38.
He already called her more than ten times already, and she wasn't picking up. Not that it surprised him. He knew from the start she was not going to pick up.
His heart was beating so hard in his ears he was starting to think he might have gone deaf. He couldn't breath properly, he felt like he had rocks inside his lungs. His eyes were stinking so harsh, that even if he had rub them about fifteen times it only seemed to make it worst.
He never felt so bad in his whole life, he never felt this dirty.
Just the thought of the big possibility to lose her forever was driving him mad.
How could this happen to him?
How could he be such an idiot?
One minute he felt he was blessed, and now he felt like he was cursed. One minute he was having the time of his life, now he felt like dying. One minute he was having her in his arms, and now he lost her.
What made him more angry was that she was worried about Vanessa. She told him so just a fucking day ago. She was more than worried, she didn't trust her. She talked to him to let him know how worried she was, to make him keep in mind that maybe Vanessa was going to try something.
And he, being the idiot he always was, shrugged it off.
He couldn't even lie, he really thought that Vanessa was too much of an idiot, she just wouldn't dare to annoy him, or so he thought. Thats why he decided to have 'something' -nothing- with her in the past. He could just sing in his own blood that the girl had no brain in her skull, she always did what they told her. So, he believed she was the safest option. She was okay looking, she was more than willing, she always did what they told her. Thats why when he told her that nothing -absolutely nothing- was going to ever happen between them asides sex she agreed.
She never bothered him outside their encounters (that now made him want to vomit his entire guts out) she didn't even dared to talk him asides from monosyllable and strictly necessary answers.
That was why he just ignored Elsa's concern, he thought that maybe Vanessa was just being the botch she was with everyone else. Sure, it angered him that she -in a way- tried to sabotage their relationship by telling Elsa that if he got bored he was going to look for her, but nothing else.
He didn't even understand what in Earth Vanessa was thinking tonight, or what she wanted.
But one thing was sure in his mind, she was going to pay.
Just as another call failed, Jack screamed at the top of his lungs and smashed forcefully his phone against the ground, making it crash to pieces.
He couldn't just go to her dorm, she wont let him in, that was obvious. If he went just to knock at her door, he'll surely get kicked out of the building by the receptionist considering how late it was.
He screamed in frustration again.
What in hell could he do?
Suddenly, words ringed in his head.
'Let's go look for Anna' He remembered Rapunzel saying.
Anna!
If he could talk to her, maybe she could calm Elsa down a bit. Maybe if he explained to her what actually happened, she could tell Elsa and hopefully make her talk to him.
Its been several minutes since Rapunzel went searching for her, so there was just a insignificant possibility that she was still here. If Rapunzel managed to find her, he was screwed, Anna would obviously rush to her sister.
Praying to the gods for a miniature amount of luck, he rushed to the entrance again.
He searched desperately for the strawberry haired girl, or for Kristoff, but he couldn't find them anywhere. The only ones he found were Hiccup as he was talking with Merida and some other blonde girl that seemed to be dresses as a viking as well. He asked if they saw Anna, but they didn't know. Flynn and Rapunzel were nowhere to be seen either.
After a few minutes of searching, he thought on calling Anna, but once he reached to his back pocked he realized he just killed his phone. What a genius.
He was about to rush to his car and maybe crash himself against something while driving until he almost bumped into someone again.
"Get the hell out of my sight" He instantly growled, just seeing Vanessa's dirty and used self, make him feel sick.
"Looking for your little girlfriend?" Vanessa said, completely ignoring his previous words, as she gazed up to him, arm crossed, squishing her breast. "You should be thanking me, you know? If she didn't stay after that it means that she doesn't trust you. Hence, she doesn't love you either. I did you a favor" Vanessa said shrugging her shoulders.
"A favor?" Jack scoffed, angry. "You're fucking crazy." Jack said gazing at her with disgust. "And you're even more crazy to actually think she was gonna stay after a fucking whore kissed me"
Vanessa just grinned wickedly at him.
He had the intense urge to hit her, but he won't, no matter how much she deserved it. He brushed past her, taking just a few steps, until she spoke again.
"At least you're suffering just as much as him" Vanessa said, making him stop on his tracks.
'Him?'
"You really thought I'll let you two both be here living the time of your lives while Pitch is doing community service?" Vanessa growled. Jack was wide-eyed and looking her in complete disbelief.
"You did this for Pitch?!" He asked expecting her to laugh out loud to then tell him that she was joking.
"You were his friend!" Vanessa squeaked. "You and your stupid girlfriend got him kicked for nothing!"
"For nothing?" Jack asked growling. "Sexual assault is nothing? Blackmailing? Forcing Elsa in his room, locking her in, stabbing her, was nothing?!"
"That's her version of what happened" Vanessa simply said, crossing her arms on her chest.
"I was fucking there!" Jack screamed, as he became aware of a few curious eyes gazing at them.
"And what? You expect me to believe you? You're just like her dog, doing everything to please her. Of course you'll tell me that she's the victim" Vanessa snarled.
"You're freaking insane" Jack said.
"And you're fucking miserable now, aren't you?" Vanessa said. "Well, thats what you get for kicking Pitch out"
"And now I'm gonna make them kick you out, mark my words." Jack said with a dangerous voice, gritting her teeth. Vanessa shivered and for the first time she gazed at him scared.
Jack waisted no more breath on her, and he stormed off.
"Well done, Nessa" Gothel said from behind her, obviously amused by the stupid move her 'friend' just did.
"If I were you I'll start packing now" Hans said snickering, and him and Gothel left Vanessa alone.

She couldn't describe the feeling that filled her whole body and soul when she saw them.
She felt like she was in a nightmare.
It was like the whole world just got black, and a spotlight was on them.
Vanessa giving Jack a full kiss, while she was grabbing him by the… face? Neck? She couldn't even remember well, she wasn't that aware of 'details'. The only image that her brain had practically tattooed on was their lips. Cold, minty -and very well known by her- lips against dark, red, excessively glossy lips.
At that exact moment, she felt her heart breaking into a trillion pieces, she felt as her heart stopped bumping, and in consequence, she was out of air. No matter how much she tried to calm herself at that very instant, the oxygen just couldn't reach her lungs.
Her eyes stung, she almost saw them turn red, and even if they were extremely blurry, she could still see those lips together, perfectly clear.
Once he saw her, it all just got worst.
Like death was about to take her, memories of the night flashed in her mind, the nice time she was having, how they danced, how they kissed, and how she told Rapunzel how happy she was, and how much she loved him.
How could just all disappear in a matter of minutes? How could a perfectly clear night turn into a freaking tornado? Weren't you supposed to have a heads up… a warning? Something?
She just took off. No matter what, people that she didn't know that much never saw her in a bad state, much less crying. It was one of her father's most important rules. You didn't give people the pleasure to see you down. You're always high, you're always fine. Then, when they were no longer around, you went to your family for comfort, and break down if you have to.
At the moment, she thanked god for deciding on bringing her car and not Anna's, she thanked god for deciding on meeting there instead of Jack picking her up. She thanked god for making her park in a near spot.
She run, like she never did.
She unlocked her car, got in, started it and speeded off.
She thanked god for not making course any accidents today, she could have caused lots. She didn't stop, anywhere. She was driving so fast, that few times she was about to crash against trees.
Somehow she got to her dorm safely.
She left the main door unlocked, since Anna didn't have her key. She entered to her room and for the first time in months, she locked it from inside.
She collapsed in her bed, and cried.
She'd never felt like this in her entire life.
She just couldn't believe it.
A part of her knew that maybe -and most likely- Vanessa kissed him, and maybe he didn't want to. But…
But he told her he'll keep her away.
He knew how concerned and worried she was about the situation. Hell! She told him yesterday. She told him yesterday and he said that nothing was ever going to happen, he told her he'll keep her away!
So why was she so close to him?!
She couldn't just got him by surprise! He must have saw her coming. Why did he let her come so close?
She cried harder.
Her phone was ringing no stop. But she couldn't care less, she didn't even check the caller I.D., it could be anyone of their friends, it could be him.
And she didn't want to talk.
She just wanted to crawl under her covers and cry her heart out.
She couldn't even breath properly because of the sobs.
After a few more minutes -or hours, she wasn't really keeping track on time- Anna came. She knocked at her door for a long time, pleading her to let her in. She tried it all. She made her hot chocolate, she offered her stash of candies, she cried, she begged, she tried to force the door but Elsa did not move from her spot.
After realizing her sister needed to be alone, Anna did exactly what Elsa needed to calm herself down a bit. She heard Anna seating by the door, and she started to sing her 'Do You Want to Build a Snowman?' song softly, almost sensing her older sister calming down. Once she finished, she wished her good night, and went to her room.
Elsa felt a lot calmer now, but not better. It was like the post-tornado scene. There was no more desperation, frustration or fear. There was just sorrow, heart break and sadness, just like when you get out of your place of refuge to just observe what the tornado destroyed, observe everything you lost.
After replaying and replaying several scenes about Jack in her mind, happy and sad, she finally drifted to sleep.

Her alarm clock loud beeping almost made her ears explode the next morning. She groaned loudly, and quickly turned her alarm off.
She felt so dirty and sweaty. She was still with the same clothes she wore yesterday, and the smoke of cigarettes was very present on her hair.
But she couldn't care less.
She got up slowly, unlocked the door of her room, went to the bathroom to pee, and crushed in her bed again.
There was no way in hell she was going to classes today.
After apparently a few hours -minutes for her- someone snapped her door open, and walked with strong soundly steps towards her, instantly ripping her duvet from her. She groaned.
"What the-?" She said, but this person -she still couldn't see- ignored her and opener all the curtains, making the intense and almost eye-burning sunlight fill the room. Elsa groaned again and rubbed her burned eyes.
"You need to get up" A male voice said, she was just so sleepy she couldn't even recognize it, but it was familiar.
"I don't want to" Elsa said and hid her head under her pillow.
The person snatched the pillow.
"F-" She couldn't even pronounce the next letter when the person grabbed her arm and pulled her off the bed. "Ugh! Stop it"
"You act like this, Elsa" He said. "This is not like yourself"
"And what's like 'myself'?" Elsa asked, turning to a arm crossed and frowning Flynn.
"You're strong. You don't let people step on you" Flynn said confident.
"They didn't step on me, Flynn. They run me over, with a freaking train" Elsa said and seated on her bed. Flynn sighed.
"Are you really going to be like this over a boy?" Flynn said in disbelief, looking at her like he did not recognize her.
"You just said that because you hate him!" Elsa exploded, screaming at the top of her lungs, as her eyes started to burn once again. "I fucking cared for him you know?! I loved him. Hell! I'm in love with him!" She screamed again, looking at her best friend in anger.
Flynn sighed.
"I know, Elsa" Flynn said calmly. "I know you do, and even if I don't like him very much… I know he does too" Elsa let out a dry laugh.
"Yeah right" She said, looking a way from him, sniffing softly.
"Look, Elsa" Flynn said, but she still didn't look at him. "Boys are idiots, and even I can tell you that" He started, and Elsa slowly gazed at him. "We're dumb, and slow and we can seriously spent days not knowing what we did wrong sometimes" Flynn said. "But when we fall in love, really in love. We never meant to hurt" He said sighing. "You have no idea how many fight I had with Punz when I first started dating her. We fought a lot, and it was mostly stuff I did but didn't realize that she didn't like or were wrong. Hell, we even fought in some New Year's party at Corona for a similar reason… She went with some old friends to the bathroom or god knows where, and in a split second some chick came to me and told me she knew Rapunzel. At first I just started talking with this girl about my girlfriend, and out of nowhere she tried to kiss me. Rapunzel came just on time, tho. She knew what she was trying to do, so she yanked her from her hair and pushed her harshly to the floor." Flynn said laughing at the memory. "At first I thought she was gonna comfort me or something because I was the victim, but instead, she grabbed my by the ear and pulled me -really hard I must add- to some corner. She started screaming like a maniac and thats when I realized that I was talking to her freaking enemy from the past, the one she told me thousand stories about"
Elsa just grinned, picturing the scene. She could totally see Rapunzel doing that. But she then frowned.
"But still you didn't know how she look like, or at least you never saw her in person" Elsa said. "I warned Jack the day before about Vanessa." Elsa added, and Flynn gazed at her confused. "She told me that if Jack got bored with me, he was gonna call her" She said shrugging her shoulders. "I told him how worried I was, not because I didn't trust him, but because I didn't trust her" Elsa said.
"I get it, Elsa. Trust me" Flynn said. "I would never lie to you, you know that, don't you? I'm one of the people that wants nothing but good things for you, you deserve the best, you know that. I'll never say anything just to make you feel better. I'll always tell you the truth" Flynn said, but stayed quiet after.
"What truth do you want to tell me then?" Elsa asked.
"It didn't happen the way you think" Flynn said. "I'll be honest with you, I didn't see how she kissed him, but I perfectly saw how they were arguing before it happened, and I saw how Jack wanted to push her off him before you arrived" Flynn said. "I was just to far away to stop it myself, you arrived there before me"
Elsa stood quiet. She would lie if she tell she was 'surprised' to hear Flynn's version, because she wasn't. She knew Jack, she knew he didn't like Vanessa (not anymore at least). She knew she probably jumped to him.
"He knew he shouldn't let her come near" Elsa said with her voice stuttering. "I told him she was planning something"
"And he was dumb to let her close, but he probably didn't thought she'll dare to do it." Flynn said. "Trust me, I know" Flynn said, trying to reassure her.
"B-But I don't!" Elsa said with a sob. "I don't know, I don't know what to think, Flynn. Seeing that was just so- horrible" Elsa said. "How am I supposed to erase that from my mind?"
"You will, Elsa" Flynn said. "Once you finally accept that it wasn't his fault, you will" Flynn added. "He's suffering as well, you know? He's pretty angry with everything." He said. "And he misses you, that's obvious"
"How do you know?" Elsa said obvious not believing him.
"He got Vanessa kicked out first thing in the morning" He said casually. Elsa's jaw dropped.
"What?!" She squeaked.
"Yeah, it's the gossip of the moment!" Flynn said chuckling. "Apparently, he told the guards where Vanessa's weed -and several other drugs- stash was, and when they went to made a surprise control, they found it all" Flynn told. "Disney was just ballistic. You should have seen him! He was about to literally kick Vanessa out!"
Elsa was astonished.
"You should see his face. He's miserable" Flynn said, referring to Jack again. "You should give him another chance, and this is me asking you to give him one. So it's pretty serious" Flynn said with a half chuckle.
"But- You think I should go talk to him?" Elsa said frowning.
"No, of course not, you stay here as long as you want, go get your hands done and do some girly stuff and wait for that idiot. You did a lot already for his frostbutt, its time for him to wake the hell up and fight for you" Flynn said seriously.
"But what if he doesn't 'wake up'?" Elsa asked in sad tone.
"Oh, he will, trust me. I'll make sure he does" He said with a cold gaze, but not towards her. He got up and marched of the room saying a quick 'See you later'.
"Flynn?" Elsa called, trying to trail behind him. "Where are you going?"
Something inside of her told her it was better not to know.
A.N.: HEY GUYS! GOSH, this chapter was a bit sad, but necessary as always. I just wanted to show the pain and I simply love Flynn/Elsa fantastic brotp.
So…. Where's Flynn going, huh? ;)
AND, VANESSA IS OUT OF THE PICTURE YAY! (I'm as relieved as you).
SO, I promised a small summary of the SEQUEL! And HERE it is!
Summary: Jack and Elsa have just graduated from collage, more in love than ever. Ready to start their lives together, and ready to conquer the world, they think their lives just cant get any better. But is their love strong enough to face the problems ahead of them? After all, real life is different from collage.
I STILL DON'T KNOW IF THATS THE FINAL SUMMARY BUT YEAH YOU HAVE AN IDEA.
So, just so you know… there's still a lot for them to face. Mostly their future jobs. Elsa's going to face the real pressure of being C.E.O. and Jack has to face the forgotten company of his dad and the fact that he has no one asides from Elsa and North. There will be lots of new faces, lots of old ones, lots of jealousy, lots of distrust, fear and the fact that time is not on their side. Do you think they'll be able to face it all? He he… I don't really know…
I have a couple of names for it. Since this story its called FIX YOU, for… reasons that you might already know, I thought that the next one might be called FIX ME because of reasons i'll not tell.. spoilers… BUT I still don't know.
Also, I thought of naming it Cold Water, and even if I don't like Justin Bieber (sorry believers please don't be offended :( I'm most of a 80's girl) I still believe that the lyrics are really sweet. Mostly the part of 'I won't let go' Which I think kinds of relates to the story, because even if they're gonna face lots of problems together, they don't want to let go the other. (but ANYTHING can happen *Evil laugh*)
SO PLEASE! HELP ME WITH TITTLES!
I don't want to make this too long so I'll leave it here hehe..
