Anna was radiating heat, Elsa could feel it from where they sat in the back of Olaf's little Saturn. Hans drove Elsa's car behind them in case Tiana needed a ride home later on, and so Anna could go home once she sobered up. The strawberry blonde had barely said a word, but had been texting furiously on their way to the campus medical center.

Elsa wasn't sure whether to comfort her or just let her worry.

She chose the latter, glad that she had the good sense to grab Anna's jacket before they left the house. It was a bit chilly outside-and, even though she enjoyed the cold, she had a navy blue hoodie on over her tank top.

Mia said that Tiana may have been given roofies or some party drug at a party-Anna had turned white and immediately went into crisis mode, asking several other sisters to come to Elsa's and make sure everyone got home okay. Then, after determining she had too much to drink, she rushed downstairs to look for someone to drive to the hospital.

Hans had been drinking slowly since the party started, and Olaf had barely had more than one beer, so both boys were okay to drive. Elsa had volunteered to go, obviously, because it was what friends do and because she was sure Anna was her friend now, albeit a friend she would like to keep making out with for a few hours.

Anna stormed into the emergency room, twin braids flapping angrily, with Elsa and the two guys hurrying in their wake. A nurse rose to greet them, but Anna was making a beeline for a young man sitting in the lounge area. He stood, too, but his dark eyes looked troubled as he was met with obstinate anger.

"What the hell, Naveen!" barked Anna, her fists balled up, her shoulders shaking. "Real classy joint you've got running over there!"

"Hey, Anna, thanks for coming, I-"

"You better tell me what the fuck happened," she said, jabbing a finger into his chest, "and why I am in the fucking hospital because someone slipped roofies to one of my sorority sisters!"

The other people in the waiting room were staring, and Naveen slid back into his seat with his hands up.

"Anna," he said, looking relieved as the others approached. His accent sounded Latin American, possibly Brazilian. "It was some guy I didn't know. One of my housemates let him in-"

"I don't give a god damn," she snarled. "You know what could have fucking happened to her! How much did she have to drink?"

"I don't-I don't know," he said, seeming to shrink into the chair. "I wasn't babysitting her, Anna, she is-"

"She is your girlfriend, she is your responsibility," Anna spat, leaning over him and smacking her hands on the back of the chair. Naveen's head was as far back as it could go, as he tried to avoid the angry sorority president.

"Anna-" Elsa began, stepping forward.

"Tell your housemates they need new fucking friends. Do we know who it is?"

"Yeah, they took him into custody," Naveen said softly.

"And where the fuck was Charlotte? Didn't they go together?"

The handsome man in the chair sighed. "Charlotte was passed the fuck out downstairs, she had way too much to drink. I was only gone for like ten minutes, I carried her upstairs and I was making sure she was okay."

From the side where Elsa stood, she could see the younger girl deflate a little bit.

"God damn it," she said, turning her head and pushing herself off of the chair. She collapsed next to him, threw an arm over her shoulder. "Why are you such a saint?"

"I'm not," he said. "I should have asked Tiana to come help me, I shouldn't have left her alone."

"Why do people insist on trying to slip people drugs?" Anna moaned. "We live in a world of sick fucks." She looked over at Naveen, who was bent over and looking at his hands. "Is Charlotte okay?"

"Yeah, she'll be just fine. I think one of the other sisters was going to come pick her up."

"Damn it, I'm sorry Naveen," she said softly. Elsa and the boys slid quietly into some chairs across from them.

"It's okay," he replied, patting her hand.

Being tipsy in the hospital was a weird feeling. Elsa could definitely tell she had alcohol in her system, as her vision was hazy and the room warmer than normal. But her thoughts felt clear, no doubt after being jarred into action just a few moments ago.

A nurse walked out. "Mr. Maldonia?"

Naveen sprang up, and Anna did too.

She smiled at them. "Your friend is fine. We have her hooked up to an IV to monitor her heart rate. When did she pass out?"

"On the way here," Naveen said quietly, looking down. "I came downstairs from helping another friend, and Tiana was acting really weird and had been drinking something that we weren't serving at the party so I drove her here. She's also-"

"Diabetic, I know," the woman said kindly. "Her blood sugar is a little high, but she'll be fine. We are going to run some toxicology tests to make sure we know what kind of drug she drank. She'll be passed out for a few hours, but I think she'll be okay."

"Can I see her?"

"No, I'm sorry sweetheart. Relatives only for now."

"Do sorority sisters count?" Anna asked meekly.

"No ma'am, I'm afraid they don't. We can have someone call you when she's okay, or?"

"I'll wait here," Naveen said.

"So will I," said Anna firmly. "I want to make sure she's okay when she wakes up."

She looked over at the other three, who were trying not to be intrusive. "Guys, I-I don't know how to thank you." They all looked up. Anna looked so tired all of a sudden, a bit pale, her freckles standing out on her skin. "Really. For inviting me over, for driving me to the hospital…"

Hans stood, walking over to sit next to her. "It is no trouble. My mother, she had many other sons besides me, and you learn that helping other people, it's something that you need to do if they are friends or family." He took Anna's hand in his, and Elsa felt a surge of jealousy. "Everything will be fine, it seems."

"Thank you, Hans," she said.

"Do you want us to stay with you?" he asked.

"No, really, you should get back to your party. Back to your house! Oh gosh, my sisters are probably all still there with Kristoff and the other guys."

"I'll stay," Elsa said quickly, standing. Anna threw her a grateful glance, her aquamarine eyes looking bleary already, her brow clouded with worry.

"Hans, dude, we should probably get back," said Olaf quietly. "Leave Tiana to some friendly faces."

"Okay, I can do that," he said, tossing Elsa her keys. "Good luck." he leaned in to give Anna a quick hug and stood up, Elsa practically diving into his seat in case he changed his mind.

She awkwardly introduced herself to Naveen before the young man resumed his position in the chair, head resting against the wall, eyes closed, arms folded.

Anna was rubbing her temples with one hand and texting with the other.

"You okay?" Elsa asked quietly, leaning over and breathing in that nice citrus-y smell. This girl is nothing but sunshine, she thought fondly.

"Hnnnnng," came the reply.

"Okay, bad question. Can I get you anything? A chocolate bar from the vending machine?"

"I think I have a migraine," mumbled the younger girl.

"Okay, no chocolate." the blonde replied, hesitating before putting her hand on Anna's back and beginning to trace a line up and down along the seam of the brown leather with her palm. "Need some water? Coffee? I might have Advil in the car."

Anna locked her phone and leaned back, wincing at the bright light. "Can you ask them to turn those lights down?" she muttered. "Hurts my eyes."

Elsa frowned in sympathy. She sometimes got migraines around the time of her period, and had occasionally gotten stress headaches. She wiggled her arm free and slid off her hoodie, plopping it gently over Anna's face.

"Here," she said as the other girl snorted in surprise. "That'll block the light out, okay?" A nod. "Do you want to go sit in the car, where it's dark?" A shake of the head. "...okay."

The blonde pulled out her phone, unsure of what else to do, and flipped through magazines for a while until Anna whipped the hoodie off of her head.

"Where's the bathroom?"

"I, uh.."

"I think I'm gonna be sick," she said, standing up and almost falling over an end table as she rushed to the nurse's station. The kind woman pointed to the right, and Anna wobbled off in her boots as a concerned Elsa stood up. Ugh, still a bit tipsy.

"Um...I think she may need a cup of water?" she said, sidling over to the nurse. The woman smiled and dug around in a drawer, producing a sleeve of plastic cups which she handed over to Elsa. The blonde thanked her, weaving her way through the other half of the waiting room and down the hall, where she hesitated in front of a door marked "women" before pushing her way in. She heard a toilet flush.

"...Anna?" she asked tentatively.

A grunt echoed around the room.

Elsa filled the cup with water from the sink, turned to see Anna hunched over on the floor in one of the stalls.

"I feel a little better," the young girl said quietly. Elsa crouched and nudged her shoulder with the cup.

"You should drink this," she said. "Do you want me to turn the lights off, or are you gonna be okay?"

"Think 'm fine," Anna mumbled, taking a sip. Elsa fiddled with the end of her braid, not sure how else to help and also not sure how much she wanted to help someone who had just thrown up.

"I may have some mints in the car," she said. "If that would help you feel better…"

"Just gonna stay here forever."

"Do you think you're still tipsy?"

Anna shrugged halfheartedly.

"Do you want to go back to the waiting room and sleep?"

She paused, then nodded slowly.

"Okay," said Elsa. "Give me your cup and I'll help you stand."

Back in the waiting room, Naveen was still asleep as Elsa guided Anna back into her chair. The younger girl slumped over on Elsa's shoulder, pulled her knees onto the chair, and shimmied the hoodie back onto her head.

"Why don't you take your shoes off? ...here, I'll do it," she said, leaning over slightly. Anna's head drooped onto the chair as Elsa pulled off the little boots.

"Thank you," Anna mumbled through the fabric as Elsa sat back up. The younger girl cuddled closer to her, and Elsa wrapped an arm around her shoulder to make them both more comfortable.

"It'll be okay," she whispered to the girl under her hoodie. "She'll be just fine."

Elsa must have dozed off with her, because she jumped when a nurse put a tender hand on her shoulder. Anna emerged from under her makeshift blanket, eyes cloudy, but brightened when she saw the pretty black girl in a green skirt and white tank top standing there. Elsa glanced at her phone. It was after 5 a.m.

Naveen was first up, embracing his girlfriend and murmuring something that she was laughing at, stroking his hair and kissing his cheek. Anna hugged her next, crying now, and Elsa gave her a smile as the dark-skinned girl looked up from her sorority sister's embrace.

Anna put on her shoes and thanked the nurses for their help. The three of them helped Tiana, who was still a little wobbly, out to Naveen's car. Elsa had an arm around Anna's waist as the younger girl sniffled.

"Come on, let's get you home."

She drove slowly, with the strawberry blonde curled up in the passenger seat, still clutching the hoodie. At the sorority house, Naveen and Tiana held the door for them and they all slipped quietly upstairs.

"Thanks again," Tiana whispered when they were at her door. "I'm just going to sleep this off...well, sleep it off more."

Anna took a detour into the bathroom to brush her teeth and pee while Elsa waited outside, and then shuffled down to her room.

"Are you gonna be okay?" Elsa asked, waiting in the doorway as Anna turned on her desk lamp and collapsed in her chair with a sigh. The hoodie stayed draped across her lap.

"Yeah," she said softly. "Thank you. I just...there's a lot that could have gone a lot worse now, and I'm going to have to report the hospital situation to the sorority headquarters, and we already got in so much trouble last semester...and…" she trailed off, her voice cracking, and Elsa came to kneel next to her.

"Hey," she said firmly. "You'll be fine. Everything turned out okay. Everyone got home okay from my house, right? Did you check your phone?" Anna nodded. "I think everything will be just fine," continued Elsa, taking one of Anna's hands in hers. "You need some sleep right now. Don't stress out too much, okay? I think it'll be better in the morning."

"Yeah, right." Anna said thickly. "I'm the worst president ever."

"You are not," came the firm reply. "You are loving and smart and so good to these girls. And they know it. Tonight was a rough night, but hopefully everyone will be more careful and more watchful of strangers at parties."

"No one is ever allowed out of this house again except for school. Except for the service project at your animal shelter in a few weeks. And no more boys!"

Elsa smiled. "Okay, tell them that tomorrow and see how much they enjoy it. But if there's a no boys rule, maybe I'll consider joining. Boys are terrible. Except my roommates," she added as an afterthought as Anna chuckled. "Everything will be all right."

Elsa had a strong urge to take care of things, and it had kicked in for Anna a while ago-especially since the younger girl was so rattled by the evening's events. God, how stressful would it be to have to think of the well-being of a house of sorority girls along with your own? She knew, even without knowing Anna very well still, that this young woman would stop everything in her life to help her sisters. To help anyone, really.

She brought the warm hand to her lips, kissed it softly. "Come on, young lady. Off to bed." She gently pulled Anna to her feet. Shoulders slumped, the younger woman kicked off her shoes and headed to her dresser, rummaging through and pulling out some shorts and a t-shirt.

"Anything else I can get you?" Elsa asked, not really wanting to go back home yet.

"I...I don't think so. I have some water over there, I think."

"Okay," said the taller girl, hands in her pockets now, unsure of how to say good night after making out earlier in the night and then Anna having a stress headache and puking in the hospital bathroom. She approached slowly for a hug as Anna tossed the t-shirt and shorts onto her bed and turned.

"Elsa," she said, something in her voice that the older girl couldn't place.

"Yeah, Anna?"

"I…I don't know how to thank you. You...went above and beyond being a good friend, and I know we really don't even know each other that well, but...I would like to think we're friends, and I'd like to keep hanging out, and," she was twisting her hands together, "I would like to…"

Elsa cut her talking off with a soft touch of her lips, stroking the shorter woman's cheek with both thumbs, as she suddenly figured out what that look in Anna's eyes meant.

"Text me tomorrow," she said softly, gently breaking the kiss. "We'll figure out a time to meet. And I'll leave that sweatshirt here so you have an excuse to talk to me again," she said with a wink as she gave Anna a quick squeeze and headed out the door.
