She was quiet for a while, "Anna, I'm…leaving."

I literally felt my heart stop and fall in my stomach. I could already feel the tears wanting to escape. I quickly stood up mad, "Why?"

"I need time to think about things," she replied running her hand through her hair.

"What things?! You can't leave," I whispered the last part.

"Look Anna I can't tell you but when and if I return–,"

"If?" I asked numbly.

"I might not come back. But if I do I promise I'll tell you why I left in the first place."

"When?" I asked without even thinking.

"Tonight," she said.

I looked out the window to see it was already dark out, "Okay."

She placed her hands on the sides of my arms, "I'm leaving for a good reason. Trust me," she leaned down and kissed my forehead, "Don't forget me."

I was strangely numb. I had never felt like this before. Even when my parents had died. How could she leave today? Today of all days? She had to leave on my birthday? I was feeling worse by the second. I just stood there and watched her leave the room slowly, looking back before she went out the door.

Somehow I managed to walk into my bathroom and start taking a shower. For all I knew it was scalding hott but I wasn't paying attention to anything. The words repeated and repeated in my head,"Anna I'm leaving. Don't forget me."

The words echoed in my head making me feel number by the millisecond. How could she do this to me? I thought she…what did I think? Did she love me? Like a sister of course she did. I loved her too. But if she had really loved me than she would have at least left on a different day. Right?

I mean, come on, today's my birthday for crying out loud. She has to love me. If she didn't she would have left me there with my dead parents or she would have let the bear eat me. I can't even remember all the other times she had saved my life. I had become such a klutz when I started getting older.

Why is she leaving now? Can't she see that I need her now more than ever? Sometime during my thinking I had gotten out of the shower and changed into pajamas. I sat on the bed in my room and just stared at the wall thoughtfully. I couldn't think of anything else except about the fact that she was leaving me. Tonight none the less. She's probably already left. It's so weird to think of my days without her. I've been with Elsa for seven years. That definitely made us bond.

I stopped the tears from flowing in fear that she was still here. I couldn't let her see me cry again. Doesn't that show a sign of weakness? I didn't want to look weak. I mean my family is super strong. I bet they wouldn't even be affected by Elsa's leaving.

I'd probably be the only one affected by it. I shook my head from all the thoughts that were running in my mind. I had to stay strong. Boldly I walked downstairs and entered the living room. They all looked up at me when I entered.

I could see Elsa in the middle of them. I guess they had all been hugging her. I walked slowly across the room and stopped in front of her. She bent down and hugged me tightly, "I'll miss you the most."

I smiled and hugged her as tightly as I could, "I'll miss you too."

She pulled away and smiled, "Be good." And with that she said good bye to the rest of the family and left. I stayed at the back glass door and watched her disappear. I stayed there looking at the empty backyard that she once had been in.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" I held my scraped knee close to my chest.

"Anna? What happened?" Elsa asked as she bent down in front of me.

A tear trickled down my cheek, "I fell off the swing."

She quickly tore a piece of her shirt and wrapped it around my knee.

"Elsa, it hurts," I cried.

She wrapped her arms around me, "I know Princess. It's okay. I'm here."

"Don't leave me Elsa."

"I'll always be here for you."

"I'll always be here for you."The words echoed in my head.But your not. You broke your promise. You won't be here with me anymore. You lied to me.I thought. I slowly turned away from the door and walked back upstairs. I slid under the covers when I got to my room and curled into a ball.

She lied to me. The fact that she lied to me made a tear escape my eye. I wonder if I'll ever see her again. I cried silently that night. Hoping it was a bad dream and that she'd come into my room any moment and hold me close. But she never did. She was gone. For good this time.

(3 years later)

"Come on Alenna! I want to seethatmovie!" I whined to Alenna in the car. We were headed to the theatres to watch a movie. I wanted to watch 'He's justnotthat into you' but she wanted to watch 'Coraline'. It was me Alenna, Cara and our good friend Tara in Cara's BMW.

"Anna!" she whined.

"Come on! Tomorrows my birthday! We can watch 'Coraline' afterwards I promise."

Alenna was driving. Cara was in the passenger seat and Tara and I were in the back seat. I was leaning on her seat begging in her ear which was why she was whining.

"Ugh! Fine. But only because it's your birthday tomorrow. We're watching 'Coraline' afterwards though. No matter how late." She said as we parked across the street from the small theatre. Forks had finally decided that we had enough people in town to make a theatre. It was built two years ago along with the McDonald's. Although the McDonalds was pretty small but cool to hang out at.

I jumped out of the car in excitement and clapped my hands in the air with Tara. "Yes!" She smiled and laughed. I laughed with her.

"Hurry up before it starts!" I hooked my arm into Tara's and ran to the theater. We paid for our tickets and quickly went into the theater. After that movie finished we watched 'Coraline' and we didn't get home until after midnight.

We dropped Tara off at her house and headed home, "I don't know about you two but I'm extremely sleepy."

They chuckled, "Like we could sleep."

"Exactly my point. If you never sleep don't you ever feel drowsy or tired?"

"It doesn't work that way," Alenna said, "We're never tired and we're never drowsy. But we do envy youbecauseyou can sleep."

"Whoa you guys envyme? That'sdefinitelynew."

Cara chuckled and looked back at me, "Don't you have a shift at the hospital tonight?"

I looked at my watch and sighed, "Yes. In twenty minutes. You think you can take me Alenna?"

Her foot slammed into the gas petal and the car accelerated fast through the streets.
