The Grand Prix Final

Time:Marseille, France 

December 8-11, 2016 

The night after Yuzuru's birthday, the four of us had to head out immediately to France for the Grand Prix Final

The competition I haven't won since my downfall after Sochi

"Yuzu-kun, I'm really nervous" I tell him as we walk hand in hand throughout the Marseille Airport 

"You don't need to be Charlie-chan. I believe you can land the quad sal" he says giving my hand a squeeze of reassurance 

"I really hope you're right" I reply

The two of us follow Javi and Coach into a cab where we ride in silence to our hotel 

I think we're all too nervous to say anything

I mean, this IS the Grand Prix final we're talking about. It's the last competition of the fall season and the competition we've all been training our hardest to win. I won't let Evgenia take this title. Not with the quad sal in my arsenal 

I think Yuzuru's got the most pressure on him. Like last season, he set the total score record to 330.43 which rose the bar to the point where even he's finding it hard to beat 

We make it to the hotel and the lobby is packed with skaters; how it usually is when there's a competition going on 

"Alright guys, go find your passes while I sign in" Coach says and we watch as he slips from out small group of four towards the check in counter 

"Let's go get those passes guys" Javi announces and leads the way towards the sign in table

I lay flat on my back, vertically across my bed with my earbuds in. The sound of Ave Maria and Requiem alternating as I try to visualize myself skating my program on the ice. Not only do I need to be physically prepared but also mentally. I can't let my guard down. Not today 

"Charlie-chan?" 

"Hmm?" I ask sitting up and pulling out one of my earbuds 

"Are you alright? You seem quite?" Yuzu asks taking a seat on my bed and going to hold my left hand

"I'm good" I lie

I'm far from good

I feel anxious

"Charlie-chan. I know that look. You're nervous and I understand that. I'm nervous too. It's scary competing and I don't think I'll ever get used to the nerves,but we got to power through. Remember it's us against the world. And Pooh-san I guess" he says raising his Pooh bear tissue case and making him press a small kiss to my nose 

"I love you Yuzu-kun. You always know what to say" I whisper 

"I love you too Charlie-chan. Just enjoy your performance tomorrow alright. Don't stress the quad too much" he says adding a light kiss to the top of my head

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Fuck, fuck, fuck" I mumble under my breath 

I'm last of the the 6 skaters to compete, so I have time for the nerves to die down 

"Charlotte, you can't keep stressing yourself out like this" Coach tells me in a concerned voice

"I know, I know. But I can't help but feel like I need to prove myself. I don't want to be seen as a joke anymore" I mumble. I can't feel the river of tears form in my eyes and before I can do anything, they start to flow out slowly
