Chapter 10: Letting Go of the Bandage

Elsa's P.O.V.

What a nice day ever since I forget my past. As I can see, I can remember the history of my life: embarrassments, blood, sweat, hurts, and so on and so on. The thing that I cannot forget was the time that a sorority group pushed me so hardly on the wall and broke my arm because of the hard impact.

I knew it was easy to regret, but the things I learned were:

1) Before you leave, have a friend right beside you. Don't go alone.

2) Make a strategy on how to stop them. That's all.

Anyways, I was reminded, "Past is past." Good. Right now, I'm not sure if my arm would be completely healed but I'm sure it will be healed.

A week later my arm was broken, Punzie and I approached the doctor. We went to the same route, same clinic and met the same doctor. We greeted him normally and collapsed on a comfy sofa. He was in a rush; he got some more patients to meet. He looked for my important files. After all that rummaging, he assisted me in taking off my bandage. It was well, of course, but when I tried to move it, it grew painful. I was astonished at the doctor's reaction, though it could not help my arm.

"Doc, why is my arm like this?" I asked, pointing to my left arm.

He looked on my left arm carefully and answered, "It ended up like that, but if you move it, it will be back to normal."

"Oh…?" I asked interestingly.

"Mmm-hmmm," he replied. "In fact, you will experience pain. Make it used to physical movement so that you can still move it. Okay?"

Punzie and I stood from the sofa and I nodded. "Yes, doc. Thanks!" He smiled beautifully then we left the clinic. We rushed to the cafeteria and got our food. There was a table and there were my friends, Jack, and somehow this guy who I saw out of the blue, without knowing his name. "Hey, guys," I greeted.

"Hey, Elsa," Jack stood first then wrapped his arm around me. I felt something quite different right now. He wrapped his arm around me before loosely, but this time it gets tight. I can't let go. I snarled at him, but, instead, he smirked at me. I sighed sadly, but it was I think, nice?

*fast forward*

In our dorm, I was doing some research for our homework. I got so freakishly pissed off at my homework when my phone rang an alert. I got this text from Jack which says:

Elsa, we have to talk. Uh-oh. What? Okay, I was like, "Did I do something wrong?" I'm not sure. Maybe, you know, I felt like I've done something wrong to him. Instead, I replied, Okay, then, where will we see each other? "Send!" I said happily. If a text just came in my phone awhile ago, this time, almost a flood of texts came in my phone! Some were texts of my friends, others, Anna, etc. but I read this one reply: Jack's. He replied,

Uhh, in the nearest coffee shop. Right now. I even reacted when the text said, "Right now." What's going on?! Have I really done something wrong to him? Have I betrayed him? Teased him? Insulted him? Left him? It may not be one talk; it might be such a conversation. I got no choice but to go. He'll be waiting for me. Anyway, I know where it was, so I changed to my clothes. I went out of our dorm, but as I opened the door, Punzie was right in front of the door, and it seems like she's frightening me!

She was so astonished as she sees me about to leave. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the nearest coffee shop."

"And why?" she asked.

I bit my lip. "Jack and I are going to talk about something. Maybe it's, uh—confidential, so I have to go. I'll be back!"

She smiled. "Okay, Els, take care." I gave her a hug in return and brought my phone with me. I went out of the dorm building and rushed to the nearest coffee shop. I was looking for Jack, and he was waiting for me on a table. I was expecting a very upset face; instead what I saw was a smile.

"Elsa, have a seat," he said, escorting me to the seat I am sitting to. I sat on it peacefully. There were cups of coffee served for us and two cinnamon rolls for us to eat. He was so breathless as he looked at me.

"Elsa, let's talk," he started. Suddenly, I remembered the text he sent me awhile ago.

I got the guts to say it. "Jack…did I do something wrong?"

He shook his head. "No."

"Ohh reeeeaaaalllly?" I said in a rising-falling intonation.

"Yes, yes, I'm serious," he replied but I kept on shaking my head repeatedly until he stopped.

I suddenly said, "You're lying."

"Come on, I'm telling the truth!" he replied thoughtfully.

I sighed, "Okay. Go talk!"

He started with a sigh, "Actually, you did not do anything wrong. And we're going to talk about the beautiful things!"

"Really, Jack?" I asked pleasingly.

"Definitely," he replied, then started. "How's your arm, Elsa?"

"Oh, uh," I paused, looked at my arm then replied, "good! It's well." He nodded thoughtfully. "I'm afraid everyone might say we're dating."

He hushed my mouth and said with a laugh, "No! We're not! We're just talking." I sighed and stayed silent. After our snack, he brought me outside for some fresh air. I looked at him; he looked at me. He wrapped his arm around me and put his mouth near my back part of the neck. He breathed on my neck. His breathing was so ticklish that I can't imagine how I can endure such thing. My heart beats fast again. He came near me and I thought he was going to give me his first kiss. Instead, he went near my ear and said in a very, very, sweet voice, "I liked you."

That was just the beginning.

Oh, god?! All for the sake of school, I'm tired, and now I'm writing a new chap. This chapter might be so unpredictable for me. Anyway, Jelsa fans, if you think you can review on my fanfic because my goal is to get at least 100 above reviews. Please, even if I have a hundred reviews, you still have the chance to because "at least" means the exact or more than the exact. So much for facts right now.

Another thing, I really missed you all badly! I thought it was really good, but thank God I typed a new chap. It will take me either a month or a week for me not to type a new chap because First Long Test is approaching and I'm freakin' out.

Oh, and before I forget, I made some changes because there were mistakes as I didn't notice. That's all :). Love yah!

Now, tell me all what're you thinking?
