Sage's POV

Today the team has their final serious training before they play Denmark, but before that Mom and Christen needed to talk to me in our room about something that seemed serious.

"Sage do you understand how trades in the NWSL work?" Mom asked breaking the silence.

"Not really."

"Well after last season the Federation players, which include me and Christen, are allowed to request places they want to play and see if the two clubs can come to a trade agreement."

"Okay?"

"Sage we've both been traded."

"To the same team?" I say with hope in my voice.

"Sadly no. I've been traded to Sky Blue." Mom says

"Thats like an hour from the house."

"That it is Sage."

"What about you Chrissy?"

"Well I got traded to the Dash."

"No offense, but that doesn't make sense they have enough forwards."

"That they do, but I wont be playing with them." I look at her confused and motion for her to continue. "I told the league and Chicago I would only play for Chicago or a west coast team."

"So what does that mean for you?"

"Well hopefully I can get traded with someone." I didn't really know what else to say so we change the subject until we have to leave.

The team was now on the way to training and I was sitting with Mom on the bus talking with her, Alex, and Tobin. "Hey Sage this may sound bad, but how are you not more known from the songs you produce?" Mom asks.

"Well when I work with someone I tell them that if possible I don't want my identity known so we just put a pseudonym on the credits for producer and it changes every time. Only the artist and their team know my identity."

"Why don't you want to be known?" Tobin asks.

"I don't think I could handle it."

"You handle it when you're with us though."

"Well that's because all of you are the famous people so nobody really notices me." Alex was going to say something, but the bus had pulled up to training so we got off.

While the girls were changing in the locker room I went and sat my stuff down near the benches then head toward the locker room to grab a gatorade and one of those snack bar things. While I was going into the locker room I saw a weird looking man in the tunnel, but I didn't think anything of it. I assume he works here.

I was dead wrong.

After I got out of the locker room, with the drink in my hand, someone puts their hand over my mouth and drags me away from the door. Fucks sake not again. I look to see who has me and of course it's the dude I saw before. How did he get in here? I beg someone comes out of that locker room.

"Listen little girl you will remain quiet and not struggle. If you do I will kill you. Got it?" I nod and he starts to walk away, but the prick doesn't get far.

"HEY" Some of the girls yell after coming out the locker room and run in my direction.

"Let go of her" Ash says and has her fists clenched ready to swing if this asshole does anything. The rest of the team comes out of the locker room hearing the commotion in the hall way.

"Not happening you dumb dyke." OH HELL NO. Don't you be calling Ash that.

"Oh now I'm really gonna fuck you up." Ash says and swings for him and hits him with a left hook to the face causing him to let go of me and fall to the ground where some of the girls hold him down. I, on the other hand, couldn't move. Yep here comes the panic attack. My breathing gets heavier and speeds up, I can't move, and I can't talk. Tobin is the closest to me so she picks me up and runs me away from the area and heads to the bench where she sits down and holds me in her lap while trying to get me to calm down. It takes me a while to get my breathing back to normal and once I am calm a police officer, who I guess was called while I was with Tobin, comes over to talk to me while Tobin is still holding me.
