It could be much worse. (Alanna Kennedy)

Warning: Mentions of injury.

_____________

The moment you went down on the ground, you felt your heart stop for a second. You weren't sure what had happened, all you remember was you were running to kick the ball into the net but you felt someone shove you from the back. While you fell to the ground, you felt someone else fall on top of you. The last thing you needed. 

The way you fell made you land on your ankle, it was painful and you knew something wasn't right. You were on the ground, laying on your side as you held your ankle. You were still in shock you weren't sure of what to do. You felt someone's hand on the side of your body, they flipped you over. You saw a player's face, you didn't recognize them. 

You noticed their jersey wasn't the same as yours, it was one of the opposing team. Your head turned as you saw her teammate walk up to you. 

"You alright?" she asked you. 

You stared at her unsure of what to say, you weren't okay at all. But you were still in shock.

"Okay, come on get up, we can't waste anymore time..." she said grabbing onto your arm. She tried yanking you up but you took your arm back and held your ankle. 

"Hey!" you heard a familiar voice from behind you. You turned your head and saw alanna coming towards you. You had been surrounded by two of the opposing team players, you felt a rush of relief as soon as you saw her coming over towards you. "Don't touch her..." alanna said looking down at you. 

"I was just trying to-" the girl tried to explain herself. 

"I don't care, she's fucking hurt- you're not allowed to touch her if she's clearly not okay to walk." alanna defended you. She looked down at you and kneeled down to take a closer look. "Are you okay? Do you want me to call the medics?" alanna asked you, her voice much softer than how she was talking to the other girl a few seconds ago. 

You nodded and kept holding your ankle. 

Alanna stood up and waved the medics down, the referee made her way over to you. 

"We've got it from here." alanna snapped at the players. One of them scoffed and they both ended up walking away.

They ended up making you get out of the game, someone else subbed on for you. The medic told you to would be better to get off than to make it worse. You had been sitting down on the bench watching your team play with a pack of ice on your ankle. Luckily, your team won, that brought some satisfaction to you. 

"How's it feeling?" alanna walked over to you as soon as the whistle blew. You looked at her and shrugged.

"Somewhat not as bad as before..." you said. 

"I hated the way you went down..." alanna said sitting next to you. "Did they say what it was?" alanna asked. "They're not sure...they said it might be a sprain...doesn't matter i'm gonna be out for a few weeks." you scoffed and drank some water out of your bottle. 

"Hey, you're gonna be okay...it could be much worse.." alanna rubbed your knee.

"Thank you..." you nodded and looked at her. "For saying that and for having my back out there..." you smiled.

"Of course...she had no right to grab you like that." alanna shook her head. "Now come on, do you need help walking in?" alanna offered as she stood her arm out. You smiled and stood up carefully, she helped you inside.
