Chapter 16: Dancing Tragedies


Hey guys!!!! So I know it's been a while since I updated! I had a hard time getting ideas for this chapter!!! I've also been a bit busy with some family stuff going on. 

BUT I'M BACK!!!!! YAY!!! 

So here you go!!!! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Astrid's POV 

Hiccup had laid out a dress on his bed for me. It was red. His favorite color. There was a pair of cute black strapped heels next to it and some gold jewelry. I smiled at it and changed out of my sweats and put it on. I went to the bathroom and put some make-up on. I started a braid at the front of my head and braided it to the back and put it up in a bun. I grabbed my black clutch and headed downstairs. Hiccup was waiting at the door in a pair of black dress pants. He had a red dress shirt on and a black tie and jacket. He had black dress shoes on as well. I smiled at him as I got to the bottom of the stairs. 

"You look so handsome." I told him smiling. 

"and you look beautiful!" He told me kissing my cheek. I felt my cheeks warm up a bit. 

"Thank you." I told him. 

"You ready?" He asked. I nodded. We headed out and he opened the car door for me. I got in and he got in on the other side. 

"Where are we going?" I asked him. 

"It's a surprise." He told me. I sighed and shook my head. 

After about 15 mins we got there. It was an outdoor restaurant and was very nice. Hiccup parked and opened my door giving me his hand to help me out. 

"Thank you." I said stepping out of the car. I looked around and saw how nice it was. "Why do you always take me somewhere expensive?" I asked. 

"Because I like taking you to nice places." He said. We walked hand in hand to a table to seat two. A waitress came and gave us menus. 

Over the night we ate and talked. Our date lasted a couple of hours. Hiccup took me to a beach and I took off my heels and left them in the car. We went for a walk on the beach and after a little while we sat down on the sand. I looked at Hiccup and he smiled at me. He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me closer to him. 

"I love you." He told me. I smiled at him and kissed him. 

"I love you too." I told him. 

After a little bit we headed back at home and it was late. I went and wiped my make-up off and took my hair down and put it in a side braid. I went to Hiccup's room and he had his pajamas on and was drawing in his sketch book. I pulled off my dress and put my pajamas on. I got into bed and snuggled up to him. 

"What are you drawing?" I asked. He closed it before I could look. 

"Nothing important." He said looking at me. He kissed my head and wrapped his arms around me. We soon fell asleep. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, it was Saturday. Hiccup and I slept in. I started to wake up and looked up at Hiccup. 

"Hey sleepy head." He said to me smiling. I smiled at him. 

"Hi." I said. He kissed my forehead. 

We got dressed and went downstairs to have breakfast. Later in the day we were on the couch watching TV. I was laying on the couch with my head on Hiccup's lap. He had one hand on my stomach and I was playing with his hand. His other hand he kept running through my hair. The doorbell rang and Hiccup got up to answer it. He opened the door. 

"Kara?" I heard him say. 

"Hi Hiccup. Is Astrid here?" She asked. 

"No. She's not home right now." Hiccup said. I just laid on the couch listening to the conversation. 

"Figures." She said. 

"What's that suppose to mean." I heard Hiccup say. 

"Well she's a slut. She's had so many boyfriends. She's probably slept with them all too, she's probably out sleeping with some guy right now getting pregnant." Kara said. 

I laid on the couch listening to what she was saying. I felt my eyes water and felt a tear fall and wiped it away. Next thing I heard was Hiccup. 

"Would you stop talking about her like that? What's your problem with her?" He asked. 

"She's a slut. She's been with so many guys. Why are you even dating her?" Kara said. 

"She's not a slut Kara. The only guy she's done anything with was Liam because it was forced on her and you know that. You're the one who told everyone. I'm dating her because I love her. She doesn't go out or sleep around with guys. The one person I know that sleeps around with pretty much every guy is you. You're a slut Kara." He said. 

"Excuse me?" She said. 

"You. Are. A. Slut." Hiccup said again. "You can leave now." He said shutting the door. I heard him walk back to the couch and I sat up and looked at him. I gave him a smirk. He sat down and pulled me to him. 

"I'm sorry. I don't know why she was here." He said. I looked at him and kissed him. 

"I love you too." I told him. 

He smiled and kissed my head. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night we were in bed sleeping. I kept tossing and turning. 

"Hiccup!!" I screamed sitting up. He woke up and looked at me. 

"Astrid. Are you okay." He asked. 

"Yeah. Just a nightmare." I said holding my knees to my chest. 

"Is it your PTSD again?" He asked. I nodded. "Well your next appointment is tomorrow okay?" I nodded again. 

"Are you coming with me?" I asked looking at him. He gave me a smile. 

"If you want me too, yes I'll come." He said. 

"Okay." I said. I laid down and snuggled up to him and he kissed my head. We soon fell asleep. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day at my therapist appointment I didn't say much. She tried to explain how this PTSD works in the brain and why it affects me so much. Hiccup was paying for my appointments. Which I felt bad about. He was sitting next to me and my therapist told me how lucky I was to have him. I smiled. 

"How long do I have to come to these appointments?" I asked. 

"However long you want. But I do think this is good for you. You're talking it out." She said. 

"Can't I just talk to Hiccup about it?" I asked. She smiled. 

"Of course and I'm sure you do. But it's different talking to a professional. Now have you had any flashbacks or nightmares recently." 

"No." I said.

"Yes." Hiccup said. 

Hiccup and I said at the same time. I looked at him and sighed. 

"Yes. Last night. I had a nightmare." I told her. 

"Alright." She said. 

After a while of talking more the appointment was finally over. Hiccup and I left and went back home. 

~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night I was sitting in bed reading a book. Hiccup came in and took his shirt off. I looked up at the action and stared at him shirtless. He noticed my stare. 

"Like what you see?" He smiled smugly and gestured to himself. I chuckled at his cockiness and focused my eyes back on my book. The next thing I know, Hiccup jumps on top of me. He takes the book out of my hands and sets it aside. 

"Hey..." I said reaching for it. He grabbed my hand stopping me and I looked at him. 

He starts kissing my cheek and his lips find mine. He then starts traveling down my jawline and onto my neck. I gasped slightly. He kissed my lips again. I felt his hands wrap around my waist and pulled me against him and we were laying flat on the bed now. Hiccup kept kissing me. He moved to my neck again and put his hand up my shirt. I bit my lip when he bit my neck slightly. Hiccup removed my shirt. 

"You're beautiful." Hiccup whispered in my ear and continued kissing my neck, and my collarbone. He moved to my chest and to my stomach kissing my body. 

There was so many things running through my head. What Liam had done to me. But the more Hiccup kissed me the more it went away. It was like that this time since I wanted it to happen I was letting it. I was pushing the memories behind and letting Hiccup have his way loving me. He's the first guy to ever really love me, and care about me. I realized that I wanted him. Right there. I wanted Hiccup. 

I pinned him down so I could straddle his waist and I kissed him and let's just say the night went a lot further this time. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

We woke up late the next morning. I opened my eyes and sat up holding the blankets to my chest. I looked at the clock. 7:30am. My eyes widened. I looked at Hiccup. I put one of my hands on his chest and moved him a little. 

"Hiccup. Hiccup, wake up." I said. 

"Mmm." Was the response I got. I sighed and kissed his cheek. 

"Wake up sleepy head." I told him. He opened one of his eyes and looked at me and I smiled at him. 

"I don't want to get up." He said holding me to his chest. I sighed. 

"I know. But you need too. We're gonna be late for school. It's already 7:35am." I told him. 

"What?!" He said sitting up. 

We both rushed around getting dressed. I didn't bother with makeup today and just put on a pair of black skinny jeans, a white tank top and a red sweater, and my black boots. Hiccup put on jeans, a green t-shirt, black sweater and some converse. 

"Come on!" I said going downstairs. 

"I'm coming!!!" Hiccup said. 

We grabbed our bags and got in his car by 7:45am. We were on our way to school and I was braiding my hair. When we got there we went to both of our lockers together. They made an announcement over the speakers how the dance was this Friday night. 

"Are we going?" Hiccup asked me while standing beside my locker. I looked at him and smiled. 

"If you want too." I said smiling. I closed my locker and Hiccup took my hand and we were walking to class. 

"Hey look." Said a familiar girl's voice. I sighed and closed my eyes and opened them looking up waiting for her rude comment. "It's the slut." Kara said. 

Hiccup stopped walking and I looked at him. He looked at her. He was mad, I could tell.

"Would you stop calling her that!!" Hiccup said. "She's not a slut! she's the farthest thing from one. You on the other hand..." Hiccup said. 

"Hiccup. Come on. Let's just get to class." I said pulling him away as the bell rang. I glared at Kara. "You'll regret this." I told her and than left. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was Friday night. Dance. I had a dark blue dress on with black heels and had my hair up in a bun with a braid around it. I had a few strands down in the front that I curled. I put make-up on and grabbed my clutch. Hiccup was waiting downstairs for me. He had a dark blue dress shirt on that matched my dress and a black tie and black dress pants and shoes. I saw him look at me and smile. 

"You look amazing." He told me. 

"Thank you." I said smiling. 

"Here." He said handing me a single rose. I smiled at it. I smelled it. 

"Thank you. Why did you give me this?" I asked. 

"Because, I realized I've never given you flowers before. So I thought a rose would be a good start." He said. I smiled and kissed his cheek. "You ready milady?" He asked. I smiled and nodded. 

We got to the school and walked in and I stopped Hiccup at the doors. 

"What's wrong?" He asked. I looked through the window to the gym and looked at Hiccup. 

"Kara's here." I said. He sighed. 

"Astrid. Don't worry about her. It'll be fine." He told me. I smirked and he took my hand and we went inside of the gym. 

Over the night we had fun, danced, talked and just kind of kept to ourselves. It was about 9:00pm and Hiccup and I were sitting at one of the tables. 

Author's POV 

Kara and her friends were standing by the punch table. Kara was looking over at Hiccup and Astrid and whispered something to her friends and they agreed. 

Astrid's POV 

I got up to go get a drink. Hiccup had offered but I told him I would get it. I walked over to one of the punch bowls and got some punch and headed back to my table. 

"Hey Astrid." I heard someone say I turned around before I sat and the girl throw her punch at me. "Oops." She said and walked away. I sighed and sat down and Hiccup handed me some napkins. I sighed and started dabbing at my dress. 

After a little while Hiccup was talking to some of his friends. I told him I'd be right back and kissed his cheek. I started walking back to the table and I was about halfway in an open area when I heard Kara's voice through the microphone. 

"Hey everyone!" She said. "We have a little something....sweet for Astrid." She said. I looked at her. They put a spotlight on me and I looked around and everyone was staring at me. I saw Hiccup and I saw him walking kind of fast towards me. But he stopped walking when I felt a bunch of something sticky and wet get dumped on my head and all down my dress. 

"Oh...." I heard everyone say. 

"Do you like that sweet punch you just got Astrid?" Kara asked. She came down the stairs and I looked at her with a glare and walked up to her. 

"What's your problem with me?" I asked. 

"I don't have one." She said. 

"If you don't have one than why did you do this." I said gesturing to myself. 

"Cause it's fun to embarrass you." She said. 

"Why do you treat me so bad? What did I ever do to you?" I asked her. 

"Nothing. You're just a loser. A pathetic, worthless, slut." she told me. 

I had, had enough of this. I lifted my fist and punched her across the face. I felt a hand grab my wrist. I pulled away and grabbed her. 

"I don't understand why you're so mean to me!" I yelled at her. 

"Because you took Hiccup!!!" She yelled back. 

"What? What does Hiccup have anything to do with this!?" 

Hiccup was only a few feet away and could hear everything. 

"I wanted him. I had an idea to date him, and than you showed up, and for some reason he fell for you. Even knowing how messed up you are."

"It's not my fault if Hiccup never liked you." I told her. 

"Whatever. Just stay out of my face!" She said. 

Next thing I knew a couple girls grabbed me and Kara punch me back. I got out of their grip and Kara and I started fighting. Hiccup pulled me away. I stopped and looked around, and finally just walked out of the gym to the bathroom. I walked in and looked at myself in the mirror. I was soaked in punch from head to toe. I had pieces of fruit in my hair that had been in the punch. My make-up was all smudged. I knew I was strong but I lost it I felt my eyes fill with tears and started to cry. I grabbed paper towels and started cleaning my face. I heard a knock on the door.

"Astrid?" I heard. It was Hiccup. "Astrid, please come out." he said. I went to the door and opened it. I walked out. 

"Can we leave? Please." I said wiping my face. He smirked and put his jacket on me. I smiled at him.

"Here." He said handing me my purse. He wiped my eyes. I gave him a small smile. "Let's go home." He said. 

We got home and I had a shower and cleaned up. I checked my face where Kara punched me, I put some cream on it to help it heal. I put my pajamas on and tied my hair in a bun. I went to the bedroom and laid down in bed. I didn't say anything. I felt Hiccup move close to me and wrap an arm around me. 

"I'm sorry about what happened tonight." He said kissing my head. I turned around and faced him and gave him a small smile. I moved so I was right against him. My nose in the crook of his neck. 

"It's over." I said. "I just want to sleep and forget about it." I told him. Hiccup moved and looked in my eyes. 

"I love you." He said kissing me.

"I love you too." I told him kissing him back. I smiled and put my head against his chest. 

We fell asleep soon after.
