36.
Elsa didn't know how she managed to get to Judy's.
She didn't even remember getting out of the girls bathroom, or starting moving at all. She felt like a zombie, but somehow it seemed like her brain remembered she had to meet Anna at Judy's, while her heart was trying hard not to get any more shattered than it already was.
She felt like she had rocks on her lungs, she couldn't feel the air getting properly in them, and it made her feel weak and numb, it almost felt like her cardiovascular system was failing, threatening to make her faint at any given second.
Miraculously, she suddenly became aware of her surroundings once her hand touched the door knob of Judy's, and pushed the door open.
Her eyes weakly scanned through the place, orbs stopping when strawberry blonde hair came in sight. She moved slowly towards her sister.
Once Anna saw Elsa seating exaggeratedly quiet on the free chair, she immediately gave her her order and started complaining about her tardiness.
"Jeez, finally! I thought you were about to cancel me. You said a few minutes not-" Anna stopped abruptly once she finally gazed at her sisters face.
Elsa was looking absently at her food, face in complete confusion and even fear. Her lower lip was trembling slightly, and her breathing was so imperceptible Anna thought that maybe she was holding her breath at first.
"What happened?" Anna instantly asked. She just knew something happened to her sister between the time she texted her and now. She appeared to be really happy through her texts, and Elsa was still a open book for her, even trough text messages.
Elsa jumped slightly at her sisters voice, and quickly attempted to look okay.
"Nothing" Elsa said dismissively with a smile, still it didn't reach her eyes.
"Oh- Drop the act right now Elsa" Anna said, rolling her eyes. "We're sisters, remember? We know each other from our whole lives, we know when the other's not okay, so just tell me" Anna said with a concerned face.
Elsa tried to avert her eyes from her sister, but she couldn't. She knew there was no way out, once Anna knew something was wrong she won't drop it. She sighted and for a moment, before starting to talk, she played nervously with her smoothie straw.
"Did Jack do something?" Anna asked once she realized Elsa was struggling to talk. "You appeared to be really happy yesterday and this morning"
"No" Elsa immediately, eyes stuck at the table. "We actually became official yesterday" Elsa said with a faint gasped, covering her mouth with her hands.
"Oh my god, really?!" Anna squealed, getting the attention to every table of the place. She blushed and cleared her throat in embarrassment. "Why didn't you tell me?!" Anna whispered/screamed/scolded.
"I was going to yesterday, but you weren't at the dorm" Elsa reminded. Anna made an 'o' with her mouth.
"Anyway, those are great news-" Anna exclaimed excited at first but stopped abruptly. "Wait" She said stopping on her tracks. "But… if you became official you should be jumping on one feet" Anna said coming to realization. "Why are you like this then?" Anna asked.
Elsa sighed.
"I found Vanessa in the bathroom" Elsa said absently, just replaying the memory on her mind.
"Vanessa like- Pitch's Vanessa?" Anna asked with a confused yet concerned face. "Did she do something to you? Did she hurt you or-"
"No, none of that" Elsa quickly said. "I was actually expecting her to do something like that but instead she asked me about my relationship with Jack, smiling and all" Elsa said, eyes stuck on her smoothie.
"So?" Anna asked tentatively. She still did not have any idea of what was this about.
"So… She started talking about how good was Jack in bed and how he 'blew her brains out' overtime they did it, of course, assuming we already had sex" Elsa said, with a small frown on her face.
Anna blinked a couple of times, staring at her sister in total confusion and even a tinge of concern. She was really taken aback by her words, and not because she felt surprised about what she just told her.
"Elsa you…" Anna trailed off, not exactly sure of how to tell her what she wanted to tell her. "Uh- You know that you cant really blame him about past relationships, right?" Anna asked carefully, like she was talking to a small child. "And he cant either, I mean, you also have past relationships, and he has them as well, but you weren't part of each others lives back in the moment so you can't be upset about it?" She asked, her voice sounding as an indecisive interrogation.
"I know that Anna, that's not the problem" Elsa said sounding almost offended. Anna blinked in confusion again, and furrowed her eyebrows feeling lost.
"Then what is it?" Anna asked.
She immediately caught how Elsa's body slightly shivered, and how her eyes were now concerned, fearful even. Elsa's gaze met the floor, eyebrows frowning as she bit her lip rather harshly.
"It's just-" She tried to say, but the words were caught up in her throat. "It's just…" She said again, this time breathlessly. Her lip was quivering, and Anna was debating between staying in her seat to not overwhelm her, or seating next to her to comfort her. Due to the other costumers on the place, she decided to stay where she was. She knew that if she went to hug her or anything of the sort, it was very likely that her sister would burst in tears, and Elsa definitely hated being the center of attention, and hated people pitying her. "It's just that- I know he wants to do it, and I'm afraid of boring him" She finally finished.
Okay, Anna was even more confused than she was in the beginning. Elsa was having her pieces and pieces of what happened, but clearly not in order. First her and Jack became official, then she came across Vanessa, and know she was afraid to bore him and she didn't even know why. She still couldn't connect the dots.
"What? Bore him?" Anna asked, this time not hiding her obvious confusion. It was written all over her face.
She saw Elsa blushing, and averting her eyes, while bitting her lip even more harshly.
"Jack want to have sex with me" Elsa almost said choking between words.
"Of course he wants" Was Anna's blunt answer. Elsa's head snapped to her, her eyes wide in shock and her cheeks boiling, almost looking terrified. But, knowing her sister so well, she knew exactly what was going through her mind at the moment. "I'm not saying he's some kind of sex freak or something like that!" Anna quickly said, while thanking God that they were relatively far from every costumer. "I'm just saying he's a college boy that has a beautiful girlfriend that almost all the male population- and some females- wants to get laid with, it's not really a surprise that he wants it too" Anna said like it was obvious.
Elsa was mortified.
"I'm gonna pretend that you didn't say that" Elsa said with a grossed out face. Anna merely shrugged.
"Anyway, how did you realized it?" Anna asked, finally continuing to eat her jam sandwich. Elsa blushed crimson again, and quickly sipped large gulps of her smoothie attempting to cool her know heated body.
"We-Err.. We were-" She said stuttering. Anna rolled her eyes at her sister
"Elsa you can tell me, okay? We're sisters" Anna said, and as she guessed it, Elsa visibly loosen up a bit.
"We were… Making out and it- It just got heated" Elsa said, trying to use as less words as she could.
"But you still didn't" Anna sated.
"We didn't" Elsa affirmed.
"And how did you stop him?" Anna asked in curiosity. Elsa pursed her lips.
"I just, pushed him slowly away, and when I was about to say that I wasn't ready my alarm clock went off" Elsa explained.
"Saved by the bell, huh?" Anna said.
"Exactly what I thought" Elsa said.
They stayed quiet for a moment. Anna knew that Elsa was going to continue, so she just ate her sandwich while Elsa was arranging her thoughts on her mind, waiting her to be ready.
"He looked kind of… disappointed" Elsa said with a quiet voice. "I felt really bad about it but- I'm just not ready" Elsa said. "Not yet"
"Thats okay, Elsa. No one's rushing you. Everyone has their time, you don't have to feel bad about it if you're not ready" Anna explained.
"No its not okay, Anna" Elsa said with a rather hash voice, but not exactly towards Anna. "What if he gets bored of me? What if he doesn't want to wait?" Elsa asked with a slight distressed voice.
"Then you turn around and leave him" Anna said without stuttering. "If he cant wait for you, he doesn't deserves you at all" Anna said, with a stern face. But it softened right after. "But… I know that's not the case, Els" Anna said, and Elsa's gaze met hers. "He'll wait for you, no matter how long you take"
"How you can be so sure?" Elsa asked, words almost choking because of the lump formed in her throat.
"Because of the way he looks at you" Anna explained. "Because even if he might have got laid with girls, it's the first time he's into something serious after years" She said. "Because the last time he's been with someone they did him the worst thing someone can do to you, reason why he decided to stay at arm length from everyone, he didn't want anything serious, not even friends. All because of what they done to him" She said. "And yet, he told you he loves you, Elsa. Not like, love. He loves you after everything they did to him. And he dared to be with you in a serious relationship again"
Elsa was out of words, out of thoughts, out of breath. Her brain could hardly process what Anna said. They were such a nice words, she couldn't actually believe them.
"And deep down, I know that you know that too" Anna said again. "You're just freaking out, and thats normal, don't worry." Anna reassured. "But he loves you, Elsa. And I can sing you in blood, anywhere you like, that he's not going anywhere" Anna finished with a smile, causing Elsa to smile too.
"Thank you, Anna" Elsa said win a whisper. Elsa stroke gently Anna's hand in gratefulness, and Anna smiled wider.
"But" Anna said again, causing Elsa to look at her a bit concerned. "Just because I'm curious… What does Vanessa has to do with any of this?"
Of course.
Elsa forgot about that, and she instantly felt herself frowning again, as anger boiled in her veins.
"Because" She started, holding back a growl. "She told me that overtime Jack's 'bored' he calls her to satisfy his needs" Elsa said, and Anna's mouth formed an 'o' in realization.
"So that's why you're so worried about 'boring' him" Anna said, finally understanding the whole story.
"It's not that-" Elsa said, but had the urge to stop for a second because of how angry she felt at the moment. She sighed. "It's not that I don't trust in Jack" She said, truthfully.
"But you don't trust her" Anna said, almost reading her sister's mind.
"Who would?!" Elsa said exasperatedly, not towards her sister.
"Wow, never saw you that jealous." Anna said, observing the strange specimen before her eyes.
"I just don't want her near" Elsa said, not even denying the fact that she was indeed, jealous.
"You think she's up to something?" Anna asked frowning.
"I don't know. I don't think she's up to some mastermind plan but I just know she's after Jack" Elsa said pouting. Anna really wanted to chuckle at her sisters territorial state, but if she did Elsa would hit her.
"You don't need to worry Elsa. Jack hates her, remember? He put guards after her, hoping that they'll catch her doing something evil to kick her out as well" Anna pointed out.
"I know" Elsa said sighing. "But I just… I just want to tell him anyway" Elsa said averting her eyes.
"About Vanessa?" Anna asked.
"About everything" Elsa quickly corrected. "About her, and what she told me. About me not being ready yet" Anna gazed at her sister understandingly.
"The talk to him" Anna encouraged. "Tell him everything, he's your boyfriend"
"You think? Wouldn't I look obsessed of crazy girlfriend-like?" Elsa asked bitting her lip.
"Not at all. Personally, I think he needs to know" Anna said.
Before Elsa could respond, her phone beeped.
Princess? Are u coming? -Jack.
Elsa smiled helplessly.
"The devil himself?" Anna asked with a funny smile. Elsa nodded. "Then go, and tell him everything you need to" Anna said.
Elsa got up, and hugged her sister tightly.
"Thank you, Anna" She said, to then break the hug and practically jog towards the mini- bus station.

" I was wondering if you forgot about me" Jack said when he opened the door, quickly pulling her close to him to kiss her softly on the lips.
"You're so dramatic" Elsa said, smiling. "I just grabbed lunch with Anna, and lost track of time" Elsa said, leaving her stuff on the coffee table.
"How was your class?" Jack asked, trailing behind her every move.
"Horrible" Elsa said. "Guess you'll have me as a classmate in one more class" Elsa said grinning, and Jack smiled excitedly.
"You signed the paper?"
"I was the first one to" Elsa said. "I just couldn't hear any more clocks comparisons. It was making me go insane"
"What about your other noon class?" Jack asked hopefully.
"Nu-uh, I'm sorry, but there's no way I'll change Mr. La Bouff" Elsa quickly said, earning a puppy dog 'Why not?' look from Jack. "Mr. La Bouff's a good friend from my dad, and he reached him a lot as well. He's really good at his subject, and he has a lot of success" Elsa explained. Jack sighed defeated.
"Fine" Jack said, and walked towards his room, gesturing Elsa to follow him.
Elsa gulped.
"What did you have for lunch?" Jack asked, and laid in his bed.
"Went to Judy's" Elsa answered robotically.
"Its been a while since I been there, we should go next week" Jack said, looking to the ceiling. "Have you ever tried their carrot smoothie? I know it sounds gross but I'm pretty sure they put drugs on it because it's addicting"
Elsa said nothing. She just stood there, looking between Jack and the bed nervously.
Jack frowned at her lack of answer, and looked at her. She looked kind of fearful, but before he could ask anything, she talked.
"Can we talk?" Elsa asked a bit colder and worrier than she intended. Jack's whole body stiffened, and in a split second he sat down on the bed, looking at her tensed and even terrified.
"That's never good, right?" Jack asked, almost feeling his tongue tying in nervousness.
"No- I mean, it's not bad" Elsa quickly said, and cautiously moved to seat on the other edge of the bed. "At least I hope it wont be" She asked more quietly and worried this time.
"Did something happened?" Jack asked, moving a bit towards her, sensing her inside struggle.
"Kind of" Elsa said. "I-uh… came across Vanessa in the bathroom after my class" Elsa said, and she instantly felt the anger radiate from Jack's body.
"Vanessa? Did she do something to you? Was the guard waiting outside of the door? If she hurried you, I'll fucking kill her" Jack said growling, and even if he was looking terrifying at the moment, Elsa felt a wave of relieve washing her because of his words.
"No she didn't" Elsa said quickly, trying to calm him. Jack quiet down, but the strong frown was still present on his face.
"Then what did she do?" Jack asked.
"She asked me about us" Elsa said simply. "She asked me about us and then she started talking about your nights with her" Elsa said, not even stuttering, just calm.
Jack nearly choked, and he was even more pale than he usually was. Embarrassment was written all over his face.
"Elsa, I-"
"You don't have to say anything, Jack. That's your past, I was not part of it so I cant complain about anything. I have my past too, and just like me you cant do anything about it either" Elsa said, calm still on her voice. "I just wanted to know if she was lying or not"
Jack took a while trying to formulate words.
"You were worried about that? I mean- It was never anything serious, like ever. She knew that" Jack said, feeling sick by just remembering it.
"No, it's not about that" Elsa said shaking slightly her head. Jack grew even more worried. "After she babbled about it, she asked me how was my experience with…" She didn't have to finish the sentence, by the immense blush covering Jack's whole face (competing with hers) She knew that he was aware of what was she talking about. "She didn't really need an answer, since it was practically written all over mi face" Elsa continued with a slight embarrassment on her voice. "Then she… She said it was awful that we didn't yet- And she said that it meant that you'll look for her soon. Since I wasn't satisfying your needs"
Little to said, Elsa was mortified.
But the relieve that was slowly growing on her chest, told her that she was doing the right thing.
"Elsa, I would never cheat on you, never." Jack instantly said almost offended at her 'doubt'.
"I know that Jack, I trust you" Elsa said looking straight to him. "I trust you with all my heart, I just don't trust her" Elsa explained. "I know she's up to something, I know she's gonna look for you" Elsa said, concern evident in her voice.
"I wont let her near" Jack reassured. "And if she still tries to, I'll make sure she'll know to stay away for good" Jack said. "I promise, Elsa. There's nothing to worry about okay?"
"I know… I know- It's just-" Elsa said, but was cut off by a quick kiss on the lips.
"Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror? No man in his right mind would ever cheat on you. You're gorgeous" Jack said, and Elsa felt like melting. "But not just on the outside, princess. You're the most amazing girl I've ever have the pleasure to meet. I would never be able to cheat on you."
Elsa smiled at him.
"Is that all that was worrying you?" Jack asked, deep down knowing that that was not all.
"There's another thing" Elsa said sighing, and Jack pursed his lips. Elsa was clearly debating in telling him or not.
"You can tell me anything, Elsa. Anything that bothers you." Jack said. "I'll fix it, I promise. Just tell me and I'll fix it" Elsa looked at him a bit nervous, but sighed again, and averted her eyes from him.
"Would you ever get bored?" Elsa asked. Jack was confused. "Bored of waiting… for me" And he instantly understood what she was talking about. He looked at her with wide eyes, and just stared. "I'm just… not ready, not yet. I never…" She said trailing off, looking everywhere but him, trying to hide the embarrassment of her face. Jack understood everything instantly.
"A lifetime" He said quietly, and Elsa's breath hitched.
"B-But… What if you have needs like she said- What if-"
"Elsa I don't." He said a bit uncomfortable. "I love you, Elsa. It's just not the same when you're single." He added. "There are no 'needs' when all I want is you- And I'm not referring to that- I mean all of you, being with you, talking with you, laughing with you, kissing you" He explained. "I'll wait for you, whenever you're ready. I would never push you or force you to do something you don't want to. I'll wait till you're ready, whenever that is" Jack said with sincere eyes. Elsa felt her heart skip a beat, and she instantly hugged him tightly.
"I love you" Elsa whispered. Jack chuckled and tumbled both on the bed.
"I love you too, princess. There was really no reason to be jealous you know-OUCH" Elsa instantly smacked him.
She was happy, she was content. But still, she just couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen. Something still felt wrong.
"So, know that you told me that you have a past" Jack said after a few moments. "I'll like to hear about your obviously losers ex-boyfriends"
She smacked him again.
"Shut up you idiot" She said, and both started chuckling.

"I finally found you, when the heck did you change the meeting spot?!" He said pouting.
"Stop whining already old lady" Merida instantly said. Flynn huffed.
"Anyway, hello everyone. Jack" Flynn said, and Jack and Hiccup tried hard not to burst into laughter. Flynn was a total drama queen.
"Eugene, be nice" Rapunzel scolded. Flynn pouted again. Jack couldn't hold back this time, and that earned him an elbow on her ribs form her lovely girlfriend and a growl from Flynn.
"What was it that you wanted to say?" Hiccup asked. Flynn has called them non stop about an hour ago, asking them to meet in some place because he had news. Obviously, Merida's revenge was to go to Judy's instead of the Golden Bean. Excusing that he was annoying.
Flynn instantly catlike grinned, and hold out a poster.
SEMESTER'S LEGENDARY FIRST PARTY.
ARE YOU REALLY GONNA MISS IT?!
The biggest party of the year.
Royal Frat.
Open doors: 9 p.m.
"I thought ye said it was 'important'" Merida said with a frown.
"It is! We always go to the semester's first party, we cant not go! It's tradition!" Flynn whined.
"Tradition ye invented maybe."
"I actually want to party this time" Anna said, while she and Kristoff observed the poster.
"HA! Two are already in" Flynn said with a victorious smile to Merida.
"I'm in too, it's been a while since we partied" Punzie said, and Flynn instantly kissed her.
"Four in, four to go" Flynn said and gazed towards Elsa pleadingly.
Elsa gazed at Jack, obviously asking him if he wanted to go, ad Jack shrugged and smiled.
"Okay, we're in too"
"Elsa no! Yer supposed to be in my side!" Merida whined.
Flynn gazed at Merida viciously, and the turned his gaze towards Hiccup.
"You can't let me down now, Hicc. You know you wanna" Flynn said wiggling his eyebrows. Hiccup rolled his eyes.
"It's not like a have a choice, you know" Hiccup said.
"HA! Is only you know, red" Flynn said. Merida glared at him.
"If you start bothering me while drunk again, I promise ye wont have children" Merida said.
"I win" Flynn said, posing. "And you know whats even more fun?"
"What?" Anna asked.
"Its a costume theme party!" Flynn said excitedly.
"I thought ye said the 'best' part" Merida said.
"Why costumes?" Punzie asked.
"Phillip wasn't able to throw a party last semester for Halloween because he had this exam" Flynn explained.
"So we have ONE FUCKING DAY to shop for costumes?!" Anna squeaked. "Everybody get up! We're going shopping NOW"

She held the poster between her slender, fake black nailed fingers, and grinned.
This was perfect.
Time to make those two pay.
