On the edge ~ Larry Stylinson au

Chapter 1

Harry's POV

The best moments of my life have happened on the ice. Nothing can beat the indescribable feeling of gliding across the ice. Being on the ice is when I feel most alive, it is when I come alive.

Ice skating is my favorite thing in the world, it makes me feel the most me that I can be. Being openly gay I've always felt at home at the rink, I've always been accepted there. Not to say that I wasn't accepted in my actual home, my mum has always been he most supportive person in my life, she is my favorite person in the entire world. Which is what made it so hard to move away.

I always knew my ice-skating path would lead me away from England, but it still hurts to leave. I have been training in England my entire life, but in order to make it I need to move to where all the action is at. I need to train where my competition trains at to finally be able to beat my competition.

Which brings me to where I am now, on a plane to the United States, Colorado to be exact. This is where my self-proclaimed rival Louis Tomlinson has trained for the past five years. Louis and I have been competing against each other since we were four. We used to be best friends until he decided to move to America and forget about me and everyone else. Now he literally calls me his arch nemesis, I think that he is a bit juvenile to call me his rival, but to each their own.

Louis has been trained by Boris Grigorev for the past five years in Colorado at the World Arena Ice Hall in Colorado Springs. I'm going there to train with Amber Mora one of the best choreographers in America. This year my tactic to beat Louis in the artistic score, Louis can beat me in the component score any day, but he can't beat me in the artistic.

One thing about this move that is making me feel better is the fact that two of my best rink friends are moving with me. We shared the same coach, so when she retired, we needed to find a new one and somehow, we all are winding up in Colorado together. Fortunately, we all can get a flat together, or I guess I should say apartment now.

My friends have already been in Colorado for a week setting up the apartment, I just wasn't quite ready to leave England yet. I'm really excited for this next step in my career, this season is my season to win.

"Flight attendants, prepare for landing please" the pilot muffled over the speakers.

I looked out the window at the mountains as the plane descended. This is it; this is my season. Louis may be a great skater, but I skate because I love it, and this year I am going to show the world.

I hope you liked the first chapter of my new story. I know I took a very very long break, so I'm excited to write again. My upload schedule is going to be weird, SAT's and all, but I will try and get some more out as soon as I can.

Have a great day
