Unconditional Love

♥Chapter 14♥

Jack’s POV

I can’t believe Flynn Rider just told me to get away from her. I didn’t want to ruin their relationship, I am not intending to. I just wanted to be friends with her, because I have few friends and she’s different. She makes me laugh, smile, and happy. It’s really ok for me if she chose Flynn, I wanted to be with her. She’ll be forever in my heart for sure, and I just don’t want to forget her.

I decided not to go to school today, because I am thinking about what Flynn told me. I’ll just make an excuse. I don’t know what to do anymore, these bad lucks kept on getting to me. Sometimes, I feel like I regret of not trying to get Rapunzel to be my girlfriend, because I wouldn’t have a problem right now. But, it just happened. I thought that she was the one, because she was the first girl that made my heart pound, I just never thought this would happen to me.

Rapunzel’s POV

I got into my class, everyone was throwing papers. I turned my head up and tried to look for Jack. I can’t find him anywhere, so I went to Merida’s room. Jack wasn’t there too. She was reading book with Hiccup, which I thought was sweet. “Hi,’’ I waved at them. Both of them looked at me and hurriedly scoot away from each other. I giggled as Hiccup was whistling and Merida was just looking up, it was like nothing happened. “Oh, hey Punzie, what’s up?,” Hiccup asked. “Have you guys seen Jack?,” I asked as I sat down with them. “No, he didn’t go to school today,” Merida answered.

 “Oh, how come?,” I asked. I was so curious and worried. “I don’t know, maybe he’s sick or not feeling like going to school,” Merida said. “What do you mean, feeling like not going to school?,” I asked. “Well, usually Jack doesn’t tell us, I was thinking that maybe he has problems, because when we ask him, he doesn’t answer, he even change topics so that he could get away from it, if he is really sick then he would tell us,” Hiccup said. Jack is having problems? I thought he was completely fine, I am worried right now.  “Well, thanks for telling me,” I said. “No problem, hey Punzie, better get to class,” Hiccup and Merida grabbed their bag and left the room.

After class, I decided to pass by Jack’s house. I went there, and knocked on his door. “Jack? It’s me, Rapunzel,” I shouted. I knocked the door two times, but there was no one. I slowly put my hand on the doorknob and turned it. I quietly went inside, and it was all quiet. I called his name, but no one answers. I explored his house to look for him. I looked up and I saw his medals, I looked at it. The medal says that he was best in Skateboarding.

The other one surprised me, he won Chess, first place. I giggled while looking at it closely. I can’t believe that he plays chess. Well, I play chess too, but I wasn’t this good, I pretty suck at it. I remembered that time when I got defeated by three moves. Later, I looked aimlessly at this picture. It was him and this little girl that he was with. I walked towards it and looked at it closely. They were both holding hands, and the little girl was holding her doll. Jack’s hair is brown in this picture, I guess he dyed it. I smiled as I took it, I don’t know who this girl was, but I felt something about this. Something like a connection between her and him, it almost made me cry, but why?

“Punzie?,” I turned back and I saw Jack behind me. “Oh! Jack, I’m sorry…I was just looking for you,” I said. “No, it’s…it’s fine,” he said. I raised my shoulders and looked up. “What are you doing here?,” he asked. “Um…I was going to ask you, why didn’t you go to school?,” I asked. Jack’s face turned sad. “I’m sorry if I asked,” I said. “It’s fine, you deserve to know….um, well…I have lots of problems, I got lot of things going on in my head right now, and I just thought maybe taking a rest for the day will make me fine, but don’t worry, I’m ok now, I’m going to school tomorrow,” Jack said to me. “What things?,” I asked. “I actually can’t tell you, it’s kind of personal,” he said. I can’t believe he told me the truth, I thought Merida and Hiccup said that he wouldn’t answer these kinds of questions.

“Why don’t you tell Merida and Hiccup the truth? They said you kept on changing topics, so that you could get away,” I said. Jack invited me to sit down in the couch. “It’s because…they can’t keep all secrets, just important ones, if I told them this, they would say that it’s not important and I need to tell the truth. I was scared that they might not understand me, that they will tell all of the students and teachers that I only don’t go to school because I am over dramatic,” Jack said. I fell so sad about him. I didn’t know that there was something behind this cool, active, and happy boy. I hold his hand, but he just slides it out, maybe so that he could get away.

“I’m sorry about that, but they’re your friends, I’m sure they’ll understand. Hey…it’s not good if you’re hiding something from someone, especially when it’s actually deep, it makes you uncomfortable and lonely. Remember Jack, I’m here, we’re here for you,” I said. Jack breaths deeply.

“Who’s that girl in the photo?,” I asked. Jack’s eyes was widened. He went back and gets this photo. “She’s my sister, her name was Emma. She was funny, beautiful, and happy. We were both together for a very long time, we are like best friends. We play, dance, sing, and do things together. She was actually scared every night, afraid that a Boogeyman would haunt her dreams. But I always tell her that I am her guardian and I will protect her from the scary Boogeyman. It would make her feel better, I always laid beside her while she sleeps, even if I have my own room.,” Jack said and he sniffs. “Where is she?,” I asked. Jack started to look even more sad.

“There was this time, where we went to Alaska. She was just building a snowman, and I was making dinner. She wasn’t that far away from me. It was almost Christmas that day, I gave her the Easter Bunny doll, so that she would think it will protect her sometimes. I was making the fire, until I saw her bunny, lying in the ground. I ran outside, and shouted out her name, but no one appears. I tried to find her, I even called for help. I never slept a week in that day, I even forced the police to stay at night and find her, I helped them. After three days, I saw her hat, and I cried and shouted. My cry echoes in the mountains, the others can hear it. I don’t care if it was too loud, I kept calling her name, I can’t accept the fact that…she’s gone,” Jack cried as he narrates.

I comforted him, and the story made me cry as well. “I’m so sorry Jack,” I said. “Don’t kept on apologizing. I kept on saying it’s my fault too when she was gone, but it really wasn’t,” Jack said. “Any ideas of what happened to her?,” I asked. “Well, I thought that maybe she became lost, or someone might have taken her,” Jack said. “Did you…tell Merida and Hiccup?,” I asked. Jack nodded to me. “Yea, but it was a very long time, they probably forget it by now, but I will never,” Jack said. “Me too,” I said. He looked at me and gave me a smile. “I need to go Jack,” I said. “Yea, sure go ahead,” Jack said. We both stood up and he wiped his tears. “You know Jack…your sister should have been great,” I said. “Yea, I think she’ll be great, even though sometimes she rides and jumps in my back,” Jack smiled. “Ok, goodbye…and I promise, I won’t tell anyone about this,” I said. “Thanks,” Jack said. We both shake hands and I left the house.

I went in my car and drove it. I kept on thinking about Jack, it seems like I am getting closer to him. I can feel this emotion I have in him. I think Jack and me have something in common too.

I went home and Flynn welcomes me. “Hey Rapunzel, how was your day?,” Flynn asked. “Well, it’s been great, by the way…Jack didn’t went to school today,” I said. “You have to be careful in that guy,” Flynn said. That actually made me confused. “Careful? He’s not a bad, he’s nice to me,” I said. ‘’Well, I am just concerned, I mean…now that you’re my girlfriend, other guys might still try to get you from me,” Flynn said. “Are you telling me that I should get away from Jack because you think that he likes me?,” I asked. “Not only that, because he kept on getting closer to you, and I am just afraid you might forget me, I’m sorry,” Flynn said. “No, it’s ok…I understand your concern, I need to take some rest now,” I said. “Ok, tomorrow we’ll be on set,” Flynn said.

I went to my bed and tried to rest. There are lots of things that I didn’t know about Jack Frost. I think that I should get to know him more, I don’t care if Flynn told me to get away from him, but I think that I need to be closer to him, because I can feel something about Jack. He is that kind of guy that doesn’t have a really close friend that he can talk to. He can’t tell Merida and Hiccup about his personal problems is that because maybe he just don’t feel like telling them because he’s scared. But I am going to be his best friend if I have too. He is hiding his feelings, and I am going to let it all out, plus…he is all alone.
