Three weeks later
Beth sits up with a frown as she watches her girlfriend drop down on the pitch after the Duchies lost the quarter-finals against France noticing the way she is breathing fast but unsteady and turns to Leah and Lotte. ''Girls...''
''Calling.'' Lotte breathes out as she hears the worry in her voice, Beth thanks her softly as she jogs out of the room and turns back to the TV.
''I don't understand why they don't move the fucking camera away!'' Sarina growls out in semi Dutch as they all still watch Viv on the big screen, clearly struggling to catch her breath.
''She will be fine Beffy.'' Leah murmurs reassuringly as she pulls Beth in her arms, she smiles as Lessi drops down on Beth's other side the both of them sandwiching Beth in a hug and glances at the TV sighing in relief as the camera moves away the second Sherida and Daphne helped Viv get up.
They all smile sadly as Viv shakes her head tears streaming down her cheeks as a BBC interviewer asks for a comment, hearing soft chuckles all around them as Sherida friendly tells them to leave their captain the fuck alone and sigh softly as the live match switches to the studio.
''Am I allowed to kick her ass for playing with a migraine?'' Sarina asks randomly.
''If you reach her before me.'' Leah and Beth reply in unison, Beth chuckles as Leah turns to her in amusement and sighs.
''I don't understand why Dries let her play full ninety, he could have subbed her for Beerensteyn.''
''They were all focused on winning from France.'' Sarina sighs out. ''Viv has mean runs but she wasn't fit, with Lieke also missing out on this match he would have missed out on both all-rounders if he had subbed her.''
''So he took the most tactical and not the human decision.'' Leah breathes out with a sigh.
''We all know Vivianne though.'' Beth breathes out. ''Pretty sure she had a say in this too and she did write me that she felt fit enough for full ninety.'' She slowly shakes her head and sighs. ''Which turned into 120.''
''She allows you to call her Vivianne?'' Sarina asks in amusement.
''No, but it's not like I will change it.'' Beth breaths out chuckling. ''It's either Vivianne or Vivi for me.''
''Why not Viv?'' Hemp asks chuckling.
''I hate using names others use.'' Beth breathes out shrugging. ''That is why Le is Le or Leah Catherine, Lot is Lot and Lessi is Lessi.''
''She doesn't mind if we steal it though.'' Leah adds chuckling.
Beth hums in agreement, looking up as the door opens, and sits up as Lotte walks in. ''And?''
''Lieke immediately ran down right after the whistle.'' Lotte breathes out. ''She met Viv in the dugouts and the girl is beat, she can barely stand and is completely down due to the loss and the migraine.'' She adds with a soft sigh. ''They are bringing her to the hotel now and she will call as soon as they convinced her to go to bed.''
Beth just shakes her head with a soft sigh as Sarina jumps up the second her phone rings and slides down the couch as the coach walks out replying to the phone in quick Dutch. ''I know I can't hate Dries for this, but I still do a bit.''
''Typical reaction after watching your girl struggle through 120 minutes Beffy.'' Lessi breathes out as she pats her shoulder with a sigh. ''I am sure Viv will text you soon.''
''You really love her, don't you?'' Mary asks with a slight grin. ''We have never seen you like this Beffy.''
''I do.'' Beth breathes out.
