I was right. I did injure Victor with my skates. It was my worst fear. Once off the ice, paramedics came and took Victor to check his injury. Polina and I waited for the scores in the Kiss and Cry area. We managed to defend our title.

Once I was in the dressing room, I took my skates off and started to pack up everything. "You still need to get your medal Katerina," Polina told me. "I don't think I can," I told her. She gave me a concerned look and pulled me into a hug.

"Victor will be fine. Tell you what, I'll get your medals on your behalves okay," she told me. I gave her a nod. She turned the television on and there was a recording of me injuring Victor. I could feel tears in my eyes.

{What have I done?}

I knew that I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.

"Katerina."

It had been a few days since the competition. From what I had heard, Victor had to be taken to the hospital for the injury. It made me feel worse than ever before. Since I came back home, I stayed in my room. My parents were come in and comfort me.

Knock...knock....

I heard the door open.

"Katerina."

Slowly, I lift my head up to see my parents who looked very concerned for me. They walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. "We got a call from Victor's parents. He will be out of the hospital in a few days. Overall, he is going to be fine," they told me.

The news didn't really make me feel any better.

"There is something else too," father told me. I looked up at him. "We are moving in a few days to England. It's due to my work. You know that already. We bought a house there last week. You will love it there. Do you understand?" he explained to me softly.

{We are moving....}

I felt some relief. in a way, I could run away from here for a while. The stress and worry was too much for me right now. Mother rubbed my back that was very soothing. "Everything will be alright. This move would be good for you," she said to me. I gave her a nod.

It would be a new start for me.

Few days later.....

"Ladies and Gentleman. This is your flight attendant speaking. We are in our final descent please put your seats in an upright position and fasten your seat belts. Thank you for flying British Airways. We hope to see you again very soon."

"We are almost there," Ivan said with a bit of excitement. He had been trying to cheer me up. I really appreciated him to help me be happy again. We sat at a window seat while our parents were sitting at the aisle seat.

I looked out of the window to see the runway in the distance. Next thing I knew, the plane shook quite a bit. {This is not normal.} I looked at my brother to see that he had the same look. We knew that something didn't seem right.
