Chapter 5
Anna phone began to buzz in her pocket. The number came up without a name, she silenced it and tossed it aside. "Damn telemarketers, I swear someone just needs to kill them all." Olaf cocked his brow at the feisty girl, shaking his head and looking back down at his breakfast.
"Wha tome class star?" He unattractively said with his mouth stuffed.
"Two pm, why?" Anna giggled at her silly friend.
"I just figured we would pick up Elsa, since you and her have kinda become besties." He smirked at his roommate.
"She probably thinks I'm crazy or something, hell I don't even have her phone number! Or know her last name." She was searching through her contacts, looking for the blonde girls name.
"So? She's like a goddess, I mean you fell asleep so fast in her arms! And she's strong." Olaf dropped his plate into the sink, the silver scarping against the side.
Anna's phone began to buzz again, this time it was a different number, "Ugh! Just...fine." Her thumb answered the call, "Hello? Yeah that's me. Elsa's what?! Is she ok!? Yeah I'll be right there! Ok, bye." The redhead looked at Olaf, tears in her eyes. "Elsa's in the hospital, something about a rusty nail in her hand," Olaf began to say something, "I've gotta go Olaf, I'll see you at school." She grabbed her coat and ran out the door, cutting Olaf's words off.
She was at full sprint ever since she hit the side walk. Jabbing around people, through traffic, and the crazy bike messengers. The hospital finally came into view, 'Just six more block, hang on Elsa.' Her mind was spinning, only one thing mattered, Elsa. She burst through the doors, her eyes dry and nose running. "Elsa, where's Elsa?" She begged the girl across the counter.
"What's her last name, dear?" The brown eyes burned into her soul.
'Oh, shit...I don't know.' She thought long and hard. "I...I don't...I don't know." Tears began to fall from here eyes, she couldn't stop them. Her knees felt weak against the hard floor, her hands gripped the desk to keep from crumbling to the ground.
"Well, it's your lucky day miss, she is the only Elsa here. I'll show you the way." The brown eyes stood up and walk towards the doors, "Come on."
Anna pushed off the desk, stumbling for a second. She followed the nurse down two different halls until they reached room 357, "Here you are." The nurse opened the door and ushered the red head inside. Sure enough those big blue eye were fixed on Anna, "Oh god, what happened?"
"Oh, it's nothing just a little cut. No biggie." The blonde smiled at her friend.
"If it were nothing you wouldn't be in here," Anna gestured to the room, "Elsa..please tell me what happened." She grabbed a chair and sat down next to the bed, grabbing the blondes hand.
Tears welled up in Elsa's eyes. "Anna...I..I," she took a deep breath, "I cut a vein in my hand, but that's not all..." Elsa's swallowed the lump in her throat, tears now flowing freely. "Th...the doctor wanted me to get a scan or something, to uhm make sure nothing else was wrong..an...and they," The blonde shrunk into the bed, "They found a tumor in my head." Her silent tears turned into sobs, her hand tightened around the red heads. They sat there for a moment, hand in hand. Anna stared blankly at their hands, Elsa's eyes were sealed shut, tears still falling.
"Elsa." Anna finally broke the silence. "It will be okay, we can get through this together, I'll help you anyway I can. I'm here for you...and I'm not going anywhere." The blonde looked down into the deep green eyes.
"I'm scared Anna, I'm so...so scared." Her eyes were red, she sniffled, Elsa picked up their hands and kissed Anna's.
"You don't have to be afraid. We can conquer this mountain together, you don't have to live in fear." Anna rested her forehead on the blondes thigh.
Knock Knock * The door to the room opened and a man in a white coat walked in, "Miss Frost?"
"Yes?" The blondes voice was shaky.
Anna looked confused, the mans voice filled the air once more, "I would like to talk to you about your options and how we can move forward."
"A-alright." A look of defeat on the pale blondes face.
"We could do a few things here, obviously there is the option of surgery but we can't promise to completely remove the tumor. There are some trial drugs that we could try, but those are not set in stone. Otherwise there isn't much we can do. Just remember there is no reason you can't beat this and never give up, I'll let you think about it. I'll be back in a few minutes to hear your decision. Also I'd like to keep you here over night to make sure everything is just okay for right now." He put down the clip board and let the room, his coat looked more like a cape to Anna.
"I don't know what to do Anna." The blonde girl began to cry once more.
"Hey it's okay, it's not easy to decide. But I think there is another way to do this." The red head smiled at the poor girl. "We can get you on an organic, less sugar. Hell I'll even do a detox with you. Nobody needs to cut into that beautiful head of yours, and I'm not letting you go on any trial meds."
Elsa smiled, "You sound like my mother." She giggled and smiled.
"Speaking of which, why aren't they here?" Anna said quizically.
The smile disappeared from the blue eyed girl, "I-I didn't want to burden them with something so small at the time." She glanced down at her lap. "They wouldn't be happy."
Anna frowned, "They are your parents Elsa, they love you. No matter what."
"Clearly you don't know my parents." She gave an annoyed laugh. Silence filled the room once more and the pair sat there for a moment. "Were you serious? About doing all of those things?" Elsa gazed at Anna.
"Of course, my mom was a total natural organic freak, I can get some of her books from my dads. I can see if he knows anything too." Anna smiled into the blondes eyes. "I'll even move in with you if you don't want to be alone."
Elsa's eyes got wide at her comment. 'Anna living with me. That sounds so nice, but I don't want to take away her life just to take care of me...I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I did that. She's being so nice to me. Maybe she just feel bad for me.'
"Elsa, stop thinking like that! I don't feel bad for you, well I do, but not like...well you know what I mean. I want to help you. I want to be there for you. Please let me help you, just let me in." Anna began to tear up.
Elsa hadn't realized she said that out loud. She looked at the girl who now cried by her bed side. "I just don't want to be a pai-"
"Stop. I'm moving in with you. I'm going to help you fight this. We are going to beat this thing. Together." The red head looked straight into those deep blue eyes, her face stern and serious. "That's final."
The door to the room opened once more as the doctor walked back in. "Have you gals come to a decision?"
"I think we have." Anna spoke up before Elsa could say anything. "We are going to find some natural remedies, before we look towards more modern ones."
"Sounds like a great choice." The doctor smiled. "Oh, and if you'd like to stay here with your friend, miss, you can."
Anna nodded and smiled at him, before he turned around to leave. Anna looked back at Elsa. "Do you want me to stay?"
"Don't you have to go to class? It's only the 3rd day Anna." Elsa cocked her brow looking towards her new roommate.
"You are more important then school." This made Elsa blush and smile.
"You don't look so comfortable." Elsa scooted to the edge of her bed and patted the side. The red head climbed up onto the hospital bed and the two girls were squished next to each other, but they were happy. Elsa fell asleep with her head on Annas shoulder, their hands still intertwined. No one bothered them the rest of the night and Anna laid there, watching over the girl she was falling head over heels for. 'This is going to be amazing' she thought to herself. She pulled out her phone, she had seven text messages from Olaf, and two calls.
"Olaf, relax. I'm not coming home tonight. I'm staying with Elsa at the hospital, oh and by the way I'm moving in with her. Things turned out to be pretty bad here. Don't forget to eat dinner!" She hit send and turned off her phone, knowing that we would probably freak out and call her. She nestled herself into the blondes limp body and fell asleep.
Hi! I know I usually do this at the beginning but I decided to change it up! So a few things, I know this was a bit longer but it didn't feel right to end it anywhere, so I just cut it haha. I didn't know where to go with this one but that's how it came out. Oh don't forget to leave a review! I hope that everyone is enjoying it so far! Let me know if you're not and what I could do better! Have a good day or night or afternoon or aftermorning or afternight. :)
