{Art Donaldson x Reader}

Warning: None.

----------

You were in your dorm not feeling well, you were supposed to go to class, but you felt sick and off.

You get a message, but didn't bother to look at it and laid on your bed with closed eyes trying to sleep. A few minutes later you heard a knock on the door, you let out a soft 'come in".

You opened your eyes to see it was Art peeking over the door. "Aren't you supposed to be in class?"

"Yeah well you didn't show up or answered my message so I wanted to check up on you." You let out a lazy smile as he sat down at the edge of your bed. "Just to make sure you were alive or else who would I fuck."

"Fuck off." You nudged him playfully as he laughed, He sat there looking at you in peaceful silence before he spoke up.

"You don't look too well though what happened." He was concerned, he put his hand on your head to check for a fever, but you didn't have a fever. That action alone made your heart flutter, but you and Art were nothing more than just fuck buddies, he was attractive for sure. You made it clear that you both are nothing more than just fuck buddies and wanted to keep that boundary.

"I woke up and felt like shit so I decided to stay in." He nodded, but you can tell he looked a bit concerned. After a few minutes of talking he decided he would leave you alone to rest. "I'll get better soon so we can get back to our activities." You smiled as he let out a chuckle as he rolled his eyes.

"Yeah you do that." He smirked and leaned over to you giving you a peck on your forehead before leaving your dorm. Even though you clearly set a boundary it was hard not to catch feelings for him.

A few hours later you didn't feel sick, but your body felt off something wasn't right. You were currently studying with Tashi at the library for some exam you had tomorrow.

"So are you feeling better?" Tashi broke the silence and you raised a brow on how she knew. "Art told me, he was worried."

"Yeah he came to the dorm to check up on me, I'm fine now, but my body just feels off." She looks at you and squints her eyes. You look at her confused, she hums and goes back to studying. "What."

"Tashi what tell me?" She stays silent for a few seconds before she finally sighs.

"Hear me out and don't freak out," You motioned for her to continue talking. "What if you're pregnant?" You looked at her and chuckled.

"Yeah right," You look at her and she wasn't laughing at all. "You were being serious?"

"Think about it yeah you feel better, but your body feels off and you felt nauseous earlier." You nodded your head. "Is your period late?" She whispers, and you realized that you were supposed to start your period a few days ago, and you tried to use the irregular periods excuse.

"Have you guys used protection recently." Tashi snapped you out of your thoughts and you slowly shake your head, and a billion of thoughts start running through your head. You can’t be pregnant you guys were careful when you didn’t use protection you couldn’t.

“But we’ve been careful.” You deny the possibility.

“Yeah well thats what everyone says and they end up pregnant.” You were getting anxious as time went by.

“Let’s get a pregnancy test to make sure you aren’t.” Tashi places a hand on yours reassuring you that everything will be fine.

You nod and you both hastly make your way to the nearest store. You find those electric pregnancy test and purchase it, quickly make your way back to your dorm.

Luckily you share your dorm with Tashi, she locked the room door so nobody would barge in and you quickly went to the bathroom, reading the instructions and took the pregnancy test.

After you took the pregnancy test you waited for the results which were ready in five minutes. You stepped out the bathroom and saw Tashi sitting down on your bed, and you sat next to her.

“What if it’s positive?” She grabs your hand and smiles at you.

“Then you do what you want it’s your choice and i’ll support you either way.” You nod your head, you were anxious as you waited for the results.

Five minutes passed by and you went into the bathroom to check the results and closed your eyes as you reached for it. Your heart was beating so fast, you were so anxious about to have a panic attack. You could hear your heartbeat through the silent atmosphere.

You took a deep breath before you finally opened your eyes.

Pregnant

You felt like you were going to throw up, you couldn't believe that you were pregnant. You and Art have always been careful when having sex, but the recent times you've had you wore no protection. You've always wanted to have kids, but of course when you are settled down and doing better in life, not right now while you are still young and in college.

You hadn't noticed that you started crying, you heard the bathroom door open as you kept staring at the test in front of you. Tashi looks over at the pregnancy test and pulls you in for a hug.

"It's okay, don't worry." She comforts you as you sobbed in her arms.

After a few minutes of her comforting you and you sobbing your eyes out, you finally processed everything.

"So, what are you going to do?" She took you out of your thoughts and you sighed. A few moments of silence passed by as you decided what you were going to do.

"I'm going to keep it." You looked at her to see if she was going to judge you based your decision.

"I'll support you no matter what, and I'll be here too through this journey with you. I'm your best friend of course." She smiles at you as she holds your hands in support and you feel more relaxed with her comforting words.

"But," You stare at her as she pauses. "You have to tell Art."

"What if he tells me to get rid of it, or he doesn't want to be in the baby's life." You were thinking the worse, you didn't want to tell him. His career was also on the line he was at Stanford for a tennis scholarship, he is meant to become a pro tennis player. Meanwhile you had to really earn your position to be in Stanford, you didn't want people talking about how you are having his child, and he becomes embarrassed.

"If he is a dick about you being pregnant then fuck him he's a pussy and he doesn't need to be in the babies life, I'll help you out I'm not leaving you alone." You look at Tashi and she was serious. You throw yourself at Tashi hugging her tightly and she hesitantly reciprocates.

"I don't know what I'll do without you." She smiles and pulls away.

"Yeah well I guess we'll never know." You both laugh at her response and she looks at you. "Now get ready on how you're going to break the news to Art."

Fuck you weren't ready for what's about to happen.

I hope you enjoy part 1 currently I am writing part 2 it will most likely be ready by tomorrow to be posted. Don't forget to request thank you for the support!

Losing You

PAIRING: Patrick Zweig x Reader

Sypnosis: Patrick and you have been best friends since kids (along with art) and started dating during high school. He comes to visit you at Stanford for a tennis match you have, but the visit was not what you expected. Which then follows you in your future events.

Warnings: none. Follows the movie slightly just with my own twist.

This will become a series. Working on future parts.

PT.2 PT3.

You've been practicing for the past two hours tennis against your best friend Tashi who you met at the beginning of attending Stanford. You've played against her in the finals of a tournament before going to Standoord, which you lost making you second place. You both were on a tennis scholarship and talked about tennis way too often, but it never got boring. You sat down on the bench drinking water as she came next to you, reaching in her bag for her water bottle.

"Is Patrick coming to see you play today?" You smiled in response and she rolled her eyes playfully. "I'm guessing that's a yes, aren't you excited?"

"I am, but I'm nervous it's been a long time since he's last seen me play." Patrick has visited you at Stanford months before his pro tour began, but recently your season started and his to so he hasn't been able to come to your games. Yet he finally had time and is seeing you play which is nerve-racking.

"Don't worry you're one of the best players I know." She snaps you out of your thought and nudges you, you thank her since the beginning she always told you that you were the best player she knew.

"Well I got to go get in the zone before the match I'll see you in a bit." She grabs her stuff and waves at you before leaving off the court. You start to pack your stuff since you were done practicing and heard a whistle behind you.

You turn around as you zipped up your tennis bag, you saw your boyfriend with a smirk on his face. He drops his bags, you ran to him and jumped in his arms as he spins you around, you grabbed his face while you both shared a passionate kiss as he slowly let your feet hit the ground.

"I missed you." You tell him as you look over his beautiful face that you've missed over the past months.

"I've missed you more baby you look sexy." He says with a smile on his face.

"I'm sweaty, but thank you." You shyly said and he grabbed your face pulling you in for another kiss.

"Love to see you lovebirds back together again, but please it's disgusting to see you suck faces." You looked behind Patrick to see Art in his Stanford tennis outfit, since he had practice.

"Well I haven't seen my boyfriend in a long time so we will do as we please." Patrick laughed and Art rolled his eyes.

"Anyways are we going to go eat before your match or what?" You nodded your head and you looked at Patrick who grabbed his bags from the floor.

"You guys go I'll catch up with you I just want to put my stuff down in your room baby." He gestures to his bags on his arm and hand. "They are quite heavy." He lets out a laugh and you nodded your head.

"Okay well I'm going to go shower in the girls locker room before we go eat Art so wait for me." Art nodded and you told Patrick the way to your dorm room just in case he forgot, but he said he remembered and went off to your dorm.

After you took a shower you and Art went to the canteen to get food. You both sat at a table and you looked around the area to see if Patrick would enter at any moment, but you couldn't find him.

"He's probably lost." Art said as you kept looking around and you looked at him with a deadpan stare, and he looked at his food.

"He knows his way around the campus he can't get lost." Art nodded his head in agreement.

"So how are you and Patrick doing recently?" Art asks before taking a bite of his food.

"Good. We are great." You said taking a bite of your food and he looks at you with a weird expression.

"What?" You look at him and he shakes his head looking down at his food. "Tell me."

"It's nothing." He brushes it off as he leans back against his chair and you furrow your brows.

"Clearly you need to tell me something about Patrick or our relationship based on your reaction." He laughs and shakes his head.

"No it's nothing." You both were arguing back and forth until he finally gave in. "I'm just surprised that you guys are still together."

You squint your eyes at him confused, a few seconds of silence pass between you before he speaks up.

"I'm sorry-"

"Why are you surprised?" You cut him off.

"No I'm just-" He was tiptoeing on telling you what he needed to.

"Art stop being a fucking pussy and tell me." You were fed up with the secrecy, his eyes widened at your sudden reaction. He sighed looking around and then back at you.

"Is he fucking around with other girls?" He hesitated to answer you, but that silence alone answered your question. Your heart was beating fast and you stood up.

"No he isn't-" Walking out the canteen you were unable to think, but your legs were moving. You kept hearing Art call after you, as he chased after you.

You opened the door to your dorm, looking around none of Patrick's bags were in there. You were confused on who he could've been with. You heard footsteps behind you and Art was panting behind you as he caught up to you.

"Listen I'm sorry-" You turned around to look at Art, he stops talking.

"Fuck off Art and tell me where he is." He stayed silent. "His stuff would be here by now he knows where my dorm is. He's been here before. He doesn't know anyone else here, but you, me, and Tashi." You breathe before you continue.

"I'm going to ask Tashi if she has seen him." You walk past him, but he grabbed your arm, you look at him. You furrowed your brows at him and yanked your arm away, walking towards her dorm.

"I don't think that's a good idea." You didn't care what he had to say. He followed you closely trying to stop you, but you kept making your way down to her dorm, which was down the hallway.

You reached her door and heard Art cuss under his breath.

"Hey have you seen Pat-" You opened the door and didn't expect to see what you saw. Your boyfriend and your best friend all up on each other on the bed, he had his shirt off and she was in her undergarments. Your heart was beating so fast, you didn't expect to see this image in front of you.

Patrick pulled away from the kiss he shared with Tashi, he looked past her to see you standing. His smile faded and his eyes widened, he pushed Tashi aside.

"I can explain." You didn't answer you looked between Tashi and him. You couldn't believe that this was happening in front of you all along, you questioned when it started, but your brain wasn't functioning. "Baby please I can explain."

"Explain? I saw everything." You hadn't noticed that tears were running down your face, Patrick had a hurt look on his face as he saw you cry. "Fuck." He muttered.

"Please listen to me-" he tried to get close to you, but you stepped back.

"No Patrick I'm not. This shit started when?" You looked at them both, they stayed silent as your silent crying turned into sobs. "Since when?" You raised your voice getting inpatient.

"After the tournament ended." You looked at him in disbelief, and looked at her she had a nonchalant face, as if she didn't care. Yet deep down you knew she fucked up she just doesn't want to appear as weak.

"Fuck you both. Fuck you Tashi for acting like my best friend and fucking my boyfriend behind my back." She didn't say anything, but looked down in regret. You looked over at Patrick who had sadness cloud all over his features, shame and guilt.

"And fuck you for doing this to me when I've been nothing, but loyal and wonderful to you. I loved you and I thought you loved me but clearly it's all bullshit."

"I do love you." Patrick said his eyes welling up with tears as he got closer to you causing you to take a step back, you shake your head as he tries to convince you to listen to him calling you names, that would make you blush, but you were just broken.

"If you loved me you wouldn't have done this." You sobbed and wiped your tears off your face, you decided to leave since it was too much for you. All you needed was to be alone at the moment, you heard Patrick say your name, yet you ignored him as you went out of the dorms and made your way around campus, You sat on a bench where you were alone and started sobbing releasing all your emotions before your match began.

I hope you guys enjoy part 1 I am definitely going to make it into a series and hope you guys enjoy reading it. Please request anything you want for challengers, I'm focused on challengers right now! But part 2 coming soon! About to post an Art Donaldson series in a few minutes!

LOSING YOU PT. 2

PAIRING: Patrick Zweig x Reader

Warnings: none. Follows the movie slightly just with my own twist.

This will become a series. Working on future parts.

PT. 1 PT. 3.

------------------------

After moments alone sobbing you finally composed yourself, you grabbed your phone to check the time for your match, which started in 30 minutes so you headed to the girls locker room. You entered the girls locker room to see all your teammates, you acknowledged them and started to get ready putting on your Stanford uniform, and tennis shoes.

You saw Tashi enter the locker room and head to her locker which was next to yours. There was thick tension between you, neither of you spoke to each other, and got ready in silence. It was time to step on the courts and as you grabbed your bag and made your way out Tashi caught up to you.

"I am sorry." You didn't respond as you continued to walk. "You can hate me all you want I didn't mean for it to happen." You looked at her, and she looked ashamed.

"You were my best friend," A flash of hurt displayed on her face when she heard the word 'were'. "Best friends don't do shit like this, a sorry isn't going to fix anything." You guys reached the courts and you separated from her, you went to the court where you were gonna play on.

You look towards the bleachers searching to see if Patrick was there, you were glad he wasn't there or seeing his face would've pissed you off but you only saw Art who was looking at you, he shrugged. You distracted yourself from what happened prior and focused on trying to win, you let out a sigh. First you were playing doubles, your partner was Tashi so for the moment and both of you wanting to win you forget about what happened earlier and show great ass teamwork.

You won your doubles match 6-0, 6-1. Two hours later, it was the evening, it was your singles match. It was match point, 6-2, 5-1. 40-30. You were the last one playing for singles, your teammates and people on the bleachers cheering for you. You were about to serve, all the cheering quieted down, you let out a sigh and throw the ball in the air as you smack your racket against the ball, and it reaches the opponents service box. She returns it with a strong low forehand, and you hit it back with a strong low backhand. You both are going back and forth until she decides to lob it, and you reach your hand out in the air, and while the ball is mid air you smash the ball hard letting all your anger out. Your opponent tried to get it, but was unable to do so.

"Come onnn!" You yelled with your fist near your chest, you smiled at the win and that the match was finally over. You walked up to the net shaking hands with your opponent and then after heading to your team where they cheered for you making Stanford win in the end. Each of your teammates pat your back hugging you, telling you good job as you thanked them. You looked over at Tashi who was clapping for your win, but didn't get close to you.

You looked over at the bleachers where everyone was cheering for you guys, you saw Art clapping with a smile on his face and still didn't see Patrick near him at all. You grabbed your bag and headed out the courts making your way to your dorm.

You were tired, exhausted physically and emotionally, so you quickly avoided running into Art and Tashi to continue talking about what happened prior to the match.

You got to your hallway where your dorm was located at, you halted, Patrick was sitting down next your door with his head in between his knees and his bags beside him. You grabbed your dorm keys and walked to unlock your door, the noise immediately catching his attention, he stood up as you unlocked your door ignoring him.

"Can we talk please?" He stopped you from entering your dorm. You tried to push the door to go inside, but he blocked you once again.

"Move Patrick there's nothing to talk about." you pushed his arm away and you entered your dorm. He made his way inside as you were about to close the door. "Patrick get the fuck out." You raised your voice a bit, wanting him to leave you alone.

"Can you please fucking listen to me for five minutes." He was desperate for you to hear him out, but you weren't giving in.

"There's nothing to talk about Patrick you fucked up and an apology isn't going to fix shit." You were numb you didn't shed a single tear, he looked down ashamed as he stood in front of you. "I loved you so much, I gave you everything and you didn't love me-"

"Yes I do baby please-" You laughed at his response, he looked at you with tears in his eyes.

"Are you joking right now you love me?" You get closer to him centimeters away from his face, you had enough of the bullshit Patrick was saying to you right now. "If cheating on me with my best friend is your form of loving me you must be out of your fucking mind." You whisper close to his face, he apologized to you and you ignored it as you sat on your bed.

He stood there in front of you running his hands through his hair frantically, he knew he fucked up and he didn't want to lose you. "listen I know I fucked up, but we can work through this."

"No Patrick we are done," You stood up and got close to him in front of his face. Sadness and guilt clouding his features, but you didn't feel bad. He wasn't the one hurting. "You don't deserve me, I've been nothing, but loyal and caring to you, and you go and fuck someone else. MY BEST FRIEND. I deserve someone better who will love me, care from, and want me, and not go to someone else to get his dick wet." He looked at you with tears in his eyes.

"I can't come to hate you but I hate myself because I will forever love you," You blink away the tears that are threatening to run down your face. "So please go and leave me alone."

His eyes filled with tears, but blinks them away, he nods his head. You sit down on your bed, as he walks to the door and pauses, he looked at you as you avoided looking at him. He wanted to say something, but instead he continued to walk out the door.

When Patrick left your room he knew he fucked up, growing up he was never shown how to be or feel to be loved. He cherished what you both had a lot, he loved you so much, he still did but he took you for granted. He shouldn't have done what he did for so long, he fucked up something amazing. He lost the person who loved him He is willing to leave you alone, but he won't forget you and stop loving you.

That was the last time you saw Patrick that same day he left to go back to the ATP tour, and the last time you talked to Tashi. You've seen her around campus, but never had a conversation, during practice and matches it was hard to avoid her and talk to her, since you were doubles partners. You saw Art around campus, had class with him and would talk to him, but not as much as before.

PRESENT 2019

You were playing at the New Rochelle Challengers, you were a pro tennis player, you were content in your life. Everything was going well for you, winning some opens as a well known tennis player, but after your knee injury, you took a long break to recover. Now that you are back playing you decided to go for a challenger, in hopes to meet an old friend who is participating.

You made it to the registering counter to sign in, nobody was in there until an older lady appeared. "Hi, I'm here to sign-in."

The older lady looked at you starstruck and said your name. "I can't believe I'm meeting you, I'm one of your fans. I'm so happy you are back on the court" You smiled at how enthusiastic she was.

"Thank you!"

"I know who you are, but it's protocol to ask for your name." You told her your name and she looked for it through every page.

The door opened and the lady looked over your shoulder, you didn't care to look. "Welcome may I help you?"

"Yes I'm here to sign in, hey told me to come here." You tensed up it was a familiar voice that you haven't heard in a long time.

"Name?"

"Patrick Zweig." Your heartbeat was going so fast, you knew you were going to face him sooner or later, but not now you weren't prepared. He hasn't seen your face yet, so he won't know that it's you.

"Okay once I find her name oh here it is," The lady says your name and she highlights your name, you squirm your face at the mention of your name. You felt his eyes on you and you just smile at her.

"Thank you." You say and she smiles, you pass by Patrick glancing at him and looked away quickly. You sped out the building, Patrick lingered his gaze on you.

He has seen you on television as you played in the US Open, Roland Garros, etc. However, that didn't compare to seeing you in person, you were still beautiful to him, he still felt guilty all those years after the incident. He never forgot about you and never stopped loving you.

You let out a quick breath as you walked out the building, all you wanted was to get back to your hotel and avoid him as much as you can.

He looked different compare to the last time you saw him. He looked a mess, if you didn't know anything about tennis players you would've thought he was a homeless person. He looked like he needed a shower and definitely needed to shave his beard.

You almost made it to your car where your mom was waiting for you until you heard your name being called. You turn around to the direction of their voice to see Patrick calling your name. "Fuck." You muttered.

You ran into the passenger seat of your car making your mom question your action. "I'll explain just drive please now." Your mom didn't question and just drove away, you let out a sigh as you drove away. Leaving Patrick there looking after your car.

Your mom knew Patrick since you guys were little kids, she took care of him, and loved him as if he was her own. She knew about your break up with Patrick, but you never told her the actual reason as to why you guys broke up. You didn't want to ruin the close relationship they had with each other, your mom was more of a parental role for Patrick growing up than his own parents. She thinks your break up was due to long distance, and thinks that there is a chance you can possibly be together again.

Before you arrived to the hotel you went to go eat. You arrived at the hotel an hour later, you were ready to lay down on your bed and sleep. You go in the lobby and check in at the reception, they told you to wait a couple minutes since they wanted to make sure your suite and your mom's suite was settled and ready for the both of you.

Your mom went to go sit down at the lounge, while you went to go get a drink and your mom a coffee. You sat down on a stool telling the bartender your order and looked to your left and it was Patrick with a woman whose back was facing you. Yet he was laughing with whatever she said which made you a bit jealous, you loved Patrick even though he hurt you. However, you still were not going to give into him if he did anything.

He looked over her shoulder to make eye contact with you, you looked away hoping he doesn't walk over to you.

"Excuse me," You heard him say to the woman, the bartender gave you your drinks and you were about to leave when Patrick came up to you.

"Didn't expect to see you here?" He said as he nervously put his hands in his front pockets.

"Likewise."

"Are you staying here?" You nodded and he nodded too, awkward silence arose. You look towards the woman, she was beautiful and already was looking at you nervously before she took a quick sip of her drink.

"Is that your girlfriend?" You look back at Patrick as he chuckles.

"No."

"Are you on a date?"

"No funny story actually," He leaned against the bar counter. "I need a place to stay and I found her on dating app, so hopefully I can stay with her." You look at him with a blank face, you didn't find it funny.

"This is the part where you laugh." You didn't laugh at all.

"So you're homeless." He denies it quickly as he tries to explain. "You are homeless you have no place to stay and no money."

"What? Are you worried about me?" He joked trying to lighten the mood like old times, but it was too soon for that.

"I stopped worrying about you long ago Patrick," He flash of hurt masked his face when you said that. "I'm not worried about you. I'm worried that she's going to give in and consider taking you in."

He looks back at the woman and gives her an awkward smile before looking at you. "Well you're right she is giving in due to my charm."

He hasn't changed one bit he is still a natural flirt, and he used it to get him anything. That's what he did before you guys got together, when you were first best friends. Now he's using it to his advantage to get a free place to stay.

"Patrick it's so nice to see you, you've grown handsomely." Your mom comes up to you both greeting him cutting the conversation short. "Are you staying here?"

"No I unfortunately don't have a place to stay."

"You can stay in the suite if you'd like you two will be sharing it." You look at her as if she lost her mind. She winks at you and you shake your head.

"Thank you, but-" Patrick declined even though he really wanted to take up the offer, but your mom kept insisting.

"No I think he's fine." You said sternly trying to get your mom to stop pestering him.

"Nonsense you are staying in the suite and that's final." You were about to open your mouth, but she gave you a pointed look, which made you shut up. She left to go get an extra keycard for him and you stood there while Patrick went to go talk to his lady friend.

Your plan to stay away from Patrick as far as possible wasn't happening. You sighed feeling a headache forming due to today's surprises, you went to go sit down at the lounge area.

"I'm sorry if you don't want me to stay I can definitely let your mom know that I'm not staying and I'll find somewhere else or someone to help me." You look at Patrick who is sitting down on the empty couch next to you, he played with his fingers as he looked at you nervously.

"My mom will question me as to why I'm acting weird towards you and why I don't want you to stay. I haven't told her why we actually broke up," He stayed silent as you looked at him. "She thinks we broke up due to distance."

"How come you didn't tell her the truth?" He questioned.

"Because I don't want her to hate you." You said quickly, you felt his stare boring into you. he didn't expect you to say that. “So just stay with us even though I don’t want to be near you.” You whisper as you saw your mom walking towards you both with the keycard in hand.

It pained Patrick to see you acting cold towards him, but he knows he deserves it. You have every right to act the way you are acting currently, but he hopes to get you back. He knows he fucked up and there's no excuse for his actions, but he missed you ever since your break up. He never stopped loving you and he knows he took you for granted, he hopes that you would give him a chance even though he knows you hate him. Regardless of you saying that you couldn't hate him, he is willing to make it right.

Once the keycard was settled, you both make it to your suite as your mom goes to her room. Opening the door, you both step inside the suite, which was spacious a big living room, big enough to stretch and exercise before matches, a small kitchen area, and a bedroom a few steps away from the entrance.

You make your way inside the bedroom and look at the big bed in the middle of the room, with a bathroom. "Fuck," You mutter as you realize there's only one bed.

You set your bags down and walk towards the living room, Patrick was standing there awkwardly looking around. "I can sleep on the couch I don't mind."

You look towards the couch to see that it was quit big on length, but it looked extremely uncomfortable to sleep on.

"We are both adults we can sleep on one bed," He looks at you shocked at your response. "Besides it looks uncomfortable."

he nods his head and makes his way towards the bedroom putting his bags in the bedroom. You sat on the couch reliving the recent events that took place earlier today.

"So how have you been?" You heard Patrick ask, he sat down on the other end of the couch.

"Fine," You say not sure if you share to him any more information.

"I've seen your matches you are quite the star on the court," You slightly got caught off guard with the compliment, blushing slightly.

"Thank you I try my hardest to do my best." I say and he nods, awkward silence emitting between us. "Have you been doing good in your matches?"

"You haven't watched them?"

"No I haven't." Disappointment flashes on his face, the truth was that you have seen his matches. However, he was totally different from before when you both were younger he was crazy good, but now he's just good he's not THE Patrick you used to see on court.

"So how are Art and Tashi?" You changed the topic.

"Uh I haven't talked to them after what happened, especially with Art we became distant." You were surprised that he didn't keep contact with Art they were super close.

"I'm surprised they got married." Patrick laughs in agreement. "She never was interested in anyone her main focus was on tennis so it's surprising."

"Yeah well maybe she eventually ended up loving him as much as he did towards her." He said and you agreed.

Silence filled the room and Patrick kept looking at you as if he wanted to say something to you, but he kept closing his mouth when he was about to open it. "Spill it Zweig."

"I really want to talk to you about what happened, years ago." You've been wanting to avoid this conversation because you don't know how you would react to what he will say.

"Listen I fucked up and I took you for granted, I am such an idiot for hooking up with Tashi." He pauses as he looked you, you looked at him with a serious expression which intimidated him. "I know I hurt you so much and I've been beating myself up about that, I just wanted to apologize and I wanted to let you know that I still cared about you all these years."

You stared at him in silence processing his words and he had a guilty expression on his face. "I appreciate your apology and an apology can't fix anything the only thing we can do is move forward from it and move on from the past." He looks relieved at your response

"Do you still think that we have a chance together, again" Your eyes widen at his sudden question, you didn't know how to respond. You were hurt from what he did, but you missed him all those years, you couldn't possibly hate him. Yet you weren't easily giving into him.

"I don't think so, I'm not sure," Disappointment fills his face. "I'm mainly focused on this tournament it's important for me to win."

He nodded.

You only wanted to win because Tashi was playing, and if she made it to the finals you were going to give it your all so you could see her lose in the sport she adores. It's the only thing you could take from her the one thing she cares about.

She took what you cared about, Patrick.
