Avoiding Fate

Elizabeth's POV

My injury happened so quickly that one minute I was running for the ball about to score the winner of the Women's Champions League Final! I was on top of the world, the next minute I was on the ground in so much pain that I must've blacked out for a second because all I remember was opening my eyes and immediately seeing Leah was just over me whilst the medics were at my foot they also had the stretcher  which I didn't want to get into but when I tried to move my foot I realised I was going to have to go off in the dreaded stretcher,

Whilst I was getting treatment, I heard a Spanish accent coming over to talk to Leah, when I looked at who it was, I thought my eyes were seeing things but no they weren't Alexia Putellas was really trying to see how bad my injury was, I also heard her apologise, then it hit me Alexia was the one who accidentally tackled me and has caused me so much pain that i was then in,

As I was getting prepped to be taken off the pitch, I saw Alexia with the ref being given a red card for the challenge on me, also while a few of the girls came over to me and kept saying "it'll be okay" I wanted to believe that at that moment that it was okay because I was potentially looking at six months out, meaning I'd miss potentially four months of a seven month season, and that's if my recovery goes well,

I started to panic but then I felt a hand on my hand I looked over expecting to see an red arsenal shirt but when I looked over I saw a red and blue shirt and looked up to see alexia putellas who no longer had the captains armband as she had given it to marta torrejon,

Alexia was trying to calm me down as she could see I was starting to panic about the injury, when I finally got off the pitch I was brought to the medical room, alexia had gone to her changing room as she wouldn't be allowed in the room, this room is also where the team doctor and on site medic took off my boot and sock carefully to see that my ankle was double the size what it should be, when the doctor said I had to go to the hospital to get an X-Ray, I began to cry because I wanted so much to be on the pitch with my best friends and girlfriend who I love so much. The team doctor was trying to put my foot in a bandage so I would be able to walk on crutches.

I also had to get changed, I kept my jersey on but I wore my arsenal tracksuit shorts and put on one of my shoes which were Nike air force ones that had a red swoosh for arsenal, I brought the other shoe with me, as I went to get up the physio Emma was there to catch me if I fell thankfully I didn't need her much but I am glad she was there,

Emma helped me to walk to the door where we were met with Alexia looking for me to see how I am, when Emma told her they were bringing me to the hospital to get an X-Ray,

Alexia still feeling guilty about what she accidentally did to me, demanded that she came with me to the hospital so they could have someone who spoke Spanish even though the medic in the stadium had already called ahead and the hospital were expecting me, I also could speak fluent Spanish as I had come here every year with my family plus I love learning languages but I wasn't going to tell Alexia that so we weren't going to say no to La Reina
