Hey guys! This is my first time writing, so don't be surprised if it isn't great, but if you have any suggestions I'll try to work on them. Hope you enjoy!
Tobins pov
We were in the middle of a match against Canada. And as usual it was a very physical game. The rivalry between the two team was always a big thing, neither team wanting to give the other an edge. But what’s pissing me off is how much they are targeting Y/N. Ever since her first touch they have been trying to shut her out of the game and every time she gets the ball they do everything in their power to get her off the ball whether she’s left standing or not. But no matter what she still continues to get up every time.
Julie gets the ball off Sinclair and we start a counter attack. She passed me the ball as I run up the wing megging Canadians as I go. I see Y/N making a run into the box, so I send in a cross up high to her. She jump up to contest for the ball against a Canadian player. She gets her head on the ball and I look to see the ball hit the back of the net. I raise my hands in celebration to the crowd. I turn to try and find Y/N, but I see her on the ground.
And she isn’t getting up.
I run over to where she is on the ground unconscious and by the time I get there Alex and Mal are already around her while Lindsey and Emily are going off at the ref and I presume the player who knocked Y/N over.
“What happened?” I ask Alex I knee beside her. “The player hit her instead of the ball and Y/N hit her head off her knee as she came down. She probably smacked her head off the ground hard too”. I nod as I lean over Y/N head, “Y/N. Y/N can you hear me? Cmon Y/N wake up”. After a minute or two her eyes start to flutter open. “Toby..what happened?” she slurs as she tries to get up. Mal gently pushes Y/N back into her back, “You need to stay still until the physio get here”. Mal and Alex look after Y/N while I watch the replay of Y/N's injury. You can clearly see Y/N marker pulling on her jersey and then headers her in the back of her head long after Y/N scores. All I see is red before I march over to where the player who hit Y/N is. “What the hell was that? The ball was no where near her and you hit her anyway” I shout at the player before I shove her. “Come off it” she scoffs. “Don’t act like you haven’t been targeting her the whole game. You just can’t get over the fact that she’s a better player than you” I shout back.
A shoving match ensures as the ref tries to separate the two teams. Eventually he separated us, he gives the Canadian a red and I get a yellow. Julie drags me away before I can do any more damage. I turn back to see Y/N getting carried off the pitch in a stretcher. I feel someone put a hand on my shoulder, “She’s going to be okay. Right now you need to focus on the match”. I nod at Allie as I get back into position for their kick-off. The only thing I’m certain of is there is no way I’m getting off this pitch without a win.
Once the match is finished I quickly shake hands with the other team before booking it to the sidelines and go immediately to Jill, “Any news?”. Jill nods slightly, “She has a concussion and a black eye but other than that she’s fine. She’s resting in the dressing room”. I nod at her before sprinting to the dressing room. When I enter Y/N is lying on the table staring at the ceiling. She hears the door shut and looks over at me and smiles, “Hey Toby”. I instantly smile just seeing her smile up at me as I walk to stand beside the table before grabbing her hand, “Hey Y/n. How are you feeling?”. “I have a headache and my eye is throbbing but other than that good. Did we win?”. I nod, “Yeah we did. I’d say you getting injured fuelled everyone to win”. She nods before looking down at our hands watching as I rub my thumb over her knuckles, “I heard what you said on the pitch”. I freeze for a second before continuing what I was doing, “Oh”. She just looks at me, “Why did you lose your cool like that?”. I sigh before looking at her.‘Its now or never' I thought.
“Because I care about you Y/N. When I saw you lying there unconscious I just lost it. I had to watch you get thrown around the whole match, but you always got back up. When you didn’t get back up I was scared that it was something serious. I don’t want to lose you” I whisper. The room was silent for a second before she shifts to sit up and wraps her arms around my neck, “You won’t ever lose me Toby” she whispers before closing the gap between us. I wrap my hands around her waist and pull her closer. We didn’t pull apart until air became essential. I rest my forehead against hers and stared into her E/C eyes. I was about to say something but was interrupted but a loud “Finally” coming from behind us.
We turn around to see the team standing at the door. We both blushed crimson and I tried to hide my face in Y/n's neck. “We were starting to think ye would never tell each other” Kelley laughs. “And all it took was Tobs getting into a fight” Alex says. “She was defending my honour” Y/n jokes. The team laugh as I can feel myself going even redder. “I hope you know the minute I’m better you are taking me on a date” she says cheekily. I just look down at her, “deal”.Hope you enjoyed my first imagine.(Sorry if it wasn't up to your standard). But if you want to send me prompts or imagines ideas leave them in the comments and I'll try my best to do them.
