Chapter 4
Astrid climbed half way down the ladder before jumping off to run to Hiccup. She saw it happen.
He barrel rolled 4 times before the car turned mid air and landed on the top completely destroyed.
... Flashback to Hiccup
He was almost there 2 laps to go and 1 car to pass. He was on Dylan books ass trying to pass on the low and high side failing each time but through the frustration Hiccup fails to hear the car coming up behind him coming close. Realizing what's going to happen before it's too late. And soon enough Hiccup feels the drivers side rear of his car drop. Throwing him sideways into the air. By this point Hiccup lets go of the steering wheel giving up. All he can do is sit there out of control. 1 rotation. 2 rotations. 3 rotations is all he can count before he's knocked out cold.
End flashback
...
It took Astrid a minute to get to Hiccup. It felt like hours and when she finally got there the paramedics were pulling up along with the tow truck Already hooking up to the chassis to roll the car back over.
...
When they got the car rolled back over and they were pulling Hiccup's helmet off and handing it to Astrid she couldn't do anything but cry as she saw his bruised face as they pulled him out of the car. Unconscious. The paramedics carefully put Hiccup on the gurney rushing him to the ambulance with Astrid on they're tail as they got to the ambulance the paramedic looked at Astrid and asked "Are you family?"
"Well no"
"No one but family in the ambulance."
"He's..He's my boyfriend."
"I'm sorry ma'am, you'll have to follow us"
"Umm okay." Astrid replied as she turned around quickly running towards the truck.
...
Astrid had loaded the tools and everything into the trailer and backed out ready to pull off when a track official asked where to drop the car off.
"Where is it now?" She asked.
"On a flatbed waiting directions."
"Tell the driver to follow me."
Astrid called Gobber immediately.
"Hey Gobber"
"Aye lassie?"
"Can you meet me at the shop?"
"This late? What in Odin's name for?"
"It's Hiccup. There's no time just meet me there."
...
Astrid pulled up to the school directing the flatbed after she climbed out of the truck as Gobber walked up.
"My gods Astrid"
"I know Gobber. Open the door."
Gobber did so as the flatbed pulled up to it and the driver got out to unstrap the car only to find out that Gobber and Astrid had already done so. Waiting for him to lower the ramp and unwind the winch.
...
Gobber looked at the car slack jawed and looked at Astrid who was tapping her foot waiting on Gobber.
"Are you coming, we need to get to the hospital."
"Aye. Have you called his father?"
"No... Not yet atleast."
"Alright." Gobber said as he dialed Stoicks number.
...
Astrid and Gobber met stoick at the er and ran up to the desk.
"Haddock." Stoick says desperately.
"Room 212. He's in recovery at this moment."
"Can he take visitors." Astrid asked.
"Yes but..." Said the nurse realizing it was pointless to finish as the three ran down the hall.
...
"209...210...211...212." Astrid counted taking a moment to calm down before entering Hiccup's room. Hoping the boy is fine, Astrid opens the door and looks in at Hiccup laying there bruised and cut up. But alive. So thankfully alive. she walks in and sits on the left side taking his hand while Stoick sits on his right.
...
They've been sitting there for hours now. Waiting on Hiccup to hopefully wake up.
...
They have been there for a total of 3 and a half hours when Hiccup finally starts to stir as Astrid, Stoick, and Gobber look at the boy hopefully. He opens his eyes slowly and looks at Astrid then his father and than back to Astrid with his cocky grin.
"How's the car" he asked
"Hiccup the car is totaled."
"I'm afraid it's irrepairable." Gobber adds now.
Stoick sits there on the verge of tears when Hiccup looks at him.
"Dad what's wrong?" Hiccup asked.
"Hiccup, I almost lost you."
"But you didn't." Hiccup replies as the nurse comes in.
Hiccup than looks at her and asks "ma'am, when will I be able to go home?"
"A few days at the most." She replies.
"what's wrong with me?"
"Scrapes, cuts, bruises. Your very lucky with what you went through" she replies.
"I would like to go home now if that's fine with my father."
"I can't release you."
"Than call the doctor. There's nothing horribly wrong, and you can't hold me against my will." Hiccup replies sharply.
"Are you sure you should go home son?"
"Yes dad"
...
After the doctor signed the papers and told Hiccup if there were any other problems to call, they were on their way. Astrid driving the truck with Hiccup in the passenger seat. Also with stoick and Gobber in Stoick's suv
"You know I can drive just fine right."
"I know but your on pain meds."
"Touché" Hiccup replies as his eyes start to droop closed as he falls asleep on the ride home.
...
As they pull up Astrid parks the truck out in front of his house. Stoick and Gobber are getting out of the suv.
"How is he?" Gobber asks.
"Sleeping" Astrid replies opening the passenger door to wake Hiccup.
"Hiccup. Wake up we're at your house."
Hiccup mumbles something along the lines of "leave me be."
Astrids not having it. She unbuckled him and picks him up.
Instantly awake. Hiccup flails in Astrid's arms causing her to almost drop him. She sets him back in the seat as he gives her the death glare after a long moment his gaze softens.
"Will you help me?" He asks softly.
"Gladly" Astrid says with a small smile.
Astrid helped Hiccup up to the house and straight to bed.
...
When Astrid finally got home her father was sitting in the living room waiting.
"What took so long?" He asked patiently.
"Long story short, Hiccup went to the hospital. Racecar is totaled. Hiccup is fine, I'll explain more tomorrow. Goodnight dad.
...
Astrid rushed up the stairs before her father could question her.
...
As she lays in bed freshly showered in her pajamas, she thinks about the things that happened that night...
I said I was his girlfriend? Do I have feelings for him? There's no way he actually likes me. Only time will tell.
