Goddess!

A/n-okay typed this up on my blackberry cuz I still don't have word on my laptop. My life has been pretty hectic which is no excuse for me but anyways…here's the next chapter.
By the time they got Gotte into the locker room to take a look at her knee, Danny was beyond the point of pissed and worried. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that Sinclair would have his daughter intentionally go and harm his daughter. Danny knew about her previous knee injuries what with softball and basketball and everything, so he knew this wasn't good. He had never seen her in this kind of pain before.
"Gotte, on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being 'barely there pain' and 10 being 'excruciating pain', what number is your knee in?" The school's athletic trainer asked.
"Her knee is so swollen it barely looks like she has a knee and she could hardly see, think, hear and breathe straight because of how much it hurts! How do YOU think her knee is!" Danny asked in frustration.
"Mr. Messer if you don't stop yelling and stop me from doing my job one more time, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." Danny nodded. "Again Gotte, what number of pain is your knee in right now?"
"100! It hurts SO much! Danny! Please make the pain go away! PLEASE!" She said frantically with tears streaming down her face.
As the trainer is thinking everything over in her head on what it could possibly be, out on the field, Alana Sinclair finds this moment to be one of the greatest things to happen. When they resumed play, Alana had to be out of the game for five minutes without some1 replacing her, which made the coach, team AND ENTIRE school pissed at her.
"I don't get what you're all mad at. Their best player is out for probably the rest of the game. This is something good!" Alana said happily.
"You just don't get it do you?" The coach said to her. "You may have taken out their best player, but don't even think that after the five minutes is up that you're going back onto that field right away. Not only did you really injure another player, you disobeyed a direct order from your coach! You better take this entire half to think about your actions because in the second half is when you'll be going back in!"
"Come on! You can't do that to me! I'm one of the team captains and the best one on the team!" she yelled back.
"I can and I will if you keep up this attitude!" her coach said back in reply.
"Whatever." Alana said with attitude and a shrug of her shoulders.
Back in the room where Gotte, Danny and the trainer were, the trainer started to explain what could have possibly happened to Gotte's knee. They could hope for the best but in the end, it didn't look like the best was going to be working out. The best being that she just sprained it and the pain will go away in a few weeks but again, that could be the best but all three people knew that it wasn't. And considering of how swollen is and how quickly it actually got swollen all three of them know it will be something bad.
"So what's the conclusion on her knee?" Danny said quietly. The trainer, with Danny's approval, gave Gotte some pain medication which made her a little sleepy so she was half knocked out and every now and then you could hear sniffles coming from the young girl.
"Mr. Messer, it looks to be her ACL. Now its sounds like it isn't not that big of a deal but it really is, especially for someone like Gotte who plays sports all year round. The ACL in the knee is one of the four major ligaments in the knee. But without having an MRI on her knee, I can't tell you if she strained it or tore it. If it is a strain it can sometimes be fixed through physical therapy and muscle strengthening, but if it is a tear it will most likely require surgery. (A/N- I'm getting all of this stuff about the ACL off Google but there is so much more for me say about it but I feel it will take away from the story so if you wanna know more about it, feel free to check it on Google.) The best thing for Gotte and her knee right now is if we get her to the hospital and get an MRI on it right away."
Danny looked back and forth between the trainer and Gotte until he finally nodded his head. After that, he turned towards Gotte and tried to get her to focus on him for a little while. "Gotte, sweetie?" He asked trying to get her to focus; once she finally did he started talking again. "We're gonna be taking you to the hospital to have an MRI on your knee, alright?" he said softly.
"Danny I know I'm hurt and most likely not going back in the game but I wanna stay till it's over. I'm not leaving my team till I know that they have won the game." Gotte replied back.
"Gotte it would be best if we got your knee checked out as soon as possible."
"My knee is to swollen for me to even bend it, not that I would right now or anything but I'm not leaving my team. I may not be able to play but I'm not letting them down and leaving. I wanna stay."
Danny looked at the trainer, silently asking her if it would be okay if she stays to watch the rest of the game.
"You can stay as long as you promise to get to the hospital for the MRI as soon as the game is over." Danny and Gotte both nodded. As Danny and the trainer carefully maneuvered to get a leg immobilizer on her knee without causing her too much pain, Gotte was thinking on how she wasn't gonna let her knee stop her from having her team but Corpus Christi and getting back at Alana and her father for good. They get it on her with Gotte only cringing as they tried to tighten it around the swollen area. The finally got it on and gave her crutches to use. With Danny and the trainer on both sides of her to help her, all three of them walked slowly and carefully back to the entrance of the field.
"TIME-OUT!" St. Gregory's coach yelled to the officials. They heard her and blew their whistle to stop the clock and the play. Both teams went into their huddles and their coaches started talking to them.
"You girls need to get your act together! Yes we know Gotte's not here but that doesn't mean stop playing with all you've got. She wouldn't want you to be playing like this. Now get your act together or-" she was stopped there because all of a sudden all of the fans from St. Gregory's started cheering loudly. Now, you can imagine it would be weird and confusing to the players because they were in a timeout but when they looked over to where they were cheering too, they could see that Gotte was walking slowly and patiently out onto the field towards where the team is huddled up. The team started in on the cheering too.
"Coach, don't ask me to leave yet, because I won't. I'm part of this team and I'm staying until you guys win and beat them good." She said confidently.
"Gotte I can't force you to leave, but if it's okay with Mr. Messer then it's okay with me." He nodded. "And if it's okay with your team then it is more defiantly okay with me." The team all clapped and cheered loudly. "I'll take that as a yes they want you here."
"I just wanna say something really quickly and then you can go back to what you were saying to them before." Gotte cleared her throat before she started talking again. "Guys, we all know that I'm not gonna be back in, but don't stop playing the game that we all love so much just because I'm not here. We shouldn't be down 2-1 right now. With me NOT being here should give you guys more of a reason to wanna beat them. I know you're all waiting for me to say that it's alright if you go and get Alana back for what she did for me but we all know that's not right and you'll just get suspended. But without taking her out, beat her right now, right here on this field. That will hurt her more than any physical pain. Go out there and win this game!" they all cheered. The coach had nothing left to say and by the time she was done talking, the players were being called back onto the field and the coach, Gotte, Danny, trainer and whoever else was out of the game back walked back over to the sidelines to watch the rest of the game.
