Pain to Love

Chapter 16: Icy Turns

Not my art ☺

Today was friday and we are going skating after school. I was really excited my dedushka talked about it all the time during the Olympics.
(A/N:Victor wasn't in the Olympics which is why Yuri didn't know who he was) so I was always interested but I knew that I was pushing my luck by being in ballet so I never asked. Now I had the chance to try it with amazing people. Its moments like this that I want to run and stay with them but I knew if I did they would get hurt or in trouble.
"Are you excited?" Otabek asked
"Huh?"
"What were you thinking about?"
"Ah sorry, I was just spacing out"
"Mm, anyway are you excited?"
"Yup I can't wait! But to be completly honest I haven't skated before."
"That's okay I'll teach you "
I smile and nod I see my sister behind Otabek and freeze 'did she hear!?'
She just walked by with no expression.
'She - she didn't hear? O-or is she fakeing it what if she-' Otabek interrupted my thoughts "Yura? You okay?" He looked behind him and saw nothing "I-Im fine Beka let's go" we walk to class through out the begining of the day I was jumpy. Evil thoughts pleaged my mind but Otabek calmed those thoughts. In my head 'nothing can harm me otabek will protect me' but I still had a sick feeling inside deep deep down my fear grew.

Taimusukippu!!!!

We finished school and Victor, Otabek, and I drove to their house to pick up Yuuri. Yuuri had a bag with four pairs of skates. "I put a pair of my old ones that should fit you." I nodded and responded "thank you Yuuri"
"It is no problem"
We finally got their and started to put on our skates.
Victor and Yuuri were the first one the ice hand and hand skating around the ring. Otabek stood up "ready?" He reached his hand out for mine. I blush at the gesture. I take his hand, he pulls me up. We walk to the ice and Otabek gets on letting go of my hand and started doing turns and spins it was so beautiful. I look down at the ice 'how do I even do this?!' Otabek must have seen my struggle the next thing I know, Otabek was in front of me. "Here, hold on to my arms. I'll guide you."
I did as he said and my skates touched the ice as he pulled me in. I glided as Otabek skated. "Now just push off with your feet." I did and we had a bolt of speed I blushed and smiled "keep going I'll guide you just put us in motion"
I keep pushing

Our speed picked up I started to smile. My eye had never left my feet, but it was so mesmerizing. "Yura, look up." I looked up and looked right in his eyes. Everything Yuuri had said, I felt it, in my mind it was just me and otabek. Everything faded he smiled and said "let's spin!" I nodded and then he pulled me close by the waist and turned around and started spinning. My hands wrapped around his neck and started laughing. "Haha Wooo" he slowed down and lowered me to the ice. I just giggle "that was so awesome!!"
He chluckled "what to go again?"
My eyes got big and sparkeled
"Can you teach me how to spin?"
"Of course"

Time skip b/c idk how to explain this aaaannnnndddddd 🙃

After a while I think I got the hang of it. I skated a bit and did a spin it was so fun but when I stopped I felt a little dizzy. Otabek came to me and put his hand on my arm. "That was really good Yura!"
Victor and Yuuri came up next.
"Your a natural Yurio" Victor said and scruffed up my hair. This caused me to giggle "haha thank-"
"YURI PILETSKY!"
My face loses all color I look and see my stepmother standing at the end of the rink.
I quickly get out of the rink and take the skates off. I was putting my shoes on when she came up to me.
"Going out without my permission! I should ground you! In fact you are grounded one week no friends, nothing!"
"Ma'am he was in safe hands we were going to return him home at a proper hour." Yuuri was trying to help but I knew that it was useless.
"I don't care I should have known about it besides he should be studying No. Distractions. Yuri come on"
"Yes ma'am" my voice was weak I was embarrassed, she was treating me this way in front of them.
"THATS NOT FAIR! Yura is a good kid and works hard! He deserves some fun in his life." I stared in fear never has anyone spoke like that to my step mother other than me but even I rarely do it
"Yura? Honestly yuri you hang with someone who gives you such a stupid name tch come on let's go home."
I snapped Otabek doesn't deserve to hear stuff like that.
"I-it isn't stupid. I like that name you can't speak like that in front of my friends."
Silence my adrenaline was rushing 'what is she going to do?!'
Finally she spoke "Well it seems these 'friends' are an awful influence. You are not allowed to hang around them or at least not talk to them."
I was shocked what do I say? What could I say? One more word she might take me out of school altogether.
"Now come on we are going home!"
I nod "yes ma'am" we walk away I look back and see Otabek looking sad that hit me deep in the heart. Victor and Yuuri looked conflicted, probably thinking what they could do.

They can't do anything, I'm on my own.
