Disclaimer: I don't own make it or break it, if I did season 3 would've been so different

With this I've altered Payson's age slightly she's eighteen in this fic, Sasha is twenty eight

Chapter 1

Payson loved Rigo she knew she did, he was sweet and loving and goofy and funny and he made her go weak in the knees at times, they'd clicked when they met.

He'd waited for her, never pushing her or pressuring her, he supported her, how many boyfriends would think of calling their girlfriends coach to come up and help her the night before she went out to the trials because she needed him.

When she was with him she was happy, riding around on the back of his bike, her arms wrapped around his chest, watching him do tricks and stunts to make her laugh, helping her when she wanted to try even if she did suck at it, they laughed together and things were free and easy. He'd barely known her and he'd helped her find the doctor who gave Lauren back her dream.

She loved the fact her first time was perfect, it was magical and she saw stars, she knew she'd been right to wait, unlike Lauren her first time wasn't laced in secrets and illicit affairs and problems, unlike Emily well that just wasn't going to happen, at least not yet.

She thought of the other men who'd stolen her heart, Nicky had made her feel special and he'd been her first kiss but it hadn't gone anywhere, then came Sasha and god that had been a disaster for him and for her, to this day she was still asked about that damn kiss, but after she got him back from Romania they'd gotten back what they'd lost, and while they were still careful in public it was nice to be back where they had been, the easiness that had always come to them, then it had been Max and if she was honest that hadn't seemed right from the start, then he'd broken up with her and she'd found out he was bisexual and had kissed Austin.

But now she had Rigo and he loved her and she loved him.

Her parents loved him like family already, before the Olympics they'd been supporting the other coming to any training sessions that they could and snatching time in between, mostly nights if she was honest, after the Olympics and she'd come home with four gold medals, on floor, bars, the team and the all around, along with two silvers on beam and vault. She was beaten out by Lauren on beam for the gold, Kaylie had taken away a silver on vault and on floor and Jordan had come in as such a close second to Payson on bars that it had been about one tenth of a point between them because Jordan had stumbled slightly.

While Rigo hadn't gotten a medal he wasn't angry or resentful of her, he was proud.

Kaylie and Austin were still going strong even if Austin hadn't totally gotten over not making it to the Olympics, Jake and Lauren were finally admitting they were a thing and while Jake had also not gotten a medal he was helping Lauren work on her gymnastics just like he had before the trials and through the Olympics, Kelly while not on the Olympic team had stayed friends with them, especially Kaylie but she and Payson had also bonded a lot, Lauren was still a bit wary but overall they were friends and Kelly was still big in gymnastics and the media, her mom had gone to prison for embezzling and tax evasion.

After that Olympics she'd decided to retire from professional gymnastics, or at least competing in them, after the amount her body had been through she didn't want to push it and so she'd called it quits and finally taken Sasha up on his offer as a coach back at the rock.

And here she was stood watching the gymnasts' throws turns and tumbles and she saw promise, some of these would become the next elite and future Olympians.
