Everytime we Touch

Apart

Soo here's chapter 6. I really really hope you like it. Astrid may be a little ooc in this one but whatever...

Thank you so much for all your reviews! Enjoy!

"You're staring at them again"

Astrid blinked and looked at James. He smiled at her.

"What?"

"You were staring at your friends again" he said.

She placed her chin on her hand "Oh" was all she said.

"Look, baby. I know you don't want to tell me why you and Hiccup fought because it hurts, but whatever was the reason, I'm sure you were right. And he's a jerk if he doesn't talk to you. He doesn't know what he's missing"

She tried to smile but it came out more like a grimace. If he only knew. Hiccup had all the rights to be mad at her.

Four days had passed since the party and she hadn't talked to any member of her group.

She had been pretty much like a ghost, standing there at the table of the football players with James, looking at her friends.

She felt empty.

"James, babe, I'm not feeling well" she finally said standing up "I think I'll go to my room for a while"

He seemed surprised but then he gave her a peck on the lips "Okay, I'll see you later"

When she had closed the door of her room she let herself fall on her bed.

The sight of Hiccup's empty bed was always like a punch in the gut.

She picked up a photo from her bedside table and stared at it.

It showed her and Hiccup at his eighteenth birtday.
They were laughing, their arms around each other. Both their parents stood in the background, smiling at them.

The door creaked open and she shot up, hiding the picture.

Heather and Ruffnut were standing in the doorway.

"What are you doing here?" she asked with an unsteady voice.

Heather raised a brow "Amazing way to greet your best friends" she said.

Ruffnut chuckled closing the door.

Astrid looked down as they sat on her bed "I thought you were mad at me" she muttered.

"We are" Ruffnut said "But we still love you"

Astrid looked up "How is... Hic?"

Heather pursed her lips "Pretty broken"

Her heart sank. She had seen his circled eyes and messy hair. As if he was completely neglecting his own conditions.

"I..." she started to sob "He'll never forgive me"

The two girls didn't say anything. They surely knew she was right.

She felt arms around her and she realised she was being wrapped in her friends' arms.

"We're here to listen to your side of the story" Heather said in a soothing tone.

"We won't judge you" Ruffnut said placing a kiss in her hair.

Astrid nodded and took a deep breath "First of all, you need to know I've always had a crush on him..."

"Hiccup"

Hiccup turned around at the sound of his name.

James was standing by his table with a stern look.
