A/N Hi! This is Maddie: CheshireCatLife. Just wanted to say welcome! And, also, this will probably be the shortest chapter of the book so don't judge by length (I often do XD). But, without further ado, here's 'Cursed Rings'!

He had failed. Well, not quite. He had done the one thing he said he wouldn't do- fail Viktor. He had won silver, not gold. And now, here he was, in front of his now former coach, trying not to cry.

'Yuri, maybe you were right.' Viktor sighed, gazing down at the floor. Yuri's eyes widened as he looked up in surprise, focusing on Viktor's faded smile.

'W-what do you mean, V-Viktor?' He stuttered, unable to comprehend the man's words. Viktor's icy blue eyes met Yuri's chocolate ones and Yuri could see a thing. The once glistening, bright eyes were dull: lifeless. There was no joy, no love. Nothing.

'I think it's time we ended this, Yuri. I'm going to return to skating. The marriage, let's just put it on hold...for now.' Viktor stated, his voice cold and emotionless. Yuri stepped backs, shocked. He couldn't believe this was happening.

'W-what?' His voice broke and his throat burned, the tears already welling in his eyes. He hadn't been expecting this, especially not from Viktor.

Viktor had cared about him or so he thought. He had loved Viktor and he thought Viktor had loved him back. It seemed that he was wrong.

'Yuri, you heard what I said. I'll come back, though. I won't leave forever. I love you' Yuri held in the tears. He didn't understand; he couldn't understand.

Sadness overwhelmed him along with the rising anger inside of him. 'Why? Why are you leaving in the first place!' He wanted to shout, he couldn't. He couldn't find it within himself to shout. He still loved Viktor not matter how much he was breaking his heart.

Viktor stared at him, surprised. He hadn't seen Yuri like this before. He hadn't ever seen Yuri enraged or even angry. Irritated, maybe but this was different. This was new.

'Why, Viktor? What did I do to deserve you leaving like this? Is it because I got silver? Is it because I didn't get gold? Well, if that's so, just leave. I'll talk to you again when I'm ready.' Tears now flowed from his eyes. People stared but he didn't care, he was too caught up in his sorrow to care.

Viktor was about to speak but Yuri cut him off; he didn't want to hear any more. 'I said leave, Viktor.' He gritted his teeth and when Viktor didn't leave, he took it into his own hands and left himself, pushing Viktor and the others out of the way.

He didn't care what they thought of him anymore. They could go to hell for all he cared.

A month had passed now but Yuri still remembered it so clearly. His hair had grown out a bit and was now strewn messily across his head. He had bags under his eyes and his once chubby body was skinny now since he barely ate. He let out a sigh and continued typing.

Here he sat, typing away at his computer, his email open.

It was time he said the truth.
