Can't Do It Solo (Sequel to Have Hope)

Impossible

Your POV:

"This gonna be all the talk at graduation."

"You won't even be able to see it because of the cap."

"Yeah but it was on live TV. Everyone saw it."

"You don't know that."

"Phoenix texted me. Mal read it."

"She said and I quote "we had a viewing party. Everyone saw it. LOL." end quote." 

Hope looked at Mal then back at me. "Well. Ok." She sat down. 

The doctor walked back into the room. "So. Small cut in your head, as you know. Mild concussion nothing to major or to worry about. It looked worse than it actually is." He said. "So you can sign out and be on your way."

"And playing?"

"When's your next game?"

"We leave for Boston in the morning. Games 3 days from today."

"You can play if you want, but if you want to be careful I'd sit out. You'll be ready for the Olympics or any other games you have."

I nodded. Ok."

"Yeah I'd sit out." Hope said. "You want to go to graduation in one piece." 

"Good point." The doctor said. "It's a big day. Another blow to the head you might not be this lucky." 

"Ok. I'll sit it out." 

*Game day*

Me and Jill worked out a plan. I was sitting out this game. BUT I'd probably play a good 20 minutes. 

I want to play! It's Olympic year, gotta prove myself! 

So now I was sat on the bench. Not ready to go but it wouldn't be an issue to get ready. 

Halftime rolled around in Boston. Some of my friends from college came to the game, including Garrett, Ari, and Phoenix. Jill told me to get ready. I was gonna play the full 2nd half. 

Got my cleats, shin guards, and walked over to Jill. "You're going in for Alex. Switch sides with Mal think that would work best."

"No it wouldn't." I said. "Leave Mal where she is." I said. "Come on Jill this is like the basic stuff." I sighed I walked to the bench and took my jacket off.

Cari passed me my jersey and I put it on. The fourth official held up the board and Alex made her way over.

"Substitution for the USA. Leaving the match number 13 Alex Morgan. Replacing her number 10 Y/N Solo-O'Hara." I ran onto the field. 

"What?" Morgan said. "You were supposed to sit out."

"You should know me by now babe. I don't "sit out" it's impossible."

I ran by her and talked to Mal. "Let's score some badass goals." 

First day of college was a success!! Online classes from the comfort of my couch. LIT.
