Hospital memories

Chapter 1

Hi everybody, well like always I don't own nothing and that things... (enjoy, if you want) see you at the end of this chapter :D

---------

I'm Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, great name I know. I was born in the small city of Berk. Is a beautiful city lost between some mountains located in the middle of the United States, don't waste time searching it on a map or on goolge, you won't find it.

When I was just a scrawny talking fishbone of sixteen years I used to spent all my free time (wich was a lot) on the hospital. Not because I had an illness or another kind of problem, I used to go there to visit the people that was stuck there. I used to talk with them and write their stories, mostly the older people ones because they had more things to tell.

Since I was a little child and I had to go frequently to the hospital because my mother was there, she had cancer, I always thought how sad was that place, everybody was alone and hurt. The families of the patients visited them less and less. Watching all those little childs and old people, alone, just with the company of the machines that kept some of the alive was... the worst feeling that I had ever experienced. I knew that I had to do something for them, even the slightest detail would made a big difference for them, for ones I was the last person they talked to, the only one that was there when their machines stopped to work. For the luckiest ones, I was just that boy that kept them entertained during their days at the hospital. So for that reason I started spending there my free time and writing the memories and adventures of all the people I met. This is how everything began, how my story, adventure or however you want to call it began.

I woke up as usual, at seven o'clock in the morning ate breakfast and left my house. I walked to school as usual, I didn't like to take the bus, it was too crowded and noisy. And anyways the school was just fifteen minutes by foot. I wasn't the sociable type of boy. I prefered the silence and quiet, well... just at the high school. At the hospital I always talked with everyone I could about everthing, but of course I prefered to listen and write.

At school I took my usual classes, listen (as usual) and take notes (as usual). I just told you guys, listen and write was my jam. At lunch time, I sat with some friends... they were not excatly my friends, we never met after classes, so we can say that they were just some boys who I used to ate with and talked about class things.

After class I didn't stopped at home, I directly headed to the hospital. My father already knew that he could only find me at home after 21:00 pm. As I was saying, I headed to the hospital, Berk was small so it only took me ten minutes to arrive there. I entered in the hall, wave at the doctors and nurses that were there and I went to the third floor. In that floor there was a huge restroom for all the patients, normally people couldn't go there, but I was the mayor's son and that gave me some privilegies. My father said that I was doing some kind of 'social services' so I was able to enter.

The floor was divided in a media room, with sofas and a T.V, there were a couple of computers too, in this room the younger people, from 16 to 40 years used past their time. There was a room for the littlest ones, with games and a lot of other things. I used to spend a lot of time there, thet were always happy to see me and they invented short stories for me, I wrote them and later made a little sketch related to the story. There was too a small library with a couple of tables and couches and a lot of books, sometimes I read those books to the older people. I loved that room because it was most of the time empty, I used to study and made my homework there. And last was the older people room. With tables where they played games and a lot of sofas. I knew most of the elders there, all of them had a lot of interesting stories to tell me, about their travels around the world, how was the world when they were young... but their favourite subject was how they meet their first love, when they told me this stories, the laughed and smiled, like if they were young again, the best moment was when their eyes started to light up, like if they were watching their past. Always that I left that room, I felt something strange on my heart, because maybe next day they could have left, forever. It had happens sometimes that I left a story on the middle and I nevet write the end.

I went to that room to say hello to everyone, to my relief that day everybody was there.

"Hey Henry,Thomas,Rose"

"Hi boy"

"Thomas, we had to finish that story today okay?"

"Okay boy but you have to remember were we left it, I already forgot"

"No problem, I'll read it for you again, and Rose, tomorrow is your turn"

"Wasn't my turn on wednesday?"

"No Rose, on Tuesday, well I'm going to do my homework, I'll come in an hour or so"

I left the room and went to the library, I sat on a table and I started doing my homework. I stood up, because I needed a Biology book that I needed to complete an exercise, I searched for it.

"Oh come on where are the Biology books?"

I didn't look forward for an answer, but I got one.

"They're at you left"

It was a sweet and low voice, almost a whisper, it was obvious that it was a girl, I suposed that she was more less my age. I looked at my left and I found the book I was searching for.

"Thanks"

She didn't said anything else, I looked between the selves but I didn't saw the girl, I walked throught the corridors, looking at all the couchs and sofas I was going to give up searching when I saw what looked like a leg behind a couch. I walked in that direction and I found a girl, the prettiest girl that I had never seen. She had an amazing pair of sea blue eyes and a golden hair braided in a single braid at her back. But something was wrong, she was very thin, not scrawny like me, she was even thinniest. And suddenly it srtucked me, she was in a hospital for reason; she was anorexic.

"Uh... H-Hi, just wa-nted to th-ank yo-u in per-son"

She didn't looked at me, she kept reading a book that I hadn't realize she was holding, this time her voice wasn't sweet, it was cold.

"It's nothing"

"I'm Hi-ccup"

"Okay"

"And y-ou a-re?"

"Not your bussiness"

"O-kay, we-ll bye. I'll ju-st le-ft you a-lone"

"That'll be great"

"Bye"

I left her alone and returned to my table. When I finished my homework and I was leaving the library, I looked at the spot the girl was but she wasn't there anymore. And that's how my story began.
