True Friends
After work Elsa was sitting in her apartment fuming about her day to another woman as she paces the room while the said woman sits at the couch drinking champagne.
"Are you sure it was him?"
"Positive! I could hear him from the kitchen there is only one person who is that big a douche bag. I could also see it in his eyes. That same dark green color." Elsa said bitterly.
Elsa said to her friend Joan, they attend Southwood University together in the same Mythology class. Joan was about as tall as Elsa but with a more athletic build that Elsa could see through her black turtleneck. She has blonde hair tied back in a ponytail that came down her back and Gray eyes. Joan and Elsa liked to hang out when they had free time. No matter how cold the room became.
"I just can't believe I saw him again! I haven't even thought about him in years and just hearing his voice has made all these memories come back!" Elsa continued, pacing the room, her hands to her head.
"Uhhh Elsa?"
"And! Oh and I think I even caught him staring at me!? Like "oh that girls hot" notating. Ten years ago he used to say that I was an ugly girl! That- that my skin was gross and my hair made me look like an old prune. And he has the nerve to..."
"Elsa! I understand that you're upset but the table is frozen and I can see my breath." Joan said pointing at the table that Elsa had her hand on then at her now visible breath.
Elsa's eyes widened. She looked at the table and saw that it was completely iced over. Icicles were hanging from the bottom and ice was continuing to form on the floor from the legs. Now Elsa didn't exactly get goosebumps from the cold but she could tell she has definitely made the room colder.
"Oh sorry Joan." Elsa said before waving her hand making the ice melt into nothing and the room return to its natural temperature.
"It's ok I was hot." Joan said smiling causing Elsa to smile back. Joan was the only person to do that since...dad
"An ways. Elsa I know that this guy has hurt you before in the PAST. But you have both grown up. I mean are YOU the same as you were back then?"
"Well..." Elsa began "Ok yes, I am a more confident and secure person now. But... If you could hear the way he talked to Lewis. He was a total ass!"
"What did he say exactly?" Joan asked curiously.
"Well he called him, a fatty. Was super rude. And..." Elsa stopped.
"And, what?" Joan asked raising a brow.
"He apologized and said that he was in a hurry to get his girlfriend a sandwich." Elisa said flatly.
"Ah so this...Kevin?" Elsa gave her a confirming nod. "Um thanks. Kevin was probably just in a bad mood. He wanted to get his girlfriend some food and he was probably just hungry himself. Maybe you're just letting the bitterness of the past cloud your judgement."
Elsa breathed in deeply and let out a sigh.
"Yeah your probably right." Elsa said rolling her eyes to the floor.
"Look Elsa. the past is the past. Now, I have never met this man and I have never been bullied personally but it isn't healthy for you to continue to hate this guy over something he did when he was a young child. Look just promise me that if you meet this guy again don't turn him into a Popsicle ok? If he's still an asshole just call me and I'll kick his ass for you" Joan said smiling.
"Alright will do." Elsa said giving a chuckle and a weak smile.
An alarm went off and Joan checked her phone. Then she got up and grabbed her purse from the side of the couch. Slumping it over her shoulder.
"I gotta go. This is the third time my boyfriend has texted me."
"You really shouldn't be driving after that glass." Elsa said concerned but Joan had already put her foot outside the door. Joan turned her head over her shoulder to speak to Elsa.
"Have I ever let ONE drink tire me out? See ya Snow Queen!"
"See ya Warrior Princess. Say hi to Kris for me!"
Joan just waved and closed the door.
Elsa was now alone. Her smile fell and Elsa made her way to the cupboard and pulled out a silver key. Then Elsa went over to the counter she just defrosted. She stuck the key into the lock on the second drawer on the left side, turned they key and unlocked it. Inside there were two things, a newspaper and a picture. She quickly pushed the newspaper aside and she pulled out her favorite picture. It was of her and her father when she was little, making snowmen, in their backyard, in July.
Elsa took the photograph and laid on the couch. She held the photo up and looked at it. It felt like an eternity passed before Elsa finally spoke. She said
"What do you think I should do dad? Should I forgive him?"
The picture said nothing. It just looks at her with those light blue eyes of his. She brought the photograph to her chest and hugged it.
"Of course you would tell me to forgive. You were just that good."
Joan walked down the stairs of Elsa's apartment and then out the exit to her car, once inside she drives to the bar a few blocks from here. She parks right in front and gets out of her car, the air reeked of stale beer and spray paint from the graffiti on the side of the building.
Joan loved the place, it was wild and dangerous.
Joan walks inside, to her left were some biker dudes playing pool, to the right were dozens of others at small tables eating burgers and drinking beer. She looked around for her boyfriend and didn't see him anywhere. Shrugging Joan then walked over to the bar, sat on a stool and decided to talk to Jimmy, the bartender. A graying, balding man currently wiping down the table with a dirty rag.
"Hey Joan. The usual?" He asked her.
"Yep. But first have you seen my man?" Joan asked seriously.
"In the bathroom. But there's another guy here looking for you. Says he knows you."
Joan rolled her eyes.
"Uhhh who is it?" Joan asked in an irritated tone.
Jimmy just shrugged
"Didn't give his name. But he said he was from work. He was a big guy, red beard."
That description alone made Joan pale.
"I know him." Joan said flatly with attitude in her voice "Where is he?"
Jimmy pointed to the back row, and there she saw him, with a emotionless look on his face and wearing a black jacket. He was waving his hand for him to come to her. She made her way over, but she was ready to attack if needed.
Once she arrived at the table of the hulking man, he set his pint of whiskey down on the table and then picked up his massive hammer with one of his gloved hands.
"I'm surprised they let that thing in here with you Thunder." Joan quipped.
"Where is she already?" He said sternly, growling.
"Who?" Joan asked playing dumb.
The red bearded man banged his fist on the table, any harder and he would have broke it in half. But Joan didn't flinch a bit.
"You know damn who! The daughter of winter! You've been here for six months you should know where she is right about now!"
"Look I haven't seen her. Maybe she isn't here?" Joan said raising her hands defensively.
"Then why the Hell are you still here?"
"Well I have met someone." Joan said with a smirk. But the man just stood up, his hands still on the table and clenched it with anger.
"Don't lie to me wench! You know my father doesn't take well to traitors. So if we find out your hiding her you will both taste my hammer!" He said jabbing his hammer against her chest, she did flinch a bit at that, but then she straightened herself, put a smug look on her face and calmly pushed the hammer from her body.
"Aww you should at least buy us dinner before asking for a threesome." Joan mocked and the man blushed.
"Wha!? Oh you know that isn't what I meant!"
"Joan!" a masculine voice called out.
Joan turned around to see another large man. Not as big as the one in front of her but still quite large and muscular. He had short blonde hair and a smooth face, albeit with a big nose. He also wore a blue tennis shirt and gray camo pants. He looked around and saw Joan at a table with another man. Then Joan turned back around to face her acquaintance.
"My boyfriends here so unless you wanna blow both our covers I suggest you leave." Said Joan.
The red bearded man complied begrudgingly. He let out a huff and clenched his hammer with his gloved fist before he made his way to the door. On the way out he sent Kristoff a glare that sent shivers down his spine. After he was gone, Kristoff decided to walk over to his girlfriend, who was still at the other table.
"Kristoff, there you are!"
"Joan who was that?"
"Oh just some guy I work with. Total dick, here sit down. Oh and Elsa says hi!"
Thirty minutes ago
Kristoff was waiting for his girlfriend Joan to arrive. She said she would be here half an hour ago. He had already texted her a couple times and was just about to text again his phone rang. By instinct he answered it without even looking at the number.
"Joan where are you?"
"Ummm Kristoff this is your cousin, not your girlfriend."
"Oh. Hi Anna. What did you call for?"
"Kris I Have a personal question to ask you. What is your opinion on Kevin?"
Kristoff eyes lit up, got out of his seat. Then he covered his phone by pressing it against his chest and turned to the bartender.
"When Joan gets here tell her I'm in the bathroom."
Kristoff then sprinted to the men's room, went into a stall and closed the door.
"Sorry about that this conversation deserves privacy. What did he do this time?"
"Well yesterday Kevin said that I looked like a little girl due to the way I dress so today I decided to dress more, mature. Then he called me a whore."
"Bastard!" Kristoff grunted.
"Then we were supposed to go out to sandwiches but then out of the blue he said we had to leave without any explanation. And then when the other Olaf's was full he made us go out to Mexican."
"But you hate Mexican food."
"That's what I told him. But he just said 'deal with it.'"
"Ok he is just-ughhhh! I never liked that guy, I told you that when I first met him please break up with him!"
Anna sighed
"You know it isn't that simple."
"Oh come on Anna. Uncle Fred would understand if you broke up with him because he's an asshole."
"And then he would just pressure me to date ANOTHER guy. I don't wanna date anymore guys! I'm better off dealing with the relationship i'm in than forcing myself to try with someone Elsa." Anna said sadly.
"What did you say?"
"I said i'm better off with the relationship i'm in that forcing myself to find someone else."
"You said 'Elsa'."
"Oh. Yeah I have been thinking about her again lately. I don't know, I saw a seminar in class about how bullying can damage you for life so I tried to find her again."
Anna had told Kristoff about Elsa when they were younger. Kristoff was horrified that his sweet little cousin was capable of bullying someone but, she never really listened to him when he told her what she was doing was wrong. 'It's just one bad thing no biggie' she would say, 'Kevin and Marcy say that it is fine as long as everyone laughs.'
"Any luck?"
"No Facebook, not Twitter, no Instagram, not even a Pinterest account! Ughh!"
"Well maybe you will see her again, someday."
"Ughhh! You know I thought I was free Kristoff. I was obsessing about finding her for years! I finally decide to just move on and I have been for years but now...Ughhhh! I almost wish that she would find me so she can punch me in the face."
"Anna you don't deserve that."
-Why? Everyone used to say that I was a good girl! That I was the sweetest little girl and I was nice to everyone! But was I nice to HER!? NO! Instead I bullied her with Marcy! Stood back and laughed as Kevin beat her up! She would cry, bleed, Kristoff! And I was just so..."
Anna stopped talking, she just couldn't go on anymore. Kristoff heard her breath deeply through the phone and she spoke again.
"Enjoy your date Kristoff."
"Wait Anna!"
She hung up.
"Damn it!"
Now
"Ah how is Elsa. Whose company you seem to prefer so much more than mine."
"I'm sorry she was really upset I had to stay with her."
"Oh well what's wrong with her? Is she ok?" Kristoff asked genuinely concerned.
"She ran into an old bully from grade school. They didn't really talk but seeing him again just caused a huge flood of bad memories. I told her to just get over it since he was just a kid but from what she told me he was a total dick."
"Well he can't be any worse than my cousins boyfriend!"
"Ah yes the awful Kyle Anderson."
"Kevin Hanson." Kristoff corrected
"Whatever. Buy the way when do I get to meet this long-suffering cousin of yours and her terrible boyfriend?"
"Anna, Soon. Kevin, Never. Man I wish she would just leave but her dad wants her to have a boyfriend."
"Then why not just find another?"
"Well...it's complicated."
Anna lays on her back on the queen sized bed in her bedroom. She had just gotten off the phone with Kristoff and it didn't make her feel any less depressed. Around her room were stuffed animals from her childhood she never threw away. The room was painted a light blue shade and she had posters for superheros on her wall. Above her bed was a image of 'Ice Man' from the X-Men. On the wall adjacent was a poster of 'Mr. Freeze' from the batman movie that had him as Arnold Schwarzenegger. Anna didn't know why but she just loved ice-themed characters, hero or villain. Just the ability to shoot ice from your fingertips seemed amazing to her.
Anna looked at the Iceman photo, but she would have preferred to have "Ice" from the female superhero team Fire and Ice. Or even Killer Frost, maybe the Caitlin Snow version since she's the less psychotic Frost to date. But she couldn't hang posters like that up, especially not with her father around. Anna turned and stared her stuffed giraffe.
Anna remembered
It was her sophomore year at John Gordon, Anna was fifteen and she was in the car while her mother drove her up to the Hansen residence. It was Kevin and Marcy's 18th birthday party, but for some reason Anna hadn't received an invitation. Anna's mom stops in front of the Hansons driveway.
"We're here."
"Thanks mom."
"Have fun sweetie." Mrs. Summers said before driving off.
Anna took a deep breath, carrying the two presents in her hands and walked up the stairway to the front door. She places both presents into her left arm and uses her right finger to ring the doorbell. It makes a faint sound, Anna can hear the blasting sound of rock-music behind the doors. Suddenly a very familiar face to Anna opens the door, he was a tall, pot-bellied man with a brown mustache and graying brown hair.
"Oh Anna hello there."
"Hi Mr. Hanson. I'm here for Kevin and Marcy's party."
"Oh I see. MARCY!" Mr. Hanson yelled at the top of his lungs, startling Anna so much she dropped the presents.
"WHAT!?" Marcy yells back
"ANOTHER PERSON IS HERE!"
"I ALREADY HAVE EVERYONE! THEY CHECKED IN!"
"ITS ANNA!"
"ANNA!?"
"She will be down in a second." Mr Hanson told Anna before walking away.
A few minutes later Marcy, dressed in a overly-glamorous black dress came to the door, and gave a scowl at Anna as she stood back up after picking up the presents.
"Anna what are you doing here?" Marcy snapped.
"Oh I brought presents. I guess I didn't get the invitation." Anna said, but her voice showed that she didn't truly believe that.
"I'll take the presents now." Marcy just said extending her arms.
Anna handed Marcy the presents and Marcy promptly took them, glared at them with a huge grin before turning back to Anna with a serious face.
"I didn't forget anything. Good bye."
Marcy tried to close the door but Anna put her foot in the way.
"Marcy please. What did I do wrong? Tell me why you have been avoiding me lately? What did I do to you?"
Marcy sighed. 'Was Anna really that naive?' she thought to herself. She then looked back at Anna, gave her a fake smile and spoke in a mock-sympathetic tone.
"I'm so sorry Anna. I know that we have had our good times in the past. But since your daddy lost to that Pyke lady we just aren't compatible anymore. Good bye." The last part she said in a dead serious tone and squinting eyes. But Anna stuck her foot in the door again.
"Wait-wait. Marcy my dad may not be mayor anymore but he's still a councilman. We still get around like we did before."
" 't. Care. Bye."
This time Marcy slammed the door in Anna's face. Anna slumped and walked around to the back gate. She peeked over, there were so many people from school there, from freshmen to sophomores splashing around in the pool, listening to music and eating hot-dogs and burgers. Anna's face fell and she almost cried, but then she heard a masculine voice call to her.
"You ok Red?"
Anna turned around and saw Kevin standing behind her with swimming shorts and a black tank top on. He smiled at her like a wolf finding a herd of sheep.
"Kevin hi!" Anna squealed. At Least she still had him. Right?
"I'm sorry about Marcy. Come with me."
Anna happily followed Kevin who seems to be leading her to the party. He opened the door and continued to follow Kevin when he told her to come with him to show her something. Anna was actually almost glad that Marcy didn't invite her, this wasn't her kind of party. The air reeked with cigarette smoke, the smell of crack, pot and alcohol. Anna was NOT the kind of person to touch the stuff. Anna continued to follow Kevin until they reached a room at the top of the stairs, Kevin opened the door and when Anna was inside, closed it behind him. Anna looked around, she was confused. This was a bathroom. Sure it was nice with a blue shag carpet and fish painted on the walls, but not what she was expecting.
"Uh Kevin. Why are we heeeerrrrreeee?"
Anna stopped as soon as she saw Kevin, he had his shirt off revealing his bare pecs. He had his fists to her hips, a wolfish grin on his face beaming with pride. Anna stepped back as Kevin stepped forward.
"Uh. Wow. Kevin. A tad inappropriate don't you think?"
"Anna I am so sorry for how Marcy is being mean to you. But don't worry. Ten minutes with me and all your worries will melt away."
"Umm Kevin. I don't know about this." Anna tried to say as she backed against the glass wall of the shower. Kevin had her pinned, his hands on both sides. His eyes still scaling her. "Kevin, you're 18, i'm 15. We could get in trouble." Anna tried to reason but Kevin was deaf.
"Aw come on. Don't tell me you can resist abs like this."
Suddenly, a flip flop hit the back of Kevins head. He turned around, eyes filled with anger. And there was a woman about Anna's age with short platinum blonde hair glaring at him with angry eyes. She wore a black bikini top with a short skirt covering her bottom. Anna couldn't help but stare at her long sexy legs. 'Wait did I just use the word sexy to describe a girl!?' Anna thought to herself.
"The girl said she isn't interested. Back off." The blonde girl said, arms crossed, her cellphone in her hand..
"Hey bitch this is my party!"
"Maybe. But forcing yourself on a girl like that when she said 'no' is rape in any law book. That's why I was recording everything." She said waving her phone in Kevin's scowling face. She pulled it back to her as soon as Kevin tried to grab it. "Even if you get your hands on this phone it's still in the cloud. Now unless you wanna go to jail, leave her alone and keep that dirty thing in your pants. Got it side-burns?" She smirked and said in a mock tone. Kevin glared but said nothing. As he left the room, he turned to Anna before he exited and gave her the 'call-me' hand sign and one more death glare at the blonde before leaving.
Her savior approached her.
"You ok?" She asked the still startled Anna.
"Yeah. Thanks. Who are you you look familiar?" Asked Anna. The girl chuckled.
"Its me Liz."
"Can you be more specific?"
"I sit behind you in Mr. Borks class."
Anna looked startled and ashamed. Her eyes lit up and she blushed.
"Oh! Oh i'm so sorry. I never really pay attention to who sits behind me in class. Which is actually kind of selfish of me. Well i guess I am selfish, although not selfish-selfish I just...Oh I dunno. Am I rambling? I tend to ramble when i'm nervous."
Liz chuckled.
"It's ok. It's ok. Truth be told I don't know anyone else here. Actually the only reason I came was because my parents want me to 'get out' more. Personally I would much rather be at home reading Thor comics."
"Hmmm. Thor. Marvel comics right? Based off the norse guy?" Anna asked unsure.
"That's the one."
"Hmmm. You know I have heard alot about how great comics are but I never really read one. Care to tell me more about it?" Anna asked genuinely interested in this girl.
"Well I am pretty much done with this joint anyways and the only twin that wants you here is the creep that wants to have sex with you. So why don't I take you back to my place. You can read some comics yourself."
"Oh sounds fine! But my mom was supposed to pick me up when I'm done."
"I'm 16. I'll drive you home. Come on!"
That night, Anna and Liz spent the next three hours in Liz's room at 1600 Evergreen Street. Liz's mom was nice, I guess she was just happy to see her daughter interacting with someone for once. Sharing interest.
Anna was absolutely entranced by the stories she red before her. The mighty god of thunder, banished to earth by his father Odin for his arrogance. Saving humanity from his evil adoptive brother Loki the god of mischief. His love for the mortal Jane Foster. The silly costumes were a bit too much for Anna though, she figured that Loki wouldn't be much of a threat if his helmet obeyed the laws of physics, he wouldn't even be able to lift his head off the ground. Liz shared a laugh with Anna about that.
"Wow Liz I had a great time. We should do this again sometime."
"Yes. I think I would like that."
For the next six months Liz and Anna met after school. Going to fast-food restaurants to eat, going to comic book stores to buy the latest issues of Thor. Or sometimes just hanging out in each others rooms. Laughing and having a good time. Anna was starting to feel something, different. This thing inside of her was growing each time she and Liz were together. Soon Anna couldn't stop thinking about Liz. Her smile, her laugh, she thought about how her beautiful blonde hair rolled off her shoulders, how her slim waist made a curve at her hips and her long-sexy legs. Legs that Anna almost wished would wrap around her for the night. Anna tried to deny it, but there was definitely some chemistry between her and this girl. Her father had always taught her that girls should only be with guys and vice versa, but Anna thought 'this feels so right, how can this be wrong?'
Anna was sitting on her bed, her legs folded and Liz was walking over with a bowl of popcorn so they could watch some movies.
"Here you go Anna. All butter no salt just the way you...Woah!"
Liz tripped on a stuffed giraffe Anna had lying around. Anna quickly got up and caught her in her arms. Anna now had her in her grasp. She looked into Liz's eyes and Liz into hers.
"Uhh thanks." Liz said trying to break the awkwardness.
Anna couldn't take it anymore. She pushed their lips together and just held Liz tighter. Anna felt a surge of electricity course through her veins. It was the most wonderful experience in the world. She loosened her grip on Liz and pulled her lips away from her.
Liz stared at Anna with utter shock, and...disgust.
"Let me go!" Liz shouted.
Anna complied. She loosened her grip and Liz pushed her away. She turned away from Anna and started grabbing her shoes and jacket. Anna was confused. Anna was heart-broken.
"Liz? I thought?"
"I'm sorry Anna. I thought we were just hanging out as friends."
"Liz wait!"
"I'm sorry Anna. Your a nice girl but I just prefer dudes ok!? Good-bye."
"Liz!"
Anna tried to run after her, but as soon as she walked out the door, her father grabbed her arm tight. She looked at his red face, as if he was about to explode. His green eyes were squinted and you could see the wrinkles in his skin through the red mustache.
"D-dad?" Anna said quietly.
"Anna we have to talk. NOW!" He said in a commanding voice. Anna sadly slumped and went back into her room. Mr. Summers went in and slammed the door behind him. Outside Anna could hear the sound of Liz's tires screeching on the road. Driving away.
Ten minutes later both Mr and Mrs. Summers were staring at their daughter in disapproval. Anna was slouched on her bed trying not to look at her parents in their eyes. After about 30 minutes of ranting about what Anna did was disgusting, Anna finally relented and promised to find herself a boyfriend. The next day Anna texted Kevin if he wanted to "hang", he agreed. Next thing you know Kevin and Anna were an official couple. Anna was getting smiles from her parents again. But a frown as always on her own. And she never saw Liz again.
Now, Anna's face turns to anger. She gets off her bed and grabs the giraffe before ripping its head off it's long neck. She throws the head one directing and the body in the other in anger. Hitting her window frame in the process. Anna dived back into her bed and went to sleep.
Hi all. Now I know what your thinking. THIS STORY IS SO TRAGIC! And by now some of you may be thinking "Stop torturing Anna". I even got one review telling me how bad this story is because of all the tragedies. But the best love stories start with tragedies. Please stay with the story and I promise things will lighten up for both Anna and Elsa. And don't worry fans, I agree that in other stories where Anna is also a bully her getting forgiveness is WAY to abrupt. So I intend on making sure Elsa has legit reason before forgiving her. And some time before becoming an actual couple.
Yeah. this story is Elsanna. If you don't like it you don't have to read it. Truth be told I wasn't FOR Elsanna at first but after reading a few fics out of curiosity I came to enjoy the emotional turmoil that interesting plots that go along with it. Also a lot of them, like this one, don't have them as sisters. So it's fine.
Please leave reviews. I thrive on reviews.
