Hey y'all! Nice to see you again! Now, this is going to make anyone with a heart (or a crushed soul from watching HTTYD 2 like yours truly, cry. I cried writing the chapter.) But it had to be done. Also! There is one line that I hate, but it had to be used for Scarlett's character. So, please anyone how self-harms, please don't take offense to that line. If you do finding anything offensive, please don't hesitate to let me know! I think that's it for that stuff, now my favorite part, answering your reviews!

Guest: Aw, don't worry! It all works out in the end! Don't cry! Thanks! That means a lot!

Blue Guest 2: But- Astrid's beeing cutting since the first chapter of Perfect... and of course Hiccup's blaming himself! Wouldn't you? And thank you! That means a lot, I've been on this site for three year (shit, I'm old) and I must agree that my writing has approved since my first story!

Hiccstrid4Life: Of course you can join the club! It's free! Val swearing was the highlight of that chapter! :') and Pewds is the best! Love him to death! And Minnesota is stupid, that's why we have no death penalty! Alright, time to move to Texas!

P.S: You don't need to write a story to be on Fanfiction *Hint Hint, Wink Wink*

P.P.S: That's good! And I did! I hope you did to! But I had to go back to school today, which sucked! And by the way, I was at the store with my sister, and I saw my principle, what are the odds!?

Anyway! I hope you like this chapter, and I'm so so sorry... I own nothing.


Scarlett Snow couldn't sleep. She kept tossing and turning. She kept seeing Stoick's paling face, then Henry's emotionless face. In the two years that she has known Henry, he has always had an emotion on his face. Scarlett heard Astrid's breakdown, which ruined the image that she's "The Strongest Girl I Know" that Henry had implanted in her brain.

Astrid isn't strong, not in Scarlett's mind, anyone who would succumb to to do that to themselves isn't strong.

Scarlett rolled to her side and looked at the alarm clock. 3:26 A.M. Scarlett frowned and pulled her phone off the charger. Scarlett pulled up Henry's number and dialed.

Hiccup had to be dragged out of the hospital at three in the morning ('You'll never take me alive! No wait... I'll leave, just put down the taser.") but he didn't go home right away. Hiccup knew that Astrid would be okay with his mother, and Scarlett would be okay by herself, even though there were two other people in the house. Scarlett was always independent. So was Astrid, but Astrid was, well, stronger than Scarlett. Astrid may not appear that way, with the scars, and the fresh cuts, but she never killed herself. She had tried, but never made it to death.

Hiccup must have dosed off, because he jerked awake to the sound of his ring tone. Hiccup wiped his eyes and pulled out his phone. He saw Scarlett's name on Caller ID and smiled.

"Where the hell are you?"

"Hello to you too Scarlett."

"No! You don't deserve a 'Hello'. Where the hell are you!?"

"Kid, I'm fine. I'll be home in a few minutes."

"Better come soon. Astrid already had one break down, who knows if she'll have another one."

Hiccup already had his car speeding down the road at the words 'break down'.

"Be there as fast as I can."


Hiccup tripped up the stairs in the attempt to get to Astrid. When he finally got to his room, he saw her curled up, holding his pillow close to her. Hiccup smiled and walked to her. He brushed her hair out of her face, because it was sticking to her mouth. Astrid stirred a little and opened her eyes.

"Hiccup..." She breathed, before jumping into his arms, and wrapping her legs around his waist. Hiccup stumbled backwards, losing his footing. His metal foot slipped on a shirt that was on the ground, sending them falling to the ground. Hiccup groaned as Astrid landed on top of him.

"Sorry..." Smiled Astrid

Hiccup groaned again. Astrid kissed his nose and got up.

"Yup, leave me here and let me die."

"Stop being dramatic, get up Loser."

Hiccup glared and stayed on the floor "I don't think I can." Astrid laughed and laid on his bed "You're going to leave me here?"

"Yup." Astrid pulled a blanket over her "Because you woke me up." Hiccup took a breath, then sat up. "See, you got up."

"Hardy har har." Smirked Hiccup, and stood up, hobbling on his leg. Astrid's eyes widened as she gets ready to up. "I'm okay..."

Astrid looked down, running nervous hands through bed head hair.

"Hey," Hiccup sat on his bed, lifting her head with careful hands. Astrid put her hands over his "stop blaming yourself."

"I blame myself for everything."

"Stop, because none of this is your fault."

"How could you say that. You're dad is-" she choked on her words. Ugh, why is she so weak? She hates it. "because of me."

"Hey." Hiccup brushed her bangs out of her eyes "Did you pull the trigger?"

"Well, no-"

"Then it's not your fault!"

Astrid smiled, eyes tearing up "How do I deserve you?"

"I don't deserve you. The last thing I deserve is you. I never would have thought that I would get you back. That necklace," They looked at the necklace around Astrid's neck. She touched it while smiling. "was an impulse buy while at the mall. I saw it and thought about your eyes."

Astrid smiled and brushed his hair out of his eyes "You need rest." Astrid frowned at the bags under Hiccup's emerald green eyes.

"Well, if you just shut up I would." Hiccup smirked and Astrid gasped.

"You jerk!"

"I'm kidding!" Smiled Hiccup, tickling her sides.

"Stop it!" Snapped Astrid, pushing Hiccup away from her. Hiccup smirked and kissed the back of her neck. "That's- that's not, ohhh, fair." Astrid elbowed him in the stomach.

"Ow! That's going to leave a bruise."

"Good!" Astrid frowned. Hiccup wrapped his arms around her stomach, kissing her neck softly. Astrid bit her lip, stopping a moan

"I hate you..." She breathed

"I know..."

"This isn't fair."

"Life isn't fair." Hiccup mumbled against her neck

Astrid twisted out of his grasp "Time for bed?"

Hiccup's mouth fell open "Tease."

"You know it. Now, go to bed."


Val walked into the kitchen the next morning to find her son on the phone.

"Okay. I wanted to let you know. I know how close you and dad are. He's on life support right now. Yeah, when he gets better you two can gang up against me. Oh, gotta go. Bye Rosemarie. Love you to." Hiccup hung up and sighed

"Henry?" Said Val, and Hiccup jumped violently "Oh, sorry Son."

Hiccup sighed "It's fine Mom."

"So, who's Rosemarie?" Asked Val

"Oh, she's a lady I work with. Her and dad got close over the two years. They like to make fun of me."

Val smiled "How old is she?"

"Forty five. She likes to act like my mother. She has five kids, and is a sweet, sweet lady. She threaten to ground me before."

Valka smiled "Oh Love," She kissed his head "I'm sorry."

"It's fine. She threaten to fly out here to. Her and Dad are close, they liked to make fun of the fact that I didn't have a girlfriend." Hiccup jumped on the counter. "I have to go to the hospital later. Wanna come?"

"I-I don't think I can..."

Hiccup looked down "You have known him longer..."

"But I also left him. I was the worse wife... I left because of a stupid reason."

"It wasn't stupid. You believed in something and-"

"You were six months old Henry. And I left and never looked back. I knew that I wasn't going to be a good mother. So I left." Valka wasn't looking at Hiccup anymore. She was staring out the window above the sink, shaking. "I knew my parents were right. I knew-"

Hiccup jumped down from the counter and walked over to his mother. "Mom I-"

"No Henry. Please..."

"Okay, so you left! That doesn't change the fact that I love you, and that dad loves you too. I will always love you mom..."

Val looked over her shoulder, tears streaming down her face "I'm scared... I don't want to lose your father again..."

Hiccup's lip trembled "I know..."

Val squeezed her eyes shut. "I hate that Sam character."

"Don't worry, we all do..."


Samuel Evens died the day after the shooting. Hiccup found out when he stepped into the hospital. His father's doctor ran into him and gave him the news. First, Hiccup didn't know what to think. Then he felt a weight being lifting off his shoulders. That's one thing he didn't have to worry about right now. Then he felt bad. It was his fault that he was shot, and now he is dead.

Hiccup sighed and walked to his dad's room. The small rise and fall of his father's massive chest did little to comfort Hiccup.

"Dad... I don't think I told you a lot, but I love you. You weren't always the best dad, but if I got my head out of my ass for a second, I would've seen how hard you tried. You got shot for me, and most parents just say that they would take a bullet for their kid, but you... how do you become someone this great, this brave. I guess you just have to try." Hiccup sighed "Why am I talking to you like you're dying? Because you're going to live... you have to live." His voice cracked "you're going to live."

Hiccup laid his head on his dad's massive hand

Then, it happened. The Heart Monitor went crazy. Hiccup jumped up.

"Dad? Dad! Help! There's something wrong! Dad! Stay with me!" Suddenly doctors ran in and pushed Hiccup aside

"Step aside son! Clear!" One doctor said, before jumping Stoick's heart "Get that boy out of here! Clear!"

Hiccup didn't move, he couldn't move. "Dad?" He asked weakly

"I said get that boy out of here!"

"Dad!" Hiccup yelled, before being pulled away "Get off of me! I need to save him! I-" Hiccup sobbed before being place in the waiting room

"Stay." The doctor ran back

Hiccup couldn't breath. He sat down and pouted. His green eyes were watery as his hands shook. Should he call his mother? Maybe; when he gets the feeling back in his body. He-he needs to get back in there. He needs to do something right! He needs to save his dad. Why wouldn't they let him help! He was- a CEO at a Prosthetic Firm, he was just as good as any doctor.

Okay, that's not true. But he needs to help.

He needs to save his father...


It was thirty minutes before Hiccup heard the doctor walk to him. Hiccup stood up, shaking.

"Hello Henry,"

"Well?"

"There's no easy way to tell you this Henry."

And the world stop spinning. Everything stopped. Hiccup stumbled backwards and sank into a chair.

"We tried everything we could. There was no brain activity. We had to pull the plug on him."

"You gave up!" Screamed Hiccup "My dad was stronger than that! He would've made it!"

"Henry-"

"No! It's not fair! He didn't know! He can't be dead! I wouldn't believe it! No!"

"Henry, calm down-"

"Don't tell me to calm down! You killed my father!"

"Henry we had no choice."

Hiccup took a couple of breaths. He looked down. "I'm sorry for yelling."

"It's okay..."

"I have to tell my mom... shit."

The doctor patted his shoulder, before walking away. Hiccup let the news sink in. His father was dead. His father is gone. His father is never going to see his grandkids. His father would never see him married.

And Hiccup knew exactly whose fault it is.


Astrid smiled at Toothless as he ran to get the ball she threw. Astrid wondered when Hiccup was going to be home. She heard the door slam and turned her head. Astrid smiled at her boyfriend, but after seeing his red, watery eyes, she feared the worst.

"Get the hell away from my dog!"

"What?" Asked Astrid

"Henry! Calm down!" Val ran after her son

"You!" Hiccup pointed to Astrid with a shaking finger "You ruined my life! You're the reason for everything wrong in my life. You're the reason I lost my foot, you're the reason Sam died, and you're the goddamn reason my dad died!" Astrid backed into a tree while Hiccup followed her "And I never want to see you again! I can't believe I actually came back! You're the reason for everything!"

"Henry Horrendous Haddock the Third!" His mother yelled at him

"Hiccup, stop talking crazy. You told me-"

"I told you a lot of shit didn't I Astrid!? Here's one thing I haven't said! I hate you! I hate you Astrid!" Hiccup was dangerously close to bursting into tears any second, and Astrid assumed that Hiccup is just taking out his sadness out of her. Hiccup can't really mean all of this. Can he?

"Hiccup? Please just, take a breath."

Hiccup's lower lip trembled, before falling to his knees, sobbing violently. Astrid carefully wrapped her arms around her sobbing boyfriend.

"Sh, sh, you're okay." Whispered Astrid

"I didn't mean it Milady," Hiccup sobbed "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." Astrid pulled him into her lap "Let it out, just let it out."

"Don't leave me Astrid... please. I can't take it again, not you too."

"You're okay, I'm not going anywhere." Astrid kissed his forehead, and looked up at Valka, who was crying silently. "Don't worry Hiccup. I promise I'm not going anywhere..."


Again, I'm sorry... it had to be done... :(
