The match was on Saturday at 2 pm, it ended at 3:30, i woke up at 7:06, one hour after the hospital dinner was served.
Luckily her siblings managed to contraband a juice box thanks to Lana, a chocolate protein bar (those expensive ones) thanks to Lori, and sandwich... mashed banana and tuna with mayo a Lincoln speciality.
she waited until the nurses weren't passing constantly to take them from behind my pillow. The sandwich, despite being just like pink looking and having weird ingredients it tasted good. The juice make it all go down smoothly.
"Stupid Lori, always buying the fancy stuff" I check the brand and the is the price in the package, she shouldn't have to buy this for me. A single bar of this cost more than the pack of 12 of what I buy for home.
it's almost too good for her, almost. Death by chocolate and peanuts, so dense and delicious. It honestly worth the price, I save half of it for later, or that would have been my plan but the mix of dark chocolate in the exterior and the mix of nuts on the middle made it hard to stop eating.
I left my cellphone at home like I do in every important game so is hard to know how things are on the outside world, see how much the world changed.
A quick glance to the clock on the wall says 10:13 so Lynn decides to go to sleep.
The worst part about hospitals was the lack of space to exercise, no running on the corridors for the patients, no weights to lift, just enough space for basic training.
And even that was limited, the good old Doctor told Lynn to avoid heavy lifting, jumping, crouching and avoid excessive effort for at least a week or maybe two. She could jog or do long walks still but that wasn't enough.
That was goin to ruin her muscles. She had been walking around her room for at least half an hour and see why, she was getting dizzy.
As Lynn sit up on her bed she takes a glance on the clock reads 9:20, a knock on the door takes her attention. "come in"
The door open and Margo, Paula and Denise the goalkeeper enter
"Hi girls, good to see ya" a smile appears on Lynn face but upon seeing their clothes a small chuckle escapes Lynn mouth.
"How you feeling captain" Denise a tall but slightly pudgy girl with short black hair, she is dressed in a white shirt and jeans.
"I'm fine, my thick skull prevented serious damage" She smirks and knocks on her skull.
"it's good to see you are fine" Margo reaches onto a bright yellow backpack and takes 2 medals and Denise takes the trophy
"We brought you the trophy and your medals for being the VIP of the season and the most goals scored". Both girls let the items on the small table next to Lynn's bed.
"And I brought you your favorite from Burpin Burger" Paula opens her purse and takes the paper bag and places it along the medals, she then notices the gauze on the side of the head
"So how bad it was? Does it still hurts?"
"Well it was kinda serious but at the same time not" Lynn grabs the bag and takes a fry and examines it before eating it.
"My brain swolled up a bit and they had to drill my head and drain the liquid, just getting some headaches here and there and had to avoid some exercises."
"Thank goodness you are ok" Margo sighs and takes her phone. " "We all were very worried you know.
"The bad thing is that the part that swolled up was damaged and it controls the sight" Lynn nonchalantly says as she grabs the burger and examines it, and then looks at her friends and teammates that look worried.
"my vision is fine I just not longer process blue and yellow and everything looks kinda pink-ish, for example, Margo your shirt looks pink and your backpack is almost white, Paula hair and yours I see it as pink, the lettuce of this burger is kinda grey and a very dark aqua."
"What?" the three girls exclaim surprised and get near Lynn
Is it permanent? does everything looks like that? what other colors do you have trouble seeing?
Those and more questions are unleashed upon Lynn who just starts to eat.
"Calm down, is not that serious I guess." she takes a bite and some fries before continuing.
"I don't know about the colors things since I left my phone at home and I have not left the room except for pooping" Lynn let her burger on the table and watches at the phone in the hand of Margo.
"Hey Margo, could you lend me your phone? you have videos from the matches right?"
Sunday morning and her day was already ruined
Yesterday Amanda y te most important game of the season, her team was the favorite to win that soccer tournament.
The pressure was very high from her uncle, she had to win this game, it was in her blood.
Amanda did all that she could but that stupid brunette was to good, she had go back constantly back to defense just to stop her from scoring.
She had work all the season to carry the team in her back, all of them were a bunch of talentless hacks and they ruined it at the last minute by committing a fault on that stupid Lynn on the area. Her teammates practically throw away all her hardwork and put a nice bow on the trophy and offered to Royal wood yean on a gold plate.
Her frustration and anger clouded her mind, she could hear her uncle already laughing at her and chewing her for failing.
In a fit of desperation she went and tried to kick that stupid brunette on her back, but she miscalculated and her kick connected to the back of the head.
Everything felt like the world was on slow motion and passed so fast like a blur.
Amanda went from losing a match to her teammates calling her out, her uncle driving her home and chewing her for not winning and thus not honoring father with the triumph.
But worse was when her cousin came home, apparently that girl was Francisco's crush and she needed to fix things with her, somehow. "I freaking hate my life right now" she said as she laid down on her bed, and let a sigh of defeat.
The trainer didn't expelled her from the team but she is no longer the captain, had to help with all the training equipment and will not be in the next 4 games on the next season.
Life certainly sucks.
