I don't own Frozen
In a cold afternoon of autumn, a little girl watch fascinated through the car window. A messy layer of red leaves cover all the ground of the big forest that surround the road, for her it's magical, like a dream. Her mother hums at the rhythm of radio while hold the hand of her husband who drives happily an old mustang, her sister watches the same view and both exclaims in awe.
Her dad smile at the innocence go her daughters, he's a proud man with the perfect family; a loving wife, two beautiful daughters and a hardworking father.
Summer- Present
Asle loved that little trips, even if wasn't autumn and the red leaves didn't coat the ground, she loved the easiness of the moment when her dad wasn't expecting anything of her and her mom was healthy, when her family weren't torn apart and they would talk about everything and nothing without fear.
Yes, she loved car trips…except now.
It had already passed 30 minutes and no one spoke a word, the tension could be cut it in the air. Elsa was driving with clenched hands at the steering wheel Asle could swear it will break, Anna was ignoring the situation watching the desert with such interest and to Asle's bad luck even the radio were turned off. The silence was awkward, Asle was sitting on the back seat and began to fret.
"Mmm…Nice car" Asle commented but nobody answered "totally a piece of great engineer and design. It's a Gran Coupé?…You know, Elsa, i always saw you more like a Mercedes woman than a BMW girl…or this's yours, Anna?…Do you have a car?…Of course you would have a car, you are 24, right?..."
"Can you please shut up" Elsa almost scream putting the awkward silence on another level. Nobody dared to make a move or sound, just the motor sound could be heard.
"At least you could turn on the radio" Asle mumbled burying herself in the back seat. "Or maybe you fear i could hear some news and rob a bank"
"More like set on fire" Elsa growled under her teeth
"What you said?"
"You hear it"
"Listen you…"
"STOP" Both Asle and Elsa froze, luckily the highway was empty or they would have crashed at the sudden stop of the car. Anna was glaring at her sisters with a little pout.
"Sorry Anna, i don't know what took my mind" Elsa apologized starting the car again. Since when Anna has this strength and fierce look? Asle was intrigued, Anna would have rambled trying to gain her attention while both of her sisters will be killing each other. What happened with both sisters?
"Obviously we have much tension between each other "Anna began with a sigh "Why not play a little game?"
"Anna, i don't think a game would help here" Asle reply tired.
"No, listen. I used with the kids when they fight and its pretty useful"Asle was on the point to speak when a glare of Elsa shut her so Anna could continue "Each one would have a turn to speak what bother us and the other two would hear and in the next turn you could reply the other issue. Easy bitsy, right?"
"Whatever" Was the only answer Asle gave.
"I'll play" Elsa said and -for the first time on the road- Anna truly smiled.
"Ok, ok…mmmh Asle you start 'cause you're the biggest" Asle raise an eyebrow at the use of words of Anna but play with it anyway. "next Elsa and finally me"
"I feel my presence bother you both" Asle snapped with cross arms "You know you don't have to do this, i can take care of myself and whatever trouble i get its my problem and i would deal with the consequences. I don't need a nanny, period."
"i don't think was a good idea let you go" Elsa deadpanned, Asle was ready with a comeback when Anna shut her with a look "what you did was a big deal and yours reasons unjustified, who knows what you could do now. You're unpredictable, irresponsible…"
"a fuck-up" Asle muttered
"language" Anna scolded but that doesn't stop her sister
"I'm already know I'm a…screw up, ok? And i understood you hate me…"
"We don't hate you"
" if you say so, Anna" Asle sigh knowing it were empty words" i'm really sorry for what happened, i spent 10 years thinking about it…And i know an apology its not enough for what you have to pass…for my mistakes…b-but i will fix it, i promised"
"Maybe you're right when you said an apology isn't enough" unexpectedly was Anna who speak first, with a reassuring smile but eyes full of sadness "and maybe…you weren't ready to get out of jail but you gained it and… you talk about trying to change for good but the reality, Asle, is that would be difficult to earn our trust again"
"i…i….i understand" Asle said defeated
"Elsa…you want to said something else?" Elsa stopped the car but now more slowly and parked at the edge of the road to look her sister directly at the eyes "if you dare to hurt this family again, i swear it will be the last thing you will do"
Asle gulped.
