Save Me ~ A Jelsa Fanfic

E L S A

I woke up the next morning cuddled into Jack's arms. He must've been awake before me because I opened my eyes to see his bright blue ones staring back at mine.

"Good morning beautiful" Jack said smirking. I mouthed a 'morning' back to him before turning to get my phone. I looked at the time, noticing that it was 10:24. I pulled myself out of Jack's embrace and got out of bed. I grabbed some clothes and headed to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and hair before changing my clothes.

I looked down at my arms and noticed that the bandages that covered my arms needed changing. I looked underneath the sink for some bandages. Once I found some, I unwrapped the dirty ones and placed the clean ones around the wounds. I was careful to not hit any of the cuts and not focus on them. I didn't want to start thinking about them.

I looked at myself in the mirror before heading back to Jack's room. I looked tired. There were bags under my eyes and skin was pale. My eyes looked brighter than they had looked a couple days ago. The fact that my friends came over and surprised me like that made me smile to myself. I never realised how having friends could make me feel like I'm worth something.

I must've been thinking pretty deeply because I didn't realise Jack was standing at the door until he broke the silence.

"What's got you so giddy?" He said laughing at my surprised expression. I just shrugged and gave him a small smile. He smiled back and grabbed my hand. He took me downstairs to the kitchen. I sat at the table while Jack got himself some cereal.

I sat beside him as he ate. I contemplated this for a couple minutes before tapping Jack on the shoulder and handing him my phone. He read what I typed out on my phone before turning to me and smiling.

Can I have some fruit please?

That was the first time I had asked for food. His expression made my heart melt. He had this elated look on his face which was like he was trying to say 'I'm proud of you' without actually saying anything.

"Of course" Jack said in a quiet voice. As he went into the kitchen to get me some fruit, i started to think about what I had just asked. Do I really want this? Do I really want to eat? I've decided that I want to get better. I want to be healthy. I want to be happy.

Jack brought back a bowl of some apples, pineapple, grapes, and blueberries. I nodded towards him and took the bowl and fork from his hands. I sat the bowl down in front of me and looked at it for a moment. After internally battling myself, I picked up an apple and brought it to my mouth. I slowly ate it before swallowing. I forgot how much I loved fruit.

I slowly started eating the rest of the fruit until it was gone. I didn't realise Anna and Jack's mom had walked in. I looked up from the bowl with all three of them looking at me. I instantly felt insecure and looked back down. I suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I jumped slightly before realising it was Jack. I hugged him back and then felt two more pairs of arms wrap around me.

"Good job Elsa" I heard Jack's mom whisper in my ear. We all loosened the hug and Anna taped me on the shoulder.

"Can I talk to you?" She asked a bit nervously. I nodded and took my bowl to the sink before following Anna to her room. She closed the door once we were both in the room and sat on the bed. I followed her actions and waited for her to speak.

"Are you okay?" She asked quietly. Before I could answer, she kept talking.

"Like, really. How are you? How have you kept all of this a secret for so long? I should have known something was wrong. I'm so stupid for not seeing how broken you were. I should have been there for you. You were always there for me. God, I'm such a horrible sister. Why didn't you ever tell me about this? I could have helped. I'm such and idiot-"

I grabbed Anna's face in my hands before she could continue. She was crying and I hated seeing her like this. I gave her a hug and let her cry into my shoulder. After a couple minutes, she had calmed down and I pulled away from the hug. I pulled my phone out and started typing.

I'm sorry I never told you. I thought you wouldn't believe me or you would hate me. I wouldn't know what to do if you hated me. I guess now I have to fill you in. Well, it's been happening for a couple years. Dad started abusing me and I don't know why. He would rape me and call me names. He would do it often. I would end up sitting in the corner of my room in a ball of tears trying to forget about everything that he would do to me. Other nights I would lay emotionless in my bed waiting for death. I started to self harm to take my mind off the pain. It kind of got out of control. I also stoped eating because of the things that he said to me. It wasn't until I met Jack that I felt the kind of love that I felt when I was younger. After you found out about dad, I didn't know how you would react. But you stayed by my side all this time. I love you for that. You are the best sister I could ever ask for.

After Anna read what I typed, she started crying again and hugged me. We sat like that for what felt like forever before we pulled apart.

"I love you sis."

"I love you too" I said back to her. We both had a shocked look on our faces. It was very raspy, but I spoke. I actually spoke.

"JACK! ELSA SPOKE" Anna exclaimed, startling me a bit. We heard running before Jack burst through the door.

"Really?" Jack said panting slightly. I nodded and laughed at him. He looked so exasperated. It was cute.

Jack tackled me in a hug and kissed me all over my face. I laughed at his actions. Once he stopped I sat up and looked at the two people sitting beside me. I grabbed both of their hands before speaking again.

"Thank you."
