Chapter 17- Truth Revelations

Jack-

I didn't understand. What has my mother been hiding from me? What did Cordelia mean that my father was the key to breaking my spell? All these questions and yet, no answers. I couldn't ask my mother. She wouldn't hear of it. She would always say that my father is dead, to her at least. He moved to California after he left us.

Nothing I could ever do would make her sit down and talk to me about him. All I know about him is this; Samuel Ryan Overland is an important music producer and former CEO of Frost Enterprises. He is 39 years old and is married to a 27 year old rising actress. I got all that from Google. My father must be living the high life in California. What bullshit.

I felt soft small hands rubbing my shoulders. I turned slightly to see Elsie sitting and watching me as she massaged me. She smiled slightly and I sighed.

"I'm sorry Snowflake." Her eyebrows furrowed with confusion at my apology. "What are you sorry about?" She asked as she stopped massaging my shoulders and grabbed my hand in hers. I squeezed it and looked into her icy blue eyes. "You need help with your sister and I'm here, not doing anything to help you."

She laughed, her sweet soft laugh, and closed her eyes. "No, it's okay. You found out that your mom is hiding things from you. You shouldn't have to apologize for that Jack." She opened her eyes and smiled.

I smiled back and chuckled, "You're right." I leaned in and stared at her beautiful icy blue eyes. I looked down at her perfect pink lips and slowly closed the distance between our faces. Our lips met and the fireworks exploded like they always did whenever I was around her. There was only one thing on my mind.

I'm so lucky to have this beautiful girl in my life, and she's mine.........

Elsie-

All this couldn't possibly be happening. I still doubted the fact that Jack and I were together. Someone as wonderful as him with someone as screwed up as me together seemed like a twisted fantasy. A twisted, yet sweet fantasy. We were still kissing when a knock at the door made us jump. He groaned and I giggled.

I stood up and opened the door to reveal my Aunt Primrose and, my Uncle Collin? I was confused as to why they were both here. Uncle Collin Corona, CEO of Corona Corporations, is a very handsome man with blonde hair and blue eyes. Last I heard, he and Aunt Primrose were ready to divorce each other.

"Hello Auntie and Uncle. What can I do for you?" I asked as I looked behind me at Jack who was watching me. Uncle cleared his throat and I turned to see his arm hanging off of Auntie's shoulder, hand intertwined with hers. "Elsa dear, my you've grown up to be quite a stunning young lady. Much like your mother." He said as he smiled.

I smiled back and said, "Thank you Uncle."
"Could we come in Elsie dear?" Asked Auntie. I mentally scolded myself for not thinking of that. "Oh right. Where are my manners? Come in, come in." I moved out of the way and they walked in. Auntie sat down and Uncle looked at Jack.

"Uncle, this Jack, my boyfriend. Jack, this is my Uncle Collin." I introduced them and Jack stood up to shake my uncle's hand, which he gladly returned. We sat down, the tension and awkwardness filling the room. Jack fiddled with my fingers and Uncle jiggled his leg.

"Um, Elsie. There's something I need to tell you." Said Auntie. I looked at her and waited. She glanced at Uncle and he smiled at her and grabbed her hand, gently squeezing it. She took a deep breath and began. "Well, a few days ago I recieved a phone call. A man claiming to be your father said he was coming from Russia to Tromsø. He plans on taking you and Anna with him to Russia to live with him. So you guys could be a family again. I didn't believe him so I hung up and did some research. Your father is indeed alive and living in Russia."

"How can that be? My father died when Anna and I were kids. Mother told us so. She said he died of a heart attack." I said, clenching my hands, not realizing that Jack was still holding my hand.

"Your mother told you a lie Elsa," said Uncle. "Your father is very much alive." I stayed quiet and let the fact that my father was still alive sink in. Slowly, I shook my head and stood up. "I don't believe you." With that, I grabbed my bag and ran outside. I didn't know where I was headed, but I knew I had to get away.

Again.......
