Sorry for the late update. My god, it keeps happening to me. I just am not a fast writer so please have patience. So, everybody good at school and work ? I do, I have a great study and I enjoy my classmates. Only the theoretic lessons are soooooo stupid and dull and I am not good at them... But luckily I do have Storytelling so I learn a lot about how to tell a story !

Enjoy this chapter, I wrote it with love :)

It's dinner time and the whole Frost family is seated at the dining table. It is awfully quiet, only the sound of food getting crushed and swallowed can be heard. Jamie doesn't seem to mind, he stuffs the food down his throat and even almost threw up due to eating too fast. He is just always hungry and therefor eats a lot. Though, he never gets fat, only taller. Mr. and Mrs. Frost are eating peacefully although, Mr. Frost does notice his eldest son's pessimistic behaviour. He wonders what's going on in the boy's head, he seemed very tense and stressed lately. Maybe the school's pressure is too much on him.

Jack sighs, he noticed he sighed a lot the last couple of weeks. Well, it's been hard, emotionally and physically. He had to learn so much in so little time and then there's this love case that doesn't evolve. Only on his behalf because he feels like he grows more attracted to her while she still sees their relationship as platonic. He feels sad and frustrated because his love cannot be answered and secretly he knows that he is supposed to be happy for her that her life has turned out so well but he just can't. He is over the moon with her and can't stop thinking about her, she is constantly in his mind and never ever leaves. But sometimes it's just nice to fantasise about what could have happened if things turned out differently.

He would be big and muscular, she would still be pretty and smart. He would laugh at her jokes and she would giggle whenever he tells her that she's beautiful. She would wake him up every morning with a hug and he would make her breakfast in return. She would go off to work and he would pull her back to kiss her one more time. He then would go off to work and send her endless messages about his dull actions. She would reply to him that her work isn't that exciting either. During lunch time, he would visit her holding a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates. She would smile as she smells her favourite flowers and smirk at the chocolate, as if he tells her she has to gain a bit more weight. Then, he reluctantly would go back to work already thinking about going home to his love. She would come home and cook a lovely dinner for the both of them, then they would argue about how he did the dishes. And in the evening, they would snuggle up the couch together and watch a movie while sipping their wine. And to end another perfect day, they would make love to each other while he worshipped and cherished her gorgeous body. And she would ruffle her hands through his wild boyish hair and wrap her arms around his neck as he lifts her up and walks over to the shower.

Oh how nice would that have been if that were the case, sadly, it's anywhere but near that. Jack knows that his time will come and that he will meet a girl eventually that will be just like her or even better. Although he highly doubts that there will be someone better than her. He spoke with his dad a lot about this particular subject, not that he is madly in love with his teacher but the infamous girlfriend talk.

Dinner is over and Jack's mom is already starting with the dishes. Jack isn't feeling that great and decides to go outside to get some air. He steps on the porch and watches the sky and its stars that shine so bright. Behind him, his dad appears. He quietly comes standing next to his son and watches the sky along with him. Then he looks aside and gives his son a smile.

"Jack." He says.

"Hi dad."

"Are you alright ? You were awfully quiet today."

The boy shakes his head. "Honestly, I don't know. I have these mixed feelings about everything and school is totally wearing me out. Plus, Eugene's got a girlfriend now so he is spending more time with her and I am just-... I don't know how I am."

"Well, it seems to me that you're in some kind of fase. Are you feeling alone or do you want someone in your life too now that your best friend's in love ?" Mr. Frost asks kindly.

"It's just that I am already 18 and never had a real girlfriend you know. I had one but that doesn't count cause back then I was a child."

His dad places a hand on his son's shoulder. "Just wait for it, it'll come eventually, I'm sure. Such a fine looking boy as you are shouldn't be worrying about getting a girl. Besides, you're a great kid, you have the heart in the right place and that's what's important."

"Thanks dad." Jack replies.

"And how is school going ? It wears you out, I noticed but besides that, are your grades getting any better ?"

"Yeah, it's going great. History is very fascinating and I just really like that guy. He's very active and very interesting. Ehm, English is ok as for Science and Philosophy. Mathematics are going better every week, Ms. Winters is very pleased with my progress she said." Jack tells his dad, he blushes as he mentions his maths teacher.

His dad notices it and grins. When boys talk about a girl they like, they all act the same: shy and full of awe. "Speaking of which, how are the two of you doing anyways. She said she wanted to give you a few extra lessons, has it already happened ?"

The white haired boy nods. "She already gave a few lessons, like three or four I think. They went great, I won't be needing them soon I think but I want to because I really like her teaching it, I mean she's just great and she explains it so well and I just get it and she totally captures me and-..." Jack suddenly rambles, it's all too much and he just can't hold it back anymore. It has to be said.

"Seems to me that you really like her then." The older man states.

"Is... Is that wrong ?" Jack asks insecure.

Mr. Frost shakes his head. "No, of course not. You can like someone very much, even though she's your teacher. You can have crushes, it's very normal at this age. I've had them too you know. Eventually they'll just fade away or you'll fall in love once you get to know this person better."

"Oh. Ok."

"Why you ask ? Are you having a crush on her ?"

"Wait, what !? No, no why would you think that !" Jack shouts.

His dad shrugs. "I was just asking because you really seem to care for her. I do hear you and your brother talk much about girls and in particular, her."

"Oh my-... DAAAD, you were eavesdropping on us ?!"

"Well no, I just happen to hear it. And so what ? I'm a guy too, I understand what it feels like when you like a girl that much. The question is, does she like you back ?" The older man asks while raising his eyebrow.

Jack sighs. "That's the problem. She... I just found out today that she's engaged. I mean, I did know that she has a boyfriend and such but now she's going to get married and it just... it really sucks."

His father lays his arm around Jack's shoulder. "So, she's off the market then. But you really thought that you and her could work ? I mean, after all, she is your teacher. She is superior to you. And I don't know how it would have worked out at school for the both of you. A relationship between a student and a teacher can be seen as something very... wrong and negative. Though the fact that you differ about 5 years but still... I don't know how things would have worked out."

"But dad, I really like her. Like, love her. And I think she really likes me, she said so herself. She said that we should see each other as friends. I've talked with her many times and I know much about her, like more than a student should know about his teacher. But I don't care and she doesn't either. I told her things about me too, she really seems to like our conversations. I've grown to love her these last couple of months, I mean, I've known her for half a year now and I'm really sure we're talking about love."

"But now you know that she's engaged, she's going to marry another man. And that man happens to not be you, so you need to let this go. She already found a love in someone else. That doesn't mean that you can't see each other, you can love each other but in a platonic way. But you can't be jealous or mad at her, she didn't know you until this year and I'm pretty sure she knew her boyfriend before you. Let her have this piece of happiness. If you really love someone, you wish them the best. And sometimes you aren't the best for them so you have to let them go in order to let them be happy. And if they're happy, then you are. And sometimes letting someone go can be very painful but it's worth it. You'll find someone who will love you, one day. Till then, just wait for it to happen. Don't go looking for it cause then you'll look for the big things and miss the small things which are as much as important as the bigger ones. Do you understand what I'm trying to say ?" Mr. Frost asks his son.

The boy nods. "I know. But letting her go is so hard. I mean, I know my changes are zero but I just love her so much. I mean, I get all excited just to see her and when someone talks about her. My heart makes quick jumps when she speaks or looks at me. I wanna do good at school for her, to make her proud of me. I want her to really like me. I just enjoy her company and being around her all the time. I never get tired of her, she's like a drug to me. I can't get her out of my head, never."

His dad ruffles his messy hair and laughs. "Yeah, women tend to do that to men. It's one of their many trademarks that I like so much about them. Don't worry, you'll get over her eventually. Just give it some time, till then, just talk with her like you always do. You're building a friendship and that's always good." He advices his son.

"Ok, thanks dad. It was nice... this... conversation with you." Jack says.

"Of course son."

Jack stands up to go inside, his mom appears and sees her husband sitting in front of the porch. She comes sitting next to him and rubs his back. "Hi Jeff. Ye had a nice talk ?" She asks gentle.

"Yeah, I just discovered that our son is in love with his teacher." He answers.

Mrs. Frost raises her eyebrows. "Is that so ? So you discovered it just now ?" He nods. She laughs.

"What are you laughing at !?" He asks confused.

"Honey, I knew it already. Long time before Jack even knew it himself !"

"What ? Why didn't you say so then ?"

"I just wanted to wait and see how it would turn out. Would Elsa reject him when he would tell her. Would they become best friends and move on from that... I just wanted to see how their relationship would evolve. And to be honest, it was quite amusing." The woman tells with a chuckle.

Her husband laughs and wraps his arms around her. "Oh Lillian, you are a naughty girl ! You know, I went through the same period with as Jack is now going with Ms. Winters. And you know how you tortured me mentally right !?"

"Hahaha, that was a great time. You were so naive and cute, and too in love with me, to not pay attention on your actions." Lillian gets a playful glare from Jeff. She raises her hands up in defence. "He, it's not my fault that you got fired in the first place !"

"No, but you sure played a big part in it !"

"Yeah, I did but thanks to me you got a better job right ?" Lillian asks.

He kisses her on the forehead. "I sure did, the best job in the world."

"Remember that evening we first started dating ?" She suddenly asks. "I was so nervous to ask you."

"You were ? I sure didn't notice ! You always looked so comfortable and relaxed with everything. I was just surprised that you wanted to go out with me !" He laughs as he thinks back at that time.

It's Friday afternoon and Lillian is on her way home. She decided to go over to Jeff's work to meet him again. She knows that he likes her, like Like her and she played with it well enough. Today she's going to confess to him that she likes him too. In a few minutes she enters the little dining room, she doesn't take a seat, she goes straight to the counter and asks some guy if Jeff's somewhere. He screams something and then, a shy boy appears from the kitchen. As soon as he sees Lillian, a smile creeps up his face.

"Hi Lil, what are you doing here ?" He asks while trying to look manly and muscular while in fact, he is cute and skinny.

She smiles at his behaviour. "I came here to see you."

"Me ?"

"Yeah, you. Ehm, can I talk to you somewhere where your friends not are ?"

He nods. "Sure." He leads her to the corner and gestures her to sit down.

"So." Lillian begins as she fiddles with the buttons of her shirt nervously. "I noticed that you are around me a lot lately."

His head turns red.

"And." She continues. "I really enjoyed your company. I really like you Jeff. I know you like me, like Like me. Right ?"

He nods carefully.

"Well. I came here to ask you if... if you would like to go to the movies friday night ?" There I finally said it, she thinks as she breaths out.

"You mean, as going out with you ? Like on a date ?"

Lillian nods her head as she stares at him, wondring wether he'll say yes or no, making her look like a total fool. After some thinking, he too nods his head. "Of course I wanna go on a date with you !" He exclaims.

Her eyes light up. "You do ? Ok great, 7 pm at my house ? I live nearby the city, we could go with my car." She suggests.

"Yeah totally. I'll be there." He says. "I have to go back to work, see ya then !" And he sprints away. He disappears into the kitchen and two seconds later, Lillian hears some yelling and shouting and clapping. She smiles, she sure did pick out a cute guy ! Content with her plans for friday evening, she walks out of the dining room onto the street.

"Wait, you heard me celebrating in victory ?" Jeff asks his wife in disbelief.

She nods and then bursts out into laughs. "Yeah I did honey. You were quite noisy, the whole dining room could hear you !" Then she gives him a kiss on the cheek. "But I liked it, it showed that you were happy to go out with me and that you were interested in me."

"I will always be interested in you." Jeff answers as he kisses his lady back. They kiss longer and more intense. The light of the day already made place for the darkness of the night, only the light of the lamp on the porch lightens the couple.

"IIEEEWWWWW, JAACCCKKK. They're kissing, AGAINNN !" Jamie yells in disgust. He is standing on the couch and peeks through the curtains to see what his parents are up to. He didn't expect them to make out, not in front of the window !

Jack walks over to his younger brother. "Then why are you watching ?" He asks laughing.

"I just wanted to see what took them so long." The younger brother answers. "Why do they even do that. Do they like it or something ? How come I never see you kissing ?"

"Because if I kissed you like that, you would hate me for the rest of your life !" The white haired boy jokes.

"No not me, a girl ! I never seen you make out with one ! You do know how to love a girl right ?" Jamie mocks.

Jack pushes him over, the boy falls on the couch. "Because you don't look on the right moments. I am a master in loving girls, you just miss it." He whispers in his little brother's ear as he tries to get hold of the fists that are coming his way.

Jamie pushes his brother over and lays on top of him. He bends over and looks him daring in the eye. "Are you ever going to tell me who she is ?"

"No. Never." Jack throws his legs up that causes Jamie to fly through the air and to land on a rug in the room. Quickly, Jack pulls Jamie over onto his belly and holds his arms behind the younger boy's back. "But she's really pretty and very smart !"

Jamie tries to laugh but it's quite difficult when you're laying on you're stomach and your older brother lays on top of you. "Women can't be pretty and smart at the same time !"

"Oh yes they can !" Jack throws back at him as he sits on his brother's back.

"My god Jack, you're heavy ! Please get off of me, I can't breath !" Jamie whines.

"Yeah right. As if I'm going to believe that." Jack mocks.

"Please please get off of me. I CAN'T BREATHE !" Jamie shouts and begins to panic as he realises that he's clearly choking.

"You won't fool me this time little bro !" The elder boy laughs as he doesn't move an inch. With one hand, he tickles Jamie's side. No reaction. Normally Jamie always laughs and tries to get away. Not this time, the boy lays on the ground with his eyes closed. Jack scares, he moves off of his brother as quickly as he can. "Jamie ?" He asks while turning his brother on his back. "JAMIE !" He's clearly panicking now. "Oh no, what have I done ? Is he dead ? JAMIE, can you hear me !? O no, this is not good. This is bad, this is so bad. What if he's dead ? Why didn't I stop when he asked me to ?" Jack panics as his hands go through his hair.

"BOOOHHH!" Jamie suddenly screams.

The older boy's eyes go wide in shock. "WHAT DA F-... YOU SON OF A BITCH, I THOUGHT YE WERE DEAD FUCKER !" He shouts as he realises he didn't kill his brother after all. He gives Jamie a friendly push against his shoulder. "Don't you ever do that again ! You almost gave me a heart attack !"

Jamie stands up and wraps his arms around the neck of his older brother. "I'm sure a good actor right ?"

Jack grins as he leans back into Jamie's chest. "You sure are little bro."

"So what were you and dad talking 'bout ?"

"Oh just some man to man talk..." Jack says.

The younger boy punches his brother against the forearm. "Hee, I am a man too !" He pouts.

"Haha yeah right, a weak man !" Another punch. "Autsch, ok ok." Jack admits while rubbing his arm. "Dad and I were just talking about me and about school..."

"Aaaaannnddd ?" Jamie asks, knowing his older brother is holding something back.

"Well, and a certain... girl I really like."

"I KNEW IT !" Jamie shouts. He jumps off of his brother and makes a little victory dance through the room. "JACKIE IS IN LUUUUHHHUUUVVVV !"

"Will you shut up ! And yes, I'm in love if that's what you wanna call it." Jamie turns his head and looks at Jack, his mouth wide agape. The older boy continues. "And I am not embarrassed by it. I love her and I know that one day, she'll love me back. So, if you still wanna know what dad and I were talking about..."

"Iew noooo. Nevermind. I don't wanna talk about love and girls anymore." The brown haired boy states. He starts to walk away, but then he walks back to Jack and goes sitting next to him. "But did you and dad have a nice conversation then ?"

Jack smiles. "Yes we had. He gave me some good advice. He really knows a lot, you know you can always come to him if you need anything to know right ?"

Jamie nods. "Father always knows best !" He says.

"No that's not entirely true, but he sure knows better than we do." Jack says as his brother cuddles against him on the couch. Father's are strange human beings, that's for sure. One minute they'll make you laugh and happy, the other minute they'll make you cry and get angry with them. But in the end, you do know they'll always love you, even if you did something bad. And even they'll piss you off sometimes, you really can't live without them. They are the pillars of your life, they give you advice and help you to build your own life. They are there for you in the sad times and in the joyful times. They will always carry you in your heart, you are their child and you'll never be something else as that. And they'll do anything for you to give you the best. But, every father has to remember that his child will act like the example he has given them instead of the advice he has given them...
