"Here we go."
Elsa thought to herself, as she entered the large hall,where the party was taking clouds of cigarette smoke and the aroma of alcohol were flowing through the air contaminating everything they sound of laughter was drumming in her ears,as people were constantly bumping rudely into her and passing her looked around,trying to notice someone she knew.
"Nope,didn't think so."
A heavy sigh escaped the blonde's mouth,as she judged the best course of action would be to get over to the bar as quickly as really needed a to maneuver her way through the noisy crowd,she began getting strange looks from the strangers. She didn't recognize them,but they surely recognized look of pity in their eyes was making her glistening jewels and sad eyes made her close her eyes and just short of running,she paced in the bar's general direction.
"Ouch!" In her hesitation Elsa had accidentally almost trampled another young stood up and dusted her dress off,as her flaming crimson hair reflected in the blonde's deep crystal blue eyes.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you" The redhead rushed to apologize with a slight smile on her tried to open her mouth to apologize right back,but nothing came just stood there with her jaw hanging open(probably leaving the wrong impression) unsure of what to say.
"Is everything okay?" Before she could finish her sentence,the shy blond blushed and stormed off with embarrassment.I cant believe myself.I hope that poor girl is firs time at a party and i screw up not ten minutes in. These thoughts and many other raced through her head,as she clumsily made her way to the bar and sat ordered a shot of tequila to calm her nerves.
"Hi there" Elsa curiously turned her head to notice a young man throwing a subtle smile at turned away and tried to ignore him. Although he didn't take too kindly to her cold rejection,he still stood up and took the free seat next to the confused girl.Who is this guy, I haven't seen him before. Nervously she began to over think it. What does he want from me?Does he know me?Why is he so interested?
"I'm sorry did I offend you or something?" He didn't talk as snobby as everyone else at the party, but he was acting surprisingly sober after, what Elsa judged by his breath must have been at least half a bottle of vodka.
"No, I just want to be alone." She stuttered as the alcohol set fire to her cheeks.
"Really? Then, why are you at a party?" With genuine wonder he looked at the distracted girl seated next to was obvious that he'd been to a lot of parties,but it looked like he'd never heard those words before.
He's got a am i doing here? She thought back to when she opened her mailbox and a pretty magenta envelope fell out onto the floor. It turned out,that it contained an invite to a party some old friends of her parents were throwing. What could have possibly gone over her, to make her think it was a good idea to attend?She kept asking herself that as she swallowed another shot.
"Oh, how rude of me not to introduce myself" The tall brunette jumped up from his stool. "My name is Hans. Nice to meet you" He looked down at Elsa with a smile and sparkle in his shy girl turned her crystalline eyes to meet his. "I'm Elsa" Those two words made the smile fade from his face and the sparkles in his eyes to dim. "Oh, I didn't know you were going to parties" She turned to him with an angry was clear he knew her,if only by her name and its infamous reputation. "Well I presume you want to be left alone" Hans mumbled with a tone of disappointment. Really what tipped you off? She retorted sarcastically in her mind. "But it's not healthy you shouldn't be so alone." This time there were sadness and concern mixed in with the disappointment.
"You don't know me." She whispered in her breath as her temporary companion left her and quickly lost himself in the crowd. "Good riddance, I wasn't getting anywhere with 's rich but it's not worth the are plenty rich desperate people here,I'll find someone else" He thought to himself, shuffling through the in his thoughts he ran into another young woman,the beautiful daughter of the hosts Anna,hair flowing like a red river splitting in two halfway,her fading sky-blue eyes and every single freckle on her pretty figure also deserves a mention,she was just a bit shorter than everybody else, just enough to notice, she wasn't as curvy as some other women at the party,but very charming nevertheless,she didn't have the "grace" common among women of her status but the attitude of the teenage girl she was crossed with the curiosity of a to say she was hard to miss in her fancy gown and high (though not high enough) heels.
Alright,let's do this! Hans thought to himself,finished the drink in his hand and, in an attempt to not suspiciously introduce himself,bumped into Anna,spilling her drink on the floor.
"I'm so sorry!" they both cried out in synchronization,chuckles and giggles followed. "Hans" "Anna" They introduced themselves still shaking off their was a very outgoing person,still cautious she wouldn't trust a stranger,not right-off-the-bat anyway. "I believe I owe you a drink to follow me to the bar?" A sophisticated facade was immediately erected to hide what lay a smug smile and the feel of self-congratulation,Hans escorted the lovely lady to the bar,witch Elsa hadn't left all this time,drinking shot after shot.
Once settled in their stools with drinks in their hands,Hans attempted to seduce Anna with his "charm" and "sophistication".His futile attempts however,achieved little more than a distracted blush and a nod if he was was pretty cagey when it came to had been hurt before by her own nature and the actions of , she had heard the words "I love you too, but you're like a little sister to me" one too many wasn't letting Hans get too close.
"Jackpot!" Hans thought to himself. "Once I get into her family they'll share the wealth" In his own family he was the thirteenth youngest child. Needless to say his parents couldn't afford to take care of the needs of all their children,some corners had to be grew up wearing his brothers' old clothes,walking to school every day because there wasn't enough room in the two cars his parents had,he was hated by his brothers,to them he was only a hole,their parents threw money and attention in,money and attention they could have been giving parents had it worst of all,with thirteen kids to feed,each of them had to work two jobs barley leaving time for themselves and their kids,so most of the time Hans was in the "care" of his older brothers,who either made fun of him or ignored him wasn't sure witch one was more was filled with envy for all the other kids that didn't have to wear old rags just to keep warm in the face of the frostbite. In his early teens he rebelled against his parents and discovered,what he thought was his true love, a rich girl with a seemingly kind just used him and threw him unfortunate chain of events was what had turned him into what he was,when he first men was completely obsessed over exploiting women of hire class for his own gain and to an extent for payback,but not entirely.
You disgust me. I really fucking hate the thought that we're the same person. How can you be so heartless after everything you've been through? You are pathetic.A voice rose from beneath a second facade he had erected not to fool others but harder he tried to conceal it the harder it hit. I'd rather die than, be you for another minute! He clenched his fist and put up a fake smile to entertain his victim,trying to ignore his own deep down he knew the voice was right,but was too weak to change.
His companion however glanced around the room from her stool,halfheartedly nodding at his hollow attempts to woe was when she saw her,sitting alone at the other side of the bar glaring at the couple,the blond girl that had nearly ran her over was completely alone in the hazy had observed their whole exchange with a frown across her knew that something was wrong with their eyes met however the blonde's stern exterior had let slip a slight immediately looked down at the bar with embarrassment,as she swallowed another blue eyes squinted in a soft the time Elsa had collected enough courage to raise her eyes and look back at them,Anna was just observing her with great interest. She's kind'a weird,i like that. When their eyes met again Anna waved her hand, as she let loose the power of her beautiful roses bloomed in Elsa's cheeks as she subconsciously shared a thought with the stranger:Wow, she's gorgeous! Both of them wrote it off to all the alcohol they'd consumed,but Elsa was a lot more worried about thought it was best to leave before her mind started playing more tricks on hesitation she downed one last shot and headed for the back door,her beautiful dark blue dress following after her like an really didn't want to answer questions like "Why are you leaving so early?" or "Did something go wrong?" again.
Anna noticed her goal and, without saying a word to Hans,stormed off after the mysterious figure that disappeared into the mist made of cigarette smoke and towering had finally reached the long hallway,at the end of witch stood the exit. Almost free! Half-way through the silent corridor she heard a gentle voice behind her.
"Hey!" Elsa's heart skipped a beat as she turned Anna secretly didn't expect mysterious girl to acknowledge her,so she hadn't prepared a follow-up a second of awkward silence she opened her mouth. "So, why are you leaving so soon?" The confused words, that Elsa dreaded to hear,left the would-be escapee looking for an excuse. "I uh, I have work to do important work,so I should be going." The terrible liar completely failed to deceive the now slightly frustrated Anna. "Did something go wrong at the party? Did someone hurt you?" Elsa fought hard to contain the blush brought about by the concern of this complete stranger,but ultimately failed. "No, not at all.I just really don't want to be here." She uttered with guilt in her voice,she hated turning people seemed though the redhead took great offence at the statement and raised her voice in anger. "No wonder you were alone if that's how you treat want to be alone so bad?Fine then, go away!Since no one here is good enough for you, why did you even bother showing up?!" The weird affection Elsa had for this girl made her words all the more guilt she felt from before made her feel like she deserved it,made her feel even she felt a single tear trail down her cheek,she tried to say something,to apologize,but she couldn't find the just brushed off the tear, turned around and ran to the door,fighting the urge to look back.
The back door led to a tiny old alley between two hulking concrete looked around nervously to make sure no one saw her and walked had been a while since she allowed her sensitive side to crack the sturdy exterior,she feared that if she showed emotion in public people would just exploit that to get what they had first-hand experience in that she had contained her emotions with a straight face,deep down,where she didn't dare to look her heart was broken somehow still tried to concentrate as she approached the lively street just around the corner.
"Got change?" A thin voice rang through the air,riddled with a sad ,Elsa looked around, but saw no she looked down and her eyes met those of homeless child extending a skinny arm that held a small iron cup,his over-sized clothes riddled with holes, clinging to his slim undernourished the holes she could see the boy's ribs as they were trembling in the cold winter brought her hand to her mouth to contain a gasp as she felt another tear brewing behind her half-closed reached into her clutch and pulled out a fifty-dollar bill without even looking at what she was holding,she put it in the little cup and walked away with fear that the boy would try and return,what she had took to the street and hailed a cab.
Inside the building Anna was angrily walking back to the she reached the end of the hallway however,the sense of justification left her stranded. Oh my god! Her eyes widened as she realized how cruel her word were. I have to see her, NOW! She stormed out into the street, not even noticing the little boy curled up on the eyes met Elsa's as she was climbing into the cab. "Wait, please!" Anna's pleads were met with fear in the other girl's eyes,as the car escaped Anna's line of guilt,swirling up inside her,filled her mind with terrible thoughts,depicting the sad lonely girl harming herself and hating Anna for had nothing else to do but walk slowly back inside.A single snowflake landed gently on her face,melting on her soft skin and trailing down like a little beggar,already having been ignored once, didn't want to attract any more attention,so he just averted his eyes from the young woman that walked back into the focus shifted, however when he heard a soft sob behind turned back to see Anna with a hand over her mouth like Elsa,except Anna couldn't hold her tears face was glistening with tears,reflecting the soft moonlight as snowflakes gracefully swirled around kid opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by a soft warm panicked at first,thinking the "pretty lady" wanted to hurt a moment's realization,he was speechless,he couldn't believe what was happening to the first time in forever no for the first time showed him kindness and eyes opened and lit up like shimmering sole moment in his life felt,as if it dragged on for weeks,the happiest he was ever going to Anna pulled away,for what was probably the worst moment of the boy's life,her breath coming out in short puffs of white gas,as the air around them grew colder,she slipped off her velvet jacket,exposing pale,bare shoulders to the cold,and wrapped the small boy in he stopped shaking from the cold,he raised his sparkling eyes to meet the kind stranger's and gave the most genuine heart-warming smile Anna had ever smiled back and walked away.
On the way Anna suddenly change her mind,she didn't want to go back to the party,she felt a bit drained after what she'd been through, after what she the guilt in the redhead's conscience made her walk home. What have you done? Her mind flared up again. That poor girl, she was all alone, probably the whole night, how could you do this to her? Guilty thoughts were hanging over her head like a dark cloud as she trailed away from the party, leaving Hans alone with his passed,blurred into hours as the guests left one by stood there, at the bar, patiently waiting for Anna to return. The realization that Anna had abandoned him started slowly breaking the wall between his conflicting selves down. You're a fucking pathetic parasite!You're not even worthy to be the same species as Anna!You're not worth the air you breathe! He considered drowning the voice in more alcohol,but he couldn't bring himself this time, the hours of the night ticked away,he found himself alone in the huge hollow room,quietly walking away he never stopped thinking about Anna.
The cab dropped Elsa off just in front of an old decaying entered the lobby to find a lone light bulb flickering in the center of the empty the elevator door was hanged a piece of cardboard with the words "out of order" scribbled on with a black marker. "Again?" She whispered in her had to walk up the stairs she ascended through the floors,cracks on the walls creeping around her, the things she had heard that night were howling like the winds of a storm inside her mind. "It's not healthy to be alone. Why did you even bother showing up? Go away!" Bit by bit she was breaking down,as her own inner voice joined the mix. "So no one is good enough for you? Is that why shut them out?" NO! She cried out in response. I'm not good enough!
She reached her apartment on the last floor,an elegantly decorated door contrasting to the dirty old walls that surrounded it,inside a beautiful apartment existing only inches away from the depiction of bright lights of the skyline were reflecting off the marble floor illuminating the living room,wrapping it in a soft cocoon of couldn't take it anymore,she collapsed on the couch and started the first time she wasn't able to control it,it couldn't be concealed was sobbing,tears glistening on her beautiful face.
