So first, wanna say that I went through and basically spell-checked everything so it should be good. However, when I updated Chapter 6 it wasn't working and I clicked the wrong thing. I fixed it but I don't know how long it will take for it to renew since it hasn't renewed yet and it's been a while.
So sorry guys! Since I have left for a long time cuz of my busy schedule, I HAD MY LAST BAND CONCERT IT WAS DLIPPING AMAZING!
Haha, moving on now. Imma actually answer some previous reviews that were either a) really long *cough cough Snowman (jk, love you!)* b) asked a question or c) suggested something.
idontusemyaccoun: lol good for you and wow, coincidence!
Snowman: Yep-p. And congrats for coming to terms with this. Although, really? You thought too much? *face palm* and they say girls are confusing. And that seems cool, but I am going to just pretend I know what Quantum Physics are... And because she was upset and blames herself even though I haven't explained that yet and yes. Doors open people, beware. (Shocker, I had to learn this the hard way...multiple times)
DragonIceFury: lol yess! Unfortunately, I have a B in science and need to get that up so I cannot afford to miss any school :(
Livia Toric: actually, I thought of that, but, if you think about it, the lyrics wouldn't make too much sense for what is going on..
Falcon88: immature? Do you even remember middle school? I swear I'm face-palming half the time around my friends. And yeah, I'm not quite sure. Actually, an author would be more of a side thing but I definitely have an idea. And haha, that must have sucked.
Yes, yes, complications, problems, "issues," and other such things have now formed. And the more it goes on the more such things will happen...
Rose: ofcoursethebunny'sgunnalive! I mean...uh...yes, I will.
Sorry, this is kind of a short chapter, but it is very meaningful so don't feel obligated to count it out!
Kate rose the next morning, feeling very down. But, since she was sad, she had to cover up extra.
She put on a normal face as she got dressed in her uniform.
She quickly ran to the bathroom to get ready. Her contacts, she had left deserted in their holders after the events last night, so she quickly put them back in.
"I wish you would just stay out of my life!"
His words echoed in her mind.
She hugged herself, sitting cross-legged on the toilet. He really hated her. And, if he did, what's to think that Anna didn't, too?
She had decided to become someone else, to forget the pain, and everything else, she would just have to deal with it.
She sighed, getting up and finishing her makeup.
Jack woke the next morning with a headache. He had had a dream, a really good dream, that had turned into a nightmare. Elsa had been there. He couldn't remember where, how, or why, but all he knew was that she had been there.
"Elsa," he breathed as he rubbed sleep from his eyes.
"Good morning," Hiccup said.
Jack looked over. "What time is it?"
"Past time to leave." He sighed.
"Then why are you here? What happened last night?"
"You went to Kate's dorm on accident last night, got drunk again. And I don't have classes until the afternoon."
Wait. He had gotten drunk? He didn't remember a party at Flynn's, and he never "got drunk," not really...
Then he remembered everything.
How Anna and him had found out that there was nothing they could do to get Elsa back. He must have gone to drink something and overdone it...a lot.
"Crap. Kate's gunna be pissed," he muttered. He remembered how she had been able to see through his drunken act. How would she act when he actually did get drunk?
"I gotta go," he mumbled, getting up and throwing on his uniform.
He brushed his teeth, washing his face with some water.
He sighed, checking his reflection. Nothing really looked different. His eyes were still the dead that no one ever seemed to notice, his uniform was untucked and unkept, his tie was too lose for any teacher's liking, but he never cared. When he was satisfied, he walked out.
When he walked out of his dorms, he found himself wanting to skip class. He decided for it, walking to the practice rooms. It wasn't the first day he had skipped, it certainly wouldn't be the last.
He walked to the room, picking up a guitar and wondering what he should play.
He remembered being really happy, and then something had ruined it. He couldn't remember.
"Be careful what you wish for, Jack. You just might get it."
The words echoed in his mind. Someone- probably Elsa- had said that.
Before he knew it, he was picking a tune and singing.
I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
Then why do I feel this party's over?
The words just came to his mind, he hadn't even been aware that he knew this song. Sober by Pink wasn't something he listened to daily.
No pain
Inside
You're like perfection
He smiled bitterly, thinking of Elsa. He couldn't remember her face, but she had certainly grown. How old was she? His birthday was in September, hers was in December. She'd be seventeen, now. So he had missed it. Oh well, she had missed his, too.
But how do I feel this good sober?
He couldn't really remember any of the rest of the words, so he just continued to play and sing the chorus.
It felt fitting.
Kate, in the meantime, had had her class cancelled for lack of teacher, and had just been heading to her practice room.
Of course she could hear Jack singing.
I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
Then why do I feel this party's over?
She stopped, just listening. She knew he must be feeling very upset. She wondered if he remembered who she had been for just a few minutes. She hoped not. She didn't want that anymore.
Or did she?
No. It would just bring back everything she had wanted to forget.
She walked by, ignoring him.
Of course he had to be facing the door.
He caught sight of her, putting the guitar down and walking over.
"Hey Kate," he said, seeming to emphasize her name. She flinched. Did he remember?
"Uh, hello Jack," she said politely.
"Are you mad at me?" He asked, looking down.
"Mad for what, exactly?"
"Well, I'm really sorry for showing up at your dorm. I hope I didn't do anything really bad." He said, chuckling nervously and rubbing his neck.
She almost breathed a sigh of relief. "It's fine."
She felt like she was in monotone, like she was talking to a complete stranger. Although, he seemed to be backing off. Hmm.
"I have to go practice now, so please excuse me," she said, walking on.
He looked confused, but moved out of the way,
"Thank you," she said.
She walked to the practice rooms, dumping her things and sighing. She slid down the wall, resting her head on her knees.
She had to do this. It was just second nature. If she wanted to remain in her state of everything and nothing, she would have to keep this up. She almost wanted to reach out to Jack, to tell him. But even if she did, she wouldn't know how.
It wasn't something she even remembered how to do.
She sighed again, flattening the top of her bun. Everything had to happen to her.; She couldn't just have had a normal life, having fun with her sister, worrying about the future later, having fun with Jack, falling in love with him from the sidelines...
Wait, what?
Did she just admit...never mind. It didn't matter. Not anymore.
Besides, it's not like he ever saw her as anything more than his best friend, his partner in crime, his next door neighbor.
She got up, walking to the piano and playing a simple tune.
In the mean time, Anna had found a room where she could just relax and cry.
Yes, not two things that go together, but it was what she wanted to do. That and eat chocolate, loads of it, but it didn't have enough in the vending machine and she couldn't drive.
Tears littered her iPod, and she sniffled all alone. A song came on, one by her favorite singer, Plumb. She took one earbud out to listen to herself sing.
Jack picked up the guitar again, remembering a song that he had heard Anna listening to a while ago.
Kate continued the tune, making it more elaborate.
(This is a movie instance where it shows three people. In this case, Jack and Kate play the guitar and piano, and Anna and Jack sing. You should look this song up, it's called I Want You Here by Plumb, and is utterly perfect!
Bold: when we see/hear Jack Italics: when we see/hear Anna Bold and italics: when we see/hear both Jack and Anna and the occasional Kate)
An ache
So deep
That I
Can hardly breathe
This pain
Can't be imagined
Will it ever heal?
Anna's eyes closed as more tears spilled out. She sat alone, with no one to hold her as she cried. Just like it had been for three years. Why did it hurt so much more now?
Oh...ooh...
Your hand
So small
Held a strand of my hair
So strong
All I could do
Was keep believing
Was that enough?
Jack felt like crying himself. Everything was falling apart. Everything was just so unfair.
Are you still there?
I wanna scream
Is this a dream?
How could this happen
Happen to me?
This isn't fair
This nightmare
This kind of torture
I just can't bear
I want you here
I want you here
Oh...ooh...
Jack's eyes closed as he remembered Elsa. Anna's did too. They both grieved for the sister and friend they'd never see again.
I waited so long
For you to come
Then you were here
And now you're gone
I was not prepared
For you to leave me
Oh this misery
Kate sang the words in her head, for she didn't wish to sing. Singing meant emotion, and she had to be devoid of it. At least now, she did.
Are you still there?
I wanna scream
Is this a dream?
How could this happen
Happen to me?
Anna had lost everything. And everyone. How was it fair? How could everything be taken away from her in less than a second? Because of one little accident, she was completely alone.
This isn't fair
This nightmare
This kind of torture
I just can't bear
Jack had lost his wall. His standing support. Elsa had helped him through every rough patch in his family life, and he couldn't do a thing for her. He didn't even know where she was. He felt so alone.
I want you here
I want you here
Kate wanted everything back. But it wasn't that easy. Taking everything back included the pain. She had erased it, sacrificed her pain for loneliness and isolation. It was worth it in her mind, but she still wanted Anna and Jack by her side. She had pushed them away, it was her fault that they hated her. She couldn't blame them. It was her fault for everything.
God help me
God help me
God help me
Breathe
I wanna scream
Is this a dream?
How could this happen
Happen to me?
This isn't fair
This nightmare
This kind of torture
I just can't bear
I want you here
I want you here
Oh...ooh...
Kate closed her eyes, her fingers knowing where to go. She sighed and sang the last stanza out loud.
An ache
So deep
That I
Can hardly breathe...
All three of them collapsed then, Anna in tears, Jack in defeat, and Kate in acceptance for everything she had to give up.
For reviews, since I had so many (this makes me happy) I am only going to answer the same ideal as the answers in the first A/N. Sorry!
Falcon88: I know. He just has to go ruin everything. *sigh* at least it wasn't Kate/Elsa this time, right? And hmm, never...actually, uh, saw that movie, ahem, but I'll look it up^-^
frozen fan2014: don't worry, she frustrates everyone ;P
94monkeystogo: haha, the whole reason I said ~quote~ ignore the dramatic-ness (is that a word? Oh well) of title for time being ~unquote~ and I'm glad. Yeah, this is mainly a drama story...
DragonIceFury: haha, Pearl... Oh, you have no idea what I mean. Well, the whole reason for 'Pearlness' is because I'm such a Dory and need something easy to remember, and my sweet Golden Retriever's name is Pearl and Pearlness is one of many nicknames I have for her :) and thanks!
shobbs10: oh God no! And cuz he was angry and sad, (and let's not forget, freaking drunk!) so there ya go...
Snowman: again: and you say you're not a writer! Lol and I like your 'I'm gunna go stare at the wall now' thingy, and yes. No Hope Zone. Totally accurate.
Michelle-Lee: lol thank you. and no, I am not gunna have her cut her hair, sorry. I am quite fond of long hair... Weirdness for the day...
Okk, until next chapter!
