Last part of this. It's already too long.

*2 days after part 2 ends*

You had been traveling for two days, and the day that you arrived in the city that Worlds was being held, which was really close to Zayn's hometown, there was a practice on the track. You went to it, then got some rest, for the early race that you had to race the next morning, at close to 4am.... 

*The next morning, 3 days after part 2 ends*

You were on the line for the first time at your fourth consecutive Worlds event, and you were mentally prepared for the upcoming 1500 meter race, thank God. You got to your starting position, then took off at the beep, with a lightning-fast start. Zayn was the only one supporting you, so you felt good about that. If the other boys were around, cheering you on, there would be issues....

"Come on, Janel. Run!" Zayn shouted, as you flew through the 500m. checkpoint. His spot in the bleachers was right by the finish line, so you knew that if you ran harder, you would make it to Zayn faster, and that is exactly what kept you motivated. "Come on, she's onto you! Faster!" Zayn was only saying that, so that you would run harder, and farther away from the rest of the skaters. There wasn't anyone close to you; in fact, 2nd place was just now crossing the 500m. checkpoint, and you were about 1/3 of the way to the 1000m. checkpoint. You had missed a lot of training, due to your asthma attack at the last practice, but that wasn't on your mind right now. You knew what you could do, so you did what you do best, and ran your heart out.

You crossed the 1000m. checkpoint, and your time was 1/2 a second faster than the record, set by one of the girls that you had to race in your challenge-up division. You only had 500m. left until the finish, and Zayn was in clear sight of you. "C'mon, Janel, get to me! Finish line's right here! You can do it!" You ran to him as he encouraged you, and you had totally forgotten that this was a race.

"Woww, Janel's done, and a new record set! Nice!" The announcer said over the immense loudspeakers. You didn't scream your head off, like normal, because you had felt this feeling before. Zayn, however, wanted to scream for you, so that is exactly what he did.

"Good job, Janel! New Worlds record! WOO!!!!" Zayn screamed, as you hugged him. You had felt the feeling of breaking new records before, so that didn't really make you want to fangirl. "Wow, that was fast running right there!"

"Yea...it sure was. I was way ahead of those other girls, now, wasn't I?"

"Yes, you were, and with a new Worlds record, comes the biggest kiss ever!" He tried to kiss you, but that wasn't going to happen.

"Not right here, Zaynie. We can't. There's cameras everywhere, and you know that that is, by far, my biggest insecurity."

"Sorry, love. Can I kiss you once we get to my house?" His house was literally 10 minutes from the track, so you could stay at his house, instead of spending $100+ a night on a hotel. Nice one, Zayn.

"Yes, but nothing else."

"I know that. If I rock you, you won't be able to skate in the morning, causing DQ's for our team; also costing us points for the races, which might cost us the High Point award, and that is something that we want. We've gotten it at every other event, so let's not let this one be the one where we don't get it."

"I know. If I can help it, we'll be coming home with said High Point award."

"That's my girl. Now, for breakfast.."

"Zayn, I can't eat anything before 6am, and you know why."

"Why?" He was just being stupid, so you shot him an evil stare. "Oh, right, because it....you know...doesn't..."

"Ok, I get it, shut your mouth."

"How many more races do you have this morning?"

"2 more in Novice Freshman, all 3 in elite, and 1 in Elementary-Sophomore."

"What are they?"

"2 500m. sprints, 1 more 1500m., 2 5000m. elimination races, and a 300m. time trial."

"Wow...so, what time are you going to be done?"

"Probably, about 2pm, or somewhere in there."

"Ok...when's your next race?"

"Right now. I got to race. See you in a bit."

"Ok...I'll be here cheering you on."

"Thanks, Zayn. Love you!"

"Love you, too!" The rest of your races from this point out, were 1st place wins for you, and in the end, you were able to bring home 3 medals, all 1st places, and your team brought home 3 records, all set by you, and the High Point award. That made Zayn indescribably happy, ecstatic...any positive emotion that you could possibly think of, he was that....
