The Black Sheep

Part 14

June 8 2015

First game of the world cup for the US. They were making their way on the bus to the stadium when Kara was reflecting on how she had got to this position. Kara had the call the next morning of when the news about her Dad came out. They were having breakfast when Kara's phone had started to ring and Kelley came running in with her phones saying she needs to answer it. Kara had been esatic for the rest of the day and her and Kelly had decided to celebrate with pizza. She had texted her family about it. They were happy for her but the news about her Dad had still hanging around their family but at least there was light in the dark.

The US was against Australia. Kara was hoping for a win and the ones that played in the previous world cup was hoping to win as they came second last time because of penalties. During the warm up Kara's nerves had settled on the outside but thoughts were racing around her head. "How are you so calm right now?" asked Abby Wambach when they they were lining up for the shooting drill that was happening in front of the. " I am not calm, I am freaking out right now in my mind." Kara had replied quickly after she had turned round to reply. Abby chuckled at her, she had been happy to take Kara under wing and to not let Kelley to completely corrupt her.

The game had started as Kara was sitting on the bench for the game as she was grateful for. She was sitting next Kelley for the game which they had spent talking about random stuff but when Jill or any coaching staff came close to them or turned to them they were silent or was talking about the game. 

They were planning to prank Tobin and Christen was they were always together and being disturbingly cute with each other. It was the first thing she had noticed with them was how much they cared with each other. She had asked Kelley about it which Kelley had went wide eyed at. Kara had started to back track about but Kelley had burst out laughing. Which had made everyone look at them and made Kara uncomfortable.

Kelley then took her to somewhere where they could speak in private and not have anyone interrupt them. Kelley then went on about how they both had feelings for eachother but won't admit to each other and the only other person that had realized about was Ashlyn. It had been their mission to get them together. The prank they were planning was going to hopefully going to give them a nug in the right direction. They would relay it to Ash later as she was to far to tell her plan without the others noticing it, plus she was sat next to Tobin who they definitely don't want hear their prank.

At half time it was 1-1 with Megan getting the goal for the US. They went out hard in the second half trying to get the second goal. They were rewarded in the 61 minute withe Chris getting the goal. It was also cute how Tobin reacted to it. In the 78 minute Megan had scored another goal which put the score to 3-1 for the US. 

In the 84 minute Jill had pulled Kara out of Kara conversation with Kelley to go get warm up which made Kara go wide eye. Kelley just pulled her out of her seat to warm up with her despite not going on. Kara was going to be coming on for Megan in the 86 minute. When it was called Megan came gave her hug when she came off and whispered "Give them hell," in Kara's ear.

The game finished with the US winning the 3-1. Kara had brought into a crushing from Alex who was saying how proud she was. Kara laughed and replied "Thanks Mum," sarcastically which had earned her a punch in the shoulder and started to say about how she shouldn't be hit her child. They then went around shaking the opostions hands.

Later that night Kara had been replying to her family's messages. Ashlyn had asked where her family was and Kara simply replied saying they had business to do and don't have time to watch her games in person had promised to watch them on the TV. Ashlyn just smiled sadly and knew that it was all she was going to get from Kara. Kara's family had said that her Dad will be coming out about how to call her Caitlyn and how she as fully transitioning. This is how her family works now, drama is now a family friend.
