Jack instantly stood up upon reading the text, fear and shock gripping his heart while panic tore at his mind. The girls in the room turned towards him in confusion as he quickly zipped up his jacket and ran towards the door. He was nearly there when Merida grabbed his arm.

"Jack, wot's going on? Is somethin' wrong?" Merida's eyes were chilling with worry. The look was strange to her features and it made Jack stop in his movements.

"I-It's Hiccup, he's i-in the hospital. H-his leg...they have to..."Jack paused to inhale deeply, trying to steady his voice. "They have to amputate his leg." He finally managed to rasp out without his voice stammering.

"What? We have to go now!" Astrid said, rushing to the door with the other teenagers.

"We can take my car." Merida said. She quickly hopped in the driver's seat and started the car. The tires screeched as they sharply turned the corner onto the street. Jacks elbows were on his knees even though his right foot was bouncing violently. Anna leaned forward to where Jack was seated in the passenger's seat so she could put a reassuring hand on his arm. He looked back at her and gave a thankful nod and attempted to smile.

Anna leaned back into her seat, letting the tension seep in. She wanted to ask who Hiccup was and why he mattered so much to Jack, but she understood that silence was more comforting than any words. She looked over to Rapunzel and saw that her eyes, which were staring at her tightly clasped hands, were were watering. Anna's eyes turned to Merida, or what little she could see of the redhead. From her angle, though, Anna could see that her hands were white and shaking as she drove.

Elsa felt a collision of fright and concern in the atmosphere of the car and fell to her old habit of biting her knuckles. She had picked this habit up in elementary school, when she had been dubbed 'the Weird Kid' of the grade. It had distracted her whenever there were stressful or pressuring situations that made her uncomfortable or sad. She suddenly felt her hand being removed from her chin, leaving her teeth with nothing to bite on. She turned her head enough to see Rapunzel holding her hand between both of her own. Elsa let her hand be held through the rest of the car ride.

Astrid, who was sitting in the very back of the car, looked around at the sad faces and felt more anxiety turn around in her gut. She was doing her best not to fall apart and rip her hair out. She had gone to school with Hiccup since Kindergarten and considered him to be a good friend. She also knew Jack and Merida would be just as torn up about it.

As soon as they reached the hospital, Merida dropped her friends off at the entrance and went to park the car. The four of them rushed to the information desk, got Hiccup's room number, and rushed to his room. They slowed into a walk as they neared his room, trying to calm themselves. Jack stepped forward to knock on the door, but was pulled back gently by Astrid when his hands started shaking to much to form fists to knock.

"It's open." Hiccup's mother called to them.

They silently walked into the room, to Hiccup's bed. His mom was sitting in a chair, turned towards her son. They tiptoed closer to the pair, preserving the quiet as if when it was broken, Hiccup would shatter in front of them. They could see that Hiccup was pale and unconscious with an IV in his arm, keeping him under.

"Hello Mrs. Haddock, how are you holding up?" Astrid asked sympathetically, standing next to the woman.

"I'm just scared for my son. He's going to surgery tomorrow. He-he's just going to get pulled under by drugs, than wake up without a leg! It's just...what will his life be like after this? I'm so worried for him." The brunette woman sighed and looked down at the tissue in her hands.

Elsa and Anna were respectfully quiet since they didn't know Hiccup or his mother. Rapunzel, on the other hand, went up to his mother and wrapped her arms around the older woman to comfort her. She also began to stroke her hair soothingly, which calmed Mrs. Haddock.

"You should probably go home and get some sleep. We'll call you if anything happens." Astrid continued to persuaded her to go home, get some rest and eat something before coming back tomorrow. Finally, Mrs. Haddock agreed and left to go home as Merida came through the door.

"How is 'e?" The redhead asked, regaining her composure as she saw Hiccup was in no pain. She pushed some loose curls out of her face, ones that had gotten loose on her run up here.

"They're going to operate tomorrow." Jack said solemnly. Elsa gave her cousin and awkward one-sided hug, which he returned. Astrid and Merida were talking and reassuring each other that everything was going to be fine. Anna soon joined the two, using some of her optimism to boost their confidence. Elsa and Rapunzel began talking as they sat on two of the chairs.

After a while of talking, Anna felt her curiosity bubbling up at a dangerous rate. She had waited long enough for her answers, she was going to get them dang it! I mean, she's in the man's hospital room, she should know a little bit more about him other than the fact Jack was completely messed up over his injury. She leaned forward to look Jack dead in the eye and rested her elbows on her knees. Elsa could see this and tried to interfere, but was to late. "So, Jack, who exactly is Hiccup?"

"Anna, now is not the time." Elsa sighed in exasperation. Really, his friend was in pain and about to get his leg cut off, they didn't need to do this at the moment.

"It's fine, Elsa." Jack said, giving her a small smile and looking towards his younger cousin. He was just glad to have something to do other than sit in this unbearable silence.

The other girls had stopped their own conversations to tune in to Jack and Anna's. Even Elsa had leaned forward in her chair, a questioning now showing through in her eyes. He gave his audience an uneven smile before he began his story.

"Hiccup, um, he's kind of hard to explain..."

"So I'm getting my leg amputated tomorrow." Hiccup said to Hamish and Jackson. Hamish gasped lightly and Jackson shook his head sadly. They both moved to comfort him. He let them console him with their kind, soothing words. "I'm kinda scared. What's going to happen?"

"Well, you'll just learn to live without it," Jackson said bluntly. "And if you're anything like Hamish, you'll pull off some miracle that will never fail to amaze me." Jackson placed a hand on the area connecting the machine to a severed leg and leaned in for a kiss. Hamish chuckled before taking the offered kiss. They separated, but Jackson tried to go in for another kiss, causing Hamish to try and bat him away.

"What he means to say is that you will be able to overcome it and you will have your friends to help you through it." Hamish said, swatting Jackson's shoulder as he tried to aim for Hamish's cheek. Jackson let out a small whimper of despair at the other. The brunette finally let himself be kissed on the cheek. Jackson smirked and Hamish nudged him just enough to get him to move an inch.

"Oh, you wound me, my love!" Jackson cried dramatically as he draped himself against his lover. Hamish sighed and smacked the back of Jackson's head. Jackson pouted and rubbed his head. Then a grin spread across his face when he felt the viking kiss the area of the 'injury.'

Hiccup looked at them, then back down at his leg. "So, you're saying I should be fine?" Hiccup asked them hopefully.

"Yes, you'll pull through." Hamish confirmed. "Now, you need to sleep. Remember, Jack will be there for you." He and Jackson began to fade away, saying their goodbyes.

Hiccup just tiredly waved as he stumbled into the REM cycle.

"Hiccup, well, he's a writer for the school newspaper, he's a damn good artist, he has a little brother named Toothless, he's incredibly smart, and unbelievably klutzy. You'll like him, he's just a bit shy." Jack said, gesturing to his cousins.

"Hiccup's really sweet! And nice! I'm sure you'll love him!" Rapunzel added helpfully. She nodded rapidly, eyes wide and smile warm.

"Yeah, as soon as he's cleared to leave, we'll all have to hang out together!" Astrid said, the stress she had been carrying since she heard the news.

Suddenly the door opened and Danny walked in to the room. He was panting hard and looked tired. He finally caught his breath, then turned around to look at them. He didn't even have to ask anything before Merida informed him of what was going on.

'Tomorrow?' Danny signed with a shocked expression on his face.

"Yeah." Merida answered, after translating. "Early in the morning, apparently."

Danny nodded grimly and took a seat on a spare seat from the other side of the room. They all stayed silent, but chose different activities, such as reading, drawing, or playing on their phone. A sudden emding/em startled them out of their trance. Danny blushed as he realized it came from his phone. Everyone relaxed back in to their original position when the blond went to answer his phone.

Danny unlocked his phone to see that it was a text from a number under the contact name 'Secret Admirer.' He gave a small smile to his phone. 'Hey, saw u leave the library early.Y?

'Hiccup got hurt, has to get his leg amputated tomorrow.' He replied after a quick glance to his friend.

'Holy shit, will he b okay(other than leg)?' The response had come in seconds.

'I hope so. I'm just worried.' He typed back. The smile that had been on his face had fallen into a sorrowful frown.

'Well, if u need anything, i'm here for u.' Danny's smile was back again before another text came in. 'I know this probably won't help but check in your normal spot in the library tomorrow in the morning.'

'what is it?'

'If i told u it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?' Danny gave a silent sigh before responding.

'Fine, i'll check tomorrow.' Danny said with a bright smile.

'I'll be eagerly awaiting ur text.' He gave a small laugh. The laugh wasn't loud, but Merida heard it and lead over to see what he was reading. She smiled at him when she had finished reading the conversation.

The doctor appeared in the doorway not long after. "I'm sorry, but you have to leave. Visiting hours are over and the patient needs more rest."

"Alrigh', thank ya." Merida said. She stood up with the rest of the group and left the hospital. Jack stopped when he heard a noise behind him. He turned around to see that Hiccup had changed positions. He was turned slightly towards a door, only slightly, with his head tilted and his arm outstretched towards Jack.

"You guys go on to the car, I'll meet you there. I think I left something in the room." Jack called to the other teenagers, who nodded and continued their walk to the car. The open hand seemed to summon him and Jack walked towards it, stopping when he heard a low whimper. It took him a couple of seconds before he realized the noise was coming from Hiccup.

Jack slowly stepped closer to Hiccup and nearly touched his hand, but drew back his hand. Hiccup made another small noise when Jack moved away from him. Jack moved his hand to pick up Hiccup's and lifted it to his lips. He placed a kiss on Hiccup's knuckles and smiled when Hiccup let out a less troubled sigh. He gave another quick kiss to his hand, then left to join the others.

Jack laid on his bed with his hands under his head. He let a shaky breath escape his lips and closed his eyes. All he could think was, why Hiccup? Why him? He doesn't deserve this! Wait, I was the one who had him come to get his homework and I couldn't stop him from crossing the street. I could have stopped him!

His thoughts were interrupted when his younger sister stepped into his room and jumped on to his bed, jerking Jack up from his laid-down position. "Jack, Jack!"

"What, what?" Jack said as he sat up.

"When can I see Hiccup again? I like him!" Pippa asked excitedly. She grabbed on to Jack's shoulders and smiled at him.

"Um, actually, Hiccup, he's in the hospital." Jack said. Guilt settled in his stomach when Pippa's smile turned to a deep frown.

"Why? Is he going to be alright? " Pippa's voice wavered.

"Yeah, I hope so." Jack answered.

Can we visit him?" Pippa asked as she started to calm down.

"Maybe next week." Jack continued to explain when Pippa opened her mouth to protest. "He needs to get surgery and he's going to need time to heal. Maybe when he starts to feel better, I'll take you up there to see him."

"Oh, okay. But we will go next week?" Pippa questioned.

"Definitely, now you need to go to bed." Jack said. He pulled his sister's arms off of him and led her to her room. "Alright, get some sleep, kiddo. I'll see you tomorrow." Jack pulled the covers up to her chin and kissed her forehead.

"Okay, goodnight, Jack." Pippa said from her spot curled up around a stuffed rabbit.

"Goodnight." Jack said. He turned off the lights and left the door slightly open.

He walked back into his room, changed into a pair of flannel pajama pants, and laid in bed. He stared at his ceiling, waiting for sleep to hit him. However, he couldn't sleep, he was to worried for Hiccup. His mind was filled of scenarios of how it could go wrong. He could tell he wouldn't be able to sleep for a while so he sat up and went over to his laptop on so he could watch Netflix.

After a couple of hours, Jack eventually felt his head start to droop and his body start to give in to sleep. Well, I better get some sleep for tomorrow. Jack stumbled over to his bed and fell asleep, hoping with everything he was that Hiccup would be alright.
