I remember it like it was yesterday. They day she got into that freak car accident.

"Are you sure you want to go alone?" I Asked. Astrid, my girlfriend was going on a small trip and it would take most of the night to get there.

"Yes, Hiccup it's okay, I'll be okay. You can stop worrying." Said Astrid as she put her stuff in the car. She was always trying to reassuring me with that one line.

"Oh well, you know I'm never going to stop worrying about you." I replied. I saw how a small tint of red splashed on her face. I always had a way of making her blush.

She just giggled as I gave her tender kiss on her lips. At this moment we were just stupid, lovesick 19 year old.

As I pulled back, she gave me a small hug and got in the car. We said our good byes and soon enough she drove off into the night.

Not 2 hours later, I got a call in the middle of the night from the hospital saying Astrid was in the hospital. Before they could even end the call, I was in the car and the way to the hospital.

When I got there, I saw her parent already siting in the lobby waiting for the nurse to call us.

Some time past, but as soon as the nurse said we could see her, we rushed to her room. I remember the color drain from my face as soon as I saw her.

She just laid there. Eyes closed. With cuts and bruises all over her face. And Her arm in a cast. The only thing that could be heard in that moment was the heart monitor, indicating she was alive.

Her parent rushed by the side of her bed to get a better look at her. I just stood there. I felt like I couldn't move, I was paralyzed. I wanted to reach out and grab her hand, but I had no control over my back body.

Soon enough I snapped out of my black out to get near her. She was unconscious and beaten up, but she still looked so beautiful. I could see her parents cry their eyes out. I held mine in. I wanted to be strong and I wanted them to know that.

I stayed there at the hospital the whole night. Her parent left for a moment to get some food and told me to stay. At the moment they left, the tears I felt the tear roll down my face and instantly tightened my grip around her had. Bringing it to my face to kiss it.

How could I have let this happen. I should of gone with her. If she dies I don't know what I would do with myself. It's my fault she's like this. It's all my fault.

My hands dug into my hair. For a moment all was silent, only my sobs could be heard.

I felt something petting my hair and then a warmth travel to my cheek.

"It's not your fault, Hiccup."

I look up to see her. Her beautiful blue eyes open again. I could see her beautiful smile forming on her face. She was away. The love of my life was okay.

"Astrid!!"

I instantly stood up and hugged her. But when I did she let out a small "ow".

I instantly pulled away.

"Sorry, I'm so sorry, I-"

She shut me up by placing a finger on my lips.

"Hey, I'm okay just a bit tender in some spots is all."

The love in her eyes tell me she was okay. I was more gentle with the second hug I gave her, followed by a kiss on her forehead.

As soon as I saw her face again, I started to cry.

"I'm so sorry. This is all my fault, I should have gone with you. I-"

She shut me up again, but this time with a kiss.

"Hiccup, is no your fault. We probably still would of got in the car crash even if you went." I couldn't disagree she did have a point. I could have do to stop it.

"I'm okay"

She invited me to sit on the bed with her. Gladly took the offer, but instead of sitting, I curled up and wrapping my arms around her waist. We just sat there in silence. And I was okay with it.

My valkyrie was going to be ok. Or so that what I thought.
