Hey! Sorry this took so long, I was going to update earlier, but my friend wanted to see The Imitation Game with me, great movie by the way, so yeah.
Review time!
Lorde: I know, my poor baby :( And of course Astrid is still cutting herself, and I guess the cat's coming out the bag… I have decided to make a trilogy… yes… I'll give everyone more details next (and final) chapter
Blue Guest 2: Thanks, I was in a rush to get that chapter done. I think they both need each other equally.
Guest (1): Sorry, Hiccup kinda has to go back… it's in the title…
Hiccstrid4Life: I know… I hate that feeling! And you are worth something, don't you ever think otherwise. And you'll see Rosemarie's reaction next chapter. And some needs to make that video! And I reblogged that because most of my friends are on the internet, including you :)
P.S.: My Vice Principle is way better than my principle, he's the coolest. I was walking out of my math class to use the bathroom once and he asked what I was doing and I told him I was skipping, and he said we should go to Wal-Mart and get food XD
P.S.S.: What are they teaching you in Brazil? THEY DON'T KNOW PEWDS! :O I love PewdieFlap… it's the best 'I'm not leaving here until I beat my girlfriend' I was going to use that line then I was like 'Hmm… better not…'
Guest (2): Here's your update!
Guest (3): Thanks! That means a lot to me!
So, I shouldn't keep you longer, here's chapter sixteen!
She couldn't stop. The blade sliding across her skin, blood dripping out her arm, no more pain.
Because Hiccup was leaving, and she couldn't stop him.
Then, she did something she hasn't done since high school. She started to cut a word in her arm.
U. G. L. Y.
Astrid leaned back and watched the blood drip out of her right arm. Astrid sniffed and closed her eyes. Why? Why can't she stop? Why was she so goddamn broken?
Blood, that was the smell in the air. There was so much blood. A cold, lifeless body, laying there, Hiccup saying "It's all your fault..." Over and over again. Echoing.
Astrid's eyes snapped open, her alarm clock blaring. It was before five in the morning, then she remembered. Hiccup was leaving today. She looked down and saw her arm covered in blood. The sheets around her were covered in blood.
Ringing, there was ringing. Astrid pulled her phone off the charger and saw Hiccup's name on the screen.
Hiccup: Hey you, plan takes off at nine, so we'll pick you around seven okay. I love you so much. I'm sorry that I have to go. Just know that I really love you. You're perfect.
Astrid couldn't help it... she bursted out in tears, clutching the phone to her chest.
She wasn't perfect. She was far from it. How could he think something like that?
Hiccup should be use to leaving. Really, he should. He's used to people leaving, and he's use to leaving people. Astrid walked out of her apartment building and started into Hiccup's arms.
"Hey Milady." Hiccup laughed and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Don't go," And suddenly it's three years ago, and Hiccup is confused, and scared. Torn between the love of his life, and an opportunity that an idiot would past up.
"Astrid," Hiccup's hands smoothed her hair "I have to."
"I love you."
"I love you to... I will always love you..."
The whole ride to the airport, Astrid clung onto Hiccup like he was her life line. In a way, he kinda was. Hiccup's hand was smoothing on her back, and Astrid moved closer to Hiccup.
"I love you." She whispered
"I love you to." Hiccup kissed her head, and his hand went up her shirt, not in a creepy way, and felt bumps of a straight line. He froze.
"I lost it last night..." Astrid whispered
Hiccup started at her, then pulled up her sleeve to look at the angry red marks covering her pale skin. Astrid waited for the lecture.
But, Hiccup leaned down and kissed everyone of her scars, new and old.
"I did this..." He whispered, eye's closing and Astrid felt his long eyelashes tickle her skin "I'm leaving, and I made you do you do this."
"Hiccup..."
Hiccup's hand tighten around her wrist, and just kept kissing her scars...
Battle scars from a war that she just can't win.
"You're hurting my hand." Commented Hiccup, as Astrid squeezed the life out of his hand
"I'm sorry, but I really don't want you to go." Stated Astrid
Hiccup dropped her hand and cupped her face "Astrid, I need you to listen. I love you. Do you understand. I will always love you. No one else. I don't matter that I live in a different state. You will always be Milady."
Astrid looked down "I love you to."
Hiccup lifted her chin and kissed her. Scarlett shifted her weight. "Uh, Henry, we have to go."
Hiccup let Astrid go and looked at his best friend.
"Okay…" Hiccup hugged Astrid one more time before walking over to his mom "You going to be okay?"
Val nodded "I'll be fine."
"I love you mom. Don't you forget it." Hiccup hugged his mom, and Val held onto her son as tight as she could.
Scarlett walked over to Astrid and sighed "I guess I'll be seeing more of you?"
"Yeah, I guess you will." Stated Astrid
"Astrid, truth be told, when Henry talked about you, he made you out to be this Valkyrie. And I hated you before I knew you. Now, after this… instresting vaction, I understand why you would do… what you do. Don't let what Sam told you three years ago get to you anymore. You're pretty and make Hiccup so happy."
Astrid just stared at her, confused "Why would you say things like that to me?"
"You're my best friend's girlfriend. I kinda have to like you." Scarlett shrugged "But I will kick your ass if you hurt him."
Astrid laughed "Please, I could kick your ass with one hand tied behind my back."
"I like a challenge." Smirked Scarlett
"Ready to go Scarlett?" asked Hiccup, shifting his carry-on to his left shoulder. He pointed at Astrid "You," Astrid bit her lip "I love you. Okay, I'll call as soon as I land." Hiccup kissed her cheek, then walked away.
Val put her hand on Astrid's back and walked to two walk away.
"Did I miss him! I'll kick his ass!" Cried Ruff, kicking Astrid's door open and running into her apartment.
"He left five hours ago." Whispered Astrid, sitting on her couch, which smelled so much like Hiccup, she considered throughing it out her third story window.
"I'll kick his ass!" repeated Ruff, her diamond ring sparkling in the sunlight
"Your wedding ring isn't helping any." Said Astrid, and Ruff slipped her hand into her pocket, a with 'Sorry'. "We're still together… that's good, I think."
"Man, I haven't seen you like this since high school." Stated Ruff, then looked around "Fishlegs! Get your ass in here! Your friend needs you!"
Fishlegs squeezed through Astrid's front door and frowned at the sight of Astrid, wrapping in a blanket staring at her blank TV.
"How was your honeymoon?" asked Astrid
"Astrid… come on you need to talk about this…" stated Fishlegs
Astrid stood up and stared at them "What do you know? You've never lost anyone you loved! I've lost him twice! Both times he has wanted to leave! Stop trying to make me feel better, because it's not working anymore! Come back when you know what it's like to lose someone!" Yelled Astrid, then stalking away to her room
Ruff looked at her husband "Come on Fishlegs, we're not wanted here…"
"It feels good to be home!" cried Scarlett, dropping her luggage in Hiccup's mud room.
"It would feel better if you be actually at home." Smirked Hiccup, and Scarlett slapped his chest
"Jerk," laughed Scarlett, then stopped when she saw Hiccup's face.
"Scarlett, when will it stop hurting. Me leaving like this."
"When Leo DiCaprio wins a Oscar." Stated Scarlett
Hiccup looked at Scarlett, then bursted out laughing, making Toothless bark loudly.
Astrid was alone. She was always alone, but there was something different.
Astrid looked around her apartment, and nothing was different.
Expect everything was. Everything smelled like Hiccup, everything had a memory of Hiccup, everything had something… Hiccup.
Astrid started to breath heavily as she stood up. Astrid walked over to a picture of her and Hiccup from high school and chucked it at the wall. She ran around her apartment and started to throw things around, pushing everything to the ground. Tears were falling down her face and she couldn't breath right.
This just isn't fair! Why? If Hiccup loves her as much as he claims he does, why does he up and leave like this!
After her mental breakdown, Astrid realized what she did. She ran over to the picture and tried to fix the glass, but it was broken beyond repair.
Much like she was at the moment. "Come on, fix… fix! Work with me goddamn it!" Astrid sat back on her knees, bawling her eyes out.
She needs Hiccup. Not in a girlish kind of way. But she loves him, and wants to be around him, and his stupid face, and stupid dog, and stupid clumbsy ways.
Astrid looked up from her lap and looked around. If Hicucp couldn't stay in Minnesota, then, why couldn't Astrid go to Florida?
Astrid breathed out laugh. She could live with Hiccup, and there has to be a job in Florida for her! Astrid stood up and ran to her phone, she dialed Ruff's number and pressed the phone to her ear.
"Henry, come on." Whined Scarlett
"Scarlett, you have school tomorrow. Go home, I'll be fine okay."
Scarlett looked at the front door and sighed "You're sure?"
"Absolfuckingutely." Stated Hiccup
Scarlett shook her head and walked out with a 'See ya tomorrow!'. Hiccup looked at Toothless
"I'm a terrible person aren't I?" Toothless barked "I knew it…"
"What do you mean you're moving to Florida?" asked Ruff
"I'm moving to Florida!" Laughed Astrid
"Oh my God. Astrid, have you lost your mind! I get that Hiccup leaving again is messing with your already messed head, but you can't just drop everything and leave the state for a guy!" Stated Ruff
Astrid threw her favorite clothes in a suitcase "I want to be with Hiccup! And-and this is the only way!"
"Astrid! You are nuts!"
"I love him, Ruff!"
Ruff took a step back "Do you understand how crazy this is, coming from you?"
Astrid looked away for a moment, before looking at Ruff "I love him. And I'm moving there, whether you like it or not."
"What if Hiccup doesn't want you there, Astrid."
"It's Hiccup… he's always going to want me." Ruff shook her head "Ruff, just trust me on this. Okay, I know what I'm doing… I think."
Yes! One more chapter after this!
