Hiccup felt pain on his left shoulder as he was yet again slammed into the wall. His forest green eyes meet up to met his attackers eyes light blue. "Why do you do this?" Hiccup asked weakly as he fell to the ground.
"Because you weak,annoying and a waste of space!" A white haired boy who has once been Hiccup's best friend spat. Jack had been Hiccup's best friend threw out elementary and made the life better. But then when high school started he abandoned him for the popular kids. Now he was the leader of the kids who bullied Hiccup.
Hiccup felt a kick to his side and he groaned in pain. "Awww do you need these to see? "Jack mocked as he picked up the smaller boys glasses of the ground.
"I need them to read give them back!" Hiccup yelled bravely standing up clutching his throbbing side.
"Oops!" Jack said as he dropped them to the floor.
"You did that on purpose!" Hiccup yelled.
"Wow Useless is not as dumb as he looks!" Jack said and laughed with the other kids behind him. "Remember your place Useless!" Jack yelled as he walked away with his so called friends who only liked him for his popularity.
Hiccup sank to his knees in the dark school gym floor. He was getting ready to go home when the kids had cornered him in the gym. He looked at his glasses the lens had broke leaving bits of stray glass everywhere. "What did I do to deserve this?" Hiccup asked himself in a quiet whisper.
"Why?!" Hiccup shouted and the only voice that answered him was his own bouncing off the walls. Tears came from the auburn haired boys eyes not from the pain from his bruises,the cuts on his wrist,not the names he had been called,but the fact that his only best friend had betrayed him. Hiccup whipped his tears and picked up the broken glasses he put them in his bag.
"Great what excuse am I gonna tell dad how my glasses are broke this time?" Hiccup asked his German Shepard Toothless. The German Shepard gave a bark as if it where a answer. "Your the only one who like me Toothless." Hiccup said petting his head. The dog gave a bark and licked Hiccup's hand. Hiccup smiled something he rarely did anymore.
Hiccup walked upstairs to his bedroom and locked the door. He sat his bag down and walked into the bathroom. Hiccup opened the bathroom drawer under the sink. He pulled out a shiny meatal object. Hiccup pulled up his green sweaters sleeve and placed the cold metal on his wrist. "Your useless." Hiccup said as he cut his wrist it stang for a second but Hiccup felt relief. "Your stupid." He continued and was about to cut up his arm when he was interrupted.
Hiccup heard the front door open and a bellowing voice yell "Hiccup I'm home!"
Hiccup panicked and quickly threw the blade back into the drawer.
Normally he'd just let his wrist bleed but he needed to stop it before his dad saw it. "Shit where's a bandaid when you need one!" Hiccup yelled as he frantically searched for one. He then searched threw the second draw throwing things to the ground. When he finally found what he was looking for and took the wrapper off fast with shaking fingers. Hiccup hissed as he put in on fast.
"Hiccup you alright?" Stoick asked his son.
"Uh yeah fine!" Hiccup yelled trying to pick up his mess fast.
"Alright I brought dinner!" His dad called up the stairs and Hiccup didn't respond.
"Teenagers." Stoick said shaking his head and sitting down at the table waiting for his son.
Hiccup pulled his sweater sleeve down and went downstairs to eat dinner hoping his dad didn't notice his missing glasses. "Where's your glasses?" Stoick asked his son. He clearly saw he was nervous and Stoick wondered why but didn't push him any farther.
"Um I uh dropped them!" Hiccup said quickly which made Stoick even more suspicious. What was the boy hiding?
Hiccup was relieved that his dad hadn't exactly caught on to the bullying issue. Hiccup didn't want his dad involved.
"Hiccup you need to be more careful I'm tired of buying you new glasses.This will be the fourth pair in three months!"
"I know sorry..." Hiccup said quietly even though the broken glasses wasn't his fault every time.
"Toothless why am I such a screw up?" Hiccup asked the black dog who nuzzled his hand sensing he is sad. "I don't know what I'd do without you bud." Hiccup said and Toothless licked his hand. Hiccup fell asleep but not peacefully.
"Useless!" A dark figure said as it came striding up to Hiccup who lay on the ground.
"I'm not useless your just mean!" Hiccup spat trying to stand up. He manged to somehow weakly get up.
"Don't you know to keep your mouth shut!" The figure came closer it had blue eyes that periced into his soul and made him want to disappear. Jack. Jack Frost his old friend now enemy. Just looking onto them made Hiccup uneasy. Suddenly a hand grabbed at his throat choking the air out of him. Hiccup's eyes rolled into the back of his head as he struggled to loosen the grip on his neck. He clawed at the attacker and thrashed his legs around but nothing was working. "Remember your place Useless!" Jack yelled as he let go and Hiccup felt like he was falling. The blackness came closer enveloping him untill it's all he saw. He then heard a voice in the blackness say one last thing "No one cares about you die already!"
"No!" Hiccup yelled as everything went black.
Hiccup awoke realizing it was just a dream. He was sweating and his hands where holding his bed sheets shakily.
Toothless was awoken from his slumber and looked worriedly at his boy. Hiccup hadn't been the same in years Toothless thought. He jumped up on the bed and Hiccup put his head into the dog's neck. He started to cry Toothless was confused but he let the boy cry. Hiccup held onto the dog as if he was going to disappear into thin air. Toothless would protect his boy with his life and his very soul. What ever was bothering him Toothless wouldn't let it hurt him. But their's nothing he could do and what if it was already hurting Hiccup on the inside?
