Hey guys. So I wanted to write this story for multiple reasons. First of all, the most obvious, is because rape is a horrifying crime. I hate it so much and everyone overlooks it. Second of all, to show how much I hate our court system. And lastly, to show how loss affects kids and young adults. Alot of teens and kids grow up loosing someone that is dear to them, and by witnessing the way it effects people around me - loss is the most accurate way of destroying a family. Of destroying a person.
No, I am not done with this story because too many things have been left un answered. I am making a sequal called 'Freckled Face, Scarred Smile.' This story is both elaborating on Elsa and Jack's relationship, creating Anna and Kristoff's relationship, and I'm going to add in some stuff about Miza because I think many of you like her. And because I love her. See I love her but I am so mean to her, and Elsa. See I have to fix it! NOT saying that its going to be all cheesy happy endings but there will be some.
SOI hope everyone will check out 'Freckled Face, Scarred Smile.'
Thank you all for reading this and bearing with me, I know... this topic is gruesome and I hate it! I know the Jelsa hasn't even started yet and I know that there are alot of triggering and angering subjects. Thank you all so much I love you all and I hope you will continue reading my stories!
"So were do you go from here?" Tooth smiled genuinely ans reached across the table to set her hand on Elsa's. Elsa lokode back, catching the girl's teary eyes and looking to her side. An orphaned girl with her brother's huge green eyes stared up from her lap, pressing her head into Elsa's shoulder. A scarred face played with her identifal braids and laugheed with the two tall boys on the couch. A mute and a child-hearted man shared a drink in the kitchen.
"Forward, its the only direction we have." Elsa smiled, her lips pressed against the top of Miza's head. Tooth's tears fell happily on the table.
"And what are you going to do, I mean... now that we can all sleep again?"
Elsa's eyes shined with sun, she stared up and for the first time in months she saw the light beating down on the dinnig room and blanketing her face.
"Live." She refused to close her eyes even when the sun burned her pupils. "I'm going to live."
.:*:.
Steam covered the bathroom walls, Elsa's relfection blurred by the moisture. She dipped the eyeliner back in the bottle again anyways though, savoring the feeling of normality. The long sleeves of a black hoodie dangling from her wrists. The rush of cold air hit her face like a wall once she stepped out of the bathroom and into her own.
"So you ready for this?" Jack's voice rang out above the blowdryer in Anna's room. He sat on the edge of her bed, completely comfortable with his newfound home after moving into there spare room, which is all honesty was barely big enough for a twin sized bed and a dresser.
"Ready for what? Taking Miza to school?" She said very casually, lacing up her converse. "Of course."
"You and I both know its more then that." Jack looked up, his huge sky eyes boring into hers.
"Lighten up, I'm picking her up for lunch." She smiled and Jack rolled his eyes.
"The truth comes out." He chuckled and stood up, walking into the kitchen. Elsa finished the last lace in her ankle highs and gliding into Anna's room were Miza sat propped up on the chair in front of the vanity and Anna stood behind her, running the blowdryer through her hair.
"Well well well, what is this?" Elsa sighed sarcastically and raised an eyebrow at her sister.
"What? Its the first day of school and Miza wanted to blow dry her hair, I figured you wouldn't mind." Anna smiled and continued to brush the girl's hair. Elsa again stepped next to Miza and stared at the huge emerald eyes through the reflection.
"Are you ready yet Miz?"
"Yes!" Miza smield ear to ear, fixing her white button up shirt and black tie, smoothed her murple shirt and adjusted the neon knee high socks.
"Did you eat breakfast?" Elsa smiled at the gir's funny attire, but she was so proud. So proud Miza was still her own person. The girl picked up a plate of half eaten toast and eggs. "Jack make you that?"
"Yes."
"Are you going to say anything besides 'yes' this morning?" Elsa raised an eyebrow at her question and after a moment of thought Miza raised an eyebrow back at Elsa, a trick she had unknowigly taught Miza.
"Yes."
Elsa laughed and kissed Miza's forehead, giving her sister a side hug before walking into the living room/dining room were Jack already had a cup of coffee waiting for her. She smirked, sitting down and sipping at the soothing liquid.
"Did I make it right?"
"We both know you did. How did you ever learn how ilike my coffee, anyways?" She gave him a teasing glance but he shot a meaningful one back.
"Because you like yours just like I like mine."
Elsa smild up at him. "Thank you Jack."
"Of course Elsa, I'll make coffee for you everyday if you asked me to.
"No, I mean- thank you for the coffee but thank you... for everything." She sipped at the warm drink, Jack wandering across the room to pull up a chair next to Elsa with his own cup of coffee.
"No Elsa, thank you."
.:*:.
"Okay, I love you Miza, and you call me if you need anything okay sweetheart?" Elsa hugged the child once more before setting her down, letting her walk on her own two feet.
"Yes Momma, love you." Miza hugged Elsa's knees before trotting off towards hre classroom, her black backpack-Elsa's old one- boucing with her jumps. Elsa watched her go, a small ounce of fear tickling her throat. She is going to be just fine. She watched as a girl with Ambercrombie clothes on snickered and walked away from Miza, a small hole in Elsa's heart begining. She will be okay. Another girl, one with a dress and big glasses walked up to Miza and held out her hand. Elsa could barely hear them.
"Hi! I'm Rayna, I like your socks." Miza took the girls hand and smiled with all her teeth.
"I'm Miza! And thank you my mom bought me them for my birthday!" Miza looked up at Elsa and pointed, both the girls waving at her. She waved back, a smiled playing its way onto her face. She is going to be happy. A boy with braces and hair cut long came up to her.
"Hi."
"Hi I'm Miza!"
"I'm Dane."
Yes. Miza will be very happy.
.:*:.
" I still can't beleive you let her wear those hightops."
"The pink ones? They were vute and plus she liked them."
"Only because you wear the hightop converse." Anna smirked at her.
"Whatever. Did I tel lyou she made some friends, it was great I think she's going to be really happy at school again."
"Speaking of- when are you going back?" Elsa's mind blanked out at Anna's words and he clenched her jaw.
"Uhm, I'm not going back."
"What?"
"I'm not going back, I think I'm just going to get my GED and find something to do with that, and if I can't get that I'll just keep working small jobs here and there."
"Thats not fair."
"What?"
"That you're allowed to be scared." Elsa stared at Anna after the words were spoken.
"Anna I never said you couldn't be afraid its normal to-"
"Well you're not the one who will have to walk through hallways again and trudge up stairwells to find classes and sit against the wall in a cafateria." A long 20 minutes of silence settled int the car, each girl lost in there own world.
"You can finish online, if that's what you want."
"its not what I want. I just dont want to be afraid."
Elsa stopped the car in the middle of the road, she rotated in the seat to look at Anna and waited until the girl met her gaze.
"Anna, I got you now. And I am never letting you go again." She waited for Anna to throw her arms arounf her, and the two embraced despite the car horns and cussing drivers."I love you okay?"
"Okay."
.:*:.
"Let's make a promise." Jack pulled her closer to him, and she malted at his touch.
"Hmm?" Elsa raised a brow and touched his shoulder delicately.
"Lets promise, to never be afraid."
"Never?"
"Never." His nose touched hers and she pulled back to kiss it.
"Fine... pinky promise."She held out a finger and waited for his reply. Without breaking her gaze his finger wrapped hers.
"Pinky promise."
"Never?" She repeated. His lips coming dangerously close to hers. His hand ran throuch her hair while the other held her pinky for dear life.
"Never." His breath brushed against her skin before he closed to gap between them. They kissed painfully slow, agonizingly sweet. When she pulled away for breath- he touched her chin, his thumb holding her head. She looked into his eyes and knew, that she would never, never... be afraid again.
