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 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

*No matter how hard the past is, you can always begin again* ZACK’S POV The sunlight fell directly on my face and I blinked thrive to clear my blurred vision. Why on earth had the morning came up so early??yet, I snuggled up in the bed for a minute longer. Today I had a race to win and my body deserved a great rest after yesterday's party at the boys’ house and looked at my phone to see the time and the number of missed calls I had alarmed me of the time and shit, I was late!!
ZACK’S POV We reached the place which was our hometown called Beverly hills...A town which had not a lot of population but had lots of forests in it and it had the biggest beach of the whole area. I have never visited nor heard about my hometown. But yeah, I had once heard mom saying that we had some relatives in the town next to our hometown but I had never seen them nor talked to them in my life. I was a total stranger to the place. Mom and I were both equally tense to start afresh in such an alienated place. I didn’t have any friends here.
ZACK’S POV *And one day you’ll get what you want and it will be exactly what you wanted* “So, you are the so-called champion everyone waited so long for huh” one of them contemptuously talked to me about myself. They knew every single detail about me as if they had googled about me and I was taken aback by their attitude. “Ignore them I;

ZACK’S POV Coming back to my senses in the forest, I somewhat felt bad as my first Impression of the new town was beautifully shattered. was It necessary that the party experience had to be that way? It had really messed up my mood. Just then I heard a noise of wood breaking from behind. Someone was there? Was It any animal? I had already lost my way and now this. Was my fate in the new town so damned that everything had to happen at the worst? I had a hard time blocking the rush of thoughts coming in mind. It was not so easy for me to be on my own after all those that happened in my life. So, I stood up and turned back to know what It was.
ZACK’S POV Mike was amazed to see me and Zoe together. Zoe was smiling widely at Mike and I noticed It. “Why didn’t you go home?” Mike narrowed his eyes at me with suspicion. To avoid an awkward situation, I told him how I met Zoe in the forest. Appallingly, Mike stood wondered listening to It.

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
