I grab my trainings jersey and put it on bevor I get up, we have a small talk with our coach before heading into the hall. 

Some fans, that are already here, cheer as we get onto the ice, driving our first rounds to get warm. 

I notice some members of the germans national women's soccer team sitting there, we (the german national women's ice hockey team) did watch them play against France last week and so decided to come to watch us play today too. 

There are Sara Doorsoun with her girlfriend, Sydney Lohmann, Lina Magull and in between them there's my girlfriend, the wonderful (and beautiful) Laura Freigang. 

I see her smiling and waving at me, with the big hockey helmet on its kind of hard for her to see the smile I return, so I double tap my fist against my chest, where my heart is supposed to be and then point at her. 

“Someones in love.” Anne teases, skating past me, followed by some of our team members. 

“They’ve been together for almost two years now, so tell us something we don't already know.” Jule says, I nod but keep looking over at my girlfriend. 

Even without hearing what they're talking, I know that they are teasing her about my action and the slight blush on her face, while I’m proud that I have that affect on her.

We do our warm up and then leave the field, having our final talk before the game and putting on our jerseys. 

Our coach tells us some more things about the Canadian team before giving us his normal motivation talk. 

We go onto the field together with the other team and the referees, when they start singing the Canadian national anthem I sport some more members of the germans national soccer team. And I notice Laura is wearing my red and black jersey from last season. 

When they start playing the German national anthem, almost the whole stadium is singing along and its honestly the best feeling in the world. 

As our Capitan, Julia shakes hands with one of the Canadian players before coming over to us, we make a circle like we always do and she speaks up. 

“I’m proud of you girls and every single one of you has worked heard to get here and deserves it to be here today, so lets show this Canadians who we are.” 

She looks at every single one of us. 

“Okay! One two three....” 

“Germany!” we scream together before drifting away from each other and skating to our positions. 

We’re clearly dominating the game and when there only nine minutes left we already scored five goals. 

I get the puck from one of the canadian players and manage to get past her but another Canadian player gets into my way so I pass the puck to Julia, the player behind me drifts away to get in between us but I slow down so right before another player can get near her, Julia passes the puck back to me. 

I use my speed to get past two of the canadian players but before I can get any further I see another player coming at me at full speed. 

Until the last second I think she will brake, and stop next to me but she doesn't. 

She crashes into me, I don't know if she did it on purpose but her stick goes between my skates, I drip over it and crash into the wall, not at my full speed but still fast. 

I close my eyes for a second and when I open them again I’m laying on the ice. 

Someone kneels next to me and I hear someone else cursing loud. 

“Take a breath!” Julia demands and I realize its her next to me. 

I try to take a breath but I feel a stabbing pain in my chest, like someone is pressing a knife into my lung from inside. 

“Fuck.” I curse, turning onto my back.

“Theresa, go get help.” she orders and I take another breath but it's causing more pain in my chest. 

“Okay, I’m taking off your helmet now.” Julia says and I let her do it. 

I see another person hovering over me and realize its on of the team medics. 

“We need to get her off the ice.” he says to someone else, then he looks down at me. 

“Do you think you can get off yourself, if we help you?” he adds. 

“I can keep playing.” I say and try to push my self up, but Julia holds me down. 

“First of all, no you don't and second, that wasn't my question, so yes or no to it?” 

“Yes.” I say, he and Julia, go on my sides, each of them take one of my arms to pull me up and help me to get off the ice. 

“Don't worry, everything’s gonna be fine.” Julia says and I don't know if she's saying to calm me down or herself.

As we exit the ice, someone else takes her place and they take me into the small medical room next to the locker room. 

They lay down at a stretcher and help me take off my jersey, chest protector and skates. 

Someone comes to take my blood pressure, puls and checks if I have any visible injuries. 

“I know that you're in pain but can you tell me where exactly it hurts?” the doctor asks. 

“My chest.” I say, pressing my hand at the place where I first felt the pain. 

“Is it okay if we pull up your shirt, to get a closer look?” he asks and I nod. 

A female member of the medic team steps closer and pushes my shirt up, so they can take a look at my ribs. 

“Oh shit.” she says, sharing a worried look with the doctor. 

“What?” I look down and see a big blue and purple bruise over the left side of my ribs. 

“You feel on your stick and I’m pretty sure you broke some of your ribs but we need to get you into hospital for a CT and a checkup to make sure that its nothing else.” 

“Can I stay until the game is finished.” I ask, again they share a look and then talk about something with internal bleedings and medic stuff I don't understand before giving the okay. 

“The game should be finished already, so it's okay. Take this, it should reduce the pain.” he says, handing me a open water bottle with a straw and some painkillers. 

A couple of minutes later, I hear my team come into the looker room. I can't really hear what they are talking about but I’m pretty sure someone said my name. 

“Come with me.” I hear Julia’s voice, before the door opens and I see her standing in the doorway. 

“How is she?” she asks our team doctor, instead of talking to me. 

“Broken ribs I guess, but she's gonna be fine.” he answers calm. 

“Julia, make way for someone more important.” I hear Anne saying but I don't see her, because Julia is still blocking the door. 

Julia rolls her eyes but steps to the side, giving me a free view at the person behind her. 

A person with a really worried look in there normally so joyful and excited eyes. 

My person. 

My girlfriend. 

Laura. 

“Hey.” I say and she slowly comes closer. 

“Hi.” she responses and I reach my hand out for her. 

My body and I think my mind too, relaxes a little bit as I feel the warmth of her skin underneath my touch. 

She sits down next to me and by the way she avoids looking at me, I know that she isn't mad, rather scared. 

I look at Julia and then at the door, but she gets what I mean and leaves, the medic team following her. 

“You broke our promise.” Laura says, looking at the ice pack someone placed over my rips. 

“I would never, I promise its nothing too serious.” I say and remember the day we made this promise. 

We were a couple for like four months and I broke my wrist during a game, I didn't feel any pain but still had to take a brake for at least six weeks in order to let it heal. 

Laura was there, at the game and in that night, while we were laying in bed together she made me promise that I would never get a serious injury because she said she wouldn't be able to visit me in hospital, she couldn't take that. 

And I know that it was stupid because none of us can impact what injury I’m gonna get in the future but I did it because I love her. 

“Come here.” I wrap an arm around her and softly pull her down, our foreheads are touching and I can feel her breath against my face. 

“Seriously I’m fine, so don't worry, let us celebrate that we both won a game this week.” I say and finally I see her smile. 

“I’m really proud of you.” she says. 

She leans in and softly kisses me, letting me feel that she really means those words. 

We hear the sound of a camera flashing and pull apart, Lina Magull, Sydney Lohmann and Julia are standing in the doorway. Syd holding Lauras Olympus AF1 Camera. 

“You two are so cute together.” Lina says, smiling widely. 

“Oh and congrats that you won.” Syd adds, making us laugh.
