Last day of school- Elsa and Jack have been happily dating for the past 6 months. Both madly in love and thinking that everything is content in the world. Nothing can come between their love. Everything is at peace in the world. That is until the last day of school during the last period.
ELSA'S POV
"It has been a great year class! I am so happy to have had the opportunity to meet and get to know all of you. I wish you all a great summer and know that all of you will make it far in the future," my teacher says. After giving her speech, we are all able to have free time until the bell rings releasing us from the hell we call school. My boyfriend Jack immediately comes over to my desk and put his arm around me. I lean in. "So, summer time, wanna hang out?" he asks with his signature smirk. "Of course," I say as I give him a little peck. "Awwwww you two are too cute!" my cousin Rapunzel squeals. "Hey, aren't we cute?" her boyfriend Eugene asks. "Well, we are the cutest, but they're second. No one is as cute as us," she says as she pecks him on the cheek. I smile at this. This year of school has been the best year ever. I finally feel content with my life. I finally feel...free.
As we sit there talking about our plans for summer, my teacher calls me up. "Elsa dear, get your stuff and go to the office, Anna will meet you there. I don't know what it's about, but I wish you a fantastic summer," my teacher says. I nod and head back to my desk to grab my bag. "Hey, where you going?" Jack asks. "I was called to the office, I don't know what it's about, but I guess I'll see you guys later. Text me k?" I say as I give him a peck on the cheek and then head out.
I get to the office and see Anna already there with her stuff. "Elsa, please sit down." Principle Walt says. "Dears, I hate to be the ones to tell you this, but... your parents were flying to Corona correct?" he asks. Anna and I look at each other and then nod. He sighs. "I'm afraid that there was a malfunction with the plane, it crashed somewhere in the sea, you parents...didn't make it," I heard this and my heart broke. Mom, dad, you can't be dead. You can't just die. Not now. Please don't let it be true. I'm on the verge of crying when I finally manage to get out some words. "Thank you for telling us Principle Walt. If it's not too much to ask, can Anna and I go home now?" He nods and I grab Anna's hand and leave. The car ride was silent. Surprisingly, neither Anna nor I were crying, yet. When we got home, Anna burst out in tears. Eventually she cried herself to sleep. I brought her up to her room and laid her down into her bed.
For some reason, I haven't cried yet. What's wrong with me? I call Kristoff and ask him to come over for Anna's sake. He does and I bring him to her room for him to watch over her. "Are you ok?" he asks. I nod. "I think I just need some time to think. Please watch over her for me. If she wakes up, tell her I'm out. And please, don't leave until I get back." I say. He nods. "Don't worry, I'll never leave your sister. Especially now. I'll watch over and protect her, just, be careful Elsa," Kristoff says. I nod and then take my leave. I go outside and just begin walking. No destination in mind. I just keep walking.
Suddenly, I look up and see that I am in the forest. Why did you bring me here legs? I lye down and look to the sky. What is wrong with me? Why haven't I shed a tear yet? I look at the lake and see my parents. Mom? Dad? The lake is now frozen and I see a little girl jump into their arms. They laugh and then begin to skate. Why is this memory appearing? I continue to watch my memory unfold. Soon, we stop skating and just embrace each other. "We love you Elsa, always remember that. No matter what, we'll always love you. You are our miracle, our little snowflake, don't ever forget that. We'll always be with you." My dad says. "Always?" my younger self asks. "Always" my mom answers and then they begin to fade away. "Mom! Dad! No! Don't leave me! Don't. Leave. Me" I say as they fade out and I am brought back to the forest. Alone.
I sat in a fetal position looking at the lake. Don't leave me. Not alone. I don't want to be alone. You promised you would always be there for me. You promised. A tear rolled down my cheek. After that another one followed. Then another and another. They just kept on coming and soon I was crying waterfalls. My sobs got louder and as I released a sorrowful yell, ice spread all over the lake and trees. "You promised!" I yelled out to no one in particular. A blizzard began raging on as my crying intensified. I continued crying and screaming for hours and hours until it was night. The storm slowly died down as I began to run out of tears. Soon, the storm was faded and it was just me, surrounded by ice, with knees to my chest being hugged by my arms and my face in my legs. Streams of tears continued to fall as I was once again left in the forest, alone.
I woke up the next morning. My eyes sore from crying and tears still falling. My heart froze last night. Losing all it's love, all it's warmth and happiness. I had dreams of my parents which only brought on more sorrow and pain. My heart was so frozen that it began to crack. The sun had come up and had started to shine down on the lake and forest. My ice began to melt away by the heat of the rays, however, the rays were not strong enough to thaw my now frozen heart. I continue to sit near the lake and watch the ice melt. Thinking, maybe if I sit here long enough, my heart will melt as well. It never did. After a couple of hours, I gave up. My heart will never thaw. My parents are gone. I have to accept that. However, I can't accept that if I stay here. Everything here just reminds me of them. I can't stay. Not if I want to get over this. If I want to thaw my heart, I have to leave.
I get home to see Kristoff was still there with Anna. They we awake, but the mood in the room was gray and gloomy. "Elsa, are you alright?" Kristoff asked. "I'm fine," I said as I put on the most genuine smile I could. It probably looked totally fake, but right now, I can't let Anna or anyone see how hurt I am. I don't want to end up bringing their spirits down. I go upstairs and take a shower. I get into my room and look at my phone. 5 calls from Jack. "Hey Elsa, it's Jack. I'm just checking to see if you are ok. You never called after your meeting with the principle. Please call me as soon as you get this." After listening to the voicemail, I didn't call back. Him being here might not help. I look around my room and begin packing my things. I have to leave as soon as possible. I'll leave tomorrow, the day after at the latest. I decide to leave behind all of my family pictures and my pictures of Jack and I. I have to leave Arendelle behind for now.
When I go back downstairs I notice that Anna has finished crying and that Kristoff was now getting ready to leave. "Are you leaving now?" I ask. "Yeah, Anna says that she's feeling better now which means that my work here is done. I'll be back soon." he said as he gave Anna a kiss and left. "Are you sure you're feeling alright?" I ask. Anna looks up at me with her usual cheery face. It's like their death didn't even happen. "Actually, I am totally fine. I mean, mom and dad wouldn't want us to be sad and I guess I'm just good at coping with this." I smile at her optimism, however, I can't cope as quickly as her. "Well, why don't you go take a shower and then we can get some ice cream," I say. She smiles and skips up the stairs.
As I continue packing I hear a knock at my door. "Elsa, why are you packing your things? Where are you going?" Anna asks from behind. I can hear both confusion and sadness in her voice. I sigh. "Anna, ummmm," I say as I bite my bottom lip. She walks up to me and sits on my bed. She gestures for me to continue. "Ok, you see, I'm not like you. I can't cope as easily as you do. I just need some time alone. I need to leave for a little while, just to get my mind off of mom and dad. Me staying here isn't going to help. I see them where ever I go even though we've only lived here 3 years. I just, I need some time to think." I say. She nods in understanding, but I see sadness behind her eyes. "I understand. Where will you be going?" she asks. "I'm going to stay with Aunt Gerda and Uncle Kai." I tell her. "How long are you going to be there?" "A year, at most." I say. She nods and begins to get up.
"Anna, wait. You can't tell anyone. Them knowing won't help. They'll just try to stop me. No one can know about where I'm going. I'll stay in contact with you, but not with anyone else. You'll have to keep me informed about them, I don't want to miss out on their lives, however, they can't know that you're talking to me. All they can know is that I left and why I left. You can't tell them anymore." I say. She nods. "I understand Elsa. Just promise me you'll be careful and that you will come back." she says. I nod and we hug. "When are you planning on leaving?" "Tomorrow," I say. Anna gets up. "Well, if this is the last day I'll get to spend with you for another year, then how about we make this day a great one and get some of that ice cream I was promised?" she says, back to her cheery self. I smile and we head out.
