I feel nice, so here's an update! If I feel even NICER and this gets VOTES, more will be coming EVERYDAY!

Did I mention that this is also for Begin Again? :>

Video on the side is by Frozenlovex

Edit is by me... as normal, like what the heck is new?

UPDATE: Jack's sister is Mary Jane... I forgot that I already gave that girl a name lol

"When you look at me... I start to blush"

Twelve: And This Is How It Starts

Elsa

"Great.", I muttered under my breath as I sat down on the floor. Jack eyed me suspiciously.

"I'm sure we'll get out here soon.", he said with a small smile. "Are you claustrophobic?"

"No...", I said with the same smile. "I just have a lot of things to do."

He looked to the side and smiled, "I'm sure you can do it."

"How about you?", I asked... starting out an awkward conversation. "Do you have something else to do?"

"Nope.", he smiled again. "I just want to finish Frozen Free Fall on my laptop."

My eyes lit up, "You play that too?"

"Yeah, I just started yesterday when I saw you playing it on your phone.", he shrugged.

"Stalker!", I giggled, and he laughed along.

Somebody's in a good mood.

Jack gave me another heart melting smile and sheepishly turned away. 

I actually have never realized how cute he is...

Okay, maybe not just cute... maybe he was a little gorgeous...

Just a little.

The dim light shone through his hair, and made it look so shiny... something like tin foil. His eyes were so blue that I think I could see the sea right through it.

"Are you okay?", he asked me, tilting his head.

I blinked, "Oh, yeah... I am."

He gave me a smirk, "I thought you got lost in my face already..."

"I wasn't-", I reasoned out.

"It's okay", he laughed. "I kinda got lost in your face, too."

My eyes popped out, and I can feel heat rushing to my cheeks.

"Just kidding.", he laughed again.

I turned away...

So, it was all just a joke? He really didn't look at me?

Dammit Elsa. You know this shouldn't happen ever again. 

I mentally slapped myself. 

But I had this weird lingering feeling of sadness when he said that... like it was all a joke...

Jack

Elsa turned away from me, the moment my mouth left those words. The glint in her eyes disappeared.

Crap, Jack. Why do you always have the nerve to hurt girls?

I opened my mouth to say an apology but,

SHUSH! You're just gonna make it worse!

The elevator suddenly gave off a bright chime and started moving upwards.

Elsa lifted her head up, and rose from the floor, "It's moving again!"

"Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience.", the speakers said.

She grabbed her sketch pad as the doors opened.

"Hey, wait.", I said. 

She looked back at me.

"Do you want to...", I started out, rubbing the back of my neck. "Do you wanna have lunch with me?"

"Me?", she pointed at herself with a shocked smile.

"No, I was talking to the plant over there.", I teased. "Yes, you."

She raised an eyebrow, "Okay, then."

"This time, we're taking the stairs.", I said with a laugh.

She giggled along with me, hugging her sketch pad to her chest.

Elsa

Jack really didn't seem too bossy and bitter after all... I kinda figured that out the moment he smiled at me.

Jeez, I think he's got a tie with Once-ler's smile... wait, is it a tie?

Oh, I'm just babbling again...

"Where do you wanna eat?", he asked. 

I pressed my lips into a thin line, "Uh, whatever is fine for me... you decide..."

"Grilled-cheese sandwiches?", he suggested.

I stopped in my tracks, and bit my lip nervously...

I ducked my head, "I'm... I'm allergic to dairy..."

Jack frowned for a moment, "Uh... okay... How about sushi?"

"I love those!", I smiled. "My dad has been bringing me to Japanese restaurants ever since I was a little kid."

"That's cool.", he said.

We walked outside of the building, to the nearby Japanese resto at the corner.

Jack

So she's allergic to dairy... which means she doesn't eat cheese, particularly Brie.

So, that's one Erin attribute crossed off my list. Plus, she eats sushi... and, Erin hates sushi.

Maybe this girl is different... maybe she just isn't Erin.

Maybe Erin is really gone... and I have to move on...

I looked over at Elsa, who was happily flipping over the menu that was given to us by the lady, "I think I'll just have that kani salad."

"That's it?", I asked her. "No sushi?"

"I guess you can throw in some sashimi, too.", she smiled at the waitress then hovered her gaze to me.

I chuckled, "That's all what we'll be taking, thank you."

"What about you?", Elsa asked me with her eyes wider than ever. 

"Nah, I really didn't wanna eat.", I shrugged.

"Then, uh...", she said. "I'll just pay for these, and-"

"No, it's okay.", I gave her a warm smile. "It's the least I could do after the tough week I've given you."

She pursed her lips and nervously shrugged, "Okay, thanks."

"So, how about let's start all over again, shall we?", she giggled and held out her hand. "I'm Elsa Aubrie Coldstone."

"I'm Jackson Overland Frost.", I went along with her get up.

She raised her eyebrow with a smile, "Your name seems familiar... Like I've heard it before."

"Really?", my eyes lit up. Maybe... just maybe.

"Yeah, like in a TV show or something.", she said.

Damn.

"I guess you're kinda mistaken.", I said as she shrugged and looked at her food.

Elsa and I talked about a whole lot of things... like how she got here and a few other whatnots. I discovered that she's quite a sickly girl when she was younger, but nonetheless, she was a cheerful child.

She was named after Queen Elsa from Frozen, and her younger sister, Annie, was named after Princess Anna and their aunt Emilie. Elsa had lot to babble about her sister, and seemingly they were very close.

"How about you?", she asked finishing her last scoop of lettuce. "Do you also have a sister?"

"Yeah, her name is Mary Jane.", I said. "But she's living with my dad ever since my parents got divorced."

"Oh, I didn't mean to...", Elsa apologized.

"It's okay, really."

"If it makes you feel any better, my parents are divorced, too. My mom left our family.", she added.

"I guess it sucks to have half a family, doesn't it?"

"Agreed.", she sighed.

Seems like Elsa and I were almost at the same place in this world...

"Thanks for everything, Jack.", she said. "I had fun talking to you."

"You're welcome, Elsa.", I said as she smiled back at me... then walked over to her cubicle.

Once-ler followed my gaze, then looked back at me... mouthing, "We need to talk."

A/N: Whoop dee doo! I feel awesome, so here's another update.

I think it's kinda short... but I think I'll be posting MORE this WEEK

xoxo,
