SPENCER'S P.O.V
"What's wrong Carlin you're walking a little funny?"
Every team has a smart ass.
We have Madison.
"Tess if your feet worked as well as your mouth you'd be a half decent player"
"That's very clever Madison"
When Tess runs past me she deliberately bumps into me.
"Woops sorry Spencer"
It's been like this all game.
She keeps bumping me behind play.
"Are you alright?"
I move so my hand's are resting on my head.
"Madison just tap the ball back"
They just tied the game.
"SPENCER?"
Everyone's calling out my name, but there's nowhere to kick it, so I keep running until I get to the goal.
But when I shoot, the ball reflects of the goalies hand and dribbles out.
There can't be long left.
"Are you still going out with Ashley?"
This girl's really starting to bug me now.
"She's a hottie I might run over and ask coach if I can switch onto her"
I watch Mia as she walks over to take the corner kick.
"I'd love to spend the rest of the game brushing up against her"
I'm not going to bite.
This isn't the first time I've played on this girl and this isn't the first time I've been heckled about my relationship with Ashley.
"MIA GO LONG"
When she finally kicks the ball, I step around her and jump up for the header.
But the second it comes off my head, she takes my legs from underneath me and I come crashing to the ground.
"Fuck"
I'm not sure what hurts more, my back or my wrist.
"BREAK IT UP"
I can hear the umpire blowing his whistle, but I have no idea what's happening.
"Are you alright?"
She's kneeling next to me.
"I..."
I'm going to need a second.
"Do you think you can get up?"
That really fucking hurt.
"TRACE"
"Ash I'm fine"
I don't need the trainer.
"I..."
That knocked the air right out of me.
"Are you okay Spencer?"
"I'm fine"
I slowly move so I'm standing.
"COACH ROTATE"
I'm not even going to bother arguing with her.
I can barely walk.
"Let go straight to the rooms"
"Trace I'm okay"
"Spencer you're walking like an eighty five year old lady"
ASHLEY'S P.O.V
She's lying face down on one of the massage benches.
"Ash that was a pretty big hit"
"Yer..."
"Here"
When Maddy tosses me a drink, I quickly grab it and walk over to where Spencer's lying.
"Hey"
"How did we go Ash?"
"We won 2-1..."
She still hasn't looked at me.
"How is she Trace?"
"She's going to be a bit sore, but she'll be okay"
She looks like she's in a lot of pain.
"I'll be right back Spencer..."
When Tracy stands up she looks over at me.
"Don't let her move Ash"
What kind of power does she think I have?
If Spencer wants to move, she'll move.
"Are you okay?"
When she looks over at me, I move my hand so it's resting on her lower back.
"I'm fine"
"You had me really worried..."
"I'm okay"
I hate this.
"Spencer I'm really sorry"
I don't want to keep fighting with her.
"Ash can we not do this right now?"
When she says that I step right back.
"Sorry I'll leave you to it"
"Ashley?"
She's moving.
"Spencer you're not meant to be moving"
"I know"
When her hand touches mine, I move so I'm standing between her legs.
"Ash I should never have let four days pass without talking to you..."
I really wasn't expecting that.
"Even if I am upset"
"Here we go..."
Of course Tracy had to come back now.
"Ashley?"
"Tracy I tried..."
"Here"
When she hands me a tube of deep heat I smile.
"Rub this into her back after she showers"
I really don't think Spencer's going to let me touch her anytime soon.
"Spencer is your wrist still hurting?"
"Did you land on your wrist?"
"Ash I'm okay..."
She shouldn't be playing.
"Tracy it just feels like it always feels"
I stand back as Tracy cuts the tape of her wrist.
"It's a little swollen but you'll live"
"EVERYONE WE HAVE TO BE BACK ON THE BUS IN TEN"
"Okay well I'm in room 222 if you need anything"
"Thanks Trace"
When Tracy walks away I help her down off the bench.
"Thanks"
She's only wearing her shorts and a sports bra.
"I'll grab you a top"
I quickly walk over and grab my sweatshirt out of my bag.
"Here"
When I pass it to her she raises her eyebrows.
"Davies number fifteen?"
"Sorry I don't know where your bag is"
"I'm only joking Ash it's fine"
I watch her as she awkwardly pulls it over her head.
"I should probably go grab the rest of my things"
I hate this.
"Spence?"
When I say her name she turns back around.
"Can we please talk when we get back to the hotel?"
"Yer"
