" We don't need you in the team we already have more than enough players, and they are honestly much better than you. I wont be calling you up in the foreseeable future, goodluck with your career." Said the USMNT coach B.J Callaghan right before he hung up.
As I hear those words I struggle to keep the tears in check, because I worked so damned hard all for it to be thrown back into my face. I calm myself down to be presentable so that my "mother" Alex Morgan and her teammates don't suspect a thing. You see she and her teammates basicly adopted me after my parents were killed in a car crash years ago. As I am calming down I get the dreaded feeling of failure, I really don't want to teel them about the caal but I guess I have to do it.
As I am going down the stairs I hear Kelly ask "How was the call ? Do we have a new US teammate in the house ?" After she ask that I said " He said that they dont need another player in the team and that I dont stand a chance to be in the team for the forseeable future." After I said that they were in shock because they coached me since the beginning.

"WHAT?!!?!?!?!?" I hear them all shout in shock, I can't keep the waterworks in check and Alex,Megan,Kelley and Mal all engulf me in a huge hug. It seemed like that for hours I calmed down and some of them were crying aswell. Megan was the most upset just behind mama Alex. "Why would he deny you the chance of representing your country, you worked so hard for it !!!!!" Megan shouted through her own tears. After the shocking truth I fell asleep on my bed after getting cuddles from the entire team. The next day I woke up and wished that I dint have to go to training .
The following day I woke up as always, but not with that spring in my step. Going through my morning routine today was hell, well more hell than usual. Alex and the team literally drag me out of the house. The drive was silent and full of anger and sadness. Sadness for me and anger towards the national coach.
At training there was the faces of nervousness for the news and I shot that down with the news that I did not make the team everyone was shocked even the coaching team they wanted to know why but I shot that down real quick. After training one of the coaches had an idea and talked with me in the locker room.
"Hey I have an idea." He said after I responded with what is his idea he asked me where I was born and I said in Frankfurt, Germany. He came up with the idea to try and contact the german national team coach. Everyone in the locker room told me to do itand I replied with "I will think about it". While I waited for the girls I thought will it be better to join my birth country's national team.
When the girls came they instantly knew that I was deep thought and they knew to not question me on that moment. After dinner I got asked by Megan what was on my mind and I told them about my predicament and they understood although Megan was a little shocked, but when we talked later right before we went to bed she understood and said she would support me with this decision and then it was a very peacefull sleep.
