I'm going straight to the point here. I haven't updated this book in so long, and I really wanted to quit not so long ago, but no, I won't do that for those of you who still remain loyal to this book it wouldn't be fare to you or me. You've read this book far to long for me just to give you a slice of what I can give.

I'm sorry. But back to the story. I'll keep this book alive for those still willing to read.

Time waits for no one

Elsa's POV

Saying goodbye is painful. There is no doubt that its one of the saddest things anyone ever has to do. Especially when you're not ready to say it.

I'm not ready to leave. I dont want to leave. I feel like I dont have a choice, when I know I do. I could stand up for myself. Tell my father I won't do what he says, that its my life not his.

But I can't do that... I hurt him far enough. The last thing I want to do is crush his hopes and dreams. Maybe this is why I'm doing this... That or I'm just far to weak to stand up to him.

The time I had with my new friends was memorable. I said goodbye to my 2 new female friends yesterday. I know when I leave, I'll always have them in mind.

My platonic love, well he and I have agreed to spend time alone a day before I leave. Why alone? I'm not very sure myself.

~*~*

He picked me up, and we headed towards the park. We spend the afternoon just talking.

I got to know him. I learned so much of him I didnt already know. I doubt he could say the same. I refused to talk to much about myself.

As the sun began to set we both sat on a small hill on a blanket he had brought with him.

"Dont you ever wish you could stop time?" He sighed.

"If I'm being honest, I only wished that a couple of times before I met you guys"

He let his head ready on the blanket as he closed his eyes.

"I dont want you to leave m- us. I dont want you leaving us" he sounded hurt.

"I don't have much of a choice" I looked at him, his eyebrows were knitted together and his lips were sealed into a straight line.

"I would stay if I coul-" I didnt finish my sentence when he suddenly sat straight up and yelled back.

"Dont say that!"

His eyes held tears, he looked angry and hurt, I almost didnt recognized him.

I didn't reply. I didnt know what to say. I opened and closed my mouth again, dumbstruck.

He looked down, apologizing over and over as he wiped his eyes.

"That's exactly what my mother said... Before she left..."

I stayed silent, waiting for him to go on.

"She left me with my alcoholic father. She took my sister and just...just... abandoned me. She had no problem leaving me. She let me with her now new husband, with a new family, and just let me all alone..."

He looked so vulnerable. But I didn't say anything. I would let him finish, let him get it all out of his system.

Even though I couldn't help but feel bad. I knew something like that is something that takes a long time to heal.

"Elsa... I have to be honest with you... I feel something for you... Its strong, and it won't be going away anytime soon... Please I beg you to stay..." His pleading eyes almost had me convinced.

"I-I..." My thoughts were all over the place, I didnt know what to say. "I think I should be heading home now. Its getting late." two quick sentences came out as a whisper.

Jack with tears in his eyes, that he held back, nodded his head slightly. He stood up and so did I. Going back home was the last thing I wanted but I had to go back.

*~*~*

Jack walked me to the front door of my house, and we stood silent for a moment.

"I guess this is goodbye" he said as he bit his lip, refusing to look at me.

"I'm afraid so" I whispered.

"Goodbye Jack"

"Goodbye Elsa..." With that I opened the door and closer the door behind me. Ready to let all my tears fall.

Regret and guilt flooded over me. But there was nothing I could do now. Its far to late.

"What are you doing? You need to be packing" my fathers voice was the last thing I wanted to hear.

"I'm already done" I told him with a sigh. I didn't really have much patience in me left.

"Dont give me attitude young lady, after all the trouble I've been going through to help you reach your goals and dreams, do you think giving me attitude is the way to show me your gratitude? No young lady thats not how you treat..."  He went on and on. Lecturing me like he always does.

"Kiel would have never acted this way towards me."

I couldn't take it anymore.

"Well Kiel isn't here dad! He's gone! And soon I will be too!"

The room was dead silent. Our eyes met, and I knew he was furious for me mentioning his name. But I was much more angry than him.

"Listen hear young lady-"

"No! You listen! All I ever do is listen, I never have control, its as if I were only a dog that took commands from everyone! Especially you dad! And I'm done, I'm officially done! I'm bit leaving tomorrow, I'm not becoming a doctor so quit it! I'm done with you and with everybody!"

My face was covered in sweat and tears. I was red in anger. I ran upstairs getting a duffle bag filled with clothes and got my savings and rushed downs stairs.

"Now where do you think you're going?" My dad exclaimed.

"Far. Far from you" I sneered back. And then I ran. Ran far from the house, my tears falling as my lungs and legs were ready to give out.

First thing that came to mind was Jack. I stood in the corner of a street, trying to catch my breath when I dialed his number.

*~*~

The 4 of us sat down under Rapunzel's tree in her back yard.

They didnt question me. But I know they wanted answeres.

So I told them about my outburst. And how I wasn't planning on going back.

"But why not?" Jack asked.

I hugged my knees a little tighter, and began to rock myself back and forward.

"Because I killed him... And he won't ever forgive me for it..."

And tears began to fall once more.
