Three weeks after the accident
The three weeks felt like three years. Astrid is slowly spinning out of control, watching Hiccup every day in the damn hospital room.
"I have to go back to school soon." Astrid told Hiccup "That means I won't be here that often, so if you wake up and I'm not here, that's why. Not because I ran off with some hunky doctor. I could never leave you, you scrawny chicken boy, that I will never understand.
"You're my rock Hiccup... if you leave... if you leave I'll have nothing. I hate to admit that, but it's true. I'm glad you are in a coma so you can't hear this. Toothless hates me now... he refuses to eat, I have to force feed him. This is hard on everyone Hiccup, if you don't wake up soon I'm so gonna kick your ass.
"The trial sucks, it still would have if you were there, but it would be somehow better, with you making some useless joke that no one think is funny... that's one thing I hate about you, you like your so funny but really you're a big dork. How I became your girlfriend I'll never know... how the hell do you talk to Toothless like this? It's hard!" Astrid laughed and gripped his boney hand "You are skinnier than normal, when you wake up I'm force feeding you doughnuts... and I know..."
The door opened, followed by a 'Shit! Stupid gurney!' and in walked in Ruff and Tuff.
"You guys scared me..." Said Astrid
"Sorry, that damn gurney was in my way..." Said Tuff
"Yeah, I'm sure that damn gurney jumped right in front of you just to piss you off." Stated Astrid
"It did!" Cried Tuff
The two girls rolled their eyes and Astrid let go of Hiccups hand.
"Is- does he always look... you know..." Whispered Ruff
"What do you think!?" Said Astrid
"Don't need to get at me Astrid." Stated Ruff
"Look, it's been a long three weeks okay. It sucks to see him like this."
"I wouldn't know..."
Astrid looked back at Hiccup "I would kill to see him move..." Astrid was cut off by a loud beeping noise "HICCUP!" Astrid looked at his heart moderator and saw the damn straight line.
"Sorry..." Said Tuff, putting the heart wire back on "I didn't know what it was..."
Astrid looked at Ruff, who just shrugged
"Toothless, come on buddy. You need to eat." Astrid sighed and rubbed her forehead "Toothless, please..."
Toothless whined and laid down. Astrid frowned at the black lab.
"Come on Toothless, work with me..." Toothless walked away
Astrid rolled her eyes and rested her head in her hands.
"I can't do anything right..." She whispered
"Astrid?" Said a booming voice that made Astrid jump "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you..." Said Stoick
"It's fine Mr. Haddock... I just... it's a mess..."
"I know it seems hopelessly, but I'm sure Henry will be just fine."
"But Mr. Haddock..."
"Please call me Stoick."
"Stoick, it's been three weeks..."
"Just have faith okay."
Astrid sighed and grabbed Toothless' food dish.
"He's not going to eat."
"He will if I have anything to do with it!"
She hates the stares. It was like everyone thought she was the one who ripped off Hiccup's leg.
Astrid only sprained his finger, not ripped off anyone's leg... yet.
She hates the rumors. 'Did you hear about Hiccup? I heard he did that just to impress Astrid.' 'I heard that Hiccup did it as a suicide attempt. But he even failed at that.'
She hates the fact that... that he hasn't woken up yet...
"Astrid..." Said Fishlegs and Astrid snapped out of her thoughts
"Hm?" Asked Astrid
"Are you alright? I mean you've been standing at your locker for like... ten minutes staring into space..."
Astrid rolled her eyes "I'm peachy..."
Peachy? Did Astrid Hofferson just say peachy? What has the world come to?
"If you need to talk about it... I'm here. Just know that..."
"I know Fishy... I know..."
Astrid feels like she's going to puke. Sam is staring at her like a piece of meat up on that stand and she hates that she still scared of him.
What the hell does Hiccup know anyway? She's not strong, she's weak. She shouldn't be scared of someone... someone who is...
Well, like Sam.
Hiccup is stronger than her, and- and she hates that she comparing herself to him. Hiccup, her boyfriend. Hiccup who saved her. Hiccup, who put her in the damn trial in the first place...
And yet, she can't hate him. And she doesn't understand why.
"Ms. Hofferson please pay attention."
Shit, that's right she's in court...
Four Weeks
Maybe it was the way he walked, straight into her heart and stole it?
Astrid is never listening to Ruff again, listening to One Direction did not help.
Astrid is going to burn all those CDs.
Astrid rolled onto her left side and pulled the blanket over her head. Astrid hasn't slept properly in four weeks, getting 3-4 hours of sleep at most every night.
Astrid kicked the blanket off and laid on her back. She keeps picturing Hiccups pale and boney face in the too big hospital bed, instead of tinkering with something and annoying the hell outta her.
She can't believe she's admitting this but, she misses his corny jokes. She misses the useless facts that no one cares about expect him. She misses that stupid gap between his teeth that just makes his smile a thousand times better. She misses his sarcasm, even though most of the time she hates it. She misses the way he trips.
She misses… him.
Astrid has never needed anyone before, and she hates the way she feels when she's not around Hiccup. Like she's a lost puppy or something. She hates the way that she has become dependent on Hiccup.
It's a new, unwelcoming feeling.
Astrid sat up in her bed and sighed. She looked at her alarm clock and it read 3:34 A.M. and she has school tomorrow, court and has to visit Hiccup tomorrow. How much can a seventeen year old handle? Astrid turned on her bed side lamp and grabbed her phone.
Maybe the internet will help…
Astrid threw her phone across her bedroom and groaned. Stupid statistics. What did they know? That didn't help at all.
This is all her fault. Hiccup is going to wake up not knowing who he is, and it's all her fault.
Hiccup is going to hate her when (or if) he wakes up.
And she wouldn't blame him if he did.
"It would be nice if you woke up Hiccup, because this really funny anymore. It really isn't. It was funny the first few hours, but now… it's been four weeks. Four weeks. A whole month since that stupid accident. I want you to wake up." Astrid sighed "Okay… I need you to wake up Hiccup. There I said it. I need you. It sucks that I have to admit it, but I do, so wake up the hell up!"
Astrid looked up as the door opened. A smiling nurse walked in.
"Hello Astrid, nice to see you again." Said the nurse
"Hello Janice. How are you?" asked Astrid
"Fine, just getting ready to head on home. Just need to check on Henry here…"
"How… how is he?"
"The same as he was four weeks ago Honey." Janice the nurse sighed "Astrid, honey, you look like you need a nap. Why don't you head home?"
"I can't. What if he wakes up and I'm not here? He'll hate me even more! Janice, I know you are a nurse but…"
"I get it honey… I'll see you tomorrow okay."
"Okay… bye…"
Astrid looked at Hiccup as the door shut. She gripped his boney hand and kissed it.
"I promise I be here when you wake up. I promise…"
Does this count as a cliffhanger? Because I think I put too many cliffhangers out there for you... ;)
But you can never have too many cliffhangers!
Be excited for the next chapter! I know I am! See ya Monday!
