Snowflakes Fall and So Did I

~CHAPTER 42~

~Elsa~

Aunt Arianna and Uncle Frederick were already waiting for us in the parking lot the night I broke things off with Jack. I had to be quick to act like everything was alright. That I didn't just break up with my boyfriend a couple of minutes before. Boyfriend...is that how I saw him? Is that what he is--was to me? God, we barely even started our relationship. Should it even be considered a breakup? Should I even call him my boyfriend? I suppose it doesn't matter anymore, and perhaps it's better this way.

It wasn't until Rapunzel's parents had gone to bed that they came to me and asked their questions. And of course, their questions were predictable.

"Did you like it?"

"Was that your first kiss ever or your first kiss with him?"

"Would you do it again?"

And of course:

"Why did you get mad and take off? Are you okay?"

And because I promised no more lies and secrets, I told them the truth. All of it. I told them of every single moment I've had with him. What's the point in keeping it a secret anymore?

"Yes, I liked it. No, that wasn't my first kiss with him, but he was my first kiss. Yes, I would do it again in the right setting, and I got upset because I didn't want anyone to know yet. I wanted to keep it a secret for a little bit because I just wanted something for myself for once. Plus, with everything going on with Hans...I really didn't want people to continue to talk about me, even if it was in a positive light this time. So I broke it off."

And of course, they did not take that news lightly. In fact, they started scolding me.

"He's absolutely perfect for you! Are you crazy?"—Anna

"You've got to take him back!"—Rapunzel

Their words only made me feel more guilty.

"I know, but I can't. Not right now." That was all I said, and they wished me luck.

I had also received a lot of text messages from the other girls in our group too, wanting all the gossip.

Alright, I'm not gonna lie. I've been waiting for you two to kiss for a while now, the sexual tension was getting quite annoying, but considering how you reacted I'm gonna assume that you didn't like it. Wanna talk?-- Astrid

So...are we not gonna address that lip-locking action you and Jack did? I don't mean to pry but...I NEED DETAILS!-- Moana

You should have had me punch Jack right in the face, stomach, and balls. You didn't seem happy at all that he did that and I wouldn't have either. Boys need to learn consent and I'm the perfect lass to teach them.-- Merida

Hey...um...do you wanna talk about what happened? Jack won't talk to me or the others. In fact, after you left he took off to find his mom, siblings, and North. It's been hours now and still nothing. Whatever you said to him really hurt him, but his kiss obviously upset you too. Are you doing alright?— Tooth

I wanted to reply to all of them, especially Tooth, but I left them all unanswered until the next morning. Once that morning came along, I answered all their questions.

I did like it, I was just embarrassed. I'm good though.-- To Astrid

All you need to know, Mo, is that I both liked it and hated it. I needed a warning for sure. And a more private room. I'm embarrassed is all.-- To Moana

Lol yeah, I wasn't happy, but while your violence is appreciated, it's not necessary. Thank you though.-- To Merida

I'm doing okay, and there's not much to really say except that I didn't like being kissed in front of everyone. I've told him that before and he still did it. He said it was because he was happy he won and that it was a heat of the moment kind of thing, but also with a mix of jealousy because I kissed Olaf on the cheek. Ridiculous.-- To Tooth
