Hello there guys! Next chapter is here and god this one is a killer.
Also just a note that I forgot to say earlier, I am doing the school year like it is in Australia. So it starts at the end of January and ends in early December (There are four terms with holidays in between each, two semesters)
But anyways I hope you enjoy it!
Rapunzel silently gasped and quickly covered her mouth. She knew her mom didn't tell her much about her past but after hearing those words, she really wanted to know what happened to her. Vanellope and Jack looked as confused as each other. Ana wiped her eyes angrily and clenched her fists. Then Ana suddenly sprinted right at Easter. She jumped and pulled him down into a table. She pinned him against the now crashed table and started punching him in the face. "Mom!" Rapunzel yelled at Ana but it was like she couldn't hear her. Rapunzel stood there helplessly not knowing what to do. Should I grab her and help Bunnymund or just stand here like an idiot? She thought back in forth not knowing what to do. Then she felt a hand grab her and pull her to the side of the classroom. It was Jack and he was holding Vanellope. Vanellope was twisting around trying to get out of his arms. "Let me go! Let me go! My dad needs my help! That crazy lady's hurting him!" She wouldn't stay still. "I can't let you go or you'll get hurt! Rapunzel what is going on?" Rapunzel just looked at him and he knew that she didn't have a clue. Her eyes were wide and she looked so scared. Easter was blocking almost all her blows but he still had a bloody nose. "You left me with those bastards! You didn't even help me! Or do anything! And you know what really hurts?!" She started punching even harder and faster, making it harder for Easter to block. "I really loved you!" Rapunzel was so confused and worried that she fell to the floor. She was realising that she really didn't know anything about Ana. Now she really wanted to know and help her and just talk to her right now. But she was also scared, scarred of her getting as angry as this. What could I do if she was this angry at me? She thought as she felt Jack kneeling down beside her. He was holding Vanellope as strongly as he could. "It'll be alright Rapunzel I..." He stopped as he turned towards Ana and Easter. Ana went for another punch when at that moment Easter grabbed her hands and pushed her off. He pinned her down and held her down tightly. Ana struggled and thrashed trying to get up. She had forgotten all about Rapunzel and the others being in the room. Easter looked just as angry as her. The blood from his nose was now dripping down his lip. "Get the fuck off me!" Ana yelled as she tried to kick and punch him. "SHUT UP! You have no clue do you?" Vanellope had calmed down now and was squeezing Jack's hand tightly. Ana was still angrily struggling but was now crying again. "Who do you think got North? Who do you think called that fucking ambulance? Huh! You stupid girl! And you want to know what else?!" Ana was laying there crying, feeling so stupid and scared. Then Easter just lent down and kissed her. Ana's eyes were wider than Rapunzel, Vanellope and Jacks combined. But soon she closed her eyes and kissed back. Ana felt all the years of regret and sadness wash away as she realised how much she needed Easter. Rapunzel didn't know why but she started smiling at them both. So was Vanellope. Jack just sat there confused as all heck. "Girls" He said quietly under his breath as he rolled his eyes. They both stopped kissing and stared at each other. Easter wiped the tears off Ana's face and the blood on her lips. They both stood up and put the table back the right way. Ana stared at him for a few seconds but then slightly jogged up to him and hugged him tight. "I'm sorry", she said quietly. "I'm just messed up in the head I guess. My memories aren't that great you know" Easter just smiled. "I love you too much to not say I forgive you" He kissed her on forehead and let go of her. Jack let go of Vanellope as she sprinted over to East and hugged him tightly. Rapunzel did the same with Ana, leaving Jack looking confused but smiling otherwise. Maybe love is possible, even if your memories are a bit messed up, thought Jack as he stared at Rapunzel.

The light blue bug sped down the highway towards the city. Ana had a smile on her face that she just couldn't remove. She looked down at the lonely ring on her finger and didn't feel any anger or regret while looking at it. Rapunzel sat in the front seat watching all the flashing cars and lights go past. Jack sat in the back seat hoping that Pitch wouldn't be home. He was also worried about what Rapunzel and Ana would think about his apartment. It wasn't the best, in fact it was probably one of the worst in the city. Suddenly Rapunzel spoke up. "Mom, what do you do when your friend is struggling with anorexia? I mean it's a weird question but.." Jack cut her off. "Is it Ariel?" Rapunzel nodded. "I thought so, she is really skinny and she wouldn't eat anything during break" Rapunzel was about to say you do the same but she kept it to herself. Ana sat in thought for a few seconds. She smiled at both of them. "I love how caring you both are. Well all you can do is be careful with her and gentle. First you'll need to talk to her, does she seem willing to be healthier? Like does she want to change?" Rapunzel nodded quickly. "Yes she does. She gets bullied because of it and also she does dance and swimming so she needs the strength." Rapunzel imagined Ariel dancing. Her movements graceful but strong. "Okay that's great, so she has some good reasons to fix her health. Has she told anyone besides you? Her parents or a family member?" Rapunzel didn't know, she never asked. She just shrugged. "Tell her she needs to tell someone. If her parents want to get her help they'll take her to a doctor, she'll need blood work done, an EKG, among a complete physical. She may need to be put in the hospital for medical and mental stabilisation. She'll be seen by people who will really help her like eating disorder specialists, therapists, psychiatrists, and dietitians. But don't worry about that, she'll be in good hands. Just be there for her okay. Take her out to places, invite her over and go have a treat sometimes" Rapunzel and Jack nodded at each tip, already thinking of things they could do for Ariel. "Thanks mom, that helps me heaps. I really hope she'll be alright" Ana grabbed Rapunzel's hand and squeezed it. "She'll be okay in your care, actually even better. Your one of the most caring people I know" Rapunzel shrugged and decided to change the subject. "So Jack, what's the city like?" Jack laughed a small laugh. "You're in it" Rapunzel turned to the window and stared out in awe. There were tall buildings, bright lights, loud sounds and thousands of other cars. She had never seen the city and was amazed by its busy beauty. "Wow it's beautiful, I've never seen it before" Her smile grew as Ana put the windows down. Rapunzel stuck her head out the window and stared up at the buildings rushing past. "It's as if the city's alive! I'm going to have to paint this someday, it's to pretty not to paint or draw" She sat back down in her seat and Jack laughed in the back seat. "I'll have to take you here one day, just the two of us. There's way more to see then cars and roads" Rapunzel blushed at the thought of them going to the city together, maybe even traveling together. "I would like that a lot" Ana put the windows back up and smiled at them both. "Jack, who did you say you lived with?" Rapunzel asked, feeling like an idiot for not remembering. Jack's smile fell and he his hair. "Umm my uncle, Pitch. I've lived with him since I was eight" Ana noticed how much his voice had dropped when he mentioned Pitch. "So what your uncle like? What's his job" Crap what do I say, what's one thing good about Pitch? Shit shit shit shit, Jack thought. "Ahh well.. he's pretty nice and he's funny. He doesn't have a job" Ana raised an eyebrow and Rapunzel looked confused. "I mean he bets and stuff. I don't really know" Rapunzel was worried. Jack didn't seem really sure of what Pitch was like and he doesn't work? Rapunzel wanted to ask but thought it would be best if she didn't. Jack was begging for someone to change the subject. There was silence in the car until Ana spoke up. "Ahh Jack, can you direct me to your place please?" Jack smirked to himself. "Sorry okay so you go down this road….

"And here it is on the left", Jack said cringing at the building. Ana and Rapunzel stared up at the apartment complex. The sign used to say 'Oliver's estate' but now it says ' liver's ate'. The building was a muddy brown colour that had bricks fallen out and paint peeling. Rapunzel thought the building looked down right creepy. She didn't want Jack to get out of the car, let alone go into the apartment. Ana noted at how unsafe the building looked and how Jack or anybody shouldn't live in there. "I know it looks bad but it's really nice on the inside" Ana turned off the car and side smiled. 'We'll walk you in and make sure you're alright.." "No!" Jack yelled as Ana and Rapunzel took off their seat belts. Rapunzel stared at Jacks frightened eyes and knew something wasn't right. "I mean it's really late and you've already taken up enough of your time to drop me off" Ana put her hand on Jack's shoulder. She felt every bone and noted that down too. "It's okay Jack, I'll see you in art tomorrow. Keep safe alright?" Jack nodded and looked at Rapunzel. "I'll see you at school, we've got calculus together" Rapunzel smiled warmly at him. "Yeah we do. See you then" She leant over the seat and hugged him. Jack hugged her back and never wanted her to let go. She did though. Both of them waved at him as he got out of the car and swung his bag on his back. He waved back at them with a small but grateful smile on his face. He then walked up the stairs, opened the door to the building and disappeared into the darkness. Rapunzel sighed and wished she could be with him right now. "You like him don't you?" Rapunzel whisked her head around to see Ana looking at her with a smirk. "Yeah the punk with crazy hair and piercings who probably will never like me and who is absolutely gorgeous. Of course I like him" Ana giggled with Rapunzel. "I bet he does but anyway I'm really worried about him" Rapunzel played with her hands as she thought about Jack. "Yeah, he hardly has enough money to buy lunch so he really doesn't eat, he won't let anyone see under his clothes when he gets hurt and rarely talks about his uncle" Ana nodded along with what she was saying. "I agree that is a bit strange, he finds it hard to talk about his uncle, he really didn't want us to go into his house and Jack shouldn't live here, in fact nobody should live here. His weight is also really worrying. He's very skinny. I'll talk to the councillor tomorrow and please Punzel if he acts 'strange' tell me okay, it will really help him. You of all people would know that" Rapunzel inwardly sighed as she remembered Ana helping her last year. "Yeah of course" Ana started the car and drove away from the apartment. "So apart from that, l was thinking about going and getting Ben and Jerry's ice-cream. Would you be interested?" Rapunzel's face said it all and with that they drove straight in the direction of Ben and Jerry's.

Ana linked arms with Rapunzel as they walked into the shop. "Why are we getting ice-cream when it's so cold?" Ana laughed "Because it's ice-cream!" Both their jaws dropped as they saw the ice-cream. There was so many delicious flavours and choices, too many to choose from. "May I help you both?" A lady at the bar, who looked like she was about to fall asleep, motioned for them to come forward. Ana looked at the ice-cream and decided what to get. "Okay can I get three scoops? I scoop of cotton candy, another of strawberry cheesecake and lastly coconut seven layer bar please" Rapunzel licked her lips as she watched the lady scoop out the ice cream. The lady passed it to Ana who couldn't help but stick her finger in it and try some. "And what about you darling?" Rapunzel giggled at the word. She loved the word darling, it was just so cute. "Ahh may I please have three scoops as well? Umm can I have a scoop of sweet cream cookies, a scoop of half-baked and lastly my favourite chocolate chip cookie dough" Rapunzel excitedly jumped up and down as she picked up the ice-cream and two spoons. She went and sat down as Ana paid for it. Rapunzel stuck her spoon in the deliciousness and moaned as she ate it. "Is it good?" asked Ana as she sat down across from Rapunzel and picked up her spoon. Rapunzel nodded as she went for another mouthful. Rapunzel thought, maybe now would be a good time to ask her about her past? Or maybe not. Ana notice Rapunzel looking worryingly back and forth. "What is it Punzel?" She smiled at herlovingly. Rapunzel decided it was worth a shot. "What happened to you in your past? Like with Bunnymund and this North?" Ana's smile shrunk and she sat there looking at her ring. "Well it's a really long story but if you really want to know about it.." "I really do" Ana's smile grew a bit. "Alright then here it goes…"
