Corpse Bride (Jelsa)

Chapter 4: Tear To Shed

Chapter 4: Tear To Shed

    Elsa was right, the bar was empty as Jack walked in to wait for her. He couldn't shake the feeling that he knew Elsa, somehow. There was something in her eyes that made it feel like they meet before. Jack shook his head as he walked in more to see a piano in the middle of the room. Jack sigh happily as he walked over to it, finally something he was familiar with. Jack touched the keys as he sat down taking a deep breath and start to play the song he wrote for the ocean eye girl. He closed his eyes thinking about the first time he saw her, ever since he got into this world, he started to see her face more and more. But all he saw where her eyes and her lips, everything else was covered in darkness, like it was a puzzle still being built.

    He remember that he was in piano class and he didn't want to be there, he didn't want to be where his mother sent him. But the minute he heard a piano play, he was drawn in, wanting to play it more. Then... He found out who was playing, the ocean blue eye girl. It was like her fingers were moving on their own as she played. After that, she became Jack's partner, to help him learn to play, to read the music, to write his own music. It was strange to have a girl play the piano but he was happy she was there. And he was lucky enough to get his first kiss from her. She even said she loved him, and he said it back. She was Jack's first true love.

    But not long after, she was taking out of class, he never knew why, where she went or what her name was. To him, she was just the ocean eye girl, his first love, and the woman he wanted to marry. Even at a young age, he wanted to marry that girl.

    Jack was so lost of the memory, the music he was play he didn't hear anyone come in behind him until he heard the other side of the piano play. He opened his eyes and looked to see Elsa next to him play. Jack smiled seeing her next to him as he started to play faster seeing if she could keep up. And she did. Elsa didn't miss a beat as she locked eyes with Jack. The minute Jack saw her eyes again, the piece of this puzzle finally came together.

    Jack didn't see the corpse bride with the blue skin, skeleton left hand and gray/blue eyes. He saw ocean blue eyes with snow blonde hair and cherry red lips with soft white skin. Elsa was Jack's dream girl... His first love. Jack stop playing as he places his hand on his lap trying to take it all in as Elsa followed. "Are you okay?" She ask. But Jack didn't say anything he just kept looking at her still in amazed that he found her. "Where did you learn to play?" She ask trying to break him form the spell he put himself in.

    Finally he shook his head, "What?" He ask making her laugh, "I asked where did you learn to play the piano?" She ask again. "Oh... At a small school in my hometown." He says. "Oh, same." She says with a smile but Jack already knew that. "But my mother made me quit not long after I started." She says making Jack raise an eyebrow, "Why?" He ask. He could tell she was nervous now, "Oh.. it's so silly. I meet this boy there... We got close and he..." Elsa says as she sees Jack moving closer to her. "Funny, I meet a girl in my class too. And I got very close to her." He says brushing her arm alittle with his finger. "And you know, you kind of look like her, but an older version of her." He says making Elsa stand still as Jack touch her cheek.

    "Did you ever get his name?" Jack ask. "No... Just his last name." She says her hands shaking. "Which is?" He ask grabbing her hand, he wanted to be right, he wanted this to be the girl. Elsa took a deep breath, "Frost." She whisper making Jack smile as he moves his lips to hers, god he missed her. He pulled back placing his forehead on hers, "It really is you." He says "You're the boy? How... How could I forget that?" She ask making Jack shrug, "We were kids then Elsa, I didn't remember you either until now." He says making Elsa laugh, "I don't know how I could forget hair like yours though." She giggles touching Jack's hair making him smile, he was so happy. "I didn't know you were still around." She says remember that day they kissed under a white piano while everyone else was outside waiting form their families, she loved him so much then. Jack pulled back to look at her again, to see the corpse again. "God Elsa, why did this happen to you?" Jack ask as Elsa lend her head on his hand, "Bad luck I guess." She giggles but Jack didn't want to laugh, he was to upset to laugh.
