Y/N's POV

The finish line got closer and closer, I was about to come 1st in the Boston marathon. I started sprinting, my legs took me as fast as they could, until a small rock got in my way and I fell to my knees. As I fell I felt a sharp pain in my ankle, runners upon runners ran by me, not even caring to even look at me. I held my ankle in pain until I felt an arm go around me. I was lifted onto my feet and I saw a guy around my age holding me up, I didn't recognize him right away because I was so focused on my ankle.

"What are you doing? Go finish the race," I told him.

"If I'm finishing then you're finishing, let's go," he told me. I wrapped one arm around his neck and started limping as fast as I could to the finish line that was now only meters away.

When we crossed the finish line I fell onto the ground crying in joy, the guy sat beside me and hugged me tightly as the health team surrounded us. I put my ankle out and they started their work on it, I pulled away from the hug and got a good look at the guy who helped me, it was my crush from my collage, Jack Avery.

"J-Jack," I said surprised.

"It's me Y/n," he said with a soothing voice. I hugged him tightly again and he rubbed my back gently.

When the nurses were done inspecting it Jack and I looked at them.

"Broken, you'll need to go to the hospital," a nurse told us. Jack nodded then picked me up in his arms.

"Jack, you need to stay, you need to see the awards go around and you need t-."

"Well you're not going to that hospital alone," Jack cut me off.

*at the hospital*

I laid down on the hospital bed as a doctor examined my foot.

"Ok I need to snap it back into place, it will hurt a lot," the doctor told me. I nodded then grabbed onto the closest thing, and I ended up grabbing Jack's hand. I blushed and looked away from Jack to hide it. "Ok, 1, 2, 3," the doctor said then snapped it back into place. A sharp pain shot through my ankle and I let out a small cry.

"You did great Y/n," Jack told me. I looked at him and gave him a weak smile. The doctor put a cast on my ankle and gave me instructions. He got me crutches then Jack and I left the hospital.

*at home*

Jack helped me inside my apartment the best he could then helped me sit on the couch.

"Thank you for everything," I told Jack with a smile.

"No problem," he replied. I smiled at him but then he started to leave.

"Wait," I called out. Jack turned around and looked at me. "Can you stay?"

"Of course," he replied. Jack sat beside me on the couch and I put on a movie for us to watch. I put a blanket over us and I cuddled into Jack's side, he wrapped an arm around me and pulled me closer. I closed my eyes and slowly fell asleep.

When I woke up I was in my bed and Jack was laying next to me on his phone. "Hey," he welcomed.

"Hey," I replied as I stretched my body.

"How's your ankle?" he asked.

"Fine, I think," I replied as I took my ankle from under the covers. I looked at my ankle to find it swollen a little bit.

"I'll go get you some ice," Jack told me. He got out of the bed then went to the kitchen.

When he came back he had an ice pack in his hands, he handed it to me and I placed it on my ankle and let it sit there.

"Thank you," I said quietly. Jack sat back down close to me and smiled.

"For what?" Jack asked.

"For everything, helping me finish the race, bringing me to the hospital, bringing me back home, thank you," I said with a smile.

"Anytime," Jack replied. Our faces were close and we both started to lean in, our lips connected smoothly and moved in sync.

When we needed air we pulled away and smiled at each other. Jack leaned back in for another kiss so I did as well. We were both smiling like crazy when we pulled away. "Will you give me the honour of being your boyfriend?" Jack asked. I nodded with a smile then kissed him again.

When we pulled away I hugged Jack tightly, he rubbed my back gently and kissed the top of my head.

When we pulled away from the hug we smiled at each other and held hands. "I hope you don't mind, but I used your shower," Jack told me.

"That's fine," I replied with a smile. "I should probably shower, I'm a sweaty mess."

"Yeah you should, but I want to cuddle," Jack told me with a small laugh. I laughed then Jack and I laid down together. I laid my head on his chest and he played with my hair. I yawned and Jack smiled at me. "Go to sleep princess," he whispered. I nodded then slowly drifted off to sleep.
