"What do you mean it's complicated?" Merida complained.

"It just is." Anna's saddened eyes gazed off into the woods.

"That's not an answer. Tell me why you can't tell your mother." Merida demanded.

Anna's eyes somberly fell to the ground. Her grasp on Merida's hand tightened a bit and her pace slowed.

"Anna!"

"I don't know why. I don't know okay. Every time I go to tell her I just freeze and talk about something else." Anna's voice was hushed.

"You need to tell her. I don't like going to you house and hiding from your mother or waiting till she leaves. It makes me feel like we're doing something wrong every time we have to stop kissing because you think you heard something." Merida took a deep breath and stopped walking. "My mother always said if it feels like shouldn't be doing something then it's wrong."

"My mom says the same thing." Anna's grasp on Merida's hand tightened. "But who we are and what we do isn't wrong. If anything it can get a little naughty at times." Anna smiled weakly and looked at Merida only to have her smile fade.

"Then why can't you or the both of us tell her?" Merida's words echoed in Anna's head over and over and Anna's eyes fell to the ground once more. Everyone kept telling her this and if she was going to be truthful about this, it annoyed and angered her every time someone did ask her.

Telling her mother shouldn't be this hard but for some damn reason it was. She couldn't understand why opening up to her mother made her feel so uncomfortable. She and Merida were getting closer and closer to having sex but neither girl wanted to have it until both of their parents knew about them being together. Merida's parents had already known their daughter was gay and were happy to know that she had finally found someone but kept saying a relationship at this age was too young.

"We can tell her together whether she accepts us, which she will, or not. It doesn't matter what she says."

"It does to me!" Anna snapped, her eyes brows furrowed together. For a brief moment Merida drew back, releasing Anna's hand and looking as if she was caught committing a crime.

Feeling terrible for raising her voice Anna turned and looked away again, her anger lingering in her eyes with tears slowly burning below them.

All of a sudden she felt a par of arms wrap around her waist and the weight of Merida's head on her shoulder. "I can see how much it bothers you that your mother still doesn't know. Every day since we started dating you've grown sadder from not telling her."

"It's hard to find the right time to tell her. I've been doing radio performances on weekends and the ones in the restaurant. I've also been working on Ms. Pots' project. That agent also wants an original song and his deadline is less than a month away."

"Stop making excuses and just tell her."

"It took her years to finally realize my dream to be a singer. I don't like hiding from my mom and I don't like how I can't approach her about being gay."

"Then later today we can tell her. I'm coming over anyway."

"But-"

"No," Merida boomed turning Anna around, "We, you are going to tell her. She's going to accept you because there's nothing in this world that she loves more than you. When my mother found out from my old school that I was gay she did everything to turn me straight, but guess what?" Anna looked into Merida's confident and smiling face. "The only reason she did that was because she was so distraught that her own daughter couldn't tell her the truth. There's more to that story but that's not important right now."

"Then I guess we're going to tell her." Anna said smiling.

"Not we, I'm being there for moral support. You are going to her."

They kissed for a few moments. Anna smiled and when she broke the kiss she told Merida she was going to do it.

Together they walked through the woods until they came across the rock they usually stopped at. They usually sit on it and talk for hours on end but Merida had a dentist appointment at 2:30 and it was already 1:57.

"So want to walk back now, there's no time do anything and walking back will at least ten minutes."

"You can walk back, I want to see how far I can go."

"Well your crazy because there's a good chance you're going to get lost."

"Highly unlikely."

"Oh and why is that?"

"Well, I don't get lost in anything." Anna smirked.

"Lies. You get lost in music, me, and the videos I send you. Don't tell me otherwise because either of those three things can have you occupied for hours."

"Noooo, I usually finish before the videos end, music, well you got me there, and as for you, you got me again. That's also a 66% which is a passing grade so a I guess your right."

"I'll take that."

"Good so see yah"

"I don't want to walk back alone." Merida playfully whined.

"Wimp, you scarred of wolves or the slender man."

"Wolves yes but it's the middle of the day so unless there rapid I don't think I'm going to see any. As for the slender man, I got over that after you showed those YouTube videos. I'm not scarred and wasn't, I just wanted to hold your a little longer."

Anna grinned, "Sure, whatever you say." Merida rolled her eyes. "The next time we come her I'll walk back with you. Today though I'm feeling adventures. You're welcome to come with and miss you appointment."

"No thank, my mom will so pissed if I do that. I'll never her the end of."

"So good-bye then. See you later tonight." Anna smiled and waved good-bye to her girlfriend.

"You suck." Merida smiled

Anna turned and walked into the woods.

With the snow melted and the spring just starting to warm things up the red head marched her way through the trees. Anna knew her adventures through the woods would end soon because of how thick the trees and plants would get and she always wanted to see if there was something in or out of the woods if she pushed far enough into them. Even though the walk was boring, Anna managed to distract herself with thinking of lyrics for her song. She had the piano or guitar part down for the song down. But the lyrics, let alone the titled, still eluded her.

A million song titles would go through her head but nothing ever worked. Even though she had narrowed it down to For the First in Forever, Fixer Upper and a few other titles she kept going through different ones in her head. She thought that coming up with a song title would give her inspiration for lyrics to the song but with out a title she would draw blanks and star at her piano or laptop for hours. It was ridiculous.

How could someone sit for hours and not think of one god damn word to write. It's just too stupid. AHHH. The melody is perfect and so is everything else for the instrumental part of the song. I can even hum how the lyrics should go. One would think that would be enough the write a song but no. I get nothing every time and it's so fucking stupid. What is wrong with me Christ sake.

Instead of complaining to herself Anna just decided to hum the song constantly until she decided turned back or miraculously find somewhere so her mother could pick her up.

The song would open with a piano intro and repeat twice. Then the lyrics would come in soft and wretched. Great, but this was just another thing to smack in her in the face that was part of the song but with no lyrics; knowing how the emotions of lyrics should go and Ugh why can't I come up with lyrics. Fuck, it's like I'm not supposed to come up with my own song and it's really starting to depress me. Anyways Anna continued with her soft humming. After two verses of the somber feeling the song would remain at the same tempo but it start to gain confidence and what the red head could only think of as relief for some reason. The song would resonate with that emotion for the rest of the time.

Then the bridge would of the song would start and, ugh something else I have, but still no mother effing lyrics. Inspiration hit me like a falling tree, metaphorically of course. Stopping at the thought, she scanned the woods just to make sure there wasn't any dead looking or weird trees that could fall on her.

After she went back to her humming and from there she kept repeating the melody to the chorus in head but that led to something completely different. One of the last few notes was incredibly high and super long. Anna herself could rarely sing the note herself, Jesus it's like I'm trying to shoot myself in the foot with this song. No lyrics, a really fucking hard note to hit and a deadline that would make even the most chill person to feel pressure.

Suddenly Anna saw a flash of light, squinting and closing her eyes to make she wasn't going crazy Anna saw another gleam light. Stopping her humming, Anna fought her way to the weird reflections of light. When she broke out from the trees she was surprised and confused to see a lake. If her memory served her right, the red head knew that there were no lakes anywhere for miles. It was still winter and the lake was frozen over. Even though there was one day of spring weather the lake was still fairly frozen, and if there was anything that she learned in science it took more time and heat to make water warmer than land. The reason why, well I don't remember everything I learn. Oh well I feel achieved for doing some kind of school work that wasn't forced upon me.

Looking over the bank she saw her icy reflection and smiled. Checking her phone, she realized it had taken an hour to get up and her mother would get upset with her if she didn't call for a ride home soon. But just as she was about the call her mom and walk back she saw someone else come out of the woods.

At first she thought it was some weird dude out in the middle of the woods but from the looks of the clothing and hair, whoever the person was, was a girl of woman. Anna was going to wave but then she saw what seemed to be a white bear next the girl. Retracting her hand widening her eyes Anna slowly stepped back into the woods not wanting to attract the attention of the animal. From the looks of it that weird bear could eat her in a few bites. But just as she thought she was getting away the animal looked over at her and howled.

The fuck kind of roar was that?! Doesn't matter I'm so dead, look at that thing run. Fuck me, why?

Before Anna could sprint away with her arms flailing the bear was already half across the banks to her.

Her mind going black, Anna froze not know what to do next. But then it hit her on what to do. Falling to the ground and covering her head with her arms Anna waited for the animal to reach her. God I hope your right about doing this Merida. If not I'm going to haunt you for the rest of you life.

When she felt the animal around her Anna was on the verge of crying. Waiting for the first bite Anna bit her lips until she could taste small traces of blood. But the bite never came and instead were sniffing sounds and nudges to her stomach, which would elicit a squeal form the girl. Eventually though the animal managed to get Anna on her back.

Looking into the animal's unusually playful eyes Anna waited for the animal to open it's mouth and eat her head clean off. But, she was met with a wet tongue and barking that was so loud the red head had to cover her ears.

Sitting up, Anna finally realized with a huge sigh of relief that the 'bear' was actually a really big ass dog. "You had me half scarred to death boy...or girl." Anna wiped away her watering eyes and stood up. At least she thought she was, the dog's head was at hers and she couldn't tell if he was standing or sitting. Sticking out her hand the dog sniffed it and then licked her face again.

"Okay you can stop that now," she giggled, "I wonder what you and your owner are doing out her, which is probably the question she wants to know too." Moving around the dog, who was actually sitting, Anna saw who the owner was. "Elsa! What are you doing out her, and what's your dogs name, and what kind of breed is he, and is this a place you come to be alone?"

Elsa whistled for her dog, who seemed to walk slowly back with his or her tail down. "His name is Marshmallow and he's Grate Dane."

"Cool and-"

"And this is a place I come to be alone, so please go. Now."

"Elsa,"

"I said go! I just want to be alone. Why can't you seem to understand that?" Elsa's eyes grew somber and hurtful.

Anna let out a small huff of grief, "Elsa if it bothers you that I'm trying to help I'm sorry but can we talk please. I or anyone for that matter, has seen you in school. Even though I don't know you I'm still feel worried about you."

"Don't." Elsa snapped. "I don't care. Just leave me alone. I don't even like you so leave."

Those words hit Anna like a bullet. No one had ever said that to her and she felt as if her heart had been broken. She looked into the blondes sapphire eyes in hopes to see it wasn't true.

In Elsa's eyes she saw how hurt she was to say that but covering that was this barrier of anger that was there to shield how she truly felt.

Neither of them said anything for a moment and then Elsa closed her eyes and turned away, hugging herself tightly.

"Elsa wait." The blonde only seemed to move faster, but fell after a couple of feet. "Elsa are you alright?" No reply, she only brought herself onto her knees. Anna looked into the girls face and saw loneliness and hurt. Anna had always known Elsa was going through something but what the red head really wanted to know was why, and to her that felt more important to know. "Elsa, even if you really don't like me, I want you to hear me out."

The blonde said nothing. "I've said this before, but I know something is bothering and that I want to work up to you telling me. But it seems that's going to be hard to do because we never get to see each other a lot. I also think the more important thing to know is the reason behind whatever this is bothering you. From the last times we've talked it's clear that getting an answer from you is like a cracking open a cachou nut that isn't partially opened."

"So what I'm going to do is tell you what I've been going through." Anna took a deep breath. "As you know, I'm gay. No surprise there. But the thing is there is one person I love that doesn't know, and it's my mother. For some reason I can't tell her. Every time I do, I can't go through with and end up berating myself for not telling her. Merida, my girlfriend, says it's because I won't be able to handle my moms response if she says no. Maybe that's the reason but, I don't it doesn't sound right to me. I hate not being able to tell her and I hate knowing the longer I hold this out the more of a chance she'll find out from someone else." Anna sniffled a bit.

"It's because you're scarred."

"What?"

Elsa hated herself for saying that out loud. I'm so stupid, I don't want to feel this way and I don't care what she has to say.

"You think it's because I'm scarred." Elsa closed her eyes and wished to be somewhere else. "Scarred of what?"

Tell her, even though I'm to scarred to tell her anything about myself, this is my chance to do something for someone else, do it. In the back of her mind though something kept telling her to keep her mouth shut. Elsa spoke in a soft but audible tone. "You're girlfriend," a shockwave of electricity went through the blondes body as she said that word, "is somewhat right."

"What do you mean."

Don't stop now, "I mean you scarred of how your mother will react. But, it's the negative way of how she will react that scares you." Keep going. "I, don't know a lot about you but to me it seems that your scarred of you mother because you think she's going to tell you to get over those feelings, that you not gay and it's just face, that you need help and need to see someone." As Elsa listed off the terrible things Anna's mother could say to her, the blonder herself was speeding up as she talked and her heart raced as she remember some conversations with her parents. "That you're not her daughter, that-" Elsa felt her eyes watering and her trembling increased to a very noticeable movement."

"Elsa stop." Anna pleaded but the blonde continued. "Elsa-" More and more things the blonde's parents had said to her. "Elsa!"

Finally the blonde stopped. She looked over at Anna who was starring at her with worrying eyes and helping aura. At that moment Elsa looked away and broke down crying, something she hadn't done in a long while.

"Thank you Elsa." Anna hugged Elsa, which only seemed to make the blonde cry harder. She didn't hug back but she didn't want Anna to stop. "Since you like Three Days Grace, I think you'd know this song from there new album."

"I will never give up on. I see the real you, even if you don't I do, I do. I will never give up on you. I see the real you, even if you don't I do, I do. And I'll show you the road to follow. I'll keep you safe till tomorrow. I'll pull you away from sorrow. I see the real you. Even if you don't I do."

"If you're the one, to run, to run: I'll be the one, the one, you run to. If you're the one, to run, to run; I'll be the one, the one, you run to. You're no the only lonely one. I see the real you even if you don't I do." The next part of the song was a short guitar riff that Anna hummed perfectly and then she hummed the melody of the piano that plays throughout the song."

For those of you that have taken interest in this story I thank you. I'm sorry that it takes me five weeks to write a chapter. All I can say is that I suck. Oh well, but this story is a few chapters from the ones I've been wanting to write. Next week I will put up the next chapter and hopefully I can go back to weekly updates.

PM me if you have any tips for writing because sometime in the near future I'm going to fix up or maybe rewrite some of the chapters. Just don't tell me my writing sucks.

Constructive criticism, just don't go overboard.
