Connection on ice (BL)

Chapter one: the Competition - Oliver

        I'm Oliver. I'm a famous ice skater who lives in New York City and I'm at a meet here in New York. I have 2 coaches, Leo and Jack. They are the only ones I have. I walk into the competition around 6 am other ice skaters are there and Leo is too but no one else not even Jack yet the real meat starts at 1 pm but everybody gets there early to make sure what they are doing for the day I go to the changing room I have my shirt made to fit me and I think it looks good all of my shirts are long sleeve and I have Leo zip up the back for me and then I put my jacket on and I get on the ice and I start skating to make sure it is how I like it. Then we got to lunch the meet sponsored some restaurant for food and it was good I didn't eat much though that's okay I was scared and around 9 am Jack got there. He didn't say anything to me looked at me then walked over to the coach's room and I didn't say any other so he was probably mad at me. After a little bit, there is more practice, but more people are here arriving, so they announce it to me this time.

    They call me out "Oliver" Lee People scream like the ocean waves. I have one air pod in so I can still hear what is happening. I step on the ice, the blade on my shoe on the ice whipping and sliding around. I don't care what's happening around me. Me and the other skaters are on the ice for around 10 minutes till they call time. I step off the ice next to my coach Jack Leo and the rest of my team they are cheering me on I'm excited I hug Leo and shake Jack's hand we sit and watch 2 performances before they call me on " Now on the ice Oliver Lee'' everybody is screaming then the music starts I look at my coaches then I start I do some jumps and spins but then it was for the main part the triple axel. If I can land this, I could win and put me on the leaderboard. I feel my feet lift off the ground and like I'm flying again my body spins then I land it perfectly.

 I LANDED IT. When I was done, I skated off of the ice as people were throwing flowers and other gifts. I put my jacket on and walked into the locker room. Everybody was so happy with me and cheering my name. It made me feel loved at that moment. I was smiling. I got an energy drink out of my bag and walked back out and watched the rest of the performances. I think they all did great. As they called the names, they called my name for 1st place I won I was so happy I stood on top feeling great. I was number one.

Later that night we went out to eat the food. It tasted great but I felt like I was going to throw up. Leo noticed something was not right. He asked me and I just said that I needed to go to the bathroom. I get up and walk to the door that says men's room. I walk in and I run to the biggest stall. I held my hair in one hand and started throwing up. No one was in the bathroom with me, so I felt fine. But then I felt someone's hand grab my hair out of my hand and rub my back. I didn't know who it was. I finished throwing up then I looked over. I saw Leo sitting on the ground next to me. He let go of my hair but was still rubbing my back and he hugged me. I just started to cry in his arms. I'm almost lying in his lap. He has been my coach for over 4 years. I know him pretty well. He knows I used to struggle with mental health in the past. We sat there for around 5 minutes just crying in his arms. I felt safe with him. We pulled away from the hug at the same time. I still had some tears coming from my eyes. He wipes the tears off my cheeks, pulling my long hair out of my face. He pulled up my sleeve on my arm. I didn't realize it fell and he saw my cuts and didn't say anything.

He gets up grabs my hand pulls me up and says we should probably go, people, are probably wondering where we are we have been in here for like 20 minutes I say okay and I walk to the sink and wash out the faint taste of puke still left in my mouth then grabbed tape out of my pocket and I retape my shirt so it didn't fall anymore Leo stepped up and said Ollie can I help you and grabs the tape and tapes the rest down I smile and say thank you then we walk out together everyone has left expect for jack he asked where we have been I said I had some stomach problems he jack said ok then we all walk to the car we walked around the back and the windows and tinted so no one could see it was me in the car I hop in the back seat and hand and Leo get in the front I can't remember the last time I rode in the front seat of a car it's ok though I get to stay quote I don't want to talk tonight anymore. Leo and I live in the same apartment building just on different floors. Jack drops us off. I thank him and get out of the car with Leo.
