Chapter 10
Anna's eyes fluttered open, the sky above her was lined with golds and oranges, there was a warm feeling to her left. Her arms were wrapped around something...no someone. She could see strands of almost white hair intertwined in her fire red locks. Annas fingers gripped against the girls cool body, nothing but a light sheet covered them.
She kissed the girls head as Elsa shifted in her grasp. "Good morning." Elsa mumbled with a smile.
"Good morning." Anna smiled back. "I can't believe we slept out here." She said with a yawn.
"I wish I could just plop a house down right here." Elsa giggled.
Anna untangled her arms and sat up. Her breath caught as the sun began to peak over the city. "I wish I could leave this place." Anna rested her head on her knees.
"Why?" Elsa asked sitting up.
"Why not? I don't belong here. I'm an outcast. A reject. Something people toss aside when they get bored." Anna sighed fighting back the tears that threatened her eyes.
There was only silence from Elsa. She needed to choose her words carefully right now.
"Anna. You are just lost. You haven't found your place in the world yet, but I know that you belong right here. In this moment. With me. All I see when I look at you is perfection and a strong girl who just wants people to love her and accept her. And you are loved. By me, by Derek, hell I bet Kristoff even loves you, and I know for a fact that whole school loves you. But you know what Anna?" Elsa paused to let her words sink it.
"What?" Anna whispered through her tears.
"You're parents love you to."
Anna's shoulder shook as she cried. Everything had finally caught up to her and she couldn't take it. So she sat there, with nothing more then her soft whimper to hear. Anna wished Elsa would come over and wrap her long cool arms around her and as if she heard her, Elsa did.
They sat there for what felt like hours. No words to taint the air between them just silence. But the birds had begun to sing a little while ago so really it wasn't silence. Anna's eye dried eventually and she curled up into the blond next to her.
Anna felt Elsa's phone vibrating. "Aren't you gunna answer that? It could be important."
Elsa sighed and pulled her phone. "Hello? Uhm yes, why? Mmmm one second please." She pulled the phone away from her face and covered the microphone. "Uh Anna? You're parents want to talk to you."
"What? How did they get your number? More importantly why didn't they just call me?" Anna stood up and then sat back down.
"What do you want me to tell them?" Elsa asked cautiously.
A surge of rage filled Anna's veins. "Tell them to fuck off!" She half yelled.
Elsa put the phone but up to her ear. "She, uh, is sleeping. I can have her call you later though? Okay. I'll let her know. Yupp. No problem. Okay bye."
Anna was standing up again her feet kept moving but she went no where. She ran a hand through her red hair pulling on the tangles. She fell into Elsa's lap and cried into the girls shoulder. Her legs wrapped around the blond and their bodies touched almost everywhere. Elsa kissed her neck lightly and ran her hands through the crying girls hair.
"I'm trying to cry here, stop trying to turn me on." Anna pouted.
Elsa laughed. "So noted."
Anna sniffled and sat back in Elsa's arms. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
"Why?"
"Because crying is good. It means you're alive. And that's the way I like you." Elsa wiped a tear from the girls cheek and stared up at her.
Anna pushed her face into Elsa hand. "I love the way your skin feels." Anna whispered leaning closer to Elsa.
"I love the way our hands fit perfectly together." Elsa whispered back. She brought her lips to the red heads and pulled Anna closer into the kiss.
The kiss felt to intimate, so beautiful, so blissful. Anna didn't want it to stop. And when Elsa broke away Anna whined and pressed on connecting quickly with the cool lips before Elsa shrieked and fell backwards on to Anna's legs.
"Ow..." Anna said not really in pain.
"Maybe we should head back." Elsa suggested as she pulled herself back up.
The sun sat high in the sky but the air was cool. Winter was coming. Anna could feel it. The cold nights, the little flurries of snow some days, the days becoming shorter and shorter. "Yeah I guess." She sighed.
They didn't talk as the climbed onto the dirt bike and started home. Anna slipped her arms around the blonds waist and took a deep breath. They flew down the highway, the wind rushing past them, biting their bare skin where ever it could find. Anna loved this. It felt so free, so dangerous yet safe, and she couldn't help but smile.
When they got back the door to the warehouse was open, not the little door cut into the bigger door, but the bigger door itself was open. Anna knew something wasn't right as they pulled in. Yet there were no cars, no crazy drunk people to scold them, and Derek was sitting at the bar..smiling.
"Welcome back." He said walking over when they killed the engine.
Elsa pulled her helmet off and whipped her hair, pulling it finally over one shoulder. "Hi."
Anna climbed off the back and set the back pack down with her own helmet. She looked around, but everything seemed the same. Normal almost.
"So uh, not to totally kill this whole lovey dovey vibe you guys got going on...but your parents call the bar phone and I told them to call you, Elsa." Derek scratched his head and smiled nervously.
Anna's fist clenched, her fingernails digging into her palm, she turned and walked away from them towards the stairs, towards solitude.
"Where are you going?" Derek called.
"To bathe in the blood of my enemies." Anna ferociously called back. She could hear Elsa quietly saying something but couldn't make out the words. She stomped up the stairs and rushed to her room.
It was quiet, finally, and she was all alone. Anna threw herself on her bed, her sweaty hair clung to her neck. She rolled onto her back and stared up at the ceiling. She closed her eyes and let her mind slip back to last night. To Elsa snuggled into her, to the beautiful stars and the shining moon.
Anna sighed and picked herself up to go take a shower.
When she stepped out from the hot water and into her bedroom the cold air wrapped it's self around her like a towel. She put on a pair of sweats and one of Elsa's flannels that she had taken, then headed to find her girlfriend.
Elsa was sitting on the couch in the library sipping away at a mug of coffee. "Hey babe." She smiled looking up from her coffee.
"Hey." Anna said blushing.
"We need to talk." She said her voice going stern.
"Wow, breaking up with me already?" Anna joked flopping down across from her.
"You can't get rid of me that easily." Elsa laughed.
"So whats up?" Anna was growing curious.
"You're parents called again and I talked to them for a bit." Elsa said quickly then looked down into her coffee.
Anna sighed and watched the blond. "And?"
"And..they aren't mad. They just want you back Anna, they love you so much. And they are really, really sorry." Elsa added.
Anna shook her head and rolled her eyes. "Okay." She said standing up.
"Also...they're down stairs." Elsa's voice was barely above a whisper.
"What!?" Anna shrieked. "What the fuck!"
"I gave them the address. Just talk to them Anna, please." Elsa begged and pulled herself up, setting her coffee down.
"No. What the hell Elsa? I don't want to talk to them. They don't trust me, they are full of lies and I don't want to talk to them." Anna lowered her voice just in case they could hear.
"Please." Elsa moved forward and grabbed her girlfriends arms. "Please Anna. You don't know how much I would give for my parents to have chased me down, begging for me to come home, telling me that they loved me so much, don't push them away. It will only make matters worse."
"Worse?! How can this be worse? You told them were I am, you went behind my back, I don't want to talk to them right now. So get rid of them." Anna held her ground. She was tired of doing what other people told her.
"No."
"Yes."
"Dammit Anna. Stop being so stubborn." Elsa pleaded.
"Dammit Elsa...I'm leaving." Anna said dryly.
"Wha-what?" Elsa's words stumbled off her tongue.
"You wont get rid of them. So I guess I'll leave instead." Anna shrugged. She knew she was completely overreacting but Anna didn't want to see them right now. She wouldn't know what to say. It was too soon.
"No. I'll...fine, I'll tell them to leave." Elsa's arms dropped, her eyes gave up and her body slouched.
Anna watched Elsa trot down the stairs and disappear into the large room. There were muffled voices and she heard her mother whimper and fold into her dad. Then the sound of the door opening and closing. Elsa lead out a loud uneasy sigh. Was she crying? Anna asked herself.
She willed herself to go down and check on everything. And as she climbed down she saw Elsa wrapped in Dereks big long arms. Her body was shaking, but you could only see it if you were paying attention.
Derek shot her a look, a look of hate and disappointment, of pity and sorrow, all at once. Anna's feet didn't move, instead of running to the crying girl like she should have done and begged for forgiveness, she turned and ran back up the stairs.
Anna threw herself down on her bed and willed herself not to cry. To think happy thoughts. To think of last night. But it was no use. Tears trickled down her cheeks, not for her parents, not even for how much she missed Olaf and her own bed. But because she was the only reason Elsa was crying.
It was her own fault.
Anna did the only thing she could think of... the only thing she had control of... she packed her things. Because she couldn't bare being the reason for people sorrow, for causing it, for being a horrible daughter, a horrible girlfriend, and most of all... a horrible person.
It wasn't hard to sneak out. Anna had found another exit close to her room, so she made a few trips and packed her truck with her things.
She was set and ready to go, when she felt around for her phone. She must have left it in her room, so Anna climbed back out of her truck and raced up to her now old room. The sun was starting to set and gold streaks lined the walls, and sure enough her phone was sitting on her bed..along with a beautiful blond girl.
"Don't do this." Elsa said, her voice was shaky and unstable from crying. "Please don't leave."
"I can't be the reason you cry..ever. I have to leave, don't you see? I'm no good for you, I'm no good for anyone here." Anna didn't move from the door way.
"I know what it's like to shut people out Anna. I know that you think you're no good for anyone, that where ever you go a hurricane follows, but dammit... that feeling sucks. I know, I spent three years living like that. You don't have to do this alone. Let me help you. I will never do anything like this again, I promise. Just please...please don't leave Anna. Please. I finally have you and I don't want to let that go. To let you go." Elsa was barely holding herself together, Anna could tell.
"Elsa..." Anna whispered, saying her name hurt. It hurt her heart. How someone could fall in love in such a short time, she didn't know. But she knew that she loved this girl in front of her.
Elsa held out her phone. Anna walked and took it. "I'm sorry." Anna said then turned and left.
