It has been two years since the loss to Lyon in the Champions League final and you wanted your revenge. When you watched the semi final match between the two French teams you were hoping that the 7 time champions would win and when they did it meant that you had the opportunity to rewrite history. As soon as the final whistle blows you send your girlfriend a text that simply read See you in Turin.
You met Ellie when she debuted with the Australian senior team in 2016 and although you would never admit it, especially to her, you fell for her that first day. It only took a few weeks for you to ask her out on a date and on your second date you asked her to be your girlfriend. It may have been too soon but you didn't care, things with Ellie felt right and you didn't want to spend one more day without being able to call her yours.
It had been 39 days since you said you goodbyes in Australia after a few international friendlies but with your busy schedules it felt much longer. In the tunnel you are the last person in the Barcelona line up , your eyes finding the number 12 straight away. You much prefer to look her in the eyes but the view from the behind satisfies you almost as much.
For the first time in your career you are being marked by your girlfriend, something you knew would happen but it did make your job a lot harder. When Lyon score in the 6th minute you are furious. The next big play happens in the 14th minute, you are running down the left hand side, Ellie is by your side trying to get the ball off you but you wouldn't give up without a fight. The two of you are shoulder to shoulder, fighting for control when you come out victorious. You send a ball into the box and Jenni gets her head onto it, sending the ball in the back of the net. The game is tied.
You celebrate with your team and make your way back to your own half ready for the game to reset. It is when you get back to your position that you realise something is wrong, Ellie is still down after your battle. Any other player and you would be questioning the seriousness of their injury, wondering whether or not this is part of their strategy but not with Ellie, she never stays down unless it is serious.
You watch from a distance knowing that you cannot go to her without raising questions, she is too far away and she has a few of her team mates around her but this does nothing to lessen your concern.
As you watch her stand to her feet you let out a breath you didn't know you were holding in.
A few minutes later, Wendie sends the ball out wide for Ellie, knowing that you are faster you make to run aiming to intercept the ball. Ellie tries to make her run too but she doesn't get the opportunity, you watch as her knee completely gives way, your girlfriend falling to floor in result.
The ball in still in play but you don't care. You run as fast as you can to be by Ellie's side.
"Els" you say as you crouch down in front of her.
"Y/N" she replies.
Looking into her eyes you get all the information you need. This is bad, really bad.
"Wendie" you shout getting the defender's attention "Get your medic!"
You know that cameras are on you and whilst your relationship wasn't a secret, the two of your never officially confirmed it, meaning that the majority of the world and even some your team mates didn't know that you were dating. Keeping this in mind you think carefully with how you act with Ellie.
When the medic comes you are hesitant to leave her but you aren't given a choice as the Lyon staff push you out of their way so that they can work on their player.
"No, don't leave" Ellie begs.
"Don't worry, I'll stay close" you say as you stand by some of her team mates watching the medics access her injury.
