Chapter Twenty-One: Jelsa Fever 'Cold Days'
ELSA (P.O.V)
Olaf's birthday popped out of nowhere. An as I woke up that Tuesday morning the light from my window shining in my eyes through the colorful leaves of the large tree outside my window. I squinted the soreness of my throat burning and the heavy tiredness pulling at my eyes begging to keep them closed.
Olaf was up early on his birthday, waking everyone up like it was Christmas morning begging to get up get ready so we could got to school and come back to throw him a party. Chills rushed through my body and I realized for the first time in my life I was freezing.
The heavy ten year old correction now eleven year old jumped on me. He was extremely excited about his birthday it coved his face like paint on a easter egg. Anna stood behind him ready for school.
"Come on Elsie time to get ready for school," Olaf yelled.
I nodded getting up the sudden dizziness coming over me causing me to fall forward catching myself on my bed side table lowering myself to the floor. Anna came to my side.
"Are you okay?" Anna asked concerned.
I nodded,"Yes just tired!" I said my voice scratchy. I sniffled. "Its time to get ready so we can go to school and come back and throw a huge birthday party!"
Anna shook her head placing the back of her hand on my forhead. "You burning up, you have a fever!" Anna says, "Elsa I think you have a cold!"
"I don't get colds!" I argued. I never did really not ever. "Besides the cold doesn't bother me!"
I wrapped my arms around myself shivering only slightly. Olaf gave a frown, "Aw! That sucks your sick on the best day of the year," he frowned then shrugged still in his pajamas his hair messy was worse than Jacks and he only had on one sock, "Thats okay, Elsie maybe you'll feel better later, if your not I'll save you some cake maybe it is a ice cream cake!"
Olaf didn't seem to be extremely upset about me being sick on his birthday he seemed more worried about my well being. I loved my siblings. Although he seemed fine there was absolutely nothing stopping me from making this literally the best day.
I could feel it in the chills I felt, I was sick however I wasn't gonna let a cold hold me back. Maybe I would let it hold me from school. Anna helped me back into bed and pulled a blanket around my shoulders.
"I'll tell Mom and dad your not well," she says, "Feel free to text me if you need anything I will leave school and come to you!"
I smiled softly. "I'll be fine Anna go on im sure Kristoff is waiting outside to drive you to school."
Annas face turned into a look almost like she was nervous or felt guilty. She however covered it with a warm smile. Saying a quick bye she left me sitting on my bed. Olaf hopped on the bed hugging me.
His hugs were warm and made the chills stop for only seconds, "Love you sis, I'll see you later."
I hugged him back kissing his forehead, "Love you to," I smiled, "Happy birthday."
He thanked me rushing away. Knowing I seriously had to pee I got up slowly and stepped slowly to my bathroom. Which with my luck was out of toilet paper. Frowning I stepped into the hall keeping the purple blanket Anna had wrapped around me tightly around my shoulders.
The other bathroom was on the same floor at the front of the houses. I really didn't wanted to go. However I also didn't want to bug Olaf or my adoptive parents who were getting ready for the day.
As I made my way to the bathroom I heard Anna yell, "Bye LOVE YOU!" to everyone in the house. I made it to the bathroom frowning at the open window. As I went to shut it I paused noticing the ugly green jeep out front.
My lips bent downward as I watched Anna hop in. That wasn't Kristoff car? Was it? Shrugging I shut the window. Pulling outmy phone I texted Punz I wouldn't be at school I was sick. I didn't have to text Mer, she was still at the hospital was supposed to be released today.
Twins.
Oh CHOCOLATE!
Poor Mer, poor Hic.
Not so poor Mericcup.

Everyone had left by the time I was curled back up in bed. I'd leaned my head against my bundle of pillows. I had changed into some warmer clothes. Which was a white tank top with Jacks hoody he'd let me wear after I was pushed into the pool. It smelles like him still. An I also wore some gray sweat pants.
I pulled everything on my bed over me trying to make myself warm. I was planning to take a short nap before getting up and hopefully decorating some for Olafs birthday. My eyes began to droop.
I sure wasn't asleep for as long as I wanted to be. In fact I probably only had my eyes closed for five to ten minutes when there was a loud knock on my window. I shot up grabbing whatever was close holding it in front of me.
My first thought was robbors. My weapon happened to be a pencil. An not a sharpened one. The robber happened not to be a robber but something much worse!
"Jack!" I yelled my voice creaking, "What the hell go away!"
"Open the window!" He said.
Sigh in I got up taking the purple blanket. My cold feet wishing I'd put on socks. I opened the window and Jack jumped in the loud thump of his feet onto the floor made my aching head cry.
He shut the window sitting on my window seat. Sitting on my bed I glared hard through my tired eyes. "You look terrible," he commented.
Taking my pencil I threw it at him hitting him square between his eyes. His beautiful blue eyes! "No dip I'm sick!" I hissed sneezing loudly, "what are you doing here?!"
He smiles softly, "Blondie told me you were sick and I desided to be the best husband ever and take care of you!"
I raised my eyebrow, "Whats in this for you?"
"Nothing besides spending a day with my favorite person ever!" He says, I looked at him unconvinced and he held his hands up, "Okay, you got me! This gives me an excuse to skip school!"
"You skip school all the time!" I pointed.
"Yes but now I have a excuse!" He says.
"For who?"
"For Hiccup who does my homework and class work when im not there, and this gives me something to tell Emma whos always saying I need to be a better person," he says.
I rolled my eyes, "I don't need you here okay I can take care of myself!" I argued.
Jack ignored me and stood up looking around my room. It had a winter theme supporting snowflakes and a lot of blue. He went to my vanity picking up a mint from my mint bowl.
He popped one in his mouth sitting in my computer chair spinning. "So what do you wanna do?" He asked.
"Sleep," I murmured sneezing whipping my nose on my sleeve. Gross I know. But I don't care! Jack rolled his eyes.
"You don't need sleep to make you feel better what you need is a whole day of fun!" He says.
"Colds aren't fun!" I pointed.
"Please I'm the master at fun, an trust me I can make having a cold fun!" He tells me, "we can have a cold day! Get it? Instead of Snow day-"
"Yeah, I got it," I said unamused and unconvinced, "You wanna know what I think would be fun? Sleep! Yes! Its the thing people do when they don't feel well, trust me its exciting!"
Jack glared, "Nope! No sleeping only fun," he stood up grabbing my hand and jerking me to my feet. Sniffing I tried to stay balanced.
I sighed, "Fine, fun it is, but you have to help me decorate from my brothers birthday," I said.
He shurgged, "Okay lets go!" He pulled me out the room way to fast from my own feet. I stumbled as we reached the top of the stairs. Jack let of of my hand and went to one of the upstairs closets. "Do you know what in here?" He asked.
"Sport stuff and things, we keep our outside things in there, like baseball bats, teenis rackets, ice skates, that stuff," I replied.
He pulled out the plastic red sled that been shoved in there. "What are you doing?" I demand, "ahhhjhoo!"
He chuckled at me sneeze, "What do you think were doing?" He asked me setting down the sled by the edge of the steps, "Were Stair sledding!"
I shook my head when he got on the sled, "No! Theres a difference between having fun and destroying my house!"
He looked at me rolling his eyes, "Come on, live a little, this cold could be deadly, you could die, an when I'm standing at your funeral im gonna have no fun memories to say about my wife, all I could say will be , 'she was a bitch and didn't know how to ever have fun!'"
I kicked him, "Take that back!"
"Get on the sled!" He says.
"No! I get on that sled I'll definitely die!" I argued.
"Then we can die together and you won't have to worry about me saying anything at your funeral!" He says.
I sighed sitting down infront of Jack. I peaked over the edge of the steps. I opened my mouth to change my mind but Jack pushed forward and we became to slide down the steps.
The steps made us and the sled bounch making my head rattle. To my surprise we didn't flip we reached the bottom; instead we hit a wall the family picture falling ontop of me and Jack.
The frame came apart. Jack and I laughed untill I began to sneeze again. I paused long enough to look at the smiling family in the corner. Everything look happy and perfect except for me.
The frowning stiff blonde in the corner; me the odd one out. I didn't fit in the picture. I closed my eyes. I watched as Jack stoof up holding the broken picture frame. "Uh E.Q? What should I do with this?" He asked.
I got up slowly hoping the dizziness wouldn't be extremely bad. I took it from him, "I'll fix it later," I then slowly began to walk to the stairs, "Now sinces we lived, were gonna have to go to the store, so I can get Olaf a birthday present."
I had failed to get such a thing my mind had been pretty occupie lately. Jack pouted, "Aw! Can't we stair sled one more time?!"
I chuckled to myself, "No."
When I got upstairs I slipped on a pare of blue slippers grabbing the small purple blanket wrapping it around me. Setting the broken picture frame on my desk I heard Jack yelled for me to hurry.
Giving a slight eye roll I grabbed my purse and keys. Stuffing my phone in my pocket I grabbed a handful of tissues and shoved them in with it. The outside air made me enter a shivering fit.
It wasn't cold but there was a breeze that didn't help my chills. In the car wasn't great either I was glad however when Jack turned on the heat. I could tell that the heat was killing him, however he didn't turn off the heat.
It made my stomach flip knowing he didn't mind sitting in the heat as long as I was warm. I bowed my head a smile spreading across my lips. The silence between us wasn't awkward but it wasn't comfortable.
Jack rubbed behind his neck before turning on the radio. I wasn't sure what was playing not that I cared. I leaned my head against the closed window. I wanted to fall asleep however Jack started to talk.
"So what are you planning to get your brother?" He asked.
I shrugged, "He loves summer, oh and reindeer along with a bunch of other animals, and he also has a strange addiction to carrots," I said, "Im thing of getting him a new sled, winters coming and he loves sledding, plus I thing we might have damaged the sled that we just sled down the stairs in."
When I finished a sneezed Jack handing me a handful of napkins from a fast food restaurant to blow my nose. I blew loudly like a trumpet and became slightly embarrassed when Jack chuckled.
We pulled into the store parking lot without another word. The store was called Oakens. It had some odd things inside along with a sauna. It was a small store but was pack with like everything.
I'd slid out the car shivering at the sudden gush of wind that hit me. "Come one E.Q!" Jack says and I followed behind him into the store. As soon as we stepped in we were greeted by Oaken.
"Yuhoo! Big summer blow out half off swimming suits-" he started.
"Ahhhjwhoo!" I cut him off.
"Where good we will take these tissues though!" Jack says quick paying for some box of tissues on a nearby shelf before opening and shoving the box in my hands. Before I could say thank you, I sneezed again grabbing a tissue.
Jack gave me a corner mouth smile before pulling me through the store. The selfs were lined with random things. From sunscreen and toys to tools and candy. The sleds were in the back there weren't many but there were a couple good ones.
I grabbed ahold of a large wooden one with blue and white snowflakes painted. "What do you think?" I asked Jack but when I turned he was gone. I frowned my eyebrows glancing around, "Jack?... Frost?....EK?" I called my voice creaking and soreness increasing with evey word that escape my lips.
I glanced around again walking slowly by each isle. A shriek busted from me and I dropped the sled on my foot as Jack popped out in a Halloween mask. It was a zombie masked.
Not scary when you actually looked at it still it made my hearts speed up. I hissed in pain as the wooden sled bounced off my foot and land on the ground witha loud clatter. I pressed my lips in a thin line tears burning in my eyes.
Jack removed the mask quickly he looked guilty however was still holding back a laugh. He helped me to sit down on the floor with my throbbing foot. I slid of my slipper to see a light bruise forming already over the tope of my foot.
Before I could yell at Jack I sneezed twice. "Im so sorry E.Q," he says.
Glaring I rubbed my hurt foot, "Sorry doesn't help my foot!"
He laughed a little covering his mouth when I glared harder, "Its not funny, I don't know why I laughed!" He says then laughed again, "Okay you have to admit its a little funny!"
He looked at me and I couldn't help but laugh a little, "No its not!" I denied.
"But you laughed," he pointed and I laughed again.
Sliding my slipper back on Jack helped me up me hissing slightly wiggling my toes. I was sure it wasn't broken still it hurt. Frost then grabbed the sled for me. I was gonna thank him, then however reminded myself he was the one who made me hurt my foot by dropping a sled on it. He should definitely be the one to carry it.
I then grabbed the box or tissue I also dropped before making my way towards the front. Believe it or not I found small toys, clothes and other things for Olaf on the way back. And I made Jack carry them all.
I sneezed at the counter loudly. This time in threes. Jack looked at me in concerned. "Yuwhoo, quite a cold you got there, how about a cold remedy of my own invention?" Oaken offered.
"No thanks," I said.
After I said it I didn't hear Jack tell him, "Will take it."
While we waited to be checked out I looked around glancing out the window frowning my eyes as I spotted a familiar car. It was the ugly green jeep Anna had went off to school. Seeing how it obviously wasn't at the school and here made me knew instantly that this was not Kristoff.
He never ditched school unless of course he was sick or family emergency. I knew this because hes been Annas friend for a long time. An in the time period hes had a car, hes always driven himself and Anna to school.
Curious I stepped so I could get a better look at the car. Force of habit I went over the license plate memorizing each letter and number. I felt like I alreafy knew it though. My lips pressed together as I caught someone or should I say someones coming towards it out of a store with a red door.
Mu breath hitched, I knew the guy, he was my grade red hair side burns. Hans Isles, I believed. He was around my age with twelve older brothers. I was science partners with one of them last year. George. His hair was a light strawberry blonde, and he was gifted with a dreamy hazel eye color.
Ungifted with a nose that loooked like its been broken more than twice. He was a nice guy nefer mentioned his younger troubled brother much. I couldn't remember the other eleven however they all were quite similar in looks atleast there head shape was all quite similar and there ears.
Thr other person I knew very well. Her hair was in braids and she wore a short purple skirt with teal leggings and a long sleeve black and purple shirt. He cowgirl boots slightly to big for her feet.
The disappointment and slight over protective side of me began to rise. "Hey is that your sister?" Jack said a slight laughed, "Guess we weren't the only one who desided to skip today."
If my feeling weren't jumbled and I wasn't sick I would have corrected him and said he was the one who skipped and I had a reason to not go to school. I went for the door however Jack who held all the purchased items dropped the sled on my other foot causing me to yelp.
"Sorry!" He said.
And as I groaned in pain I watched Anna and Han get in the car and them drive off. "Your Jack-ass Overland-Bitch Frost-Fuck!" I cursed.
Jack eyes widen, "I didn't know you had that wide of a potty mouth vocabulary."
I kicked him marching out to the car my head slightly dizzy my feet throbbing with each step. Jack put the presents in the trunk before opening the door and sitting by me. His blue eyes looked into my with a slightest pout.
"Im sorwy," he said it like a child.
I scoffed he was a child. Looking to the window I looked back to him slowly. His bottom lip was pressed out and I had to admit I wanted to kiss him. A blush started to creep up my neck and the sides ofmh mouth hurt from the slightest smile that demand to raises but I pushed it down.
You must stand your ground your angry at him! However it was a accident. No! Jack scared you the first time remember. I sniffed. He did buy me tissues. I kept my eyes on Jack.
"Forgive me," he said. I stubbornly hekd my head up. "Come on E.Q, please?"
I turned my head to look out the window.
"Would you do it for a chocolate bar?"
I piped up turning to see the chocolate bar he heldin his hand. I grabbed it, "Your forgiven!" As I took a bite I commented quickly, "You completely just stoll the whole 'would you do it for' from Scooby-Doo."
"Rut-row!"
------
My head hurt ten times worse than it did earlier. When we got back I went straight to decorating. It was still pretty warm outside and I knew Olaf would want his birthday outside.
I had neatly wrapped Olafs presents setting them on the white table cloth that layed across the picnic table. Closing my eyes I let out another series of sneezes. Jack raised his eyebrow at me but I ignored him. Balloons were everywhere. It took awhile to blow them up. Jack loved helium and obviously sounding like a chipmunk.
"So E.Q I should tell you that Sophie hasn't shut up about you and is dying to see you," Jack tells me.
I smiled sniffing a bit with my clogged nose, "Aww, I miss here to."
I didn't know why but I adored Sophie. On day I wanted a daughter just like her. I told Jack this. An something flickered in his eyes and he said, "Sophies sweet but she like any other little kid, adorable and sweet but underneath the messy hair is a set of horns."
I giggled, "Maybe I'll stop by soon to see her."
"I was thinking maybe you could take Sophie and Emma on a girls day or something with your friends, Sophie would love it and Emma I think she needs so girl time and possibly some time away from Jamie," Jack says, "I swear if they don't separate for atleast a hour there gonna grow together literally."
"That sounds great actually, im not on for girl days, but Rapunzels been begging me and Merida and I need some time with Anna, so I could make it a extremely large group girls day," I said wiping my nose.
As I finished with the last string of streamer I looked at the large birthday sign that need to be hung. I had made Jack bring the ladders. There were two. One for him by the one tree anf one for me by the other.
The sign would hang over the picnic table. "Now what do we do?" Jack asked setting up the last ladder.
My head felt heavy and I felt slightly out of it. My eyes blurred tiredly in and out of focus before going back to normal. I let out another series or sneezes before answering, "Now we climb!" I exclaimed. A shiver raised through me.
Jack frowned, "That might be a little to much, maybe its time for you to rest."
"Oh come on Jack we haven't even really got to our cold day chills," I exclaimed, "I mean thrills."
I climbed to the top of the ladder tying the one end of the banner up. Jack did the same on his side. I smiled at it softly looking over at the white haired boy. He gave a slight smirk, his eyes then widened as I found myself nearly dozing of and slipping from the ladder.
I land on my back losing my breath. Jack came to my side in what felt like slow motion. An I took in a gasp of oxgen. Jack helped me up, "Are you okay?" He asked.
My eyes widen as I pushed Jack away moving with him. I was pretty much ontop of him as the ladder clanked where we once were. I let out a tired, sneeze. I leaned my head on Jacks stomach not caring about the awkwardness.
My head hurt, Jack sat up taking me with him, "I think thats enough for today E.Q," he tells me.
I nodded softly Jack helping me to my feet and to the picnic table. I watched as he put that ladders away and inlet out a sneeze. I leaned my head on my hand. Closing my eyes I shivered.
"Elsa?" I jumped looking at none other than Manny.
I glanced around frantically spotting Jack who stood by the side of the house. Looking as surprised as I was. He pressed his finger to his lips. I looked at Manny. "How may I help you Mr. Frost?"
"I was actually looking for your parents," he says.
"Step parents," I replied, "They should be here soon why would you need to talk to them?"
"There old friends," he said.
I narrowed my eyes before I could say anything Dan showed up Charlotte not to far behind. They always let off for Anna and Olafs birthdays. They did for mine to but they never exactly spent time with me not that I wanted them to.
"Manny hello nice to see you!" Charlotte says she then looked at me, "Elsa shouldn't you be in bed."
I frowned, "I started to feel better decide to decorate," I tell them, "I think Im gonna go to bed right now though, bye Mr. Frost."
____
Manny and My step parents talked outside for what seemed to be forever. Although I didn't know what they were talking about it seemed to have them stressed and determined. Jack sat on my computer chair playing games on his phone.
I had dozed of on my window seat a couple times but woke up ever time to Jack growling at this phone. I sneezed and Jack looked at me meeting my eyes for only seconds.
I looked back out the Window watching as Olaf came around the house after getting on the bus. Anna had arrived a half an hour before and helped move presents and stuff to the picnic table while Manny, Charlotte and Dan stood out of range from Anna and Olaf.
By the time Anna had brought out the cake Jacks dad had left. The cake was blue and white with purple flowers everywhere. I smiled pulling the blanket tighter around me watching my siblings and our step parents.
They looked like a happy family laughing and smiling. My smile faded. I wasn't apart of the family. It was like I didn't exists. When we went places I didn't even look like I belonged.
They'd be happier not having to lug me around. Jack must have noticed my sudden mood change because he took a seat next to me on the other side of the window seat hiding behind the curtain glancing out just barely.
"I know what its like not to feel like you belong, like nobody sees you, to be invisible," he said.
I looked away from my siblings and my adopted parents, to Jack, "You invisible? Yah right K.Q, your to cute to be invisible."
"Aw E.Q, you think im cute!" He says.
I blushed letting out a sneeze, "Uh...well...Why did come here? I mean you skip school all the time you did need a excuse like me, why did you decide to spend a whole day with sick old me?"
I asked this not only to change the subject but because I really wanted to know. Jack gave a shy smile, "In sickness and in health remember," I smiled so bright my cheeks hurt and we entered a period of silence which disappeared quickly when Jack cleared his throat, "Speaking of the who thing, I got you Oakens cold remedy!"
He held up the small bottle. I frowned my eyebrows, "You got me medicine from a nearly complete stranger?"
"Well yah, but it works my...my mom...she used to get this for me when I got a cold," he telled me pain slightly creaking in his voices.
"Thanks, " I said leaning over to squeeze his arm, "could you get me a spoon down stairs second drawer by the sink?"
He nodded getting up and quickly leaving the room. I helped my hand up as if I were going to call him back but my mind went blank. I sighed standing up and walking to my bed sitting down moving back to the head board.
I sniffed pulling the blanket around me. My eyes glanced towards the window I could still slightly see them all. I then glanced to my bed side table at the broken picture frame I carefully pulled it out looking at the small girl off to the side.Me.
I hadn't noticed my tears untill they touched my lips. Slowly I fold the photo so that I was no longer visible. No theres a happy family.
"I got a spoon!" Jack says running and jumping on my bed causing me to bounce. I quickly tuckedaway the picture. Jack stared at me raising his hand to wipe my tears. I was happy he didn't ask what was wrong. Id much rather conceal it within me.
Jack opened the medicine it smelled horrible. He poured it slowly in the spoon. The dark liquid looked awful. He held it towarda me making airplane noises.
"Open wide!" He said in a baby voice. He moved it in a swirly motion and I glared.
"Stop your gonna spill it on my bed!" I exclaimed. Jack quickly stuck it in my mouth. I gaged at the strong soir taste that burned out my nose. "Yuk!"
We then laughed which lighted my heart a little. I then let out a sneeze and yawn. Jack smiled, "I should go, you need rest," he says.
He stood up and I had a sudden rush of disappointment wash over me. I didn't want him to go. "Thanks Jack for a wonderful Cold Day!"
"Anything for you E.Q," he says walking towards the door.
Before I could stop myself I blurted, "You've never been invisible to me," I took a breath, "an for whoever can't see you, I pity them, because you bring fun into the world even when I did believe there could be, you make me believe, Jack Frost."
He smiled, "Thanks Elsa," he says, "You make me believe in something to...myself," he then turned and walked out my door. He then came back, "An I think your cute to E.Q."
He winked and I blushed.
Best cold day ever!
