Look at yourself, Elsa. You're such a mess. Why are you even crying? Someone actually tried to be nice to you, tried to hold a normal conversation, and you can't even do that.

Elsa was trying desperately to stop the tears rolling down her cheeks, but to no avail. Having ran out of the class, she went to the first bathroom she saw. That girl, Anna... She was nice to you. She said she wouldn't leave, no matter what. Why are you so afraid of that? Thinking about Anna, a pang of regret flowed through her. She wished she hadn't ran out so quickly, or freaked out the way she did. She wanted to go apologize, but she had no idea why her simple words put her in such a state.

Closing her eyes, taking a deep breath, she tried to think. What was it that Anna had said to put her in such a state? She tried to think back, as far as she could, as hard as that was for her. What did She say? Just that I could tell her if something was wrong, and that she wasn't going to leave. She began to calm down, finally thinking clearly. All at once, she saw something. A memory, moment frozen in time, seemingly lost in her mind until that moment.

Suddenly, she was no longer in the bathroom. She was standing in front of a boy, a boy with red hair and slightly ridiculous sideburns. Who is that? Why am I seeing this? Is this some memory? Maybe I can learn what happened to me... She suddenly realized... she could see herself. It was almost as if she were standing beside herself, watching. She could tell they were arguing.Why was I arguing with this boy? What was it about?

She strained to hear the words, although they seemed distant, as if she were listening through a wall, and the words were muffled. The boy was saying something now. "... Party... I need you... Driver..." She was scrambling to figure out the memory, but it wasn't easy without most of the conversation. The only clear thing was that he was clearly pleading with her. Why did he want me to go to the party with him? Were we dating? I don't remember ever liking a guy, but I don't remember much since… She finished the sentence in her mind, frowning in frustration. What happened to my memory? I have so many questions, but there's nobody to ask. Looking back to the argument in the memory, the boy had a slight smirk on his face. The version of her that she could see looked shaken, almost scared. He had clearly said something to catch her off guard. At this point she could no longer hear the two, but she saw the one word that herself mouthed in shock. "Blackmail."

Quickly darting her eyes back to the boy,she watched him begin to fade. Panic rising up inside of her, not wanting to lose the only old memory she thought she had, she tried to call to him, but nothing came out. Looking back to herself, she was fading too. Her eyes darted between both of them, and in a last attempt to hold on, she tried to grab her past self, flinging her body around the girl. "Don't leave me here alone!"

Anna was helpless to do anything but watch Elsa dart out the door. Of everything she had expected, that had not been on the list. Hell, it wasn't even close. Should I go after her? No, that's a dumb question. Of course I should. She probably ran to a restroom... if only I knew where they were. Getting out of her seat, as class had only just started, and the teacher had not begun to teach, she made her way to Mrs. Nickel.

"What was that all about? I looked up to see her shout something, and run out." She asked Anna, face clearly worried.

"It was just a misunderstanding... She's been having a bad day." True. "She's my friend, and I know where she went." Not exactly true. "Can I go get her?"

The Blonde teacher smiled kindly, and Anna realized just how attractive she was. "Of course, Ms. Newman. Just hurry back, okay?"

Anna nodded appreciatively, and turned quickly out of the class. That was... easier than I expected. Once out of the room, she looked around for a sign, or something pointing her in the right direction for a bathroom. She walked to her left, hoping to find something. I guess this way is as good as the other. Now I wonder why Elsa freaked out like that… I don't think I said anything to do that… Did I? Lost in her thoughts, she almost missed the wall to her left that opened up into the girl's room. Taking a deep breath, she turned to walk in, preparing herself for whatever lay inside.

Before she could move though, she heard a slight whimper from inside. That must be Elsa. I hope she's not still crying… Taking a step in, she saw her.

Elsa was standing there, staring straight ahead into the mirror, eyes distant. She didn't seem to notice Anna walking in, and her hands were clenched tightly around her braid, still draped over her left shoulder. Her pale freckled face was red from crying, but there didn't seem to be any more tears. Instead, her lips were slightly open, and she seemed confused and surprised.

"Elsa? Are… Are you alright?" Anna asked, stepping forward. There was no reaction, not even a sign that the girl had heard her. Frowning slightly, Anna walked around her, and tilted her head into Elsa's point of view. "Elsa, are you okay?"

Suddenly, the blonde began to dart her eyes to the left, then to the right. She seemed to be looking at two different things, and panic fell into her eyes. Her mouth opened a bit wider, as if she were going to say something, but nothing came out. All of a sudden, she turned to Anna, and shouted, "Don't leave me here alone!"

Elsa breathed a sigh of relief when she made contact with herself, not wanting to think about it. To have something from her past, even something as strange as this, was a HUGE step in the right direction for her. Without stopping to ask questions, she held the girl tightly in a hug, as if she were the only thing keeping her alive. "Don't leave… Please… You're all I have left."

"Don't worry, I won't… But what do you mean, all you have left?" A voice replied. Caught off guard, Elsa released the girl, looking at who she had been holding onto for dear life. To her surprise, it wasn't herself from the memory, but Anna. After a moment of confusion, her eyes dropped to the ground, tears ready to flow again. After all that had just happened, whatever it was, she was no closer to discovering her past than she was 10 minutes ago.

"It's… It's just you…" She managed to squeak out before the tears began to flow down her cheeks again.

"Just… me?" Anna asked, her voice trailing off at the end. Clearly Elsa's words had upset her, but Elsa couldn't bring herself to care at the moment. "Oh, alright… I thought maybe I could help somehow, or something… Nevermind, I guess." The hurt in her voice was painfully obvious, even to Elsa. Even in her current state, she knew she had to do something. Way to go, you disgrace. You hurt her, and for what? Because she tried to help you? Ugh… Just… Do SOMETHING. PLEASE.

Scrambling for the right words to say, but coming up with nothing, Elsa looked up at Anna. What she saw shocked her, and hurt her more than she could've ever expected. Oh god… She's crying. DO SOMETHING, Dammit! This is your fault.

Trying to come up with something to say, Elsa threw herself back at Anna, holding onto her just as hard as before, if not stronger. Suddenly, the words came pouring out.

"No, that's not what I meant. I thought I saw someone else. Stop crying, please. I didn't mean for those words to come out like that, and I can't stand to see someone hurt because of me. You were right, back in English. When you said we could help each other, you know? I know I ran out on you back in there, but I have just been having a terrible time recently. If you really want to help, I can tell you about it later, but right now I need you to stop crying. Please… For me?"

Her sudden outbreak caused both girls to hesitate, clearly surprised. Elsa was thankful that she was still pressing herself against Anna, so her now bright red cheeks felt like they were on fire, and she might've fell had the two not been practically holding each other up. That was… More than I wanted to say. It couldn't hurt much though, could it? She seems to have stopped crying, for the most part.

Feeling Anna pulling back, Elsa released the girl. Looking into her eyes, slightly worried, she was relieved to see Anna wiping her tears away with a smile. "Thank you, Elsa. I just… I guess I have abandonment issues or something, huh?" She joked, trying to cheer herself up more. "I guess I can tell you about it later, too."

Feeling warm inside from Anna's words, Elsa smiled sincerely and warmly, undoubtedly bigger than she had smiled in quite some time. She nodded, and pulled the other girl back into her arms. This time, there were no tears, or worried feelings of depression and desperation. All each girl could think of was the other girl in her arms.
