The call up (USWNT fanfiction)

Hospital

Sorry guys it's been a long while since I updated this but I am ready to start getting back into it! Anyway let's get into the chapter.

Emily's POV:
I walk into the room and see Lindsey awake. "Hey guys." She says smiling. "Hey Linny." Tobin says hugging her best friend. I hid behind Liv not really wanting to see Lindsey in pain. "Sonny I know your there come here I wanna see you." Lindsey says making Liv move so that Lindsey can see me. "Ayyyy there she is!" Lindsey shouts and laughs. I crack a smile and walk over to her. "Um guys can you leave me and Sonny alone for a bit." Lindsey asks and the rest nod their heads. We watch them walk out and Lindsey kisses me. "Wow that was..." I start. "I'm sorry I-" Lindsey says at the same time. We both laugh. "I have wanted to do that for so long. I'm sorry if I have just ruined our friendship but I needed to-" "Linds calm down I have wanted to do that since the day I met you." I say smiling. She smiles and we kiss again. "Oh shit sorry!" Sam says walking out with Mal behind her. We laugh and ask the doctor if we could have the whole team in. He nods and gets the team in. "Lindsey Horan!" Julie shouts. "What?!" Lindsey shouts back confused. "I asked you if you were okay at second half. You should've come off then this wouldn't have happened. I should have told coach I needed to-" "Julie!" "tell coach then you would be fit and healthy ready to play in semi's-" Julie continued. "Julie Ertz!" Julie finally stopped talking and looked at Lindsey. "This isn't your fault. It's none of your faults. I was the one who went into the tackle and didn't tell anyone I was in pain. All I ask from you guys now is that you thrash England and win against whoever we play against in the final!" She shouts and we all cheer. Come on England bring it.

*2 nights before the Semi* 

!Trigger Warning Christen's mum dying!

Tobin's POV:
Right now we have team bonding in mine and Christen's room. "Boom bitches I win this round!" Emily shouts. "Seriously this is like the 15th time what the fuck!" Mal shouts back as Emily laughs. "Mallory!" Chris shouts and Mal bows her head. "Sorry mum." We all laugh and Lindsey starts shouting at Mal. "Don't say that to my beautiful girlfriend." She shouts laughing. We all laugh. "Pressy your phone is going off!" Pinoe shouts. "Who is it?" "Um let me look. It's your sister." "Okay guys can we be quite for a minute." The room goes silent and Christen picks up the phone. "Hey Tyler what's up." "Woah woah Ty calm down. I can't understand you." "Ty what are you saying. No. No, no, no Ty!" Christen shouts and I run to her. I hug her and she breaks down in my arms. "Guys let's go come on!" Carli shouts at the girls to leave the room. "Thank you." I whisper to her and she nods her head. After a while Christen calms down. "What's up baby?" I ask her. "My mum she had another seizure. She didn't make it." She says her voice cracking at the end. "Babe I'm so sorry." I say seeing my girlfriend break down again. I hold her and soon enough we both fall asleep.

!TW OVER!

Liv's POV:

"Game day baby!" Sonnett yells coming into the canteen. I sit next to Tierna and kiss her. "Well good morning to you too." She smiles and I laugh. I see mum and mumma glaring at Tierna and I role my eyes. "Hey has anyone heard from Press or Heath?" Becky asks and everyone shakes their head. "Not even you Mally." Lindsey asks confused. "Nope Chris seemed really upset though. I hope she is okay." We all nod and continue eating. A few minutes go past and we see Tobin and Christen enter the room. They get their food and sit down. "Okay girls!" Tobin shouts to gain everyone's attention. "We have already told Vlatko but I wanted you guys to know too because we go through everything as a family." We all nod. "Chris's sister phoned yesterday to tell her that her mum has um unfortunately passed away." Tobin says her voice cracking. "Holy shit." Crystal whispers. Kelley immediately runs to Christen and starts crying. They have known each other since Stanford and Kelley was always close to Stacy. We all hug Christen and offer her our condolences. "Due to this Pressy will be starting today insted of Megan." Tobin continues and nods her head. "I love you guys." Chris says crying. "We love you too!" We all shout and hug her again.

*The match*

 Commentators:

"So the USWNT has made a change today starting Christen Press instead of Megan Rapinoe. What do you think about that Julie." "I think there must be an explanation for this. We did see in the last game Megan grabbing that right hamstring a lot and so maybe that is why Vlatko has decided to play Press instead." "Well yes they have already lost Lindsey Horan due to Henry making that hard tackle but anyway kick off is coming up so tune in to see England versus America in the semi-finals." 

Christen's POV:
"Kells!" I shout making a run towards back post. Kelley crosses it and I jump up and feel the ball connect with my head. I look up and see the ball go into the back of the net. I scream and put my hands in the sky. The team circle me and hug me. "I'm so proud of you babe!" Tobin shouts at me. "That was for you mum!" I shout and look at the sky. I let out a few tears and we continue the game. We win 2-1 and celebrate like hell. Whilst we were in the changing rooms celebrating Pinoe turns down the music. "Guys I just wanted to say. No matter what happens next game I love you all. You are all bad ass and have tried your best at everything! We have made it this far! We have made so many fucking sacrifices to get to this moment. For some of you it will be a first time experience for some of you it will be a second and maybe even a third. You are all like sisters to me and I love you all so much. I want to dedicate this world cup to Lindsey and Stacy. Chris you made her so fucking proud today! I am so proud of you! We will win this for her." I start crying and everyone hugs me. I am winning this world cup for you mum.
