Warmth And Coldness

Chapter 27

I finally arrived at the training facility. I was lucky that Japan even let me represent them. Knowing my background it's probably my advantage

I waited at the bench while Madam Lilia had to arrange a few paperwork. I decided to open my gift. I slowly opened and saw it was a small teddy bear Keychain

I sat there on the bench when a boy with glasses sat beside me. He seems to be also from Japan with facial features.

He noticed that I was staring at him for too long that he got uncomfortable

"Uhmmmm Hello?" he spoke

"Are you from Japan??" I asked him

He smiled finally hearing a familiar language

"Yes, Hi I'm Katsuki Yuri" he introduced himself while bowing his head

"I'm Honda Yukio" I said smiling

"Wait your the one also representing Japan in the women division?" he said I nodded

"Well isn't this a coincidence team Japan together" We both looked at the owner of the voice which was Coach Celestino

We both bowed politely

"Don't be like that from now on I'll be your coach and I hope you work hard to get in grand prix" he smiled

I went on the rink feeling a wave of nostalgia. All my childhood it was spent here in this arena filled with ice

~

"You need to do better" my mother scolded me

I started skating when I was 3. All my nightmares started when I was 3. My mother is one of the greatest figure skaters in the whole world. She ended her career when she had me

So now I'm living under her fallen career. When I started walking she immediately put me in the rink. Even how many times I fall she never helped me

I had to learn by myself

"Sister I think your being too hard on her" Victor he is my uncle but slightly older than me we have a 9 year age gap

"She needs to learn to skate I learned how to skate much younger than her"

"But she's only 5!" Victor yelled I whimpered feeling the bruises in my knees from falling

"And you're only 14. What do you know? You skated younger than her? Why are you being so soft on her"

"Because she needs the love and care that she deserves!"

"SHUT UP, Stop crying girl!" my mother then pulled me back up and forced me to do my routine

Years later I became what she wanted. Perfection at the age of 10 I broke her record. Instead being a proud mother she became jealous and used her anger on me

"I'm better than you little brat!" she yelled slapping me across my face

Alone at our house she beaten me up whenever she can

"What happened to you?" Victor asked me with pity in his eyes. I sat down while he braided my hair

"I fell down in the rink face first" I lied

"I know you make the most perfect jumps you never fall down and if you ever fall down I know you can control your fall" he reasoned out

"Well I wasn't feeling myself that day" I said

"Is sister hurting you?" he asked I could hear his voice breaking

"No mother isn't like that. She hates me but she isn't like that. I know deep down she cares about me" I was only 10 lying to myself that mother has any love left for me

Now I know she never cared. She never loved me, not even once she showed me love. Never once I simply gave up chasing her love.

But this time it was too much

I just won my first junior grand prix cup. This was the one that went out of line. My mother went a full tantrum when I fell down at my jump but despite that I still won

"What 's first place? This brat fell down!! She can't be first place! She then snatched my medal then threw away my trophy" she yelled everyone is staring

"Mom please stop"

"Don't call me that. I'm not your mother your never my child"

"That's a relief! Because I never want to end up like you! Heartless wench! You've never been my mother!!" I yelled

She simply stayed silent and left. I felt a little guilty then ran towards her. When I got near she slapped me across my face as I fell down. I couldn't help but cry. No one dared to approach me

Until I saw Victor rushing towards me. Giving me a hug of reassurance

"Oh my Victoria are you alright" as he held my face filled with tears brimming,

"Uncle Vitya....." my sobs grew louder so the only thing Victor did was carrying me in his arms like a child

"I didn't mean to yell at her I'm sorry" I sobbed at his ear

When we got home Vitya placed me on the chair while he was going through the rooms searching for mom. I heard a loud bang I immediately saw him on the floor shocked

I tried helping him but he immediately covered my eyes

"Let's go to my house" he said

"Uncle Vitya, why are you covering my eyes??" I asked

"It's because I have a surprise for you. We will celebrate your championship!! I'm really proud of you"

"Uncle Vitya, I'm not a kid!!"

"You are to me now let's go" Then he carried me I caught a glimpse of legs dangling

We went to my favourite restaurant. Vitya was calling someone then I saw madam Lilia and Yakov. I smiled when I saw them

"Hey there kiddo? How are you??" I looked at him cluelessly while Lilia snarled at him

"I called so we could celebrate!" Vitya spoke I smiled excitedly and ate spaghetti

Madam Lilia wiped the sauce on my face "tch little girl it's so messy" she scolded

"I'm sorry"

"Are you still hungry, do you want dessert?" she asked

"Yes!!"
