Winters Revenge

Chapter Nine-Time Out.

Time: 6.00pm.   Location: Tiffney's Room. 

Jack angrily swiped the spare key card against magnetic lock that he'd taken from his pocket as he stormed into the room that wasn't his. He saw Tiffany painting her toenails on the small sofa and stool, she looked up as she caught his mood while he opened the fridge and took a cold beer from inside. Jack walked over to the small grey sofa planting himself next to Tiffany who looked back down to what she was doing.

Tiffany "Well you seem more pissed off than usual what happened?" she asked.

Jack "Don't start." He said taking a swing of his beer.

Tiffany "I was only asking. You going to tell me or not?"

Jack sighed heavily taking another sip of his beer as it soothed his thoughts that were running wild with anger.

Tiffany "It's true isn't it?" she asked putting the lid on the nail polish.

Jack "Is what true, what did you hear? More rumours." He rolled his eyes.

Tiffany "Is it true that someone called Elsa is back?" she asks.

Jack "Yeah its true...." He sighed.

Tiffany "I take it this is why your in a bad mood? Is it someone else you used to sleep with?" she giggles.

Jack "No....it wasn't like that; she was my best friend until.... she moved away..."

Tiffany "So what you guys didn't stay in touch or something?"

Jack "Not really, she disappeared and never kept in contact and now with her being back.... I don't really know what to do."

Tiffany "Why don't you tell me what happened and talk it through."

Jack "Its just awkward that's, she seems like a completely different person and yet when I look at her she looks scared. And not to mention her attitude you should have seen her throwing things and breaking things, and you refuses to answer any questions or believe that Black is a bad guy." He takes a sip of his beer.

Tiffany "I'm surprised you haven't talked to Hiccup about this."

Jack "What makes you think I haven't? he practically ran after me, and I just couldn't be bothered with the whole situation." He said throwing an arm around her as she moved closer.

Tiffany "I think maybe you should calm down and think about this, there obviously a reason for her behaviour and I think when she calms down too and has finally answered some questions maybe you guys should sit down and talk."

Jack "Maybe"

Tiffany "Prehab's your angrier than normal because she means more to you than you led on." She smiles.

Jack "I don't know..." he trails off.

Tiffany "By the way have you heard the new rumour?" she asks chuckling slightly.

Jack "What is it now?" he grins.

Tiffany "Apparently were going out."

Jack "Yeah we definitely aren't." he rolls his eyes.

Tiffany "Well I know that! and to be fair if everyone knows we hook up sometimes there's bought to be rumours."

Jack "Yeah well I know that, anyways I thought you were seeing Agent Bunny?" he asks.

Tiffany "On and off, I don't know he seems quite needy sometimes."

Jack "And you aren't?" he snickers.

Tiffany "Hey!" she playfully hits him.

Jack "You know its true." He grins again.

Tiffany "Anything else you want to get off your chest?" she asks seriously.

Jack "Nah, I should probably go check on her anyways." He says downing his drink.

Tiffany "Jack come on, I know we're just hook up buddies but, you know you can come talk to me about anything."

Jack "I guess I'm just scared." He plays with the beer bottle ripping the paper label of it.

Tiffany "Scared of what?" she looks at him watching his body language changing from the confident person she knew to quiet.

Tiffany "Okay what aren't you telling me?" she stared at him sternly.

Jack "Nothing" he shook his head.

Tiffany "Nothing? So why are you scared then?" she folded her arms.

Jack "I....." he cuts himself off.

Tiffany "Okay this isn't normally like you since when is Jack Frost quiet?"

Jack "I'm scared.... that because she's back I might catch feeling for her again...." He looked up from the bottle staring up at his friend.

Tiffany "Ahhh I had a feeling. So, you liked her back then too huh?" she smiled.

Jack "Yeah... a lot actually I was just too chicken to tell her." He looked back down at the floor.

Tiffany "So what if she realises that Black is the bad guy and starts knowing that this is a place she's protected in, maybe sometime in the future we might reconnect, and you could finally tell her how you feel?"

Jack "But what if all that does happen and I do start feeling something for her again and she doesn't feel the same way?" he asks.

Tiffany "That's a risk your going to have to take Jack." She shrugged.

Jack sighed a loud sigh; he stands up from the small sofa and looks down at Tiffany with a smile.

Jack "Thanks Tiff, I'll take the advice on board, but I should probably go check on her now." He says quickly walking towards the small bin and throwing his bottle away.

Jacks fingertips touch the handle of the door pulling on it as he walks out the open door and closing it behind him.
