A/N: WTH Months have passed, and I just noticed some typos in the past chapter so I edited it haha. Requested by FrostbiteProductions (I'm sorry this took so long), the song is Clarity by Zedd and Foxes. Enjoy!
The cold sea breeze caressed the pale skin of Elsa Winters as she sat down on the white sand of the beach, looking at the sun as it slowly settled. She didn't really plan to drop by at the beach; she was on her way home from work when she passed the beach. As Elsa passed the beach, she thought about relaxing there since she's stressed out from work, so she made a U-turn and parked at the side of the road.
All of a sudden, Elsa started reminiscing memories about her and her ex-boyfriend, Jack Frost. Their relationship lasted for two years, until they broke up a month ago. On the last days of their relationship, it was full of pain and torment; it was like high diving into frozen waves.
Their relationship was like going back and forth, but instead of going back and forth; they get back together and break up. It was a never-ending painful cycle of getting back together and abandoning each other, yet it was still worth it for the two of them.
There were many painful yet true reasons that made them jump to a heated argument, followed by one of them stating that they should break up, and the suggested answer of anger was yes.
Furthermore, the one who suggested that they should break up is the one who is pleading that they should get back together. In spite of fearing the worst, they did get back together, even if they both know that they would drift apart in the end.
"Elsa?" A quiet voice behind her softly said with a confused tone.
Elsa tilted her head to see who it was, and to her surprise, it was Jack.
"Jack…why are you here?" She murmured with shock as she slowly stands up, removing the sand particles on her black pencil skirt as she does.
"I-uh-I…don't even know too." He said as he rubs the back of his neck, a gesture that Elsa noticed a long time ago that he always does when he's confused.
Elsa was feeling suffocated inside, she really didn't want to see Jack after their stinging separation a month ago. As the lamp posts lighted, she turned her gaze to the night skies, pretending to tell time as she said, "Ah, it's getting late. I should go home. It was nice to see you again, Jack. Bye."
At the same time as Elsa passed by Jack, he stopped her by grabbing her wrist. The sudden action made Elsa quickly tilt her head to Jack, with the mixture of shock and confusion expressed on her face.
"We need to talk." Jack said with seriousness on his voice, but his eyes were begging for her.
It was those four words that made Elsa's mood abruptly change; because it was those words that both of them uttered to one other in different situations that made them result to their wreckage.
"We're done, Jack. Remember?" She coldly spat to him, relentlessly denying her notwithstanding feelings for him inside.
"Elsa, please…" He pleaded, his eyes slowly misting. As Elsa saw Jack's misty blue eyes, her gaze softened. She never saw Jack almost on the verge of tearing up, she only saw him in high spirits and being angry.
She deeply sighed, and said, "…Fine, but make it quick."
Jack immediately let go of her wrist as she agreed to talk to him. Five inches between them, they sat down on the sand. Jack nervously began, "I have something to tell you."
Elsa didn't say anything, she just watched the waves crash on the shoreline while she listens to what Jack has to say. Jack took her silence as a signal to carry on what he's saying, so he cleared his throat and continued, "I…I miss you, Elsa."
Nothing was heard from Elsa.
"I-I need you…"
Absolute silence was still heard, but Jack didn't notice the tears streaming down her cheeks.
"And…I still love you, Elsa…"
"You can't, Jack, you can't!" She harshly said as she quickly stands up, "I don't even need you, we're done. I'm leaving." She didn't mean that, but she wishes to.
"Elsa, wait!" He immediately stood up, and quickly grasped her wrist, tightly yet enough not to hurt her.
"Let go of me!" She said, getting furious as she fails to get rid of Jack's grip.
As her furiousness turned into unhappiness, Elsa began to sob while she slowly stopped hitting Jack, "I said let go…of…me…"
Both of them slowly sunk to the sandy floor of the beach, Jack hugging Elsa as she sobs to his clothed chest.
"…Don't you see, Jack? Our love...is a…tragedy…" Elsa said between her sobs.
"I know, Elsa, I know."
"If you know, why are you…chasing me?"
"You're worth it, Elsa." He said as he wipes the tears on her cheeks. Elsa was silent.
"I know that our love is a tragedy, and at the same time is insanity, but don't you know?"
"…Know what?" She hesitatingly murmured.
"That the two of us are a remedy for each other in our tragic love, and the clarity to our insane love."
