Thank you so much to all my wonderful readers! Although I am slightly confused as to how I have more favorites than follows, considering that this is a multi-chaptered story, but I don't judge. (: You do you boo.
On a much more dramatic note...
Chapter 4 - A Stain
To say that Jack was concerned was the understatement of the century. No, he was devastated. He was pulling out his hair and shaking in his seat.
He had nearly been hit by a car. He would have been hit by a car if not for... for her. The girl he now knew to be Elsa Arendelle.
Well, he had known her previously, but not by that name. He had known her as the beautiful girl who had always sat where no one would notice her. The beautiful girl who excelled in all her classes. The beautiful girl with hair almost as exotic as his own. But now she was the beautiful girl who was willing to sacrifice her own life for his.
He had been an idiot. He hadn't checked to see if there were any cars and he had put in earbuds and stared at his phone, effectively blocking everything else from his eyes and ears.
And Elsa had payed for it. Running his eyes over her injuries, she looked about as broken as he felt.
The doctors were difficult to understand, due to Jack's lack of medical knowledge, but he gathered that Elsa was nursing a broken leg, bruised ribs, and a solid hit to the head. The only reason she wasn't dead was because she slid on the ice and the snow cushioned her fall. The doctors said that her muscles had been relaxed, so that helped as well.
Jack couldn't imagine being relaxed in a situation like that. A situation where you know that you are going to get hit by a car. Well, he assumed she had known.
Jack remembered the shove against his chest, the fall onto his tailbone, and the horrible thunk as a body was hit by a car.
He had immediately dialed 911, tears beginning to stream down his face as he realized the reality of the situation.
By the time the ambulance got there, the snow around Elsa's body had been stained red.
