CHAPTER 6

So yeah, Anna can't contain her feelings anymore. But gosh I dunno what to write next, I'm afraid of not meeting your expectations! But I'll try my best!

Disclaimer: I do not own FROZEN.

"Anna! Wake up! You're gonna be late!" Idun yelled from the kitchen. It was already past seven in the morning if Anna didn't get up then she would be late for her class. "Honey, Elsa, can you please wake up your sister?"

Elsa froze. How? How could she possibly go to her sister's room and face her after what happened? Her face flushed as she recalled the events last night. Elsa couldn't face Anna for now, she just couldn't, even if last night may have been just a bad joke or something caused by alcohol. Elsa stood up abruptly from her seat, grabbed her bag and said,"I'm sorry, mom but I need to get to school early. B-Bye!" She kissed her mother on the cheek and rushed out of the door before her mother could even say anything.

Elsa was sitting at her empty classroom when she was startled by the sudden embrace of Hans.

"Hey babe, what do you want to eat?" Hans noticed Elsa's expression. "What's the problem? Is it about your sister again?"

"No, no! Why would you think that babe?" Elsa said quickly, her voice trembling a little. By just hearing the word 'sister' she tensed. Why was she even acting like that? Her sister was probably just drunk or trying to pull one on her. She shouldn't feel so… She didn't even know what she was feeling. She felt a hand caressing her face and saw Hans trying to comfort her from whatever was troubling her. Somehow, it just made her uncomfortable.

"Sorry, babe, but I'm not feeling well," she said, removing Hans' hand on her face. "Is it okay if you go to the cafeteria first? My, uh, throat kinda hurts." Elsa gave a little cough and cleared her throat, hoping Hans would believe her.

"Okay, babe. I'll be back as quick as I can. Want me to fetch something for you?" Hans' voice was sweet, a pleasing tone to Elsa's ear. She shook her head and Hans gave a small nod before proceeding to the cafeteria.

Elsa stared at his back as he walked away, feeling guilty about lying but she just couldn't afford to be with Hans with all these thoughts in her head. She felt like she was cheating on him but she knew she couldn't tell him what happened last night. At the back of her mind she knew there was something else, something that was making her feel so conflicted. The hard part was finding out what it was.

Anna didn't go to school. She was still lying on her bed despite being awake hours ago. She heard her door open and close followed by soft footsteps that Anna knew belonged to her mother. She turned on her side hoping her mother would leave. She couldn't face Idun with swollen eyes.

A warm hand touched her forehead as if to check her temperature. It was just a simple gesture, really, but it was so familiar and comforting that Anna suddenly wanted to cry because of it. She faced her mother slowly and told her that she wasn't feeling well, which wasn't exactly a lie, and with her face right now she didn't even need to cough or sniffle to get her mother to believe her. Idun patted her cheeks gently and left her to rest. Once her mother left, Anna thought back to her actions last night and made up her mind once again. She knew that was her only choice. To lie to her sister—and herself—and pretend everything was caused by alcohol.

Dinner was awkwardly silent. Idun and Adgar glanced at each other before turning their gazes to their daughters. Not able to take the silence anymore, Adgar cleared his throat and asked, "What's wrong, ladies? Did you have another fight?"

None of the sisters looked at Adgar. Then Anna pushed back her chair and said, "No, dad. I'm just still not feeling well. A-anyway, I'm done and I want to rest so if you'll excuse me…" Anna didn't wait for her father's response before leaving.

Anna pulled Elsa to her room as soon as her sister stepped upstairs. "Elsa, listen to me—"

Elsadidn't look at her as she cut in. "Anna, I'm not—I don't want—I'm not ready to talk to you."

Anna was saddened by this but decided to hide it. "Please listen to me. I'm sorry. I just got so wasted yesterday, and there were a lot of unusual things at the bar—I swear what happened last night was just me being drunk. I mean," Anna forced a chuckle, "Ew? Me and you? There's just no way, ha ha. So, um, please, forgive me."

After a beat Elsa looked at her at last. "Geez! Don't ever do that again, okay? And if you can't handle your alcohol then just don't drink. God! I just can't..." Elsa shook her head, then her voice turned mellow. "I'll forgive you. But never, ever, do that again."

Anna just shrugged and smiled at her sister, relieved that Elsa accepted her pathetic excuse, and broken hearted because was this how she's just going to be? Hiding behind lies and excuses?

With a soft smile, Elsa patted Anna's shoulder before she left the room. As soon as the door closed Elsa leaned back on it and frowned at the floor. Her chest hurt when Anna said her actions were caused by the alcohol, and she didn't understand why. She should have been happy because they have cleared everything and were probably now back to talking. So why did it feel like wanted to cry?

Ok sorry for unbalanced length each chapters, but i'm hoping you'll still read, so for those who are reading I thank you from the bottom and pit of my heart. :)
