Chapter One

I was woken up by the sun streaming in through my window and into my face. My bedroom was slightly cold so I just kept my eyes shut and let the rays of the sun warm me as much as they possibly could through my window. I laid there for few minutes before sleepily rubbing my eyes and yawning. I stretched out and then sat up in bed. I glanced over toward the calendar on the back closed door and suddenly realized what today was.

I excitedly jumped out of bed. I waited for this one day every year and it had finally come back around. Today was the first day of winter and I could barely control my happiness. Most people would ask "What's so exciting about having to get up early to defrost your car in the mornings?" or "What's so amazing about those dangerous, iced-over roads we have to drive on?" But that's just what the grown-ups would ask. Kids on the other hand would be excited about snowmen, snowball fights, and snow days. My reason for being excited though is that I get to see what, or should I say who makes all of those things possible. Jack Frost.

Only the people that believed in the Guardian could see them. Most of that population, or more like 96.725%, was made up of children younger than the age of ten. I, on the other hand, happened to fall outside of that category. I was sixteen years old and I believed.

I believed in the Tooth Fairy who always congratulated me on how well I kept my teeth healthy while always looking at me in a motherly way. I believed in the Sandman who always delivered sweet dreams to me at night and once in a while during a nap, but that was our little secret. I believed in the Easter Bunny who let me go visit him and help out with painting the eggs last year. I believed in Santa Claus who would bring me the yeti-made cookies along with my presents every year then always end up telling everyone back up at the North Pole I said "hi". But most of all, I believed in Jack Frost who was my absolute best friend on the planet.

Jack and I had known each other for a total of twelve years. When I was four I heard his name for the first time. I have always been a very open-minded child and always believed in all the other Guardians. My mom definitely encouraged it considering she's always believed. Therefore, when I first heard the name "Jack Frost" I had looked out the window at the snow falling on the ground and sad, "Momma, if Santa and everyone else exist then why can't Jack Frost also?"

My mother had just replied with, "Of course he can baby and he does. Don't you see him out there? There's a part of him in every single piece of snow you see. He exists as the personification of winter."

I had just looked at her and smiled. I had then gotten a confused expression on my face and I crinkled up my nose. "What does per-personipapaton mean mommy?"

She had just ended up laughing at my messed up pronunciation. Later that night I had woken up to the sound of peals of laughter coming from outside. Being the curious kid that I was, I rushed out of bed and ran to my window. Right then I saw a boy in a blue hoodie with a staff in his hand fly by my window. Right then I knew exactly who I saw. He was the first Guardian I had ever seen or met and I've never forgotten that day.

Jack was finally going to arrive back in town for winter today. I occasionally saw Jack throughout the year but we looked forward to winter the most because that's when we would get to see each other for a whole season.

I started getting ready for the day by first taking a shower. When I was done I got dressed in a pair of jeans and a purple and grey striped sweater. I pulled my long brown hair into a high ponytail and brushed my teeth. I then treaded downstairs barefoot to find something to eat. I was wondering where my mom was when I realized that it was already ten o'clock meaning she had left for work already.

We just started Christmas Break so I didn't have any school but my mom still had to go to work. I just had her now since my dad died in a car accident three years ago. It was really hard for my mom and me, but we pulled through happy to at least have the great memories of him. Jack was there for me constantly when that happened. He hardly ever left.

I had just gotten a bowl of cereal and was just beginning to sit down at the dining room table when my phone started ringing. I fished it out of my back pocket and answered it on the fourth ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey Mia," I heard Tyler, my boyfriend of three months, say.

"Hi," I said back, a smile on my face at hearing his voice.

"I was wondering if you were busy today. I wanted to know if you would like to catch a movie or something with me today."

"That's really sweet of you Ty, but I am busy today. My mom wanted me to clean up the house today. How about a rain check?" I really didn't want to turn him down but I had to clean the house not only for my mom but for Jack since he'd be staying with me.

"That's perfectly fine Mia." I could tell he was a little disappointed but he was trying his best not to show it. "I'll talk to you later then okay?"

"Alright. Bye Ty."

"Bye," he said then hung up.

I set my phone back down and began eating my cereal. Tyler didn't know about Jack and that he was staying with me till winter was over as usual. But how could I tell him? He didn't believe in Jack or any of the other Guardians and if I told him that they were not only real but very close friends of mine he'd probably look at me like I was crazy then dump me. That was one thing I didn't want to happen and would do everything to prevent.

Tyler and I may have only been dating for three months but he was really good to me. I just wasn't looking forward to telling Jack about him. I hadn't seen Jack since August when I started my sophomore year in high school so I haven't been able to tell him about Tyler and I. Jack was already very protective of me but adding a boyfriend to the mix and not only that but my first boyfriend was going to guarantee a negative outburst from Jack. He would most likely be furious and forbid the relationship like any older brother figure would.

I decided that I would just deal with that situation when it presented itself and finished off my cereal. After rinsing out my bowl and loading up the dishwasher I started on all my chores. I cleaned the kitchen, dusted, vacuumed the house, and did the laundry. After all of that was done I started on cleaning and organizing my room.

Jack and I always hung out in my room when he was here. I mean we would occasionally go out and do something fun that just involved him and I, but that was only once in a while during his visit. We usually passed the time by making a fort with chairs and blankets then laying out sleeping bags in there. We'd chill in there doing all sorts of things like watching movies, playing board games, and just talking to each other. When we got hungry we would just go raid my mom's kitchen for junk food then bring them back upstairs with us.

When we just talked, Jack would always tell me stories about what he had done while he was gone. It usually consisted of messing with Bunny and playing with kids in the snow wherever it was he happened to be. Jack really enjoyed being able to be seen by children now and he took every single chance he could to take advantage of it. Every time he came over he always told me the story about when he became a Guardian. It had been twelve years since then and also since Pitch showed up again. Jack told me the whole story and how he finally was able to get Jamie to see him. He told me how excited he had been and I don't think that excitement has ever worn off. I mean how could it when Jack had practically been alone for three hundred years.

When he talked about being alone I always got so sad. I felt sorry for him. Nobody should ever have to go through what he did. I usually just hugged him and never let go when it was brought up. I could still tell that the thought of it bugged him, but he would always come out of his sadness from remembering real quickly and reassure me that he was definitely happy now. He would always mess with me and tell me that if he had been seen from the very start he probably would've never met me and if he would've he probably wouldn't appreciate it as much as he did now. He told me that he wouldn't wish it any other way. I would just end up punching him playfully in the arm then. I was just happy that he was happy and that he still acted as if it had only been yesterday that his whole life had changed.

As soon as I had everything completely in order I decided that I should go grocery shopping. I had a general idea about what we needed so skipped the list. I then put on my shoes, grabbed my purse and keys, and headed out the door towards my car after locking the door behind me.

When I got to the store I got out of the car and started making my way to the entrance. Above me loomed light grey clouds floating lazily in the sky. I could tell that it would soon start to snow and that Jack would soon get here.

About thirty minutes later I walked out of the store with bags of chips, cookies, candy, and some other junk foods piled up in the shopping cart. I bought some necessities like milk, eggs, and bread since my mom told me to last night. She told me that if I was going to get stuff that Jack and I wanted then I needed to get stuff that we needed also.

The temperature had dropped about ten degrees while I was in the store. As I made my way to my car in the parking lot I looked back up at the sky. I estimated that it should start snowing just about when I arrived home. I hopped in the car and cranked up the heater after I loaded the sacks in the back seat. I then pulled out of the parking lot and out onto the street driving back home.

When I got there I unlocked the front door and carried the bags inside. I had just noticed that it began to snow as soon as I got done putting the food away. A big smile spread across my face. He's here!

My heart started to beat rapidly and I started to feel a bit nervous. I usually never reacted this way to Jack's arrival. I was always comfortable around him. Just thinking about that perfect grin of his that he would greet me with and those magical blue eyes made my face warm. That was definitely new.

I slowly started to make my way upstairs to my bedroom and stopped right in front of my closed door. I could feel the cool draft coming out from under my door on my bare feet. I started to reach for the doorknob-

Before I even touched it the door swung open unexpectedly and I looked into the most beautiful ice blue eyes I had ever seen. The sight of them made my face turn from a gentle warmth to a burning heat.

"Ja-," I began to say but just before I could finish getting out his name I was pulled into a tight embrace. I felt a cool breath on my ear that sent multiple shivers down my spine.

Jack chuckled at my reaction and said, "I've missed you."

I'll try to have the next chapter up on Friday! Let me know what you think even if it's good or bad. What you guys think is important to me. Thank you all.
