Thank you so much for all the support guys I really appreciate it. Let's get down to chapter 2.

"Hiccup!" Astrid yelled "Hiccup! Where are you? It's me Astrid".

"Astrid?" A low voice came.

"There you are I was so worried" she said as she saw him sitting on a bench in the dark. She sat beside him and hugged him gently.

"I'm so sorry for what happened but believe me they wouldn't dare to do anything like that again. I taught them a lesson" she tried to comfort him.

"Thanks" he smiled slightly and hugged her back. He didn't want to let go. He felt cheated by the world but around her he felt loved. He felt appreciated.

They broke the hug. She looked at his beautiful forest green sad eyes and her heart broke. How come anyone hurt someone like Hiccup, someone so kind, so innocent.

"Hiccup there is something I want to say. And I don't know, don't care if it sounds weird or pathetic but I" she paused. Hiccup seemed curious to know what she was trying to say.

"I love you. Not in just a friendly way but" she sighed. Hiccup's eyes widened as he heard what she had said. He loved her too and always wanted to tell her but in the process he didn't want to lose his only friend.

"I don't know what you think about me. It's okay even if you don't because you can't force anyone" she completed her sentence. Hiccup laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" She asked

"Because that's what I wanted to say to you since forever. I feel the same way about you. I just didn't know how to express it or maybe I didn't want to"

"Why not?"

"Because I couldn't lose you." He replied. For a moment they stared into each others eyes.

"Oh would you look at that it's 10 pm already. I'm on Curfew. " She told him.

"Yeah...right. Curfews" he replied nervously. Neither of them wanted to talk about what happened a few seconds ago. It's like it never happened.

"Thanks for walking me home" Astrid thanked him.

"Of course. What are friends for" he replied. She reached for the door of her house but before she entered. She walked to Hiccup and gave him a peck on the cheek.

He seemed surprised.

"Good night" she wished

"Good night" he replied and left for his house.

"Hiccup! You're back. So how was the prom?" Valka asked as she saw her son entering the house. Stoick was sitting in the drawing room working on something.

"It was good. I enjoyed a lot" he lied

"Hiccup? Look at me. You're lying aren't you? Something happened?" She caught him. He was a terrible liar.

"I don't want to talk about it. I just want to go to bed" he replied

"O-okay then we'll talk tomorrow" she said.

Hiccup nodded and went upstairs to his room. Valka watched him sadly and walked to the drawing room.

"He's upset. I wonder what happened?" She said

"He's a teenager. You don't have to worry about him" Stoick replied

"Yes but he's not like most teenagers out there."

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. Why do you do this to him? He's your only son"

"I don't want to do any of this but his obsession with Dragons. When will he grow up? I want him to follow my footsteps. To carry on the family business but he's not even interested"

"He wants to be somebody of his own. You can't force him"

"So I'm not forcing him. He's free to do whatever he wants"

"But you're not giving him the love he deserves. That's not fair"

"I don't want to hear another word on this topic." Stoick stood up and went to his room. Valka sat there worried and sad for her child.

"Good morning Mrs. Haddock Hiccup's home?" A girl said entering their house. It was Astrid. Valka smiled as she saw Astrid. She was Hiccup's good friend.

"Ah yes but he's still sleeping. I don't know but he seemed kind of off yesterday" valka replied

"He didn't tell you anything." Astrid asked. Valka shook her head.

"What? But he didn't tell me anything" valka said as she heard what had happened yesterday from Astrid.

"He didn't want you to be worried." She replied.

"Where is he anyways" she asked

"Up in his room" valka replied

"Good morning" Hiccup greeted as he came downstairs.

"Oh hi Astrid" he said

"Hi. How're you feeling?" Astrid asked

"I'm good"

"Hiccup why didn't you say something yesterday?" Valka asked

"Oh so you know."

"I'm so sorry for what happened"

"Why are you apologizing mom? It's not your fault"

"Well you hungry?"

"No but I have to talk to you about something" he said

"What is it?" Astrid asked

"I have to go" he answered

"Go? Go where?" Valka asked

"To find my destiny"

"Hiccup! Stop this whole 'Destiny' thing already. Besides you don't find destiny it finds you" Astrid told him

"I've got an invitation from a collage in London, something I've always wanted. They liked my presentation and I have to go"

"Son? Don't leave us like that."

"You have to understand Mom. I will finally be somebody"

"But you are somebody. You're you"

"But not that somebody the world appreciate. I will have to leave in next 3 days"

"Well it's your life and your dream but we will always be here for you" Astrid said

"Thank you" he smiled.

That afternoon Valka thought about what Hiccup had said. 'He wants to go away. He didn't think about me?. But he wants to get away from this place and besides he's not going for forever. He'd come back' she thought

It would be wrong to stop him. It was his life time chance and her feelings could not get in the way of that. Hiccup saw his mother lost in her thoughts and came to her.

She was lying on a couch. He walked to her and sat down on the floor beside the couch. He placed his head in her lap. She noticed him. She sat up and began to run her fingers through his hair.

"You know for a 15 years old this is pretty embarrassing" Hiccup said

"But it's your mother. There's nothing to be embarrassed about that right?" She replied

"Yeah I guess but if it's the only place that provides you comfort then no it's not embarrassing" she smiled at his reply.

"Have you packed yet?" She asked

"Yes I'm ready to leave tomorrow " he replied

"You don't want to tell your dad"

"Would that even matter?"

"But he's your father. Okay I'll tell him how about that?"

"Fine." Was all he said.

It was evening and Stoick had returned. They were at the dining table.

"Stoick there's a good news" valka said

"Good news? What is it?" He asked

She looked at Hiccup who was lost somewhere in his thoughts. He was not eating but was playing with the food in his plate. She sighed.

"Hiccup is going to a collage in London" she replied

"Collage in London? That's seems very expensive" Stoick said. As soon as Hiccup heard those words anger rose inside him. He was not going to ask for money from his father.

"It won't cost you anything" he said trying not to show his anger.

"Oh then who will pay the dues. You?"

"I made a presentation last year. They asked me to submit it to them. They liked it and now I'm accepted there. Won't cost you anything. You know what why am I even telling you this? You don't even care. I'm not even your son. But believe me the day I stopped caring" he stopped himself from saying anything

Hiccup got up and walked and into his room.

"What did you do?" Valka asked

"Me? He didn't even listen to me. You think money is the problem. You know me better than that" he replied. She knew that Stoick didn't mean that but Hiccup did.

She followed Hiccup to his room but before she could knock, the door already opened. She saw Hiccup with his suitcases. She hugged him tightly.

He hugged her back "I'm sorry Mom but I can't stay. I have to go now" he whispered. Her eyes were filled with tears. She was happy for him but she didn't want him to leave like this.

He broke the hug and walked towards the door. "Sorry Dad" he said and left the house. Valka stood there looking at the door maybe just maybe he would come back

As soon as he closed the door behind him. He saw Astrid running towards him with something wrapped in a shiny paper. She seemed happy. Her smile faded away as she saw him with his suitcases. He was leaving?

"Hiccup you're going already?" She asked

"Yeah I have to" he replied.

Her eyes widened. Was she sad or mad maybe both. She gave him a very tight hug. She closed her eyes. He heard sobbing. Was she crying?

"Be safe and come back soon... I'll miss you" her voice was cracking. He looked into her eyes and wiped the tears from her face with his hands. He gave her a faint smile. She smiled back

"I will" with that he saw taxi coming and picked his suitcases. He left...
