"You dirty whore."

"No, Sam I-"

"How dare you spend time with him?!"

"You don't understand-" Astrid backed into the corner. What was going on? He wasn't usually like this, they had just starting dating. Sure, he was verbally abusive, but never been like this.

Sam moved a pot off a scalding hot burns of her stove top, and grabbed Astrid's hand. Astrid tried to pull her hand away, but his grip was too strong.

"No, no. Sam stop!" Sam pressed her hand on the burner with crazy eyes, and Astrid screamed, tears spilling out of her eyes-

"Astrid! Astrid! Calm down! You're having a nightmare! Wake up!"

Astrid's eyes opened with a jerk and she saw Hiccup hovering her, worried, tired eyes.

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to wake you."

"You were screaming in your sleep again."

"Sorry. I didn't mean to wake up."

"You didn't." Hiccup pulled Astrid into his arms. "What was it about?"

Astrid shrugged "Nothing." She really couldn't tell him about her PTSD, his dad had just died, like two days earlier, and hasn't slept since their always fight. Astrid didn't let what Hiccup said about her get to her... that much. "It's not big deal."

"It's a big deal to me..." Said Hiccup, pushing hair off of her face.

"Why weren't you sleeping? I gave you Melatonin to help you." Astrid ignored Hiccup, because she knows he doesn't really care. "That helped me after you ditched town."

"In my defense, I tried to tell you, but there was always a guy, or your mom..."

"What guy?" There was a guy? Why can't she remember him? Damn it memory loss...

"That guy, Johnny something."

Astrid smiled "Oh yeah, he was gay, you idiot."

"I knew that." Blushed Hiccup

"I have work in the morning." Astrid stretched and laid down.

Hiccup pushed her blond bangs out of her eyes and kissed her forehead.

"Are you going to sleep?" asked Astrid

Hiccup shrugged and kissed her again. Hiccup was staying over at her apartment again "I might leave before you get up,"

Astrid cupped his cheek "You don't have to. You can stay here."

Hiccup sighed and traced the cut on her right cheek. "I have to pack. I'm leaving in three days. And my mom is probably worried."

Astrid looked away "I want you to stay…"

"I know you do, Milady. But-"

"Your job is there… I know." Astrid bit her lip "I missed you too much."

"I missed you to Astrid." Hiccup kissed her. Astrid wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him close to her. Hiccup cupped her cheeks, stroking them with his thumb. Astrid wrapped her legs around his waist, moaning.

Hiccup pulled away and Astrid pouting "Why'd you pull away?"

"Because, you have work tomorrow."

Astrid licked her lips and kissed him again. Hiccup moaned, but pulled away.

"Fine," Astrid pushed away Hiccup and turned on her side.

"Astrid, come on. Don't be like that." Hiccup rubbed her back

"Leave me alone."

"I love you."

"I guess I love you to…"

"You know you love me."

Astrid looked over her shoulder and smile "I love you so much."

Hiccup kissed her and held Astrid close.

"Astrid…"

"Hm," Astrid had closed her eyes, and held Hiccup's hands

"I'm sorry I let you get kidnapped again…"

"It's not your fault."

"Yes it is… I promised to protect you and I failed."

Astrid played with Hiccup's hands "You tried. That's all I'm asking for."

"I don't deserve you." Hiccup mumbled into her hair

"I know, now. Let me sleep."


Astrid sat at her desk, typing up appointments for the hospital she works up when she heard a gasp. She looked over at Alex, who sits at the desk next to hers, and frowned.

"What?" Astrid asked

"Hot guy, three o'clock."

Astrid looked up and she saw a big, buff guy with black hair and pricing blue eyes. And he walked right to her.

"Hello," He said, British accent dripping on every word "I have an appointment."

"Okay, name?"

"Eret." He said

Astrid faked a smile and typed "Last name?"

"Eret Harrison."

Astrid typed "Insurance card?"

"Here." Eret handed her the card with a wink.

"Down boy. I'm taken." Said Astrid

"I'm sure I have no idea what you are talking about Ms." Eret looked at her name tag "Hofferson."

"Here is your card. The copay is $35 dollars."

Eret handed her a debit card and she ran it through. "Do you want a receipt?"

"No thank you Ms. Hofferson."

Astrid glared slightly at him and handed him his card.

"I'll see you later Ms. Hofferson." Eret walked away and Astrid let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"You can be such a bitch sometimes." said Alex, rolling her eyes

"I know." Astrid said, glaring at the back of Eret's head.


"Scarlett!" said Hiccup

"What?" Yelled Scarlett from her room

"Did you take my shirt?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Really Scarlett!?"

"I needed a shirt!"

Hiccup groaned "Where is it?"

"In my suitcase!"

"Okay, because I need that shirt for work!"

"I get it Henry!"

Hiccup laughed and continued to pack. He picked up a picture of him and Astrid from high school. In his hasty packing when he was in high school, he forgot mostly everything in his room. His dad left him a thousand dollars so he only packed a few clothes. Because all he wanted to do was leave. Because Astrid didn't love him.

She still hasn't said that she loved him, only that she thinks she loves him. But he's really trying not to think about that right now. Because they are not breaking up this time. He could never leave Astrid. He couldn't lose her like-

Like he lost his father…

Hiccup gripped his footboard and took deep breaths. Tears fell down his cheeks before he could stop them at the thought his father.

Hiccup looked up and wiped his eyes. He tried to compose himself, but it didn't work. Would he ever be okay again?

"Henry I have- are you okay?" Hiccup looked over his shoulder and saw Scarlett

"I'm fine." Hiccup tried to smile, but it wasn't quite there.

"Oh Henry…" Scarlett ran over to Hiccup and wrapped her arms around his neck. Hiccup stumbled back a little, before wrapping his arms around her waist.

"I'm so sorry…" Whispered Scarlett

"It's not your fault. Really. I should've just left you at home."

"No," Scarlett whispered "You couldn't ever leave me behind."

"I know." Hiccup held Scarlett tighter "Please don't leave me…"

"I won't."

Scarlett looked up and saw Astrid looking at them. Scarlett waved her over and Astrid walked over. Scarlett pushed Hiccup into Astrid's arms.

"Hey, hey. What's wrong Hiccup?"

"Nothing…" Mumbled Hiccup into her shoulder.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. Because I could take off the rest of the day and make sure you are okay…"

"Okay." Mumbled Hiccup

"Okay." Smiled Astrid, then looked at Scarlett "Thank you." She mouthed

"No problem." Scarlett mouth back, then walked away.


Astrid pushed hair off of Hiccup's forehead as he cried into her chest.

"Shh," Whispered Astrid "You're okay. You're okay. I've got you."

Hiccup screamed, making Astrid hold him tighter. "I'm so sorry." She whispered, wiping away his tears. "You're okay, let it out." Astrid kissed his forehead

"I miss you so much…" Whispered Hiccup

"I know. I know you," Astrid rocked him, holding him so close to him. "You'll be okay."

Hiccup looked up and tried to smile, but like before it wasn't there. Astrid wiped his tears away and pushed his hair out of his eyes.

"I love you…" He whispered

Astrid smiled and kissed his head "I love you to…"

"I'm sorry I'm such a mess."

"It's okay. It makes up for me in high school."

Hiccup kissed her softly, and laid down "I need to sleep…"

Astrid smiled "That's okay… I'll be back okay."

"Okay." said Hiccup, and Astrid kissed his head before walking out of the room.


Astrid grabbed a bottle of water and sat at the table. She drank some water and pulled out her phone. She heard footsteps coming into the kitchen, but stopping right in front of her. Astrid looked up and saw Scarlett.

"Can I?" Scarlett asked, pointing to a chair

"Sure, I don't own the house." Astrid stated, and Scarlett sat down.

"Um, Astrid. I just want you to know that Henry and I are honestly just friends. Um, when we got here and he saw you, I knew there wasn't any chance for me. I guess if I got my head out of my own ass for two seconds, I would've seen how crazy in love you two are."

Astrid smiled and looked down "I guess we are…"

"Look, I didn't mean what I said about you. You're pretty cool."

Astrid laughed "I think you're cool to."

Scarlett smiled "So, do you think we could friends?"

Astrid smiled at her "yeah, yeah I think we can."

"Good. We can team up against Henry."

"Always."

The girls laughed and Astrid stood up "I should go check on him."

"Yeah, you do that."

"Bye Scarlett."

"Later Astrid."

Astrid walked away and Scarlett bit her lip. Could she really be 'okay' with Henry dating another girl? She wasn't really sure, but all Scarlett knows is that if Astrid hurt Henry in any way, she's going down.


They said 'I love you' for the first time with anyone leaving the state! \(^-^)/ Way to go Hiccup!
