Author's Note - I originally wanted this chapter and the next to be clumped into one. Mainly because the scenes were fairly short and despite the countless times I've spent trying to revise it, it also felt choppy and lacked closings I felt satisfied with. But a lot happens within the next two chapters, hence, it being entitled "Weeks." All which I think deserve a chapter to be focused on. So bare with me with the next two postings, I am not satisfied and will hopefully return to edit and revise.

Rain Fall

Chapter 14 - Weeks (I)

Elsa walked down the aisle, looking through the freezer doors at the various ice cream flavors. Anna insisted on a movie marathon and idea of binge watching and junk food was widely appealing.

"How about drumsticks?" Anna called several feet behind her. The strawberry-blonde had stuck her head into the freezer observing the various drumsticks, shivering at the cold.

Elsa scrunched up her nose. "Those barely last through one movie."

She continued down the aisle and caught a glimpse of a pair of familiar highlights.

"Thiana, Vanessa," Elsa greeted with a smile. "Hi."

"Hi Elsa," Thiana smiled, the two seniors shared AP Calculus this semester.

Vanessa who had just pulled out a pint of rainbow sherbet, gave her a small smile. Elsa was quick to notice her slightly red eyes. "Hi Elsa."

"Oh hi!" Anna jumped in with a wide smile. "I see we weren't the only ones craving ice cream tonight. Whoa." A few pints of ice cream tumbled to the ground.

"Careful," Elsa reminded as Anna and Thiana moved to pick up the fallen cartons.

The two cousins smiled, one a little smaller than the other. Elsa knew she had no place to ask but she could not help but be concerned. "Hey Vanessa. You OK?" Her voice quiet and compassionate.

"Yeah, well . . " her voiced trailed before she gave the sisters a weak smile. "Jack and I broke up."

"Whoa, what. Oh, we're so sorry," Anna immediately consoled.

Vanessa waved her hand, her eyes slightly glossy, as she smiled. "No need for apologies. It was mutual."

"We're still sorry," Elsa replied sincerely while a part of her mind wandered back to the day at the park. He finally worked up enough courage.

"Thanks," Vanessa said.

"Oh I know. You two should join us! We're planning to watch a bunch of movies and binge on some junk food," Anna offered, as the two cousins looked at one another. Elsa couldn't help but smile. Her sister was always so generous.

Thiana gave her younger cousin a encouraging smile. "Up to you, Nessa."

Vanessa smiled. This time the usual twinkle apparent in her eyes. "Sure. A girls night sounds great."

Aster shot a glance at Jack, as the two sat on the couch playing video games. It was not the first one that evening.

"Mate," Aster finally pestered with a slight growl.

Jack rolled his eyes. "I know Thiana already told you." He could feel his best friend stare at him.

"I'm still waiting for you to talk about it," Aster commented as he returned his attention back to the television.

"Vanessa and I broke up," Jack confessed, not sparing his best friend one look. "It hurts but at the same time I feel relieved." There was a pause before he quietly asked, "Does that sound horrible of me?"

"No. It sounds honest," the Australian responded. "I really do care about her."

"I know mate."

Their conversation fell silent for about a minute. The only noise that filled the room was the sound of the buttons on the controllers being pushed and the music and sound effects from the video game emitting from the sound bar.

"Thiana told me it was mutual," Aster mentioned, as if trying to make Jack feel better about the entire situation.

Jack sighed. "It was. We both agreed. Things between us are not the same, we've changed." Jack could see Aster nod his head from the corner of his eye. "Did Thiana mention how Vanessa is doing?"

"By the sound of things, you two are fairing about the same," Aster disclosed before pausing for a second. "Vanessa and her are at the Winters'."

This earned Jack's attention as he looked at Aster. "Winters? As in Elsa and Anna Winters?"

Aster let a smirk slip his lips. "They apparently ran into Thiana and Vanessa, and invited them over for a girls' night." Jack felt himself smile and let out a short appreciative laugh.

Elsa stood in the empty hallway, returning unneeded books and retrieving a scarf.

"I thought I might catch you," Jack said just as he was within range.

Elsa turned to see Jack, with his backpack and duffle bag. "Hockey practice?"

"Try outs," Jack explained, as Elsa smiled.

"I heard about you and Vanessa," Elsa shared as she closed her locker. She waited till she turned back around to continue. "I'm sorry." It had been over week since she learned of their break up and while she saw Jack around Arendelle High, the two happened to not cross paths till now.

"Thanks, but I like to think things between us have been a lot better since then," Jack shared with a smile as he adjusted the straps of his bags.

"See where courage and honesty can take you?" smiled Elsa as she turned, an indication that she was heading out. Jack immediately kept in step with her.

"Does that mean you told your parents about being an architect?" Jack questioned with an encouraging smile.

Elsa pouted for a second. "Not quite. I told Anna though. She was of course extremely supportive." And no where near disappointed as Elsa had originally worried about.

Jack remained quiet. He had a feeling she was not one who went against the expectations of her parents, so doing so must be very difficult for her.

"So think you'll make the team?" Elsa asked, changing the subject, her eyes twinkled teasingly.

Jack smiled widely, "Are you seriously asking me?"

"Huh, you must be the cocky hot shot I heard about," Elsa teased with a sly smile.

"Funny," Jack said with a smirk as Elsa laughed. Her laughter filling the empty halls. "I'll walk with you."

"And chivalry takes over," Elsa smiled sweetly, as Jack moved to push open the doors of the school.

Elsa noticed that the trees were growing bare and the grounds now covered with shades of red, orange, and brown. Autumn was half way over.

Elsa laid on her stomach, drawing on a sketchbook Anna had gave her. While her sister sat at her desk, studying for an upcoming midterm. It took her a few minutes to realize that Anna was sneaking glances at her.

"You can ask me," Elsa finally voiced as she peeked up from her sketch.

"What makes you think I have a question? What if I have something to share?" Anna said, as she looked at her older sister.

Elsa raised an eyebrow, as she lowered her pencil. "Ok. What is it that you have to share?" Elsa asked as she pushed herself up into a sitting position.

"Ok. You were right. It was a question," Anna sighed in defeat as her sister smiled triumphantly. "Do you like Jack?"

"What?" Elsa responded, her eyes widen at a question she did not expect.

"I mean. It's been several weeks since Vanessa and him broke up, and I know you two walk home with one another every now and then. I just thought, maybe . ." Anna shrugged, as she rambled.

"I . ." Elsa started as she pulled her gaze away from her sister. She picked up the stuff snowman, she had given her sister a few years back. It would be a lie if she hadn't thought about it. "I don't know."

"You don't know?" asked Anna, her eyes narrowed in confusion.

"Jack is a good friend. It's been nice getting to know him and I've gotten use to seeing him as that, a friend," Elsa answered honestly. "Besides, even if I did. Now isn't the time to reconvene liking him. He just got out of a relationship and I respect Vanessa too much to do that to her."

"I know," Anna said as if she was getting scolded. "I just thought I'd ask. Whether you admit it or not, I know it helps you to talk about your feelings."

Elsa smiled in appreciation. "Thanks."

"Can I see?" Anna asked switching the subject, as she pointed at the sketchbook.

"Sure," Elsa said, as Anna squealed in excitement. The strawberry blonde jumped up from her chair and jumped onto her bed. "But after this, back to studying." Elsa offered an encouraging smile as Anna groaned in defeat. A giggle eventual escaped the older sister.

AN: I spent this week reading and rereading all the scenes I've written for this story (posted and unposted). As I map in my mind the timeline of this story, I was hit with a sense of sadness about this story coming to in end. It made the muse of writing slow down. I have enjoyed writing this story more than I had originally anticipated and expected since posting the first chapter (which was originally a one-shot). Nonetheless, I will continue to love writing this story until the time is right for it it properly end. I hope by then I will be hit with another muse, another storyline, and the passion to continue to writing stories about Jack & Elsa.

But enough about that. I hope this chapter was bearable. Like I had posted in the first AN, I am not entirely satisfied but will accept where Chapter 14 and 15 are for the time being. Which reminds me since I've contemplated on posting 14 and 15 together, Chapter 15 will be up in the very near future. Like possibly in less than 24 hours if not 48 hours. I feel it is only right they are shared closely together.

As always, thank you for reading. For those of you who are going to leave a review (no flames) Thank You. It always encourages the muse in me to write.
