Caelyn's POV
I'm excited because I'm going to the stadium today to see my team play Ukraine in the revenge thriller today
"Do you get to walk at all" Chance asked me
"Yeah, the doctor said I can walk to the bathroom and to get food but other than that, stay on crutches" I told them
"Ahh, do you really want to wear that puffy brace" Drew asked
"No, they gave me a special brace for torn ACL's that I'm gonna wear to the game" I told him as I got up to change (media) and then came back out as Michael drove me to the stadium so I can cheer on my team
I got there 30 minutes after everyone else did on purpose for the surprise and I just hopped in while they were warming up and sat down
"CAELYN" Lena squealed and hugged me as she grabbed another stool for me to elevate my knee
"Haha thanks and hi Lena" I smiled returning the hug
"Did Michael bring you here" she asked
"Yeah, he's somewhere in that section right behind us" I said pointing right behind me
"Ahh got it well can you help me warm up Mari with setting a bit" she asked
"Yeah get her over here" I told her and Mari came over and hugged me
"So you're gonna help me warm up" she asked
"Yup, just set it to me and I'll set it back and we'll keep going" I told her and we did that for 7 minutes straight before the start of the game
"Nia, what do you think this USA team has to do to make up for the loss of 16 year old superstar Caelyn Andrews" Amanda asked
"I think they have to be aggressive with hits like her, now we're gonna go down by Caelyn and ask her what she thinks" Nia said and she came down towards me
"First of all, how are you feeling, we miss you on the court already" Nia told me
"It's been a little rough but I'm confident that after these long painful 10 months, I'm gonna make a great comeback" I explained
"Awesome, so what do you think is the key to your team winning" she asked me
"They have to be aggressive with their hits as much as possible. I think they should put themselves in my mindset and they'll be golden. Just kill, kill, kill" I nodded
"That's good and also congrats on committing to Penn State for volleyball" she told me
"Aww thanks so much! I'm so excited to be there in a year and a half" I smiled
"Well thanks Caelyn, we wish you a speedy recovery" Nia grinned
"Thanks so much" I waved bye to the cameras before paying attention to my team
"1.2.3 USA HEYYYY" we cheered and the starting lineup was Lena, Mari, Lauryn, Kenzi, Camryn, and Kim, yes Kim got to play
I was quite happy she got to play cause she is really good
"Coach what do I do" Kim groaned since she was freaking out because she doesn't know how to hit
"I don't know what you want me to tell you" Kiara shrugged
She didn't know what to do so I helped her
"Left right left up and snap your wrist, you got this Kim, just trust me" I encouraged her
She knew I meant it cause I hopped towards where coach was
"Ok you can coach" Kiara told me seriously
"Wait what" I exclaimed
"You would be a great coach" Celine agreed and I agreed and took over
"4" Kim called unsure but she was over ruled by Kenzi and she killed it but the ball came back over the net and Kim got her first kill and it was a hard ons as well
"YES KIM" I cheered and Ukraine called a timeout
"Girls, you are doing amazing" I squealed
"Are you the coach" Mari asked
"Yes ma'am" I said tipping a fake hat
"Awesome" Kenzi exclaimed high fiving me
"Ok I have no complaints, keep doing what you're doing, Mari, please set it to Kim every once in a while, Kim, keep doing what I told you and you'll do amazing" I explained
"1.2.3 USA HEYYY" we cheered and the girls went back on the court
"Hey, thanks Caelyn, I'm sorry for everything" Kim said
"I forgive you Kim, lets put everything behind us and be friends" I smiled
"Deal" she grinned
"Now, go get us a dub girlie" I joked lightly pushing her on the court

We ended up winning the thriller 3-1
"ALL I DO IS WIN WIN WIN NO MATTER WHAT GOT MONEY ON MY MIND I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH" we sang sitting down in the lockeroom
"Alright, nice game everyone. You are free to go home and I'll see you guys at practice tomorrow, well, not Caelyn but you know" Kiara said and I hopped out of the stadium to where the guys are
"Hi guys" I smiled getting in the front seat
"You worried me so much when you hopped over by the coach" Michael sighed
"Don't worry, it's under control" I laughed rubbing his shoulder briefly
"What should we do when we get home" Chance asked
"Sit in the hot tub" I nodded
"I'm down" Drew agreed
"Same" Brady seconded and I changed into my bathing suit as soon as I entered Michael's room and left my brace on
"I think Caelyn should get in first so then we can move around her" Sergio suggests and I go in taking my phone with me
"It feels so nice" I sighed
"When's your first check in" Michael asked
"2 days and that's when the stitches come out" I responded
They nodded and as Michael was getting in, I took a video of him (thus blessing with this image)

 You are free to go home and I'll see you guys at practice tomorrow, well, not Caelyn but you know" Kiara said and I hopped out of the stadium to where the guys are"Hi guys" I smiled getting in the front seat"You worried me so much when you hopped...

"Ooh who's man is this, sure she's lucky" I joked and Michael just looked at me
"Really babe" he deadpanned and I posted it on my snapchat story
"Hehe" I giggled smiling at him
"So how bad was this injury" Drew asked
"Pretty bad, you know the ACL *Drew nods* so yeah, it's the 2nd worst thing you could do to yourself" I shrugged
"So you committed to Penn State" Chance asked
"Yeah, on the phone a couple nights ago" I nodded
"That's awesome, D-1 school, hell yeah" Sergio cheered
"And better yet, the best college volleyball organization" Michael seconded
"He's not wrong" I shook my head

The rest of our night just consisted of talking and catching up as I just relaxed for the first time in a long time
