My BestFriend My Teammate and Broken Promises

Chapter 13

Tobin's PoV

I wake up to a pounding in my head. I look around. I'm in an unfamiliar place with white walls. I look over and see Alex on the bed next to me.

She looks terrible. Her head is wrapped up in a bandage her legs and back have a cast and brace on.

Then I lol over to the other side and see a doctor. He looks up and sees me liking at him.

"How are you feeling Tobin?" He ask me.

"My head hurts."

"Well you do have a concussion." I groan. Now I probably won't be playing in the World Cup.

"What's wrong with Alex?" I say. I'm scared to hear his answer.

"Well you and her along with someone else went up for a header and you swung your head back and hit her head. Which resulted in getting both of you concussions. Then when she landed a defender was running full speed and she couldn't stop herself in time and we don't know how it happened but she now has a broken back and both legs are broken. I'm sorry. You will be able to leave today if you sign some papers." He say. I groan. I'm the cause of some of her pain.

"Okay. I'll sign the papers. When will she wake up?" I ask.

"She should wake up tomorrow. She just had surgery. You have some friends very worried about you out there. Is it all right. If I let them in?" I smile.

"Ya that's okay." He walks out. I lie back down and close my eyes.

"Tobin!" I open my eyes and smile. There in front of me is my best friends. Lauren, Amy, Kelley, Carli, and Hope.

"Hey guys. How's it going?" I ask.

"How's it going? You and Alex have been out for two days! We've been worried sick!" Kelley shouts.

"Shh." Lauren says and points her head and whispers something to Kelley.

"Oh sorry Tobin." She says.

"It's okay. Just try not to tell again." I smile at her. She smiles back.

"So when is Alex supposed to wake up? The doctor wasn't very informative." Amy asks.

"Tomorrow sometime. I can leave today though." I say.

"Sweet! Don't worry we'll help you get healthy in time for the World Cup. Alex to. She might miss out on some games but she'll be ready to play. Her legs arnt badly broken." Carli says. That makes me feel better knowing that if we take a it easy we'll be able to play in the World Cup. The doctor comes in and gives me some papers and I sign them.

"I'll call you when she wakes up." He says.

"Okay thank you." I say. We all leave the hospital and go back to the hotel.

All my teammates and coaches are there to welcome me back. Their not really loud too and I'm grateful for that. Lauren must have called before hand and told them to nut be very loud. Lauren, Amy, and Kelley come with me to my room.

I take my medicine that's supposed to help with my headaches. We hang out for a bit then we all decide to go to bed.

"Goodnight guys." I say to them as they leave.

"Goodnight Tobs." They say and then they leave. Lauren stays behind though.

"What's up Lauren?" I say.

"How are you?" She says. I'm confused by this question.

"I'm fine except for the occasional migraines." She gives me a look.

"What?"

"You know what! I know about the whole head hitting thing. And I know you feel terrible about it so don't deny it." She says. She right I'm feel so misrable. I brake down in tears.

"Shh. It's okay Tobin. It was an accident."

"I know but when she wakes up part of her pain will be my fault." She stays quiet. I would too. She just holds me and brings me to my room and lays me on my bed before getting on the bed herself.

That night I fall asleep in her arms, crying.

The next morning I wake up and realises that Lauren isn't there anymore. I see a note beside me. It says:

Tobin,
I got up to go for a run. Take your medicine and rest.

I smile. Sometimes she can be so motherly. I take my medicine and get some breakfast than go back to bed.

I'm woken up by Lauren lightly shaking me.

"Tobin. The doctor called. Alex is awake." That got me out of bed. I got dressed and brushed my teeth.

We meet up with Kelley and Amy outside of my room and head over to the hospital.

When we get there I'm a little impatient. Everyone noticed.

"Calm down Tobin. Everything is going to be okay." Lauren whispers to me while rubbing my back.

We walk to her room and we meet the doctor outside of her room.

"How is she?" I ask.

"She's in pain. But she's okay. You can go in if you want." He walks away.

"Hey guys. Can I go last?" I ask them.

"Sure." They all smile at me and they go in. They come back out a little later.

"How is she?" I ask them.

"She's fine. A little sad and stuff." I nod.

"Well I'm gonna go in. You guys can go home. My cars here."

"Ok." They leave. I take a deep breath and walk in.

I open the door and walk in. Alex is proped up on some pillows her eyes are closed.

"Alex?" I ask. She opens her eyes and looks at me.

"Hi Tobin. What happened?" I was worried she would ask that question.

"Well you me and a midfielder went up for a header and..." I pause. Should I tell her? She'll probably be mad at me.

"And?"

"And I guess I'm the cause of your pain." I say. I look up at her. I can't read her face. "Alex?"

"Dang you Tobin!" I jump I wasn't expecting that response. "I can't believe you Tobin! First my boyfriend. I tried to forgive you but I hurt so bad on the inside. Now I hurt so bad on the outside. Because of you!"

"I'm sorry 'lex." I'm crying now.

"Don't call me that. Leave Tobin."

"Al-"

"I said leave. I need space." I run out crying. I run to my car and drive back to the hotel.

I run to my room. Thankfully nobody was around. I run to my room.

I can't believe what just happened. First my dad then my bestfriend. What makes it worse is that she promised she wouldn't leave me. But now she basically did. Now I have no one. I guess I had Lauren, Amy, and Kelley. But Alex and I had something special. Now I know that's never gonna happen again. I get up start writing. I out the letter in an envelope and put it out on the kitchen table.

I go to the bathroom and splash my face with cold water. I've caused so much pain and sadness and disgrace. I look over at the razor. Then down at my arm. The scars had faded so you could barely see them. But I was about to see them fresh again.

I grab the razor. I shut the bathroom door and lock it. No one can stop me.

A/N: so I'm gonna be having some free time so I'll be writing as much as i can. Are you guys even reading this and enjoying the story?
