One Team One Fight

Chapter 19

Your pov

Today the team is going to practice for the game tomorrow. I have to go to a hospital to go get a stress test done. Which I'm not exactly happy about. Even though I'm not allowed to practice or play in the game until next week.

Christen insisted on coming with me but I convinced her to go and practice. They need her for the game.

Coach Jill called a taxi for me already. I kiss Christen and tell her goodbye before I walk out and go to the elevator, I walk out of the hotel and find the taxi. I get in and the guy drives to the hospital. I check in and I'm taken to a room and a tech girl told me everything that's going on.

They hooked me to a EKG to monitor how fast/ or slow my heart rate is. She also put a blood pressure cuff on my arm to check my blood pressure. I step onto the treadmill and start jogging and then picking up my pace.

About 15 minutes into running my chest is starting to hurt a little but I keep going until the pain gets worse. I then tell the nurse that my chest is starting to hurt and she tells me to stop. I slowly come to a stop and she monitors my heartbeat and blood pressure until they both return back to normal.

The nurse told me that I had to wait a few hours to do the next part of the test. So most of the time I'm just sitting in a chair watching the shows they have on or I'm texting Christen and giving her updates.

About 2 hours later she asks me to put a gown on, I go and change and then come back and she tells me to lay down on the table. I do as she says and lays down. She puts this Gel stuff all over my chest and grabs this wond like thing against my chest and rubs it all around my chest.

Soon enough she's done and she wipes the gel off and tells me I can change back into my clothes. I quickly change and then I come back into the room and she asks me some questions.

Then she lets me go and I call a taxi. They take me to the arena. I pay him and make my way inside. The team is still practicing so I sit down on the bench and rub my temples. I have a bad headache now.

Soon enough the team gets a water break and people walk over.

"Hey your back! How did it go, are you okay?" Asks Alex

"Hey, yeah it went okay and yeah I'm fine, just a bad headache." I reply keeping my head down

Maybe the trainers have something for your head you should go ask! She says

I look up

"I didn't even think of that, thank you." I say

"No problem" she replies

Christen walks up and hugs me. We talk for a few minutes and then she has to go back to the drills.

It's defiantly weird not practicing with the team. I mean the only other time I haven't been able to play with the team was after I got shot and I was recovering and doing physical therapy.

This time I'm perfectly fine other then me passing out on the felid in the England game. But I feel a lot better and I regret not drinking enough fluids as I should have.

Soon enough practice ends and everyone heads to the locker room. I stay outside waiting for Christen. She comes out and we board the bus, once everyone is on, we head back to the hotel.

Christen and I tried to go to lunch but the paparazzi was all over us. We ended up getting two sandwiches and bringing them back to the hotel.

We sit down on the bed and eat while watching some tv show that was on. It was more for background noise, we mostly talked and laughed. I can tell she wants to asks me questions.

"Okay, what questions do yo have?" I ask

"Is it true?" She asks

"About why we left Italy? Or if my dad was behind the shooting and if he was behind my mom and siblings death?" I ask

"Well both"  she says

"Yes they are all true." I way

"Y/n I'm so sorry" she says

"Don't be, it's okay." I say

She's quiet for a few minutes

"I'm afraid I'm putting you in danger. My dad is still out there, I don't know what I would do if he took you or hurt you." I say looking down at my fingers.

"Hey look at me" she says

I slowly look up at her

"Nothing will happen to me, I'll be with the whole team and so will you. We will be protected. Just because you have a crazy father doesn't mean I'm walking out of your life just because you think you are putting me in danger. Do you want to know why?" She asks

Why? I ask

"Your worth it that's why. I haven't been this happy with anyone before and I'm sure as hell not letting this get in between us." she says crashing her lips on mine. I kiss back and we break apart when air is needed.

We both get our breathing under control.

"Thanks" I say

"No problem." she says

We change the subject and talk about random stuff until dinner. We walk down together and get in line to grab our food. We all sit down and Jill stands up and starts to talk to us.

"Okay ladies I have some special speakers here today and I want you to be respectful okay? So just look at those doors." She says

Soon the doors open and it's everyone's family's. They all walk in and everyone gets up and goes to their family. I smile and stand up and I'm introduced to some of the families.

After that I walk out of the dining room. I go to the elevator and up to my room and I sit down on the bed. I rub my face and sit there.

I get a few texts asking where I am and for telling me to come back. I ignored them and decided to shower.

After I showered and stepped out and put my hair in a ponytail. I walk back out and sit back down. Everyone was eating by now but Christen made sure that my chair was still open. I sit back down.

"So y/n, where is your family?" Asks her mom

"Um, all my family passed away about a year ago." I respond

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry." she says

"It's okay" I respond with a soft smile

After that awkward conversation happened I couldn't stand to be there anymore.

"I think I'm going to head up to the room for the night, I'm not feeling the best right now." I say

I say good night to Christen and tell Jill I'm going up to my room. I can tell she feels guilty. She probably wasn't even thinking when she planned this. But it's okay. Most of us haven't seen their parents in weeks so I'm happy she planned this.

I go up to my room and take my brace off and lay down on the bed. I fell asleep slowly
