Danes coffee cup

“I understand....” the blonde chuckled giving up her own cup and getting herself a new one

“What's thank you in dananish?” you mumbled into your coffee cup

“Tak skal du have” Pernille said smiling at your bewildered face

“Tak scandal you have? What scandal?” you looked so confused that the Dane couldn't hold back her laughter

“Tak skal du have....” the Dane spoke slower so you could get the pronunciation right

“Yeah no... keep your scandal... I have enough of that in me life” you waved off plopping down on one of the chairs

“I bet... I imagine it's hard to grow up being Lucy Bronze sister” the blonde said softly refilling your cup

“It's not... but Lucy is after Keira the best thing that happened to me... she never forgot about me... she always included me... every win, every loss...” you mumbled into your cup

“Where's Georgia ranked?” Pernille asked smiling

“Same step as Lucy... don't tell Luce... she'll try to push G off” you said lowly before taking another sip

“Your sister not happy with your relationship?” the blonde asked and you felt that she was genuinely interested

“Not really no... that's why I'm here right now... Lucy was not fair to G and I didn't really want to be around her right now” you whispered biting your lip

“She'll come around... it just takes some time...” Pernille said softly stroking over your wild hair

“You don't know her... she a rhino if she wants to be... ramming through everything that's in her way” you mumbled

“But she wants to see you happy... she wants to know you save” the blonde chuckled at your description of your sister

“Then she should pull the stick out of her ass and show me that she wants to see me happy” you grumbled

“She will” Pernille said before Magda and Georgia entered the kitchen and it was quickly decided that you all would go out for breakfast.

“Babe... we need to get goin” Georgia yelled towards your bedroom

“Yeah....” you yelled back “I don't have anything to wear!”

“You have half a wardrobe!!” your girlfriend yelled back already on her way to the bedroom

“What do one wear for an event like this anyway?” you looked lost at your girlfriend who just appeared in the doorway

“It's Pride Baby... you could go naked and no one would care... I mean... I would care... a lot actually.... and probably Lucy and Keira would care too... and Alexia Putellas.. so... don't go naked please... just wear some shorts and a shirt... something you feel comfortable in” Georgia said smiling

“WHICH shirt... WHICH shorts....” you exclaimed annoyed pointing at the bed where a whole pile of clothes was laying

“Dear Jesus... since when are you so picky when it comes to clothes?” your girlfriend rolled her eyes pulling out a shirt and some shorts from the pile “Here... wear that”

“WHAT????? That doesn't even fit” you squeaked

“It does... shorts...” Georgia held up the shorts “... shirt” she held up the shirt “... works”

“It's red and pink....” you pointed out “... even I know that doesn't work”

“Then... this shirt...” your girlfriend pulled out another shirt

“Black??? On happy parade day??” you questioned her choice

“Okay you know what... no shirt... bikini top” Georgia said clapping her hands not knowing what else to do

“Uuuuhhh... good idea Babe” you smiled happily pulling out a dark blue bikini top

“I know... I just have good ideas” your girlfriend smiled proudly at her solution

“You're dating a Bronze... not sure if that's a good idea” you yelled from the bathroom where you were occupied tying up the top

“That wasn't my idea but okay...” Georgia mumbled

“What?” you yelled not hearing her

“I said that was me best idea so far!!” your girlfriend yelled back as you appeared in the doorway

“I know...” you smiled pressing a kiss to her cheek “... shoes”

“Normal Nikes.. no flip flops... there will be a lot of glass and I don't want to spend me evening in the ER where you get stiches” Georgia said holding out a pair of Nike Dunk High in Dark blue matching the bikini top

“Thanks” you smiled taking the shoes from her hand putting them on “.... come on now Babe... we're going to be late”

You were sitting next to Pernille watching the Bayern girls having a friendly against a small club who was apparently on the outskirts of Munich as a little test game since there where some new Players like Lena Oberdorf and Alex wanted to try some new things – also in hindsight to the upcoming Champions League games. You were rather bored already seeing multiple things the team needs to work on just from the first 20 minutes of play. Lena was an outstanding young player and you kinda clicked with her – she was very reserved but had an amazing humor which you immediately picked up on. The two of you shared multiple insiders – mostly regarding towards Magda who was somehow immune to dark dry humor. You also saw how your girlfriend kinda tried to click with Lena on the field but somehow had her reservations about the young talent. You knew exactly what was going on – Georgia was jealous. She would never admit it but you saw right through her. Even tho you assured her that Lena was just a friend and you two only clicked over your shared love of making fun of Magda your girlfriend grumbled along when you two shared another laugh.

“God this needs to get a little more interesting or I'm gonna fall asleep” you mumbled next to the blonde Dane who just chuckled

“The girls from Obermenzing are playing amazing” Pernille pointed out and you hummed in agreement

“I didn't mean them... I meant your team... midfield fucks up quiet a bit” you said “... they don't connect with the backline and also not to the front.... it's embarrassing to watch it”

“It's not that bad.... and that's exactly why we have these games... to try new things” the blonde smiled starting to gently scratch your neck already figured out it always calms you down

“It is THAT bad!!!” you exclaimed before you threw your arms up “COME ON G.... WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT???!!”

“I can't wait until you have a trainer license” Pernille laughed as the new players looked over to your yelling and the ones who already knew you hung their head low while Alex turned away from the field laughing quietly

“You wanna take over?” the man asked you a big smile plastered on his face

“Better not... I would kick their asses into next century and it's just a test game” you grumbled before jumping up “MAGDA!!!! STOP THINKING ABOUT YOUR WIFES PUS...”

Pernille slapped her hand so fast over your mouth that you stumbled back a little bit

“I swear Søde... I'll will lock you inside if you don't calm down a bit.... no actually... if you don't calm down a LOT” the Dane sneered under her breath

“It's not my fault YOUR wife....” you grumbled under Ps hand

“Girlfriend.... she doesn't get her shit together so she'll still my girlfriend” Pernille huffed and you started to chuckle

“So you want to be her wife?” you smirked as Pernille finally released you again

“Of course... but I'm not gonna be the one asking... that's her job... I already asked her to be my girlfriend...” the Dane shrugged her shoulders

“I'll let her know” you smirked as the blonde pulled you into her side

“You can give her a hint.... don't you dare tell her drop down on her knee” the blonde said seriously “... she can use her brain”

“I can also kick her in the back of the knee and push a ring into her hand...” you chuckled which made Pernille laughed out loud

“I said a hint... not doing everything for her” the blonde laughed

“GEORGIA MARIE STANWAY!!!! YOUR TEAM PLAYS IN READ NOT IN WHITE/BLUE!!! ARE YOU SUDDENLY COLOR BLIND???” you suddenly exclaimed seeing how your girlfriend messed up another pass and she looked over to you ashamed shrugging her shoulders apologetic

“Full name? It's just a test game” Pernille chuckled

“I don't care.... that was an amateur mistake.... I don't tolerate amateur mistakes” you grumbled

“I wouldn't want to have you as a trainer... you need to calm down søde” the Dane said calmly

“What I need is for this team to pull the stick out of their asses and start playing” you grumbled your face dark

“Just a test game... not the Champions League final....” Pernille tried to calm you down

“If you guys play like this you'll never reach the final... Barca will eat you for Lunch” you said seriously “... and I don't want that... I want you to upset them... I want that you make them work...”

“We'll challenge that problem when we get there.. now lean back and enjoy all the ways Magda and Georgia play like they never saw a ball before” the Dane smiled softly

It was just after the second half started where you leaped out of your seat already on your way onto the field when Pernille grabbed your middle holding you back. Your girlfriend laid on the grass her face scrunched up in pain holding her knee

“Let me go” you fought Pernilles grip around your torso

“I can't... you can't go there right now...” the Dane whispered next to your ear

“That looked bad P... I need to...” you said your eyes never leaving your girlfriend as the team docs already kneeled down next to her starting their routine

“She's okay... she's okay søde” Pernille repeated into your ear her grip never faltering

“What if's...” you chocked out

“It's not.... calm down... she's okay” the Dane said calmly “They'll get her off for precaution but she's okay”

“If she walks off I'll kick that knee” you said seriously but Pernille knew it was your way of coping with the scare you just had

“And I'll let you... but look... she accepts the help from the guys” the Dane slightly tilted your head so you can watch your girlfriend hobbling off the field held up by two of the physios

“I need...” you immediately tried to follow but again got held back by Pernille

“Give them a few minutes to check her trough...” the blonde said calmly while Linda gets on the field replacing Georgia

“But...” you said helplessly

“I'll bring you to her as soon as they let us okay... but right now they need the space to work properly” Pernille stayed calm for your sake

“I just....” you tried again and again the Dane interrupted you

“I know... but right now you would be in the way... she probably just twisted it.. I know what you're fearing but it's not...” the blonde said seriously finally loosening the grip around your torso

15 Minutes later which felt like hours to you one of the physios appeared in the tunnel nodding towards Pernille who sat next to you letting you squeeze her hand so hard that she feared you'd break it. The blonde slightly nudged you signaling you to stand up and go with the physio but to her big surprise you pulled her with you. So Pernille followed you as you slowly approached the tunnel your fears getting the best of your

“Go on Søde... it's okay... Gs okay...” the blonde gently pushed you forward using her whole body

“I'm scared P....” you mumbled

“No need to be... she's okay....” Pernille said softly pushing you further down into the tunnel towards the medical room

“Promise me she's okay...” you mumbled still refusing to walk forward probably so the Dane pushed you

“I Promise Søde....” the blonde whispered and you took a tentative step towards the door looking at her for help “... just go I there... I need to get back to yell at Magda in your name okay”

“Okay...” you nodded but Pernille saw how your hands were trembling

“What's the diagnosis” you asked your voice cracking

"Hey Baby...” Georgia said the second you stepped through the door into the barely lit room

“Overstretched one of the tendons... nothing bad... two weeks of resting and crutches for a week and I'm as good as new...” your girlfriend answered calmly knowing where your thoughts went immediately

“Thank fuck...” you breathed out in relief and before you could stop them tears were running down your cheeks “... you can't do that G... you can't go down clutching your knee... clutch your ankle or head or wrist... but you can't clutch your knee... please”

“Come here Baby...” Georgia held her hand out still laying on the treatment bed her knee covered in two big ice packs and you waited until she wriggled her fingers at you before you took the step towards her “... another one... come to me Baby”

“I...” you chocked out

“I'm okay... come to me Baby...” your girlfriend said softly knowing why you were so hesitant

You finally made your way over to her and the second her hand closed around yours you broke down and if it wasn't for G reacting so quickly and closing her arms around you you would have found yourself on the floor

“It's okay Baby... I've got you and everything is okay” Georgia whispered pulling you up and on the bed next to her

“You just can't do that G... you just can't” you whimpered into her neck while she held you closely to her side

“I'm sorry Baby.... but everything is okay... I promise... you just have to hold open the doors for me now...” your girlfriend tried to lighten the mood as she pressed sweet kisses to your forehead

“The fuck I will... you can use your ass to open doors” you mumbled as you clinged to her frame “... I used my ass so you can too”

“You do have a nice ass...” Georgia smirked squeezing your ass making you squeal

After an amazing Day where you met even more amazing people you were laying in your girlfriends arms on her couch in her small Munich apartment watching a mens game as it suddenly hit you like a ton of bricks and you couldn’t stop the tears escaping your eyes. First Georgia didn’t seem to notice as she had her arms tightly around you, your head on her chest. Just as your silent tears soaked through her shirt she looked down at you to find you crying

“I know the men are playing bad Baby… but you don’t have to cry” she tried to lighten the mood but that only made you cry harder.

You choked out a heartbreaking sob as you accepted internally that there was no use in holding it back anymore. Your body shook with every sob as you fell into to the depth of your hurting

“hey… hey” Georgia said a slight panic in her voice as she tried to figure out what wad happening “what’s wrong babe… talk to me”

“It hurts G… it hurts so much” you choked out not having the strength in you to explain further.

“what hurts baby… please… tell me… I can help” your girlfriend asked as she was on the verge of tears herself seeing you like this

You just shook your head somehow trying to tell her you just can’t talk as a new wave of sobs made it out of your throat and you started to feel how breathing became a problem

“Okay… okay… you need to calm down and breathe for me baby” Georgia tried her best to calm you down (and stay calm herself) but she saw quickly that it was no use

“Lucy or Keira… Lucy or keira” she mumbled to herself as she thought about who to call

After the fifth time the woman she call FINALLY picked up

“I swear to God Stanway if my sis…” Lucy answered the phone being in Barcelona at a gym session for Georgia to interrupt her quickly

“She’s crying Lucy… she’s crying so bad and she hardly takes a breath and I don’t know what to do” your girlfriend rambled the panic in her voice returning as you held onto her shirt for dear life

“Face time” was the only thing Lucy said before hanging up and seconds later Georgias phone rang with a face time request.

She immediately accepted the request and as soon as Lucys sweaty face appeared on the screen she angled the phone so Lucy could see her sister.

Lucys heart broke the second she saw her baby sister sobbing heartbreakingly clutching to Georgia as if her life would end without the physical contact her girlfriend provided. Your face was red from crying your eyes puffy and Lucy would swear on her life that she saw a little blue tint on your lips from oxygen deprivation.

“Hey… hey Bubs” your Sister spoke softly as she tried to get your attention “Bubs I need you to breath…. Deep breaths”

Just like before as Georgia tried you didn’t react except for sobbing out choked flat breaths.

Georgia could see the movement on the screen as Lucy left the Gym to have more peace and quiet – you on the other hand just kept on sobbing

“Lucy… what… what can I do?” your girlfriend asked helplessly as she tried to pull you even closer.

“You’re doing great G… just…. Keep holding her… use those arm sessions they make us do every camp and hold her… I’m on my way” Lucy said encouraging hoping to calm Georgia down a bit “but I need to know what happened”

“I…. I… I don’t know” your girlfriend stuttered repositioning both of you so you were sitting up your head no in the crook of her neck continuing to cry “… we were just laying on the couch watching a game and suddenly she started crying… I tried to make a joke about how the men weren’t THAT bad and she just completely broke down”

“It’s okay G… I knew that day would come and I’m sorry for not talking to you about it… giving you a heads up… but you’re doing good… just try and get her to breath” your sister said already signaling Alexia she needs to talk to her

“Breath for me baby… I know you can… concentrate on me and my breathing” Georgia murmured into your hair as she pulled you closer.

You took a few shallow breaths before returning to just basically choke on the air

“That was good baby… you need to do it again” Georgia started to stroke your back hoping you would find comfort in the simple action “one more time baby” she whispered against your forehead before pressing a soft kiss to it

You started to calm down the tiniest of bit taking another shallow breath

“Good… you’re doing so good” your girlfriend mumbled against the crown of your hair “take another breath baby… I know it’s hard but you can do it”

“G… I need to go… I promise I’m on my way…. Just… hang in there G… you’re doing great as well you know... I’m there as soon as possible… text me your address” Lucy said and Georgia nodded before ending the call to concentrate on you.

Slowly – very VERY slowly – you started to calm down enough to take a real breath. You still were clinging to Georgia, her shirt (and neck) soaked in tears but hell she wouldn’t let go of you for all that was holy to her.

On the other end Lucy just reached Alexia

“What can I do for you Lucia?” the blonde asked seeing her friend and teammate in distress

“I need some time off… can’t tell you for how long” Lucy said her voice lined with stress and anxiety

“May I ask why? We have some important games coming up” Alexia asked confused knowing Lucy would never skip games

“Family emergency” your sister just said looking at her friend trying to bring her point across

“Go” was the only thing Alexia said as she caught up on the fact who this “family emergency” was about “I’ll talk to everyone just go…”

“Thanks Alexia” Lucy yelled over her shoulder as she ran back to the gym quickly gathering her stuff

All of her teammates looked at her confused and it was Mapí who spoke up

“What’s the hurry Lucy… is there an all you can eat buffet we don’t know about?” the tattooed woman joked and earned a few laughs from some teammates

“Family emergency” was the short answer before she looked up and met Keiras eyes just for a second but it was enough.

“I’m coming with you” the blonde englishwoman said determinant as she too started to grab her stuff

“You can’t… I just talked to capi for some days off and…” Lucy started but got interrupted quickly

“… and nothing… I don’t care…. I’m coming with you… they can fine me or kick me off the team but I won’t let you go alone… someone needs to look after G as well… poor girl is probably freaking out” Keira said and Lucy knew there was no way in hell her ex would stay put

“I’ll drive you book the flights” your sister simply said as she turned around to Ona “I’m sorry… I…. I be back soon”

“Just make sure she’s okay and don’t come back without her” the spaniard just said knowing from the second Lucy looked at Keira who they were talking about

“I’ll try…. But I don’t think she’ll come here without G” your sister offering a small smile

“Then bring her too… she’ll fit right into our team” Ona also had a small smile on her lips

“OH shit…” Mapí exclaimed finally catching on “… I’m coming too…”

“No you’re not" Alexia said sternly just entering the gym “this is a family matter that doesn’t concern you”

“But..” Mapí said desperately

“No but María León…” Alexia shot her a glare – the infamous captain glare before turning towards Lucy and Keira “why are you still here?”

“Already leaving” Lucy said as she already was halfway through the door

Lucy pulled out her phone to call Georgia back to find a message from her “She calmed down… won’t answer any calls don’t want to set her off again … here’s my address – second floor, go right when you come up, second door… my neighbor had a key and I texted her to let her know you’ll come and pick up the key”

“Okay… I can work with that” Lucy mumbled as she texted Georgia back “call me if you need anything..”

“Next flights out is in an hour…” Keira looked up from her phone as the two reached Lucys car “… and they’re not cheap”

“I don’t care – book them… here’s my card” Lucy answered as she slipped into the drivers seat opening her wallet and giving Keira her credit card

“I can pay for my own flight” the blonde rolled her eyes

“Just… book them woman” your sister said annoyed as she maneuvered her car into the traffic and towards the airport

Meanwhile in Munich you couldn’t bring yourself to let go of Georgia who retreated to stroke your back and whispering sweet nothings into your hair while she help you as tight as possible without hurting you. Your breathing was nearly back to normality but you still hadn’t moved your head from the crook of her neck. The silence between you was immensely calming to you just feeling your girlfriends love and presence without pushing you to talk.

“Music?” G whispered lowly not to startle you

As you nodded your head against her neck she moved a little to get the remote for the stereo which caused you to grab her shirt tighter again

“Not going anywhere Baby” the blonde whispered “just need to grab the remote – know you don’t like the quiet too much”

It were the little things like this that made you fall even more for her. Georgia might be loud and aggressive on the pitch and even louder after a win in the locker room but she notice the little things about you. How you prefer your coffee out of the same cup every morning for months before choosing a new cup. How you prefer the one brand of chocolate spread for breakfast over the other one. How you need your 20 minutes of peace in the morning before you were approachable. How you always stole her old England shirt and every time you visited it conveniently appearing on top in your drawer. How you love her hugs when both of you get home – just the two of you without the world watching. How her eyes always find you in a sold out stadium. How she looks at you like you’re the only person in the world even when you’re surrounded by 90.000 fans. Or just now how she knows you can’t stand the silence around you and starting her calming Spotify Playlist without needing to ask what you need to hear – all these things and more make you fall for her over and over again. But right now you needed Lucy – Lucy and Keira.

You don't know how much time passed before you distantly heard the front door of Gs apartment open and seconds later you got pulled off your girlfriend. You were startled for a second before a familiar scent hit your nose and all these feelings bubbled to the top again and you started to sob into Lucys neck as you clinged to her for dear life

“It's okay Bubs... I'm here now... I'm here” Lucy squeezed you against her getting the two of you away from Georgia and Keira who immediately went to her best friends side for support

“It hurts so much Luce... I wanna play again... I want to play and feel free... I want to feel the grass and the ball and the adrenalin when scoring” you cried into your sisters neck

“I know Bubs.. I know...” your sister just whispered as she laid down on the bed pulling you into her side while you simply can't stop crying

“I don't know what happened Kei...” Georgia was still in utter shock when Keira pulled her into the kitchen starting to make a tea for both of them “... suddenly she just.... I don't know”

“It's okay G.... you did everything right... we knew this day would come and I'm so glad it was with you” Keira said softly

“But... what happened??” your girlfriend asked lost

“She finally let go of the pain she bottled up... you just know her after she had to stop playing... but she's only a shell of herself – and I pray to god every night that he'll let her be the person she was before that... you'll see once she starts to work things out she'll be a totally different person” the blonde smiled through her tears

“But will she still want me in her life then?” Georgia asked scared

“Of course G... you are the reason she started to heal.... you made her feel so save and secure and loved – you managed something Lucy and I never did... you made her open up” Keira reassured her best friend

“I'm scared she'll only see hurt when she looks at me” your girlfriend mumbled accepting the tea Keira holds out for her

“Bullshit G.... I won't lie it's gonna be hard... on both of you – but you already showed that you'll be by her side no matter what and that you'll do the right thing when times are tough” the blonde squeezed her best friends shoulder lightly but then she saw the crutches “... why are there crutches in the kitchen??”

“Twisted me knee in a friendly...” Georgia admitted sheepishly

“Georgia!!!” Keira scolded her best friend pulling out a chair pushing the younger player down

“It's not bad... but it sent her spiraling...” your girlfriend said absently trying to hear what was going on in her bedroom with you and Lucy

“She's okay G.... Lucy won't let her hurt herself” the blonde said softly knowing what her best friend tries to do

“I should be with her...” Georgia mumbled “... she must think I abandoned her the second she let herself be vulnerable”

“She doesn’t.... and you will be with her... but Lucy needs to see and especially feel that she's okay you know... we're gonna get a room in a hotel and leave you two alone through the night and tomorrow morning we'll battle whatever we have to fight” Keira spoke calmly

“There's a small B&B around the corner here... I doubt Lucy wants to be too far away... the owners are nice and they're not too expensive...” your girlfriend said trying to stand up to retrieve the business card

“Stay.... I'll google it” the blonde said sternly pushing her best friend back into the chair when the two heard the bedroom door open and Lucy appeared in the doorway of the kitchen

“She's sleeping....” your sister said monotone sitting down opposite to Georgia with a stoic face

“Lucy....” Keira said softly trying to get a reaction out of her ex-girlfriend

“She's going to be okay... someday.... somehow... she's going to be okay” Lucy said her voice flat and suddenly she couldn't hold back the tears anymore and broke down – in the middle of Munich at Georgias kitchen table

“Lucy...” Keira tried again when her and Lucy walked the short distance to the B&B Georgia recommended earlier

“I can't Kei... I can't talk about it right now...” your sister said dismissively “We need to make a plan... I won't leave without her but she won't leave without G... so we need a plan”

“G twisted her knee earlier today.... so she unknowingly bought us some time... we'll take them both back to Barcelona... I'll text Alexia that she looks into vacation apartments... a week or two....” the blonde said knowing Lucy will talk to her when she's ready

“They can stay at mine and Onas...” Lucy said absently already fishing out her phone

“No Luce... they need their own place.... Alexia knows enough people to get an apartment where we all can be in five minutes if G calls us for help” Keira said laying her hand on top of Lucy telling her silently not to take actions

“You didn't hear her Kei... she begged me to let her kill herself... and apparently she tried before....” your sister started to cry again and all Keira could do is pull Lucy into a hug trying desperately not to cry

“I know... I knew... Lessi spilled the beans once when she was pissed drunk...” the blonde mumbled

“And you didn't think telling me???” Lucy exclaimed angrily pushing herself away from the blonde

“What difference would it have been Lucy?? You having a go at her for doing something stupid when she felt abandoned and alone?? You think that would've helped?” Keira also got upset a little bit

“I could've...” your sister tried but realized she had no idea what she would've done

“... done nothing Lucy.... you could've done nothing... it's done... in the past... and she never tried again... she doesn't even like to take pills anymore because of that... she's too scared that one Ibuprofen would kill her... so you could've done nothing and you won't do anything... you won't give her a talk and you won't hold it against her...” the blonde said firmly

“She's my sister!!! I need to protect her” Lucy said desperately

“She's my everything Lucy... and as much as I wished I can protect her from the world we CAN'T... we can be at her side when she needs us to help her stay upright but we can't protect her from everything...” Keira said trying to get through to her ex-girlfriend

“But what if it's not enough Kei?” your sister asked afraid

“Then we have to trust in everyone else who has her back that one of them is the right person to help her... and you have to trust G that she knows what she's doing...” the blonde said softly

“Okay...” Lucy took a deep breath “... okay... there are a lot of people who love her and will help when she needs it”

“Exactly.... you know she always had different people for different problems...” Keira smiled slightly “... but all of them would drop everything they're doing and come get her”

“You think we can go back to Barcelona tomorrow? I think it would do her some good... the warm weather and everything you know....” your sister looked up at her ex-girlfriend valuing her opinion

“Give her a day... G also needs some time to talk to the club if they're okay with her leaving.... Bitsy will sleep most of the time tomorrow anyway..... oh and Alexia needs time to set up an apartment” Keira answered “... but we should have a plan IF Bitsy wants to get out of the house tomorrow... I'll talk to G maybe she knows somewhere where we can have a little anonymity and can walk a little bit... but not too much with crutch-y”

“Good idea... zoo?” Lucy immediately started planning in her head

“Too many people... we can rent a car and go somewhere landside.....” the blonde said as they finally reached the small B&B and after a little communication problems (and maybe a call to G so she could translate) Lucy and Keira found themselves in small but cozy rooms where both of them fell asleep pretty quickly

“Slowly Bubs...” Lucy tried to grab your shirt as you sprinted forward

“But Lucy look...” you pointed excitedly towards the eagle who sat in his enclosure looking at you suspiciously

“A bird yes.... this is a bird place... they have birds” your sister rolled her eyes “... ooof”

“Don't be so sarcastic” Keira sneered after she elbowed her ex-girlfriend into the rips “She's having fun”

“She's pretending that what she is...” Lucy mumbled back “... she can't be nearly back to normal after she wanted to die yesterday”

“And if it helps her let her pretend...” the blonde huffed watching you as you looked up to the big eagle with awe

“Ehrm guys.... help please” you heard Georgia say and when Lucy turned around she bursted out laughing seeing her friend caught up with the rail and her crutches

“Just throw them crutches to the bottom of the stairs and hobble down Babe..” you said dismissively turning back to the big brown bird

“That's Harry... she's a seven year old Golden Eagle female...” one of the Keepers said having watched you for the last ten minutes

“She's beautiful” you whispered feeling like the bird looked right into your soul

“She's also very introverted... she doesn't interact with anyone” the young man said “... she doesn't even touch her food until everyone is gone....”

“She's hurting...” you said your voice low “... she misses her partner”

And just like that the big bird spread it wings and came down from her branch landing right in front of you

“You are, aren't you....” you whispered looking down at the majestic animal “... I know how it feels to hurt”

“She never done that... she never came down from her spot” the keeper says next to Lucy

“Yeah... my sister has some kind of talent...” Lucy watched you like a hawk when you decided to stick some fingers through the fence and the bird tilted its head a little bit

“Please don't...” the young man said and immediately got shushed by Lucy and Keira

“You need a new friend don't you” you whispered not noticing what’s happening around you but smiled when the eagle screeched at your words

“Bitsy...” Keira said softly trying to get you out of your bubble

“She needs a friend Kei...” you mumbled but your eyes never leave the bird

“But this can't be you... we can't take an Eagle back to Barcelona... and she wouldn't be happy there...” the blonde softly knowing exactly what you implied

“But...” you looked at Keira pleadingly

“No Bits... you don't want to make her more unhappy don't you... Barcelona is not a place for big birds” Keira said softly

“But we can visit her, sí?” you looked at the blonde with hopeful eyes

“Whenever you want Bits” the blonde smiled

“You need to find a friend for her... she doesn't care if it's another Eagle... try a parrot” you turned around to the young man marching of without looking back just as Georgia made her way down to the little group

“Oh come on... I just got here” you heard your girlfriend whine

“Bubs...” Lucy sprinted after you “... you know it's the best...”

“You don't understand Luce” you mumbled

“Go back and say bye to her... she's still sitting there waiting for you” your sister said softly

“I don't want to” you said and Lucy immediately knew why

“Don't leave her like her partner did Bubs... I know you two have a connection... everyone saw it... okay G didn't... she took to long... don't hurt her even more” Lucy kept her voice soft and it made you tear up again as you turned around and marched back to the enclosure

“Bye Harry... I come back soon I promise” you mumbled as you stick your fingers through the fence again and the bird pressed her head against your fingertips

“Okay... gracias Ale...” you heard Keira say into the phone as she kept stirring the tomatoes sauce “No... no that's okay... perfect... gracias Alexia”

“I'm hungry” you huffed bored

“10 minutes Bits” the blonde looked at you her phone still between her shoulder and ear “Go set the table”

“I'm sitting at the table” you groaned

“SET …. not sit... no sorry Ale...” Keira shot you a look before turning back to her call

“LUCY!! Keira said you should set the table” you yelled and smirked victorious

“I'm talking to G...” Lucy yelled back and you groaned knowing you have to do it

“I'll always be there Bubs... whenever you need me Bubs” you imitated her under your breath “... my ass”

“It's just setting the table” Keira lightly kicked you rolling her eyes just ended the call with Alexia

“What's the next step?” you asked changing the topic

“Tomorrow we all fly back to Barcelona...” Keira said as she drained the pasta “... Alexia found a small two bedroom apartment for you and G... not to far from Lucy and Ale herself.. a little further from my place... so whoever you need... we'll only be a text away okay?”

“How far is Mapí away?” you asked

“About 15 minutes...” the blonde answered truthfully

“Tweedledee and Tweedledumb?” you looked at Keira seriously

“Same... 15 Minutes... and before you ask.. I think even Jenni would come running if you ask” Keira smiled “... all the way from Mexico”

“I miss the Beach” you mumbled

“Tomorrow Bits... you can stay the whole day at the beach.... just you and G” the blonde smiled trying to cheer you up

“Okay...” you nodded before turning to the living room “DINNER IS READY!!!”

“COMING” you heard Lucy and when your sister and girlfriend entered the kitchen you knew something was up

“What's going on??” you asked eyeing them suspiciously

“Nothing” both of them answered quickly

“Georgia Marie....” you pointed at your girlfriend accusingly “... I swear...”

“The pasta is delicious” Georgia looked at Keira who started laughing

“No sex for a year” you sneered before taking a fork full of pasta yourself

“WHAT?? Baby” your girlfriend whined

“You sided with my sister” you grumbled

“You two can discuss that tomorrow in Barcelona...” Keira said firmly “... now we eat and then bed...”

“Yes mom” all three of you grumbled and you kicked Lucy for good measure against the shin
