So this first part is something I just felt like writing. It is a small lemon with Anna by herself and I just felt like writing it. It's nothing great but I like it, so disclaimer for this chapter. Also, if you don't know the referenced song, I really encourage you to look it up to get a better picture.
This chapter is a bit longer than the others by the way.
It was one of those rare and boring work days at the restaurant after school today. They had ten customers in total for the night. Anna's mother had gone home an hour and a half ago and they were starting to close up for the night. All of her friends had left and Anna managed to convince everyone else to stay behind for something really important she needed to tell them.
Okay, just calm down and breath. It's just like when you told your friends. Well these guys are my friends too, but they like friends I work with. No, what that doesn't make sense how about this, there friends that are older and don't know I'm gay. Yah, that's sounds long and stupid but it works for now.
Anna was pacing around her moms office like the day when she performed for the first time, only this time she was freaking out even more. Like her friends, she had known everyone she worked with almost her entire life. Would they accept her as fast as her friends did? Would there be ones that accept her and ones that don't. Would it be a huge fight? What if it was a big fight and the police had to get called?. Oh damn it, there going to accept me right? Stop worrying. What if they don't? Anna's eyes went wide and her pace across the room increased. She started twirling one of the ends of her pigtails. What if they tell mom and she gets mad or doesn't accept me either? That would end everything and I would be more than crushed more than anything.
Anna held back tears and fanned herself as she felt sweat form on her forehead. You know what. I'm just going to do this and what happens, happens. Hopefully nothing bad. NO, nothing bad will happen. That's right, nothing will. She finally sat down in the desk chair with her arm on the arm rest and leaned her head against her standing arm. She started spinning in the chair and let her mind wonder to try and relax herself. After awhile she picked up the picture of her and her father.
"I wish you were still here. This wouldn't be so hard if you could give some extra words of encouragement. God would you be proud of the catch I have though. She's spunky, exciting, and just as fiery as me, aside from being more...ugh...sexual than me I guess." Anna thought for a minute and decided to reword what she said, incase her father was looking down on her with a confused, but warm look. "Well I actually I stare more at her, and it's not a secret. I like to goggle at her and sometimes at my other friends but so what, they can deal with." She giggled.
She started talking as if her father were right there in front of her. "Going on she actually is more...uhm...actually what would you call. I'm guessing here but, no, let's say she just says more sexual things that just really...get to, uh make me, uh turn me on." She felt small tingly sensation run through her body.
"To be honest too I think that's something she has thing for as well. Every time she does I trip over my words and get beat red and she seems to go even further making all kinds of remarks about what she does in the shower, what she does alone, how she uses a vibrating toothbrush." As she continued to reminisce about Merida's behavior she started to feel her cheeks burn and feel a strong pulse in her neck.
If her dad really were there with her things would've gotten really awkward as Anna's hand circled around the button on her jeans.
She thought for a second and wondered if her mother and father said anything like that. Immediately a very raunchy and grotesque flash image of her parents having sex flashed through her head. The hot feeling dropped and she her daydreaming was stopped as she tried to shake the image from head.
Oh shit what the hell is wrong me. Eww. So fucking gross. She got chills down her spine that the went through her entire body, replacing the small tingling sensation.
Putting down the picture she got up and she shook her head to get rid of the image that was plastered to her brain. Sometimes my mind wonder's a little to much. She went over to the TV and turned it flipping through the channels to find something of interest.
This is what Netflix is for damn it, almost nothing good on. News. news, news, hey look news about Hollywood. Ugh. History channel, boring, unless it's Monster Quest. Nope, Nope, MTV, nah. FX, usually really crappy movies. Lets see cartoons, later tonight when I'm eating dinner or 'doing homework' that will probably go undone till one, when I get myself to finally do it.
She continued to flip through the channels to see what was on, which was nothing. Eventually she got to the point were there would only be a flash of what was on, because she was clicking the buttons on the TV so fast. She finally realized nothing was going to turn up so she decided to go on the computer and watch YouTube.
Alright what am I going to look up today. Hmmm...lets make it a music video I haven't seen yet, which is still a lot. Thinking of what ones she hasn't seen yet, which were a lot, she decided to just hit shuffle on her Ipod and see what comes up. She hit shuffle and the song that came up was Destination Calabria by Alex Gaudino that featured Crystal Waters.
Cool. This song is pretty good song with a nice sax hook and DJ like melody.
She typed in the name and waited for the videos to come up. "Whoa uhm, I...I think this is it." The thumbnail for the video was a picture of a woman sitting a bra and lacy underwear with a trumpet in her hands pointing down. In true curiosity, Anna clicked the video and waited for the video to load.
The video started with a zoom in a saxophone and then the with the electronic bass coming in. "Destination unknown, known known known known." A very hot looking woman started to play the saxophone that was zoomed in on before. But what she wore was a very short black mini skirt with a green thong and green button down shirt that only covered half of her waste, with a black marching band hat at to complete the outfit
The way she played the saxophone and different camera angles were also very erotic. With swaying her hips and the camera focusing on the woman's ass Anna was captivated and could not move any part of her body.
"I left my job, my boss, my car, and my home. I'm leavin for a destination I don't know. Somewhere nobody must have beauties at all. And if you like us you can so lets go." Unknowingly Anna's hand slowly made it's way to the hem of her pants, and started to circle around the button. The video contained a whole bunch of very attractive woman in the skimpy marching band out fit, moving and playing there instruments very erotically. "Follow me. And lets go! To the place where we belong. An leave our troubles at home. Come with me, we can go. to a paradise of and joy. A destination unknown."
The tingling sensation from before came back only this time more intense. Anna could feel an itch in her groan. But that soon turned into burning sensation that begged for something that she was completely new to her. Anna was able to tear her eyes away from the screen for half a second, only to look down and to see her hand beneath her unbuttoned and unzipped pants. She could feel the fabric of her underwear on her fingers and when she touched it, there was a small wet spot where her middle finger rested. Her mind was blank as she brought her head back to the screen, only to the woman do more eye catching hip swaying and close ups of there asses, in which they still only wore thongs.
"Now I won't feel those heavy shoulders no more. My life got better and I finally enjoy. Yes all the people wanna some her and so. Come on and join us, you can do that now. Lets go, follow me and lets go!" Looking down again Anna saw and felt the wet spot on her underwear get bigger. She felt as if the heat had been turned up to ninety degrees. Her cheeks burned and her heart beat was in her throat.
In a total trans she pressed her middle finger into the moist spot on her underwear. Almost instantly the amount of pleasure that erupted from that one touch caused her to take a loud deep breath in. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and her eyelids shut only to see the erotic moves of the woman in the video. Running on pure lust she pressed even harder, feeling her middle finger slip deeper between the folds of her wet sex. Her breathing became shaky and she leaned back into the chair unconsciously spreading her legs.
"Destination unknown."
She slowly and nervously moved her finger up and down the folds her wet slit, letting the juices soak through her underwear and coat her middle finger. Her back started to arch as she drifted further down into the chair. With here eyes closed she now saw Merida in the erotic outfit, who was also swaying her hips, letting the movement cause the skirt to reveal her nice curved, and round ass. Her mind went back to the self conversation she had about Merida's alone time.
The movement of her finger become faster, covering her entire finger in her juices and soaking her underwear. Her moans became breathy and long. Her breathing, shaky and shortened. Sliding her finger to now go along her entire slit she reached a point where, once touched, it nearly caused her to yell out in pleasure. She brought her other hand up and squeezed her left breast, causing even more arousal.
This being her first time touching herself she didn't know her clitoris was the most sensitive, and most pleasure spot. Merida always said it was where she would explode with ecstasy. But she never mentioned the place it was hidden.
Anna continued to rub her clit unknowingly, but pleasurable, finding out what was causing it to be such a great and titillating feeling.
Her moans were now louder and her left hand moved down to her underwear only to find it not there.
Opening up her eyes she her pants and underwear around her knees saw, her labia glistening with juices. For a moment she just looked at her in awe, bringing her wet finger to her face smelling the sweet aroma of her juices.
Not wanting to stop touching herself she slowly brought her right hand back down to her exposed and glistening sex. Using her middle finger again she touched her exposed clit.
The jolt of pure release that came from the touch caused her to sit up immediately and howl out. With her mouth agape she pressed harder and rubbed her clit. Biting her lower lip she gradually got faster and faster, her left hand pushed her pants and underwear down to her ankles.
Bringing it back up she was now sliding up down the folds of her dripping labia with her left hand. Coating her fingers in her juices and eliciting more moans and now squeals of ecstasy.
Her middle finger was moving incredible fast, causing her body to twitch and roll in the chair. The movement in the old chair caused it to squeak, making Anna move both her hands faster. She could hear the sounds her labia made when more juices rushed out, covering the fingers of her left hand. Her breathing was becoming hitched. She was nearly about to scream with release but then there was a sudden knock at the door, and her hands and body shot up.
SHIT! She quickly pulled up her underwear and pants. She re-buttoned her pants and zipped them up. "Come in." She said. Her face was completely flustered and her hands were covered in her pleasure, not knowing what to wipe them she hid them behind her back, feeling the slippery juices on her hands as she put them together. Letting her fingers roll and twist around. Stop it, stupid hands.
The door opened and Olaf walked in. "Hey Anna what you up to."
"Oh nothing." As far as you know.
"What's behind your back?"
"N...nothing. Just standing here, like a young lady should." She hoped he would ask something else.
He gasped, "Is it a present for me. My birthday was yesterday, and you got me another present. Let me see." He raced over behind the desk.
Her eyes went wide and she turned as her came behind the desk. "It's not a present Olaf?" Her heart raced as she pleaded for him to stop.
"Come ooooon. Let me open it" He complained.
"It's nothing for you, please stop." She was running out of time, as Olaf was much faster than her. "Why did you come down here Olaf." Please work.
"Oh yah, we were wondering when you were going to come out and tell us the big news or new info you were going to give us. It's been like twenty minutes but I'm sure you have a good excuse." He laughed nasally.
It's a good one! "I'm sorry. I got...distracted with something and I just lost track of time."
"Well okay. Are done with everything in here then." He said innocently.
"I was about to be, I think" She said snugly.
"Oh do you need more time because I could tell them that." He cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted. "Hey guys she still needs more time."
"Nonononono, I'm fine, I'm fine. Just let me do something first, okay?"
"Sure. I'll be waiting right here."
"Uhm...could you maybe wait outside, please Olaf."
"Yah. I'll be just out that door." He casually walked back to the door and closed it.
Once closed Anna brought her now sticky hands, out in front of her and raced around the room to find something to wipe them on. Eventually she wiped on her pants and found hand sanitizer to get rid of the stickiness.
Opening the door, "You ready Olaf."
"You betcha, Anna. Lets go tell everyone the big news. What ever it is." She laughed and walked into the dinning area.
"So I be you're all wondering what I have to say huh." Anna said a little nervously.
"Yes we do and hopefully it's good." Belle said sweetly.
"Yes indeed, please tell us Anna." Oaken said.
"Sweet heart we are very excited to her what you have to say." Gerda said.
"Thank you." She stopped for a second and thought to get the right words she wanted. "You all know that I've been kind of adamant about not dating anyone."
"Yes ma chérie. Every time someone from rouge team, you get a little en colére." Lumeire said
"Man you don't know the half of it." Tiana quickly followed up with.
"Half of what?" Olaf said, with a confused look.
"What she meant was that Lumiere only knows so much." Kai explained.
"So much of what?" Olaf said. Every shook there head and smiled and Olaf blushed knowing he did something to get this reaction.
"We'll explain it later, yes." Oaken asked.
"Sure, I'm getting a ride home from you anyway."
"Excusez-moi, but can we get back to what Anna was saying, plaire?"
Everyone refocused at Anna who had been giggling at Olaf's fuzziness on some things. "Thank you Lumiere." She cleared her threat. "Well uhm, I decided weeks ago that I would give dating a shot, and I'd say that I'm now in a great relationship."
"Oh my god that's great Anna." Belle and Tiana both raced up to Anna and hugged her.
"That's amazing Anna." Olaf jumped up in the air with excitement. He skipped over to Anna and gave her the biggest warm hug ever.
Kai and Gerda both said congratulated her and Oaken hugged her. Everything was great.
"Excellent, cher. Who's this fine messieur."
"Yah, is he handsome?" Tiana winked.
"Is he good to you?" Gerda said
"Is he as amazing as you?" Olaf happily yelled out.
"Actually that's what I wanted to talk about." Before anyone could say anything Anna quickly followed up with, "It's nothing bad, at least I hope so."
"Well tell us sweetheart. Are you two...you know."
"No, we are not having sex, but uhm..." She felt her heart start racing and sweat started to form on her forehead.
"Then what's wrong." Kai said.
"Anna, tell us plaire." Lumiere said softly.
Her mouth was dry and it felt as if she were being questioned by a jury of people in which she knew everyone in it. She ran her hand through her hair and took a deep breath. You can do this. "I don't have a boyfriend."
Everyone got a confused look on there face. "I'm sorry, what do you mean?" Belle said, still smiling.
"So your just still dating him." Tiana said.
"Well what's the problem then." Oaken said furrowing a brow.
"It's not a guy." She said softly.
"What?" Some of them said.
"It's not a guy." The confused look they all had deepened and before anyone else could ask another question Anna took a deep breath finally said, "I'm gay, and I have a girlfriend."
The room fell silent. The only sound was the light hum of the heating system. It was so silent Anna's ears started to ring.
The confused look from the there faces dropped as the words settled in. Nobody was saying anything anymore and Anna felt as if she was standing in front of the same jury that was now going to give there verdict.
She looked at there faces and saw no emotions she could read. She felt alone in the building even though they sat right in front of her. She didn't want to but, small tears fell down her cheeks. If this is what non acceptance feels like, it was worse than anything else. Her heart dropped as no one did anything. Her eyes went from person to person but still nothing.
At least she could say she told them.
What she wanted to do now was run out the door and break down crying. She was about to get up and walk out the door when Lumiere got up from his seat and walked over to Anna. He kneeled down to look Anna straight in the eyes. He put his hand on he should and brought in for a tight, warm, and loving hug. She hugged back and closed her eyes, only to feel another set of arms wrap around her and then another and then another, until she knew everyone was around her.
"Ma chérie, we all sorry it took this long for us but we more than glad to hear this." His kind and gentle voice was followed by everyone telling the same thing.
She finally cried, but out of happiness knowing everybody that she asked to stay had accepted her for who she was, and the melancholic feeling lifted and she felt great. "Thank you." She barely managed to squeak out. "Thank you all for accepting me."
Lumiere pulled away and everybody else did the same. "Anna on behalf of all of us, and in my best English," everyone laughed softly, "that we are more than happy, and...very proud of you for telling us. Telling us was...the right thing to do and really...mature of you. We are all happy for you and for us to not accept you, would go against our nature. We are a family, sort of, and...you're special to all of us. You're father would be...happy and so proud of... you, I just know it."
"That's right Anna were are always here for you." Tiana said smiling.
"And not matter what you tell us or do, we will always support you." Belle voice was hitched from crying but it was still heart filled.
"So if you ever need to talk to some one..." Kai said happily.
"We will be right here waiting." Gerda said, who was also wiping tears from her face.
Oaken spoke next "We love you Anna and always will."
"So be happy for who you are and what you always were and will be." Olaf said with the biggest smile on his face.
"Look around and never fear judgment from...other people Anna. You are who you are and never forget that we are here for you no matter what."
Anna was more than just happy and more than just excited as tears of joy stilled rolled down her face. "I can't tell you how thankful I am guys. Just...wow. Thank you."
"Sooo, who is the lucky gal?" Tiana asked.
"Merida, and we are really happy together."
"Oh well there's double trouble." Belle said and everybody laughed.
"Two of the most fougueux red heads we have." Lumiere added.
"So what does your mom think?" Kai asked innocently.
Anna felt her heart drop a bit. Everybody knew, except her mother and what made it worse was that she still didn't feel ready to tell her.
Noticing Anna's change in demeanor Olaf asked, "What's wrong Anna?"
"My mother, she still doesn't know." Guilt slowly made it's way into her.
"Hey don't worry, you'll tell here when you're ready." Belle reassured.
"That's right, and I hate to say this but it's twelve and we all have to be hear by six." Oaken said.
They all said good bye and how happy they were for Anna. She walked home that night feeling as if she could take on the world tens times and not even break a sweat. The next thing to do was tell her mother but now wasn't the time.
Walking inside the house she found that her mother had made dinner and was already in bed. Taking her dinner Anna went up to her room and now prepared for along night of homework, but no amount was going to bring her down.
Fear could not describe what Elsa felt. It couldn't even scratch the surface.
She didn't have it in her to try and fake being sick to stay home. With what happened the night before with her parents, they would definitely know something was going on and question her to no end about it.
She wanted to just drive away from this town and forget everybody. Find a new place and a new life and accept who she was She was old enough to it, 17, she could make it by herself . But, it was mere fantasy to her, an idled dream that felt like a fairytale.
With every stop light, she hoped it would never turn the lime green, letting her go further to her him, leading her closer to hell.
Pulling into her parking space 113, she sat there and turned the car off. she looked out the windshield. It was March and snow continued to fall. Freely falling were ever it landed. Being free and not worry what happened. Each flake having it's own uniqueness to it, being special in it's own way.
Elsa envied how even something inanimate could have something so special to it. She looked at her phone, 6:57. The bell would ring soon and attendance would be called for the ten minute morning class would start off the day.
After that first period, where she would confront him. She got out of her car and walked slowly into the building. Normally the freezing wind would cut through someone like a serrated blade, but Elsa loved the cold, it never bothered her, and today it seemed to spin around her and whisper in her ear.
But she looked as if she were freezing, walking fast, head down, arms holding her sides. Her backpack felt like it was filled with stones. She wanted to go home, to not go through this anymore. Why me, why can't I be strong. Is there anything that I will stand up for. GOD FUCKING DAMNIT. This life is a pile of absolute worthless shit.
She made it to her morning class and waited for attendance and the announcements for the day to be called. She stared at the clock coldly hoping that it would stop ticking. With each tick came more fear, more nervousness, more sickness. Her head was in pain and she covered her hands with a pair of white gloves, hiding her once perfect hands.
The bell rang and everyone rushed out to get class. To lead a normal and pain free life. To sit down and learn, to envy homework, to have friends.
She walked down the hallway with distant eyes. Seeing only blurred images of teachers and students walking by. Hearing them call to each other kindly and happily. going about there business, not noticing her or having any concern. Tell someone and save yourself. The voice echoed in her head but another was drowning it out with Don't you need him to get over these thoughts. Don't worry it could be worse.
She made it to the hall leading towards the auditorium. She saw him standing there with his arms crossed, a look of glory on his face.
I can't do this. He's going to make me have sex with him and I can't do it. I won't, but I will because it's the only way. "Let's go, get your ass in hear now." He said bitterly. Her legs moved on there own and the hallway seemed to shorten.
Walking inside Hans had his phone and was texting. "Who are you texting." She tried to act happy and nonchalant.
"No one, this is what I want you to see." He turned the phone to her and she looked at the picture.
Her heart stopped and her eyes widened with shame, fear, disgust, and embarrassment. The picture was of her, with no shirt, and no bra, exposing her voluptuous breasts and petite nipples to the photographer. She didn't know when or how Hans got a picture of her like that, but it was why he showed that made her so scared.
"I've taken a bunch of photos like these when you've passed out from being so weak to such a harmless drug." She starred at him with no emotion. "Originally these were just for me, but you know, you ignoring the one person who loves you, I've decided others wise." No. "I've sent only one photo for now. It has been sent to Gaston, Drizela, Ursala, Butch, Pete, Horace and Jasper." Elsa felt like she was in a nightmare, hoping to wake up from this it, but the more she hoped to wake up the, the worse it got.
"If you ever ignore or piss me off again, this photo and many others will be sent to them, and the rest of the football team. Consider us even."
There wear no tears, only fear and understanding. "Okay, I won't do it again."
"Good. Now, I've noticed you've gotten fat so here." Her reached in his pocket and pulled out a spoon, a lighter, a bag of what looked like salt, and a needle with a syringe.
"What's this?"
"It's something to loose that weight, put the white stuff on the spoon, use the lighter to heat it up so it turns into a liquid, and suck it up with the needle and syringe." His voice condescending and still bitter
"Then what?"
"Oh my god your so stupid, inject it into you arm, it's not fucking hard." He shook his head and rolled his eyes. "Here this is to help you find the vein." He handed her a piece of fabric.
"Wh...what about you."
"Me, I'm not putting that shit into my body. God I guess you are stupid." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a needle and syringe that was filled with something. "I need to get in shape and with this, I'm sure to be the best condition ever. Now do what I told you."
Anna looked for Elsa as she entered the room. Yes! Phew, I knew she would be here.
She walked over to the blonde and sat down next to her. "Hey Elsa." Her voice sweet and kind. "Ready to work today."
The blonde was sitting with her head down and arms wrapped around her. Anna didn't notice the distant look in Elsa's eyes or her flushed cheeks. She was shaking and her legs seem to want to get up and run. "Elsa, are you okay. You're shaking and it's like a desert in here." Anna tried to position her self to look into Elsa's eyes but the blonde moved her head and then her entire body, away from Anna.
Mrs. Pots walked into the room blissfully and robustly, "You know what class, I've decided to change to the decade that I've given you to work from. Let's change it from the eighties to the nineties." Everyone in the else let out a sigh of relief and said 'Thank God'.
Anna on the other hand was a little disappointed, Dang it, I had like five songs that Elsa and I could've chosen from. Ugh, it took me to five in the morning to narrow it down.
"But I expect some really breathe taking performances since this is closer to your age. Now get started and really explore this time."
"Well Elsa looks like you and I are going to pick a song. I say that because, I had picked out like five songs we could experiment with. But with this change I guess it will have to be a bit more challenging." Anna went of rambling about what artist they could choose from. It was long until Anna noticed Elsa seemed to be a completely different person.
She furrowed her brow, "Elsa are you alright? You seem really distant, well more than usual." She brought her chair around to face the same direction Elsa was facing. Putting her hand on the blondes shoulder, she leaned forward and in a low voice, "Are you feeling okay? You're really shaking and it is kind of worrying me."
"I'm fine." Her voice was shaky and raspy. "Just leave me alone. I don't want to work with you."
Slightly hurt, Anna tried to make sense of why Elsa wanted to be alone when it was clear she didn't. "Yes you do, come on. I know you kind of ditched me before but there is a good reason for it."
"I'm not just going to let some like you work alone. It doesn't feel right for some reason. Stop trying to pull away and let me look at you, face to face."
Anna's iron grip on Elsa's shoulder was not going to let and in a sudden burst of rage, Elsa stood up and shouted "Just stop!" Everyone in the class looked in Elsa's and Anna's direction. "I don't need your fucking bullshit about being alone and if it feels wrong. I'm fine so fuck off!" Elsa grabbed her backpack and stormed out of the room.
More confused than hurt Anna rushed out of the room to chase after Elsa. "Anna don't..." She knew it was Ariel's voice calling out to her but she didn't care. What is it with this girl. She's so resolute about being alone. There's something more to this and now it's really going to bother me.
"Elsa wait!" The blonde started to pick up her pace to a near run. She had made it the end of the hall and turned left, she was barely able to catch a glimpse of Elsa turning the corner to head to the maintenance doors that lead outside. "Elsa!" After turning the corner, she saw the blonde kneeled over. Immediately she saw the poor girl throwing up violently.
"Jesus Elsa, you're really sick. Why did you even come to school today, you could've said something." She kneeled next to Elsa and started to pat her back.
"Go," before Elsa could finish another surge of throw up came out of her mouth. "Go away, I don't want you're help." Her anger was muffled due to being weakened from throwing up.
"You may not want my help, but it's clear you need it." She continued to stroke Elsa's back and decided to stay quiet for a while. Watching the blonde constantly throw and dry heave made Anna feel terrible. How could a person this gorgeous be this sick and come to school this way. She pondered on it for while but let it drop as she saw that Elsa was now crying.
Not wanting to talk Anna decided to sing. She opened her mouth and sang a lower note gradually getting higher "Ah-ahahaaa, ah-ahahaaa, ah-ahahaahahaha." Repeating the run a couple times she started singing the lyrics of the song, "But who cares? No big deal. I want more. Up where they walk, up where they run, Up where they stay all day in the sun. Wanderin' free-wish I could be. Part of that world." Trilling the last word, Anna saw that Elsa was taking small glimpses at her. "What would I give if I could live, out of these waters? What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand." She sang soft, melodic and mesmerizing.
Elsa couldn't believe this red-head was in the middle of the hall singing, and singing to her especially. Elsa could just barely get what Anna was trying to sing about and it brought forth more tears of how someone would give anything to just get past her indestructible walls of fear and self-loathing. She sat against the wall, continuing to hear Anna's god given singing. I can't and I won't. Friends, and that's all it ever will be. Nothing more. The more she said the more she felt as if it wasn't enough.
"Bet'cha on land they understand. That they don't reprimand their daughters. Proper women sick of swimmin. Ready to stand. And ready to know what the people know. Ask 'em my questions and get some answers. What's a fire and does it-whats that word again? Burn." The falsettos, trills, and pure soul from Anna's voice was sinking into Elsa's mind. Sitting there she looked at Anna who was staring right back at her with pleading and sweat emerald eyes.
"When's it my turn? Wouldn't I love, love to explore that world up above?" Anna gestured to Elsa's flushed and doleful head. "Out of the sea, wish I could be, part of that world." Her voice slowly trialed off into a silence that lasted for what seemed forever. "Elsa, I don't why you're trying to be alone, and I don't why I'm so determined to help you, but I do know I will help you. I only hope you can make it easier on me because doing this the semi-easy hard way is easier to do." She smiled. "What I would want to know right now is what makes you happy, something that makes you forget about everything in the world that sucks and get lost in whatever you do to make yourself fell better."
"What makes me happy is singing. It helps me find different ways to use my very easily distracted brain. It gives me a sense of what the lyrics tell you, and what you can make them tell. That song, was something my friend Ariel, you know the other ginger in our class, sang when she was being homeschooled. All her life she wanted to go to public and make friends. Long story short she did, and fell in love, yatta, yatta, here she is today."
"But think about what I was trying to get at? Don't tell what you think, that's for later, for now tell what makes you happy, and if you can why?" Anna smiled as she waited for the shocked and gawking blonde to answer.
