Chapter 11: Injury After Injury

Scarlet's Point of View:

James was being taken to the teams doctors, and everyone was forced to leave the room.

"Oh my gosh, what was he doing! I swear this Colombian will be the death of me." I said annoyed to Iker.

"Scarlet it will be okay, if anything he will have just passed out, from dehydration or something." Casillas shrugged.

"Something? Something! He could have died!"

"I'm pretty sure it's nearly impossible to die from a ball hitting your head." Iker laughed.

"Tell that to Abraham Lincoln." I argued.

Everyone in the waiting room burst out laughing. "Honey, he was shot with a gun," Illarramendi laughed. "not hit in the head with a ball." he finished.

"Oh," I blushed. "well then-"

"Just stop trying." Pepe held one hand on his stomach, still laughing, and the other pointing at me.

"You can come in now." Dr. Garcia announced.

We all stood to our feet at tried to scramble into James' room. "Woah, woah, woah." Dr. Garcia paused, taking a breath, "Are you kindergartens? Get in a line, ladies first."

"Haha, suckers. Adios!" I ran up to the front of the line, and into the room. To find James laying on a table.

"Oh my Pirlo! What happened to you?" I tried to act as if he was hurt badly.

"Where's Pirlo? Does my hair look good? I've always wanted to get a picture with him." James ran his fingers through his hair.

I laughed, "No Pirlo's not here, I wish he was though, and your hair looks perfect." I smiled, even though it was a mess, but it looked adorable.

He sighed in relief, "Thank goodness, I don't want to look like trash right now."

"Please, you always look like a garbage can." Isco entered the room.

"Hey! It's garbage can, not garbage can't." James joked. Most of the team was in the room by now.

"Okay James, we found out you've gotten a concussion, and won't be able to play against Atletico. In so sorry." Dr.Garcia said in a monotone voice, while looking at his papers. After a few seconds he left the room.

Everyone in was shocked, nobody thought it would actually cause him to be out of the games in just a few days. Now Real was going to have to survive with another injured midfielder. We all chatted for a little bit longer, before Cris decided to take James home, and not just leave him in the stadium.

James Rodriguez's Point of View:

This was officially the worst day ever. First, I find out Cristiano and Scarlet are dating, then I find out I'm injured, and can't even assist her first goal with the club. "Hey Cris, how long have you and Scarlet been dating?"

Cristiano burst out laughing to the point his eyes were watering, "Oh my-" he continued laughing, "You think we're dating?"

"You mean you guys aren't?" I silently cheered.

He got over his fit, and was now normal again, "No, we aren't dating, we have just been great friends for so many years, and we act like we're dating sometimes, and we don't notice it. I can promise you she's all yours."

"All mine? What?" I was definitely confused, I hadn't told anyone that I might, just maybe, have some small feelings for Scarlet.

"James, I'm practically known as the mastermind of love. I can see it happen before the people even know each other's names. Plus, the way you look at her like she's the only person you see in the room kind of gives it away, not too much, but just enough for me to see." Cris smirked. "So tell me James, do you have feelings for Scarlet?"

"Yes." I mumbled feeling slightly embarrassed as I have only known her for a week, and only knew the basic facts about her.

"Alright." He smiled, "Tonight I will teach you the way of love." Cristiano said pulling up to his house, where I'm just guessing I will be spending the night.

"And that's how you'll win Scarlet's heart." Cris finished.

"I don't want to win her heart, Cris. I want to capture it, and have her capture mine in the process."

"By how poetic that sounded, I'm just going to assume that she already has you wrapped around her finger.." Cristiano smiled. "But trust me, if you break her heart I will break all the bones in your body. Do not dare to even think about cheating on her, because then I will make your death slow, and painful. If you do end up happily ever after you have to promise to let me be the best man, okay? Don't let Sergio try and sweet talk you into letting him be it. I already called dibs."

To be honest, I was scared. "I promise to do everything you said to do."

Cristiano got up, "That's my boy, now go to bed, maybe if you're lucky enough coach will let you play."

He shut the lights off, and left to go to his room. That night, I fell asleep thinking about Scarlet.
