A/N: This is set before Ellie went to Spurs
All I was trying to do was enjoy a nice jog, I mean London, specifically north London has beautiful scenery. Lots of people wouldn't expect it but there are actually quite a few nice routes, such as through a park by the water.
That was all ruined though. By none other than my big sister.
I think I received the worst news of my life, that's right worse than when my dad done a magic trick and disappeared out of our lives and it all happened in a simple phone call.
"Hey (Y/n/n) how are you?" Ellie said making small talk. She never makes small talk, Els is very much a straight to the point kind of person.
"Who are you, what have you done to my sister and why the hell are you making small talk?" I asked, bombarding her with questions.
"Well, you know how my contract with Brighton was up and I refused an extension..." She trailed off.
"Yes I do Els, now get to the point. Don't beat round the bush."
"I got a couple offers, from Arsenal, spurs and Bournemouth." What is she getting at. Jonas hasn't said theres any new signings here so it cant be arsenal.
"I wouldn't get game time at Arsenal so I declined that one." That makes sense.
"Bournemouth aren't at the same level as any team in the WSL so I declined that one." No. Absolutely not. She couldn't have right? She wouldn't.
"No. Absolutely not. Tell me you didn't please tell me you didn't. You cant join them." I said at a scarily fast rate, as it all clicked. The nervousness, the small talk. Ellie cant join them though. She just can't.
"I have accepted a contract with Tottenham Hotspur. I'm signing the contract soon and thought you would rather hear it from me than the media." Ellie paused to see if I would say anything. "(Y/n/n), are you okay?"
"mhm. Fine."
"You don't sound it, say your mind like you always have."
"Are you stupid?" I asked which I could tell surprised Ellie.
"Sorry?" She asked me, making sure she heard me right.
"You heard me. Are. You. Stupid?" I asked again but slower to make sure all the information got inside her thick brain.
"No? I don't think so?" Ellie answered as more as a question so I took this as my time to rant.
"Why the hell would you pick spurs. Hell I would pick Bournemouth, ever spurs. What do we think of Tottenham? Shit! You could be here in the best team in London right now but you had to pick the worst team in the world. I would rather you go to Chelsea than Tottenham because they aren't a horrible team. No one like Tottenham for a reason, it shouldn't be a club like at all." I ranted at her, none of this is directed at her, mainly about how she chose spurs when I hate the team, all of England do to be honest. Other than the odd couple sods.
"I get that, but I would get more game time than I am right now, it's a decent team with amazing players. I think I'll enjoy it there, hey I might even get you a Tottenham shirt for your birthday or Christmas." Ellie joked.
"Game time, yay. Tottenham, no. Also if you ever try give me a Tottenham shirt for my birthday or Christmas I will set it on fire, and i'l make sure its the ugliest fire to match the shirt."
"Don't you have a Tottenham shirt though?"
"Yeah Beth England's, we play together for lionesses remember, I only done that cause she asked and it was after a match. Besides that things at the back of the very large collection I have. It's never getting anywhere near the front. If I ever get any more of those shirts it's going behind Chelsea and thats saying something."
"Sooo, are you okay with this? It doesn't matter or affect my choice but just so I know."
"I'm... I'm... I'm okay with it?" I said with much difficulty, it makes me feel sick saying that. "You know what Els?"
"Whats up (Y/n/n)?" She asked with a small laugh as she could tell I was over reacting on purpose. Or so she thinks. It's Tottenham nothings over reacting. They're just the club that can never win a trophy and everyone hates.
"I was having a good morning before now. Don't get me wrong I love seeing my ugly big sisters face but this is the worst news of the day, of the week. No the century. This is worse than World War 2! This is world war 3 right now, beginning now. If any positives are going to come out of it, it's now I can beat you and spurs at the same time." I replied with a shrug which caused Ellie to roll her eyes at me as I continued walking after my short stop.
"Like to see you try." Els said sticking her tongue out at me.
"Try, I know I can." I laughed. "Go sign the contract, good luck."
"See you later (Y/n/n) yeah? Not that far from each other now."
"Bye Els, see you soon."
