Elsa POV

Annas death was maybe the hardest thing ever.

I didn't go to school.

I didn't talk to anyone.

I just sat in my empty house.

I didn't cry

I didn't ask God why he did this to me.

I didn't do anything.

I just sat there. In Annas room.

Five days after her death, I heard a knock at the door. Jack had been coming every day and giving me the homework. I did it. I just didn't put any effort in it. Jack would sometimes stay and sit there with me. His eyes rimmed with a blood red from crying. We didn't say anything for hours. Then at one point he would just leave. I had called my parents and told them. They didn't say much. And they were coming home today. I went to the door and opens it just barely to see who it was. 

"...Hi." Kristoff said quietly.

I opened to door and hugged him as we both cried.

After a moment we walked in, sniffling and trying to hold back the tears.

"Can I get you a drink or a snack?" I said to Kristoff. It was the most I had said in the last 3 days combined.

"Do you have any coffee?" Kristoff said.

I nodded and walked into the kitchen. Kristoff followed. I made the cups of coffee and we both sat at the table in silence.

A sudden thought came to my mind that I had to ask.

"What made you love her?" I asked him.

Kristoff raised his head. He seemed to already have the answer ready.

"Everything. She didn't have a signle fault." He answer quietly.

I nodded my head and looked out the window. 

After a moment of of silence he asked all of a sudden

"Why did you shut her out?" he asked. 

I looked at him. I could tell he went through so much these last few days. Kristoff knew about my powers and the whole story on how I struck Anna in her head. 

"I was afriad. I was afriad that I would kill her." My lips felt dry. "I wanted to make sure she saw her wedding day. Her graduation. If it wasn't for me...." I trailed off.

Kristoff took my hand. "Don't you dare say it was your fault for her death." He said to me.

I stayed quiet.

"Elsa," He started. "Don't blame yourself. I invited her to that party. It should be my fault. I freaked out and I knew I could have saved her. The fault is all mine."

I looked at him. Did he really think that Annas death was his fault? "Kristoff!" I raised my voice. I was going to say more but my throat got caught. Tears started to overflow in my eyes. I lowered my head and closed my eyes.

We sat there, Kristoff and I. Neither saying a word. Just like Jack, Kristoff got up and left me staring into space. I didn't really care that they left. I must have fallen asleep at the table because when I woke up Jack was carrying me upstairs. The sun was just starting to go down. I raised my head and looked at him. He almost looked like a zombie. His eyes facing forward, body stiff, he was almost frozen. He didn't notice I was awake. I closed my eyes. When he laid me down on my bed he started to walk out. 

"Jack?" I whispered to get his attention.

He turned to look at me. Lately he had been trying to smile to lift my spirits. Today he didn't.
