You were exhausted. You had been training for both Utah and the USWNT and you had just qualified for the winter olympics.
Soccer and Snowboarding was your life, it had been this way since you were younger. However as you got older things became more complicated. You ex girlfriend told that you were too consumed with you career and that you never wanted a relationship you just wanted somebody to keep you warm at night.
When you were called up to the national team you decided you put your snowboarding career in the passenger seat. You still snowboarded weekly and had intended on telling the team when you were training for Sochi but you had gotten injured and couldn't take part in qualifying. Now here you were weeks from leaving for PyeongChang. It had been a miracle that your team, both league and national, hadn't found out yet.
You had media for the national team and you knew that the olympics would get brought up. You had tried to called Christen to tell her before she found out on the news but she wasn't picking up.
Sitting across you was a journalist from ESPN. You look behind the camera and see Christen and Kelley watching you, if only she would have arrived 10 minutes earlier. This was going to be a train-wreck and there was nothing you could do to stop it.
"First all I want to say congratulations" the interview said.
You look at Christen and you can tell that she is trying to think of reasons why someone would congratulate you.
"Thank you" you reply
"What is it like, to be a multi sport olympic? The only person to be a soccer player and snowboarder on team USA. How do you do it?"
"Well it takes a lot of discipline and you have to make some sacrifices. For the past couple of months I have either been training with the royals, the national team or at the olympic resort" You explain.
When you look up Christen is gone.
Th rest of the interview goes by painfully slow. You cannot remember the answers you give the interviewer, all you can think about is Christen.
You stand up thanking the interviewer and go straight to Kelley.
"You are a professional snowboarder, you are so going to teach me"
"Yeah sure Kelley, whatever. Where did she go?" You roll your eyes as Kelley shrugs her shoulders.
As you leave you see the rest of your national team mates, they are all asking you different questions. Some are curious, some are confused and some are mad but they didn't matter.
"I will answer all of your questions but I need to find Christen" you look at Tobin "Where is she?"
Tobin holds up her keycard.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you" You say grateful for her co-operation.
You run up to Tobin's room and by the time you get there you feel like your lungs are going to explode, taking the stairs was a bad idea.
You are about to knock when Christen opens the door. You both stand there in silence waiting for the other one to speak.
"Come in " Christen tells you.
You sit on the bed trying to get your breath back. Christen leans against the tv unit watching you.
"Are you mad at me?" You ask giving her your best puppy dog eyes.
She shakes her.
"I'm not mad. We have only been dating a year, clearly this" she says gesturing to you the both of you "isn't that serious to you"
