I think this could quite be my longest chapter now. HOORAY I FINALLY MADE A SEMI LONG CHAPTER! So yeah, ummm if you've already read this chapter, read it again because I added stuff. Sorry for the inconvenience it's just I forgot a part that I originally had in my mind and forgot to put it the first time so...yup. Enjoy!
Chapter 7
JACK'S POV
The rest of English was so boring. I didn't see Elsa for the rest of the day. I really wanted to ask her about what she said earlier. I didn't think that I would be able to until I ended up seeing her after school. I saw her at her locker. She was once again putting things in it and taking some binders and journals out. She looked so beautiful and graceful.
"Hey Elsa, " I began when I got to her. "Yes Jack?" She asked while she closed her locker. We began walking out of school and home. "So I have a question that I want to ask you." I said as I rubbed the back of my neck. She stopped and looked at me. We stood in the front of the school with many beautiful trees around us, but the only thing I saw was Elsa. I saw her eyes and her face and her cute little nose. "What do you want to ask me?" She asked as she continued looking up at me. "Well, earlier when we were talking in English, you said you loved me." I stated. "Oh," was all she said. She looked down and I swore I could see blush creep up on her face. "What did you mean by it?" I asked, hoping she would feel the same way about me. She was silent for a second as if she was thinking about what she meant. Does she like me? Please, please, please love me back. She then broke the silence.
"Well, I guess I meant as a friend. I mean I've loved you since 6th grade. Of course it was more of a brother or best friend kind of love." Hearing that broke my heart. "Oh," was all I could say. She could probably hear my disappointment in my voice, but I don't care. I guess she doesn't love me back.
"Jack," she began again. "Hm." "You said that you loved me too, do you love me in the same way?" I want to tell her that I love her as more than a friend, but that might just ruin our newly formed friendship. "Ummmm, yeah I love you as a friend as well." I said trying to hold back my tears from my heartbreak. "Oh, " she said. She sounded a bit disappointed, but it must just be my imagination. "Well, umm, bye." She said as she walked away. "Bye, " I said. And then we went our separate ways.
ELSA'S POV
Jack and I didn't see each other until after school when he came up to my locker. "Hey, Elsa," he said. "Yes Jack?" I replied. "So, I have a question that I want to ask you," he said as he nervously rubbed his neck. He looks so cute when he's nervous. Wait scratch that, you cannot have feelings for him. It'll just hurt you if you hurt him. "What do you want to ask me?" I ask. I'm a bit curious as to what he could possibly want to ask me. If he asks me out I will be so happy, but would I say yes, or should I say no to keep him safe? "Well, earlier when we were talking in English, you said you loved me." "Oh, " was all I could say. Dang it Elsa! You're so stupid. I can't believe I actually said that to him. I looked down to hide my embarrassment. "What did you mean by it?" Oh god, what did I mean by it. I do love him as more than a friend, I have since 6th grade and I have continued to even though I said that I hated him. What should I say? I can't tell him that I love him. I can't let people in. It's for his own good. "Well, I guess I meant as a friend. I mean, I've loved you since 6th grade. Of course it was more of a brother or best friend kind of love." Only part of that is a lie, so I don't feel fully guilty. "Oh, " was all he said. He sounded disappointed which made me wonder whether or not he likes me. Earlier he said that he loved me too. Wait, does that mean he shares the same feelings I do?
"Jack, you said that you loved me too. Do you love me in the same way?" Honestly, I hope he loves me as more than a friend. But even if he did, I couldn't be with him. I would just put him in harm. He probably doesn't love me like that anyways. "Ummmmm, yeah, I love you as a friend as well." Although hearing this broke my heart, it's a good thing. That means that I'm not putting him in harms way. However, I feel like I want to cry. My chest is swelling with emotions and if I don't get out of here my powers are going to go out of control. "Well, umm, bye." I said and walked away. When I got home, I went up to my room and cried. My heart aches so much. I shouldn't be sad over this, but I am. Why am I crying so much? Did I really love him that much to cry over the fact that he doesn't love me the same way. I need to get a hold of my emotions. Conceal, don't feel. Don't feel. Don't feel.
After their friendship was rekindled, Jack began hanging out with Elsa's group. He left his old group, but kept those really close to him like Bunny and Tooth. Jack's and Elsa's relationship was going really well. They would talk everyday and would share many laughs and conversations. Sometimes they would mess with each other and playfully bully each other, but they knew that it was all fun and games. They talked about their songs for music and helped each other to perfect them. Christmas was coming soon along with both Elsa's and Jack's birthdays. As the days flew by, Elsa and Jack became closer and closer. So close that they now consider each other best friends again. However, will that continue to last? Will their relationship grow? Or will something tear them apart. I guess we'll have to see.
ELSA'S POV
The day has finally come where we present our original songs in music today. I'm so excited yet nervous. I hope she likes my song. It's not really good, but hopefully it'll do. I'm excited to hear Jack's song as well. Sure we worked on them together, but I haven't heard his full song and he hasn't heard mine. Mrs. S doesn't hesitate to begin with the performances. Rapunzel goes first with her song "When Will My Life Begin?"
"This song represents my life because for a while, my life seemed very monotonous. I have over-protective parents who wouldn't really let me go outside and have any fun, so I would end up doing the same thing at home everyday. Eventually they let me out and my life changed from there. But here is my song titled 'When Will My Life Begin'"
The music starts and Punzie begins singing. You can tell that she will get extra points for her voice. It's incredibly beautiful.
7 am the usual morning lineup
Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean,
Polish and wax, do the laundry, and mop and shine up
Sweep again and by then it's like 7:15
[Music Break}
And so I'll read a book or maybe two or three.
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
I'll play guitar and knit and cook and basically just wonder when will my life begin?
Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking
Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess
Pottery and ventriloquy, candy making
Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch
Take a climb, sew a dress!
And I'll reread the books if I have time to spare.
I'll paint the walls some more, I'm sure there's room somewhere.
And then I'll brush and brush and brush and brush my hair
Stuck in the same place I've always been.
And I'll keep wonderin' and wonderin' and wonderin' and wonderin'
When will my life begin?
Tomorrow night the lights will appear
Just like they do on my birthday each year
What is it like out there where they glow
Now that I'm older, mother might just let me go.
And then she finished. It was such a beautiful and upbeat song. I don't know how I will be able to top that. It's not like it's a competition, but Punzie's song is probably going to make everyone else's seem like nothing. Mrs.S calls my name. "Elsa Winters, your turn." I walk up to the front.
"This song represents my life and how I feel. It represents me letting all of my emotions out and how I once felt trapped. It also represents my childhood. I had strict parents and didn't feel like I had anyone to tell my problems to, so I kept all of my emotions and thoughts in and now, I am able to let them out and roam free. I titled it 'Let it go'" Even though part of my description is true, the real inspiration behind it is my powers. When I was younger, I was told to conceal my powers because I had no control over them, but now that I do, it's like I am free and can now express myself. Only Jack knows the real reason behind it. I look at the class and I become nervous, but then I see Jack and it's like all of my worries disappear. I feel warm inside and that warmth inspires me. I suddenly don't feel so nervous. I'm ready. I take a deep breath in and then the music starts.
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like,
I'm the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside.
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried.
Don't let them in. Don't let them see.
Be the good girl you always have to be.
Conceal don't feel, don't let them know
Well now they know!
Let it go! Let it go!
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go! Let it go!
Turn away and slam the door!
I don't care what they're going to say.
Let the storm rage on.
The cold never bothered me anyway.
[Music Break]
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small.
And the fears that once controlled me,
Can't get to me at all.
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through.
No right, no wrong, no rules for me.
I'm free!
Let it go! Let it go!
I'm one with the wind and sky
Let it go! Let it go!
You'll never see me cry.
And here I'll stand
And here I'll stay.
Let the storm rage on
[Music Break]
My power flurries through the air into the ground.
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around.
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast.
I'm never going back
The past is in the past!
Let it go! Let it go!
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go! Let it go!
That perfect girl is gone.
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on!
The cold never bothered me anyway.
The music ended and I'm out of breath. I hope she liked it. I look at the class and just see everyone staring at me. I can't tell whether they like it or not. They all seem like shocked. Then all of a sudden I hear someone clapping. I look to where the noise is coming from and see Jack. Jack is clapping and smiling. Then everyone begins clapping and smiling and I hear murmurs about how good it was and how beautiful my voice is. From the looks of it, it seems like they liked it. I smiled and went to my seat. I feel so alive. So free. I just let it go.
Just want to say as a disclaimer that I don't own the songs. However, I kind of wish I would've made them a duet. Maybe I'll do that in another chapter. I really like "I see the light" from tangled. Perhaps I'll use that later. Well anyways, hope you liked it. I'm still thinking of Jack's song, so if you have any ideas, please just let me know. Also, if you have an idea and leave it in a review, can you maybe choose like a song that you think would describe his life and put why the song would be good. I promise to give you credit. Also, it could also be a song for Elsa. Like what do you think Jack Frost would sing to Elsa? Please help! Anyways, thanks for reading and well...bye.
