        Your POV
       I was preparing for my final routine. This was a make it or break it performance. As I walked towards the ice with my parents, I could here the loud cheering of the audience.
"Y/N L/N!" they chanted. It smelled like cold popcorn. I could feel the sequins of my f/c dress poking me at my sides.
"Y/n L/n," the announcer started," her performance this season hasn't been as great as usual. She's neck to neck to Canada's Christine Linh."

He continued," Such a talented skater for only being 13. She'll be performing her free program " Tsunami of love" she says her parents and her decided to choreograph it together. It was inspired by their love for the ice and each other. This will be her last time performing this season."
I stopped listening, I didn't want to hear it.
"Good luck Y/n!" Dad cheered.
"You'll do great!" Mom agreed.
"Thanks." I replied as I skated onto the ice and took my position. As I formed an X with my arms across my chest, my vision became blurry.
Not right now, no. Anything but now. This couldn't be happening. It only got worse as a waited for the music to start. I didn't want it to start. I wouldn't be able to do all my jumps and step sequences. It was a little too late though because the music started. I heard the strike of the violin, my cue. I looked up, my stomach turned. My arms spread out like wings. It was mostly muscle memory, I knew the whole thing by heart, but it was still extremely physically taxing.

As I moved through my routine I could feel my body shutting down. I'd had no sleep these past few weeks, I hadn't been eating before the competition either. My legs were becoming exhausted. The coldness of the ice was lulling me to sleep. As I performed a lutz, I flubbed up the end. Nothing too bad, but they would take some point off.
"Did she seriously mess that up?!" one of the announcers shouted.
"In her years of skating she hasn't messed up one of those in at least a year or two!" The other announcer stated. When would this be over.
As I took my last jump, I actually fell. It wasn't just a flub. I don't fall. I can't. I didn't bother getting up. I was too tired too anyway. The song would end soon enough. I sat on the ice. There where whispers in the crowd. Some of shock or disappointment, but I didn't bother listening. It was all over.

     
        That was a year ago. And that led me to where I am today. After that day I disappeared from the media. My parents discovered many of my issues. Instead of getting me the help I needed, they shipped me off to a small town in Japan, Hasetsu. They said it will "Let my mind rest and heal" whatever that means.People still don't know I live here. Majority of people in Japan don't know who I am, paid the ones who do to stay quit. It's quite surprising actually since there's some famous skater from here. But he's a guy, maybe they aren't interested in women's skating.
I still skate everyday at the only ice rink in town. My parents say I'm not aloud to come back competitively till after I fully heal. Apparently they don't believe I have, so I'm stuck here another 3 months until their next check in. I don't mind it, but I'm not aloud any social media, so skating is pretty much all I have to do with my time. Last I heard people are still pretty caught up on why I left that day, some still looking for me.
   They called me the Ice Queen, the name started when I was the youngest person to perform on the adult level.
     I want to return, but at such a young age, they need guardian approval for me to compete. I'll be back soon though.The Ice Queen will return.
