The last few days have been rough. I keep waking up with the same nightmares. It's gotten to the point where I don't sleep. Today's the finals. We play Germany again for Gold. I'm already ready and Hope and I head down for breakfast. After everyone is done eating we head on the bus and head to the arena. We came a few hours early to practice before the arena for full. We mostly worked on passing the ball and communicating better.

Once the arena starts to fill up we head to the locker room to change. Once we were all ready we walked out just like we did every other game. The we got into a huge circle and coach gave talked a little. Then we put our hands in.

USA on 3.

1..2..3.. USA! We all yelled

We broke apart and walked onto the field. Alex wrap her arm around me and said

"One team" she says

"One fight" I reply

Germany steps on the field and once we're all ready the whistle blows signaling the start of the game.

Alex's pov

We are 30 minutes into the game and the score is still 0-0. Y/n has been getting knocked around. I'm honestly surprised she's still playing.

Tobin nutmegged someone on Germany's team and passed it to Me . I passed it back to Tobin who tries to score but the goalie punches it away and I was able to get there and send the ball flying in the back of Germany's net. I jumped into Tobin's arms and the stadium chanted USA.

"Let's go!" I yell

Y/n runs over and hugs me.

Germany has the ball and Ali was able to get it away from them. They sent the ball down to Tobin who passed it to me and I passed it to y/n. The German defender goes after y/n and the ball.

Your pov

Alex just passed me and the ball and I looked to my right to see if Mallory is open but she was trying to get around two people. I get inside the box and German defender slides into me and I end up flipping over her and I hit the goal post. I get up slowly and walk it off. We get a penalty kick and I take it. The whistle blows and I take the shot.

GOALLLLLLLL

I fall to my knees and point up to the sky and everyone jumps on top of me. They get off me and we jog back to our starting places. Germany has the ball and the girl in front of me gets passed the ball. I easily get it away from her and send it up the field to Mallory. The girl looks at me and pushes me a little. I put my hands up in defense hoping the ref will see it. She pushes me again and then swings at me. I duck the first time but the second time her fist collides with my jaw. She shoves me down soon enough the whole Germany team is fighting with us. The refs and security come onto the field trying to break it off. Most of us walk off the field. The goalie grabs me and I try getting away from her. She shoves me back into the goal post and I hit the back of my head hard. The ref tries to pull her off me but she grabs my head and slams it into the post hard and I hit the ground. I don't move. Alex,Carli ,and Tobin come running to me. The trainers come on to check me and I get helped up. I walk off the field with them.

"I'm okay" I say

Your out the rest of the game. They are targeting you. Says Carli

"I want to play! This is the finals and there's only 10 minutes left." I say

"Y/n you have a cuncussion you not going to play anymore I'm sorry" says Dawn

"Okay" I say

The game continues and we win 2-1. We won the gold! We all headed to the locker room to change into our warm ups for the medal ceremony. I hear the door open and I instantly start to freak out. I hear a deep voice..
