One Team One Fight

Chapter 22

Your pov

After our plane ride we got our bags and got on the bus to go to the hotel. Everyone still had the same roommates as always. We got checked in and everyone got there room keys. It was already late so everyone fell asleep as soon as we unpacked.

Some of the girls wanted to go to the beach tonight since we have a free day today. Tobin was excited to surf. I told her she could teach me and she got even more excited.

Christen is in the bathroom putting her swim suit on. I'm already ready. I packed us a bag with things like towels, sunglasses, and sunscreen.

The beach was behind the hotel. Once everyone was ready we walked to the beach and set everything up. Most of us ran into the water. Tobin handed me a board. I was nervous. The waves looked kind of big.

"I'll be right next to you the whole time." Says Tobin pulling me into a side hug

"Okay" I say

"Heath don't kill my girl out there" says Christen sitting next to Alex

"I won't Press don't worry" she responds with a smile.

Tobin and I paddled out pretty far. I was already tired from only being able to use one of my arms. I don't know how Bethany Hamilton does it, it's exhausting.

Tobin shows me and I soon get the hang of it. We surfed for what seems like hours before Tobin said we should head back because the waves are getting bigger. We started paddling back as a huge wave hit us both causing us to go under.

I pop my head above water breathing hard. I looked around to find y/n, I saw another wave come.

"Y/n!" I screamed

Her head popped up and she struggled to get on her board.

"Swim!" I yell

We both swim and another wave crashes down on us sending us both deep under water. I come back up and I see y/n's board is snapped in half

"Fuck" I say

I swim around and look for y/n finally her head pops up and I grab her. I could tell she was tired.

"Hey y/n your gonna be okay but we need to get to shore. Take a deep breath" I say

Another wave crashes down on us and I keep a tight grip on y/n

"Y/n I need you to wrap your arm around my neck and your legs around my waist." I say trying to help her.

She's finally able to get on my back and I paddle as hard and as fast as I can as another wave hits us knocking y/n off me. Her eyes are closed now and she's not moving. I grab her and keep swimming until I can feel the ground. We were still pretty far out though.

"Hope! Alex! Julie! Christen! Anybody!" I yell trying to keep y/n's head out of the water and trying to keep going.

Ashlyn, hope, Christen and Alex run into the water and start swimming to us.

Christen takes y/n with Hope's help and Ashlyn and Alex help me out of the water. I collapse on the sand breathing hard. Y/n is layed next to me and hope checks her pulse before starting cpr.

Soon enough y/n coughed up water and Christen turned her on her side. She was breathing hard.

"Thank god" I say

"You are never going surfing again" says Christen pulling y/n up gently so she could lean up against her to breathe better

"Sounds great babe" she says finally able to get her breathing under control.

"Chris I'm so sorry I tried to get out of there before they hit." I say

"It's okay, I'm just glad your both okay." She says

Christen picks y/n up and brings her to the big beach blanket and sets her down. Alex and Ashlyn help me up and we walk over to the big beach blanket too. We all say and talked until the sun started to go down. We packed up and started to walk back to the hotel. Y/n hopped on christens back and I got on Ashlyn's back because Alex was holding everything.

We got back to the hotel and we all went our separate ways to our rooms. Alex and I shower before going to bed

Skipping practice day

I wake up in Christen's arms as the alarm goes off. It's game day today and I'm excited to play. I'm not very excited about playing Ireland. It's not that I don't like them, I'm just nervous to play them. I wasn't really liked in Ireland by the girls my age because I wasn't born there. So I got a lot of crap. I don't know if anyone is playing for the team but I wouldn't be surprised if some are on the team.

I actually got an offer to play for Ireland but I didn't want to go back there. I like America and I'm glad that I chose to play here then in Ireland. ( I'm so sorry if your from Ireland! I don't hate Ireland! It's one of my dream places to go. If I could I would live there)

Christen and I are getting our bags ready to go and we meet down in the dining hall and get breakfast. After that we board the bus to go to the arena. I heard the arena was sold out which meant there would be 18,000 people in the stands today. Plus the countless people who will be watching on the tv. It's crazy to think that it's already been a year playing with the national team and Portland Thorns and I already have a gold medal in my name and for the county I have grown to love.

We walk onto the field with the little kids like always and Alex made me captain today. They went through both Ireland and our roster. After that I went up and did the coin toss with the other captain from Ireland.

The captain was one of the girls that didn't like me very much. She knew who I was and I knew I was in trouble by the look she gave me.

I went back to the team after I shook hands with the refs and the captain from Ireland. Since I won the coin toss, we start with the ball.

The whistle blows and the game begins.

New chapter let me know what you think!

I looked at the comments and the majority vote was longer chapters, that doesn't mean I won't try to fit two chapters in a day. I will try my hardest to update more then once a day. If I only get one chapter done in one day I'm sorry, I'm trying to accommodate what everyone wants.
