Pippa tossed in her sleep. She felt something was missing. Someone was missing.
"Jack…" she called tossing to the right with a scrunched up face.
"Jack.." Now she had turned to her left tears forming at the closed lid of her eyes.
"Jack!" She called breaking out in full tears as she jumped up. A few seconds later her brother came running in. He looked at his sister who was now crying looking around as if she didn't know where she was. He ran up to her and hugged her, whispering soothing words to get her to calm down.
"Please… don't leave.." the little girl sobbed. Jack's heart broke.
"I won't. I promise." he said hugging her tighter. After a while, Pippa had fallen asleep while Jack leaned his head on her headboard.
'I guess my alarm clock will be breaking again this morning.' he said as he sadly looked at the tear faced sleeping girl in his arms.
…..
Elsa was surprised to see her younger sister already dressed and waiting for her down stairs.
"Morning Anna." she said as she descended down the stairs to the door.
"Mornin'" she perked and bounced out the door as Elsa held it opened.
"You're up early and pretty hyped." Elsa said, more like questioned.
"Really?" she said as they made their way to the the platinum blonde's car.
"Maybe I'm just happy to see you happy." Elsa just laughed and shook her head although Anna was being serious. Ever since Elsa and Jack reconciled, her sister wasn't as closed off as before.
When they got to the school Elsa and Anna went their separate ways. Anna of course went to find Kristoff, while Elsa met up with Astrid and walked to the main hallway with her. When they got to their normal split up spot they were met by a girl wearing a pink dress.
"Aurora." Elsa said. The girl looked up and waved. Astrid said bye and walked off leaving the two alone. Elsa started walking and not too long did the other follow.
"Els." she called. Elsa stopped and turned to her staring at the girl who had a sad smile. "I'm sorry… about what Cinderella said."
"It's fine. It's not like I'm not use to it." She shrugged. They walked in silence for a few steps then the blonde spoke.
"Hey… I'm going to stop hanging around Cinderella. It's not a group I want to be apart of anymore." The platinum blonde stopped and looked at the other.
"Why in Senior year?"
"I always wanted to stop talking to her. Honestly. But I kept thinking that you'd want nothing to do with me. I mean you did stop talking to me when you and Jack got into that fight." Aurora said biting her lips. Elsa remembered that she had stopped talking Aurora after that because Aurora kept asking her what was wrong and being a good friend but at the time, Elsa didn't want to talk about it. Elsa looked at her and nudged her.
"Are you sure? I might be doing some witchy voodoo on you." Elsa smiled. The other laughed at her rhyme then all of a sudden she was hugged by the platinum blonde.
"I missed you Ro." she said hugging tighter. She just hugged Elsa tighter as she said "Me too."
Aurora told Elsa bye as she went the opposite direction to get to her class. After that Elsa went to first period happier than she's ever been.
"So she does smile." a snide from Hans came.
"Look I'm too happy for you to burst my bubble." She gave him the biggest smile showing him he couldn't ruin her mood.
"You think you're special now that you have Frost?" He questioned.
"For one, when have I ever counted on Frost and two, how can you go missing after that embarrassing incident and come back to say something insulting like you have every right to." the blonde sneered as her smiling face turned into a deathly glare. Hans felt the room get colder as her glare got darker as seconds went by.
"Just watch out Queen" he said going to his seat. Elsa just shrugged and turned to her window. So much for having a good morning. She just couldn't wait until Jack got here so she could tell him about Hans little stunt he tried to pull.
But the only thing about that was the fact that he came five minutes before the bell rung but instead of his usual angry self he looked defeated, at least in Elsa's eyes.
"Let me guess Frost, your alarm clock was thrown again."
"You know it Bunny." he said in a dead tone. Mr. Aster prepared to fuss but was soon caught off by the bell. "See you at detention tomorrow Frost." He just waved his hand in a yeah yeah fashion before walking towards Elsa.
"Morning." the white haired teen said with a dreadful smile.
"Morning." She replied with a small smile. He tried to make his smile bigger but it ended in a lopsided smirk. It kind of broke Elsa's heart seeing him like this. She always seen a look of defeat when he'd come late but now, with their friendship rekindled and all, it just hurts more. She thought about telling him about the Hans incident but chose not to tell him in the end. They walked in silence until they got near the library. Elsa stared up at the boy and realized that he had bags under his eyes.
"Go sleep. I'll tell our next teacher that you've caught a cold." She offered.
"That teachers already knows I skip their class." he joked.
"Yeah but she's never heard someone tell her a reason why." She nudged him. He looked down at her and smiled. What he did next surprised her. He had pulled the female in a hug.
"Jack? " He squeezed tighter as she called his name.
"Thanks… For being there for me." she hugged him back before sending him to the library to sleep. She walked to her second period only to see Aurora in the middle of a fuss with the school princesses. As soon as Cinderella caught sight of the Ice queen, she directed her anger towards her.
"This is all your fault!" she yelled while pointing her finger at Elsa. "You.. you threatened her! You told her not to be friends with me because you were jealous!" the bright blonde said stepping closer. Elsa just moved the other girl's hand out her face with a huff.
"I did nothing of the sort." Elsa had her face scrunched up in a scowl.
"Liar! First Jack and now Aurora! When will you learn that you're not wanted!?" the other cried out causing kids in classes near by to run out. Already frustrated with Cinderella's acts she stepped up.
"And when will you learn that you're just a wanna be popular brat?! Ever since middle school you've held this resentment towards me! When will you get your head out of your ass and realize that what you're doing has no meaning!" she said stepping to the girl who in return back up every step. At this point Cinderella was on the wall and everyone who had surrounded them had been shouting fight repeatedly. She was sick of it. She was sick of Hans, Cinderella, and everyone at this dumb school. Elsa turned around and started to walk off before she heard a bunch of 'ohh' then a smack. She turned around to see Aurora standing in front of her and a Cinderella with a distraught face and a raised hand.
"Enough…" came the soft voice a Aurora. "Enough! I'm sick of it. I'm sick of being the bad guy! I was Elsa's friend first! I left Els not the other way around! I wanted someone who would pick me up not bring me down. I told you those things, not for you to hate Elsa, but for you to understand and help me. Sure Els is cold and closed off but… but she's still my friend! So please… stop hating her because I wasn't a good friend." at this point Aurora was in tears. The Ice Queen felt her heart crack. Bit by bit her shield was breaking. She heard gasps and looked to see everyone staring at her through a blurry vision. She was crying she knew it. She ran to the other crying girl and hugged her. They were crying together as people sat and watched, seeing as the Ice Queen has never cried before.
Soon a teacher, Mr. North to be exact, could be heard as he was telling students to get out of the way. The two girls still crying was pulled away and was running towards the entrance of the school. Elsa looked up to see Jack pulling her and Tadashi pulling Aurora. Soon they split off to go to respective cars. She looked in the rear view mirror to see a very angry North. The tears kept falling as they were driving to who knows where. The car stopped and she felt Jack rubbing the tears off face.
"I thought you said I could sleep for second?" he joked. She let out a choked laugh before she heard a tap on the window. She looked to see Tadashi and Aurora and that's when she realized they were at 'Dashi's. Jack got out along with Elsa. When they walked through the door Aunt Cass called out.
"Hiro, is that you?" she said walking in the living room.
"Nice to know my brother skips school on a regular basis." Tadashi joked as his Aunt looked shocked. She looked at this the kids in the house and realized two things about them. One, they were still the same four kids she use to take out to the movies when they were younger and second, was that the two girls were crying.
"I'll call the school and tell them not to hold this against you guys but you can't do this anymore! I don't need two high school boys failing." she said already walking to the phone. "I'll bring snacks up later."
"Thanks Aunt Cass." they all said as they all walked up to Tadashi's room. When they got there, there was silence before they all broke out into laughter.
"There goes perfect attendance." Aurora said as she sat by Elsa who was sitting on Tadashi's bed.
"Never had it." Jack said as he sat on Hiro's bed with Tadashi.
"Who would've known that we'd all be together again." Tadashi stated as he loomed around his room.
"Took long enough that's for sure." Elsa said as she also looked around.
They sat in his room talking about everything that happened before and how each of them wished they could be like this again and that they were so happy to have it happen. Cass brought them mini sandwiches and slices of cakes. She even stayed to tell them how them being together at that moment reminded her of when they were younger. Jack left to go get his sister from school and came back to Tadashi and let Pippa hang with Aunt Cass. Elsa got a call from her ever worried sister and declared that she had to leave along with Aurora. The two higher before Aurora got into Tadashi's car and Elsa in Jack's. Elsa looked out the window as Jack drived her house which didn't take too long since she was only a few blocks down from Tadashi. She got out and walked in to be hugged by her sister.
"What happened?" she asked.
"I'll tell you tomorrow Anna. Right now, I'm super tired." Anna didn' back and let her sister go to her room in peace. She walked in to see she had a text from Jack.
Have a good night sleep princess.? I'll be there to pick you and Anna up seeing as your car I'd still at the school.?
Elsa smiled at the text as she put it on the charger and changed her clothes to go to sleep declaring she was going to take a shower in the morning.
