Alex walked in to the sports hall after practice, the rest of the team had already left for home and the coach, Mickey was still outside tidying up.
Alex is an average looking young woman, 19 years old and just starting her career, hoping to go to university in a few years time after gaining experience in the area of work she wants to go in to. She is about 5ft 4", olive skin which tans very easily, brown shoulder length hair, wild hazel eyes that sometimes; depending on the light look more green some days and look more brown on others! She isn't exactly thin but not obese neither; just has a few curves. She's a bit of a "rock chick" and dresses in loose fitting jeans which reveal the top of her female boxers, usually black and little vest tops which again show her cleavage off.
Alex walked through to the changing rooms to get changed. The changing rooms still smelling of that typical damp smell of sweaty bodies after matches, she had told her Mickey to get some air fresheners to put in there, it was no place for women to sit and re-energise themselves half time or after games! As Alex slipped out of her top Mickey walked in behind her quietly.
"Alex?" Mickey said in her soft friendly voice, but still enough to startle Alex out of her day dream. Mickey was the coach of Alex's football team, she was only 25 herself but had qualified as a sport's teacher a couple of years back, and enjoyed coaching the women's football team in her spare time. Mickey is a little taller than Alex, around 5ft 7" with a more of an athletic body, not much of a chest and quite toned compared to Alex's curves! Mickey is also very tanned, with brown hair with copper- coloured highlights in, and a beautiful smile that make her soft blue eyes sparkle.
"Yeah?" Asks Alex a little embarrassed from jumping. Mickey notices Alex's embarrassment and smiles at her.
"Here, sit down a minute!" Mickey gestures to the bench and they both sit down. Alex a little curious as to what Mickey wants to ask her.
"Are you OK?" Mickey asks. Alex nods. "Are you sure?" Alex nods again. "It's just that... you haven't been yourself lately, not only on the field whilst you're kicking that ball but the other girls have mentioned how you're not as happy and smiley as you usually are." Mickey's eye contact strong and fixing Alex to her amazing blue eyes.
Alex blushes a little as she smiles sweetly. "No, honestly I'm fine!" Alex looks down at the floor. Mickey's hand gently touches Alex's arm.
"Listen Alex, I know there's something wrong or something bothering you. I can tell, you're not as happy as you are usually and you never speak to me like you did before, we used to be able to chat about anything!" Mickey lifts Alex's face back up by peering down and capturing her eye contact again, although this time Alex's eyes were watery, she bites her bottom lip nervously, desperate to hold back the tears. "Hey- come on!" Mickey squeezes Alex's arm encouragingly. "There's no need to cry! If you don't want to talk about whatever it is then it's OK, but I'd really like to help you Alex."
Alex sighs. "I erm..." She begins but the emotion becoming too strong for her and she starts to cry uncontrollably. Mickey grasps Alex and holds her tightly, Alex's body trembling in Mickey's arms, the tears fall freely down Alex's cheeks.
"Shhh... It's ok hun! Let it all out." Mickey comforts Alex. "Come on, it's ok" Alex wipes her tears away as she sits back up. "Come on, it's obvious there is something the matter, it might help if you do talk about it... you might feel a lot better?" Mickey smiles encouragingly.
Alex takes a deep breath. "I've got nowhere to go." She wipes away more tears "My parents have thrown me out of the house!"
