Your POV

I called Mari to come to my room since I need someone to talk to. My heart is telling me to forgive him but something is telling me to hold back.

"(F/n) It's me let me in. I brought some pizza and it's your favorite." I got up and open the door and see her with a large pizza as well as two sodas.

"Well I'm sure your hungry we try to find you after the short skate today but you disappeared." She said as I didn't answer her.

"What's wrong?"

"Its nothing."

"Really... 'Its nothing'... after all this time that's the best thing to hide what really hurting you." She said as she places the pizza on the bed.

"Listen I know something's wrong when you ask for pizza. It's sorta like your comfort food when it's not pirosky. So speak up I'll listen and won't judge you about it." She said as she sat on the bed. She patted the spot next to her telling me to sit. I did what she asked yet I don't know if I telling her about the problem I'm having can be solved.

"So tell me what's wrong." I took a deep breath and looked at her. I told her everything that happen. My feelings towards Yuri to how he mention I was a 'stepping stone' to him. As well when seeing his agape and him apologizing at the door.

"I see so that's why your like this. Your confused and lost about all this. If you ask me I think you should give him a chance to talk to him. Talk things through without anyone else to interrupt you two. If he went out of his way to come and apologize to you that means something. If he actually means that you were a stepping stone he wouldn't have come here to ask for your forgiveness." She said as she grabs a slice pizza.

"The thing is I don't know if I should talk to him. I want to talk with Yuri but something inside of me is telling me not to. My heart hurts every time we look at each other. It hurt right now to know I may have pushed him away and I can't get him back now. He'll hate me for being such a stubborn idiot and it's all my fault. I don't know what to do Mari?!" I began to cry as I feel her hug me.

"It's alright I got you... listen if you don't know how to say it then skate what you feel about him. The free skate story is about a girl finding love right? Then skate it with your own feelings and show him what he means to you." She said as she wiped my tears.

"But w-what if-f he doesn't go-o tomorrow?" I try to say but in my state, it was hard to say full sentences.

"Don't worry I'm sure he'll go. Now here drink this and I'll be back with some water." She said as she got up and left me alone.

'Can I really skate like she asked me to?'

Yuri POV

I got up and check the time it was bearly noon. I check to see if (F/n) called or texted me but there was none. I really messed up all because I didn't tell Yakov the truth. I got up and did my normal morning routine. Once I was done I try to call her but it went to voicemail. I went down to get something to eat but I ran into Otabek.

"Oh, Yuri what's up?" I just sigh.

"Nothing" he seems to know what's wrong cause what he said was the truth.

"Let me guess she didn't see you." I nodded as he sighs.

"You know I saw her with her brother and sister today. It was after she did morning practice. If you want I can find out where she is right now." I shook my head. We began walking to the coffee shop nearby.

"I think she really doesn't want anything to do with me and it's all my fault. All because I wanted to keep it a secret from Yakov." I said as I reach the shop.

"Yuuuriii~" I hear someone call me and see Mila and Georgi.

"Woah what's wrong with you? You look like someone died." She said as I looked down.

"Alright what's wrong what did you do to make you feel like the end of the world is here." She asked as I looked away.

"It's about (F/n) isn't it?" She asked as I didn't say anything.

"You should know that she's been acting weird ever since yesterday. Even moring practice she made a lot of mistakes. I'm really worried about her and she started acting like that after the short skate. So what happened between the two of you?" She demands this time as didn't answer.

"Yuri Pletsetsky answer me!! What did you say to her to make her act this way!" She yelled as I didn't look at her.

"She cried after seeing your short skate Yuri and left after that. Whatever you did to make her cry fix it." She said as she walked away.

"Don't worry Yuri Mila just cares about her like a sister. Most of the skaters care about her like that so everyone tends to worry about her a lot." Georgi said as I couldn't believe how much of an effect I did on her.

"Otabek do you think you can find out where they are?" I asked as he smiled and took his phone out.

'I have to make things right and fast.'

Your POV

You were relaxing in your room until your phone rang. You checked to see who it was and saw it was Otabek. Yet you were unsure to answer him.

'He s probably alone I don't need to be careful all the time.'

"Hello"

"Hey where are you at? I was wondering if you want to hang out before your free skate."

"I'm at my room resting a bit before I get ready. So  I can't hang out with you right now."

"Oh okay... hey did you and Yuri have a fight or something? He seems really off since your short skate."

"Otabek I don't want to talk about it right now. I need to go I'll see you later today."

"Alright but if you want to talk about it. You know I'm here to listen."

"Thank bye." I hung up on him before he could say bye.

'I making everyone worry I don't want them to worry.' I went to take a nice warm shower to relax my muscle.

'Its not like the hot springs but it's still nice.' Once I was done I covered myself with a towel and dryer my body. After putting some undergarments and some pants and a tank top on. I began to dry my hair and make sure to apply some heat protection before flat ironing.

"Hey open up it's us." I put the blow-dryer down and went to open the door for Minako and Mari.

"Wow very nice room," Minako said as she looked around.

"Thank you."

"Here let me help you with your hair," Minako said as she grabs the flat iron and smiled.

"Alright."

Yuuri POV

"Viktor is it me or is (F/n) acting a bit strange since she last talk to Yurio?" I asked as we waited in our room.

"She has been avoiding him since that day. The thing I'm worried about now is her performance for today. Will she be able to skate her best?" He question and I began to worry as well.

"I don't know."

Time skip

Otabek POV

I was walking around hoping to find (F/n) so we can talk before she goes to do warm-ups. I know something's wrong when she hangs up before I say goodbye I'm worried about her so maybe a few words of confidence will help her.

"Otabek what are you doing here?" I found her standing with Viktor and her brother. Her outfit looked amazing and her hair looks perfect. Her natural beauty makes her even purer than any person I have ever seen.

"I came to see you and make sure your alright," I said as she smiled. That smile even now I still fall for her smile. Yet I know she doesn't feel the same for me.

"Listen to me... when you go out there skate with no regrets. Leave everything on the ice your heart and soul. Even the feelings you have right now. Give them something that no one would ever forget." I said as she nodded.

"Right thanks Otabek for everything." She began to walk but I grabbed her arm.

"Also you need to talk with Yuri he's blaming himself for what he did to you." She seems to be fighting herself if she should but she looked back up.

"Tell him to 'watch me and you'll find the truth of how I feel." She smiled and removed my hand from hers.

"My true feelings are in my free skate and if watches he'll get my message what I want to tell him." She said and began to walk.

'Has she always been this strong?'

Your POV

After talking to Otabek I reached my brother and Viktor. They seem a bit worried but I could feel they wanted to go say something.

"Go on say what's on your mind."

"Are you sure can skate?" Yuuri asked as I nodded.

"I'm close to achieving what I came here to do. I'm not backing down." I said as looked at them.

"Are you sure you hardly landed your jumps in practice today?"

"Yes, I didn't know until now I found out what is in my heart. And I want the whole world to see it." He sighs and pulled me into a hug.

"Then don't hold back. Skate your program the way you want to skate it." I smiled and hugged him back.

Ladies the warm-up will begin in 10 minutes. Please make your way to the rink.

I went to get my skates and tied them well and covered them up. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths calming my heart.

'Yuri I hope you get my message.'

Yuri POV

I was sitting where I sat yesterday after the short skate. I sigh since Lilia said I need to be here even if she's not talking to me.

"Hey Yuri."

"Hey Otabek." He sat next to me as the women went for their warm-up. I saw her red outfit and see her focus.

"Yuri I went to talk with her and she passed a message to you," Otabek said as I got surprised she sent a message.

"What did she say?!" I ask shaking him like crazy.

"She said 'watch me and you'll find the truth of how I feel.' I don't know what she means but I guess her free skate has the answer your looking for." He said while removing my hands from him.

"Uh right... thanks, Otabek." He patted my head and smiled.

"What are friends for."

Ladies the warm-up has now ended please make your way to the exit so we can begin.

They all got out except China's skater. I followed to see her skate to Viktor and place her guards. They walked to the back my guess to warm up at least until it's her turn.

'What does she mean I'll find the truth of how she feels?'

Time skip

Your POV

I was skating after Sara and right now she's waiting for Mila to finish her free skate. And by the crowds' response, she has truly won the crowds love.

'I have to stay calm I need to stay calm.' I got up and began to do some splits. Somehow this calms me down enough to think clearly again. Once I calm down I practice the step sequence. At least until I need to put my skates on.

"(F/n) Its time," Viktor said as I nodded and went to grab my skates. I tied them up and checked to make sure they weren't lose or tight.

"Viktor I want to say thank you for everything you've done for me this past few months. I got to say you would make an amazing coach with more practice."

"It sounds like your going to leave." I just smiled and didn't say anything. I want to surprise him and everyone. Once were pass the curtain I saw Sara finishing up her program. Meaning it's time to show what everything I got.

'If this is the last time I get to skate with Viktor as my coach. I want to skate at the same level as Viktor and Veleta.' I took my guards off and gave them to Yuuri and skated to where Viktor was.

"Listen I didn't plan to say this to you but I know Veleta may have told you. No matter the score you get I'll still be proud of you. Cause you have changed the way people see you all on your own. And I can't be any more prouder than I am today." He said as he hugged me and I did hug him back tightly as I can.

"Now go and do your best." He said as I smile and nodded.

I skated towards the middle and got into place. I looked at the crowd and I saw Yuri sitting next to Otabek and Lilia.

'Mom.. dad... Viktor, Yuuri, Mari, Minako, everyone, and Yuri... watch this.'

Yuri POV

When she started to skate something was different. Almost like I got transported to a different world. My heart began to feel warm just seeing her skate to the music.

'(F/n)... this story your telling it means more to you.'

That look it makes it hard to look away when she's searching for something. As she gains speed she went for her quad toe loop and then triple Lutz and...triple axel?

'Wait she changed her jumps? Why change them now?' She did some twists and turns one leg beautifully. I can't look away from her even as went to ina Bauer.

"Wow I know she's was struggling earlier today but it looks like something change," Emil said as I couldn't look away. At that moment our eyes met and she smiled making my heartbeat skip.

'Wait... was it my imagination?' as I got lost in her program again.  She went for a spread eagle to quad Lutz but instead it was a quad flip and triple Lutz and triple toe loop.

"I don't think she's done look." As I looked she went for a quads lutz and a triple Lutz with one arm up in the air.

"Amazing she landed them!" She went for her last jump combinations a quad toe loop and a triple axel with both arms up. As she went for her last combination spin she surprised everyone with another quad flip and went into a cannonball spin to a sit spin then to a Y spin and to an I spin. The speed of her spin was amazing and yet so graceful.

"Amazing she's truly outshined all the girls today," Lilia said as wipe her tears. (F/n) finished it off with her hands in front of her and her eyes closed. The crowd cheered and many threw stuff animals to the ice. She fell on her knees my guess her body was exhausted after today's skate. She began to shake and cover her face meaning she crying now.

'(F/n) I think I understand what you were feeling... I just hope that means you forgive me as well.'

Your POV

I did it that was harder than I thought it be. I got back up and bowed to everyone. I saw a little girl waving so went up to her and she gave me stuff animal. I smiled and thanked her as I looked at it. It was so cute that I couldn't stop smiling.

As I reach the opening Yuuri gave me my guards and we headed to the kiss and cry. One of the kid skaters came and gave me another stuffed animal of a... well I guess a fox or raccoon. As well as some flowers and other stuff animals.

'I hope Yuri got my message... if not I don't know what to do.'

Now announcing skater (F/n) Katsuki score for the free skate. Her score is 151.05 she has placed a new world record for the free skate. Her combination is a total of 251.00 putting her in first place.

'Is this really happening I place a new world record.' I was so in shock that I felt someone hugging me.

"You did it you won gold!!" Yuuri said as I smiled and hugged him back. When we separated I got up and bowed to Viktor.

"Viktor thank for everything and for being my coach and teaching me to be a better skater."

"To be honest I should be thanking you for letting me coach you. So thank little ice princess or should I say, ice queen." He said as I blushed and smiled.

"Whatever you like to call me Viktor."

Yuri POV

As the gave out the medals (F/n) won her first gold for women's senior division. Ai Chun in sliver and Mila with bronze. I smiled being happy that she had won gold in her first year. As we got up I knew I need to talk with her. I don't care what anybody says or if I ruin my career or image. I just want to be by her side again even if she doesn't trust me again.
