ZACK’S POV
The hug didn’t even last a minute as the second Lee saw Caroline in my arms, he began to bark his heart out at us.
“What’s wrong with you buddy?” Zoe bend down to calm him down.
Zoe’s one touch was all it took to make Lee shut up from the bark. We all were left blank seeing how with a single move Zoe was able to conquer Lee’s heart. It took me goddamn months to make him fall for me wh
ZACK’S POV {WEEK’S LATER} High school was becoming really exhausting for me. In literal sense, I was going there because I was forced to go by the women in my life, especially Zoe. She had now became a vital being in my life and if it wasn’t for her motivation, I would had dropped out of this fucking high school long ago itself!!!! The only thing I liked about the high school even after all this
ZACK’S POV My decision to join coach David in training the kids led to the growth of my existing popularity in the high school to a whole new level. however, this relationship of mine with Coach had also started creating troubles for me because of some burning souls. Noah and his boys were consumed by their jealousy over me and that fired up his frustrations more. No one could blame his as how could he digest the way a newcomer had started taking away what he had in the high school??? Above all, the whole school considered me the new champion over him only because of my past records!!!!
ZACK’S POV “Zack, before you leave, I want you to think have a thought about this” before I left, coach stopped me and I turned back to him. “Take time as much as needed and go through it. It can help you to get a path for your future” he gave me a bunch of brochures and I was appalled. What was I supposed to do with the brochure?? That too it being of GYT?? Did he want me to do it or was it out
ZACK’S POVNoah had brilliantly succeeded in his plans of trapping and destroying me and my image in the town. It was clean sixer he took to get me out of his way of getting back his lost image in the town. Now he had a reason not to let me participate in the GYT even if he wanted to and had got what he always wanted since he deemed my entry in the town as a threat in his way. But whatever it was for him, for me, it was my end. I had lost my everything and all that remained in me was a tornado of emotions which were killing me slowly. I had a belief that once all these emotions were burned out, the reason for my existence too would cease to exist!!!!I was out of my mind when coach took me to his room and asked me to control himself. He had raised his voice had also began to scream and shout at me saying a lot of things. Little did he know that my head wasn’t at all registering any of his words.“You are down now Zack, dean has called you to his office” out of the blue, Sam
ZACK'S POV “Oh yeah, if a man like Noah does something like that to you, will you smash his face and get a black mark on your future? Do you realize the seriousness of what you have done today?? If it had been any serious issue, that would have been the end of your career and an athlete. Is that what you wanted to show your dad?” she yelled at me.“Come on. Don't you too start again with my career and all. I don’t want it anymore. Why don’t you guys just leave me alone rather than roasting my brains on getting back to track?” I was one taking it and bombarded her with my craziness.“Is it what you think of us?? Have you already decided to show yourself as a loser you show yourself to be now?? What about the hard work my husband had did to raise you to be the Zack you were??” she got moist eyes when she began to confront m but honestly, I was past those emotions.“I don’t know. I just don’t know. All I know is that I’m done with the life in this fucking town and afte
ZOE’S POV Attending a boring class with a storming brain was the worst thing to happen to a student because it was purely a waste of time. And me, all I fucking cared about was what might have happened in dean’s room. Suddenly, Caroline burst into the class and excused me from the teacher who was teaching. Her this sudden move left me bewildered as when I went to her, all I could feel was her scorching eyes giving me a deadly stare. Dear lord, what the heck was she going to blast upon now?? “How dare you? How dare you stab me on my back by making him sneak out of the house at night to spend time with yo
ZACK’S POV I was devastated, shattered and tired of the everyday drama in my life. To be honest, I couldn’t take it anymore. On one hand was my mom who now saw me as her biggest enemy. Yes, the very reason I never got along so well with her after dad’s death was because she never tried to understand me nor my situation. If dad was there then he could have easily handled her. It was he who always did it when he was with us. Mom was always a but controlling of me when it came to our financial condition from the very beginning o
ZOE’S POV Not long after my confrontation with Caroline, I was lost in my own world of madness. Caroline finally faced the truth of the past and that was the best karma she could get for whatever she did. And me, of, I was facing my fate since a very long time, but now, I was relieved from the burden of it until my phone’s notification rang. I was aghast seeing the video of my confrontation with Caroline go viral and more than that, I was dumbstruck realizing that now, the whole High school knew!!! Wait a s
ZACK’S POV The stadium was filled with athletes, their family and friends and the huge crowd of audience who were deadly excited to see their beloved athletes perform their best. They all were hell bound on cheering for their favorite athletes at the top of their voices. Various announcements were being made about the sports venues and finally, after a long wait, the championship trophies were brought up to the stage for display. The Championship trophy was a huge golden colored one which was similar to the Zonal championship’s symbol. It was the symbol of unity, spo
I held her hands and looked into her sparkling tiny eyes. It was moist with tears of contentment and were ready to flow out easily. I couldn’t see that and so, I raced my hands to her puffy cheeks and wiped off those tears before they rolled down. “It’s okay. Everything fine now and from now own, I’ll take care of you. I'll make sure that you’ll get back to the tracks and that you’ll get the second chance you always deserved” I gave her the assurance and she giggled at me. “What??” I felt a mysteriousness in her giggle and asked her.
ZACK’S POV A week later, Zoe was allowed to do activities other than her bed rest. And for that, I had personally taken the initiative to help her with her physiotherapy. I started off with mild ones along with the help of a professional instructor who watched over us. It was done to help her not to give extra stress on her legs so that gradually it could gain its balance. Once the instructor felt me being the perfect help for Zoe, he had asked me to continue her exercises and physiotherapy sessions alone after giving me the required instructions. Above the therapy s
ZOE’S POV Both of us turned towards the door to see who it was and seeing her made us get chills. What was she doing here??? “Do you mind if I come in??” Caroline asked us in a petrified tone. “What the heck are you doing her Caroline? I thought mom had asked you to go back home and got you a cab. How and why did you return??” Zack immediately blasted at her furiously and she hung her head down.
ZACK’S POV Hours later, the surgery was finally over and we hastily waited for the doctor to come out and inform us about her state. But what we didn’t expect from her was the way she behaved after she came out of the OT. She had a bland expression on her face and was dead silent not even taking the initiative to tell us what was happening and her eerie silence worried everyone. Suddenly, her bland expression turned into a wide smile and it hit like a huge wave of relief in all our hearts!!!! “Zoe is perfectly fine and her legs are in perfect condition. The clot had been removed successfully
ZACK’S POV “I know we had a terrible encounter. I am sorry for whatever I did to you. You did wrong but I had no right to beat you. Let’s forget everything and stay friends. At least, after what all happened, this is the mature decision we both can take it in a sense of sportsman spirit” Without any hesitation, I apologized and explained it to him. Noah still was transfixed by my actions. A storm of mixed expressions flashed on his face as he tried to take in my words and still when he failed to believe me, he questioned my intentions.
ZACK’S POV Their words and support proved to be a catalyst for me. In no time, I was filled with energy. Their words had the greatest impact on my fucked-up situation and now, all I had to do was to get over myself like a strong man. For that, the best reason I had was my Zoe!!! “Where were you guys during all these mess that happened in my life. If you had comeback long back I wouldn’t have had to go through such a crisis” I chuckled in disbelief thinking how I had forgotten my real buddies when worst time hit my fate like an apocalypse.
ZACK’S POV The ground was filled with students, parents, faculties and heck a lot of fans of various athletes whom they had been seeing as their idol. Only after seeing this vibe, I was able to understand why GYT was such a celebration. Rather than going behind well-known athletes, these students supported each other to the utmost level. Now wonder why my dad had become a champion!!!! It simply felt as if it was a celebration. GYT was indeed a celebration for the town. It decided the best of athletes who were badly wanting to get the best opportunity of their life. There w
ZACK’S POV I couldn’t utter a single word in answer to him. The truth was that I wanted to tell him many things but everything just came to me and got stuck on the tip of my tongue itself. Honesty speaking, I wanted to yell and tell him that I too loved her as much as she loved me and I will do anything and everything I could, just to give her back the love and happiness she deserved from me and the world. “Mike, please trust me as you had always done” after a lot of struggles it was all I could utter and promised
