AN: I do not own Make it or break it. Neither do I own the Characters. This is just a short starter Chapter. There might be more chapters to come. Who knows. This is my first Fan fiction.

Chapter 1

I touched the little box in my jacket pocket and smiled as I remembered how I got it. It was a necklace that had 5 rings on it like the Olympic rings. It was a gift from Sasha. Sasha is my gymnastics coach. I am an elite gymnast. After earning a place on the Worlds team Sasha took me out to dinner to celebrate. That's when he gave me the necklace to tell me how proud he was of me.

*Flashback*

We had just finished eating dinner when Sasha cleared his throat.

"Now Emily, since you got a spot on the Worlds team I want to give you something. I picked it out after you got on the National team. I wanted to give it to you after World tryouts no matter if you got a spot on the Worlds team or not."

He slid the little box across the table to me. I opened it and saw the Olympic ring-like necklace.

"Oh Sasha it's so beautiful. Thank you."

I looked up at him with tear filled eyes. Since that night that Sasha caught me he has been like a father to me and I know he feels like I had become like a daughter to him.

"You're welcome Emily. Now when you look at the necklace or you're wearing it you'll know how proud I am of you and how close you are to your dreams of becoming an Olympic Champion."

"Thank you Sasha. I'll wear it with pride and honor. I won't let you down. I promise."

"I'll hold you to that promise Kmetko. Now how about we get you home so you can get some sleep for practice tomorrow?"

"Um actually Sasha, I was hoping tonight I could sleep at The Rock since my mom's out of town with my brother Brian for a couple of weeks for Brian's Doctors appointments? I already have stuff in my locker in case you said yes."

"No need to sleep in the gym Emily. I got a house with a couple of spare rooms that I turned into guest bedrooms. You are more than welcome to sleep there until you can make arrangements to stay somewhere else or you can sleep there until your mom gets back in town. It's up to you."

"Wow thank you Sasha."

"No problem Emily."

"You don't have to let me stay at your place though. But thank you Sasha."

"We can stop by the gym and get your clothes and whatever else you need for tonight and tomorrow I'll take you over to your apartment so you can pack a bag till your mom gets back."

"I really appreciate this Sasha. Ever since that night you have been like a father to me and because of you, I know I'm going to be able to do my best and show everyone what I got."

"No problem Emily now let's go so you can get some sleep. We're going to work on upping your Degree of Difficulty (DoD) on each apparatus so you can rock at worlds."

"Ok Sasha"

AN: Please review. Tell me what you want to see and I'll try to get it incorporated into the story. I know this is a short chapter but hopefully I'll have longer chapters in the future. I'd like to thank GrimReapper for his help. He doesn't know much about the show but he knows how to give me constructive criticism. Love him to pieces. Also a big thank you to charliegunner8 for being my beta and helping me better the story. Can't wait to see what everyone says
