How I'm I Supposed to Love?

Elsa and Jack

Elsa pov.

I really didn't get my sister. She was going to be married to Kristoff in just a few weeks. How did she know that he was the one? How could she even move on so fast after Hans cheated on her? This made no sense to me. But, being a queen with a heart of ice that's what you would expect. "Elsa? Are you listening to me?" My sister asked. "Sorry, Anna. I have a lot on my mind. But I think the chocolate cake is the best way to go." Cake tasting for a wedding was probably the best part of this whole thing. "Why not the lemon cake? That has a sweet and sour taste to it and the best icing on it. Not too much. Just the way it should be." Said a cheeky voice. Jack Frost was the closest boy I have ever been with but only because we live next door to him. "Really, Jack? I'll try it!" Plus, he gets Anna into trouble. "Jack, leave this to us ladies. You have no business in the wedding." I told him. He and I have been friends, but I know for a fact he likes me. I did agree to go to prom with him but that was it. "Elsa, you know I'm just here to help. And I want to ask you something." his playful smile turned into a cunning grin and I didn't like that. "Jack! No! Whatever it is, the answer is no." I wasn't getting roped in like other girls did in high school. "That was high school! I wasn't the heartbreaker!" Sure. I was there when every girl, who went on at least one date with him, came to me and complained about you and even cursed you behind your back. "What is it, Jack?" Breaking down to his tribble past. "I just want you to meet me in the park. That's all." What was he planning? "Jack, the last time we went there together you told me your feelings and I got the call about Hans and Anna. Why would you want to go back?" I never went back to the park after that happened. And I hoped I never had to. "Because I want to hear your answer. It's been three years. I want to hear it, Elsa. No excuses." Before I could say anything, he disappeared. What was I to do? I dreaded wanting to tell him. We knew each other too well. But the fact he was my friend wasn't why. My secret was.

Later that night I waited by the door waiting for Olaf to come home from Kristoff's house to be home with Anna while I was gone. "I'm home! Oh, Elsa. What is the matter?" Leave it to my little love expert brother to know when I'm troubled. "I'm meeting Jack at the park. He wants an answer. But I don't want to hurt him." I really didn't want to go. "Elsa. Just tell him the truth. If you tell him how YOU feel, I'm sure he'll understand. He is Jack Frost the boy full of joy neighbor." Olaf said with his normal voice. "Let me guess, some people are worth melting for, Right?" Knowing what he was going to say next. "Yup! If it turns out he's the one." I couldn't help but smile. I left the house and made my way to the park. It wasn't that far away from my house. So, as soon as I saw Jack by the fountain I took a deep breath. "Elsa. You made it. You look great for tonight." Why was his charm so attractive? Okay, that is a word I never even thought I would use to describe HIM. "Jack, please understand. I like you and all as a friend and…maybe more." Why did I say that?! "But I can't go out with you." There I said it. "And why not?" What? "I told you-" "You told me what you want to. But that doesn't work on me, Elsa. We've been friends for too long for me to know that. So, what is the real reason?" What was I supposed to do? I don't want to tell him. "I can't." "Can't or won't." Jack knew just how to push me. "Jack I'm warning you." I don't want to hurt you. "Elsa. You won't hurt me." Jack, please stop! "Elsa, I want an answer!" "Because…" "What? What is so bad about us dating?" "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE YOU!" I covered my mouth. I really did say it. Oh no! I want to go home. I want to run. Runaway and never look back. I began to turn and run but Jack caught my hand. "Elsa. Stop it. Don't run away from this. Why do you feel like you don't know how to love me?" I held back my tears best I could. "I saw Anna and how heartbroken she was, and I wanted to protect her. Then just months later she and Kristoff are dating, engaged, and about to be married. I don't know how to love someone else, Jack. I don't know what exactly love is." I couldn't hold it in much longer. I fell to my hands and knees crying. I felt so stupid and pathetic. I was always the strong one. The one with a heart of ice. Why was I feeling so sad? Jack then wrapped his arms around me pulling me into a hug. I kept crying until no more tears fell. "Elsa. I don't know what it is either." What? Then why all this? "I just asked if you'd go out on a date with me? Not asking you if you loved me. How can I know if I love you if I haven't been on a single date with you?" So, this was all it was. Just a date. "Then, maybe we can try it." Jack grinned. "Is that a yes?" I smiled then nodded. "Yes. I'll go on a date with you, Jack" We laughed and went home together.

Jack pov.

Elsa agreed to go on a date with me and after that she agreed to a second date. And a third. After so many dates it was a year and Anna and Kristoff constantly needed a babysitter. On top of that, my duties as a guardian got tougher. We hardly ever see each other now. I really wanted to be with Elsa but at the same time I just couldn't say the three words to her. "Jack, what is matter?" North came up to me as I looked out the window. "I just am thinking." "Jack? Thinking?" I chuckled. "Yes, I can think, unlike you kangaroo." I called Bunny. "I am not a kangaroo!" "Is it Elsa?" Tooth asked. She was the one person who knew who I was in the past. I was the wild child who loved to just have fun and make fun of others. And looking back, I see why she hesitated for so long. I was just a jerk. "Let me guess. Your having second thoughts on dating the ice queen? Wait! Or is it you can't get close to her? She won't open still. Or did you make a huge mistake and she is suffering for it all because-" "BUNNY!" Tooth yelled. He shut right away after that. "I can't get the courage to tell her I love her." I looked at Bunny. "That is the problem. Just me. I now know what she was feeling when we started. Scarred of change and yourself." This was it. "Are you going to tell her at all?" North asked me. I sighed and shook my head. "I don't think that is the right answer mister!" Now Tooth is yelling at me. Baby Tooth flew up to me and wrote on the window. "Tell her! Or else!" Baby Tooth was scary for just a tiny fairy. "And if she doesn't return the feeling?" North pat me on the back. "It's worth the risk and heartbreak. Go!" He said. I smiled at my friends and left to see Elsa. I arrived pretty quickly as Anna and Kristoff were going out with their baby. I took my chance to sneak in and look for her. I looked everywhere, and I couldn't find her anywhere. I need to find her. Then as I left the house. "Jack?" I heard her voice. I look back and see she is sitting on the roof where we had our first kiss. "Elsa. I really need to tell you something." I took a deep breath and looked into her eyes. Could I do it? Can I tell her? Why is my mouth so dry? She looks beautiful right now. Come on say it! But what if she gets scared? What if she runs away again? What if she doesn't return my feelings? Will she hate me and not talk to me the rest of our lives? "Jack? What is it? You can tell me. I won't run." She puts her hand on my cheek rubbing her thumb over it. "Elsa…I…" Just tell her Jack Frost! "I love you!" Holy frostbite! I told her. She…is smiling. "I love you too! I love you, Jack!" I couldn't believe it! "I love you, Elsa!" I took her and lifted her up spinning her around on the roof. When I put her down we kissed sweetly and from that day on we never doubted anything.
