Caitlin and Katie had been talking about how funny it would be to verse each other again since the last time at the World Cup, little did they know it would be happening sooner than they thought. As international break was coming  up  the draw for the games started to come out. Katie and Caitlin walked into the change rooms before training one morning and everyone stared at them, both girls looked at each other extremely uncomfortable, having no idea what they were all looking at them for, "what" Katie said in her thick Irish accent making the rest of the team laugh, leaving Katie and Caitlin even more confused, "guess you guys haven't seen it, than" Leah said laughing with the rest of the team, "seen what" both Katie and Caitlin yelled impatiently, "The draws out for international break, you to are up against each other" Beth said laughing at the 2 girls reactions, Katie and Caitlin both turned to look at each other, in shock, "Hows it going to feel to lose cait" Katie said nudging Caitlin in the arm laughing with the team now, "just you wait chick" Caitlin said nudging Katie back.

It had now been 2 weeks and Caitlin had left for camp after an emotional goodbye with Katie, although not nearly as sad as normal, seeing they would be seeing each other again in just a few days. When Caitlin arrived in Dublin for her camp, she met up with Macca and Alannah, "so cait, you excited to go up against Katie" Macca asked laughing, although Caitlin didn't laugh instead she put her head down and sighed, "yeh" Alannah and Mackenzie just looked at each other, "what's up cait" Alannah asked, "it's just, ruesha will be playing and I don't know, I guess I haven't really seen her since the world cup and I was kinda hoping I wouldn't have to for a long time", Caitlin said playing with the rings on her fingers. "Caitlin I can guarantee ruesha won't get anywhere near you, no one on our team would ever let that happen, neither would Katie. We've got you" Macca said rubbing Caitlin's back. "Thanks guys" Caitlin said feeling much better.

The next day as both Katie and Caitlin got ready for there match they both sent each other a good luck message, "good luck babe, see you out there" Caitlin wrote, "You too, although you'll need it more than me 😉" Katie wrote making Caitlin laugh. As both teams lined up in the tunnel, ready for the match to begin Caitlin couldn't help but get butterflies watching Katie captain her team, it instantly gave her deja vu from the World Cup, Caitlin was still watching Katie when she felt eyes dagger into the back of her head, she turned around to see Ruesha little John sending her deaths stares, Caitlin quickly turned her head around again, Alannah who saw it spoke, "Don't let her get in your head, we've got you cait" Caitlin didn't reply just nodded. As the teams were shaking hands Caitlin and Katie made eye contact both girls smiling at the instant sparks in the two's hands, although they were instantly put out by a sharp pain in Caitlin's hand, Caitlin looked down to see ruesha squeezing Caitlin's hand as hard as she could and digging her fingernails in to Caitlin's wrist, Caitlin didn't look up, just waited for ruesha to walk away before looking at the nail marks on her wrist.

As the game commenced it was pretty even on both sides, Irish coming out strong, Caitlin loved how Katie played with so much passion, though no one else on her team seemed to enjoy it. At halftime when most of her team were talking about how rough and dirty Katie was she felt her anger rise, "Stop blaming the fact that Katie is running circles around on how rough she is, maybe if we would just play like a team instead of worrying about how they are playing we could actually get a goal" Caitlin yelled shutting up the room real quick, "I mean seriously Caitlin, I don't know how you could be on the same team as her, let alone dating her, she has no heart at all, I swear she is trying to hurt us all on purpose", Haley raso replied making the team laugh, all except Caitlin, Macca, Alannah, kyra and Steph who all knew Katie personally. "How could you even bring that up right now" Caitlin yelled even more mad now that her girlfriend was just called heartless, Haley just scoffed and walked away, caitlin sat down in her cubby as tears threatened to fall from her eyes. Macca and Alannah tried to comfort her, so did Steph and kyra but Caitlin didn't want them she just wanted her girl. As the teams walked out for the second half, Katie noticed Caitlin's teary eyes and gave her a worried look, Caitlin brushed it off. As the game was about to start again Caitlin noticed ruesha had swapped to her side, when the game continued Caitlin immediately started to get bashed around by her. Katie could see it and immediately felt a rush of anger. But she knew telling ruesha to stop would only make things worse. As Caitlin was running with the ball towards the goal after making a break, she passed two defenders making it just her and the goalkeeper, that was until someone came from behind her clipping her heels and pushing her hard in the back, causing Caitlin to go flying head first, Caitlin ducked her head to brace her fall making her land right on her shoulder, she felt her should pop before pain went all the way threw her spine. As she turned her head to see who did it it, she wasn't surprised when she saw ruesha looking down at her smirking, she than screamed turning her head to face the ground to hide her tears. Katie saw the whole thing and before she could even think to get mad at ruesha, she heard Caitlin's scream and instantly sprinted to Caitlin's side not thinking about anything else, Katie getting there first bent down in front of Caitlin's head to hide her face from the camera and grabbed Caitlin's hand, "Your okay cait, I've got you, just breath" Katie spoke as Caitlin's team called for the medics, Alannah and Macca were now by Caitlins side aswell, although Caitlin didn't take her eyes off of Katie who was still holding her hand tight. Caitlin was still crying as the medics sat her up examining her shoulder, they gave Caitlin the green whistle to help reduce the pain before putting her on the stretcher, "I'll be with you in 10 mins cait, I love you" Katie said to Caitlin as she kissed her hand, Mackenzie and Alannah just watched Katie before walking back to the team huddle, "Guess she isn't so heartless after all is she" Mackenzie said to Haley who just looked away. When the game finally came to an end Katie walked straight up to ruesha, "Are you insane, how are you so fucked in the head you have to ruin someone else's life, if you ever fucking touch her again I swear to god ruesha I will make your life hell" ruesha didn't say anything just smiled and walked away, the whole Australian team who were walking over to shake Katie's hands heard it, Macca and Alannah once again looking directly at haley. Katie shook hands with everyone before running straight to the medical room, "cait, how are you" Katie asked gasping for air after sprinting all the way there. "There's my pretty girlfriend I was talking to you guys about" Caitlin spoke talking to the medics who just laughed, "she's on a lot of medication, we managed to pop her shoulder back in although it will still be quite awhile before it's back to normal" Katie smiled and thanked the medics as they walked out, than she sat next to Caitlin and held her hand tight, "you scared me chick, never scream like that again" Katie said, "okay, okay those are just for the bedroom" Caitlin said right when, Caitlin's teammates were walking in, leaving everyone including Katie shocked. "We were just coming to see how our number 9 was, think we might come back" Alannah joked. "She's on so much medication" Katie said as she laughed, Katie than walked out giving Caitlin time with her teammates. As Katie sat outside the room, someone else walked out, "Hey" Haley said making Katie look up, "oh hey, Haley isn't it" Haley just nodded than sat down, "You were really sweet out there, looking after cait, and after the game standing up for her" Katie just looked down again, "I mean it was my fault" Katie said playing playing with the laces on her shoes, "how was it your fault, ruesha made her own choices, that has nothing to do with you" Haley said making Katie look up, "Yeh I guess, thanks Haley", Haley just smiled before standing up and holding out her hand for Katie to take, "Caits in there naming her 5 favourite moves of yours" Haley said laughing as Katie went bright red, before running in and changing the subject making the whole Australian team laugh. Caitlin's medication had finally worn off, as she woke up from a nap, Katie still in her playing gear beside her bed holding her hand, the rest of her team obviously gone to have showers, "Hey you" Katie said as she noticed Caitlin wake up, "Hey" Caitlin replied, "I'm really glad your okay, you scared me you know" Caitlin smiled as Katie kissed her lips. "I'm sorry ruesha did that to you, I should've got involved earlier", Katie said looking down, "don't be silly Katie, we both know that only would've made things worse, thankyou for being by my side" Caitlin said looking up to Katie who just kissed her forehead. Soon after Caitlin's teammates had come back to check on her, they walked in to see Caitlin who was now awake, not so much Katie, she was sound asleep in the chair beside her, still holding on to Caitlin's hand, "Hey" Caitlin said to all the girls as they walked in, "You bored her to sleep cait" Macca joked before Kyra went and sat on Katie's lap waking her up, Katie left Caitlin to shower and get changed, while she was with the aussies, as all the girls started leaving it was now just Haley, Macca, Lani and cait, "Look cait, I'm sorry for what I said, I had no idea what Katie was like off the field and after seeing her today, she is the furthest thing for heartless, she cares so much about you and I'm sorry for not seeing it sonner" Haley said rubbing Caitlin on the back, "You couldn't of known, Katie likes to pretend she tough, I'm sure if I told her what you said she would take it as a compliment, it was just heated in the moment, I'm sorry too" Caitlin finished as both girls hugged. Haley left soon after, Macca and Alannah waited until Katie came back before also saying there goodbyes, as Caitlin wasn't going to be staying in camp with her injury. Instead she would be staying with Katie at her family's house.

When they arrived Katie's family were all worried about Caitlin, that was until they watched how Katie took care of her, making sure she didn't have pain, that she was comfortable, not leaving her side once. As they all watched on they couldn't help but think how perfect these 2 were for each other.
