ELSA'S POV
Hearing about Jack and Kida going out makes me sad. Not only that, but I feel like a lot of girls have been treating me differently, and not the good kind of differently. Also, most of them are the popular girls, Kida's group. I wonder why they're being mean to me. They're not hurting me, but they're like always mean mugging me and like I just get a sort of hatred vibe off of them. I don't really know why though. It's only been a day since they've started doing this, but I can still feel how much hatred they have towards me. I wonder what I did wrong.
As I sit there in the locker rooms getting changed, one of the girls walks up to me. Her name I believe is Cinderella. She has golden hair in a bun and a lot of make up on. She smells of too much perfume and my eyes begin to water. "You're Elsa right?" she asks. I nod. "Looky here. My friend Kida is dating Jack. They're going to get to third base. They don't have room for some loser like you to interfere in their romance. So back off. If you don't, you'll be sorry." She snarled at me and then left.
The next day, I avoided Jack the best I could. Not just because they told me so, but because it hurts to see him and Kida together. It seems like he was forced to avoid me as well because at lunch, Kida dragged him to her table, away from me.
While doing my homework, I got a text from Jack:
J: Hey Els
Should I respond? I hesitate. I really have missed talking to him. But I think it's best to not talk to him. If I avoid him, I'll be able to keep him safe and maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to get over him. I don't answer. A couple of minutes later, I hear my phone ring. I don't pick up though. I just let it ring. I know I'm hurting him, and this hurts me as well, but I just can't talk to him. But then again, I have to. I don't want us to drift apart. I don't want to get hurt though. I'm already hurting now. What should I do?
J: Elsa, please pick up. Or reply. Just something. I need to talk to you.
I hesitate. I need to talk to him as well. I'm already hurting, why not hurt some more.
E: What do u need to talk about?
J: Why are you avoiding me?
E: I can't tell you
J: Why not?
E: I just can't. I'm sorry
J: Is it something that I did?
E: No, its nothing
J: Elsa, its obviously something if it is causing u to avoid me
E: Don't worry about it Jack
J: How can you tell me not to worry? I have every right to worry. U are my best friend and best friends don't avoid each other
E: Why do u care so much?
Jack took a while to respond. It was as if he didn't know how to respond. Or kept changing his answer.
J: I just do. I've missed three years of your life, I don't want to miss another.
E: Look Jack, I wish I could tell you, but I just can't
J: Please Elsa. Tell me.
E: No, I'm sorry. I think it's best if you just let it be. I'm leaving now, night Jack.
J: Elsa. I can't let it be. Please just tell me.
J: Elsa
J: Why can't you tell me?
J: I will not let this go
J: Friends are supposed to tell each other things
J: Fine, be that way. I'll find out sooner or later
After that last text, my phone stopped ringing. I wish I could tell him, but I just can't. I don't want to ruin his relationship. "I'm sorry Jack," I say to no one in particular. I laid down in my bed and went to sleep.
ANNA'S POV
I feel so bad for Elsa. When she told me about how she had to avoid Jack I tried to talk her out of it, but she sees it as the best option. She sees it as a sign telling her that it's best to get over him. But I don't think she should get over him. I just have a feeling that her and Jack are meant to be. I know Jack loves Elsa as much as she loves him. Even though he's dating someone, I still know that he loves Elsa. As I sit in bed, my phone rings and I see a text from the person I would least expect to get one from: Jack.
J: Hey Anna, are u awake?
A: Yea, why?
J: I need to ask u something
A: Ok... ask away
J: Why is Elsa avoiding me?
Should I tell him. No, that's something for him and Elsa to sort out. But then again, if I tell him the truth, then its almost certain that he and Elsa may end up together.
A: Why don't u ask Elsa?
J: I already did, she wouldn't tell me
A: Oh.
J: Yea, so do u know why?
A: Yes
J: why?
A: I don't think its my place to tell you.
J: Pls, tell me. I can't lose her.
A: Why do u want to know so badly?
J: Because I care for her, a lot.
A: That's not a good enough reason for me to tell u
J: Pls Anna. I can't lose Elsa again. I just got her back.
As I was typing, I was hesitant to send, but I just have to know the truth.
A: Jack, do you love my sister.
He took a while to respond. But eventually I got my answer.
J: Yes
J: I've loved her since 6th grade. I love her more than anything
J: Every time I think of her, I smile. Every time I see her, I lose my breath. Every time I hear her voice, I can't help listen because of how beautiful it is. I love her with all of my heart. She is the most beautiful girl in the world. The definition of perfection. She is the reason why I continue to live.
A: Ok, Romeo, no need to go into that much detail
J: Sorry
A: Let me ask you this Jack
A: If you love Elsa, then why are you dating the very person causing Elsa pain?
J: Kida is hurting Elsa?
A: Her and her posse are the reason Elsa is avoiding you. They threatened her and told her to back off or else.
J:Oh my god, I had no idea.
A: Yeah, well now you see what a jerk your girlfriend is. Its hurting Elsa trying to avoid you, but she's doing it for hers and your sake.
J: I have to break up with Kida.
A: You don't need to tell me the details, just be careful with whatever you do. I don't want any harm coming to my sister.
J: I promise, I'll protect Elsa.
A: Ok, good. Good night Jack
J: Night Anna, thx for your help.
After that conversation, I went to sleep. Please be careful Jack, don't break my sister's heart again. Don't hurt her more than you already have.
NO POV
The next day, Jack went to go break up with Kida. He did it after school so no one was around.
"Hey Kida, can we talk?" he asked. "Sure babe, what you wanna talk about," she asked as she went up close to him. "I think we should break up," instantly, Kida's face filled with anger. "Why do you want to break up?" she asked. "I just don't think we're working out. You're just moving a little too fast for me. You want things that I don't want." Jack said and he began walking off until Kida's hand grabbed him. "It's because of that Elsa girl isn't it. What do you even see in her anyways. She's just an ugly, fat, loser who has no skills at all and is practically useless." When she said this, anger filled his body. "Don't you dare speak of her that way! She is 100 times better than you! You have no right to call her ugly or fat! If anything, you just described yourself! I don't know why I ever even asked you out! I guess I fell for your act like all of the other stupid guys out there!" Jack yelled with all of my might. She had no right to talk about Elsa like that. When he spoke those words, her face filled with fear and anger. "Fine! Go sleep with that slut. You don't know what you're missing out on!" she yelled and then ran home.
Thank goodness she's out of my life. And not a moment too soon for tomorrow is Elsa's birthday. The day I'll give her the necklace. The day I'll tell her my feelings. When I got home, I immediately texted Elsa.
J: Hey Elsa, Kida can't hurt you anymore. You don't have a relationship to ruin. Her and I broke up.
I waited a while for her to respond. Luckily she did this time.
E: Oh, I'm sorry you broke up.
J: It's ok. I don't really care. I'm the one that broke up with her.
E: Oh. How did you know she was the one hurting me?
J: A little birdy told me
E: Was that little birdy Anna?
J: Maybe
E: Well, I gotta go now. I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow.
J: Yeah. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Night Els.
I put my phone away and looked at the box that was now wrapped in blue wrapping paper with sparkly snowflakes on it. I can't wait until tomorrow. As I laid there thinking about Elsa, I slowly drifted off to sleep with dreams about how tomorrow might go.
