Part Two: Chapter Eighteen- The Good and The Bad

June's POV

It's happening. We just beat Germany 2-0. Now we're playing in the World Cup Final. I walk off the pitch clapping and cheering. I am so excited. This is going to be awesome. We can win. We can bring the glory back to the US. I'm so excited. I'm hoping that everyone will come to watch.

We shake hands with everyone before we head back to the locker rooms. I sit down and toss my boots in my bag before pulling on my Nike trainers. I grab my phone which I see blowing up with messages from my friends and family.

From: Mãe

Congrats June! Great game!

From: Javier

AHHH SO PROUD OF YOU BABY SIS

From: Ma

Great game baby! Can't wait to see you play in the final!

From: Dad

Great job! Wonderful saves today I'm so proud of you

From: Ana

Yay! Can't wait to see you play in the final! Congrats!

"JUNE!" Alex yells from across the room

"YO!"

"They want you for an interview up in the press room!"

"Oh! Okay," I smile getting up. I grab my phone and pop it in my pocket before I head up to the press room. I'm guided to sit in between Abby and Jill. I smile and hug them both before I take my seat.

I'm fine with the fact that I'm doing this press conference, but I really just wanna text Neymar and see if he's changed his mind about coming to Canada. I know he said he didn't want to, but maybe he will since this is the final. It's one of the most important games of my life. I hope he will be there to support me at it. Every other lady on the team will have their significant other in the stands to watch them play.

"So I'd like to start by saying congrats to June Santos, who was named player of the match."

"Oh wow thank you so much!" I grin as I'm presented with a glass trophy.

Jill, Abby, and I discuss went good and bad for us. I say everything I need to. I really just want to go talk to Neymar. I haven't talked to him in such a long time. I miss him. I want my husband here. I think it'd be good for both us.

Once it's over, we all head to the locker rooms. I sit down in front of my locker and start changing out of my sweaty uniform. I toss it into my bag. I change into my USA pull over and track suit pants. I listen to Jill talking, and I feel more and more confident in our ability to win the World Cup.

"Okay. ladies, let's head to hotel. We have a plane to Vancouver early in the morning."

"You gunna talk to Neymar?" Alex asks.

"Yeah. I'd really like him here. Hopefully he'll change his mind and come to this game at least."

"Most important game of your career thus far," Hope throws her arm around me.

"I agree. I'll talk to him after I get all my stuff packed up," I nod.

"Good idea."

I head down to the lobby with a cup of hot tea. I'm in sweats and a hoodie. I've been talking with Ma, Dad, Ana, Javi, Mae, Pai, and Rafa while packing. I haven't heard a word from Neymar. I really want to talk to him, but away from my teammates. I sit down in a large comfy chair and curl up. I sigh and dial his number, praying he answers.
