Chapter 17
"Emma! Hey!" Anna yells across the hall to the High Schooler.
Emma gasps grabbing Odette's hand running over to Anna. Emma hugs Anna and Odette is red as a tomato from Emma's actions. Anna breaks the hug.
"How have you been?! I feel like we haven't talked in ages!" Anna exclaims.
Anna notices the platinum blonde haired girl behind Emma.
"Hey, I'm Anna! I absolutely love your pink streaks, they look amazing!" Anna cheers in excitement.
Odette's eyes widen and her cheeks glow red. Anna giggles and hugs her causing Odette to freeze up, Emma laughs at the ordeal.
"Odette is a tad shy, Anna. You'll see her wild side soon enough I'm sure! Wait until she's your best friend and she's comfortable with you!" Emma laughs.
Odette smiles timidly staying silent. Emma and Anna are both hyperactive and bubbly, anyone with eyes and ears can see and hear that. Odette couldn't help but smile brighter at Emma's declaration. She's her best friend? Odette bites her lip happily containing her excitement.
"Speaking of best friends! I have some news! Astrid and I are now officially sisters!" Anna cheers excitedly.
Emma's brown eyes widen in shock and her jaw falls.
"Yup! We're sisters now! I'm shocked too really! I can't believe that this is what life worked out for us two! You should come over to hang out both of you!" Anna cheers happily.
Odette's grey eyes widen in shock yet again. She's being invited to hang out with people? She can't help but jump up and down in excitement. Anna sees this and begins laughing and clapping happily.
"The four of us will get along great! I can just tell!" Anna laughs with a wink.
Back at the Arrendelle house, Astrid types out more of the script onto her laptop. Despite the fact she was told to rest, she wants to continue writing the script. She'll do the writing aspect and let Anna fill in the play with comedy.
The doorbell rings. Astrid places her laptop on the coffee table and grabs her crutches hopping over to open the door. Two uniformed officers stand in the doorway.
"Miss Hofferson?" They ask.
"That's me. Come in," she smiles.
The officers enter, Astrid points them into the living room. She closes the door and locks it behind them entering the living room.
"This is a wonderful place! Is this your adoptive sister's place?" Officer Chi asks.
"Yeah, they've lived here since they migrated over." Astrid says with a smile.
"Are you ready for questioning? The doctors informed us that you'll need plenty of rest so we'll try not to stress you out and keep this short." Officer Parker replies.
Astrid nods understandingly. She didn't know how she was going to cope with their judging eyes when she tells them the whole ordeal.
"Your Mother's house was wrecked when we arrived at the scene, did you witness that?" Officer Chi asks.
Astrid nods. Officer Parker is noting down Astrid's answers.
"Could you identify who did this?" Officer Chi asks.
"It was me..." Astrid sighs ashamed of her actions.
This catches both officers attention. Officer Parker perks up, "I'm sorry, you did that?"
Astrid looks down and nods. She continues, "My Dad went MIA a year ago, I began heavily drinking. That woman replaced every memory of my Dad and forgot him like he was never there, she stopped caring for me and I started to get angry. She and her new boy toy Kevin, Kieran, Keith, Kyle whatever had gotten on my nerves."
Officer Parker is taking notes not taking her eyes off of the injured young adult.
"She and him left the house, I tore it apart in anger. I went back to drinking to be honest with you, that night I was going to run away from home. I was recording a message to give to Patricia and well, I left the recording on and I had..." Astrid hesitates.
Officer Chi raises his brow. Astrid shakes her head pushing her thoughts away.
"I left the recording on and they came back to the mess. She lost her cool and I lost mine, he hit me for being disrespectful and talking back. When I screamed at her to defend me, she hit me also. I screamed at her and then they both started hitting me. They beat me..." Astrid sighs tearing welling up in her eyes.
"You're disrespectful disgusting brat!"
She shivers hearing Patricia's voice.
"You said you left your phone recording, yes?" Officer Parker asks looking back through her notes.
Astrid's eyes widen and her heart beat increases. Her terror obvious to the officers, why was she scared? Officer Parker notes that down.
"D-Did I? No, I don't think I did actually. Sorry must be me!" Astrid rushes anxiously.
Both officers identify Astrid is lying about something. What would she be lying about? They weren't sure but they were going to find out.
"Astrid." Officer Chi says seriously.
"Y-Yeah?" She stammers biting her lip looking into his big eyes.
"You're lying about something. There are too many gaps in the story, some things makes sense but not a lot. Now, I want the truth." He says seriously.
"I-I can't, I'm ashamed..." Astrid sobs upset.
Officer Parker gets up and hugs the crying girl comforting her.
"I know you've been through a lot, sweetheart. I know but we're just trying to help you and understand. You can tell us and this'll stay between us, okay? I swear to you, we just want to help you." Officer Parker says.
Astrid's tears stop and she takes a deep breath. She whispers, "You swear not to tell anyone? I don't want anyone finding out about me yet..."
"I swear to you." Officer Parker smiles truthfully.
"Okay..." Astrid sighs.
A few hours later after rehearsals and everyone giving Anna their measurements for costumes, they break apart for lunch. Anna, Emma and Odette sit in the auditorium together laughing and eating lunch.
"Wait, you're saying that you decorated your entire room to resemble a taco when you were younger?!" Anna and Emma laugh.
"Hey! I was a fussy eater and tacos were and are still my life!" Odette says sticking her tongue out at the two girls.
Amy glares at Odette from the corridor watching like a hawk. She loathes this girl, she came in out of nowhere and stole Emma away from her, she's not popular without Emma at her hip. She didn't dare mess with the college girl because she's too much of a coward but Odette? She'd do her best to take down any day of the week.
"Emma noticed her because of her hair, right? Maybe..." Amy says. She rushes off away leaving the school grounds.
Rapunzel goes around the store looking through all the clothes. She loves getting new clothes in, she's always trying to stay stylish and look her best! She ends up bumping into someone.
"Be careful there, beautiful."
Rapunzel looks up into a man's hazel eyes. She feels entranced by them, bewitched in a man's eyes. The man is also entangled in her big green eyes. They recognise each other from a while ago at the store.
"Some would say that you're lost in my eyes." She giggles with a smile.
He shakes himself out of it helping the blonde back up to her feet. She dusts herself off and he smirks at the beauty before him.
"Did it hurt when you fell down from heaven?" Flynn winks.
"I don't know, is there something wrong with my eyes because I can't seem to take my eyes off you!" Rapunzel flirts.
The elderly woman who is within earshot stands there looking at the young adults in disgust. She backs away not wanting to hear any more cringeworthy pick up lines.
"I'm going to have to call the cops because it has to be illegal to look this good," Flynn flirts gesturing to the blonde.
"Is it hot in here or is it just you?" Rapunzel winks.
Rapunzel notices the changing room behind him, she grabs his hand. She feels sudden sparks in her hand as hers touches his, she shakes it off and sneaks him into the changing room with her and they start making out.
Anna, Emma and Odette jump onto the bus heading up to the Arrendelle residence. Emma quickly texts Jack.
Butterfly 🦋💖
Hi, Jack! Anna has invited me to hang out over her place tonight, I'll be back by 10pm! Love you!
Odette quickly texts Mary to inform her about her lack of attendance at home.
Honey bunny 🐰💕
Hi, Mom! I've been invited out to hang out at my friends today, I won't be out all night so don't worry! I'll be back by a reasonable time, I promise! I love you!
Mary smiles happily at her phone seeing the text from her daughter. Odette has always been quite a loner, she has never had friends over or gone out with friends before. She quickly responds.
Momma Bear 🐻❤️
Oh honey, I'm so happy for you! Mom and I are so proud of you! Have a nice time!
Odette smiles happily pocketing her phone quickly jumping back into conversation with the girls.
After a forty minute bus ride, they arrive at the stop and walk another twenty minutes to the house. Odette smiles at the quaint home, they walk up and Anna unlocks the door.
"ASTRID!" Anna yells happily.
Astrid yawns sitting up in bed and she hops out the bedroom on her crutches. Anna allows Emma and Odette to come in and locks the door behind them. Astrid comes out the bedroom seeing Anna and two girls, she immediately recognised Emma.
"Hey, Anna! Good day? Hey, Emma! Hey, new girl!" Astrid smiles.
Odette blushes red going quiet again, she waves shyly.
"Odette is a tad shy, she'll get used to you!" Emma smiles.
The four girls scurry into the living room and laugh about everything and anything. Anna smirks seeing the TV.
"Who likes Stranger Things?" Anna smirks.
"Oh hell yes, put that on!" Odette squeals.
The three girls laugh at Odette watching Stanger Things happily. Astrid sits beside Anna who is in the middle next to Emma and Odette is on the two seater sitting on her knees smiling at the TV. Astrid smiles at everyone watching the episode.
Across town, Rapunzel is walking along the beach enjoying the sun. She has always loved the sun, there was just something about it that sparked something inside of her.
"Now this definitely has to be my favourite place, there is an angel in front of me." Flynn winks meeting her for the second time today.
"Was the make out session that good for you to follow me?" Rapunzel giggles.
"I'll have you know that was the best make out session ever and I come here every week when I get the chance. I like photography," Flynn smiles holding his camera up.
Rapunzel smiles taking a seat in the sand scooping the soft grains in her hand before letting them fall back down to the ground.
"This may sound a tad weird but could I photograph you?" Flynn asks with a cheesy smile.
Rapunzel has never been a girl to be camera shy so she happily agrees and the two begin talking whilst shooting photographs of the scenery and the beautiful blonde.
