is John , the ass hole behind him is Josh , the weirdo behind him is Kevin, the other ass behind him is Jack, that dumb fuck is Danny, and that Loser at the very back, is Scotty,” I introduced.
“Hey!” they all protested.
“How come John didn’t get a mean name?” Josh pouted.
“Because I’m awesome, bitch,” John laughed.
“Whoa shit, it is them,” Samantha mumbled.
“What do you mean?”
“I thought I was dreaming.”
We all laughed. “So, I guess you’re a fan?” Lago asked.
“Hell to the fuck yes Lago!” she grinned widely. “Your Olympic run? Epic,” she commented. He did a bow and smiled.
“Oh fuck,” he mumbled and hid behind Danny. “Her boyfriend is glaring at me,” he whispered loudly, causing all of us to crack up.
We all went to the Cabin to drop off our stuff. It was within the ‘village’ of Mt. Rose, which was awesome. We then made our way to the marketplace, where we grabbed stuff to cook, since the guys wanted Kate to cook. Lucky Kate right? Right.
Everyone was getting along well, which was never really a problem for me. As everyone was eating breakfast, and it was still around 7:30, and lifts don’t open until 9, I walked outside and out the balcony.
“Hey, you going to tell us what’s wrong?” John asked, with Lago behind him with chairs.
I eyed the chairs. “I was thinking it was a long story,” he smirked at me and set down the chairs.
“It’s Ryan…,” I sighed and began to tell them.
By the time I finished they had blank looks on their faces. “I’d say you’re lying, but I doubt you’d lie about things like this,” Scotty said. I pursed my lips and sighed.
“Lyn, I’ve seen how much Jay loves you. They way he looks at you, the way he acts around you. How protective he is of you. I know you love him more than anything else, besides snowboarding of course, but if he’s hurting you, then I don’t know if he’s good for you,” John sighed.
“I know,” I mumbled. “But I can't let go of him,” I looked at both of them pleadingly. They gave me sympathizing looks.
“I’m sorry Kate , but may I be completely honest with you?” Scotty asked. I nodded. He took a deep breath and looked at me straight in the eye. “Love is like snowboarding in many ways. When you look at somebody snowboarding for the first time, or even doing a trick, it looks easy and you say that it’s easy. But the truth is, it’s very hard. You strap into that board for the first time and you try to stand up. The truth is, you WILL fall. It is hard. You realize that. Just like love. You look at everyone and it seems to be that love is the perfect thing for you, that it’s easy and carefree but there are so much more stuff that comes with it.
“First time snowboarding, and getting that courage to strap yourself on that board, it makes an automatic decision that you will try it. Like love, when you step into it, you get into that whole mess. When you try something in snowboarding and you get it, you learn how to do your S turns for the first time, you master it, and you’re happy. You land that trick you’ve been working your ass off on, you feel top of the world. Just like love, when you get the person you want in your arms, it’s as if nothing can destroy it, nothing can ruin your day.
“As time passes by, you wanna try something new in snowboarding. Either you want to progress in the terrain you are riding in, or you want to learn Torstein Horgmo’s triple corkscrew. You don’t know if you’d be able to land it on the first try, most likely you’d fall flat on your ass, or maybe do a face plant . But you never know, you just might land it. You keep trying because maybe the next time you try it, you’ll land it.
“And just like love, you try something new, say something new, let that person know something new about you, and you never know where that could lead. You’re scared in both scenarios.
