Rapunzel's POV
"Why do you lie Rapunzel?" Jaime said crying.
"But I..I never lied to you.."
"No ! you said you'll protect me....that was a lie" He yelled crushing my heart. I can't blame him, he's right.
"Jaime I...I am sorry..I tried to save you I really did" Tears formed in my eyes as I sobbed.
"I'll never forgive you ! Not until you stop the lies" He glared with hate at me.
"Wha-"
"You're lying to Jack, even after he told you about your mother" Disappointment filled his eyes. His words were like daggers.
"But....I can't tell him....I can't" I covered my face crying.
"YES YOU HAVE !" He shouted "You owe him the truth, or he won't forgive you once he finds out"
"Jaime please...." I looked at him and it was like he was disappearing or getting so far away "Jaime !" I called chasing him.
"He'll never forgive you !" He snapped and once I reached him it was all black. Then suddenly Jack appeared from far away. Something was wrong...He didn't look at me with love, only with.....hate !
"How could you Rapunzel !" He snapped. Oh no, he found out !
"Jack wait ! I can, I can explain-"
"After everything I did? After all we've been through? You never trusted me !" He accused looking so hurt. Jack No.
"That's not true ! I trust you more than anyone" I defended.
"LIES ! all that comes out of your mouth are lies ! You're a liar Rapunzel and you know how much I hate liars" He was disgusted "You have blood on your hands, MY MOTHER'S BLOOD !"
"Jack please no..." I started crying.
"I hate you ! I never should have loved you, you're such a monster....a poison" He snapped then started walking to...Elsa.
"NO ! Juts give me chance please, I am sorry-"
"Enough ! he's with me now, I never lied to him unlike you" Elsa smirked and then they both walked together.
"Jack no...no..no..." I fell on my knees and hugged myself "Don't leave me Jack...Don't...I need you..Please come back....Please..I love you" Suddenly I felt a hand touching my shoulders and comforting me. I slowly turned my head, my eyes widened at who he is, how did he find me !
"Hello...My Little Princess"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO !" I screamed shaking my body. Covering myself "NOOO !"
"Rapunzel ? Rapunzel hey hey it's me !" A voice was calling.
"NO ! stay away, don't touch me no !" I hugged my knees still not wanting to open my eyes. It's him, he found me !
"Rapunzel wake up" Two cold hands touched my shoulders made me even more frustrated.
"I'll never go with you ! No leave me alone, Don't take me away" I pushed his hands with all my force. Adrenaline was running wild in my veins.
"RAPUNZEL !" wait....Jack? I slowly opened my eyes. He held my shoulders and started shaking me vigorously "Rapunze it's me , hey it's okay" My eyes met his and that's was it. I threw myself in his embrace breathing heavily. I felt one hand holding me closer and the other was stroking my hair.
"Jack..."
"Hey hey it's fine" He assured me and I just hugged him harder. He's here ! He's not gone. He didn't leave me "It's okay, I am here and I am not going anywhere, just....breathe" He kissed my head as I stayed silent.
His warm embrace slowly starting calming me down. I didn't talk neither did he, he just held me tight, stroking my hair and kissing my head every now and then. My breathing went back to normal and I was finally okay now.
Slowly I pulled away slightly from Jack but he was still holding me like he was afraid I am gonna disappear if he let go.
"Nightmare?" He whispered and I nodded " Wanna talk about it?" He asked. I looked into his eyes and a tear almost fell from mine "Punz what's wrong...please"
"I....It was..." I couldn't find the words. I couldn't even think. I have this terrible feeling that my 10 years of lying will fall down on my head.
"Rapunzel you kept saying.....Jack don't leave me and other...stuff" He sighed and my eyes widened. How much did I say. I gulped getting nervous "Hey calm down it's okay" He moved a strand of my hair away showing my face clearly "I am not going anywhere" He took my hand and put it on his chest "See? I am here"
I didn't hesitate for a second. I captured his lips kissing him with everything I have. He got take back at first but slowly he started kissing me back. I was using too much force on that kiss. It felt like it's gonna be the last one and I really needed him right now.
The kiss got rough and once we pulled away breathless, Jack seemed speechless. We were panting hard but I don't regret it.
"What was that?" He said through pants.
"Jack, I love you" I stared at his crystal blue eyes.
"I love you" He replied.
"Jack....I really do, and no matter what happens I need you to promise me you'll always know that I love you, always" I looked too demanding.
"Rapunzel what is-"
"Promise me...Please" I pleaded looking very vulnerable. I never knew that falling this hard was possible. Jack seemed confused but I needed his answer.
"Okay" He sighed "I promise" I let out a sigh of relief "You still don't wanna talk about earlier?" He pressed his lips together. Jack is smart and he has been suspicious I know.
"It's just......It's a bad...memory" I replied. I didn't want him to think I didn't trust him. He furrowed his eyebrows "Jack...I was....hurt before" I didn't know what to say...I wasn't even thinking.
"How hurt?" He looked pissed. not at me but whoever hurt me.
"It's....It's complicated" I sighed covering my face then I looked back at him "Can we talk about this late?" I plead. I wasn't ready no, not after that dream. Jack looked like he was having a mental battle inside his head but thank god he gave in.
"Fine" He replied. I smiled feeling better "But we will discuss this later" He added and from his tone, he was so serious. I nodded then he smiled at me again. Then it hit me, my head hurts ! I massaged my forehead "You okay?"
"This is a serious headache" I groaned. Jack chuckled showing his teeth "What's funny?"
"You..having a hangover....from one drink" He smirked. Oh god the drink Hans gave me ! I groaned, I really had to play and act brave didn't I?
"What ever that drink was.....it's really strong" I was so pissed at Hans right now "I...I can't remember anything after the game" The moment I said that, Jack's features changed. Uh oh...What did I do "Did..did something happen?"
"No" He shrugged "You just kept....saying things" I gulped when he said that.
"What things?" I was getting nervous.
"Believe me I don't know myself" He sighed "Oh you even mistook me for a snowman" He changed the subject.
"Really? ohh that's embarrassing" I felt the blush on my face and Jack chuckled.
"Come on, get dressed, it's 10 am, Merida and Hiccup are already waiting for us" Jack stated.
"It's already 10 am ! I slept that much?" I blinked. Jack's smirk was a reply for my question.
I got up and took a shower since I looked like a mess and I was still in yesterday's dress. I thought about Jack and when he said that I talked about stuff when I was drunk.
I tried remembering, I kept pushing my memory but no luck..I can't remember anything about last night. I know I act crazy but being drunk mean I could tell all my past without thinking and this idea terrifies me.
I couldn't have possibly said something that I shouldn't have, right?
Also I was worried...the nightmares are back ! I though they stopped 2 years ago. why now? Is it because of the boy who looked like Jaime? But that boy isn't Jaime. I actually went to Emma's school and talked with him but he was a different person. He didn't recognize me so it can't be him.
Jaime is gone....
I was stupid to think that he survived. He died...and I can't get his words out of my head.
Liar
You said you'll protect me
Stop the lies
Jack will hate you
I closed turned off the water and took a breath. It's true..I am a monster. I am doing this to Jack and I feel terrible. He was nothing but honest and loyal and I am lying to him every single day.
I put a towel around my body and got out the shower feeling dead...It was too much pressure and I am starting to fall apart. I felt myself getting dizzy that I almost slip but I gained my balance quickly though I caused my hair products to fall making noise.
"Rapunzel? You okay?" Jack knocked.
"Y..Yeah..Just almost fell" I replied from behind the door.
I changed into a high wasted short with a white crop top. I dried my hair and put a little make up because I looked terrible. Finally after looking decent, I opened the bathroom door and walked out. Jack was sitting on bed waiting obviously.
"You look beautiful" He smiled and kissed me on my forehead.
I don't deserve this......
"Come on, Merida has been spamming me with curses on the phone because we're late" He scoffed and I just giggled. Typical Meri.
The day went by fine actually. The four of us were having fun as usual and trying to make these days our best memories. I want it to be like this that's why I have to stop thinking about my lies.
I am the most selfish person on earth I know that, but can you blame me? Imagine if you were the daughter of a cold blooded murderer who killed your boyfriend's mother and made a 7 year old year grow up with out a mother and almost being abandoned by his father.
You can never convince me that this is something anyone might accept. The moment Jack finds out, everything will fall apart. It's better if he never knows.
What he doesn't you won't harm him, right?
Right now were sitting in café at the coast of the beach. It was already night time. We were sittig there just telling jokes, old stories, simply enjoying the little details.
"Wait so your hair is naturally white?" Merida looked creeped out when Jack nodded.
"Believe me I found it hard to buy it at first too" Hiccup smirked.
"I thought you dye it" I blinked.
"Yeah like, how could anyone have natural white snowy hair?" Merida scoffed.
"The great ones" Jack smirked.
"More like a snowman" Merida snorted.
"You don't wanna talk about hair believe me, you carry a Christmas tree on your head everywhere" Jack made a comeback ad Merida glared at him.
"Excuse me? At least it has a natural colour !"
"True but you have a lot of..." Jack kept pointing at al her hair "Volume !" He shrugged "I could seriously find my lost A grades in there"
"Seriously do you guys always have to argue" Hiccup rolled his eyes.
"He started it !"
"She started it !"
Hiccup and I both slapped our foreheads. Guess this was a no then.
"The only person who has ordinary hair here is Hiccup anyways" Jack smirked.
"Is that a compliment or an insult" Hiccup narrowed his eyes.
"Wait, what's wrong with my hair?" I blinked.
"TALL !" They all yelled in union.
"Seriously ? Now you all agree !" I scoffed.
"Seriously though, your hair is almost beneath your knees punz" Merida shrugged.
"Traitor !" I glared at her.
We stayed for a while longer till Merida and Hiccup excused themselves saying they were tired. I smirked at Merida because of the info she told me yesterday about her and Hiccs. She glared at me and I just giggled mentally.
Jack and I walked on the beach for a while. We even chased after one another playing tag. His childish side is so pure that I want to kiss him all the time.
When we felt tired, we decided to head back since it was really late but we didn't expect encountering Hans on the way. He was standing there alone in front of the house. I felt Jack getting angry that I had to squeeze his hand so he won't do anything he'll regret.
"You dare come here !" Jack snapped but Hans for the first time didn't smirk or even say something to piss Jack. He just stared at us, more like at me and he had this expression of hate? Disappointment? Pity?
"I didn't come here to fight Jack" He replied coldly "I cam to warn you"
"Bullshit ! Stay away from us ! how many times do I have to tell you" Jack had this look of hatred in his eyes and it kind reminded me of my dream..
"I'll say one thing only" He stated "You always believed I was your enemy but, your real enemy is actually someone close to you" He turned his gaze to me "Closer than you can imagine" My heart stopped when he said that....he couldn't possibly know !
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Jack gritted.
"I'll leave now, Goodnight" Hans then turned and walked away without another word.
"He-"
"Jack just leave him" I pulled him back before he ran after Hans. Jack looked at me and this look of doubt "Jac-" He took my hand and dragged me inside without a single word "Jack!" He didn't let go and dragged me upstairs to our room then closed the door behind us.
"What is going on ? I need answers Rapunzel" He clenched his jaw and I stood there frozen "Rapunzel don't get me crazy !" He ran his hands through his hair out of frustration "What does Hans know that I don't !" I stayed silent. He looked so desperate..
Why can't you speak Rapunzel ! Stop this pain
"Rapunzel...I've never begged anyone before but" He held my face in his hands "Please, what's happening?" I stared deeply at him. He looked wrecked and devastated. He blinked and then looked at me again "You're not.....you're not cheating on me Hans right?"
"What?" I gasped "Jack no, oh my god no" I can't blame him for thinking like that. I lead to this "I am ju-"
"Don't you trust me?" He asked this question like his life depended on it. Do I? yes I do ! I don't need to hesitate. Instead of answering him, I captured his lips. I felt him pouring all his emotions in this kiss. And so was I. Slowly I sat on the bed with our lips never apart. We pulled away for a second, non of us said a word. Our eyes were talking.
We knew exactly what will happen next and we both didn't show any hesitation our eyes. Only love, lust and need. Do I want this? Am I ready? I refused when it got to this limit with Flynn but now in this moment. Do I want Jack?
Yes I do
