The Black Sheep

Part 26

29 May 2016

A lot as happened in between camps. The on the field season was going ok for Sky Blue but could be better, off the field its being hell to put it simply. Kelley slept in either Nikki's or Kara's bed, she didn't look at her phone and made Nikki or Kara to look at it first. When Kelley blocked Hopes number she then started to message and ring Kara constantly. 

Kara knew that Kelley had to see Hope at the next camp but Kelley did not want to talk about the possibility. Which has now made Kelley not speak a single word to Kara on their flight to camp in Colorado. 

Kelley was still silent when they met others at the airport to wait for the US soccer van. Luckily no one from the Seattle was there. When Kara and Kelley were visible Alex had immediately went to Kelley. 

They were the last one's to the hotel as they had to travel the furthest. Alex had emailed Jill to ask if Kelley to room with her, which surprisingly was given to them. Kara was rooming with Christen which was ok but today was Tobin's birthday. So when she got to her room her she knocked loudly and waited a minute to see if the door was going to be opened. 

 Chris opened her door and let her in, to her surprise Tobin wasn't in the room. 

"Where's Tobin?" Kara asked with a hint of surprise in her voice. 

"She is with Allie," to which she just nodded at. 

"I got Tobin a present, so that ok?" Chris looked over to Kara at the way she asked the question. Everyone knew that  the gifts that Kara got them were expensive, which made everyone try to tell her that she shouldn't get them such expensive gifts but she only got the best for the people in her life. 

"Can I see it?" at that a sheepish look went onto Kara's face. "It may be delivered to her apartment." Chris just simply raised her eyebrow which got an answer from who ever it is aimed at.  Kara simply pulled out her phone and showed her the product. The sigh that Kara heard made her immediately think she shouldn't of got it. "Do you realise  how hard it is to get it out of her clothes?" This made Kara laugh at the reaction. 

They had a meeting before dinner, it brought back the problems between Kelley and Hope. Hope was at her her spot at the back of the room and Kelley was at the front. The more people coming into the meeting the younger player's didn't know what was going on but the older ones realised what had happened again.  

Nothing happened that night expect for Tobin being bright red red for the rest of the night. 

2 June 2016                

It was the first game of the camp. It was a rematch of the world cup final. The US was hoping to tie the record for the best start to the year in the program.  Kelley and Hope had not talked at all that camp on their own as Alex was constantly around Kelley and if Hope came near them she would get the Alex Morgan glare. Kara hoped that Kelley and Hope wouldn't affect the game. 

Japan strikes first in the 14 minute. Hope wouldn't be able to get as it was curling and going to the top corner. It happened again in the 22 minute when Japan put a cross in and their captain was their to put it into the back of the net. Kara could hear Hope shout at Kelley and hoped that she wouldn't respond. 

It was the US that got the next chance when Mal was going down the line  and put a cross in which found Alex to put the score to 2-1.  Near the end of the half Japan nearly made it 3-1 but the US was saved but the crossbar. 

In the second half  Japan was given a red card which made them play with 10 people which gave the US as chance to get back into it. Kara was subbed of in the 61 minute for Lindsey. Tobin took a free kick outside of the box to which Alex got her head onto it, the game was now 2-2. 

The US got into the lead by a cross by Kelley to which Lindsey got her head onto.  Japan had the last say in the match as in injury time Japan made it 3-3. 

Hope was the first to leave the field, Kelley went after her which then made Alex go after her but was stopped by Tobin and was to deal with a a unhappy Alex but stayed with them. 

Kara waited a couple minutes before she went looking for them. The first place that Kara went was the locker room. Kara wished she knocked before she entered the room. 

There against a locker is a topless Kelley with hope in front her. Kara can only see one hand and does not want to know where the other one is. It was already burned into her mind and needed to end this quickly. She hit her hand against the door to make a bang. It had the intended effect and made Kelley and Hope break apart. 

Their eye's went wide when they realised what and who made the noise. 

Kara cleared her throat, "I bet your happy I'm not Alex." When she saw no movement from them she continued, "The team will be here soon so er get ready I guess." 

Alex was the first one in the room and instantly looked at Kelley and Hope but didn't say anything. 

5 July 2016

It had be a tough couple of day's as they had to travel to Cleveland. They were again playing Japan, Kara got the start once again. Things between Hope and Kelley was ok but Kara was ignoring them as the image was burned into her head and could not look them in the eye. 

 At the start of the game the US was having shot after shot on the Japan goal. The US final got their chance when Julie was on the back post when the ball was put into the box and put it into the net. The US didn't get any more chances in the first half. 

In the second half Alex was able on the cross from Dunn to put it into the net.

 The US won this time as the game was finished early due to the weather. 

When they got back to the hotel, they had a early dinner as they got free time in the evening but was spent inside. Kara was lying in bed on her phone. She heard the door open and was surprise when Mal came through with a bunch of books with Chris behind her. 

"I am not helping. Sorry not sorry." Kara was quick to say as she wanted to never do school work ever again. 

The room was quite except for the rain hitting the window. Then the lighting and thunder was starting again. Christen instantly looked at Mal, she didn't really like thunder but Chris instantly saw through Mal. 

Chris asked Mal if she wanted go to her room but Mal was already hugging Chris tight before she finished her question. 

Kara guessed the internet was right about Chris being a Mother figure to Mal. The Internet was always full of surprises.
