Jack visits every few months as agreed, and he typically stays the entire day to spend time with me. When I wake up, I only have to wait a few minutes for him to come. I get out of bed quickly to give him a kiss. We then spend the day getting to know each other more. When he does come, I fall for him more and more as the day goes on. When I go to bed, he lays down next to me. Playing with my hair. I would wake up the next morning, feeling a kiss on my cheek. I would smile. But now I'm worried, the next time he visits will be exactly one year since my parents death. What if I lose control?
That morning Anna knocks on my door. "Elsa? Please come out. It's been a year since our parents died, please spend the day with me." I haven't come out at all, not even for her birthday. I've been too upset. "I can't Anna."
"Well sure you can. You just-"
"I said I can't!" I breathe "I'm sorry but I can't."
"Ok Elsa, stay strong. I love you"
"Love you too Anna." I say back. Stupid powers, if it weren't for my powers I wouldn't have to treat Anna like this! I start freaking out and my walls start to freeze. I get out of bed, and floors start to freeze too. Oh no. Jack is going to be here soon I need to calm down. "Elsa? Are you ok?" Jacks asks. "Please just stay away from me, stay away." Ice shoots out of my hand & hits Jack. I stare at him in horror then at my hands, I close my hands, and hold them against my chest. My gloves, where are they?! I see them sitting on my dresser, I run towards it and put them on. I turn around and go to Jack. "Jack, Jack. Are you ok?" I ask frantically, I put his head on my lap. "This is all my fault." I whisper, I put my head on top of his. I make a mess out of everything.
"Elsa?" There's a hand wiping away a tear. "Jack? A-are you ok? I'm so so sorry." He just shakes his head. "Elsa I'm fine, you just knocked me for a couple minutes. You can't really hurt me." Jack tries to reassure me. I shake my head and stand up, I need to get away from him. I can't risk hurting him again. "You need to leave Jack. For good this time."
"What? No I don't. Elsa it was an accident." Jack runs up to me and tries to out his hands on me. I back away, "No please! I don't want to hurt you." I plead, he reaches out to me, "Elsa please. Don't do this, it was an accident." He tries telling me, but I can't. "I-I-I can't. I will not risk hurting you even more."
"There's nothing to worry about." Jack says, his arm still out. "I never told you did I?" I whisper. Jack puts his arm down, "Never told me what?" He asks. "About my nightmare eight years ago. The night when we first met."
"Of course you did. You said it was about the night when you hurt your sister."
"Yes, but that's not all what happened."
"What do you mean?" He asks, I then told him everything that happened. I still have reoccurring nightmares about it. "Elsa that will never happen. It was a nightmare." Jack reaches out to me again, I turn away from him. "Yes but I can't risk that happening to you. I never thought I would hurt you. But I did, just now. Please, I'm doing this to protect you." I start to cry, I hear footsteps behind me. "I will be by your side. Even if you can't tell that I'm there." I feel his breath on my neck, oh how I'll miss him. Jack puts his arms around me, I tense. He whispers in my ear "I will always love you." He kisses my cheek. Then walks away, I turn around & watch him go. Tears streaming down my cheeks. "Jack wait!" I yell out, he turns around. "Yes?" He asks, if I tell him I love him. He won't leave, Jack needs to stay safe. "Be safe. Please." I tell him. Jack walks to me and puts his hands on my cheeks. Wiping away my tears, "Stay strong my snow princess." He says, Jack kisses me, I close my eyes and savor this moment. For it won't happen again, Jack pulls away and whispers in my ear. "I know that you love me." He then turns around and leaves. He knows, I smile at the thought. But now he's gone, I drop down on the floor and start crying. I stay that way for the whole day. I don't get up to eat, drink, or get changed. Jack is gone, because of me.
