Our Iceland game was tomorrow. I am so nervous! But it's fine if we don't win, at least we made it this far.

"Soooooo, Amber. Are you ready for tomorrow?" Charlie sits next to me.

"Fuck no! What if we don't fucking win? What if we fucking lose? What if I don't do good? What if I get hurt! Damn it!" I throw myself on my bed. Oh and I cuss when I'm nervous.

"Hey! Chill out, don't worry about it. We'll do good! I promise." Charlie smiles.

"Ok. I'll stop worrying about it." I sigh.

"Good girl." He smirks. "Now, let's go to sleep, we have a game tomorrow." He lays next to me.

Next day

I wake up and get ready for our game.

"Are you nervous?" Connie asks.

"Fuck yeah!" I reply.

"So am I. Let's just okay our best!" Connie says trying to make me feel better.

"Yeah! You're right! I reply.

We get to our game.

"Coach! I woke up...and the pain was gone." Adam rotates his stick.

"Adam, I'm sorry, we already have a full roster." Coach reply's.

We turn to Russ and see that he's taking off his jersey but Charlie stops him.

"He can have my spot." Charlie walks up to Adam and Coach Bombay. "It's what I can do for the team. Let me do it." Charlie smiles.

"Charlie, I need you on the bench, coaching right there with me." Coach Bombay gives Charlie his clipboard.

We all cheer.

We start to walk out. I inhale and exhale. My heart was beating fast. It felt like it was gonna come out of my chest. I start shaking a bit. I felt a warm hand go on mine. "It's gonna be okay, trust me." Adam smiles. I look up at him, smiling.

They open the gate thingy and we skate out. Everyone is cheering and clapping.

"Heads high! Stand tall! Fly straight! U.S.A.!"

"All the way!!"

We all cheer. Averman starts the face off and gets knocked down. Iceland gets the puck and starts skating to score. I try to get the puck but I get knocked down. "Damn it." I say under my breath. Iceland tries scoring but Goldberg saves it. Iceland gets the puck again, Iceland knocks down Goldberg, and scores.

"Line change!" Coach yells. "Guy, Jesse, Russ. You ready? Get out there."

The Iceland team goes for Russ. They push him Into the boards. Russ gets up so I pass the puck to him. He tried to do his knucklepuck but fails. Iceland still leads 1-0.

Another person scores in Iceland.

2-0

"Banks, you're on. Hey, be careful out there." Adam jumps onto the ice.
