I Broke the Ice/ Ongoing(On Hold)

Chapter 2: Hazel

~Hazel~

We got to the skating rink and while I went to get a table Victor went to get us skates. Victor came to the table handing me my skates.

"I got a size 7 because you forgot to tell me your size so I just guessed," he said.

"You guessed correctly."

"Do you know how to get them laced up?"

"Nope."

"Let me get mine and then I'll help you with yours."

"Ok," I said. As soon as he got done lacing up his skates he came over to lase mine up. When he got done I thanked him and I tried to get up but fell as soon as I got up. Before I could hit the ground though a strong pair of arms caught me.

"Easy, love, next time get up slowly so that you don't fall."

"I definitely will because I don't want to fall."

I got up slowly this time and I thankfully didn't fall. Victor took my hand and started guiding me to the ice. He makes his way onto the ice first. He then grabs both my hands and says, "Slowly, love, remember we don't want you to fall."

"I know."

He laughed as I got on the ice. I was trying to find my balance but it didn't work and I fell flat on my ass. "Ouch," I winced.

"I told you to go slow."

"I did, I just don't have the best balance I guess," I said, shrugging my shoulders.

"Then you have to learn that first."

He helped me up onto my feet and took me over to the wall. I almost fell again but thankfully I didn't. when we made it to the wall he said, "OK so the wall will be there to help with balance so let's go around once with the wall and after if you feel comfortable with it we will go around once without the wall. And I'll be right by your side in case you fall, again."

"Hey, I didn't mean to fall."

He laughed, "I'm just joking, love."

I just laughed.

We started skating. I held onto the wall and Victor was right beside me just like he said he would be. Halfway through the loop, I let go of the wall to see if I could balance, and surprisingly I could.

"Look Victor, I'm keeping my balance."

"Good now, focus so that you don't fall."

"Ok."

We made it the whole loop and I didn't fall. We then made a loop around again but this time without the wall. I thankfully didn't fall during that loop either.

"I'm a pro," I said jokingly.

"Oh really?" Victor said in a challenging tone and a smirk spread across his face, "Can you do this then?"

He then went out and did a spin and jumped in the air and landed without falling.

"Show off, and no I can't do that. Also, when did you become a figure skater." I said jokingly about the last sentence.

"I play hockey as you know because your father is the coach. But my sister is a figure skater and I practice with her sometimes because it makes me better at hockey."

"Ok if you say so."

We were skating for about an hour but we had to go because it was getting a little late and I told my mom that I'd be home for dinner. Victor drove me home which was a long drive. When we got into the car he put the keys in the car and then put one hand on the wheel and one on my thigh. I was very confused about why he did that because we are only fake dating but I didn't ask because I liked it. I liked the whole day today because he wasn't his usual jerky self. I actually had fun with him. I must have been lost in my thoughts because when we came up to a red light I heard Victor saying my name a couple of times until I got out of my thoughts and looked at him.

"Ya?" I said.

"Are you ok?"

"Ya I'm just tired and I was just lost in my mind."

"Ok, I just wanted to make sure we will be at your house in 20 minutes."

"Ok also thanks for taking me to go skating and thanks for teaching me how to skate."

"It was no problem. I always thought that you would know how to skate, it seems like your dad is the hockey coach."

"Well, I never took interest in skating until today. Now I know how fun it is."

"Ya, it really is fun."

The light turned green. I looked back out the window now not being able to be lost in my maze of a mind. I was getting a little anxious from the silence and I noticed that Victor had rings on his hand so I decided to fidget with them. He didn't take his hand away when I did so I kept playing with them. It only felt like 5 minutes but when I looked up from his hand we were pulling into my driveway. Victor insisted that he should walk me to the door so I just let him. We got up to the front door."

"Thanks again."

"No problem, love, it was fun."

He then kissed me on the cheek.

"See you tomorrow at school." He said walking away.

"Ya see you tomorrow Vic."

I walked into the house and went upstairs to my room. I looked in my mirror at myself. I have chestnut brown hair and my eyes are a gray color. My nose is little and my ears have like 8 ear piercings in each one. My body is curvy and I actually like my body, unlike some girls. I am not too skinny but not too big either. 'I like my body' is what I tell myself in the mirror every day, not at any certain time but I do it and it's true. I don't like to brag about it but I'm honestly very happy in my body. Sadly I have a fast metabolism and it is hard for me to gain weight and if I don't eat then I will lose a lot. I'm only 100 pounds and I'm a junior in high school and I'm 5'5 That isn't too bad other than people wanting to have my body. It is a little annoying to hear people say that I'm lucky.

I walk downstairs and my mom is in the dining room setting the table. I quickly start helping her when I see her. When we are done setting the table we get our food and of course, my dad has already started getting his food like always. Then I get my food second and my mom gets hers last. It's just a routine in our house now.

"Sooo, who were you hanging out with Hazel?" my mom asked curiously.

"Victor, why?"

"Just curious because you usually only hang out with Kenna and Novah and they usually come and pick you up."

"Victor as team captain of my hockey team?" my dad questions.

"That is quite literally the only Victor I know so yes."

"It was just a sweet question."

"So what did yall do?" my mom asked.

"We went ice skating. It was actually fun and he taught me how to skate and I only fell 2 times the first time he caught me but the second time it was too late for him to catch me." I kind of started to ramble.

"That sounds fun and he sounds sweet." my mom stated.

I got done with my food and went to clean my dish then after I went to my room. I was in my room for a couple of minutes and then I went to take a shower. I grabbed my speaker and a towel and went to my bathroom. I turned the water on and I let the hot water run while I connected my phone to my speaker and when I got done I turned the cold water on a little to make it a little warm but still hot. Then I stripped and got in the shower. I took a 30-minute shower and was procrastinating about getting out but I had to. I turned the water off and wrapped my hair and body in a towel. I grabbed my phone and went to my room. I sat in there for 20 minutes in my towel scrolling through Instagram. I then change into a pair of sweats and a sports bra as a shirt.

I lay down and start scrolling through TikTok to go to bed. I end up going to bed at 10:30.
