One Team One Fight

Chapter 27

Your pov

Today is the final for the Algarve Cup. We are playing France. I'm nervous, like beyond nervous. I know we have played them before but still. Everything we have worked on is on the line, what if I mess up and make us loose the 10th Algarve cup in a row.

"You okay babe?" Asks Christen snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Hmmmm what? Oh sorry yeah I'm okay" I say

"Your doing it again" she says chuckling

"Doing what again?" I ask still confused on what she was talking about.

"Overthinking about the game, babe we go through this every big game. It's a team effort so if we did loose it would be on all of us, plus there are other games! Loosing one game won't be the worst thing. Everyone looses sometimes you have nothing to worry about." She says

"True thanks baby " I respond

"No problem" she responds kissing my cheek and she gets up and walks into the bathroom.

We both get ready and then head down for breakfast. I play with my food more then eat it. Thankfully no one says anything.

My phone starts to buzz. I pull it out and look at who it is. It's my doctor, I hit accept and stand up and walk out of the room and outside the hotel.

(Your doctor ) "hello y/n it's dr. (Your doctor)
I just wanted to let you know that we have found a surgery that could help you get full function in your arm again. I know your in Portugal right now, so when you get back I would like to schedule an appointment with you once your back in the states to talk about the option." He says

"That sounds great! I look forward to the appointment. I will be back in the states Tomrrow night, I can meet with you on Wednesday?" I and

"Does Wednesday at 2 work for you?" He asks

"That's perfect thank you dr (whoever your doctor is) have a night day" I reply m

"You too y/n and good luck today" he says before hanging up.

"Thank you have a good day" I say

I walk back in and back to the dining room. I go and sit back down.

"Sorry I had to take that" I reply taking a sip of my water.

Who was it? Asks Tobin

"My doctor, he called and said there was a surgery that could help my arm get full function again. I see him on Wednesday to talk more about it." I say

"That's awesome! You better call us and let us know how it goes!" Says Hope

"I will send out a mass text don't worry". I say

"Good" she says

We continue to talk, and then we go up to get our bags and board the bus. Everyone had their headphone on and the bus was silent.

We get to the arena and go to the locker room. We all change and then get in line. After that we walk onto the field and they go through the roster and the anthems of both teams.

Soon enough the ref blows her whistle and the game starts. We are about 10 minutes into the game, I got fouled and we got a free kick. I took it, I kicked it up and Julie was able to head it past the goalie and sent it in the back of the net. Julie ran and hugged me. The rest of the team came to hugs us.

It's close to the end of the first half now and I was able to kick the ball up to Christen who was able to get back 4 French defenders and she too the shot, it sailed past the goalie and hit the top right corner. We were up 2-0 at the half.

We went to the locker room and Jill didn't say much. She was happy with our performance and we wants us to keep it up.

We walked out of the locker room and back onto the field. We ended up keeping our two goal lead against France. We won't the cup 10 times in a row.

We are back at the hotel packing our bags. We have a early flight in the morning. Christen and I have already showered and packed so we were just laying on the bed.

Next morning

Christens pov

I wake up to the sound of my alarm, y/n is still sound asleep. I nudge her gently and she stirs awake.

"Sorry babe but we have to get going. If we hurry we can get Starbucks." I say

"Do you just want to wait until we get to the airport?" She asks

"Yeah that would probably be better." I respond

We both get ready, and bring our bags down. We load them onto the bus and then we go and sit in the back and wait for the rest of the team. The team slowly gets on the bus and then we head to the airport. We get our bags checked in and then we are waiting for our flight to be called some of us went and got Starbucks, while some are on their phones looking at stuff.

Our flight gets called and we all board the plane. We sit on our assigned seats and then buckle up for take off.

Skipping the plane ride

We just landed, and we are waiting to get off the plane. Once we are all off the plane, we all went our separate ways. We all get to go home for a few weeks before the She Believes cup.

Christens plane got called and she kissed me goodbye before she left.

"I'll text you when I land". She says

"Okay, I will do the same" I respond

"Bye babe" she says

"Bye" I respond

Soon enough everyone's plane is called and I'm one of the last to board my plane. I got home and layed on my bed for a bit before I got up and unpacked, I put all my clothes in the wash. After that I went to the grocery store and got a few things and I ordered a sandwich at the deli. I went home and put everything away and ate my sandwich and then I showered and went to bed.

New chapter I hope you like it, let me know what you think. Thanks for reading.
