Jessie's POV

"Jessie." I hear someone say so I look up from my phone.

"Hey Alex." I say as Alex Scott walks into the waiting room.

"I came as soon as I could." Alex says.

"You're the first one here." I say. "Everyone else is stuck in traffic."

After Emma was air lifted out of the stadium, the game was called off due to the fact that the pitch was fucked as well as the fact that both teams were very emotional.

Alex nods then she sits down next to me.

"Is it true you're going to be the next Arsenal manager?" I ask.

Joe's leaving Arsenal to coach the Australian Men's team.

"Yeah." Alex says. "It'll be official on Monday."

"If this goes well then you, me, and Emma Hayes will need to have a conversation." I say.

"About?"

"I don't want to be away from Emma more than I have to for national team." I say.

"Gotcha." Alex says as I hear a bunch of footsteps outside the room.

Moments later both teams burst into the room.

Once everyone is in the room they start asking questions at the same time.

Eventually Shadow has enough of everyone's shit and she starts barking until everyone shuts up.

"Good girl." I say after Shadow stops barking.

Shadow smiles at me then she rests her head on my legs.

"How about you all sit down before you start asking questions." Alex Scott says.

Everyone nods then they find a chair to sit down.

"Hey Kadeisha." I say as Kadeisha Buchanan sits down next to me.

Nobody knows what happened, but for some reason many of the non French players left Lyon after the Olympics.

Kadeisha signed for Arsenal.

"Hey Jessie." Kadeisha says as a nurse pops her head into the room.

"They're about to start the transplant." The nurse says causing me to nod. 

"May I ask you something?" I question.

"Of course." The nurse says then she walks into the room.

"Be honest." I say. "How likely is my fiancée to wake up after the surgery?"

"10 percent." The nurse says then she leaves quickly and rushes back to the OR.

"Transplant?" Emma's cousin Jordan asks.

"When we got here they rushed her to surgery and got her heart restarted." I say.

"That's good." Pernille says and I nod.

"When the team doctors called the hospital to tell them what was going on, the transplant team immediately started looking for a match and they found one so Emma's getting a new heart." I say then my phone buzzes so I check it.

Elysse: We're still stuck in fucking traffic.

Elysse: Some prick ran from the cops and they've got him trapped in a car on the motorway which is causing a traffic jam.

Elysse: We'll be there asap.

Me: Okay.

Me: They're starting Emma's heart transplant now
