Lizzie

I was back in the hotel room, waiting for Freyja to get out of the shower. Rejection hurts a lot. I sighed as I keep thinking back to that one moment where she hit me in the face. Should I talk to her? Or wait for her to make the first move? I wouldn't know. All I know, is that I need something to get my mind off all this mess. I look up as the bathroom door opens. I walk past her and take a hot shower. It helps me take my mind off things as I let the water fall on my body. About 2 minutes later, I get out and dry myself, putting on my favourite hoodie and walking to the main room. Freyja stands at the mirror, doing her make-up. "Oh there you are. We are going out, want to join?" She asks and I smile, grabbing my favourite hotpants and croptop, some heels I brought with me and do some quick make-up. Freyja smiles as finish our make-up and I grab my leather jacket and my phone and wallet. "Let's go." I say with a smile and she laughs. "Oh how I love that victorious smile of yours after you won." Freyja tells me while we walk downstairs and I laugh. "It was just too fun, to watch the guys wrestle against us. I mean, Alfie isn't really a shotcaller, but he isn't terrible either. But because I am the only shotcaller in our team, it just works better." I say and she stops me. "It is not just that. You are really versatile in champions. You are really easy to draft with, because your champpool is bigger than Faker's. You were risking a lot with that Morgana, but it worked out. You know where weaknesses are and you try to close them, where most teams focus on the biggest weak link." She explains to me and I smile. "Thanks Freyja." I say as we walk downstairs. Once in the main lobby, people are staring after me and Freyja, and once arrived at the boys, I catch QuickShot and Eefje glancing at me. "Let's go." I say, trying to be hyped up, and Erik smiles. "Yeah let's go." He says and I follow him. We walk in front and he informs me that when some casters heard we were going out, they decided to join too." He says and I look at him. "And she is with them?" I ask and he nods. I sigh and keep walking.

Once we arrived in the club, we all went separate ways. Me, Erik and Ezra stayed together, drinking and cracking jokes. Ezra was constantly watching the door as Erik kept paying my refills. I didn't mind, it brought my mind to a better place, in my opinion. Ezra and Erik kept exchanging looks and then when I was drunk enough, they turned to me. "We wanted to talk to you Lizzie." Ezra says and I look at him. "Say it." I say with a slurred voice and Erik laughs. "Well, the thing is, Erik kind of told me about what happened today, so we didn't want this to be kept a secret. Erik and I are dating." He tells me and I look at him, starting to giggle. They turn to each other and shrug. I smile and turn to them. "I knew the both of you were gay." I giggle and they sigh. "She's 100% drunk." Erik says and Ezra nods. Erik grabs his phones, types something and puts his phone away again. Purely coincidentally, Eefje walks into the club at the same time and walks to our booth. Ezra and Erik leave and before I can follow, she and Quickshot are at my table. "I'll go." I mutter and try to stand up, but QuickShot pushes me down again. "You'll listen first." He says and looks at Eefje. "I'll be with the others. Good luck." He says and I look at him as he walks away. "Hey." She starts after it has been silent for a while. "Hey." I mutter back and she laughs. "Must be strange, to talk to me after my sudden outburst this afternoon." She says and I shrug. "I mean, what other could you do? Run away? I mean, yeah it hurt, but at least I know you don't like me." I say and she laughs. "You are really drunk." She says and I look at her. She bends over the table and grab my hands. "I don't hate you, I am not straight, and yes I shouldn't have hit you, but you telling Erik you loved me, surprised me. I just didn't know how to respond and I just hit you square in the face, but the truth is, I do love you Lizzie. And I wanna give us a chance. You are legit the sole reason I barely slept this split, because you are the reason I struggle accepting the person I am. Because you made me face my inner demons, you made me realise, that dating a guy was purely to forget I didn't love them. You are the reason I am the Eefje I was this split." She says and I hear the desperation in her voice for me to tell or ask her something. I swallow and look at her. "So you don't hate me?" I ask, my voice breaking at the end. She shakes her head and I smile I get up and pull her up too. "Let's go dance." I say and pull her towards the dance floor.

The rest of the night is a blur for me. I remember dancing, making out a little with Eefje, drinking more and more and the best part, Eefje and I going to her hotel room. The next morning I wake up with the hangover of doom but as I open my eyes, I see Eefje sleeping in my arms. I smile as I look at her beautiful, orange-like hair. She sleeps peacefully, so I reach out for my phone to check the time and my messages. I see it is already 12pm, and to my shock, our teamchat exploded with messages. Photos of last night, the team hugging after we won yesterday, but most of all, worried messages about me.

"[7.39]Freyja: She still hasn't arrived."

"[10.59]Oliver: Tried to call her, got voicemail."

"[11.00]Luis: I give her to 1pm to call us. Knowing where she woke up last time she was hung over, it can take a little while."

"[11.52]Ezra: I am getting worried now too."

"[11.53]Alfie: Krepo saw her leave with Eefje, but Eefje's phone was dead, so he couldn't reach her."

"[12.02]Liz: Guys I am okay, just woke up. Will be home around 3pm."

"[12.03]Freyja: Thank God you responded. Where have you been?"

"[12.03]Sabine: You are in trouble Liz, a lot of trouble."

"[12.04]Luis: Let her Sabine, she is safe and probably slept somewhere safe too."

"[12.05]Liz: I slept on Eefje's hotel couch. I was too drunk to go home alone."

I shut off my phone when I feel Eefje move and look at her. I see her eyes opening tiredly and smile as she seems really happy I stayed. "What time is it?" She mutters and I smile. "A little over noon. How are you?" I ask and she seems really happy. "I am okay, now that you are still here." She tells me and I smile. "Must've been as hard for you as for me to stay away from you." I say and she smiles. "Really hard, since I was convinced you were really straight. I always saw you interact with the guys and rarely with any other girls than you coach and analyst." She tells me and I smile. She sits up, groans as she notices the disgusting headache a hangover gives you before looking me in the eye. "You are 100% what I ever wanted in my life. Someone who doesn't give up on me." she says and I smile. "And you are everything I ever wanted. Kind, caring and ridiculously smart." I say and she blushes. She grabs my chin and brings it to her lips. As our lips connect, I feel more awake and alive than ever. The headache fades away and her soft lips are the only think I can even think about. As she ends the kiss, I open my eyes and stare in her grey ones. "Wow." We say at the same time and I laugh. "That was amazing." I say and she giggles. "You are amazing." She says, laying her head against my chest. I smile and pet her head. "This might be unnecessary, but will you be my girlfriend?" She asks and I nod. She smiles as she pulls me down again in a laying position. "When do you have to be back?" she asks and I smile. "3 o'clock." I tell her and she smiles. "good, that leaves us 2 and a half hours together." She sighs in a content voice and I smile, pulling her against me closely.

Around 2.30pm, after we freshened up, we left for my hotel, about 15 minutes from Eefje's hotel. We walked through Krakow, holding hands until we reach the hotel. We enter the lobby and are immediately engulfed by the team. Ezra, Erik, Luis and Freyja immediately are around my nech, Aidan and Joe thank Eefje for bringing me home and Sabine looks pissed off. "You have problem." She says and I look at her, rolling my eyes. "No she doesn't." Oliver says, suddenly appearing from the stairs and looking at her. "Or do you want me to tell them where you spend the night, and with who?" He asks and she looks at him furiously. "You wouldn't dare." She says and he smiles. "Oh but I would. She spend the night in..." Oliver starts before he is cut off by a pissed looking Sabine "That's enough Oliver." She interrupts Oliver but Ezra is immediately looking at Oliver. "Tell us Oliver." He commands and Oliver looks at us. "She slept over at Hybrid's room, and tried to sneak into our room at 7am in the morning." Oliver says and I look at her. "Sabine?" I ask and she looks at me. "And you were sleeping at Sjokz' room." She turns to me and I hear everyone gasping as I move closer. "Don't... you ever dare... to insult her again." I hiss at her, eyeing her aggressively. "Calm down Liz." Eefje says from behind but I ignore her. Sabine looks at me and I see an undecided war in her eyes. Will she bow to me, or fight? But before she can even answer, I walk off. I hear the breathe of air everyone takes as two different footsteps come running my way, and soon Eefje and Erik are next to me. I smile at them as I walk to my room and open it. Eefje smiles and follows, as Erik is a little hesitant. "Do you remember what I told you last night?" he asks and I nod. "About you and Ezra, and I approve Erik." I say and he smiles. He follows me inside and I close the door. "Eefje, this is Erik, he is my gay friend and best support I've ever had the honor of playing with." I introduce Erik and she smiles. "Pleasure to finally really meet you Erik." She says, smiling widely. I look at her. "Can we tell him?" I ask and she nods. "We are dating." I say and he gasps, pulling me in a hug and shaking me a little. "I KNEW IT!" He screams and lets me go, just to pull Eefje in for a hug. "Well played, Eefje." He says and gives her a hug. I smile and look with a happy smile at my girlfriend and friend hugging and think to myself: 'What can go wrong?'
