Elsa's POV

I went to the back of the school to take care of Marshmallow. It was raining hard. I had to get there to provide some protection for the cat. I didn't care anymore if I get sick. As long as the cat is fine, I'm fine as well. Besides, a cold never bothered me anyway. [A/N: Should I bring forth the book of puns?]

I got there. My clothes and hair are all wet. Like I said, it didn't bother me. My hair was messy and I didn't bother to fix it. It gets uglier when I fix my wet hair.

"Here, Marshmallow. Let me take care of you." I said to the white cat as I pet him. I carried the box and put it to the side so that he won't get wet. Just to be sure, I put my handkerchief to cover.

As I notice my hair being wet, I played with it for a moment and realized that my hair was getting longer. Maybe I should cut it.

Hm, should I?

10 minutes later and I'm still debating whether to cut or not. My bangs sometimes bother me. Maybe I should really cut it. Besides, my face is getting itchy when my hair covers my face.

I dialed my mom's number - which is the landline - to inform her about my hair. Mom's not working today so she's home.

"Hey mom?" I hear her, sniffing. She's probably crying again. I wish this would stop.
"Yeah? What is it?"
"Well... uhm.." After hearing her, I felt like this was an awkward situation to ask her about cutting my hair. I don't know. I feel like if I ask her, it would be like I didn't care about her feelings. "Can w..we go to the parlor tomorrow? M..my hair is too long for me to handle."

I just stood there, waiting for her response. Maybe she doesn't want to. I knew I shouldn't call her right now. I am such an idiot.

Then out of nowhere, I heard a sigh. Not like "ugh, fine" sigh, but more of like "phew" sigh.

"I thought that would never end." Wat?
"What are you talking about mom?" Then she laughed.
"I thought you couldn't moved on so I had to go along with you and pretend I'm still not over it. It may sound so stupid, you can get mad at me. I'm fine with it."

Wait..

She was lying the whole time?!

"W...w..wait. You were lying about your feelings the whole time?!"
"Well, no. Not really."

Jesus Christ! What is going on! All I just wanted was to get my hair cut! And I get this?!

I don't want to hate my mom for lying but I'm really mad at her for lying to me.

"I'm sorry, dear. If I lied. I know I shouldn't have done that and it was immature. I know you loved them so much, but I thought you couldn't get over them so I thought of this so you wouldn't feel so alone. I'm so sorry, Elsa. I didn't mean too. You have the right to hate me now for lying. But, I'm really sorry."

I absorbed all the words she said. She did that so that I wouldn't be alone? Isn't this enough?

But I don't want to hate my mom for lying to me. It hurts, I know. But if I hate her now, I'll regret everything. I don't want to lose her too. I've got nothing.

"It's alright mom. I understand. I love you too."

I was about to hang up but I remembered about the haircut.. "Wait! Mom, can you go with me to the parlor tomorrow?"

"Hm, I can't sweetie. I've got errands to do. I'll just reserve you an appointment if you want."

"No, no. It's fine! Okay, bye mom." Then, I hung up.

Minutes passed and I was just thinking what if Anna was still alive and she came in front of me with pure hatred for not being there all the time? What if...

What the heck am I thinking about. Where the heck did this come from?!

I stood up and was about to go inside but this guy happened to show up.

I shouted in shock. He almost killed me. -__-

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" I shouted.

"You're going to the parlor tomorrow, right?"

I blushed of the thought. How long has he been here?! How much did he hear? He needs to get out of my life, like. right. now.

"Shut up!" Then I had this "cringe attack" when I remembered the kiss we had.

"Ughh." I shouted in dusgust. (Are there any Phangirls who reads this?)

"I'll come with you if you want" Jack said.

Ever since we kissed, I didn't want to feel alone. But I feel so awkward whenever I'm with him. I want to go alone tomorrow, but it feels so quiet when I'm not with him. Should I?

Maybe I should.

"O..okay."

We went inside the school. Time passed and it's already the end of the day. I was about to walk home alon but Jack went to me.

"Come on, let's go home." He asked, smiling at me with his genuine smile.

And who would've thought that I wouldn't get annoyed this time. In fact,

I was happy.

Belated Merry Christmas, you guys! I hope you had fun reading! :)

Happy holidays! ^_^
