*based off bens injury against Juventus*
You had been watching his game on the tv so proud of him to be starting another game, and then the injury happened. At first it didn't look
Too bad and you thought he was gonna walk it off and come back on the pitch but he didn't. The game carried on before coming to an end.You got our ur phone to send him a text
"Hope your okay x" you sent
"6 months" he text back
*btw I know nobody knows how long bens going to be out for but just imagine 6 months for this story*
Your heart dropped when you read that. Knowing how hard he's been working and how hard it was for him when he wasn't called up for England and wasn't playing many games.
"It will be okay I love you ❤️" you responded not saying much as you will try and comfort him when he gets home.
He didn't respond
You lay in bed waiting for him to return.
Around 11pm you hear the front door open, you run down to see him and see if he needs any help
"Hey baby, how's it feeling" you asked sympathetically
"Not good" he said
"Do you want help up the stairs" you asked
"No" he replied bluntly
You went back into your room and back into bed on your phone, you knew it was gonna be in a shit mood but you wanted to try and help him.
A while later after using the bathroom he gets into bed next to you
You turn to face him, "you did well today Ben I'm really proud of you" you smiled
"Yea sure" he scoffed
"What do you mean yeah sure? I'm so proud of you" you said again in a soft voice
"I'm injured, and I'm out for 6 months who the hell would be proud of me" he said laying on his pack with his hands behind his head staring at the ceiling
" I know it's difficult Ben and you've done so well recently and it's not great for this to happen but you will get through it and you will come out on the other side so much more better, I know it's tricky baby" you say trying to comfort him the best you can, you lay a hand on his face.
He shakes it off.
"You don't get it, your not a footballer are you? Just stop trying to play good girlfriend, I did shit and you know it so stop" he said quite angrily
At this point you didn't want to say nothing more as you didn't want any arguments for him, not tonight anyways.
You turned to the other side
"Night Ben, let me know if you need anything in the night" you said before closing your eyes
He felt awful after that, all you was doing was trying to help him and he was so quick to snap at you that you had given up trying to help him
Everything got a bit too much for Ben, he felt his eyes beginning to fill with tears, one thing he hated doing in front of you was cry but you thought it was good as he's letting his emotions out.
You weren't asleep, you just lay on your side wondering what else to do to help him.
You heard little sniffs and deep breaths, so you turned to face Ben and see what's going on.
When you turned you saw a few tears coming down his cheek. You didn't know what to say because of his bad mood.
"Oh Ben" you said
He looked at you and gave a little smile
"I'm sorry for snapping at you""It's okay please don't cry your going to be okay" you said putting a hand on his face again which he gladly excepted this time
"Come here" you said moving back so he could lay his head on your chest
He did, you stroked the back of his head whilst he let out little cries
"It's going to be okay Ben I promise, you will get through this" you said kissing the top of his head
"It's just unfair babe I've worked so hard and it was paying off and now this" he mumbled into your neck
"I know baby but you will come out on the other said stronger, and you know that. And I'll be there with you every single step of the way if you want me to"
"God of course I want you to, I don't think I could get through it without you" he let out a little laugh "I'm sorry for snapping at you it just got a bit too much, and sorry for saying not to play good girlfriend, you are a good girlfriend. Too good to me actually" he pulled back to look at you
"You deserve it" you smiled at him
He leaned in to give you a kiss
"I love you so much" he said smiling at you
"I love you" you replied before you both drifted off into a deep sleep
