USWNT ONE SHOOTS

Body Issues And Life Saving - Emily Sonnett

Y/n's POV
Being a part of the USWNT is many's dreams. And it was mine too but now I'm standing here.

I have been a part of the team for almost a year now. I'm not the youngest but the newest. They really changed my life to the better. I got to reunite with my sister that I hadn't seen since I was 13 which was 11 years ago at the time now it would have been 12. I got to meet someone. Which is my girlfriend of 10 months now.

Many would say my life is pretty much perfect but it isn't. I have so many problems everyday. I'm scared of what people think about me. I'm scared that people won't like me. I'm scared that everyone will just get up and leave if a make an mistake. I'm basically scared of everything but I'm to shy do do anything about it

And today is one of those days you just want to lay in bed and hide from the world but of course I can't do that because I'm one at camp and two we are going to the got damn beach all day. And for someone that hates her body this isn't good. I ha e probably putting the damn jersey on in the locker room even tho I know no one is looking at me and I have my back their direction

So when we clime on the bus is just sit down in my normal seat and look out the window as my best friend and girlfriend Emily sit down next to me. Me clearly being in a bad mode she let me be as the streets of California pass by outside the window

30 minutes later we come to a stop and it's time to get off. I take my time and I'm last of the bus probably a minute after the person who as before me

Then I slowly make my way over to where we seem to be putting our stuff and I put down my towel on the sand before putting my sunglasses on and starting to read my book as everyone else play in the water like kids.

Well except for Becky, Carli and Alyssa who is either reading like me or doing some kid aid puzzle in a paper

It has probably been two hours when people come walking up to us again. "Aren't you warm" Sam say looking at me who is laying in jeans and a hoodie

"Nah" I answer going back to book which is actually pretty interesting

Soon it's time to eat so we make our way to the restaurant a few hundred meters away from our little hang out to grab some lunch.

Me not wanting to go back to the beach eat as slow as I can with out looking to suspicious. When I get back to the beach everyone is on there way into the water. Even the three who wasn't before

It probably pass 15 minutes before I feel someone sitting down next to me so I look up to find my girlfriend. "Hi" I say putting down the book

"Why don't you get in the water" She ask my a soft voice she only use when it's the two of us

"I don't really feel like it" I say bitting the inside of my cheek so she wouldn't see that it was a straight up lie

"You can't lie to me babe" I look down ashamed that I can tell her the truth. "Hey you can't tell me I won't judge you"

"It's just...my body. It feels like everyone is going to judge me. The only once who I've seen me with out a shirt is you and Kelley"

"Why have Kelley seen you" She ask looking at me

"She's my sister you dumb ass"

"I always forget that shit. But no one will judge you. Do you remember the first time I saw you with out a shirt" I nod clearly remembering the first time

"You tried to hide it but I wouldn't let you and did I judge you" This time I shake my head. "And after that you were more confident to not hide yourself. It's going to be the same here. No one is going to judge you and you just have to do it one time and then it will be easier the next time"

"When did you get so smart" I say with a small smile

"I don't know" She answer giving me a kiss. "I'm not telling you to do anything you don't want to do. But at least consider getting in. Just for a few minutes at least"

"I will. Now get back there" I say pushing her in the direction of the water before laying down and thinking

Could it be so bad. But there is more people then just the team. Surly someone is going to judge.

I lay there just looking at the team playing around but then my eyes drift to the left and I'm about to look back at the team when I see something unusual. Pretty far out in the water is a kid. I look around but I can't find someone that seem to be a mother or farther. I then look back at the kid who now seem to be getting a hard time so with out thinking an extra time I throw out phone out of my pocket and quickly pull the hoodie over my head before sprinting into the water

My sudden movement get the team but also more people to look at what I'm doing. I run into the water getting my jeans wet before diving into the ocean swimming as fast as I can to reach the kid who I now see is a boy probably around 5

When I get to him I pull him up with one arm so he can breath properly as I try to keep floating with my legs and the other arm. When he seem to have breath for a few seconds he start to cry which is a good sign. So I try to swim back as fast as possible with out hurting any one of us

When I get to the sand a life guard is there with a women who I assume is the mother. So I hand them the kid before laying down in the waters edge just staring at the sky trying to take in what just happened

I'm then pulled into a hug by Emily and soon more people join. When everyone finally pull away I realized I'm only wearing a sports bra and no shirt

I think Emily can see that panic in my eyes because she pull me into a hug again whispering. "No one is going to judge you. And especially not after that"

At this point there is a big crowed looking at be I just try to ignore it

"Damn you look like your carved from stone. Why haven't we seen that before" Pinoe then say which draws more attention to me

"You have better abs then Kelley" Ash the say

"Get your hand of my little sister and you don't need to rub it in my face" Kelley say stepping in and defending me

"Exactly step away. Those abs are mine" Sonnet say wrapping an arm around me

After today's events we decided to go back to the hotel a bit earlier. When I sit down on the bus Emily sneak an arm around me

"I told you they wouldn't judge even if they kinda did but no body said anything negative because there is nothing negative to say about your body. It's fucking perfect" She say giving me a kiss that I answer pulling her closer

But we soon have to pull away as Mal shout. "Someone's getting laid" And all eyes turn to us as I blush into her shoulder
