Chapter 2

Pain...

Cold...

"Crap!..." My swollen legs almost went numb from of the pain of thousand needles pricking me in this damn bucket of ice. This is my least favourite part when it comes to training. Coach Gerda once again went hulk on us. Like honestly, they're the ones slacking off, not me. Why am I included in the punishment? My legs doesn't deserve this.

Speaking of that old hag, "You might wanna rethink now if you wanna laze around in the field." She crossed her arms with her usual stoic figure. "I need real players. Not some trash who joined football for the sake of having the same interest with their boyfriends." I raised my eyebrow at her. "Of course excluding Elsa..." She muttered. "Anyways, what I'm trying to say is to be a least motivated and do your best in playing." How can I be motivated when it seems all youre trying to do is to kill us? "Get some rest."

I sighed and can't help but think of Anna. I'm getting shivers at the thought of having a sleepover with her. Its not the first time but it always manage to make me nervous and excited. As if on cue, my phone rang and guess who's the caller?

"H-hey!" The fuck Elsa? Get a grip.

"Elsa! Are you busy later?"

"Yeah obviously. We're having a sleepover remember?" I laughed. Did she forgot?

"Oh yes! Sorry I know that was a stupid question. I just wanted to make sure because I dont want to force you to be with me because I'm sure you wanted to be with other girls." God if she only knew she's the person who matters to me the most.

I shook my head as I chuckled "What? Why would I be forced to hang out with you? You're my... bestfriend." Another stab in the chest.

"Awww. Thanks! Hows training by the way?"

"Torturous. I can't wait to get out of here." I groaned exaggeratedly to make her laugh, and she did, and that was worth it.

"You poor thing." Her melodic laugh gave me heart palpitations. "I'm waiting here outside the lockers. Just to let you know." I immediately stood up even with my abused feet. I don't care anymore, I want to see her. Now.

I limped through my path but before I reach outside, I acted fine so she won't worry. "Anna? Why didnt you tell me sooner?" She put her phone down and smiled at me sheepisly. "How long have you been waiting?"

"Just a couple of minutes. No biggie." She shrugged.

"Sorry to keep you here. I'll just go get my things and we'll go okay?" She nodded

I don't know what to feel about our car ride. Anna has always been a big fan of boybands and I'm always the person she begs as her company at the concerts which is a pain. I know I'm a partygoer kind of girl but that doesn't mean I can handle being in a very crowded place with people going crazy as they jump and shout. Anyways back to the main topic, her singing was another thing I liked about her. Any song, even if its from her favourite boyband, can capture me as long as she is the one singing.

But if the lyrics held a meaning to me, thats a different story.

We're going in circles again and again

I dedicated this song to you

The one who never sees the truth

That I can take away your hurt, heartbreak girl~

Anna sang along with the radio. As always, her voice passed through my ears, going though my stomach, giving me the butterflies but the lyrics... Is the universe trying to tell me something?

"Sing along with me Elsa!" She attempted to do the guitar riffs with her imaginary guitar which is really cute.

"No thanks. Im good." There is just no way I'm singing that song. Especially with her.

I parked the vehicle inside the garage with ease. I told Anna to go inside while I grabbed the pizza we ordered earlier before I followed her.

As usual, we have the house to ourselves. My parents are working in Norway and they just seldom go home. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm alone with her of all people. So much for trying to move on. I sighed. This isn't working at all.

"Is there something troubling you?" Anna snapped me out of my thoughts.

"I should be asking you that." I looked at her worriedly. After all, the reason shes here its because she needed to talk to someone.

She bit her lip and looked down. I known her for years and that action definitely meant that there was something wrong. Times like one time her dog died, when she lost in a race, when she broke her guitar and so much more. It was cute I gotta admit but it always sets me off because I don't want her hurt.

"Zack cheated on me..." she sniffed softly. Anger, worry, and endearment came all at once. Who the heck does that fucker think he is?! Anna is the most caring and amazing person I have ever met. And most girls will go gaga and grab a baseball bat to beat the shit out of the guy or his car but Anna isn't like that. Shes so fragile and kind that all she does is just trying to stop herself from crying. She's literally an angel walking on Earth.

On instinct, I pulled her close to me for a supportive embrace. "I'm sorry Anna." She cried on my shirt. "I'm here for you okay?" I kissed the top of her head."That douchebag doesn't deserve someone like you. You're beautiful and sweet and you deserve everything. He doesn't know what he's missing out on." I told her. I wasn't exaggerating because It was the whole truth because even I, would give her everthing she deserves if she would let me love her.

She gave a small laugh and said "No wonder you're popular with the ladies. You're such a charmer with those words." She looked up to me playfully, tears still evident on her green eyes.

I smiled and replied "I dont do such things with others. Only for you" It took me a few seconds to realized what I had just said. Great job. This is the thing I'm avoiding for years. Ruining our friendship. I dont want to be ungrateful by wishing for more than that. Yeah its hard to keep these useless feelings hidden all these years but if thats what it takes to be with her then its all worth it.

Thankfully, she didnt take that the wrong way based from her reactions, making me breathe out of relief but her reply made the air in my lungs go unstable again. "I wish I have boyfriend with a personality like you."

I was thankful that I don't have asthma or else I would have alveoli constrictions right now. Fuck. Did she even realized what she had just said to me? Shes basically telling me I'm her dream boyfriend!

"Are you okay? You're sweating a lot." Anna tiptoed to reach my forehead so she could wipe whatever shes trying to wipe, I don't care. Her tongue sticking out indicated she was concentrating. Why is she acting so adorable when shes just a few inches away from me?

"I-I'm just hungry. Lets go eat the pizza." I stuttered. It was half the truth but the reason is more of because she makes me nervous. She has the power to break my cool and confident side of mine.

"I'm eating the larger portion kay?" She sang and ran to the living room with the box of pizza.

I smiled goofily and ran up to her "Oh no you don't! I paid for that!" It's good thats shes back to normal now. Although I'm still not. Well not yet. I'm gonna take care of that Zack later.

We peacefully enjoyed the pizza in my room. We were comfortably sitting on the couch in our pajamas and the tv was on even though no one was watching. Our conversation was able to entertain us and make us lost track of time.

"I'm gonna get us some drinks, is alcohol okay?" I asked as I stood up from my seat. Thats the only liquid available currently besides water.

"Anythings fine with me." She gave me a thumbs up.

I went back after a few seconds with a bottle of vodka and some cups. I'm not really sure if its a good idea to get her, myself or both of us drunk but nothing can go wrong right? Well I hope so.

I poured us the drink and she held up her cup "Let's have a toast!"

"Then I woke up inside a bathtub! All I could think of was 'What happened last night?'" She told the story. We were reminiscing and laughing about our weird hangover experiences. And also we're drunk.

"At least thats better than waking up naked with cheese in my hands. Thats was more mindfucking." We laughed.

She stretched her arm from where she is, trying to reach her cup only resulting to her falling from the couch. I went to her, stifling my laugh "Are you okay?"

"I think so..." I heard her mutter. I shook my head and held up my hand for her. She took it and pull herself up "I'm sleepy" Anna whined.

"Lets get you to bed then. Im tired too."

Anna giggled and before I could react "Bring me to bed my faithful servant!" She jumped and cling on to me. Her legs automatically wrapped around my waist so she wouldn't fall. But she did anyways which made me grabbed her to stop her from slipping. Of all the things I could grab, I grabbed her butt.

I swear I didn't do it on purpose! Nor it was because I was drunk. Maybe partially it was but- fuck her butt is so soft. Okay Elsa no weird thoughts! She's your bestfriend. Get that in your brain you pervert.

I turned to look at her reaction but it was just her sleeping face that greeted me. I sighed and brought her upstairs to the guest room. Still in this awkward position. Im not complaining anyway. I'm actually enjoying this. Sorry Anna for being such a weirdo. Who the heck enjoys touching her oblivous and innocent bestfriend's ass? Apparently I do.

I put her to bed gently as possible and covered her with a blanket. Like a weirdo I've always been, I took several minutes just admiring her.

She was the reason why I was fooling around. I needed to forget about her. It hurts to be so close to someone when that someome is all you could think about but you know damn well that you can never have them.

Why do I have to be in love with my super straight bestfriend?

I'm partially blaming her because why does she have to be so damn perfect? Shes beautiful, clever, adorable and just simply wonderful. Who wouldn't fall for her?

And of course theres me to blame because I'm such a fool to be in love with my own bestfriend. Thats like against the law.

I sighed and went to my own room. I'm so tired of everything. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. And I still have another hellish training tomorrow. Hm can't wait.

Before anything else, I texted Kristoff, not caring if he was still awake or not.

'Get ready tomorrow Kris. We're gonna wreck someone's shit. P.S. Don't tell Anna'

Finally something to look forward to. Well, besides the sight of the cute redhead in the other room.
