Chapter four: - from Rapunzel's point of view- their kiss
After I had gotten settled in my room, I walked out into the hallway and into Jack's room. He wasn't there. Panic flooded through me. He must be with Elsa. ALONE WITH ELSA. oh no. I stumbled out of his room and out the hallway, ran out the stairs and out the gates. As I walked toward a group of tall trees, I stopped dead in my tracks. Right before my eyes were Jack and Elsa, kissing, Elsa on top of Jack. I spun around and ran back to the castle, holding back tears and screams of frustration. I thought... I just thought that he liked me! But there he...And Elsa...There's no point in competing now. Elsa...Elsa won. She won Jack. I slowly trudged up the stairs and back into my room. I shut the door and flopped onto the bed, sobbing quietly.
After a few hours, Merida knocked on my door. "Rapunzel, are ye coming to dinner?" she said. I moaned and pulled myself out of my bed. "ugh." I opened the door. Merida gasped. "WHAT HAPPENED?!" "nothing." I responded. "Oh, come on. ye got tear streaks on your face." I ran my fingers through a strand of my golden hair. "do I look bad?" Merida shrugged. "nah." "I don't feel like eating" I tell her. She grabs my hand and pulls me into the hallway. "Too bad. 'yer thin enough as it is, and Arendelle makes amazing food." She dragged me down the stairs and into the dining hall. When I saw Jack I perked up, until I remembered why I was sad in the first place. I sit as far away as possible from him, and I don't engage in conversation at all for the entire meal. Jack however, doesn't notice. Elsa doesn't say anything for the entire meal either, just blushes and looks down at her plate. Her sister Anna talks quite a lot, about many different topics. The whole time I feel like crying.
After the meal I sit alone in my room and try to read my favorite book. My attention just keeps drifting away to Jack. His snowy white hair, blue eyes, free spirit. If I was brave enough to have just made a move and ask him out, none of this would have happened. I should just move on already. Its clear he has. I shouldn't be mad at Elsa either. Its not like she knew I liked him. My thoughts are interrupted by Jack barging into my room. "JACK!" I shout, utterly startled. He laughs and falls onto my bed. I get off of it and stand by the door. "C'mon Punz, whats wrong?" he asks. I sigh. "shouldn't you be hanging out with Elsa or something?" He sits up. "What?" "I saw the kiss." I say. He stands up. "Oh..." He blushes."you know, it didnt mean anything." he says. "WELL, IT MEANT SOMETHING TO ELSA!" I shout. tears are forming in my eyes. "YOU CAN'T JUST DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT JACK. YOU CANT JUST KISS RANDOM GIRLS AND STRING OTHER ONES ALONG, MAKING THEM WONDER HOW YOU REALLY FEEL. THAT'S NOT OKAY JACK." he steps back, startled by my sudden outburst. "oh..." I sit back down on my bed. I'm overreacting, I know it. He sits down next to me. "hey," he says, brushing a slowly falling tear off of my cheek. "I'm sorry." He says nothing else. He begins to lean toward me. He is about to kiss me. I pull away. "No." I say. "This is just what I mean. i'll kiss you when Elsa's out of the picture." He nods. He stands up and walks out of my room, looking back at me with an expressionless face as he closes the door.
I would cry, but now I'm filled with anger. who does he think he is? He JUST kissed Elsa a few hours ago. Elsa and me are both just victims. I was too blind to see it before, but now I do. The kind of guy jack is. I hope him and Elsa are happy.
