Tasha
I rushed to the hospital, the moment I entered the room, he turned to see me, his mother was there with him. I didn't know what to say but yes, I was still in my uniform.
Leo
My eyes were stuck on her, she was really here.she shouldn't be here after what I done…after breaking up with her. Why was she here.
I turned to my mother who seemed to have thoughts of chasing her away
"mama, please don't chase her. I need time with her" "okay, if that's what you want "she stood up and walked out past her.
Tasha
Beth left the room, and now t was I and Leo left, I slowly walked towards him, he had sustained a burn on his hand but physically he was fine.
I sat next to him "I am sorry, I put you through this "he quietly stared at me, he was listening to me." I know am not the kind of girlfriend you have always wanted, I am not supportive, available, I too care about myself -and I realized it has always been me this whole while. And I put the blame on you. Thought about it after the break up-leaving you, turning my back on you when you need a shoulder the most, will be my biggest regret. please, give me a chance to be a proud girlfriend again. I want to be the girlfriend you've always wanted Leo, let's make things work out. "I notice the tears that rolled down my cheeks.
Leo
I wanted her, and have always wanted her, seeing her pour out herself to me made me truly know that she was my ghurl, and she had always been. I didn't want her to be hurting because of me. she sacrificed her dream for us.
I wiped her tears with my unburnt hand "am sorry, for being selfish. Minding only about what others wasn't not you. I ignored us and filled myself with cried. I will now make it up to you. And thank you, for keeping us together till now. Our three years would have gone to waste. I never want to let you go Tasha. I love you "I finally said it.
Tasha
He finally said it without mixed emotions, he loved me. i stared at him laying on bed. i leaned and kissed him, with love and passion" I love you too, Leo "I didn't say it this time worried about anything. Now he was part of me.
He pulled me close to him and we stayed in each other's embrace for a longtime.
Beth
I had been out seeing everything with Cash, I realized my son had now grown up, he was truly in love and I had no right to take that away from him
"looks mama, you have to accept her "cash said. "well, I have been rude to her but she remained with him, she now part of the family "I smiled
Cash
Well she had finally accepted Tasha. Something I truly prayed for and Tasha was back with Leo, I thought the break up was meant but fate played its part. they are meant to be together

Aries
For the next races I had to race alone and my partner was receiving treatment. Well this time I had to do it for him because we were a team
Leo
I changed my training course and made it just like Aries, Tasha was with me through out my journey of recovery. She always supported me and gave me a helping hand and more so did one surprising thing with me, she went jogging with me always. And the other thing was, she sang some notes for me and truly it surprised the both of us.
I recall when she noticed it, she said "fame is nothing, it's a onetime thing that can change who you are. And jealousy. i one thing you shouldn't keep in your heart. Because it will ruin you.so, never let jealousy take over you buh work as a team to achieve the best. You have a lot that waits you a head. so, hit the road together"
I recall that smile she added and it truly built me up. Buh one thing I caught in her notes were "a lot may happen buh the road defines your journey, so it's all about team work and love"
Mama now liked her and yes, they were tight and cash on the other hand just loved watching us being together`.
Tasha
I have never felt this happy, supportive, caring and loving. I can now say am a proud girlfriend. But I didn't realize I could sing. it really shocked me big time.
Well I did it the day I saw Leo having hard time getting a hold of the pain and the thought of seeing Aries take all the fame. I saw he was jealous
So – the lines were something I just came up with and I didn't expect them to rhyme buh they did and he felt lot better. I think I found my purpose.

Leo
Finally, I am now healthy and yeah, its time to get back on the road. buh today I just have no race buh I have to check on my team and guess whose going with me today
Tasha
With peeking him on the lips, Leo smiled at me, "am glad you're going with me today" "well, what else will a proud girlfriend be proud of if not having you by her side" "well, you by my side is all I need. Thank you so much" "well, I have to give my baby all the attention he needs "I smiled and chuckled.
"let's go then. Well shall run late. "he said holding my hand, leading the way.
LXI
Everyone was happy to see Leo back on ground. They welcomed him happily and he smiled at them assuring them that all was cool.
Aries
I was happy to see the kid back. i gladly hugged him and surprisingly he hugged me back saying" thanks for saving my life, I owe you big time" "well no need, am glad your back. more so - happy than ever" my eyes looking at the girl he had come with and he seemed to read my thoughts. He smiled.
"well, she's my girlfriend. We had a misunderstanding that day of the accident so things didn't go well, buh now all is good. And I owe her everything I do "he said and I understood him
"well, I have seen her before, my flight when I was heading here-well, she made my flight comfortable and I know she still wonders if its truly me "I said to him and his face expression made me laugh, he was surprised
Leo
Well I didn't expect to hear that but in one way or the other, I am cool about it" actually, it will be cool when she sees you herself "I said to him" no need for that because am happy to see you expose her to everyone without minding about comments. I am grateful to see this side of you "he said to me." it's all you "I smiled "the let's hit the road "he said That's the same thing Tasha said. Maybe fate has its way to us
"together "I replied
Samy
I saw her happily interacting with the others. I realized I was judging by eyes. She was different buh cool. Her smile was genuine not fake
I approached her, well interrupting the others" hi" I said to her
Tasha
"hi" I replied. I saw her sometime back buh I didn't know she would notice me that instant
"well, I did want to say, thank you for being with Leo all this time. You know he inspires most of us and maybe you would take it the other way around buh ya, crush happens and fades.so, I hope we aint in different terms" she said.
I listened to her carefully not believing what she was saying. Leo was her celerity crush-well such things happen and I don't blame her. I slimed at her and said" well, I would have been jealous buh, its normal to have such – crush on a celebrity.so we aint at different terms. you are part of his team so it's understandable. i am only a proud girlfriend with a man I did never wish to let go of because-love comes once. we cool now right"
"very well" she replied hugging me and I hugged her back.
Samy
All the words she said made me feel she was one understanding person n and so being in her embrace marked the stage of oneness no jealous or grudges
Leo
Seeing Samy hug Tasha made me come to my senses that the night at the hotel, she saw me with her and that sparked the fight. well glad they are cool now
"Leo, I guess no more breaking the rules "Kate said "well, no more breaking the rules" I assured her with a smile which she gladly accepted and I was damn serious
