First Time We Met (COMPLETED)

Never Ending End

 Rapunzel's POV:

 " I'll take you back home." Jack told me, offering a hand. I didn't want to take his hand. I can't believe we're going to leave each other again. Well, at first he's the one who left me. Now, we're going to leave each other at the same time, same place, same day. Time happens faster than I thought. And I don't like this to end.

     I took his hand, hoping that all the thoughts inside my head were lies. I know he would see me, in my tower singing or doing something because, I now trust him. Completely.

      So we went out of Powl and back to the Kingdom. I felt warm when I was with him. It was like never before but, it was magical. He seems magical. I wanted to tell him how much I loved to see him every day, 24/7, but, I think he wouldn't want that. I don't mind if we stay as friends forever. 

     " Jack,"

    " Yeah?"

    " I'll miss you."

   " Me too."

        I close my eyes and thought for a while. Could I just say to him that I love him? Well, it's a little bit awkward if I confess. But, it'll be more awkward if I keep it to myself and remain in the tower forever. Some day, he'll save me and I know it.

     " Rapunzel, we're back." Damn! I will never see him again. Sometimes I would but, can I just be with him a little longer? We landed to the ground, and I was still closing my eyes. " RAPUNZEL!" I opened my eyes. " Are you excited?" " No. It's just for the best." I know he can't face me. He's weak deep inside and I can feel it. He can't do it. He quickly went off and I was all alone now. Keep your promise, Jack Frost.

Winter, December 18, In my tower

        " Rapunzel, you're in charge of this tower until summer! I'm growing old and the weather here doesn't suit me!" Mother left me in the tower. That means I can do whatever I want! This is unbelievable! Ha ha! I love winter! I love the cold! I love..... Jack Frost. I sat on the chair in front of the mirror. My chamellion, Pascal tried to entertain me but I just can't smile. Why didn't Jack visit me months ago? Did he forgot his promise? It's impossible.

          A sudden breeze came from the window. " Gosh it's so cold!" I stood up from the chair and went to the window. It was so cold. I closed the window and lit a candle then placed it on the center of the floor. I turned to the mirror. It was the air moist from a while ago. There was finger writings on it. It read, " I'm back for you." Tears streamed down my face. He waited for winter to visit me again! I looked around. Jack wasn't there. I sat on the chair and someone poked me. I looked back. Jack kissed me! Oh God, I had my first kiss with a guardian!

        I backed away. " Aren't you happy to see me again?" he asked. I walked towards him. " Yes! But, being poked on the back and kissed on the lips had me goosebumps!" He laughed. I touched my lips. It was warm though. I sat on the chair and we started talking. " Why did you wait for winter? You can have visited me during spring, fall, summer, why winter?"

       He sighed. " It's the only season where I can go out. You know, snow day?" That's right! He's guardian duty. " That's pathetic." I replied. I became sad all of a sudden. Why would Jack just visit during winter? Why not my time of the year? Spring?!

      " Are you cold? Sorry about that." he apologized. What is he apologizing for? I'd love that kiss he gave me! " Don't worry about it. I don't actually mind." We looked at each other. " You wanna go out?" I stood up and nodded. He offered me a hand again and we went outside the window. " This is so fun!" I shouted high in the air. It was magical. 

      We spent our day and night there in the wind's care. " When will you come again?" He chuckled. I don't need chuckling Jack! I need a real answer. " Next winter maybe, or some other holiday." He looked at me. I was disappointed. " Why not just everyday?" " That can't be Rapunzel. You know what happened right?" Curse these stories! I don't want to live all alone in the tower, especially now that my mother has total secure of me. 

      " I hate how our worlds go. Why can't we make our own story? The story that would be discovered as a legend, and a story to tell?" Jack looked at me. I know it was a bad idea but, it sounded fun and never ending. " Rapunzel, do you love me?" I blushed. I can't tell! It's so awkward. " Ye-yeah." I answered honestly. I can't look at him with his blue eyes, it just sparkled.

       " You didn't confess, but I asked, so I owe you one." I still didn't look at him. I think he's going to say, I accept you as a friend and nothing more! But, I was startled once he said these words: " At first I thought you were my rival, but it turns out I like you, no more than that, I love you." We had the same feelings for each other. Guess this is what they call destiny. 

         " Can you hug me?" he requested. I smiled and then hugged him. We slid right through his side. We were falling from the sky and we didn't seem to care. What's important is that we're together, forever as something more than friends.

      " Will you do me a favor?" Jack requested again. I nodded at him. He pulled me closer. " Say goodbye to me." What the..? Of course I wouldn't say that! We just had each other now, and we knew that we love each other, now you wanna leave me again? " No!" I exclaimed. " Rapunzel, always remember that I won't leave you. Trust me." Still, I didn't spoke. I never wanted to leave him again nor he would be the one doing the leaving thing. " Just remember, the first time we met, I had always loved you." We fell into the sea. We never tried to let go of each other the time. If we drown to death, so be it. At least we'll die loving each other and we'll die together.

       Next morning, I woke up on the shore. Jack was in front of me, smiling. " You, waited for me." He nodded and then kissed me. I embraced him. It was the best feeling ever. I knew I could trust him. " I thought you were dead. I began to lose hope." " I'll never die as long I'm with you." I giggled. He moved aside so I can stand up. You see, he was on top of me.

     " Still winter?" I asked him. He shook his head. " You mean, you stayed here until morning for me?!" " Pretty much." he replied. Maybe, it happened to be true love. " Let's take you home. Off to Pole for Christmas holiday. It's North's time." I smiled. " Well, at least help him deliver gifts." We both laughed. " Don't worry I won't be bringing any gifts for you." OK, Jack Frost, no jokes. I want a gift! At least new paint. " Cause, I'll be your gift." That struck me. He'll be my gift? Well, he's my world now to become mine. Love, it is felt by those who believe in it. Like Jack Frost, I see him, hear him, and I can feel him. That's why I love him.
