Thanks for the comments, sorry it took so long to update but here's the second chapter

DISCAMER I DON'T OWN MIOBI SADDLY

Chapter 2- breakfast

Payson arrived at the rock at 5am sharp the next morning, looking forward to the long day ahead. She knocks on the door to Sasha's trailer. She hears a thud and chuckles to herself knowing that Sasha had just fallen out of bed.

He opens the door with a wide smile across his face. "Punctual as always." At this comment she just rolls her eyes and smiles up at the man in front of her. She takes a seat on one of the wooden chairs that he has outside of his trailer as he brings out two bowls of shredded wheat.

She smiles up at him and takes the bowl from him. He takes a seat from across the table from her and hands her a spoon. She takes it from him and they eat in a comfortable silence. Every now and again they look up from their food and smiles at the other.

She chuckles to herself wondering if he actual has any other food other than cereal. This doesn't go unnoticed by Sasha and he gives her a questionable look. "What are you laughing about?" "Nothing, just wondering if you have any other food rather than cereal." He just smiles at her and shakes his head.

Once they were sat there for a while, neither of them talking, Payson finally breaks it. "I'm sorry about last night." Sasha's head shoots up at these words and almost automatically says "I'm not." He griped her hand and squeezed it. "I just thought that…" he cuts her of "when does anything good happen when you think?" he joked and she smiled a sad smile. He let go of her hand and cups her cheek. "you are an amazing gymnast Payson Keeler. A beautiful, smart young woman and I have loved you for so long. Every time I see you up on a piece of apparatus all I can think is please don't fall and a sense of pride overwhelms me every time I see you preform." She is wordless at his confession. He loves me? She thinks.

"You love me?" she asks. He smiles and nods his head "I always will. I love you Payson Keeler." "I love you too." He quickly looks around to see if anyone is there yet. He leans over and kisses her. It was a short but sweet kiss. She smiles and leans over to pick up her gym bag. "Where are you going?" "To warm up, I need to work on my bars and floor routines."

He nods "I will be there in five, I have to clean up." She nods and walks away. He smiles at her back "wait." He pulls they keys to the gym out of his pocket. "I think you might need these." She turns around as he throws the keys at her, she catches them and walks of towards the gym.

Once he sees that she is gone he starts to pick up what was left of breakfast. He thinks of how things could have been over the past year. Payson's accident could have been worse, Kaylie could have died, Emily well…. That couldn't be worse and Lauren, he didn't know where to start. He put the bowls in the sink. He closed the door to his trailer and walked towards the gym.
