The timeline is going to be a bit messed up, just with the National practice and certain events, like the arrival of Austin Tucker, but it's all going to be tied in. This chapter has rape mentioned in it.

When Sasha arrived back to Emily's room, he saw the room was empty. He was quite surprised by this and his facial expression was so strong that Emily could easily read his face.

"Mom got called into work. She was ready to quit, but I convinced her otherwise. I also told her that you were coming back anyways so I would be alone for too long." Emily explained to Sasha.

"Do you mind if I sit down?" Sasha said as he pointed to the chair beside Emily's bed.

"Not at all. Now, are those my strawberries?" Emily asked with a smile.

"Enjoy them." Sasha said as he passed them over.

"Wake up, Sasha." Chloe said as she shook him awake.

"What?" Sasha said as he looked at Chloe practically still sleeping cause Emily to let out a smile laugh.

"You need to head home and then to the Rock. The girls need you there."

"Alright." Sasha said he got up and stretched out his muscles. "Will you be ok, Emily?"

"I will be fine Sasha, but could you tell Lauren, Kaylie, and Payson where I am. I want to tell them."

"Ok." Sasha said as he left the room and made his way to his car.

ESESESESES

Sasha was sitting down in his car as he watched his gym. He knew the girls were training, oblivious to what had happen around them. He would have to call Kaylie, Lauren and Payson into his office and tell them that Emily wanted to see them tonight.

'God, I sound like an ass, but what about us? Well time to face the music' Sasha thought to himself as he got out of his car.

"Lauren, Kaylie, Payson. I would like to see you in my office now." Sasha said as he walked by the girls and into his office.

The girls looked at each other with the 'this better be good look' and quickly followed Sasha into his office, each taking a chair before sitting down.

"What is going on, Sasha?" Lauren asked, speaking for the rest of the girls.

"It's about Emily."

"Is she ok?" Kaylie asked.

"She is ok for now. I am hoping she will recovery quickly and truly. I will be giving her the rest of the week off so she had able to recovery with her family."

"Recover? What happen?" Payson asked.

"At the moment, Emily is in the hospital. She will remain there, according to the doctors, for another few days. It is the reason why I wasn't here yesterday. I was at the hospital with her and her family. She has asked me to give you girls a message. She would like for the 3 of you to visit her today after training, Emily's words, because she would like to speak with you." Sasha said as he watched the reaction of the girls.

"Can't we go now?" Lauren asked.

"Unfortunately, no. She is seeing doctors all day to speed up her recovery. I know she wants you girls to train. I will let your parents know that you are requested at the hospital. I will also be going with you girls."

The girls knew that they couldn't argue against Sasha for something like that. Lauren really wanted to argue against him. She wanted to see if Emily was ok. As much as Lauren could be nasty towards Emily when she first arrived, but now Emily was her friend.

ESESESESES

The day had gone painfully slowly for the girls. They just wanted to see Emily. Sasha had indeed informed them that Emily was in the hospital and wanted to see the girls. The girls and their parents were waiting in the hall while Sasha went in first.

"Hello, Emily."

"Sasha, you're back. Brought me any goodies?"

"I didn't realize I had too."

"You always bring goodies to a hospital patient." Emily said laughing.

"I see you are feeling better."

"Ya, I've been speaking with psychologist all day. They say that if we do this while its fresh, the recovery will be better."

"That is great. I just want to you to be better, Emily."

"I know, Sasha, and I want the same thing. Oh, the cops were in today, they said they got a hit off CODIS and would be arresting the guys later on today."

Sasha was speechless. The cops had found the perpetrators already and would be making the arrest. He knew this would help with Emily's recovery. It just had too.

"That is great to hear, Emily. Well since, I didn't bring goodies for you, I have something else that you will like." Sasha said as he opened the door to reveal Lauren, Kaylie and Payson practically running the room and him stepping out.

"Shouldn't we be in there as well?" Steve asked Sasha.

"No. This is a personal matter. Emily wished to tell her friends what happen. If Emily wishes for you to know, then it will be her decision." Sasha said as he sat down.

ESESESESES

"EMILY!" Lauren, Kaylie and Payson said as they all hugged Emily.

"Hey guys, why don't you sit down and I will tell you the story. Afterwards, we can chat about the good things."

"You always have to do the bad news first, so you can enjoy the good news to the max." Payson said as she sat herself down at the foot of the bed.

"Very true." Emily said as she started to tell her story to the girls.

Half an hour later, Emily was finished with her story and there was not a dry eye in the room. The girls were completely speechless. They never thought that it would happen to one of them.

"Please don't tell anyone." Emily said afterwards.

"We won't tell anyone, not even our parents" Kaylie said which Payson and Lauren quickly agreed.

"Thank you."

"So, Emily, when do you think you will be returning to the gym? It's not the same without you there." Lauren asked genuinely.

"I hope soon. I know Sasha said I could have the rest of the week off, but I think I might just show up just so I don't go crazy at home." Emily said giggling cause the rest of the girls to laugh.

"Think Sasha would let you in without training?" Lauren asked still laughing.

"Oh he better if he knows what is good for him." Emily said which caused all the girls to go in a giggling fit.

ESESESESES

While the girls were enjoying themselves as much as they could in a hospital room, the parents were starting to get restless. Not wanting to be rude to Emily, they stayed, but they had other obligations.

"Why don't you guys go home and I will drop the girls off later on." Chloe said as she arrived.

"Are you sure?" Kim asked.

"Yes, Emily needs the girls right now more than anything. Once the visiting hours are done, I will drop them off."

"Thank you very much." Alex said as he gave a quick hug to Chloe before leaving.

"Yes, thank you." Kim said as she did the same.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" Steve asked Chloe.

"I will be fine, Steven. Why don't you go home, prepare supper for you and Lauren and relax. You need it." Chloe said as she gave Steve a kiss before shooing him out.

ESESESESES

"I will stay with Emily." Sasha said as Chloe got ready to bring the girls home.

"Thank you Sasha."

"No problem." Sasha said with a small smile as he watched all the girls hugging Emily.

"Get well soon, Emily." Payson said still hugging Emily.

"Ya, get well soon, can't have you missing all the torture, I mean, fun that Sasha is giving us." Lauren said causing everyone laughed when Sasha's face scrunched.

"We will see you soon, Emily, just get better." Kaylie said as they all walked out.

"So, Coach, when do you think I will be able to return to training?" Emily asked once everyone was out of the room.

"You can start training on Monday. I want you to take the rest of the week easy."

"Would you mind if I can to the gym on those days? I feel like I might go crazy if I stay at home and do nothing; I feel like I am going crazy just being in here doing nothing."

"I guess I can allow that, but you will be in my office when the girls are training and not on break. You might want to bring something for you to do as well."

"Thank you so much, Sasha."

Monday morning came all that fast, but Emily didn't mind at all. She was happy that it was Monday. She was starting her training again.

"Emily! In my office." Sasha said as soon as he saw Emily enter the gym.

'Geez, just getting back and he is already ordering me around.' Emily amusingly thought to herself.

"Yes Sasha?"

"Have a seat, Emily." Sasha said as he sat down at his desk. "I don't want to push or rush you, but this Friday and Saturday will be the last National practice before the tryouts for the World Team. I would like for you to stay after practice so we can work one on one to make sure you blow the practice out of the water this weekend."

"I would like that, Sasha. It means the world to me right now."

"No problem, Emily. Now, why don't you go change and start practice."

Emily smiled as she left and made her way to the locker rooms to get ready for practice. Once she was on the floor, she was greeted by the girls who were all happy to see her back.

"So, Em, what are you doing to start off with?" Kaylie said as they all finished their warm-up.

"I think I will start with the Vault since Sasha wants me to up the DOD on all my apparatus." Emily said as she chalked up and walked to the Vault start line.

Emily's day had gone by without a problem. Her week off training had no effect Emily at all which Sasha was grateful to see. She was pushing but not too hard.

"Chloe, I would like for Emily to stay behind tonight to get more training since she missed last week. This weekend is the last National practice before the Worlds and I would like for Emily to be at the top of her game with the rest of the girls."

"You don't need to explain it to me, Sasha. I trust you to make the right decision. Just let me know when I need to pick her up."

"That won't be necessary, Chloe, I will drive her home."

"Are you sure, Sasha? I don't want to ruin your evening."

"It's no problem at all." Sasha confirmed before walking towards Emily to begin her training. "Emily, I want you to start on the Vault."

3 hours and a very tired Emily later, Sasha stood proudly beside Emily and she finished her final stretches of the day.

"I'm gonna go call Mom to let her I'm done." Emily said as she got up.

"There is no need, Emily. I told your mother that I would drive you home; and before you asked, I already told her it was not a problem. So why don't you go take a shower and change? I will be in my office when you are done."

"Thank you Sasha." Emily said as she got up and walked towards to locker room for a second time that day.

'I can't be having thoughts like that, especially after what just happen.' Sasha thought to himself as he sat down in his chair facing away from the locker room. He just wanted to jump in the shower with Emily, but he knew that he would have to let her come to him first.

"I'm ready to go Sasha." Emily said from the door way of his office.

"Alright." Sasha said as he grabbed his coat and keys. "Take the keys and go to the car. I am just going to lock up the gym."

While Sasha was locking up the gym, Emily ran to the car, got in and locked herself in while waiting for Sasha. At the moment, for Emily, the dark scared her. She knew that Sasha would never let anything happen to her but she was still afraid.

Emily almost jumped out of her skin when there was a knock at the driver side window. She was so deep in her thoughts that she hadn't noticed Sasha leaving the gym and walking to his car. Leaning over the driver seat, Emily unlocked Sasha's door which he quickly got in. Emily was pretty sure that Sasha had seen how much she had jumped.

"I'm not going to hurt you, Emily."

"I know Sasha. I'm sorry I jumped. I was just so deep in my own thoughts that I didn't see you."

"Ok, now, let's get you home." Sasha said as he started the car.

"Thank you, Sasha, for everything. It means the world to me that you haven't left or let me down."

"I would have to be crazy to leave you Emily. I love you and nothing is going to change that." Sasha said as he grabbed Emily's hand.

"I love you too."
