2 days left (of the trip) (in case you didn't know) (haha) (not counting this one) (the day I mean)
Elsa
"Alright everybody, so today we'll be meeting with Cinder Shoes to talk about a new product. After that we head back to the hotel and do whatever. Tomorrow is another meeting but after tomorrow we will be seeing the Eiffel Tower. Also there will be the party held at the hotel and we'll leave by the next morning" I read off my chart. I take a seat next to Ariel and sigh. She offers me a small smile and I smile back. I'm exhausted, I couldn't sleep last night and the last thing i want to do is work.
We arrive at the company and I prepare myself for the two hour meeting.

"So do we have a deal?" Ella, the owner of the company asks."It's up to my father really" I didn't want to make a mistake and partner with the wrong company.
"But you're going to take over the company aren't you?"
"Yes but-"
"I think that you should be able to sign it if you want to"
"Uh, I-" I take a deep breath and close my eyes. "Send the papers to my dad, he's the owner" I say and walk out with my group. I get in the bus and Ariel immediately asks questions.
"What was that? We could loose the deal. With all do respect but you seemed-"
"I know" I interrupt her. "I know" I'm taking over the company once I marry Kristoff. It's too much responsibility, I'll end up destroying my parent's name. They'll disown me. I can't do it!
On the way back to the hotel the thought stays glued to my head. I will disappoint my parents, I will destroy the company along with Kristoff's. We get to the hotel and I quickly go to my room. I sit on my bed continuing with the same thinking. I am going to ruin my parents' name. I hear a knock on the door. I don't bother answering. My breathing is heavy and I feel lightheaded.
I hug my knees and rock myself back and forth. Another knock on the door and I ignore it. My mind is spinning and the door slowly opens. Jack appears and I look up at him. "I-I heard you breathing heavily and- I had the emergency key-Elsa?" He notices that I continue with the heavy breathing.
He walks over and hugs me and I hug back. "It's okay" he says and pets my hair. I slow down but instead of completely stopping I begin crying. "Uh" I pull away and wipe my tears away.
"I'm sorry" I say. "An anxiety attack" he mouths 'oh' while nodding.
"Why?"
"Life?" I sniff. "The company?"
"Okay, hope you feel better. Just-take it easy" he puts a hand in my shoulder but quickly takes it away. He turns to go it the room.
"Thank you, I'm glad you came in" he turns back.
"Yeah, sure anytime" I wipe my nose.
"I'm just stressed out. Taking over he company and this trip isn't at all what I planned-"
"What were you planning?" He asks curiously.
"I-I just thought that-"
"Thought that I would be all over you? So you could just kiss me and leave, because that makes you feel better"
"No. Just-I wasn't-"
"Look Elsa, I've been through this before. With you as a matter of fact. At some point you're going to have to decide. Me or the company" he was about to walk out but I stop him.
"Look, I am trying my best to not love you but you took over my mind at some point and now I am here which makes it even harder. I don't want to love you because I know it'll physically kill me if I can't be with you while in love. So please, stop helping-stop blanking this on me because I would've been fine if you hadn't kissed me that night" a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"You love me?" He asks walking closer.
"No, stop. I know what you're thinking" he reaches for my hand. "You need to leave, I'm serious you really do"
"Shut up"
"What? You-"
"Shut up, will ya?" He leans in and I lean in but I stop and pull back at the last second. "I need to rest. I've got a headache" I pull my hands away and he nods.
"See you tomorrow"
"Y-yeah. Please go"
Jack
I lay back on my bed just thinking of what had just happened. She had an anxiety attack, told me she loved me and then told me to leave. That attack was probably because of me. After this trip I'll leave the company, this'll give me enough money to start out in Africa. Oh yeah, I'm moving to Africa. I 0never liked this company or business stuff. I'm going there to do what I like to do help people, especially children. At least Elsa won't ever have to see me again, I screwed up, big time. if only we had stayed friends.
I would be happy for her, I'd help her with planning the damn thing. The point is, I'm not just a friend, no matter how much I wish I was.
Anna
"This one? Nah" I shake my head and throw the blue blouse. "This is cute" I say holding up a dress. "A little too cute, I need something mature" I say to myself.
"Hello?" I hear someone say from downstairs. "Anybody home?" I quickly grab my dads baseball bat which conveniently was in my room. I put on a snow hat and caustically walk out.
"Stay back! I'm warning you-I'm armed!"
"Jeez this child still lives here?" I finally recognize the voice and look down from the railing.
"SUSIE!" I shout and let go of the bat. I take off the hat while running down and hug her. She laughs and hugs back.
"Hello dear"
"Oh my gosh, how are you? How was the surgery?" I say leading her towards a chair. Susie recently had surgery, she's been out for a while but I'm pretty sure she's fine since it was on her leg.
"It was good, I should be back in a couple of weeks"
"What are you doing here?"
"I heard Elsa was back in town and I had to see her"
"Oh, well I'm sorry but she's in Paris"
"You look nice"
"Thanks, going on a date soon. Well not a date more like a hangout with a guy"
"Who?"
"Um, Kristoff.."
"Elsa's fiancé? Anna you-"
"I know, but she's not here and I knew him before. I'm just showing him around and.."I trail off knowing she's not believing me. I was expecting her to have a disappointed look on her face but instead she smiles.
"Let's go fix your hair"
