'Oh god,' i cry out while grabbing my right knee.
We were playing a friendly against the usa when everything went horibaly wrong,
As an midfielder i had been dueling with lindsey horason a lot, due to her being so physicly in her attacks i went down to the ground almost every time.
'Fuck, im so sorry,' lindsy mutters after a particuly harsh tackle which made me hold my knee which felt like it was burning from the inside,
I look at vera pauw, our headcoach, signaling that i had to be replaced,
Tears streaming down my face as i get lifted on the brancard, only slightly noticing my bestfriend, katie mcabe, looking like she was out for blood.
It also was not a suprise that she joined me in the medic room, having been sent off with a red after a almost illigal tackle on the same woman who had tackled me.
'Darling,' she whispers while pulling me in a hug.
due to her red face and the way she was clenching her jaw, she probably already had gotten cursed and yelled at by the coach,
'You were stupid,' i started scolding her, but she just shakes her head.
'If she could do that to you, why should i not do it to her?' I was about to protest and tell her it wasnt profesional when she cuts me off.
'I would do anything to protect you, you know that right?' I feel myself tear up as i realised that she would keep her promise.
She would stay by me, even when the doctors told me i had gotten an acl injury, she was there to support me throught the beginning when it was the roughest,
Even when she had gotten injured herself not even a month later, but she could pull the mcabe card, which ment she could start training with the others in not even a week.
She needed to focus on training and on her healing proces, she didnt need me to hold her back, i think while turning off my phone after recieving the fifteend call from her.
Was i missing her, yes quite a lot, but it was better to deal with it alone, she had her own problems, she didnt need my pain on her plate too.
I could handel it myself, i think before stumbeling out of the room i had in the camp so that i could heal there.
'Dont take too much on your plate y/l/n,' one of the rehability trainers says as i walk towards the threadmill.
I just smile at him, knowing that i would be trying to push my limits today, ignoring the slight ache that was already building up.
I slightly hiss as i start running, my leg not used to this much pressure and movement.
But i ignore it, running faster and faster while sinking deeper in thoae thoughts.
I blink as i see black spots clouding my vision,
'Y/n/n,' i hear a familiar irish accent scream before i feel my head colliding with something on my way down to the ground.
I feel at my hear, blood, i think as i see the crimson red substance on my fingers, seeing katie's face above me before everything goes dark.
Katie's pov.
I watch as y/n looks at her fingers, which were covered in blood.
'Darling no,' i scream before lifting her up in the air,
'Help, she needs help, please,' i yell loudly at the medics running towards us, the blood now falling from her hairline,
'Get her on the tabel, we will inspect her head,' one off the medics says.
I do what he just ordered me to do, the gloved hands off the medic imeadiatly touching and feeling her head.
'She will be fine, she just needs some rest,' the medic says after having her put in one off the beds where they can keep an eye on her.
'And katie,' he says, eyes showing concern and worry.
'I know that you are concerned about her, but go easy on her, okay?' I sigh before nodding.
'Fine, i will go a little bit easier on her,' he chuckles before walking out, seeing that y/n had started to wake up.
'Katie?' She groans, shutting her eyes due to the bright light off the sun filling the room.
'Why?' I ask, trying not to cry, she avoids my eyes not looking me in the eyes.
'Why have you been ignoring me? Why have you been pushing yourself so much lately?' A tear slips out off her eye.
'Because i felt you would work better without me, i am only a distraction, you had enough on your plate already, ' i shake my head, knowwing i had somehow caused her to feel like this.
'Katie, it isnt your fault,' she says after seeing the look on my face.
'But if i knew how you had felt for these past few days, i could have helped you,' i mutter, the tears now streaming down my face.
'No katie, because i chose not to tell you,'
'Why y/n/n? I love you so fucking much, these past few weeks have been hell without you, i care so much for you, and i wasnt there, i didnt notice how you were doing, i should have done more, i am sorry, but i cant stand to see you in so much pain,' i cry out
Y/n's pov.
The words, 'i love you,' kept echoing through my head as katie continued to apolegize to me.
'Are you going to say something?' Katie says, looking nervous all of a sudden.
'You love me?' Her face turns pale,
'I am sorry if you dont feel the same way, we could just pretend like i never said it,' i cut her off by placing my lips against hers.
Pulling away from her once we both had runned out off breath.
'I love you too and i am also sorry, i should not have ignored you, i should have come to you as soon as i felt like this,' i whisper, just holding me.
'Y/n/n?' She mutters after having me pulled in what seemed to be the thirteend kiss off the night,
'Please dont leave or ignore me again,' she whispers before kissing me again while pulling me almost impossibel close.
'I wont and i told you i was sorry,' i pout,
'Great, now let me take care off you for like forever alright,' i nuzzel my face into the skin off her neck.
'You know what, take me on a date first and see if you would want to stick with me forever,' i wink beforepulling the covers over us.
'Night katie love you,'
'Love you too,'
