Your POV:

After the game, me and Kelley got told to go to the press conference. 

We sat at the table with our coach and waited for it to start.

"Welcome to the Chicago Red Stars vs. Sky Blue FC post game conference. We will be starting with the away team. We are joined by head coach of Sky Blue Jim Gabarra. Defender Kelley O'Hara and Forward Y/N L/N." The lady said. "We will now begin."

"Y/N today was your first start for Sky Blue and you had 2 crucial goals, one being the game winner. How did that all come into play?"

I looked at Kelley. "Honestly it was a team effort." I looked back at him. "They were able to earn that corner. I just happened to be in the right spot and was able to put in the back of the net." I shrugged.

"Kelley, yet another big game for you. This time you started up top. Having played in all the positions on the field where are you most comfortable?"

She laughed. "I started as a forward, but having played as a defender for a few years and starting as a midfielder in the 2015 world cup I've grown to be comfortable everywhere. Wherever I am on the field, I'm gonna try to impact the team in a positive way."

"Even if you're on the bench?" I joked.

"Especially." She laughed. "I'll be the cheerleader." She started dancing a little.

"Coach, you got the win today after a tough fight from both sides. How are you feeling now that you're in that your team is in 5th place?"

"Great. Going into this match today we knew it was gonna be tough, but we believed in each other and we able to get the win."

"Kelley and Y/N can answer this next one." The person started. "With the World Cup in 2 years, and some huge games for the national team, how are you both preparing to make that world cup roster?"

"Uh just doing what we normally do." Kelley started. "Playing great soccer and just showing that we are important to the team and deserve that spot."

I nodded. "And making sure to stay healthy. Qualifying is a year away and we want to remain healthy and prove that we can help get a 4th star." I smiled.

We finished up the conference and left. One the way out me and Kelley ran into Julie, Christen and Lori.

"Good game." Christen said hugging Kelley. 

"Aw Stanford." Julie said. We all laughed. "So Y/N I saw you talking to Jake." Julie nudged me.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"And?"

"He gave me his number." I added.

"You should go out with him." Christen said. "He seems like a nice guy and he's really into you."

"No. I wanna focus on this right now. I'm finally getting my career back on track." I grabbed my bag and started to walk towards the bus.

"Oh by the way." Kelley said. "Ally was here." I froze and looked at her. "She was gonna talk to you, but she saw you were with Jake."

"Is she still here?" I asked.

"I don't know." She said. "Sorry."

I ran out of the door and saw her getting into a car. "ALLY!" I ran to her. She looked. "ALLY PLEASE WAIT!" 

"Hey! Y/N." Someone yelled. I looked at one of my teammates who was with some fans. "They wanted to meet you."

I looked back at Ally. "Sure." I said. I signed autographs as fast as I could, and took pictures. 

When I finally looked up she was gone. 

I sat down in the parking lot. "She was so close." I said.

Kelley and Julie walked over and sat next to me. "Maybe its a sign." Julie said softly. "That it's time to move on from her."

I looked at the sky. "Maybe."
