XI – Lucky strike

Mean wile in Gothi's clinic

[Jane POV]

My shift was almost over when I heard a knock on the door

- May I?

- Joe?! Come in! – I couldn't help but to smile at his sight

- Hi – he smiled back

- What happened? – He took of his coat and I saw his bloody arm and hand covered with some sloppy bandages

- I got bit at the shelter trying to break up a fight between two of our males, Gothi send me here

- Can I have a look? – I uncovered his hand and lifted up his sleeve – is there any other damage?

- Nop, just that

- You got lucky – I smiled cleaning his wounds – yesterday Steven rip a muscle braking a dog fight

- Yah they're all crazy over a Labrador in the heat – he laughed – are you going to regionals?

- Yes, Gothi recommended me for the paramedics – I smiled bandaging his arm – and besides Harry wouldn't forgive me if I missed it. You? – I looked into his deep blue eyes – all done, keep it clean

- I'm competing in the morning – I cooked up a brow

- Morning? But the races start at 4 right?

- Swimming team remember?

- Ohh right! Yeah at 10 – I hit my own forehead he laughed – shit I forgot

- About? – he seemed amused

- I had to send my CV to your coach

- We have a team meeting later I can get it to her

- Thanks – I smiled lending it to him

- Don't mention, see you later – he got out of the room

- JOE WAIT! – he stopped looking back at me – you forgot your coat

- Oh thanks – he just stood there looking at me

[Alex]

- JOE WAIT! – I stopped looking back at her – you forgot your coat

- Oh thanks – I whispered, somehow I couldn't move. I just stood there loking at those emeralds

- What? – she broke up the spell looking at my coat and pulling some loose hair behind her ear

- You call me Joe – I grabbed my jacket, involving my hand in hers in the process, she pull away

- That's your name right – she smiled, her cheeks as red has her hair – but if you want I can

- No – I cut her off, taking a step in her direction – I like it – we were so close I could see the freckles in her cheeks, she was looking up to me, mouth half opened, eyes as green as the forest

- JANE COME QUICKLY WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!! – Merida the assistant Nurse called

- Umh... COMING – she took a step back – amh.. I have to – she waved to the corridor – nice seeing you – and she ran before I could say or do anything

[Astrid POV]

"Not again! Not again!" but I saw it with my own eyes, and the worst part is... it's all my fault.

It happened so fast... one moment we were standing at the finish line, talking after our little race... and the next, Scott lost control of his bike. Harry pushed me aside and Scott crashed into him... thank god he still had his helmet on or... "I don't even wanna think about it"... He was thrown in the air hitting his head pretty hard. We rushed to Gothi's Clinic.

- Harry? Harry!! – I heard Jane's voice as she run across the hall and the nurses took him in – what happened?

- We were talking by the tracks right after the race, Scot lost control of the bike... It should've been me! He pushed me aside... it should've been – se grabbed my shoulders and looked deep into my eyes

- STOP! It was an accident!

- But I – she hugged me tight and whispered in my ear

- He's going to be alright, he's a tough guy – she smilled

- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – we heard the screams across the hall. Jane cooked an eye brow

- Anyone else hurt? – I couldn't help but to sigh in relief there's no way she would be this calm if that voice was Hiccups

- Just Harry and Scot – she nodded

- JANE!!! GET IN THERE!!! – I think that was the first time in my whole life that I've heard Gothi speak

- Coming! I'll be back with news – and she disappeared

- Astrid? What are you doing here? – I turned around and ran to my brother – waw calm down speedy - he hug me and I just stood there... waiting... praying... Hopping

[Harry POV]

- OUT OF THE WAY! –Scot screamed, I pushed Astrid out of the way.

The crash send me in the air I hit the wall of Gobber's garage and the lights turned off.

Bright light, white walls, annoying beep...

- Where? –I looked around as the memories came back to me – ASTRID! - I felt dizzy as I sat down on the hospital bed. My sister walk right in making me lay back again

- Down little brother. You hit you head pretty hard – she checked all the monitors turning some of them off

- Where's Astrid? Is she ok? – I tried to sat back up again

- If you sit again I'll put you to sleep – she looked straight into my eyes, like only she could. Besides, not even a second latter I was being attacked by a mass off blond hair

- HICCUP!!! Thank god you're ok! – I hugged her back smelling the lavender in her hair

- I'm tougher than I look – I couldn't help but to smirk back at her. For that she punched my shoulder – AU!!

- Don't you dare to scare me like that ever again!

- Is that the way you thank me for possibly saving your... - she kissed me before I could finish my sentence - waw

- That's for saving my life

- I could get used to this
