Daughter of two Arsenal legends.

Part 12

Jacksons POV:
The next few days are a bit rocky. Isla and I are perfectly fine, still having a rough time coming to terms with losing our baby but we are good.
Noah and I on the other hand are not okay. I thought he would be okay with me after Isla and I sorted our shit out but he doesn't seem to have forgiven me yet.
I'm a defender, he's a striker, almost every training session we are up against eachother. He is going in on me on tackles and making training a living nightmare.
Today we are 1v1.
He tackles me a few times, I tackle him a few times as as well.
He runs at me whilst I have the ball and his foot connects with my knee. It all happens so quickly.
I hear my knee snap.
I scream.
I have a high pain tolerance but this fucking kills.
I keep screaming.
I cry.
People rush over.
Medics are asking me questions, but I can't answer them.
The lads are all surrounding me until someone tells them to give me space.
I get stretchered off the training pitch. I look at Noah who is in tears. I'm in tears. I've never felt so much pain in my life.

The medics are doing tests until they say I need to go to hospital. Fuck sake. I call Isla who is still at home.
Isla: "hey babe, thought you had training?"
I'm still crying.
Jackson: "ca-can you erm co-come to the train-training ground?"
Isla: "Jackson. What's happened? are you okay?"
Jackson: "I'm having to go to hospital but i ne-need you."
Isla: "I'll be there in 5."
Jackson: "ok-okay."
Isla: "I love you."
Jackson: "I love you more."

The call ends, and Isla turns up 5 minute later. She rushes into the medical room and sees my leg before looking at me.
She rushes to my side and holds my hand.
Isla: "baby what happened?"
Jackson: "I don't know, we were doing 1v1s and it was a high tackle."
Isla: "who?"
I don't say I just look at her. She knows who.
Isla: "Noah?"
Again I don't say anything.
Isla: "answer me."
Jackson: "yeah."
Isla: "I'm going to kill him."
Jackson: "no babe just leave it."
Isla: "I will for now because you need me"
Jackson: "thank you."

I get transported to hospital in an ambulance, Isla holding my hand the whole way.

After every scan and test possible I get the results. Broken leg in 2 places, and snapped ligaments in my knee. I'm out of the euros, out of the World Cup qualifiers, out of a transfer to Man City. I'm done. Isla hasn't left my side, she cries with me when the results come in.
Isla: "hey it'll be okay. You'll get through it all."
Jackson: "what if I don't? I'm out for months Isla."
Isla: "we will get through it, together."
I don't say anything. She looks around and notices her mums and my parents are here.
Isla: "I'll be back okay?"
I just nod. She kisses my head and walks out of the room.

Isla's POV:
Linda: "how is he?"
Isla: "he needs his mum."
She just nods and her and Darren go into his room.
Leah: "sweetheart."
I hug my mums.
Y/n: "he will be okay."
Leah: "what happened?"
Isla: "Noah."
Leah: "what?"
Isla: "all I know it was Noah that tackled him."
Y/n: "I'm sure he didn't mean to."
Isla: "he meant to."
Leah: "Isla."
Isla: "no, don't."
Leah: "okay, we won't."
They hug me whilst I cry a little bit. It hurts to see him in so much pain.

An hour or so later Jackson is asleep. Mine and his parents have gone so I'm sat outside his room. I don't want him to wake up and see me crying. I hear footsteps down the corridor. I look up and see Noah.
Noah: "Isla."
Isla: "no don't you fucking dare."
Noah: "just tell me how he is."
Isla: "heartbroken Noah! His leg is broken in 2 places and he has snapped ligaments in his knee!"
Noah: "I didn't mean to hurt him."
Isla: "you fucking did! You have been horrible to him these past couple of days. And now this!"
Noah: "sis please just-"
Isla: "NO! I'm sick of you. I don't want to see you again!"
Noah: "Isla."
Isla: "he's out for months Noah! Months! He can't move to Man City, he's out of the euros and World Cup qualifiers! You've messed it all up!"
He doesn't say anything.
Isla: "nothing to say? You have hated him the past couple of days. The darkest days of our life, he needed his best friend. But you ignored him, then you snap his leg."
Noah: "please just let me apologise. I feel terrible."
Isla: "too late, I don't want to see you here again."
He nods and walks away. A few of this other teammates are around. Jason, Owen and Lucas are all here.
Lucas: "how is he?"
Lucas engulfs me in a massive hug before I respond.
Isla: "out for months."
They all nod and look into his room. He's waking up a little bit.
Isla: "he has surgery in the morning."
Jason and Owen go in, Lucas keeps hugging me.
Lucas: "has Noah been?"
Isla: "you just missed him."
Lucas: "as much as I don't want to say this, forgive him."
Isla: "why should I? Jackson was supposed to me moving to Manchester. Now he can't."
Lucas: "fair enough he was a dickhead, but he didn't mean to hurt him. He's not like that."
Isla: "I know he's not, but he should have forgiven him when I did, and now this has happened."
Lucas: "I know Isla, I know."
He lets go and kisses my head.
Lucas: "he will get through this, he's got you and us."
I just nod and we both go to his room.
Jackson is laughing at something Owen said. I just stand at the door and let them all have their moment.
Lucas hugs him. They talk abit before we all have to go home. Visiting hours are over.
Jackson: "will you be here in the morning?"
Isla: "yeah babe I will"
Jackson: "okay, I love you."
Isla: "I love you too."
I kiss him gently before leaving his room.
Lucas: "come on, I'll take you home."
Isla: "thanks."
