If You Could See Me

25

Since no one gave me suggestions on a line up for the Real Madrid, I'll have to make my own. So updating will take another few weeks or so. I wanted help on it, so when I got names. I could just create one of the bat with a few wanted players from you guys but I got nothing. So thanks!
Anyway decided to be nice and make this quick chapter.

"I can't do this" I motion to her and I, and she gives me a hurt look. I quickly realize how I said that

"No no like that, I mean I hate this wheel chair, I hate being temporary disabled. Not being about to just pull you closer, theres this distance and I hate it" I tell her, she sighs in relief with her hand to her chest.

"You had me scared you wanted to end uh.. what we are"

"Well what are we Chris?" I ask her putting my hand on her thigh, she gives me a cheesy smile

"You're mine, and I'm yours" she grabs my hand and kisses the back of it. We stay at the beach for another hour, just talking and enjoying our alone time. We get home around 1 in the morning, Julie was awake and worried. We forgot to tell her, but she was glad we were fine. Christen and I get ready for bed.

Time SKIP

"Come on!"

"Ahhrrg" I wince as I push the bar up, and my shoulder hurts. When it's finally above my head, I put it to my waist and set it down. I blow the hair out of my face and turn to Clint.

"Hurts?"

I give him a "duh" look. He shakes his head, and grabs his stop watch. Knowing what he's about to tell me, I get on my knees and elbows. He's going to have me do planks. I hear the beep sound, and I get on my forearms. Immediately my shoulder and my knee start to hurt. I've been cleared from the doctor's but I'll still be experiencing pain.

"I know it hurts, your body isn't where it was before the accident. We need you to get better, get on track. Suffer the pain now, so you don't have to later." He tells me, I nod and fight through the pain. When he calls it, I drop to my stomach. I take a deep breath and exhale. He calls it a day, and we sit at a bench.

"Why'd you call it so early?"

"Because you need to rest, we can't overwork you all at once coming back from injuries." He points to my knee "I see it left a scar"

I put my water bottle down after taking a gulp.

"Clint I need all the training I can get, I have to make that roster" I tell him swabbing his finger away gently.

"I know, and you will but you need to give yourself some rest. Now go home or else I'll call Christen to come over and drag you out of here.. and I don't think you want that girl mad" he tells me chuckling at the end. Yeah Clint got me there. He pats my back and walks to his gym bag. Putting equipment in it. I grab the towel by my gym bag and wipe my face. I'm going to need a shower when I go home, for sure. I grab my bag and my water bottle. I wave goodbye to Clint and walk out the gym. I take the bus home.

I walk into the house, and see Christen and Julie on the couch drinking out of mugs. They are so moms. I make my presence known, I knock on the hall way wall. They stop talking and look to me straight away.

"Hey queens" I tell them as I walk over to Christen and kiss her forehead. I sit back on the couch next to her. She leans back to my side.

"How was the training today?" She asks me turning to me. I sigh and I put my head on her shoulder.

"Painful and tiring" I tell her, we sit and talk about our day until it's time for dinner. We all contributed, and got it done. A dinner of 4, Zach had called Julie while we we're eating so we stayed on facetime until dinner was over. It was nice to talk to him, it's been a while and I know how much Julie misses him. I'm in my room, laying down while texting Tobin.

Me: I don't know Tobin, seems dangerous... I'm in!

Toby: I knew you'd do it!

Me: Just gotta convince Chris👀

Toby: Already on it!

"You are not jumping off a cliff!" I hear Christen yell from the living room.

Me: Didn't convince her well enough my Tobs

Toby: I tried, but she's a tough cookie to crack.

I chuckle, and I get up making my way to Christen. She has her back to me, so I wrap my arms around her waist, putting my chin on her shoulder.

"Babe, imagine us at a beautiful clear beach drinking out of coconuts, holding each other while the sun goes down in the gorgeous islands of Hawaii" I tell her and I kiss her cheek.

"You're still not cliff diving with Tobin.. in the gorgeous islands of Hawaii" she tells me sternly. I smack my teeth, and she moves herself and faces me with a raised eyebrow. She grabs my face and kisses me, and when we pull apart she smiles up at me.

"Consider yourself Lucky because you are so adorable" she squeezes my cheeks, and I give her a pout. She let's go of my face, I grab her hand and she leads me to the couch. She sits down, and I lay my head on her thighs. She runs her fingers through my hair, and it feels really good.

"Jill's announcing the roster tomorrow" Christen speaks up, and hum to it.

"I know your anxious, but don't worry. I know for sure she'll give you chance" christen tells me, I half smile up at her.

"Of all the players, I'm sure I won't. I'm still in recovery. Which reminds me, can you take me to my physical therapist tomorrow?" I ask her, I have Physical Therapy for my knee. I have a few more meetings and then I'm done, hopefully.

"Of course, you know I don't mind. You also need to get a car B, I hate when you go on the bus late at night. There's creeps"

"I know my love, I'll see what I can do" the rest of the night, we chill and watch movies. Snuggling up with one blanket in each others arms.
