Play Through It

As Katie laid comfortably on Caitlin's chest ,  just enjoying one another's company on the lounge , caitlin moved slightly, causing Katie's body to readjust to the couch, Caitlin thought nothing of it until she heard Katie wince, she turned her head and saw Katie in obvious pain with her eyes squeezed shut, Caitlin looked at her for a moment, confused as to what was causing the amount of pain she was in, "You okay Kates, what's wrong" Caitlin said as she sat up to get a better look at her girlfriend, Katie stayed in the same position, taking deep breaths, before looking up and placing a forced smile on her face, "Nothing im fine" she replied brushing Caitlin off as she again tried to change her positioning on the couch, Caitlin just looked at her, "Your clearly not fine baby, what's going on" Caitlin asked again leaning closer into Katie causing her to once again wince, "Just a sore back, I'm fine" Katie replied, again brushing Caitlin off. Katie hated being injured, she hated feeling weak and dependent on other people, Caitlin knew this, "It doesn't look fine, when did it start" Caitlin asked softly as she grabbed Katie's hand to make her look at her, "Couple days ago, it's just tight, it'll pass" Katie replied as she stood up slowly holding her back before she placed a kiss on Caitlin's forehead and walked to the kitchen, "What do you feel like for dinner" she then yelled out to Caitlin who stood up and walked over, "I'm cooking dinner, go sit down and I'll get some pain killers and a heat pack" Caitlin said sternly as she looked Katie in the eye, Katie rolled her eyes, "Cait it's fine, I promise" Katie replied already hating the fact Caitlin knows about it, "Okay, but it won't hurt to rest for a night baby, I want to cook, you go sit down" Caitlin said knowing Katie wasn't going to give in, "Fine" Katie mumbled as she sat back on the couch and put the tv on, Caitlin cooked dinner before walking it over to Katie. "Thank you cait" Katie said as she sat up to eat it, Caitlin smiled before eating herself.

Both girls went to bed early that night as they had a early training session the next morning. While Caitlin lied in bed, trying to sleep, she was interrupted by Katie constantly moving, Caitlin let it be for a while, assuming Katie was just getting comfortable, but after over 5 minutes of constant tossing and turning Caitlin mumbled tiredly, "Katie" she spoke angrily, Katie stopped immediately, "Sorry" she spoke quietly feeling guilty for keeping Caitlin awake. Caitlin rarely heard this side of Katie, her voice vulnerable and tired, she sat up before turning on the lamp beside her, Katie turned slowly to face her confused, "What's going on" Caitlin asked before Katie could, "What do you mean" katie asked confused as Caitlin moved her body closer before wrapping her arms around her, "Talk to me, why can't you sleep" Caitlin said as she brushed her fingers through Katie's hair, katie hesitated before letting herself fall into Caitlin's embrace, and taking a deep shaky breath, Caitlin's worry grew instantly, before katie started to cry. Caitlin didn't know what was happening, "Kates, what's wrong" Caitlin asked quietly as she wiped Katie's tears that continued to fall, katie hid her face in Caitlin's shoulder, she hated feeling like this, showing her emotions even to Caitlin, "It..Hurts" she spoke quietly in between her cries, Caitlin sighed as she kissed Katie's forehead, knowing exactly what katie was talking about, "Baby, you should've told me earlier, I'll be back okay" Caitlin said as she placed another kiss on Katie's head before getting up to grab katie some painkillers and a heat pack, when Caitlin returned katie was holding her back, Caitlin sighed at the sight, before she placed the heat pack on her back and handed her the painkillers, katie took them before snuggling back into Caitlin's body. Caitlin laid awake on her phone as she gently drew circles on Katie's back, finally when she felt Katie's breathing slow and her body fall heavily into her side, she kissed Katie's head one more time before falling asleep herself.

The next morning both girls were woken up by there alarms, Caitlin turned her body to face Katie's as she slowly placed kisses on her neck making Katie smile. "morning Kay, how's your back feeling" Caitlin asked as she leaned into Katie's touch, Katie knew as soon as she told Caitlin it was still hurting she would have to miss out on training, and that was the last thing she wanted, "Much better this morning, thank you baby" Katie lied as she kissed Caitlin gently before slowly getting up, Caitlin didn't believe Katie but also wasn't going to push it, she knew she would just have to keep a close eye on her at training.
When the two arrived they walked in where the team were getting ready for training, Katie walked over to her cubby and sat down before taking more painkillers, Caitlin watched on worried, before taking a seat next to her, "You sure you should be training, you don't want to make it any worse" Caitlin said quietly to Katie who nodded, "It's fine" Katie said as she looked away from Caitlin's eyes knowing she could read right through them, "Okay, but afterwards your getting it checked out, just to make sure" Caitlin said as she stood up and held out her hand for Katie to take, Katie nodded before taking her hand and following her out to training.
