Leavin It On The Ice ch. 21
Anna's POV
I'm laying on my bed, staring up at my ceiling as Tiana is helping Meg with her Geometry homework and I couldn't stop thinking about what happened yesterday with Hans and Elsa at the ice rink. My ex was so desperate to getting back together with me that he thought up this stupid contest to get rid of the hockey player and uses me as a way to get her to agree to it but changed his mind at the last mind then disowned afterwards.
Then Elsa thought that it would be a good idea to try and help him which is to be expected because she has a heart but it's so crazy and I know that I shouldn't be feeling sorry for him after everything because karma is coming back to bite him in the butt. I just feel bad that now that Hans has no one to turn to and will have to drop out of school, being turned out onto the street with only an eleventh grade education. Now there's the hockey player as she saved me from my horrible ex and made sure that I was okay afterwards by walking me back to my room and staying with me for a little while being the sweet person that I have always known her to be. A huge grin makes it onto my grin as I hold my pillow tighter against my chest and holding back a squeal from escaping my lips but some of it comes, attaching the attention of the others.
"You okay over there, Cap?" Meg asked raising an eyebrow.
"Y-Yeah, I'm okay. Just thinking, is all" I said laughing nervously.
"About what exactly?" Tiana asked curious.
"More like who. She's thinking about her boo-thang Elsa" Meg said wriggling her eyebrow suggestively.
"W-What?! B-Boo-thang? It's not like that" I said shaking my head.
"Gurl please, I heard that you and Elsa was all cuddled on your bed yesterday" Meg teased.
"Tiana! You told her that!" I whined.
"Sorry, I didn't know that it was a secret but you two were pretty cute together" Tiana said smiling.
"Ewww you were hugged with the freak" Ariel said scrunching her nose up in disgust.
"Shut up Ariel, nobody asked for your opinion and Elsa's not a freak" I said throwing my pillow at her.
"Look Anna, I don't care that you like girls and stuff but couldn't you hook up with someone that's so low on the totem pole" Ariel said frowning.
"Elsa's an athlete and a very good one for your information. She won the first game for the hockey team so she's not low on the totem pole and why am I explaining myself to you when you don't even have a girlfriend, let alone a boyfriend" I said huffing out my chest.
"I'm just-"
A knock on the door cuts off Ariel and I'm glad that it did as I got up to answer it to see Elsa wearing her new letterman's jacket, making her look rather dashing if I do say so myself with a bouquet of red and purple lilies in her hands. The hockey players at me shyly with a blush evident on her face making more adorable then usual as she holds out the flowers towards me.
"For me?" I asked.
"Y-Yeah, I just wanted to c-check up on up before I went to practice and I remembered you telling me how much you liked lilies so I thought that I would get you some" Elsa said nervously.
A chorus of 'awwws' are heard behind as I looked over my shoulders to see that the girls were watching us as I glared at them but it didn't have the intended effect that I wanted as they continued to watch us. The jerks. I turned my attention back to Elsa as I take the flowers from her with a grateful smile because none of the guys that I have date never brought me flowers just for the sake of it but she did and was checking up on me for the second time today.
The first being this morning and now before she goes to practice and I couldn't help but feel special and loved as the hockey player is making me feel right at this moment and before I knew it, I found myself kissing her on the cheek. Elsa looks at me with a shocked look on her face as her porcelain cheeks turn a bright red as she sputters a string of unintelligible babbling causing me to giggle a little as I set my flowers down on my nightstand before pulling her into a hug.
"Thank you for the flowers and checking up on me… again. It's really sweet of you, Elsa" I said smiling.
"N-No problem"
"No, I meant it. It's really sweet of you Elsa and I don't know what I would do without you"
"I'm sure that you be just fine to be honest" Elsa said with a self-decapitating laugh.
"Elsa, that wasn't very funny. You're my friend and I need you in my life so don't think otherwise" I said cupping her cheek firmly.
Elsa looks at me for a moment before smiling a little as she takes my hand on hers, placing a chaste kiss on the back of it then pulling me into another hug but before I could return it, she leaves as she look at me with the look in her eyes that sends shivers down my spine. W-What was that? I never felt like that when I'm around Elsa. It-It was p-probably n-nothing. Oh goodness, I'm s-stuttering. Stop Anna, just stop. I closed the door and turned to see Tiana and Meg looking at me like the know something that I don't as Ariel looks at me with a disgusted look on her face but I couldn't bring myself to truly care then the brunette walks over towards me as puts both hands on my shoulders.
"Anna" Meg said in a serious tone.
"Y-Yes M-Meg" I said nervously
"There comes a time in every girl's life when she gets feelings for a certain someone and this feeling will give you a tingling in your snatch" Meg said smirking.
"In my what?" I asked furrowing my eyebrow together in confusion.
"In lay man's terms, your pussy" Ariel chimes in.
My face turns a bright red color as I cover my eyes to prevent myself from listening to Meg try to give me the talk because I already went through this with my parents and there's no way that I'm doing it again with her. There's no telling what the Greek might tell or how graphic it will and I don't want to be scarred for life or make things awkward between Elsa and myself. I can hear the muffled laughing of Ariel and Tiana as Meg pulls my hand away from my ear before slapping something in my hand as I looked to see that it's square foil package and I instantly knew that it was a condom. I dripped it on the ground like it had burnt my skin as the Greek looks at me with a raised eyebrow on her face before picking up the condom.
"M-Meg, why are you giving me a condom?" I asked confused.
"Why else would I give you a condom? To avoid getting pregnant or an STD, Bambi. I want to make sure that you're being safe and I'm sure that you know how and where babies are made"
"I do but-"
"No buts. I know that you're not gonna let someone pressure you into having sex but I'd feel better know that you had it incase you thought that you were ready" Meg said putting the condom in my hand" Meg said putting the condom in my hand.
"She has a point, Anna. It's better to be safe than sorry" Tiana agrees.
"I guess that you're right" I said putting the condom in my back pocket.
"Yeah, you don't want to be in my shoes" Ariel said looking down at her feet.
"What you do mean, Ariel?" I asked.
No response but it seems to click for Meg and Tiana as they slapped their hands against their foreheads as I look in-between the two of them then it slowly dawned on me what she meant. Oh no. I walked over towards the swimmer who sitting against the bottom of Tiana's bedpost on the verge of tears, taking the girl in my arms as I rubbed soothing circles into her back as she holds onto me like I was her last lifeline.
"Do you… do you know who the father is?" I asked.
"Yeah, I've fooling around with Eric for awhile now and I found out that I was pregnant few days ago when I missed my period last month" Ariel said fearful.
"Does he know about the baby? Did you tell him?" Tiana asked sitting next to Ariel.
"He wouldn't believe me even if I told him" Ariel said tearfully.
"Then we'll just make him believe it" Meg said cracking her knuckles.
"Meg, now isn't the time for violence" I said looking up at her.
"That bastard needs to step up and take care of his baby" Meg said frowning.
"I agree with you but Ariel needs the support of her friends right now and you beating up Eric won't do her any good" I said
"Fine as long as I get to beat his ass with my butter sock" Meg said crossing her arms
"Butter sock? Seriously Meg" Ariel said letting out a shaky laugh
"What? That shit is more effective than you think it is" Meg said smirking.
"You're so stupid but thanks guys, I appreciate you being here right now" Ariel said wiping her tears away.
"Of course, we're friends and we'll always be there when you need us" I said hugging her. "But you're gonna have to tell Eric about the baby"
"I know I do but I' just… I'm just afraid that he'll think I'm just trying to pin the baby on him because I don't really know the father is, you know" Ariel said sadly.
"Would it make you feel better if we went with you go talk to him?" Tiana offers.
"Would you?" Ariel asked hopefully.
"Of course" I said smiling.
"I'll bring the butter sock with me" Meg said smirking.
We laughed even though I think that she was serious about the butter sock and I'm a little afraid of what she might do with it to Eric if he denies that the baby is his, making hope that he doesn't for his health. This situation is crazy and it makes think of what would I do if I was in Ariel's situation with the guy that was having sex with.
Would he deny the baby and call me a liar? Or would he step up and be a man about it? What will my parents think when they find out? What will my classmates think when they find out? Will they treat me differently than they do now? What will Elsa think of me? Will she treat me different? Will she stick around and side by me in my time of need when I need her the most? Or will she leave me to fend for myself?
I couldn't imagine what I would do if she decided to walk out of my life when I needed a friend to support me or what she would said to me when she finds out. It's scary to be pregnant at sixteen with the possibility of everyone turning their backs on me and I can't imagine what's going through Ariel's head but I'm going to do the best by her, bring the friend that she needs right now.
