My Captain

Part 33

That was when I was woken up by Leah who was shaking my body gently. Juul are you okay, you were really restless, and you were sweating like an otter. Actually I'm not okay, I had a nightmare, I said while shivering and a few tears also slipped out. Awh love come on over here, she said while spreading her arms to embrace me. I scooted into her arms, and this time I was the one laying my head on her chest. Baby do you maybe want to tell me about that nightmare you had? It was set at the final game of the euros, my team was facing yours. When you were setting up an attack, you were tackled very badly by one of my teammates. I of course immediately ran towards you, begging you to stay with me. But you slipped away and fainted in my arms. I watched you getting carried off the pitch in a stretcher, I was then being held back by Jill, Viv and Jackie, so I couldn't run after you. I yelled at the top of my lungs, but no sound was coming out, I said to Leah, while almost having a breakdown. Hey baby, please calm down. I know it is difficult, but just try to focus on my heartbeat and breathing, so I calmed down a bit. I'm here and I'm not going away and I've not planned to leave you anytime soon, Leah said while tilting my head a bit to the side so she could gently peck my lips.

Later I slowly drifted asleep in Leah's arms, that made me feel safe and sound. The rest of the night I slept like a log, then in the morning Leah needed to head to training. I accompanied her as Beth and Viv would take Lucky and Chase with them. Lee was awake before me, and had already prepared some breakfast for the both of us. We then headed to the Arsenal training grounds. While the other girls were training, I was in the gym doing some arm exercises with my non-cast hand, because I need to stay as fit and strong as I can if I want to be ready for the euros. Lucky and Chase were also in the gym just messing around with each other and just playing. After the training was done Leah, Chase, Lucky and I headed home.
