It had been three months. Three damn months of avoiding their situation. Three months of Anna not confronting Elsa with their problem. Now, Anna had just practically given up. Anna decided to let Elsa come to her, let Elsa decide things. If Elsa had come and told her to not forget the night, then great. Anna would be happy. But, if Elsa told her that night was a mistake or never ever confront Anna about it, Anna will just take that as a 'I regret it and hated it.' and it would be fine with Anna as well. Anna knew that Elsa needed space, she needed space to think of her decision and Anna had to respect that.
Plus, tomorrow was the last football game and the last cheerleading thing she had to do, so Anna had to place her focus on that. After tomorrow, she would be done with cheerleading for the year. She would then be able to focus on school and have a bit more free time and leeway.
So, Anna was making sure that everything was going to go accordingly tomorrow. She was calling the coaches as well as the hosts of the football game and making sure that everything was in order.
Anna leaned against her locker and smiled at Rapunzel jumping excitedly for tomorrow in her purple blouse and black pencil skirt.
"Oh my gosh! Tomorrow is the last game! Then, it's just going to be me and you and the mall girl!" Rapunzel gushed and Anna rolled her eyes before laughing at her ecstatic best friend.
"Yes, tomorrow is the last day indeed Rapunzel." Anna laughed and Rapunzel saw Hans come behind Anna and wrap his arms around her waist, turning her around and giving her a kiss straight on the lips. Rapunzel's eyes met with Hans with a cold stare and Hans let go of Anna and smiled brightly at her.
"Walk you to class?" Hans suggested and Anna smiled before nodding her head and turning to her locker, making sure she had the appropriate books. In the meantime, Hans gave Rapunzel a 'Today is the day' look. Rapunzel on the other hand, just gave him a cold look and he smirked at her. Anna closed her locker and wrapped her arms around Hans, giving Rapunzel a smile.
"I'll see you later Punzie?" Anna asked and Rapunzel nodded her head, giving out a sigh as her enthusiastic mood had dropped. Anna didn't notice, giving her best friend one last smile before walking away with Hans. Rapunzel let out a breath and leaned against Anna's locker.
Today was the day.
"So explain your glorious plan to me again?" Olaf whispered in English. Right now, they were halfway done with Romeo and Juliet. Olaf and Elsa had thought that this class, all they were going to do was focus on book to book as the teacher had said, but he changed his mind. He decided since they were the Advance Placement class that they would be advance enough to read many books at once, not finishing any of them yet. Right now, they were going through the Hamle. The teacher sat on his desk and listened to the assigned students reading their part of the scene. None of these students being Olaf, Elsa or Anna. Anna still sat in the back of the classroom, paying attention to her studies and duties and less on Elsa now. She needed to respect Elsa's time and space.
"So…I'm going to buy her a single red rose tomorrow. I'm also going to attach this letter to her, saying how sorry I am and what I realize as something she can read and keep later on as memory. I'm going to come to the football game unexpectedly and when she's done cheering and the football game is over, I'm going to go and confront her when she's by herself. From there, I'm going to give her the red rose and tell her how I feel about her. I'm going to tell her how that night was something that I will never regret and I wish happened sooner. Hopefully, she'll feel the same way back and we'll work it through from there. Simple enough right?" Olaf nodded his head in response.
"That seems cute for Anna. I think it'll work for sure." Olaf smiled and saw Elsa give out a small smile of her own. Elsa glanced at the back of the classroom to see Anna divulged into the book, her eyebrows scrunching together in confusion as to what the characters in the book were trying to say. How cute.
Elsa looked back to see Olaf giving Elsa a suggestive and teasing smirk, causing Elsa to blush a deep red.
"I know you want it." Olaf sang and Elsa shoved her face into her hands.
"Please don't…" Elsa mumbled and she heard Olaf keep whispering her the lyrics.
"But you're a good girl." Elsa placed her ears over her head, hoping she could drown out Olaf.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. But, Elsa had a silly smile on her face.
Rapunzel took a deep breath and looked around. It was afterschool and practice had finished early, Anna's excuse being that they should be prepared, warmed up and healthy for tomorrow's last game. So, the clock ticked 4:30 and Rapunzel stood there, still in her outfit this morning.
She saw Elsa sit under the tree that she sat on the first day of school. She never saw Elsa sit there in three months at all. Rapunzel slowly approached the girl, as she saw her dressed in a light blue long sleeved shirt and a pair of dark denim skinny jeans with sandals. Rapunzel saw Elsa play with her braid, a smile creeping up onto her face as she looked up into the clouds of the bright blue sky. Olaf and Kristoff weren't done with practice until 5.
Rapunzel stalked her way right to Elsa, who was still dazing into the sky. She seemed happier than usual, which was something that Rapunzel noticed. So, she cleared her throat to capture Elsa's gaze, who snapped out of her trance and looked into the blonde's green eyes. Elsa smiled.
"Hey Rapunzel? Uh can I help you with something?" Elsa asked, a bit confused as to why came here for. Something was different.
"Elsa… Anna told me about the thing that happened between you and her three months ago. That night at the party at her house." Elsa looked away and a faint blush crept upon her cheeks. Too bad Rapunzel didn't notice, or else it would have made her feel worse. Elsa nodded her head in response and looked up at Rapunzel, who gave Elsa the most sympathetic and saddest smile Elsa ever saw. Then, Elsa's heart stopped.
"Anna wanted to tell you throughout these three months that she…regretted everything about that night. She… didn't want to live in it. She thought it was torture and she wished she should have realized that sooner. She's been trying to talk to you in order to say that you'll always be that little piece of crap that nobody cares about. That in the end, even that one night when you guys were starting all over… Anna couldn't handle it. She regretted ever trying to get to know you and she regretted that night completely, wishing she never wasted her time on something as shitty as you. She also regretted ever kissing you the next morning… It was the worst mistake of her life and she realized she would never like you." Rapunzel was able to say softly and quietly to Elsa.
She looked at her expression and can only see terror, hurt and betrayal all in Elsa's features. Her once icy blue happy eyes turned to a sadder blue. It turned into a different shade of color, forming something Rapunzel had never seen before. And Rapunzel wanted to take it all back. She wanted to hug Elsa and tell her she was being blackmailed, she was being threatened. Above all, Rapunzel wanted to just tell Elsa the truth, but she couldn't. She knew that Hans was watching her, somewhere.
Elsa shook her head. No. This couldn't be happening. She felt her eyes water up for a good ten seconds as she blinked it away, trying to convince herself that this was one of them. This was Rapunzel, the girl that hated the enemy group as well. Elsa let out a breath. She couldn't believe Rapunzel, she just couldn't. She needed to see it herself, she needed real proof. But, just for the fact that Rapunzel knew about that night and being Anna's best friend made it seem that her statement was right. That it was all right in the end and Elsa should believe in Rapunzel. Maybe that was why Anna had given up on pursuing her about that night, because Elsa wasn't worth it anymore to tell. Maybe that's why she never saw Anna anymore; never saw bright and happy Anna that she had seen in the beginning of the year.
Elsa felt something wet on her cheek and she didn't notice until now that she was crying. She was crying over stupid words. Stupid words that Elsa could have tolerated any day but these words… They were just too painful to handle. She wiped the single tear with the back of her hand and looked up at Rapunzel to see the blonde give her a commiserated look. Elsa just sighed and looked down and silence filled them.
"I… I can't believe you Rapunzel. I need real proof. And… I want you to leave please." Elsa strained the please, trying so hard not to break down and trying hard to push those pessimistic thoughts away. Rapunzel looked at Elsa and nodded her head before turning on her heel and walking out into the parking lot.
Once Rapunzel had arrived and out of Elsa's sight, she was faced with a smirking Hans. Rapunzel looked at him, tears of sorrow slowly falling from her face… For Elsa. Hans just laughed evilly and grabbed Rapunzel's chin, giving her his charming smile.
"Good Girl. Now, I'll handle the rest from her." Hans let go of Rapunzel and walked away to his car, leaving an unhappy Rapunzel in the parking lot. Rapunzel watched as Hans drove away and out of the school. She looked down into the ground and whispered to herself, broken.
"What have I done?..."
Anna sat up to the ringing of her alarm clock, a smile plastered upon her face. She stretched out and looked at the clock. Today was the day! Today was the day where she would finally finish cheerleading for the rest of the year! Usually, Anna would be sad and depressed but for some reason, she was happy.
No, happy would be an understatement about how she felt as of now.
Anna jumped out of bed and searched through her closet with a smile on her face. She had already packed her cheerleading uniform and pom poms in her pink Nike duffle bag. Now, she needed an outfit for today, something she was able to change out of and into after the performance and yet surprised everyone and anyone. Anna peered into her closet and smiled. She grabbed a pair of light blue faded jeans and a royal blue t-shirt with a black sweater. This was going to be a great day! Anna just knew it.
Anna immediately changed and got ready for her day, grabbing her pancakes and kissing her parents cheeks goodbye, telling them she wouldn't be home until late at night. Once Anna had gotten into her silver Mercedes, she turned on the engine and smiled.
She couldn't wait to pick up Rapunzel, she couldn't wait for the school day to end. She couldn't wait for the cheerleading/football season to end.
And to Anna's word, she was happy throughout the entire school day and she now sat on the bus, with Rapunzel to the right of her and all her teammates dressed in their uniforms, ready to support the last football game of the season. And Anna felt a wave of relief wash through her.
"What am I going to wear? What am I going to wear!" Elsa groaned, flipping through all her clothes in her closet. Elsa was freaking out about what her attire should be to a football game. What would people's attire to a football game be? Wouldn't it be the same as a basketball game? So shouldn't Elsa wear something she would usually wear when supporting Kristoff and Olaf at their games. But, Elsa shook her head. She was going to confront Anna and give her a rose; it must be perfect and capture her attention right? Elsa grabbed a pair of ripped jean shorts and groaned, throwing it at the wall with the hanger attached to it. Kristoff popped his head into Elsa's room with a smile on his face.
"You ready Elsa?" Kristoff asked and looked around the room, his eyes widening.
"Why is this place such a mess?" Kristoff walked inside and inspected the floor. It was all littered with clean clothes. That was unusual. Kristoff saw Elsa groan, her head against the wall of her room. Kristoff just chuckled before acknowledging his best friend again.
"You know, you should really choose your outfit without making your room such a mess." Kristoff chuckled and Elsa gave out an exasperated sigh.
"I don't know what to wear Kristoff! I want to wear something that would capture Anna's attention but nothing too fancy or that will make me stand out a lot to everyone else." Elsa sighed and Kristoff nodded his head before stalking his way over to Elsa's closet. He knew his best friend well, he knew which clothes would make her stand out, which would make her look casual, and more. Kristoff flipped through Elsa's clothes before grabbing a short mid-thigh length icy blue dress that would hug Elsa's curves perfectly. Kristoff threw it at Elsa's face, who caught it just in time. He chuckled and gestured Elsa to the bathroom.
"You're welcome. Now hurry up, Olaf is starting to get his songs in his head and I know how much you hate it when he starts to sing." Kristoff chuckled and Elsa gave him a thankful smile.
Elsa grabbed the summer dress and walked towards the adjoining bathroom, slamming the door shut. He knew Elsa's plan was going to work. It was perfect and everything was in order.
All they had to do now was take action.
Elsa walked into the stadium, Kristoff paying for hers, Olaf's and his own ticket into the game. Elsa looked over to the field and smiled as she saw the cheerleaders start stretching, separating each other from different schools. Then, Elsa had noticed her and her breath was caught in her throat.
She saw Anna there, in front of all the girls preparing for their cheering and stretching them. Elsa noticed the bright green ribbon in her hair that stood out from the bright purple ones in everyone else's. It showed the whole crowd that Anna was the captain of the cheerleading squad.
Elsa watched with surprised eyes when she noticed how short Anna's shorts were. They were too short for even the dress code! They were probably as short as spankers. Elsa also noticed the white cheerleading top that Anna wore and it hugged her body perfectly. Elsa bit her bottom lip and tried to look away, but couldn't. Eventually, she felt herself trip on a crack and feel gravity take her body down. Though, before that even happened, two strong arms wrapped around her waist and picked her up. She looked to see it was Kristoff, giving her a silly smirk.
"Already falling for her when you never even took your plan in motion or talked to her?" Kristoff joked, causing Elsa to blush a bright red, making him laugh even more. Olaf pointed out seats for them, having three seats right at the top of the bleachers near the exit of the football field. Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf arrived and sat down.
Olaf had brought a bag of popcorn while Kristoff just sat there with his chin in his hand. He looked utterly bored. Elsa's center of attention was on Anna, who was preparing the cheerleaders. Once Anna had finished, she turned around to the crowd and smiled at them, looking over every single person. Finally, Anna's gaze caught on Elsa's and they stared into each other's eyes for a long lasting minute, before the announcer started to go on.
"Welcome to the football game of the century! I'm your announcer, Buddy and today we're having two of the toughest teams compete against each other to see who would bring home the gold." The announcer yelled. Elsa frowned when she saw Anna look at her cheerleaders and smile at them, telling them to get ready for their performance in the beginning.
"You know… the only reason why we're here is because of you. So we aren't going to enjoy this, just to let you know." Kristoff chuckled and Elsa rolled her eyes. Elsa looked down at the rose she bought and toyed with the petals. She couldn't wait till the whole game was over. She could already feel her adrenaline pick up and her heart beat faster than the speed of light. She was nervous, she was anxious and she was excited.
Throughout the whole football game, gazes were sent between Elsa and Anna. They just looked at each other for a brief second before Elsa was distracted by Kristoff or Olaf, Anna got distracted by her cheerleaders or the annoying announcer had butted in. Right now, the game was in the last quarter and only thirty seconds left. It was third down and their school team was three points away and twenty yards away from their touchdown. If they were able to score this touchdown, they would win. Everyone was on the edge of their seats as a time out was being called and coaches rushed their players and scribbled down things on their whiteboards. Elsa looked to her far left to see Olaf on the edge, chewing on his fingernails while Kristoff was gazing into the field, his hands clutched tightly onto the ends of the bleachers.
The end results… their school team was able to pull a clutch touchdown and win the game. Kristoff stood up and pumped his fists into the air.
"Yea buddy! Take that you pathetic dolphins!" Kristoff yelled and Elsa just rolled her eyes at him before asking teasingly.
"What happened to 'only reason why we're here is because of you'?" Elsa chuckled and saw Kristoff sit down, blushing slightly. Olaf just laughed at him.
"Give him a break Elsa. All his life is all about basketball. He never really experienced a football game until now." Olaf chuckled and Kristoff glared at them.
"First time for everything all right?" Kristoff smiled and Elsa just chuckled at her friends. Her gaze went back to the football field and she watched everyone crowd around the team, raising all the senior football players in the air. Elsa then spotted Anna, walking towards the exit of the bottom portion of the football field near them and Elsa's heart skipped a beat.
Elsa immediately stood up and hid the rose behind her, running down the bleacher stairs and at the top of the stairs Anna was heading up to. She needed to talk to Anna and this was the perfect time to, especially when she was alone and everyone else was pre-occupied with the win. Elsa finally arrived to see Anna halfway up the stairs, a good ten stairs making the distance between Elsa and Anna.
Elsa could see that Anna was shocked and frozen, not knowing what to do or say. Then, the thought of Rapunzel's words entered Elsa's head.
"She regrets that night."
And fear crowded Elsa's mind again. There was an awkward silence between them. Anna was still in her uniform while Elsa had the rose behind her back of her icy blue summer dress.
Anna didn't notice that she was staring fondly at Elsa. Anna didn't notice that no words or exchanges were between them. All Anna noticed was Elsa and it seemed like they were the only two people in the stadium. Was this how it felt like? Anna then noticed Elsa's features change into something different, which snapped Anna out of her thoughts. She then gave a smile to Elsa and responded.
"Hey Elsa." And Elsa smiled back. This was it; the plan was going to come together perfectly. It had to.
"Hey An-" Elsa noticed Hans creeping up behind Anna before wrapping his arms around her waist and spinning her around, causing Anna to giggle. Elsa's heart broke when she noticed the way Anna had a broader smile on her face. Rapunzel's words flashed through Elsa's mind.
"Regretted ever trying to get to know you and she regretted that night completely."
Elsa bit her bottom lip when she saw Hans place Anna down onto the ground. Elsa could've sworn that Anna told her she was thinking about breaking up with Hans or was iffy about their relationship? Was that just a lie?
Elsa saw Anna lean into Hans, giving him a hug and she giggled to him.
"Great job!" then Elsa heard Hans say.
"Did it all for you… with all the stress and frustration you were going through, I wanted to dedicate the game to you." Hans smiled and Anna gave her boyfriend a smile of love. Something Elsa wanted from Anna but probably couldn't get now. Hans looked in Anna's eyes and asked her a simple question.
"Do you regret it?" Hans was also looking into Elsa's eyes behind Anna, a smirk plastered onto his lips.
"Yes! Of course I regret that night silly! It was so dumb and overrated." And it broke Elsa's heart in two. This couldn't be happening. Hans just smirked at Elsa before looking back down at his girlfriend and capturing her lips into his, which Anna hesitated at first before kissing Hans back. Elsa wanted to puke. Then, Rapunzel's last words to Elsa flashed in her mind.
"Wishing she never wasted her time on something as shitty as you."
Elsa wanted to stop this feeling, this feeling of ache in her heart. She felt tears build up to her eyes and Elsa shook it away, but it wouldn't. So instead, Elsa turned around and looked up to see Kristoff there with an angry look while Olaf gave Elsa a sympathetic smile and spread his arms open. Elsa ran up the stairs, away from Anna, away from the heartbreaking scene she was seeing. She ran up the stairs as fast as her feet can carry her and ran into Olaf's open arms. Olaf felt his best friend tightly grab onto his shirt and could feel the tears already pouring into his shirt. Olaf rubbed Elsa's back and hushed the girl, as silent sobs were emitting out of Elsa's mouth. She couldn't control it… It was too much.
Elsa ripped the letter from the rose and ripped it into two before crumpling it up. She held onto it though, wanting to burn it when she got home. Wanting to forget. She dropped the rose at the spot she was with Olaf right now and cried, letting the rose rot slowly and die at the stadium, just like how she was feeling. Who was she kidding? Anna gave up on her for a reason. Anna could get anyone she fucken wanted to, why would she want a nobody like Elsa? Someone so useless, broken and troublesome. It was simple enough. Elsa should have believed in Rapunzel instead of having her heart broken right now.
It was pathetic really; pathetic that Elsa thought she was good enough. All those years of bullying, all those years of getting teased and said that she didn't belong. That she was a waste of time, a piece of shit. That no one would notice if she disappeared off the face of the Earth. Everything was probably so true. Maybe that's why her parents chose work over her, because Elsa wasn't someone to be proud of. Elsa wasn't perfect, she wasn't the perfect person. No one wanted Elsa, she was a disgrace, she was imperfect, she wasn't important. She was useless, rotten, lousy.
She was a nobody. A nobody that didn't deserve anyone's attention or love, a waste of time. A nobody that deserved to suffer. A nobody that should die right then and there. She was stubborn, she was weak and pathetic. She wouldn't be useful in anyone's eyes. She wouldn't bring happiness or joy to anyone. She was despicable… Elsa was sickening, Elsa was disgusting. Elsa was an abomination.
Maybe Olaf and Kristoff's friendship with her was out of pity. Wasn't that why throughout her childhood, no one wanted to be friends with her? Wasn't that why she was bullied on the first day of school? Because she was a pathetic weak fool, an abomination to everyone. Wasn't that why her parents left her to live on her own while they toured the world, not bringing their own daughter. Wasn't that why Anna regretted her night they spent, because Anna realized that Elsa wasn't any more different from anyone else. That Elsa was worse than everyone else, that she was a pathetic desperate fool? No one needed Elsa. She could run out of town and nobody would notice. Elsa was a stupid gullible idiot that thinks she's helpful and needed when in the end, Elsa was a dead lost, a waste of time.
"She also regretted ever kissing you the next morning… It was the worst mistake of her life and she realized she would never like you. "
Elsa grasped tightly onto Olaf's shirt, as if life had depended on it. Olaf quietly hushed Elsa before he looked at Kristoff, asking him if they could go home now. As much as Kristoff wanted to go up there and slap Anna for being an idiot, he obliged. Drama wouldn't help with any of this, and wouldn't help with Elsa's state. Kristoff nodded his head and grabbed their stuff and keys before walking out of the stadium.
Olaf sighed and placed one hand under Elsa's leg and another on the middle of her back, knowing that the moment Elsa would move her legs, her knees would give out and she would fall. Elsa was broken… She was more broken than the moment when she realized that her parents really would never come home and had actually picked their job over their daughter. She was more heartbroken than any time Olaf had ever seen in her life. Olaf picked Elsa up in bridal style and Elsa wrapped her arms around Olaf's neck before digging her face into Olaf's shoulder, more wet tears dropping onto his shoulder.
Olaf hushed Elsa, trying to give her comforting and soothing words, none of which worked.
"O-Olaf… I-it hur-rts s-so m-m-much." Elsa sobbed and Olaf rubbed the girls back while carrying her back to the car. The cheers of the crowd were still going on in the stadium but all Olaf heard was Elsa's sobs and cries. She sounded vulnerable. She sounded like she was breaking, like she was at the highest breaking point of her life.
"Where does it hurt Elsa?" Olaf murmured into his best friend's ear. Olaf watched when Elsa placed her shaky hand over her heart and Olaf felt his own heart break into two.
"M-make i-it stt-op Ola-af. I-t hurts t-too much." Elsa stuttered and cried into Olaf's shoulder, straining the last word.
He had never seen Elsa so broken before… so vulnerable. She was in worse condition now than before about her parents picking work over her. And Olaf wasn't ready for the things to come afterwards.
A/N: I suck at writing sad parts LOL. I had to look up some shit and be like "Okay is this sad enough?" And read some other shit.
Then I also forgot about how they kissed and how the summary was about Anna having a perfect life and I didn't really mention it until I read fics (Icy Kidnapper when shit went down in chapter 14 and I was like... wait didn't my characters as well? LOL well I recommend you guys read that stuff, it's soo good. But all of you guys are probably reading it already so...)
So I also had to mention that in the sad part as well and you know, ta daa, crappy unmoving sad part.
And now, I must indulge myself into school and I'll be back on Friday :)
Thanks for all your support! 3
Hehe well I hope you enjoyed ;) Review your thoughts and support!
Thanks guys!
