Austin pulled up to his lake house and went inside. Kaylie was being released from the hospital today, but her parents had wanted to bring her home and spend some time with her. Fortunately, Kaylie's parents seemed closer than ever since her accident. Meanwhile, Austin had until tomorrow to get his head on straight. He and Kaylie were going to spend the day together tomorrow in celebration of her homecoming, plus, her parents had to go back to work tomorrow and they didn't want Kaylie to be alone her first day back, which meant they had the whole day to be together.

Austin decided to take a mind-clearing shower, Kaylie made him crazy sometimes and he needed to relax for the first time since she had fallen off the beam at try-outs. Since then, he hadn't had a quiet minute, he was worrying constantly, which was something he hadn't experienced since his sister's escapade, and something he had hoped, he wouldn't experience again. There was a reason he didn't date gymnasts, they were too intense, and he couldn't deal with theirs plus his own. But Kaylie was different. Since the first day he came to the Rock, he had this strange desire to protect her, and the more he got to know her, the stronger it became. Then even weirder feelings came. Austin didn't do relationships, they were too much drama, too much commitment, but something about Kaylie just drew him to her, and he just couldn't put his finger on what it was. Every minute he spent with her, he discovered something new he liked about her, which led to him spending more time with any girl than he had before. And when she fell off that beam, he knew that he had fallen too. He was in over his head now, and he knew there was no way out, but for once, he didn't really mind.

After his shower, his nerves had sufficiently calmed down and he decided to get some sleep. He drifted off, with his plans for the next day buzzing around in his head.

Kaylie sat in the backseat of her parents car. While she was in the hospital, her parents had put their differences aside, and Kaylie was extremely grateful. But she knew that if she wanted it to last, some things needed it to change. Right now the main reason her parents were together was because of Kaylie's injury, if the state of her health had not been so poor, her parents would not be trying so hard. So Kaylie's plan was to guilt them into doing things they had done together as a family before, so that maybe, just maybe, they would miss it enough to try to be together for a different reason other than Kaylie's health.

As Kaylie sat there, her thoughts drifted. They ended up in virtually the same place every time. Austin. He was always there, even if he wasn't there physically, which most of the time he was, he was always in her head. She still couldn't believe what was going on. She never, ever thought she would have any other feelings but annoyance for Austin, but since that heart-stopping moment when her weak and frail body had landed in his strong and sure arms, something inside her changed. He cared for her in a way that Carter never had. Carter was a great guy, and Kaylie had loved him, but it seemed like Carter always wanted something from her, always expected things from her. With Austin, everything was totally different.

Carter, she had already known him, she had thought she loved him, but Carter had hurt her, had betrayed her for her best friend, and once she wasn't being blinded by her "first love" she realized that what she had with Carter wasn't love after all, not for her. It seemed like her relationship with Austin was the complete polar opposite. The only expectations Austin had for Kaylie were for her own good, and he gained nothing from them, except for happiness that she was recovering. The more Kaylie discovered about Austin, the more she realized that he was not at all the guy she thought he was, or the guy he wanted people to think he was. He was truly amazing. He had been there in that hospital every day, and every single second he was with her, she found herself falling for him, in a completely new and incredible way. She thanked her lucky stars that he didn't leave her alone when she told him to, because if he had, Kaylie would not be in very good shape.

"Kaylie, were home, Honey," Her mom called from the front seat, snapping Kaylie from her reverie.

She breathed a sigh of relief, finally. She hated that hospital, and it was the best feeling in the world to just be home. Now if only they would let her get back to the Rock so that she could continue her training. If she was going to go to the Olympics, she didn't have time to be sitting around the house "recovering", she needed to be training.

She walked into the house and went straight to get a hot shower and go to bed. She was exhausted and Austin was taking her out tomorrow. Just thinking about spending a whole day with Austin, and without her parents, or the hospital or other gymnasts, made her stomach tumble.

Please Review, and let me know if I got that right, and if you liked it or not, I'm going to try to update this as much as possible before the premeire airs and every thing I've written is wrong.
Thanks!:)
