Sage Wilder, a talented and skillful player who wants to live out her dreams and play with the US Womens National Team. Along the way meets a certain brunette with blue eyes but will she be happy? Could someone else be in the way?
Not good at descr...
"Sagey, I'm so proud of you!" Carli yells, as she hugs me. This feel so right, to be here. I hug her back. After we cheer and have our time to celebrate, we change. We head back out and greet fans. We sign things. I saw a couple of my fans. They were wearing, either my Houston Dash Jersey or Washington spirit. I take pictures with fans and sign shirts. This is incredible. After that, we head back. Grab our bags and head to our bus. I sit next to Tobin, with Alex and Allie behind us. "Hey we have an off day tomorrow after recovery, just so you know" Tobin tells me. I remember, I'll be taking Alex tomorrow on a date.
"Thanks for letting me know Tobs, hey you did good today" I tell her. She's always been a great player. "You always make defenders look silly" I tell her laughing.
"It was a good game" she tells me laughing. My phone gives me a notification from Twitter. My sister.
MykaylaWilder2 @sageWilder⅖ your always #1 on the field and in my heart Big sis
And she has a picture of my bicycle kick attached. I retweet it and say
@Mykaylawilder2 Love you M-kay! And good luck in States!
I have to make it seem like I'm not going to see her. I haven't seen her in a year.
"That's your sister Sage?!" I hear from behind me. I look at Allie, it came from her.
"Yeah that's my baby sis" I tell her. She holds her phone up and I see a recap of my sisters game from a week ago.
"She's so good!" She tells me. I nod smiling. My sister is a good goalkeeper. She's hoping to get called up to the U-18s. Once we get to the hotel, we all decide to go out to dinner to celebrate our win. We all dress up nicely. Me being a Tom boy, I wore a white dress shirt and a black blazer with black dress pants. Don't judge.

Dress nicely ^
I sit next to Alex and Carli at the table of the restaurant.
"You always dress up nicely Carli" I tell her complimenting her. She just chuckles.
"You're trending right now in Sports Media" Carli tells me. She's looking through her menu.
"I've noticed, they are even mentioning 2015. When I was orginally called up. People are saying that I'm finally playing the best soccer of my career" I tell her back. We order and get our drinks. We all talk about today's game. They give us our food. We all eat and pay for our foods. We head back to the hotel.
"Hey Alex!" I yell for her, she's far ahead of me. She stops and looks back.
"Go out with me tomorrow!?" I ask her. Everyone in the hall looks at me and then looks at Alex for her answer.
"Yes!" She shouts back and she smiles. Kelly and I walk into our rooms. We lay in our beds and I turn the TV on. Its already on Fox Sports.
"Wilder is the new player of the US and she's a beast on the field. She is reigning, and people are requesting for her jerseys. They want this girl's number and name behind there backs. Where has this talent been all these years Dave?"
"What we know about Sage Wilder so far, is that she's been playing in the NWSL for quite some time now. She's a 2 year player with the most goals in the NWSL. She was born in New Jersey and she's a Stanford Graduate. She's played in the U.S youth teams. She was on Jill's original Roster for the 2015 World cup, but she tore her ACL at the last minute. "
"Tragic, well we can see why she's been playing her best. She's making up for that world cup. I'm sure we'll see her in the 2019 World Cup. I'm excited to see more of her honestly" - commentators
They talked about me a while and then eventually started talking about Sam Kerr. She's going to beat my title in the NWSL. She's in the lead with 2 goals ahead of me.
"Hey is that what happened?" Kelly asks me. I'm confused on what her question is about.
"You tore your ACL?" She asks me, now getting up and looking straight at me with a frown.
"Yeah Kelly, I did. Right. Before the first game" I told her. Looking back at the one thing that not only tore my ACL but my heart. She nods in sadness and doesn't say anything after that. It's heartbreaking when you were prepared to play in your First world cup, and then for something to happen and you cant play.
I get a text message. I grab my phone.
Unknown number: I watched your first game. You did amazing. I'm sorry for trying to hold you back, your finally doing what you always wanted. -Me: I'm sorry who's this? Unknown number: Vanessa -Me: Oh, thanks for watching my game? Vanessa: I'll be at your next game -Me: why? Vanessa: because I want to support you.
I leave her on read. Vanessa is my Ex- girlfriend. We broke up due to Soccer. She said I never gave her time. I broke up with her because soccer meant so much more and I didn't think she could ever understand the love I had for the sport. I have something with Alex that feels right, because she understands.
"Hey Kelly, we should visit Stanford sometime" I tell her. She looks up smiling.
"Dude we totally should!" She tells me.
Kelly and I stay inside while some girls went out. We chilled in our room and had a Harry Potter marathon on ABC Family. Tomorrow's recovery, and I can't wait.
