Modern AU
Race to the Edge timeline
I do not own How To Train Your Dragon. Dreamworks and Cressida Cowell do. Don't like anything, don't read. I'll also have you guys know I am homosexual, so if you complain about that, you're out of luck (I will find out who said something about homosexuals being nasty in some way, shape, or form). Also, this story may or may not make sense. But it does make dollars.
Other than that cheery note, enjoy!:)

Chapter 1
Nobody's P.O.V.
The 17-year-old looked out of his window, waiting for his terrorist-of-a-father to come home. Although, Hiccup didn't want Alvin to come home. The young boy knew of the dangers of living with the man. But he had no choice but to go through it. And Hiccup just wanted to get it over with. To help pass the time, Hiccup rolled up his sleeves to see all of the scars that littered his arm. Some of them were because Alvin used Hiccup to put out his cigarettes. Some were from Hiccup's many punishments. The rest were from himself because no one loves him.
The sound of crunching gravel caught Hiccup's attention.
Oh, no! He's going to kill me! Why couldn't I have just died with them?
Hiccup's mother died giving birth to Hiccup and his older twin brother. His twin passed way a few minutes later. Although, it did not surprise Hiccup that his twin died, for the two were born two months early.
The door slamming open and shut brought Hiccup back into reality. Heavy thuds traveled from the front door all the way up the stairs. A tall figure wearing all dark colors stormed into the room. Hiccup trembled.
"Please don't hurt me, I was good today!" But that didn't stop the man from bach-handing the brunette.
"SHUT IT!" Alvin then rained his fist down on poor Hiccup, who did nothing to defend himself. The only thing he could do was scream. That was a bad thing and a good thing about living in the country, no one would ever know what was happening in the Treacher residence. Hiccup felt pain explode in his head. And then he felt it again. And again. And again until his world went black.
X*+*X
Hiccup woke up in a bed that was not his own. The more he looked around, the more he realized he was in his father's room. Which meant only one thing: Alvin took advantage of him while he was sleeping. Alvin has been dragging Hiccup to hi his bed ever since Hiccup was in third grade. Hiccup cried. He was so done with this. But he couldn't leave yet. Hiccup has never been one to give up. But that doesn't mean he always won't.
"HICCUP?! YOU AWAKE YET?! YOU NEED TO GET READY FOR SCHOOL!" Alvin shouted. He sounded pissed off for a reason Hiccup didn't know about.
"Yeah! Coming!" Hiccup called to his father. When Hiccup got out from underneath the covers, he saw what his father did to him. Hiccup doesn't know why his father keeps a mirror next to his bed, but it meant Hiccup could see the bruises that were everywhere on his skeleton-like body, on his neck were hickeys, there was quite a bit of blood in between his legs, and to sum it all up, Hiccup couldn't walk properly.
Great, now people are going to have it easy for them to beat.
But Hiccup made it all the way to his bedroom, grabbed clean clothes, and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.
As the water heated up, Hiccup was thinking about the next place to cut. He didn't need to worry about Alvin finding out because Alvin thinks it's all from himself, which makes him proud of himself for a reason Hiccup doesn't know.
Hiccup stepped into the shower. The water was boiling hot. Hiccup located his razor, pressed it against his skin, and let the blood flow.

Hiccup didn't want to be at school. Mostly because everyone pretty much hated him. They all seem to love to remind him of how useless Hiccup is to the world. It doesn't help that the teachers don't really like him either, adding to Hiccup's con list about life. The only pro he has in life is his future freedom, which will come soon hopefully. But if it isn't what Hiccup expected, there is an easy way out. Hiccup already has a few ideas on how to end it all. All the suffering, all the pain, all the lies. It would all just come to an end. If only-
"Hiccup! Hello? Come on, pay attention, you moron!" Hiccup looked up from his notebook full of notes for school and drawings of demons and angels to see Mr. Mildew glare at him.
"Pardon, sir?" Hiccup said politely. Hiccup doesn't want to be anything like his father; impolite, impatient, rude, and a terrorist.
"What is the first reason for the two-column proofs?"
"Given, because that is usually the first reason also because I have actually been paying attention the whole time." Hiccup completed the rest of the two-column proofs for everyone so that they didn't have to get called out.
Mr. Mildew just huffed and continued teaching the class. Meanwhile, Hiccup noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
A student passed a note to another student, who passed it to another student, who passed it to another student, and the process kept repeating until it got to where Hiccup sat, which was on the opposite side of the room all the way in the back corner, where Hiccup liked it. Hiccup slowly opened the note. He wondered why everyone thought it was so funny.
What is the difference between Hiccup and a mosquito?
Nothing, they are both a pesty waste of air and space.
Hiccup stared at the note with hurt. Hiccup ripped the paper in halves until it could no longer rip, then he threw the pieces of paper away, anyway.
Rest of the class went fine for Hiccup. The class had no homework assigned meaning Hiccup could have some more time to himself in the bathroom. After math came lunch. Hiccup never ate lunch. He hasn't even eaten in days. Hiccup would always hide in the bathroom and cut himself with a knife he sneaks to school and/or picks at his scabs until they open up and leak blood everywhere. Or Hiccup decides if he wants to take his life early.
today Hiccup just cut himself. Usually, he gave himself one or two but the letter really bothered him. So he gave himself ten. He made sure they were deep.
Hiccup wrapped his wounds in toilet paper and covered up the proof with his sleeve. It is a difficult process. Hiccup hid the knife in his shoe and walked out of the stall to go wash his hands.
"What happened?"
Hiccup looked for the source of the voice. It was a boy (obviously) with wild black hair that almost touched his shoulders. He had toxic green eyes and pale skin. He was tall and muscular. And he seemed to actually care about Hiccup, which surprised him.
"Bloody nose." Hiccup replied.
"Oh, I hate it when that happens." The boy didn't seem convinced by Hiccup's excuse but decided to let it slide. For now.
The rest if the day was wonderful (a little bit of sarcasm there, actually a lot). In IE, people passed around several hurtful notes. In Hiccup's sixth-hour Adventure class (it's a gym class where you can rock climb and things like that), Hiccup was not belayed properly. He fell a lot and got hurt because he was not caught fast enough. In his seventh hour English class, people were reading poems that were hand-written about any topic. Let's just say everyone chose to make fun of Hiccup in a more creative way. After school, Hiccup was corned by Snotlout Jorgenson and the Thorston twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, which actually helped. At least no one noticed that Hiccup was walking funny.
When Hiccup got home he was yelled at then beaten for no reason other than his father is drunk and still grieving over the loss of his wife and other son.
Why did they have to leave me behind?

I hope you all enjoyed this. I apologize if this chapter is too short. I will make sure I make a longer chapter next time. Otherwise, have a great day/night!
