While Lawerence is in the air I ball roll her then dribble past her and sprint towards goal, but right before I get to the 18 yard box I see Alana Cook closing down on me.

I quickly shift the ball to my right foot then I swing my foot back and side foot the ball between Earps and the post putting us 1-0 up.

When the ball hits the back of the net I stop running then walk back up field to my position.

"Bitch." I say as I pass Katie Zelem then I continue back to my position while high fiving my teammates.

Once I'm onside the game resumes.

In the 34th minute we get a free kick deep in our own end so Christiane takes it.

I walk up the sideline while looking at the keeper then I subtly motion to Christiane to put the ball in front of me to which she acknowledges me so I start making my way towards the space as the ref blows her whistle.

When the whistle blows Christiane launches the ball ahead of me so I easily lose my mark then I run onto the ball as it bounces ahead of me.

Once I have the ball at my feet I look up and see a few girls streaming into the box so I cross the ball into the box and watch as Jordyn heads the ball past the keeper putting us 2-0 up.

"Too far." I mumble as the team celebrate then I walk back to my position.

My teammates celebrate Jordyn's goal fora minute then

The rest of the first half is a bit slow so when the ref blows her whistle for halftime it's a good reprieve from the boringness.

During halftime Casey tells us what we need to work on while we relax.

Once halftime is over we head back onto the pitch and get ready for PSG to kick off which happens moments later

Five minutes after the game restarts I earn a free kick on the edge of the area due to a foul by the Spanish PSG center back.

Once the foul is given I grab the ball then line up to take the free kick.

Some of the other girls come over to take the free kick, but I shoo them away.

Eventually the ref gets the wall in place so she backs up and blows her whistle.

The moment I hear the whistle I do my run up, put my foot through the ball, then watch as the ball rises over the wall then dips below the cross bar making the score 3-0.

When the ball hits the net I get swarmed by my teammates then we head upfield and get ready for the restart.

In the 62nd minute PSG have a goal kick so Mary punts it upfield, but it only goes as far as Jackie and Katie.

Right before the ball gets to them, Katie elbows my soulmate in the face.

"HEY." I shout then I charge at Katie.

When I get to Katie I shove her to the ground then I stand over her.

"The fuck do you think you're doing?" I ask. "She better be okay or I'll fucking ruin your career you dumb fucking cunt."

Moments later someone pushes me so I turn around then I'm punched in the face by Katie's girlfriend.

"You punch like a little kid Mary." I say as I look at my former teammate.

Moments later a bunch of people surround us then I get pulled away by Jackie.

"I'm fine Baby." Jackie says.

"She's lucky I don't break her fucking leg." I mumble as Katie calms Mary down.

A few seconds later Mary gets shown a red then I get shown a red.

"A RED?" I shout. "FOR WHAT FUCKING REASON?"

The referee and I get into a shouting match, but eventually my teammates pull me away.

"KIMORA GO TO THE LOCKER ROOM NOW." Casey shouts.

"FUCK OFF." I shout then I head to the locker room.

Once I'm off the field I take my jersey off then I continue on down the tunnel and head to the locker room.

When I get to the locker room I take the rest of my kit off then I head to the showers and clean myself.

Once I'm all clean and sweet smelling, I dry off then put on my street clothes.

After I finish dressing I sit in my locker until the game ends then I head to the press room.

Once in the press room I wait for the questions.

"Why would you do that to a former teammate?" Some lady asks.

"Excuse me for being pissed that the woman who forced herself on me hurt my soulmate." I say.

"Kissing you without permission isn't forcing herself on you." Some woman says.

"Oh Bitch." The Man United Woman's team press lady says as I look at the cunt who just spoke.

"Sweetheart my twin and I were raped for 942 nights straight so even the slightest unwanted touch triggers me and sends me into a panic. I can't even be touched from behind by anyone because if someone does then I will shut down. The only time I won't shut down is on the football pitch." I say then I bitterly chuckle. "I don't even know why I have to explain this to you."

"It's your job." The press bitch says.

"Fuck off." I say. "My job is to play football, not answer dumb ass questions."

You know what.

"Until you all stop perpetuating myself and other people of color as the problem in football I am no longer available for any media duties or requests." I say then I leave the press room and head to the locker room.

"Kimora what the fuck was that?" Casey says.

"Oh fuck off Casey." I say. "I protected my teammate just like I would if that happened to anyone else."

"So if that happened to Jessie you would've reacted the same way?"

"Yes." I say. "Are you that dumb that you think I reacted the way I did because it was my soulmate?"

"Well now I have to go make up an excuse for why you did that." Casey says.

"Protect your players for once Casey." I say. "Be a good manager and protect your players."
