We'll get through it.

Chapter 13- Start Anew

Astrid's POV
It seems to me like, I'm bad luck. I mean, think about it. Mummy parents died. My grandma died. No aunt or uncle wanted to take me in.

RRIIIIIIIIIIINNNG!!!!!!!

I was finally able to back to school. Yay. Hiccup's been hanging out with me a lot, but I still never talked.

I then realized, what if the same thing happened to Hiccup? I mean, I hate to admit it, but I still love him.

I don't wanna be with him because if he does that mistake again, I'll die, and I don't want for him to get hurt in any sort of way.

Trust me....my devil wants me to go right out to him, slap him, and shove him, my angel wants to run over to him, kiss him on the lips while hugging him snd say 'I'm sorry'.

Since I had no family, I had to go to the orphanage. Hiccup always visited me. Sometimes he slept there. And don't take this the wrong way. I liked it. He is such a good boyfri- I mean, good friend.

"Hey Astrid? Astrid. Are you there?" Hiccup snapped his fingers in front of me. I nodded.

The bell rang again so I didn't have time to listen to everything that Hiccup was saying to me.

After school, I was walking home to my house, I could do an orphanage, but I was old enough to take care of myself. Hiccup caught up to me before I reached my house. I stopped walking, turned to look at him and I hugged him putting my face in his chest.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I said between sobs.

"Astrid!" Hiccup sounded surprised when I hugged him. "What are you sorry for? You didn't do anything." He said.

"Like I said before when you came to my house." I whispered and voice was shaking.

"No.No. Astrid, don't blame yourself. It wasn't your fault." He shushed me and carressed my hair and pulled me close towards him while his chin was reasting on top of my head.

We were standing there on my front porch.

I pulled away sniffing and wiping the tears from my eyes. I slightly chuckled. "I've heard that you've wanted to ask me something." I put my hands in my back pocket of my jeans.

"Hmm? How did you know?" He said making his voice sound amazed.

"Ha. Jack told me. He's kinda like a brother to me." I said and smiled.

"Well then." He cleared his voice. "Do you want to go out sometime?" He rubbed the back of his neck, which I alwaus loved, it made me go crazy over it. I was able to contain my craziness though.

"Yes. Hiccup. I would love to. " tears forming in my eyes again and I hugged Hiccup.

He was surprised by the action, and hesitated, but, he squeezed me tight. "I'm sorry Astrid. I'm sorry that I ever hurt you. You know me, and you know me well, I won't do that ever again."

"Ha. You can't make any promises." He let go of me from the hug and held me. he crashed his lips onto mine. Only the first kiss was gentle. After a few seconds, the kiss became more soft and soon, he pulled back. "Thank you."

I didn't ask him why he said that, cuz I already knew.
