Migraines

As long as you could remember you've always gotten bad migraines that make you feel super sick and today you woke up with a migraine took medicine as soon as you woke up but still not helping as much as you would have liked

You groan looking at the time on your phone you need to get heading to your team practice

You shoot Steph a text asking her to pick you up not being able to drive with how bad your head was right now struggling to look at the lights in your room deciding to put on some sunglasses

A little bit later Steph pulls up to your apartment

When you walk out you see Steph take in the shape of you

"Oh y/n/n this must be a really bad migraine if you brought out your sunglasses already this early in the day" Steph says moving her bag out of your seat as you sit down in the passenger seat

"Yeah definitely a bad migraine but we have practice so let's go steffy" you say

Steph looks at you sympathetically as she drives to practice

You hated how much your migraines affected you but they really could ruin your whole day just because you couldn't do much when in so much pain

When you and Steph walk in Kim sees the state of you walking over softly

"You could have called out darling" Kim says gently

"I know but I called out two weeks ago and we have the conti cup coming up so these practices are very important" you say tired

Kim smiles softly

"Oh honey you are such a team player" Kim says walking off

Alessia and Kyra see you come in and sandwich you in a hug

"You look like one of the blind mice from shrek" Kyra says

You laugh

"Kyra you say the oddest things" alessia says into the hug

You all break apart laughing softly

Kyra is poking at your face and alessia swats her hand away from your face

"What is wrong with you Kyra you know she has a headache you pest" Steph says from behind you pulling you away from Kyra who keeps messing around with you

"She knows I love her" Kyra says leaning towards you avoiding Steph and alessias hands as she gives you a kiss on the cheek

"I love you to Kyra" you say laughing softly

Leah sits down next to you

She rubs your knee gently

"Hey sweet heart how long has this migraine lasted" Leah asks softly not wanting to be loud

"I woke up with it Leah so not to long don't worry" you say

Leah rubs your back softly

"Okay but tell me if it gets to much" Leah says before getting up to walk to the pitch

Practice drained you but didn't cause to much extra pain besides running caused your heads pounding  to get even worse which made you sit down just a few times for extra water breaks

None of the coaching staff questioned you because they knew how bad your migraines could get at times

After a short break you would be right back at it practicing and running drills with the team

After practice you were truly drained and the team could tell

Viv handed you her water and some more headache medicine

"Thanks vivy" you say accepting the medicine from her

"How bad is this one out of ten" Beth asks watching you take the medicine

"Probably an eight not the worst I've had" you mumble

" well an eight definitely isn't good" Lia says joining the conversation

"I know but don't worry practice is over so I'm gonna go home and take a nap in complete darkness" you say smiling

Caitlin ruffles your hair laughing at the sheepish look you have on your face

And you did just that Steph dropped you off back at your apartment and you grabbed a cold glass of water and laid in complete darkness in your bed feeling the migraine going away slowly but surely
