Existence
Chapter Eleven: Better late than never.
By: Alien-Snowflake (Formerly PPLyra)
Elsa woke up late. She knew she was late. Like, super fucking late! She quickly rolled out of her bed, almost falling off, but she managed to get her feet hitting the floor first. With a soft motion, she brushed her hair with her fingertips and put on any clothes that was closest to her and headed out the door. It was almost 3PM when she saw the time. Knowing she was already late, she still went anyway.
Anna waited... it was past 3PM. She wondered why Elsa hasn't arrived yet. She then stood up, walking away from the meet up place.
"Anna!" someone called out in the distance.
Anna gasped and looked up, upon seeing the Ice Queen running towards her. "Wait, what-?!" she breathed out. "Eh-Elsa?! I-I thought you weren't g-gonna come!" She was half shocked, yet was relieved that she saw Elsa there.
"I uhm... sorry about the delay... Like almost two hours delay..." Elsa scratched the back of her head. "I-I'm not really much of a morning person on Saturdays..."
"That's okay. You're here, that's all I want," Anna said, then realizing what she said sounded odd. She stared down, blushing a little.
"You all right there...?"
"Y-Yes... Just thinking..."
"About what...?"
Anna looked up, her face blushing uncontrollably. "N-Nothing you should be concerned about! Let's go..."
"Let's go...? Go where?"
"Uhm, well- I never knew I'd get this far..." Anna looked around. "What about there...?" She pointed at the clothing shop.
"Eh," Elsa said, shrugging. "I'm not a fan of clothing stores, but whatever."
It was a very expensive shop to Elsa, well everything is expensive according to Elsa for that matter. She looked around the place. Just by looking at the items, she didn't want to bother looking at the price tags as they look expensive already. Leather jackets, fluffy cotton shirts and comfy looking leggings.
In the distant, Anna was happily skipping around the place, looking at cute frilly skirts around her. She pulled out price tags with a disappoint look in her face and looks at another item.
Then a minute later, Elsa stopped walking and was in her thoughts. A song started to play in the mall. She never heard it before.
Every time I close my eyes... It's like a dark paradise...
It was like nothing she had ever heard. It wasn't pop or rock genre in what she usually listened to.
I'm scared that you... Won't be waiting on the other side...
And, on the other hand, Anna was saying something to Elsa, then realizing she wasn't listening to her words. "Elsa...? Something the matter...?" she asked her, only seeing Elsa spacing out in her own world. She walked up to the taller girl, "Elsa." Still nothing.
There's no relief... I see you in my sleep.
The music was soothing as it played. Elsa's ears were tingling. She was mesmerized. The singer's voice caught her attention. It was very slowly and deep, unlike other singers who sang very high pitched. Though the song reminded her of something.
I feel you in my dreams... Telling me I'm fine.
Or someone.
"Hoy, Elsa!"
Just when the song ended, Elsa came back to reality, seeing Anna in front of her face, making her take a step back. "Wh-What-?! Anna!" Elsa snapped.
"Were you liking that song that just played or something...?" Anna giggled.
"Y-Yes! Tell me what's the title and the damn singer!" Elsa held Anna's shoulders tightly, almost spitting at her face.
"H-Hey! No need to grasp me to death!" Anna pouted, eventually Elsa let her go. "Uhm... that was Lana Del Rey... her Dark Paradise song, why?"
"Uhm, it was a good song, also the singer... she sounds beautiful."
"I know! She recently got popular around here. Anyway, look what I have!" It was a fluffy long sleeved like a sheep wool, mint-green coloured. "For you!"
"Eh? No no no... I can't afford that!"
"I'm buying it for you, silly!" Anna giggled, handing the shirt.
"You sure...?"
"As long that I see you wear it at school, sure I'm sure."
"Err... gee thanks."
When her shirt was bought, Anna swiftly sent Elsa out of the store for a moment. "Stay here for a tick. I have something to get," she said, running off.
"What?" Elsa asked, realizing Anna didn't here she stood there waiting.
She couldn't get the tune out of her mind. She didn't remember the words, but she ended up humming the tune of the song. She wanted the song to repeat over and over inside her mind or at least the radio plays it on repeat until she understood the meaning of the song and knew every single word.
"Elsa...?"
Anna's voice interrupted Elsa's thoughts. "Yeah, Anna?"
"Look, I know you may think this is weird, but uhh... here." Anna had a small yellow plastic bag in her hand. "I've never met anyone who has the same music taste as me. So this is yours too."
Elsa took the bag and pulled out a square item as what it looked like a black CD that says LANA DEL REY. Born to Die: The Paradise Edition. "Eh?! Isn't this the singer earlier?!"
"No big."
"Whoa, Anna. No I c-can't-"
"Elsa, keep them, before I manage to change my mind."
Elsa gave up and gave the other girl a nod.
"Say, what kind of store do you like to go to? It's your turn now."
"M-Me...?"
"Well, you're the only person I'm talking to here..."
"Uhm..." In her mind was that game store, EB Games, but she remembered how her game was broken. It would be hard on her to see games there and couldn't buy any of them. "No. I don't have one."
"Oh, that's a pity..." Anna looked down. "But hey, let's just enjoy ourselves until it's dark out."
Time flew by too fast and the girls grew more closer.
Soon it was time to go, the girl went separate ways. It was already time for dinner, but both the girls have eaten.
The following Monday, Elsa decided to wear the shirt Anna had given to her. She did get a few laughs and giggles from people making fun of her at school, but she didn't care. It was warm. "Fuzz-ball!" someone called out. Elsa turned around, it was Taffyta. "Heh, nice shirt. Did you steal it off the farm?" Then more people laughed at her.
Anna was there in the distant, behind a few people. I thought this was over! This isn't fair for Elsa to be treated like this! It's like re-reading a chapter that I have read before... She's getting bullied again...
To be continued...
