25 Real or Not?
POV Elsa
My alarm clock woke me up again this morning and I reached to take my phone from my table. There's no new messages again and I sighed. Where is he? Last time when I saw him was a week ago when I left from his home.
My fingers move fast as I type him another message and sent it. Again I ordered him to respond to me and I asked if something is wrong. Suddenly my door slams open and Anna comes inside, she jumps on my bed and grinned happily. "Hey Elsa, the morning is pretty! Rise and shine!" She giggled and I laughed when she hit me with my pillow.
"Stop!" I exhaled when she started to tickle me. "Never!" She chuckled and we fell to floor. "Ouch, that hurt Anna," I said and breathed fast. "I know right!" She chuckled and rubbed her head which she hit when we dropped.
She stood up and helped me to stand. "What's bugging you?" She asked and I smiled sadly. "Love issues?" She whispered and we both sat on the edge of my bed. "I don't know Anna. It's like he is avoiding me or something," I whispered.
"He is an artist! He might have some huge art piece that he is working on with! Just busy, you'll see!" Anna said and tried to cheer me up. "Yeah," I said while my voice cracked a bit.
Anna hummed, "Well, get dressed and come to breakfast. I did that special chocolate sauce that you love," Anna smiled and touched my shoulder. After she left I changed my clothes and then I heard my phone beeping. It was a text but from Punzie and for a slight moment I felt disappointed.
Punzie wanted to hang out and chat about boy issues. I laughed at her choice of words. It seems that her boyfriend has done something that is annoying her. I told her that I would meet her after I had done my job at Anna's chocolate shop and doing something.
The day went by slowly. There were lots of customers today at Anna's shop, especially couples. It seems that Anna's business is growing. I'm so happy that she got a special order today. It's for a birthday party for a girl called Melody. She is the daughter of a famous singer called Ariel who is married to Eric who owns a recording studio that's top of a kind.
"I will meet Punzie so I won't come for dinner," I told to Anna after we had closed the shop. Today Kristoff is abroad and won't be coming home for a week because he is learning some new techniques for ice cream making. "Sure, I will grab a pizza on the way home," Anna said and locked the door to her shop.
"One other thing," I laughed nervously and Anna stood straight. "Yup?" She smiled and I rubbed my other arm. "Can I borrow your car for today?" I smiled and she nodded. "Yes you can! Just don't be out too late," she smiled and threw me her car keys. She runs over the street and goes to Ratatouille restaurant where you get the city's best pizza's. I went to her car and sat on the driver's seat.
My heart beats nervously as I turned right and drove to the road that leaded to his house. For a moment I hesitated before I rang the doorbell but then I gathered my courage. Soon an electric sound caught my ear and then the door opened. I saw Emma waiting on the inside and holding a remote control which she uses to open the front door when no one is home besides her.
"Hey, it's me, Elsa," I said to her and stepped inside. "Oh, hi," she sounded a bit surprised which I noticed immediately. "I wonder if you know where your brother is?" I asked from her and looked around me.
"He is not at home. Actually I thought that he is with you. For a week now he has just stopped by randomly and told me that he is with a friend," Emma told me. I bit my lower lip," Maybe he is with Hiccup?" I asked and Emma hummed. "Yeah, he probably is. How are you? I haven't seen you in a while," Emma giggled.
I smiled, "I'm doing alright but I just would like to meet him after a while." Emma nodded her head and I cleared my throat. "Well, see you soon Emma. I will go to see Hiccup if he knows something," I said and left from the door and she wished me a good evening.
I send a message to Punzie that I will meet her in one hour after I have seen someone. After she responded that it was alright for her I knocked Hiccups door. "Just a moment!" I heard a yell from the inside and then some steps coming closer to the door.
Hiccup seemed a bit surprised when he opened the door but he asked me to come inside. "What brought you here Blizz?" He smiled and suggested me to sit in a chair in his living room. "Have you noticed anything weird going on.. with Jack?" I asked from him and he rubbed his neck. "He has been with you a lot so I haven't seen him that much," he shrugged his shoulders.
"With me?" I raised my voice. "Yeah, he barely sends me messages anymore and only sees me shortly. It's been lasting for.. let me think.. a week now?" Hiccup muttered. "Emma told me that he has been with a friend so I thought that he is here," I said quietly. Hiccup raised his eyebrow, "Wait so he has not been with you?" I shook my head.
We stayed quiet for a moment. "Well, I think that there's a perfectly good explanation," Hiccup grinned. I laughed, "Like what?" Then Hiccup smirked, "Maybe he is you know, doing a surprise for certain someone.. He can't afford anyone knowing and telling her about it."
My cheeks blushed, "Like what?" Hiccup grinned mischievously, "Like proposing or something like that..We guys take stuff like that seriously." My heart jumped to my throat. "No way!" I exhaled and Hiccup laughed.
"I, uh, I need to go," I said quickly and stood up. "Well just think of it, it would be great thing," Hiccup laughed as he walked with me to his front door. "Oh stop it already," I murmured and opened the door.
When I got into my car I see Hiccup waving to me from the door. I waved back and then drove off. Jack would be proposing to me? Can't be or could it be like that? A smile crawls into my face for few seconds and images of us fill my mind. How I would look at my wedding day, how he would stand in the altar handsome and smiling. The way he would promise to love me until death to us apart, holding my hands and my eyes tearing up.
The next image caused me to laugh slightly. It was a certain morning when I would come out from the bathroom and see him waiting for me in the outside, smiling and anxious. Then he would ask, "Well?" And I would watch into his excited blue eyes and say, "Positive." How he would laugh happily and lift me up from my waist and spin us around. Then nine months later I would be tired and he would come to me, grinning proudly and showing me our child. How we would celebrate together with our friends and love each other as long as we live. Could we have a future like that? I don't know.
I sighed and noticed that I had almost driven the whole way to the coffee shop where I was supposed to meet Punzie. I'm waiting in the lights and waiting it to turn into green. Then I drove quickly to parking lot and took my bag from the backseat.
"Sorry I'm late!" I exhaled when I saw Punzie sitting in corner table and sipping espresso. "Don't worry Elsie," she smiled and told me to sit. The waitress asked what I would like and I asked for chocolate flavored special coffee. "So what did you want to speak with me?" I smiled to her.
On the background was television showing the hottest gossip program in town, it was called 'Evening with Charlotte'. The hostess was provocative natured and well liked in this town. Yes, her name is on the shows name.
Punzie cleared her throat and I look at her. "So Flynn has been acting odd, he says that he is on business.. But he won't tell me what he does for work!" Punzie gasped and I raised my eyebrow. "Maybe you could spy on him?" I grinned.
Punzie played with her hair nervously, "Could I do that?" She whispered and I nodded. "B-but what if I find out that he is.. is.." Punzie mumbled and I laughed. "A thief?" I chuckled. "Yeah! " She exhaled.
"Punz, you're one yourself," I whispered. "Oh my! And my friend is too! And she is dating one," she muttered and pulled her hair to cover her face. "Punzie, relax. Maybe he is a businessman?" I smiled and she blushed. "Or a hitman!" She gulped and I rolled my eyes while laughing. "Just chill already," I said and patted her back.
"You sound like him," Punzie smiled mischievously. "Like who?" I asked with curiousity. "Like Jack," she giggled and my cheeks blushed. "Oh c'mon! It's good for you!" She winked her eye.
POV Punzie
"So what's your issue with him anyway?" I asked from Elsa and she moved restlessly. "With Jack?" She whispered. "Yes with Jack," I said and rolled my eyes. She inhaled deeply, "He hasn't been around that much for a week. Not even messages! Not even one!" She said and sounded concerned.
"Hmm.. did you ask from his friend or his sister about it?" I said and leaned to my hands. "Yeah, they don't know either but," she said and bit her lower lip. "BUT?" I said and raised my eyebrow. I knew that something is up when she acts like this.
Elsa sighed, "Hiccup told me that Jack might want to surprise me in some way." I grinned, "Like what way?" Elsa blushed and played with her fingers. "Well," she muttered.
I groaned, "Tell it already!" Elsa whispered something but I couldn't hear what she said. "C'mon?" I smiled and she moved restlessly. "I'll tell him about your most embarassing memory if you won't share your information right now," I smiled deviously.
"You wouldn't dare!" Elsa raised her voice and I nodded my head. "Fine.. Hiccup told me that he, J-Jack might be arranging a surprise like.. uh.. maybe proposing," Elsa said quietly and I squealed. "That would be awesome!" I said and Elsa smiled shyly.
"Speaking of engagements," Elsa said and smiled warmly. "Hiccup proposed to Merida and she said yes. Anna told me," Elsa said and laughed a bit. "Whoa! So we will have a few weddings coming up! Hmm.. we need to plan something so the Nightmares won't mess the celebration," I whispered and Elsa nodded. "Yeah, I would hate if Pitch knew about this," she sighed.
Suddenly the cafeteria had gone silent, only few whispers were hearing from around us. I glance at the television where Charlotte is speaking in excitement. I gulped and Elsa asked what's wrong. "Y-you're in television," I whispered and I see how people are pointing at her. Elsa frowned and looks at the television.
'So girls! The famous artist Jackson Overland has been taken by this gorgeous beauty right here,' Charlotte announced and a picture of Elsa and Jack together flashed on the screen. Elsa turned red and tried to sink under the table. 'A cute couple right?' Charlotte giggled and more pictures were showing.
"Where did they get those?" Elsa whispered and I chuckled. I look back at the television where Charlotte is having a blast with the new gossip she has. Someone quickly took a picture of Elsa in the cafeteria and some girls are giving her angry glares. "This is bad Punz," Elsa whispered.
"Why?" I asked and she bit her lower lip. "Now Pitch will know," she mumbled and I realized that she was claimed as Pitch's property. Now whole Burgess knows Jackson Overland being together with her and yeah, there are even pictures of him kissing her.
Then I noticed how the voices of people got louder. 'But it turned out that this guy here is definitely a heartbreaker,' Charlotte said in stunned voice and both I and Elsa look at the television again. There was an image of Jack while he was laughing in his art gallery. 'Jackson Overland is a scumbag,' Charlotte said strictly.
Elsa's eyes widened. 'Yeah you heard me! He is good for nothing. You want to know why?' Charlotte said and then we see how a video is starting on the screen. On the beginning there's his face with two stripes going as X over it.
"What?" Elsa whispered and then we see how Jack is going out from his car and then opening up the passenger door. He smiles and helps out someone. I gasped when I saw how he offered his hand to a woman. 'Yeah, as you can see this is what he has been doing for this week,' Charlotte spoke on the video.
I look at Elsa and she is breathing heavily as she looks at the television with blank stare. "Elsa?" I whispered and then I see how Jack placed his arm around the woman's waist. They went inside some fancy restaurant. Then there's a new image when they came out, it's a video also but much closer this time.
"Isn't that!" Someone yelled inside the cafeteria and someone responded. "Yeah! That's Toothiana from Hope and Memory," a woman said. Then some people glanced at us and I turn around to Elsa. "M-maybe it is a misunderstanding," I whispered and I see a single tear running on Elsa's cheek.
"A misunderstanding?" Elsa said coldly and pointed at the television. I see how Jack is kissing Toothiana and I felt sad for her. Elsa is staring at her hands and shaking.
'The wonderful man of the year is a cheater! Now he is at the park as you can see, holding his new love,' Charlotte told and we see how Jack is sitting with her at park bench. "Elsa?" I whispered when I saw her in pain. "Shut up," she said with cracking voice.
"He is in the park?" Elsa said coldly suddenly and I startled. "Y-yeah," I whispered and touched her shoulder. She pushed my hand away and stood up. Her chair fell to ground and then she slammed her fist on the table. "I'm going to kill him!" She shouted and stormed out from the door.
"Nothing to see!" I said to everyone at the cafeteria quickly and run after her. Why on earth did we come to this cafeteria! It's way too close to the park. When I was at the park I searched after Elsa and soon I saw her. Then I saw that she was standing close to Jack and Toothiana. They didn't seem to notice her.
I run to her, "C'mon, let's go?" I begged from her. "I need to do something," she said and walked forward. "Overland!" She shouted and I see Jack startling. Now I see how someone moves inside the bush and I go there. "Go away girl," a man tells me and I notice that he is the one filming Jack with Toothiana. "Broadcast ends now," I said and took his video camera. I broke it and gave it back to him, telling him to leave now.
Then I run to Elsa, she needs me more than she knows. "Elsa," I heard Jack saying. "Explain!" Elsa yelled and poked Jack's chest. Jack's eyes widened from shock and he glances at Toothiana who stands behind of him. "I.. I.. uh," Jack mumbled. "Well?" Elsa hissed between her teeth.
Elsa seemed to get more and more angry every second while she waited for response. "You're an idiot!" She shouted to Jack who startled. "And we-are-through!" She yelled and slapped him to his face. It caused him to lose balance for second and he stared at her after, holding his cheek.
Elsa bit her lower lip and turned around, she walked away from him and I see how Toothiana placed her hand on his shoulder. I see how Jack's right hand lifted up little and his fingers twitched a bit, it was like he wanted to say something and wanted Elsa to stop. "Come," Elsa ordered me and grabbed my hand. She made me turn around.
"Just like that?" I asked and Elsa nodded her head. "Just like that, I don't need him for anything," she said and hurried her steps. "Now I won't give him any chance to beat me up in anything," Elsa muttered by herself and gave me a smile which tried to be brave. "Let's ruin his life," she said and laughed angrily. I gulped, I've never seen her like this.
