ADDISON:
It's been a week since all of the drama, it's the day of the Euros, I felt so bad the day after I had the lads come look for me that I brought them all a drink from Starbucks and took them to apologise, obviously they all told me to not be silly as they understood and was there for me no matter what. They've all worked so hard for this day and I'm so proud, they again left early and I'm meeting them there making sure I leave enough time to see them all.
It's 4:30 pm and kick off is at 7pm I'm in the taxi aiming to get there about 5:30, allowing a little extra time for traffic today. Decs top is getting a bit too small now, but I've worn it anyway. After a little break he'll be back in his West Ham top.
I'm heading to the changing rooms and I can feel the tension in the air mixed with excitement. I'm gonna miss all of these boys when international ends but it's only for a little while and they'll be back together again, as my usual pre match ritual I enter the changing rooms to be attacked by hugs, we be chatting for a little while until they're called up to line up for the match. I wish them all good luck and give mase and Dec an extra cuddle of luck. I head out to the family area to watch.
It's 2-2 in the 75th minute and all of a sudden my world stops still a player from the other team has just taken Dec out and Decs ended up flying across the pitch, bouncing as he lands. He's laying on the floor. I'm crying as he's not getting back up, all of the boys rush over to him and so do the medics, Mason looks straight over to me and I can see it's not good as the pain on his face for his best friend, it's confirmed when I see them carrying him off the pitch. I start panicking, my breathing is so fast I can feel tear emotion take over, all of a sudden I feel a pair of arms around me guiding me to the seat, I look up and it's Jordan's wife, Rebecca, I've met her a couple of times. "Hey you're okay. Addi just breathe with me." I finally calm down and realise the games nearly over. And Italy are currently winning but I can tell Mason is so distracted. I thank Rebecca and tell her I'm going to find Declan. I ask her to tell Mason where I've gone after the match.
I walk down the steps and a security guard tries to stop me from carrying on, "I'm Addison Mount, Declan Rice fiance" I say and he shakes his head refusing me entry then I hear Gareth Southgate shout through to let me in, I run through to the room he's in and he's talking slightly but in a lot of pain. "Hey you" I say rushing to his side. I can see he's been crying. "Hey what you doing here? How's the game going?" He asks and I really don't want to tell him we're losing but he'll hate it if I lie to him. "I came to see you obviously and unfortunately Italy are winning I think all the boys are worried about you more though" the medic comes in and tells us the ambulance and paramedics are here to take him to hospital, before he leaves Gareth Southgate comes in to tell Dec, good luck and he'll be in contact to check how he is. I ask Gareth to let Mason know to call me and I'll meet him at the hospital.

At the hospital, Dec has taken a turn for the worse and they think he needs an operation for internal bleeding, they say he'll be in hospital for a few weeks but as long as he makes a full recovery in that time he'll still be able to play football. The game ended 30 minutes ago and unfortunately they lost but I know they'll have to collect there runners up medals and do everything before calling. Declan is currently sedated as they prepare him for the op, I'm shitting myself with worry, I need my brother here.
20 minutes later my phone rings and it's a FaceTime from Mase. "Hey big bro, sorry about the result" I say as I can see he's been crying too, I think it's a mixture of upset of losing and worry for Declan. "Hey Ads, what's happening, how is Dec? We're all here asking" he says which then causes me to cry again but I stop so I can explain, I tell them all about the op and how he's sedated as they think he's bleeding internally. They're all shocked then the silence breaks "Ads we're coming to you, he's our friend and teammate, we're waiting with you, you're not doing this alone stay strong I love you" he says then hangs up.
There is a feel of relief that someone else is coming, I tell the nurse that the teams on their way and to let them in when they arrive. I place Decs hand on my bump alongside my own and start talking to our son, "little man, I need you to show daddy how to be strong. He needs to know your here and we love him" I finish talking to the bump and break down and cry, I lay my head onto the hospital bed holding Decs hand and sob. Soon I feel a pair of arms hold me and I know it's Mason "it's alright Sis I'm here, I've got you it's okay" I lift my head up and cry into Mason, not letting go of Declan's hand until the nurse comes in and says they're taking him down in 5 minutes, all of the team come in and wish him well and good luck, when his bed leaves the room, I break down again. We all sit in his room waiting for the updates, I've told the boys that they've just played a massive game and must hurt over losing the euros, they don't have to stay if they don't feel like it but they all said they don't want to be anywhere else until they know he's okay.
