Mias POV:
They had one game in literally three hours, and the other ones were in a week or so. So they had a rest at least.
'When do we need to do it?' I Asked.
'Why, do you need to see someone?' My doctor questioned.
Jesse and Dele looked up.
'I mean, I'd like to see everyone, I'm not going to get to be there with you later.' I Said.
Dele nodded and opened the door. The whole team were stood there. They piled in and the doctor looked at me.
'5 minutes, we will get you prepped now.' He Said.
I nodded.

'Right Belgium boys, your prepared your ready.'
'You literally just need to use eachother, difficult tackle, pass, it's not a one man game it never has been.' I Said.
'If it means you getting a pass in and moving away from the opponent you do it, you don't need to look heroic you need to play the game.'

'Times up,' Said the doctor.
I looked down.
'Group hug.' Laughed Jesse.
They all bundled on top of me as best as they could.
I shook their hands as they walk out of the room.
'I love you.' Said Kieran.
'I love you too, you'll be ok.' I Smiled. He was a little one. Always was the baby of the group. And I felt his worry. It was terrifying.

Jesse dropped to the back of the group.
'For you.' He said stroking my cheek. I was starting to get sleepy because of whatever they put in me.
'I love you Mia Grace.' He smiled.
'I love you Jesse Ellis.' I Replied. He grabbed my hand tightly and I started to drift off. I felt my brother stroking my hair. Jesse had left. They had to play on.

A few hours later I woke up and the game was about 20 minutes in. 'How are we doing?' I Asked with my eyes shut.
'We're struggling, not going to lie.' I heard my brother reply. Although I knew he wasn't taking his eyes off the tv.
He was funny.
'Hello.' I laughed.
He looked down for a second.
'Hey babe, how are you feeling?' He Asked.
'Tired.' I Replied.
'Go to sleep.'
'I am not going to be able to Del.' I laughed.
Trying to sleep when a footballers watching football is impossible.

I looked up at the tv just in time to see us score. My brother started screaming.
'Shut up.' I laughed.
Cameras panned around the crowd and I noticed something different. They all had red roses.
Some had banners.
I don't know how the fans knew but they were aware I wasn't well.
The boys ran up to the camera. They were all making loveheart shapes with their hands.
'We love Mia.' Mouthed Harry.
I nearly cried.
'Everyone loves you.' Laughed Dele.
'It's cute.' I Replied.

'Don't cry.' He laughed.
I pouted.
'Just winds me up that I couldn't be there, and you couldn't be playing!' I Said.
'Don't hide things from me then.' He said pointing his finger at me. 

I rolled my eyes.
At full time my brother turned to me. He knows I don't do well with loosing.
And shrugged.
'What the hell you shrugging for?' I Asked. Quite angry, not at the boys but at myself.
'What's wrong?' He Asked.
'I should've been there.' I Said.

'It's nothing to do with you, It's the game, it beat us.' He said rubbing my hand.
The doctor walked in and shrugged too. Del gave him a look as if to tell him that he should be so so lucky he was in a hospital because any severe damage that I was about to cause could probably, maybe be fixed.
'We will win.'
I took a breath. There was no point being salty.
'I hope so.' I laughed.
'When can I go back?' I Asked.
He looked at me suspiciously.
'I'm not supposed to do this, but I know how much your missing them, so I can let you go now as long as you promise me to bed rest for at least the next week.' He Said.

I nodded.
Jess looked at me.
'Don't think I'm gonna let you off.' He Laughed. I rolled my eyes.
'Will I be able to go to the next game?' I Asked.
'When is it?' He questioned.
'A week and a half's time from now.'
'Yes, however you will need to be in light clothes and not be doing too much, remember you will be on tv and if I see you dancing around I'll be straight down there.' He Laughed.
I nodded.
'Thank you,' I smiled.

'No worries Mia, now go and get your boys into shape and pull England back together.'
