Spinning unitl i fall (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1: Summer is over

People have always said to me your  time will come, rest, don't rush anything and i believed that but when it came to my passions there wasn't anything that was going to get in my way. 

Life hasn't always been easy for me as I like to say i have given up so much to give up on my first failure towards my dream. Figure skating has been the focus of my life since i was 3 years old, every time i didn't knew how to express my emotions skating would always be my mechanism. For this past 13 years all i wanted to do is make the olympic team but i guess things don't always go your way, right?

I have this dream where i'm skating in this arena for  nationals  all the lights are on me the pressure to score higher and higher each program, i'm wearing a purple dress and i'm about to try a triple axel i can hear my own heartbeat i'm in the air and then i just fall on my ankle and my skate starts to bleed and i hear my mother coming to my aid screaming Emily! My breath hyperventilating and the feeling of dizziness  as she gets closer her voice starts to slowly fade away.

That's when i wake up and realised that was not a dream but the trauma i have to start to live with.

That night i broke my ankle and doctors told me that they where high chances i couldn't skate again if i didn't heal properly SIX MONTHS before i could go back on the ice again.

I wanted to die not only i felt my olympic dreams where over but the question of whether if after the six months i was ever going to be  as good as i once was, what was i without my skates? Did i have any other passions, Skating is or was my everything. 

Today is my first day of school, for the past 5 years have been studying through online classes with constant competitions i needed to organize my priorities and decided that would be the best fit.

But after the injury  my parents decided that i needed to try to be a Teen for once and enjoy at least some of it, they'd figured this time could help me oxygenate and maybe find a new passion maybe some new  friends .

I hated the idea of never skating again but i had to face the facts. All of my friends where skaters so needless to say sophomore year was going to have a rough start.

I don't remember the last time I went into a school classroom i felt as everyone's eyes where on me just skaning me;  black hair, green eyes, tall, her eyes filled with lost where the thoughts running through my head.

I had Mr. Smith Ap Literature for first period he seemed like a wise man. And then the moment I feared the introduction came he said

" Hey guys! attention here please this is Emily Davis, this is her first day so please give a warm welcome,"

quickly told me to share something about myself the first thing that popped into my head was skating but the idea of this was a clean start so instead i went with

" Hi everyone, ummmm i really don't know what to say"

I felt nervous until i saw a dark haired boy mouth

" it's okay, breathe"

i don't know him or think i've ever seen him before in my life but there was just something about his bright green eyes that made me feel safe in a way i had always dreamt.

Hey guys!
