Okay, you are free to go now. Have fun.
Chapter 7
Elsa couldn't sleep that night, all she could do was stare up at the ceiling fan. 'I just kissed Anna. A girl I met not a week ago and she has already moved into my house. What are you doing with your life Elsa? You have a tumor, you kissed a girl you just met, and you have no friends here. Why did you even agree to come here? So you could be an artist? Seriously? Your father laughed at you, your mother never supported you. You have no talent, give up stupid girl, give up.'
"SHUT UP!" She screamed, throwing a pillow across the room into her dresser. The door moved slightly.
"E-elsa? Are you okay?" A tired Anna asked from behind the white barrier.
Elsa didn't answer, she could bring herself to form the words she was looking for. Her eyes stung as she began to cry into another pillow. She heard footsteps in the hall. 'Anna come back, I need you. Please come in and lay with me. I'm just scared, don't leave me alone with this monster.' But no words came out, all she could do was sit there and cry.
The blonde stood up, legs unsteady. She moved towards her dresser, bracing herself against the bed frame. She lit her favorite candle, which provided just enough light to find what she was looking for.
The white bandage began to unravel from her hand where it was taped. She looked at her wound. Her other hand closed around the small hole and clamped down hand. Immense pain shot up the blonde spine. She let out a small screech. Blood started to cover her hand, she staggered back. Something crashed to her left.
"Elsa!" The red head darted over to fallen girl. "Elsa, what are you doing? Please stop."
She could feel the small hands try to pry apart her own, but she gripped even harder.
"E-elsa, p-please, don't do this. I-I need you." Tear fell from the frantic red head.
Elsa stopped for a moment, not sure if she heard those words correctly. 'She...she needs...me? B-but no one has ever needed me.' Her hands fell apart, she gasped for breath. "Anna, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry."
Anna picked her the bleeding hand and kissed it. Her tears landed in the blood. She pulled the blonde into her embrace. The rocked side to side, intertwined with each other. "Why? Why would you do something like this?" Anna whispered.
"I'm just a burden Anna. I'm a lost hope, meant to die. I can't do this. I can't li-" Elsa chocked on her words. Piling in to Anna, her body kicked with sobs.
"I need you. I'm not giving up hope, for us, for you I mean. I can't help you if you keep pushing me away Elsa, let me help you. Please, just give me a chance." She pulled the blonde to her feet and looked up into her eyes. "Plea-" Her words were replaced with lips, soft, tender, pink lips.
Elsa broke the kiss after a few seconds. "Okay. On one condition though." The blonde smiled, slightly blushing.
"And what's that?" Anna questioned.
"I get to kiss you whenever I want. And I mean whenever." She giggled.
"Fine, but first lets clean up your hand." The red head pushed Elsa towards the kitchen, "Wait in there." She ran off to her bedroom as Elsa walked towards the kitchen. Elsa looked at her hand, 'What are you doing? You hurt yourself just so she would kick down your door didn't you? Didn't you!? You're pathetic. You deserve to die.' "Stop it." She whispered to herself. 'Sad, pathetic girl, you think I will stop just because you say so. Ha! I am you and we are one. Kill yourself for me will you?' "Shut up! GO THE HELL AWAY! AND STAY AWAY, YOU DEMON FUCK!" She screamed, hands clenched around her head, tears fell once more as her knees went weak.
Anna came running back when she heard the girl scream. "Elsa! Elsa, it's okay." She embraced the girl. "Come now, lets clean your hand and get it wrapped." She wiped away the tears pulling up the small girl once again. The red head took the pale hand and began to clean the dried blood around the wound. She poured some hydrogen peroxide to clean away any things that might have crawled inside the hole. After drying the fragile hand, Anna professionally wrapped it in a bandage she took from her room. She looked up at the blonde girl and said, "That wasn't so bad now was it?" She whipped away a stray tear.
"Thank you Anna. You are too kind to me." Elsa pulled away from the red head and began her journey back to her bedroom.
Anna grabbed at her good hand, "Can I come with you?" she asked shyly. "I don't want you to be alone."
Elsa smiled and pulled her toward her room. The blonde stripped off her sweats, but much to her surprise the red head had already done the same thing. The pair climbed into the king sized bed, nothing but long shirts to cover themselves. Elsa crawled into Anna's arms, closing her eyes as she did. "Thank you." She mumbled into the small girls chest and they both fell asleep. Happy for once.
"Anna. Anna wake up, you're going to be late." Elsa poked and pushed her roommate.
Anna groaned in response. "I don't wanna go to school. Can't I just stay here and cuddle?" She smiled at the blonde girl.
"No, I'm not going to let you drop out of classes. Now go take a shower before I drag you there and bathe you myself." The blonde girl jumped out of bed, "I'm going to make some breakfast. Hurry up."
The red head rolled over and let out a deep sigh. When she inhaled her nose was filled with the scent of vanilla and something she couldn't quite figure out. She pulled herself up and out of the bed, stumbling towards the bathroom. After she closed the door, she looked at herself in the mirror. 'Damn girl, you've got some serious bed head.' She thought. Her hands turned the handle to hot, as she stripped off her shirt.
The hot water cascaded over her naked body. It was relaxing to feel it against her smooth skin, her mind was finally clear. So much had happened in the last couple days that Anna never really had a chance to process it all. But there was one thing she was sure of, everything felt...right.
She turned off the water and stepped out with a smile on her face. She dried herself and slipped on a white dress with little flowers all over it, the dress went down to just above her knees. She spun around in the mirror, her hair flying out in a circle. The red head proceeded to brush and braid her hair into two pigtails.
The smell of bacon and eggs filled the apartment as Anna stepped into the kitchen. "Smells amazing." She smiled at Elsa, before sitting down at the bar.
"Well, hopefully it tastes as good as it smells." Elsa set a plate full of bacon down in front of the red head and another plate of eggs off to the side. "Dig in." She watched as her roommate scarfed down multiple pieces of bacon with a few bites off eggs.
Anna noticed her watching, "Wha?" she asked, her mouth full of bacon bits.
Elsa just laughed, not being able to answer her friend. She turned, opened the fridge and poured herself some milk. "So what are you gunna do after school today?" She asked before gulping down her glass of milk.
"I was thinking I would go see my dad, maybe get some advice from him. You're welcome to come with me. I'm sure he would love to meet you." Anna pointed with her fork at the blonde. She glanced at the clock. "Crap, I gotta go. Text me later if you want to go, okay?"
"Sounds good." Elsa said before waving good bye to her roommate.
'Now what to do until then?' She asked herself. 'I could watch a movie...hmmm lets see.' She flipped through her collection of movies. 'Hmm, scary movies, action movies, romance...nothing sounds good. What's new on netflix?' The blonde turned on her Xbox 360, as she was waiting for netflix to load, she made some popcorn. 'Hmmmm, ohhh there's a new season of Psych! Sounds wonderful.' She choose the famous detective show. She relaxed into her soft couch and ate her popcorn.
"Excuse me is this seat taken?" Anna looked up at the young man who addressed her.
"Uhm, no." She pointed towards the seat with her pencil.
"What are you studying for?" He politely asked.
"Science, I've got a test after lunch so if you don't mind.." Her voice trailed off.
The boy looked at her annoyed slightly. "My names Hans." He smiled, hoping to regain her attention.
"And I prefer girls. So good bye." She waved him off, not even looking up from her book.
A defeated look upon Hans face, he got up and left.
'What a creep.' Anna thought to herself. 'I'm going to fail this test.' She sighed and closed the book, looking around the empty lunch area. 'Why can't Elsa be here..I miss her. Oh, crap I forgot to text my dad.' The red head took out her phone from her bag, found her fathers contact and pressed message.
"Hey dad, I was wondering if I could pop by later today, I need to ask you some questions." She hit send and bit her lip awaiting his reply.
"Sure sweetie, what time should I expect you?"
She pondered her question, 'well I get out at three...then I have to pick up Elsa, so like five maybe?' She frowned at her phone. "Uhm, around 5 maybe a bit earlier." She sent her answer and turned her phone to silent before collecting her things and walking off to class.
"Sounds good. See you soon."
