Weren't expecting this, now were you? Honestly, neither was I, but I just had to do it. I was heartbroken for the first time in my life, and I just didn't know what to do. I woke up this morning, had a great day, when not too long ago, I received a short message that has left me... well you can imagine. Curious on what happened? well it was something not quite like this, but this was how i felt.
Rain poured in the cold empty night on a small street in Arendelle. Not a creature was stirring, for who would want to be in the rain on a night like this? Certainly nobody who wanted to have a warm night huddled in a blanket.
Clearly Anna was the only person here not to get that memo, for she was outside in the cold dark night, feeling like nothing was of worth anymore.
Anna sat on the sidewalk, her heart breaking with ever sob that racked her body. Tears were spilling from her eyes as she continued to think about what had happened only an hour ago. she had woken up with a bright smile on her face this morning and now she felt like her world had just ended. She felt like she would never be all right ever again
Hans. her first love, her one true love. She found him with another woman. she just didn't understand. Wasn't she good enough for him? hadn't she given up anything and everything for him? they had (operative word being had) been together for almost six months, and it was like a dream come true. they went out on dates, they kissed, they did almost everything that any normal couple did, or at least that's what Anna thought. She thought she knew what love was, she thought that she was ready for the next step in her relationship. She had opened the door and found Hans on the couch with that bimbo, and after a few short string of curses and more than a few punches to the face, Anna left her apartment in tears.
Which is how she found herself in the rain, soaking wet, hot tears running down her cheeks, mixing with the rain tat seemed to symbolize how she felt. Why… what had she done wrong? She roared in pain and anger, slamming her hands on the ground furiously pounding her fists on the pavement, screaming louder and louder as she cut her skin and fresh blood started to poor.
"You bastard!" she cursed to the cold empty air "I loved you! I-" Anna's voice cracked, and she moaned in agony as she slumped onto the gravel, her sobs quieting slightly, but the tears increasing in frequency. She didn't care anymore. Nothing mattered anymore. To the world, she was just another person, making a fool of herself in public. To Hans she was nothing but a foolish naïve little girl. To herself, she was nothing but a fool.
"Why…" she moaned, feeling herself get soaked but she didn't care.
At least until a shadow passed over her and the rain stopped pouring on her. Surprised, Anna looked up to find Elsa dressed in a warm jacket, another wrapped around her waist (clearly for Anna) an umbrella covering her and Anna from the piercing rain.
"Anna…." she whispered, clearly seeing the distress that she was in. she bent down on her knees, taking Anna by the shoulder. She gently lifted Anna up, so that the younger girl was on her knees and eye level with her "was it him?" it was a statement, not a question.
Anna nodded, before throwing herself at Elsa, burying her face into Elsa's neck., crying harder than before. Elsa held her close, holding back tears of her own as she cradled Anna in her arms she took a deep breath
"Anna. He wasn't the one for you. it wasn't anything you did. You shouldn't compromise for someone. That's the dark side of love. But I can promise you this. You'll meet someone who loves you for you. You're feeling something that everyone else has. Even me. You'll wake up tomorrow thinking it will be hard to feel better but every day afterwards, it will be easier. Until you wake up one day and realize that you've moved on."
Tonight, Anna didn't believe those words, but she took them to heart. And in time if she met a gruff mountain man by the name of Kristoff, she would look up at Elsa with a smile, silently thanking her for what she had said that night.
Yeah, like "Engaged" this was based on something that happened in my life, only everything is reversed. I'm Anna and my brother is Elsa, paraphrasing something he said to me when he found me crying. I hurt so bad, and I just felt miserable. my brother was even less happy. I can't blame him, but... I just wish it didn't happen. Not like this.
To all the who have a significant other, hold them close and love them with all your heart.
