CHAPTER 11: PROMISES
"Oh come on!" he whined. Elsa giggled softly. "I am not going to that techno-boy." the platinum blonde said, was trying to sound serious. "Elsa Arendelle! Your voice is amazing! Stop hiding this truly beautiful talent from the world!" he shouted softly. Elsa laughed. She looked at him with love, happiness and hope. The young man pouted cutely. "Okay... Just for a once though." Elsa surrendered. "Yes!" he yelled victoriously. "What do you want me to sing?" Elsa asked. "It doesn't matter, I just want to hear your voice once again." he said dreamly.
Elsa giggled at his expression and started to sing a song. He watched her happily, dazed by her amazing voice. Once the song finished, he immediately kissed her cheek, made her blush. He smiled and hugged her. "Can you make me a promise?" he whispered hopefully. Elsa couldn't say no to him. "What promise?" "You will never going to hide yourself, especially your voice. It is a true talent like the many talents of yours, don't you ever afraid to show them." he murmured seriously.
Elsa smiled. "I promise."
November 30. Elsa remembered that day. November 30. The worst day in her life. There were two days that were the worst of her life. Both of them were equally the worst. November 30 was one of them. She remembered that day, with an every single detail. That day a year ago... Was much worse than a nightmare because it was a nightmare that came true. November 30. Today is November 30.
Elsa Arendelle was all dressed in black. She had no make up in her face. Her eyes... her blue eyes were dark and deadly, lifeless. She remembered that day, a year ago, a terrible thing happened: She lost him. He died.
Elsa was hugging her books tightly, she didn't know why she came to the school today... Oh right, today she had selection to get into the musical. She promised him that she would never afraid to show her talents. She was going to keep that promise. With a melancholic walk, she went to her locker. She put her books, instead of closing it, she just stood there. She stared at the photo in her locker, the photo of him and her together, smiling. She immediately cleaned her tears and hardly closed her locker. She didn't care if someone saw her crying. This day wasn't a day to think about a damn thing.
"Elsa!" Astrid shouted lightly to her, but her face immediately became pale when she saw Elsa's very sad face. "Are you okay?" Astrid asked slowly. Elsa nodded. "Yeah, I am just really tired." she lied. She knew Astrid didn't believe her, she promised herself that one day she would tell everything to Astrid and Flynn... but not today. Astrid raised an eyebrow but didn't push her. "Elsa look, I know something happened and I know you are not ready to tell me yet. But I want you to know that I will be there when you are ready to tell me." she soothed her softly and honestly.
Elsa nodded, tried not to cry. Then she hugged Astrid tightly. "Can you make a promise?" she asked. "What?" "Please don't leave me." the platinum blonde whispered shakily. Astrid smiled softly and sadly. "I won't. I will be always by your side. I promise."
Elsa laughed bitterly. He said those same things too. But he couldn't keep his promise. That day, on November 30, Elsa lost her best friend and her lover. She lost him.
"Hiccup." he called out in a soft, brotherly tone. Hiccup cleaned the blood on his face. "I am okay." he spat hardly, the blood was still leaking down from his head. "They've gone to far. This is much worse that bullying." he said calmly. Hiccup gritted his teeth furiously. "I know! Stop saying the things I have already known!" he hissed. He didn't scowled at Hiccup. He was still smiling softly with a sad look on his face.
"Does Elsa know this?" Hiccup asked worriedly. "Elsa? No, she doesn't know that they beat you up. I just made an excuse to come here but you know her, she is clever, she will understand something is wrong if we lose more time." he explained. "Well if she sees me, then she will see my injuries. Not matter what we do, she will understand this." Hiccup murmured. "She will definitely kill them if she finds them." "Yeah, even I don't want my bullies to have that pain." Hiccup chuckled. "Come on, there is a platinum blonde waiting for us, I bet she is extremely worried right now." he said and extended his hand to stand Hiccup up. Hiccup hesitated but then grabbed his hand.
"Thank you. For always being with me. I still don't understand why you and Elsa are friends with me. I am a nerd, awkward, a loser." he mumbled sadly. His gaze became stern. "You are not a loser, Hiccup. You are clever, you are the best person of mechanizing things and you are an amazing leader. By the way, me and Elsa is not your friend." he said. Hiccup raised an eyebrow. "We are you best friends. We are your siblings. We will always got your back like how you will always got our back." he continued seriously. Hiccup smiled. "I promise I will always got your and Elsa's back... brother." Hiccup promised. "I know... brother." he smiled. But Hiccup didn't keep his promise. He didn't protect Elsa or him.
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock entered the school with empty, lifeless and deadly eyes. His green eyes were dark. He was all dressed in black. Today, he wasn't the usual awkward, sweet brunette boy. Today he was thr sad, tired boy who was in so much pain. November 30. He remembered that day with every single detail, a year ago he lost him. He walked the hallway slowly and heavily.
"Hiccup are you okay?" asked a beautiful voice suddenly. Hiccup turned around and found himself looking at Astrid. If it was another day, he has already started to rambling and blushing because damn, she actually cared. But he didn't. He smiled weakly to her. "Hey Astrid. Yeah, I am okay." he murmured. Astrid shook her head. "You are lying. I saw Elsa five minutes ago, she is in the same situation as you. Hiccup, look I am thankful that you bother to tell me that you and Elsa have a complicated past but really, what's going on?" she asked worriedly. "I can't tell you." he whispered. "Why!" Astrid growled, was hurt from his answer. "Because I don't want to lose you. I don't want you to hate me. I don't want you to look at me like the way Elsa looks at me now: Hurt, hate, anger, sadness... I can't." he choked out.
Astrid's face softened. Hiccup looked at her blue eyes boldy. She was so beautiful. She was so amazing, such an incredible beauty. She was tough, independent, strong and... she was perfect for him. He was in love with Astrid Hofferson.
"Just... I just want you and Elsa to be happy, nothing more. I don't know what you did to Elsa, Hiccup. But I won't ever hate you. You told me that once you and Elsa were best friends, you guys were like twins, siblings. If you guys cared that much for each other, then I don't think Elsa doesn't really hate you. She is hurt, that's all." Astrid soothed him softly.
Hiccup chuckled bitterly. Then he did the most unexpected thing: Without any warning, he pulled Astrid closer and hugged her so tightly. "Just please, please never leave me." he whispered and caressed her hair. Astrid was full of shock and her face has became already red. "I won't Hiccup, I promise." she promised and hugged him back. She was so glad that he was honest with her. He showed that he cared for her. For that, Astrid was thankful. Hiccup closed his eyes and tried not to let his tears fall. November 30. A year ago, he lost his best friend, brother.
Elsa sighed and continued to sitting on the cold floor. She hated them. She hated those stupid girls. "Elsa." "I am okay techno-boy." He chuckled. "No. Something is bothering you." he murmured and sat next to her. Elsa continued to look at the sky, her blue eyes showing so many emotions: Hate, anger, sadness, hurt, confusion, cleverness, determination. "Why... Why I am different?" she asked curiously. "What?"
"Look at me. I am... I am not like the other girls. I can't, I can't flirt with someone or try to get attention from any men. I don't care about popular guys who every girl dies for. I don't have so much girly habits. I am stern, cold. As much as I show my love I am still thinking clearly and in a realistic way. Why, why I am different? I hate this, I can't be friends with the people who are at the same age as me. They are stupid, so empty..." she murmured.
"You are Elsa Arendelle. You are so clever and mature. You had cancer, if someone was in your place, he or she wouldn't bother to learn many languages and learn new things. He or she would think they would die anyway so it is useless to learn something. But you, even if you knew you would die, you still learned, you tried to become a wise, independent girl. I mean, you are the only teenager who read so many book, watched so many documentaries and movies, listened every single music genre. You learned new languages, you learned mathematics, physics, history because you didn't want to die by not knowing this world. You are different, yes. But you are amazing." he said, meant every bit of his words.
Elsa looked at him with a grateful look. "It is Clara and her stupid friends again. They told me that I was a freak... I am used to bullies and I know that they are just pathetic idiots... but they are kinda right. I am a freak." she murmured. "No. No you are not. Look at yourself: You are so fair and I know you will definitely get into Harvard and become an amazing lawyer. You stand up to your bullies but you do think that they have a point. This is not true. You are beautiful, kind, tough, fair, strong, clever, caring. You are not fair to yourself, please understand how amazing you are and love yourself." he complimented seriously. Elsa smiled. "I promise." But she didn't keep promise, she didn't love herself.
Elsa looked at the girls in the concert hall. There were eleven girls who were in the selections. They were giggling, but also exchanging dirty looks to each other. Everybody wanted to be the main actress. Elsa Arendelle didn't care though, she was there because she want to show herself. Anna and Rapunzel were in there too since their voice was really good. The girl's conversations cut of when Mrs. Maleficent came into the room. "Hello students. You are the choosen ones who wrote your name on the list. But of course, we have to decide the main actress and actor... So we need a selection both for girls and boys. Boys will come in a minute, I hope." Mrs. Maleficent announced grumpily. Girls nodded immediately. "Great. Now like you know, I wrote Elsa's name on the list by not asking her. I am not gonna lie, I think she is better than all of you and I want her to be the main actress." Mrs. Maleficent said carelessly. Everyone looked Elsa and sent her a death glare, except Anna who was smiling to her. Elsa of course, didn't care about them, Anna was by her side, that was all matter.
"But this is unfair!" Kida argued. "Yes Mrs. Maleficent, this is unfair. If you are going to be the jury, then I am not in this musical thing." Elsa said calmly. Maleficent nodded. "I know Mrs. Arendelle, I am not an idiot. That's why I called a professional, who is a friend of mine." responded Maleficent. The girls frowned. "I am going to call her. She doesn't know any of you, she will going to decide. There will be no unfairness." Maleficent explained.
Elsa frowned. This woman... this woman had really strange methods, decisions and tactics. Why she suddenly said that she wanted Elsa to win? Elsa sighed but also find it amusing Maleficent's personality. She had to admit though, this woman knew what to do. And to be honest, Elsa admired her. Maleficent was professional and talented. While Maleficent was making a phone call, Jack and so many other boys entered the concert hall.
Elsa raised an eyebrow when she saw Merida, Flynn, Astrid and Hiccup. "Hey Els!" Flynn greeted her lightly. "Hey guys! What are you doing here?" the platinum blonde asked to Astrid and Flynn curiously. "Can't I wish good luck to my best friend?" Flynn gasped sarcastically. "Of course you can wish me good luck but-" "Mrs. Maleficent wanted us too." Astrid murmured. "Well, apparently she somehow knew that I can sing so she wanted me to join. I don't know how the hell this crazy woman knows everything." Flynn continued. Astrid and Elsa's eyes grew bigger. "You can sing?" the two girls gapsed simultaneously. "Yeah, I never thought I was good so I didn't tell." Flynn admitted sheepishly. "I am here because Maleficent wanted me to play battery." Astrid said. Elsa frowned. "Mrs. Maleficent told me that she thinks a broadway musical. How can we use battery?" she murmured. Astrid simply shrugged. "Who knows? Merida is probably because of this too. I don't even have an idea why Hiccup is here. He doesn't play any instrument, he can't sing either." Astrid said carelessly. Elsa nodded.
"Looks like the little Arendelle is so happy." Flynn suddenly commented and smirked. Elsa didn't understand what he meant. "What?" "Look." said Flynn and pointed his index finger at Anna. Anna was chatting with Kristoff, both of them were smiling and laughing. Elsa's lips curled up a little bit. "Yeah she looks happy. I am glad she met Kristoff." she murmured. "Yeah, yeah I mean they are clearly not flirting." Flynn said cockily, still had that stupid smirk on his face. "Flynn Rider." Elsa snarled dangerously. "What?" "What are you trying to imply?" "Oh come on Els! You know that they will like each other. It is so clear." "It is Anna's choice and I really didn't think like that." Elsa said truthfully.
A bitter smile appeared on Flynn's face. "Trust me, I know, I... I can feel the energy between them. They are like... me and Rapunzel. We were just like them." he mumbled sadly. "Flynn..." Astrid started but couldn't find a word. Flynn looked at her with an understanding look. "It is alright. I mean, I am not gonna lie, I missed Rapunzel so so much. But we won't be together again. It's finished. What we had doesn't exists anymore. She clearly has eyes on Jack." he announced bitterly. "Jack doesn't like her." Elsa said. "What? How do you know?" Flynn asked, was shocked from her words. "It is obvious. His smile didn't reach to his eyes when he is with Rapunzel. I accidentally saw Jack Frost's caring and good side, he is so fake around everybody in this school and to Rapunzel." Elsa said softly. "What do you mean by caring and good? How a guy like him is caring?" Astrid growled angrily. "He has a sister... he loves her so much. Like how I love Anna." "You sound like you have an actual sympathy over him." Astrid hissed. "Astrid calm down." Flynn warned. "He hurts you Elsa." Astrid reminded with wide eyes. "You told me that we even have sympathy over to our enemies. The truth is... I don't hate Jack Frost and I don't see him as an enemy. He is... he is a good person once you get to know him." Elsa statement. "He is good?" Flynn questioned her. The platinum blonde sighed.
"I will tell you everything. Everything about my life. There will be no hidden secrets between us." Elsa said determinedly. Astrid smiled. "There will be no secrets between us." she muttered. "There will be no secrets between us." Flynn repeated. "Thanks guys. I will tell you everything today after school. How about we meet at the park at 5:00 PM?" Elsa asked. "I can come 5:30 PM." Astrid replied, her anger decreased. "Same as here. But don't you think it is too cold? I mean, it is snowing! Winter came early this year and there are so many snow." Flynn argued. "I am Swedish and Elsa is Norwegian. Germany is not a very warm place too. We can handle winter." Astrid said and rolled her eyes. "Alright." Flynn surrendered.
"Students! Attention please!" Maleficent shouted. Everyone in the room immediately stopped talking. "She is coming in a minute." Maleficent announced. Soon, a black haired, green eyed attractive woman entered the concert hall. She had a mischievous glint on her beautiful green eyes. The woman smiled wickedly when everyone gasped. "Hello there students. I am Elphaba Thropp." the woman introduced herself in a intellectual voice. "E-Elpahaba Thropp from Wicked? The famous Elpahaba from Wicked?" Ariel gasped and started to jump. "What?" Eric gasped. "Shit, how Mrs. Maleficent knows her?" Kida asked. Soon whispers started because people were really in shock.
"Enough!" Maleficent shouted. Silence came immediately. Then a laugh. "Oh Maleficent! You never changed!" Elphaba laughed. "Miss. Thropp, please add an formality there." Maleficent warned in her heavy English accent. "I am not your student anymore Maleficent." the woman said wickedly. "Ignorant and spoiled like always." Maleficent murmured under her breath. "Sorry Mrs. Maleficent." the woman pouted fakely. "Anyway, nice to mert you guys! I am really Elphaba Thropp, the famous actress from Wicked. I will be your jury today and I will also help you at this musical. Mrs. Maleficent, my old music teacher called me. I know that her method is a little crazy but I am successful because of her. She is an amazing teacher." Elphaba said respectfully. "Wow." someone gasped. The woman grinned wickedly again. "And that's why I am going to use her method. One of from girls and one of from boys are her favourite students. I suppose you know who they are since Maleficent is honest. Well, I don't know any of you. I heard a girl named Elsa over and over again so I don't want you to tell your name here. I want to guess that two person. There are 11 girls and 8 boys in the selection. I want someone to choose each of them randomly. Who can do that?" Elphaba asked.
"I can! I am not singing." Hiccup raised his finger bravely. "Alright. What's your name boy?" "Hiccup Horrendous Haddock." Elphaba snorted. "What a poor boy, can't your parents find you a proper name? Anyway, Hiccup I trust you. Oh and I want you to choose another song, each of you." Elphaba talked carelessly. "WHAT!" everyone shouted. "I looked at the song list. First of all, all of them are disgusting songs. So I want you to chose another songs. I want to listen your voice when you aren't prepared for that song. Sing me, sing me so deeply and passionately to impress me. Now everyone sit, think a song. Five minutes, then Hiccup will choose the first person. Nobody will get out of here until we finish the whole selection. So go to the toilets now if you need." Elphaba dismissed.
Five minutes later, Hiccup already had planned the line. He made everyone sit down in a proper order. Elsa was the nineth, Jack was the tenth person. They sat down next to each other. "Hey Snowflake." Jack whispered while the first racer was starting to sing. "I told you to not to call me like that." Elsa scolded him. "Well, here I am Snowflake." Jack murmured dramatically. "Shut up Frostbite." Jack grinned. "I just wanted to say good luck." he said, still had that handsome smile on his face. Elsa found his smiles and grins annoying, but she also decided it was indeed handsome. She was a realist, she wasn't going to lie: Jack was handsome. But still, she wasn't a girl who falls for his traps. "Thank you. Good luck to you too." she told softly. "Which song did you choose?" he asked. "You will see." she replied calmly. Jack nodded."I am sure you will be chosen. Your voice is incredible." he murmured. Elsa rolled her eyes. "My voice isn't that good." "Oh please. You are pushing yourself so much. Your voice is amazing just like you, Snowflake. Please don't afraid to show it." he whispered. Elsa froze.
"Elsa Arendelle! Your voice is amazing! Stop hiding this truly beautiful talent from the world!" he shouted softly. Elsa laughed. She looked at him with love, happiness and hope.
"You're confusing me." Elsa murmured quietly. "What?" "You told me that I was a freak, nerd... You bullied me and now you are telling me that I am beautiful, unique and amazing." she murmured. Jack's eyes turned to sad ones. "Look, I know you are probably won't believe me but... I never meant any of those words. Never. I told it you because... I-I bullied you because-" Jack chocked out but couldn't continue. "How about I tell you why I bullied you... some another day? I promise I will tell." he whispered apologetically. "Okay." Elsa nodded. A silence passed.
"Hey Frostbite." Elsa whispered. "Yes?" Elsa bit her lip. "Thanks for coming to my life... Jack." she mumbled. Jack's beautiful blue eyes grew bigger. "W-What?" "If you... If you didn't exist, I would be still in depression. Because of you, I got my strength to fight back again. I... You reminded me the promises that I have maden. You learnt me to love, hate and cry again. But most importantly, you learnt me something I experienced for the first time: You learnt me that a bully and a playboy can change and be a good person. I hope you aren't faking and I hope you will always be like this." Elsa confessed and blushed a little bit. Jack chuckled. "You are making me speechless." "I am sorry." "No it is okay. Thanks for being honest with me." Jack whispered softly.
"Number nine, it is your turn!" Hiccup announced. Elsa carefully got up and went to the stage. "So number nine, which song will you sing?" Elphaba asked from her seat. "Dark Paradise by Lana Del Rey." Elsa replied in a monotone voice. Elphaba raised an eyebrow. "Interesting." she murmured, was barely audible. Elsa saw Hiccup's gaze over her. She ignored him. He knew why she chose that song. "Whenever you are ready, number nine." Elphaba announced. "I am ready." Elsa a little bit shakily. So the song started.
(A/N Normally Elsa is italic in singing but I wrote many flashbacks so she is bold in this chapter.)
All my friends tell me I should move on
I'm lying in the ocean, singing your song
Ah, that's how you sing it
Loving you forever, can't be wrong
Even though you're not here, won't move on
Ah, that's how we play it
Every single person in the room stood there in shock, except Hiccup. Why did Elsa Arendelle chose that song? Dark Paradise was a depressing love song. It was... It was impossible to Elsa Arendelle actually fell in love... wasn't it? Jack's face became pale. He was even more pale then he used to be. Elsa on the other hand, already has closen eyes stood there without moving a muscle.
And there's no remedy for memory your face
Is like a melody, it won't leave my head
Your soul is hunting me and telling me
That everything is fine
But I wish I was dead
"What will I do if I lose you? I-I can't stand that." Elsa asked. He smiled. "You won't lose me." "You promise?" "I promise. Even if I am dead, I will be always by your side. But I am a healthy young man, don't worry" he shushed her softly.
Elsa's voice trembled a little bit but she immediately controlled it.
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
"No! No! No! No!.." she didn't know how many "no" she said that day. Ten? Twenty? A hundered? "He is dead, he is really dead." the platinum blonde whispered and fell to the ground. She closed her ears with her hands and started to scream. She cried, hiccuped and sniffed. He was dead.
Elsa opened her eyes, tears were threatening to come. But her voice... her voice was so amazingly soft and kind.
All my friends ask me why I stay strong
Tell 'em when you find true love it lives on
Ah, that's why I stay here
"Elsa." "I am alright mom." "Elsa no you're-" "Papa. I can handle this. I... I am strong. I will live, both for me and him. He wanted me to live." said the platinum blonde determinedly.
And there's no remedy for memory your face
Like a melody, it won't lift my head
Your soul is hunting me and telling me
That everything is fine
But I wish I was dead
That's when tears started to fall. But Elsa didn't care. Her voice was strong. Her voice was expressing every single detail and emotion.
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight
Oh oh oh, ha ha ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
Oh oh oh, ha ha ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
"Elsa! I am here!" he shouted happily. "B-but... You died! It is impossible!" she choked it out. "It was all a dream Elsa!" Elsa smiled and hugged him tightly. That's when she woke up from her slumber.
He was wrong. This was a dream: He was alive. In the reality, he was dead.
There's no relief, I see you in my sleep
And everybody's rushing me, but I can feel you touching me
There's no release, I feel you in my dreams
Telling me I'm fine
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But that there's no you, except in my dreams tonight
Oh oh oh, ha ha ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
Oh oh oh, ha ha ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
"Elsa... I love you." he confessed softly. "I love you too." the platinum blonde confessed softly too and her eyes were full of tears because she was too happy.
The platinum blonde finished the song. She kept her promise.
Jack's eyes became wide with sadness, hurt, tiredness, confusion. She was in love. No. She is in love with a death man. Elsa Arendelle is in love with a death man. And this wrecked Jack Frost. This tore apart Jack Frost. This crushed Jack Frost. This finished Jack Frost. He is in love with a girl who is in love with a death man.
"Thank you for listening to me." Elsa said after finishing the song. "No... I should be the one. Thank you for singing really deeply... Elsa Arendelle." Elphaba grinned. Elsa's and others's eyes grew bigger. "How?" "It is obvious. Mrs. Maleficent, you were definitely right about her, she is unique." Elphaba nodded to the teacher. Maleficent closed her eyes in approve, opened the, a second later, was proud of Elsa. "I know. You immediately understood that she is Elsa, I am amazed by you Miss. Thropp." Maleficent muttered.
"Miss. Arendelle please take a seat. Number ten!" Elphaba announced. Jack stood up and started to walk. Elsa walked away next to him. He shivered. "Which song, number ten?" asked Elphaba. "Polarize by Twenty One Pilots." Jack said tiredly. "Whenever you are ready." "I am ready." So the music started.
(A/N: Again, Jack is bold and flashbacks are italics)
Help me polarize, help me polarize, help me down
Those stairs is where I'll be hiding all my problems
Help me polarize, help me polarize, help me out
My friends and I, we got a lot of problems
"Jack." "I don't want to come out mom!" the six years old boy shouted while he was hugging himself. "Jack, you can't escape from your fears. Especially by hiding under the stair." his mother reminded him softly. "T-They're bullying me. They said that I am so poor and I have a ridiculous messy hair." he sniffed. "Jack. Please come out, we will sove your problem." his mother said calmly. "You promise?" "I promise Jack." "Okay." said the auburn haired boy and slowly left the little hole which was under their stair. But his mother couldn't keep her promise. The problem, the problems were never solved.
You know where I'm coming from
Though I am running to you
All our feelings deny, deny, denial, oh
I wanted to be a better brother, better son
Wanted to be a better adversary to the evil I have done
I have none to show to the one I love
But deny, deny, denial, oh
"JACKSON OVERLAND FROST!" Caroline screamed. "NO! NO! NO! I WON'T! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! HE CHEATED ON YOU! HOW CAN YOU FORGIVE HIM!?" he shouted desperately. "Because we need money!" Caroline shouted. "Bullshit." the fifteen years old boy spat furiously. "Jack." said Emma while she was crying. Jack looked at her sister worryingly but then his expression changed to the angry one again. "I am leaving here." he announced and left there. He ignored his mother's cry. He left the house. He ran, ran, ran, ran. How many miles did he ran? He didn't know. But he knew that, he kept running for whole night. His feet stopped when the sun came.
Help me polarize, help me polarize, help me down
Those stairs is where I'll be hiding all my problems
Help me polarize, help me polarize, help me out
My friends and I, we got a lot of problems
Jack's voice was angry, meaningful and strong. His voice was free, careless and bitter-sarcastic.
Polarize is taking your disguises
Separating 'em, splitting 'em up from wrong and right
It's deciding where to die and deciding where to fight
Deny, deny, denial
I wanted to be a better brother, better son
Wanted to be a better adversary to the evil I have done
I have none to show to the one I love
But deny, deny, denial, oh
"DO YOU LIKE THIS?" he roared. A slap. "OR DO YOU LIKE THIS ONE?" Another slap. "OR DO YOU FEEL THIS ONE IS BETTER?" A kick. "NO HITTING YOU FROM YOUR FACE FEELS BETTER!" A punch.
14 years old Jackson Overland didn't cry when he got all those punches, kicks and slaps. He was used to it. He was used to the pain and the blood. "Father please stop!" Emma cried. Another slap. But Jack didn't react. "John! You are going to kill him!" Caroline yelled and desperately tried to save her son. "So what? He is useless." the monster roared. Anlther kick. Jack still didn't react. He wished he was a better son so his father could love him.
Help me polarize, help me polarize, help me down
Those stairs is where I'll be hiding all my problems
Help me polarize, help me polarize, help me out
My friends and I, we got a lot of problems
We have problems
We have problems
"Oh look at him! The poor messy freak again!" a boy shouted and started to laugh with his friends. 10 years old Jack didn't care. He continued to walk. "Hey poor freak. I am talking to you!" said the bully. "Get out of me." Jack hissed when the bully touched his shoulder. "Oh come on. We want to have some fun." said the boy and punched Jack from his stomach. Jack snarled and punched the boy. The boy's nose bleed. The bully immediately started to scream and cry.
"This is the third time in this week, Mrs. Overland. Your son is uncontrollable. He is trouble. He can't be in this school." the teacher hissed. Caroline nodded. "I would say something, but I unfortunately can't change your little mind over there." Caroline snapped calmly and took Jack to the car.
Domingo en fuego
I think I lost my halo
I don't know where you are
You'll have to come and find me, find me
Domingo en fuego
I think I lost my halo
I don't know where you are
You'll have to come and find me, find me
We have problems
We have problems
Jack's voice wasn't showing many emotions like Elsa's voice. His emotions were behind under it. But his voice was telling a story. A story that nobody could tell like the way he did.

Jack finished the song. He had problems. Welcome to the life.
Elsa listened him, she was in his voice's transition. His voice was amazing. But now... It made her speechless. What was hidden under that boy? The way he sang... it was telling a story. A story that she wanted to learn.
"Jack Frost." Elphaba murmured. "Yes, I am Jack Frost." "I am not gonna lie Mr. Frost. This was really impressive." Elphaba nodded. "Thank you." "Take a seat Jack." she demanded softly
Jack silently took a seat and ignored people's questioning gaze, including Elsa's. She is in love with a death man, why he fell for her in the first place anyway? She was cold, stern, tactless, stubborn. Why didn't he fall for Rapunzel or any other girl? He had to forget her. He had to forget her or else, his heart would be broken and hurt even much more. Jack knew the way he thought was selfish but he didn't want to get hurt even more. There would be no Elsa Arendelle anymore. He was going to ingore her, just like the way she did. She blamed him about bullying her. Now, she would taste how it was felt to be ignored and not cared by Jack Frost. She hurt him too.
He was done with Elsa Arendelle.
"Finally the selections finished." Elphaba muttered. Maleficent nodded. "It is time to announce." Elphaba said and cleared her voice. "Attention please!" Maleficent shouted. Teenagers looked at to the two woman. "Before telling the rolls, I should tell which musical we will do this year." Elphaba started. "As much as I want Wicked, me and Maleficent decided on a different broadway show. Guys, we are going to perform 'the Phantom of the Opera' this year." she continued. Cheers started and some girls started to jump because of excitement. "I am hanging the list over here. The first practice will be on Monday at lunch break." Elphaba said. The crowd ran to the list and looked at it with curiosity.
the Phantom of the Opera: Jack Frost
Christine Daaé: Elsa Arendelle
Viscount Raoul de Chagny: Flynn Rider
Meg Giry: Anna Arendelle
Madam Giry: Ariel Atlantica
Carlotta: Rapunzel Corona
Piangi: Eric Fisherman
Monsieur Richard Firmin: Pumbaa
Monsieur Gilles André: Timon
Kida giggled. "Well I am glad that I don't have a major role. This is funny. Good luck guys." she said while she was laughing so hard. Elsa looked at the list confusedly. She turned to find Flynn. "I am Christine Daaé. You are Viscount Raoul de Chagny, Flynn." the platinum blonde told him huskily. "Wait... Isn't he lover of Christine?" he asked uncomfortably. "Yes but at the end Christine chooses the Phantom of the Opera over him." Elsa said. "But they are kissing-" "I talked with Mrs. Maleficent about this. She promised that there will be no kissing scene if we don't want to. There is no problem." the platinum blonde reassured. "Oh thanks god." Flynn breathed out deeply because of relaxation. "And who is the Phantom of the Opera?" "Jack Frost." Elsa replied, was not suprised from the truth. "Speaking of the devil..." Flynn muttered. "Hey Elsa. I am the Phantom of the Opera... Aren't he and Christine kis-" "We don't have to. Mrs. Maleficent said we didn't have to kiss." Elsa repeated once again. "Alright. Then see you guys on monday." Jack said calmly but a little coldly, then left.
Elsa stood there with a confusion. "Are you alright?" Flynn asked curiously. "His voice sounded... cold." "No, you are wrong. His voice was calm and monotone." Then it clicked. Flynn was right: Jack's voice wasn't cold, it was monotone. Like a robot. The same strong tone when he bullied her. "You are right..." Elsa muttered and looked at Jack, who was having a conversation with Kida.
He smiled while Kida was laughing but his smile didn't reach to his eyes. Also, Elsa could see the pain in those beautiful blue eyes.
Winter. Today was November 30. Tomorrow was December 1. Tomorrow officially winter would come. But the winter has already come the Burgess. The snow was everywhere and children were playing snowballs. Including Jack Frost.
"Jamie!" he shouted and threw a snowball right into the boy's face. "Oh you are on!" Jamie Bennett shouted and laughed. Pippa, Monty, Caleb, Claude and Cupcake joined their snowball fight. Someone could find the situation strange. A seventeen years old boy was playing with thirteen years old kids. But to Jack, Jamie and his friends were awesome and funny. Jack loved kids. He loved playing with them, spending time with them. Kids were innocent, funny, free and hopeful. They were much better than adults. The group continued their snowball fight, eventually Jack won. "But it is unfair! You are older than us!" Pippa argued. "You always win!" Caleb pouted. Jack laughed. "Alright kiddos. Chocolate cookies are from me, let's go!" he offered lightly while he was going to his home.
"Mom! I came." Jack declared. "And Jamie, Caleb, Claude, Monty, Pippa, Cupcake are here too. Let me guess, you win the snowball fight." Caroline said playfully. Jack chuckled and nodded. "Are there any chocolate cookies?" Caroline became pale. "Emma! Stop eating all of them!" she shouted and ran to the kitchen while the kids and Jack were following her. Emma, of course was eating the cookies hungrily. "Buf mofher it taft so goof." Emma said while she was eating a cookie. "I get you some companies Emma." Jack chuckled and showed the six kids.
Emma frowned. "Gef ouf of my houfe! It is my coofies!" she snarled. "Come on Emma! Nobody can cook chocolate cookies as good as your mother! Please." Jamie whined. Emma stucked her tongue out. "Emma!" scolded Caroline. "Never. Especially not to Jamie!" she snapped. "And why is that?" Jack asked. "Because you spend a lot of time with him. You are acting like he is your brother. Well, back off Jamie! Jack is my brother!" Emma snarled once again. "Oh my god." Caroline sighed.
While Emma and Jamie were exchanging dirty looks, Jack was trying to steal some cookies. But he failed, Emma hugged the jar tightly. "Emma. I'll do whatever you want. Now please share the cookies with them!" Jack gave up. Emma's eyes shined. "Then we will go to the lake and you will teach me how to ice skate... without Jamie!" the auburn haired girl grinned lightly.
"Alright!" Jack accepted. Emma gave the cookies reluctantly. "Let's go to the park brother!" she said and tried to pull Jack to the outside. "Wait a minute. Emma wear a scarf and gloves! And why don't you go a normal ice-skating area? The ice on the lake can be dangerous." Caroline pointed out. "We choose the lake because it is beautiful and people aren't skating in there. I can show how to ice-skate to Emma from there more easily. Don't worry mom!" Jack said while he and Emma was excitedly leaving the house. Caroline smiled when she saw her beautiful children's energy. "Alright, be safe Jackson." "I promise!" Jack said and left the woman with six kids who were eating the chocolate cookies.
Soon the brother and the sister arrived to the lake. Jack smiled at Emma's energy. "Now put your ice-ska-" "Hey look Elsa is sitting on the snow!" Emma pointed at with her index finger Elsa. The platinum blonde was reading a book and resting her back to a tree. "Oh okay." Jack said awkwardly. "Let's go say hello to her!" Emma said excitedly and pulled Jack. "Em-" "Hi Elsa!" Emma ignored Jack. Elsa pulled her earphones and looked at the girl. Elsa gave a real smile for the first time in that day. "Hi Emma! Hi Jack." she greeted them and stared at Jack. Jack swallowed. She was really beauti- no, pull it together Jack! You are going to over her! "Hi Elsa." he greeted in his monotone tone. Elsa's smile died. "Emma? Can you give us a minute?" she asked. Emma nodded and left. There was still mischievousness in her brown eyes.
"Are you alright?" Elsa asked concernedly. "Of course I am." Jack responded, was still in his monotone tone. Elsa frowned. "You sang amazing today." she mumbled. "Thanks, you too." "Are you sure you are okay?" asked Elsa once again. Jack looked at her beautiful blue eyes. They were hurt, sad, confused... concerned. Was she really concerned about him? Jack's expression softened. "I am okay Snowflake. I am just tired." he soothed her in his caring, loving tone. The tone he especially used for Elsa. Elsa relaxed a little bit when she heard that tone. "Good to hear that Frostbite. So... What are you guys doing here?" Elsa asked, tried to talk about something else. "Emma wanted to learn ice skating. There are many people at other places so we chose here to skate peacefully." Jack explained. "Be careful Jack, the ice can be thin." Elsa warned. "Awww you do care! Don't worry Snowflake, I will be alright." Jack said and winked. "I don't want you to die, idiot. It doesn't mean that I care." Elsa scoffed. "Yeah but you care about me." Jack smirked. Elsa rolled her eyes but didn't say anything. Jack's heart shuttered. She actually cared him a little bit. But that care would never increase. She won't feel towards him like the way he did. It was a miracle that she would care about him as a friend.
"Well then bye Snowflake." Jack sweetly with his true smile. That's when Elsa finally understood. That smile. That freaking devilishly handsome beautiful smile. Jack do that smile only towards Emma, his mother... but also to Elsa Arendelle too. She was nervous of his monotone tone because he never used that tone after he stopped bullying her. He always used his caring, lovable finally understood. He really wanted to clean the bad things between them. If he wanted use her, then his voice would be monotone, he would be just a cocky playboy. He couldn't adjust to the role good boy. No, he was real. The good Jack Frost was real. But strangely, he was only real to her. He... he cared about her. But why? She wasn't a friendly person.
The platinum blonde watched Jack and Emma peacefully. Elsa smiled again. Jack was like him in some ways. Jack cared about his sibling. Jack was caring, loving, good and clever just like him. Why did Jack doesn't show his good sides to people? What happened to him? Why did he sang that song today?
Elsa sighed and rested her back to the tree, she wasn't even cold by the snow under her. She loved winter. She loved cold. She just closed her eyes and smiled. Today is November 30. He died but life still continues. Life is still moving on. And Elsa Arendelle was nearly okay with that.
Jack slowly took his shoes off. With bare foots, he stepped to the frozen lake bravely. "Jack are you crazy? It is so cold!" Emma gasped. Jack chuckled then looked towards Elsa, who was watching him, was slightly amused. There was at least 25 meter between them but he could feel the sparkle on her eyes. "You know that I am good with winter." Jack said. "Yes, brother I know but you are still a human!" cried Emma. Jack chuckled. "Emma just wear your ice skates. I am alright." he soothed her, truthfully. "Okay." Emma mumbled nervously and slowly wore her ice skates. "Now come here." Jack ordered and tapped his foot to the frozen lake softly. The auburn haired girl's eyes became wide. Emma shivered and stepped to the lake. She shakenly and desperately tried to came towards Jack but she lost her control and- "Jack!" screamed Emma.
Before she could fall, two pairs of strong arms caught her immediately and pressed her into a tight hug. "It is alright Emma." Jack whispered and patted her back. "Jack-" "Ssh. There is nothing to be afraid of Em. I am here. Your brother is here. You can do this." he murmured softly. "Okay." Emma sniffed. "Now, I am going to release you." Jack said and released her. Emma was still shivering. "Jack, I am scared." she whispered innocently, oh god so innocently. Jack smiled truly. He looked at his sister with so much love. "It's okay, it's okay. Don't look down. Just look at me." he said smoothly. Emma looked at him. "Jack, I am scared." she repeated once again."I know... but you're gonna be alright. You are not gonna fall in... We are gonna have a little fun instead!" he grinned lightly. "No we are not!" Emma cried. "Have I ever tricked you?" "Yes! You always play tricks!" Emma responded truthfully. Jack chuckled. "Alright...But not this time." he said softly and got closer to her while he was trying to calm her. "I promise, I promise... You'll gonna be fine. You have to believe in me." he continued. Emma's fear died slowly. Her brown eyes lightly sparkled. "You wanna play a game? We are gonna play hopscotch! Like we play everyday!" Jack said happily. While he was trying to calm Emma down, he and Emma didn't even see the platinum blonde who was closer to them.
Elsa looked at Jack, was fascinated. He was... She really liked this Jack Frost. A good guy like him... he was so good and so full of life. Elsa couldn't even remember the bad past between them. He was an amazing person. The platinum blonde smiled and just adored the sibling's relationship.
"It is easy... One..." Jack mumbled and softly pressed his foot the ice. But something happened: A little, very little crack appeared. "Two..." Jack continued and took another step. And an another crack appeared. "Three..." he said an jumped to his right. No crack. Thanks god. "Alright. Now it is your turn." he whispered. Emma tried to move in her ice skate. But when she did, it made Jack full of fear. A big crack appeared. "Two..." he murmured and tried to not show his fear to Emma. Emma took another step. Bigger crack. "Three!" Jack gasped and pulled Emma immediately and threw her to the other side of lake. Jack smiled towards the Emma, knew that it was late too for him. In a second, the ice was completely broken and he had fallen into the cold lake.
"JACK!" Emma and Elsa cried desperately simultaneously. Elsa immediately started to run from the tree while Emma was shouting frighteningly. He fell to the lake. Just like that. "No! No! No!" the platinum blonde whispered. "No! No! No! Not-Not just like that! He can't just die so easily like that! He cannot die by trying to save a person! He cannot die just like him!" Elsa cried while she was taking off her jacket, still running. "Emma! Call an ambulance!" she demanded, threw her phone to Emma and took off her boots.
She was going to lose Jack Frost like the way she lost him. No! She wasn't going to lose Jack just like the way it happened before! So Elsa ran to the lake without any hesitation and then jumped to the hole, where Jack had fallen. What she had done was stupid. She knew, however, it wasn't time to analyze and think. It was time to move on action and save him. She couldn't lose him. She could deny it as much as she wanted but Elsa Arendelle knew she cared about Jack Frost. She didn't know why. He was a good person. That's all matters. When the platinum blonde's skin met to the cold and dark water, she immediately ignored it and held a deepy breath. She swam and looked for Jack. Finally, she saw a body. Jack. She fastly swam there and grabbed him. She needed oxygen, she tried to ignore it. She pulled Jack with her and tried to swim to the surface. She clenched his arms around her waist and desperately tried to immobilise their body to each other. She then, with her last strong, swam. She swam, tried to ignore the cold but it was impossible. She was shivering and had never felt that much cold in her whole life. It was enough to lose her mind and to faint. However, she couldn't give up now. They were so close to the surface. Elsa swam, her vision started to become dark. Oxygen. She needed oxygen so much. When the platinum blonde finally came to the surface, she immediately pulled her head and met air. She let out her breath then took another one. She was so dizzy and physically weak. She pushed Jack to the surface and tried to lay him on the ice. When her vision completely become dark, she heard the sirens. Elsa's lips were chattering but she still managed to smile weakly. And then, she blacked out.
14 years old Elsa Arendelle stepped to the school... High school. Los Angeles. She finally defeated her cancer, so her parents decided to send her to school. Elsa actually didn't want it. She was okay with home school. But nooo, she had to socialize, she spent her 10 years in their house blah blah blah. She knew her parents were right. She needed to socialize, so she agreed with their decision. The 14 years old girl stepped to the high school. At least, she wasn't the only one who was extremely excited. This was the first day of the school and there were many new freshmen. Anyway, the school was pretty normal. People were great towar her, she didn't get embarrassed or something bad didn't happen. Until the last bell rang.
Elsa Arendelle silently got up and walked towards exist. Then she remembered her chemistry teacher gave her a homework (yes, at the first day of school!) and she forgot to take her book. The platinum blonde sighed and moved to her locker, changed her direction. She hadn't got any friends but she wasn't wishing for it. She was used to being alone. Her thoughts cut off when she saw the scene.
A boy. A boy who had green eyes, was auburn haired, probably a freshman was laying on the floor. Some guys were making fun of him. "Hiccup? What kind of name is that?" a boy laughed, probably a junior. "My lineage is coming from Viking's. My father gave this name to me as a symbol." Hiccup explained. "Pft. Shut up idiot." demanded the bully and started to kick him. Elsa frowned. "Hey!" she shouted and came towards them. The boys looked at her, then the bullies laughed. "What do you want baby?" asked the guy who kicked Hiccup, flirtively. Elsa wrinkled in disgustment. "Leave him alone." she hissed. "You are clearly a freshman. I am Billy. The most dangerous person in this school. Now get out, I am forgiving you just for once." Billy hissed.
Elsa clenched her hands. "I am not going anywhere. Leave him alone." she snapped coldly, her eyes were full determination. "Oh our little freshman is so fucking brave. Isn't she?" Billy said angrily and kicked Hiccup once again, then came near to Elsa. Before the platinum blonde react, he grabbed her left arm hardly. "What a pity! You are indeed beautiful. I could use you. Ehh, there is so many other hot girls." he talked cockily. Elsa took a deep breath angrily. "Don't you ever to bully him or anyone in this school." she hissed dangerously. "Really? I am not afraid from a fucking freak!" he chuckled, then gave a sign. One of his friend kicked Hiccup, who was still laying on the floor. Blood came out from Hiccup's mouth. "Stop doing this!" Elsa shouted angrily. "Oh shut up." Billy said, was bored and tried to punch her from her stomach.
Elsa stopped him. Billy was very big and tall. But she still could take him down by using her mind. Before Billy tried to give another punch, Elsa fastly kicked him from his kneecaps. Billy fell to the floor with a great pain. "You bitch! Get her!" he ordered angrily. His three friends tried to catch Elsa but she was so fast and attacked them from their week areas. However, before Elsa could understand, three more guys came into the scene and hardly grabbed her. The platinum blonde couldn't move. Billy got up from the floor. "You little bitch." he snarled and punched Elsa from her stomach. Then he harshly pulled her hair, slapped and punched her in front of her face. Elsa was shivering because of the pain.
"What's your name?" "Elsa Arendelle." she said strongly. Billy punched her again. "Say that you are sorry and beg." he commanded, was clearly enjoying this. Elsa frowned. "Never." A slap came. "Say it." "Never." A punch came. "Say it." "Never. You can kill me, I don't care. I won't ever beg and want your mercy. I rather to die with my pride." she snapped sternly with a deep frown on her face. Billy harshly punched her even harder. "Say it." Elsa spat out blood from her mouth, right on his face. "YOU BITCH!" Billy roared and was about to slap her- until... Until a hand stopped him.
"Billy. Enough. Get away from her. She is a just fourteen years old girl. Where is your humanity?" someone hissed. Elsa's blue eyes stared at to the guy. He was black haired with black eyes. He had angry expression in his face. "It is none of your business." Billy hissed back. "Oh it is. I am the student council, remember? You will get a big punishment if you don't leave her." the guy threatened him. Billy was about to respond but he stopped. Abruptly, he left there with his stupid friends.
"Are you okay?" he asksd worriedly and offered his hand to get her up. Elsa looked at his hand. She kindly push it. "I can get up by myself." she said sternly and managed to get up. "I was trying to help." "I don't need your help. I could deal with them." she lied stubbornly. The raven haired boy chuckled. "No." "I could if the other three didn't came. They got me." Elsa mumbled. The boy nodded in agreement. "Unfortunately they don't fight fair. You can't fight fair with them. They are all jerks." he warned. Elsa sighed.
"Let's say you won. Tomorrow, they will try to have fight with you again. This pattern will continue until you gave up or they will really hurt you. You can't fight against them all the time, it is impossible." he continued. "I know. But I rather to beaten up by them instead of being in silence. I rather to bully by them instead of shutting my mouth. I will never beg, I will never kneel down and want their mercy. I won't ignore them like other people. I am going to fight." Elsa hissed strongly and with an angry passion. The boy looked amazed for a second and then, smiled.
"We need to took him to the nursery." he said and pointed at Hiccup. "What it is his name? Do you know it?" "As I heard from Billy and his gang: His name is Hiccup. They kicked him for few times." Elsa murmured while they were pulling Hiccup to the surgery. "He is fine. I think he blacked out because of a panic attack or something." the boy explained. Elsa nodded. "Thank you." the platinum blonde finally said. The boy grinned. "Your welcome..?" "Elsa. Elsa Arendelle." Elsa introduced herself and extended her left hand to him. He grinned and kindly grabbed her hand, accepted her handshake.
"Nice to meet you Elsa Arendelle. My name is Tadashi Hamada by the way." Elsa's lips curled up a little bit.
"Nice to meet you too, Tadashi."
There you have it. One of the most important chapter. Sorry for the cliffhanger. Sorry for my grammar mistakes and my bad writing ability. Please review, you don't know how much I need it. Thank you.
