Chereads / Our fall / Chapter 3 - Three

Chapter 3 - Three

Hiccup's POV 
Jack and I are all dressed. Dad is throwing a party for me. I've come home after years also the Hoffersons, the Frosts, and the Arandelles are coming over. Yes, the Frosts are also coming. They are coming in their private jet. Jack got it all done in a week as It appears he didn't need another week. To be honest, we both are waiting for Astrid and Elsa. Yes, we are happy that our families will be together, but all we have on our minds are the girls. Why aren't they here?! Are they ok? What if they got into an accident? Are they dead? I was thinking out loud again.
Jack slaps the back of my head. "Are you for real? What the fuck, man? Do you hate them or what? No, they aren't dying. Why is it all about negatives to you?! Ugh, but yeah, you are right; where are they! I mean, I know girls take time to get ready. Elsa and Astrid aren't late, but they also aren't early. The party starts in 10 minutes!"
We are at the door now welcoming everyone. Everyone's here but Astrid and Elsa. I was about to call them when a car flashed in. They are in the parking lot and fucking over-speeding! The car took two parking slots. Half was on one slot and the other half on the other. Are they high? Who is this driver! I'm going to give them a piece of my mind.
Before we could storm up to them! Two girls stepped out. We can't see them correctly. It's dark out here. Then they start talking... Astrid and Elsa? Omg, they are here!! Jack and I look at each other and then back at the girls. We stand at the door, ready to welcome them.
"Did you see that? Now that is what I call driving. That was cool! Let's do it again, but this time I'm driving!" Astrid says
Elsa facepalms, "Are you kidding me, Astrid. We are already late. By the way, thanks. I know my driving is awesome. Yeah yeah, sure, next time you drive."
They walk towards us. When they come in, and the lights hit them. Our jaws dropped. Our mouths are dry now, and before we can even tell them how beautiful they look. We...we pass out

Elsa's POV
Astrid and I walk towards uncle Stoick's mansion. All the cars are here, which means we are the last ones. Shoot late again!
We both are at the door, and Omg, Jack looks so hot. Finally, Jack isn't wearing his signature blue hoodie. I mean, he looks cute in anything but right now, he looks hot. Astrid and I look at each other. She's as stunned as I am. She is staring at hiccup like I'm at Jack.
We get a hold of ourselves. Before we can even say hi.
THUMP
They passed out? What the hell? Do we look bad? Our insecurities kick in. And we see uncle Stoick running towards us.
He asks, "Girls, what happened? Astrid, did ya knock them out?"
Astrid starts panicking. "No, sir, I didn't. We just showed up at the door, and they...passed out" I nodded at what Astrid said.
He sighs. "It's uncle Stoick, kids. Sir is only at university. Are ya guys wearing any strong perfume? I am confused! How did they pass out?!" Before we can even reply to this ridiculous question. All our parents rush here.
Aunt Valka starts panicking and looks at us. "What happened?"
Uncle Stoick replies, "They are wearing some strong perfume. Stay away from them, Val, you'll pass out too" Astrid and I stand here shocked. Aunt Valka rolls her eyes at her husband and looks at us. More like glares at us. Now all of our parents are.
She comes forward and asks, "What happened? Ignore Stoick. Now explain from the start!" Astrid and I start sweating.
I tell her, "Aunt Valka, all we did was parked our car and then when we walked up to the entrance door. Jack and Hiccup were standing here waiting for us...probably. As soon as they saw us, their jaws dropped, and they passed out. That's all we know, and we promise Astrid did not knock them out, and we are not wearing any strong perfume."
Astrid nods and points at me. "What she said" I roll my eyes. Wow, Astrid. Great help!
Everyone tries to process this information and look at us up and down. Then our faces. Ok, I'm shaking now! Do we look bad?! Suddenly they burst out laughing.
I look at Astrid and give her the look, "Are they ok? First, they were glaring at us, and now they are laughing!"
She shrugs and gives me the look, "I know, right!"
Uncle Stoick quickly picks both of them up and throws them on the couch. Like literally throws them! We follow him in while all of our parents are still laughing. Ok, seriously, what is going on now!? Before I can ask them, Astrid does.

Astrid's POV
"Ok, everyone, what is going on? First, you looked mad at us, and now you are laughing. Are we missing anything?" I am fuming now
Uncle Finn, who is still laughing, yells, "Oh nothing, kiddo let them wake up first!"
Anna and Emma ran to Elsa and me. They freaking give us a bone-crushing hug. Thankfully they let go, and poor us can breathe.
They both squeal and explain at the same time, "It's called love," and make a cute puppy face. We both blush at that. Oh, so that's what this was about. Oh my Thor, how can we ignore that! Of course, it was! Their jaws dropped. That's the giant sign! Our parents burst out laughing once again. Ok, this makes sense now.
"Ughaww" Jack and hiccup cry in pain at the same time. Why wouldn't they? They freakin passed out and fell like a stick. Also, uncle Stoick throwing them didn't help. We all look at them, and they act like they are drugged, like literally making weird faces at us and walking like a drunk zombie. A zombie already acts drunk but imagine a drunken zombie. How drunk would that person act?! They walk towards us; ok, I'm fuckin scared now. Elsa and I back up a little. Our parents are still laughing.
I yell at Uncle North and uncle Stoick "A little help, please?! Grab your sons, please. Right now!" They ignore me and keep watching.
"Astrid, you look hot! I hope our kids have your beauty! I wuv you. When we. When we. When we. We met when we were young. You were so cute. I knew we were soul mates. I wuv you. You look hot. Hot! Hot! Hot!"
I am as red as anyone can be now. I hear Elsa chuckle. Hiccup grabs my waist and pulls me closer. I try to push him off, but his hold is firm. I could knock him out right now because this is embarrassing as fuck. Before I can decide if I should push him or knock him out. Uncle Finn ran towards me, picked him up and threw him on the ground. Just not hard enough to kill him.
He puts a hand on my shoulder and kisses my hair in an overprotective fatherly way, and yells, "Kid, I gave you my blessing to date my niece but not embarrass her. Also, if you as much as touch her in front of me...Do that to her again, and I'll cut your limb. Get it?!" I laugh at this and kiss uncle Finn's cheek and mouth a "Thanks," he kisses my hair again and sits on the sofa. Where everyone is right now enjoying this entertainment, we are giving them.

Elsa's POV
Even I'm laughing now. I've never seen Astrid more embarrassed. I keep laughing, and she glares at me. Suddenly I gulp and shut up. She'll kill me later! I stand closer to her now. Not that I wasn't before. She sees behind me and smirks. Ok, what is going on? Is everyone on their period? Even the men! Our parents are having mood swings and now Astrid. One minute she wants to kill me, and now she's smirking. I raise my eyebrows at her, and then...
Oh boy...
Someone grabs me from behind and turns me around. What the fuck! Jack? I squeal when Jack pulls me in a hug. His chin is resting on my shoulder. Ok, I've never been this close to any guy... other than my family, which includes all my uncles, of course. I see Astrid on my left, and she's jumping up and down like a child. Well, her "dream" of "Jelsa" is coming true!! I am so embarrassed right now. Ugh, I'm in the same situation as Astrid. Well, hers was more embarrassing. Thank god! Jack releases me from the hug and looks at me. I am about to thank god but...he opens his big mouth!
Jack holds my hands and looks me in the eye. "Elsa, I know I'm an annoying piece of shit."
Everyone cuts him off, saying, "LANGUAGE!" But he's acting like a drunk right now that he doesn't even pay attention.
He continues, "Elsa when we met. We were very young. I didn't even know the meaning of love, but there was something that clicked between us. All that time in Fahio. Every girl wanted me. I mean not to brag, but I'm pretty hot. I couldn't love anyone as I did to you. I never dated anyone. Never let a girl touch me other than my mom and sister, of course. I always looked you up on google and saw how you looked every day. I also used to ask my dad," now I'm blushing very hard. Everyone's awwing at this moment.
He continues, "That blue hoodie you have. There are only two of those in the world. It's because I designed them. You see, yours has snowflakes, and mine has frost because that's what we named each other. When we played years ago, I asked all these senior citizens for their blessing to date you before you came here, and they said yes. I mean, after threatening me...I love you, Elsa. So please, your majesty, will you go on a date with me?"
Astrid and I are laughing at the senior citizens' part. Hiccup is playing with his toes. Everyone else just groans, looking at him. I am almost in tears now because that was beautiful. I've never heard those words from anyone before. I look at Astrid, and she's nodding at me. Signalling to say yes. Before I could even talk, he passed out again
Astrid yells, this time fuming with anger, "Did we look that hot! That first, they passed out! Then acted drunk and walked like a zombie, which by the way, doesn't make sense because that's the same thing, and now they passed out again! Are you kidding me?!" Everyone burst out laughing again!
Uncle Stoick comes to help us, but we tell him, "We got this" everyone leaves the room, and they head into another one to talk about "Grown-up stuff."
Astrid and I look at each other. We groan and kick the air trying to get our anger out. We look at hiccup and Jack on the ground. Astrid holds hiccup's arms while I hold hiccup's legs; we walk towards the sofa and drop him. We do the same for Jack, but this time I have his arms.
Astrid and I high-five and leave the room. Emma and Anna are upstairs playing hide and seek. Our parents are in the other room. I see Bunny and Sandy wrestling, but they split when they see us.
We talk about school, crushes, and movies. So from what we got - Bunny is dating Tooth, and Sandy is dating Rocky. After 40 minutes or so, we left and went to the room our parents were in. Again they talked about business and us taking it over! Astrid and I just held each other hands. It was getting boring for us.
Thankfully we were saved by none other than the idiots.
Hiccup and Jack
Everyone stopped whatever they were doing, and now there was plain silence. Hiccup and Jack ran into the room, looking like ordinary people. Glad they are back! Searching for us...Who were literally on their left but didn't see us. WOW...!
"I need to talk to Astrid!"
"I need to talk to Elsa!"
Our parents look at Jack and hiccup and point towards us. They both slowly turned their heads and looked at us, and before we could even speak, we were pulled out of the room and were getting dragged god knows where. They stop, and it's hiccups room. Astrid and I stand there with our heads spinning. When everything goes back to regular, Astrid and I are standing side by side, and in front of us, Jack and hiccup are standing side by side.
Jack and hiccup share a glance, and hiccup nods at Jack and says, "you go first."
Jack sighs and looks at me. "Listen, Elsa; I'm very sorry for what I did out there. When hiccup and I saw you...You were looking so gorgeous. That dress and your face, oh your beauty. Even more beautiful than ever. I didn't know what happened after that. I guess you are just too glamorous for the world. What happened after that, I thought, was a dream until Anna and Emma came. They started saying something about true love" I can't help but look at Jack and loved the way he talked about me. I blush at that. The word "love" brings out the hidden butterflies in my stomach I never knew I had until now. Does that mean he didn't mean anything he said? The part where "he loved me"?
I cut him off and asked, "So all you said out there weren't you? When you said you loved me?" I whisper the loved part.
He shakes his head violently. "No, of course not! I love you, Elsa! I have for years! Everything I said was true! I see you every day, asking dad about you all the time, that blue hoodie for you. Everything Elsa. Everything. I know you have never been in a relationship, so haven't I. I want to do this with you, Elsa. I want you to be my first everything. I can't imagine a world without you in it! You are so beautiful inside out. You are considerate, stunning, adorable, admiring and loving. I see how much you love your sister and Astrid. You get that smile when you look at them, but you don't get that with me. I'm sorry that you had to get embarrassed by me. I want to give us a try. I have been waiting for this moment my whole life. So Elsa Arendelle...will you go out with me, your majesty?" By now, I'm in tears. I've never heard those words from anyone in my entire life.
I brush my tears away and cup his face in my hands. "I never knew someone could love me. Astrid always used to tell me I will, but I never believed her and heard that you have been in love with me for years. I don't know what to say, Jack. I am so happy to have a guy like you in my life. You are so pure, handsome, warm, foolish, annoying, crazy" I laugh a little and continue, "and that is what I love about you. You are unique. Yes, I was embarrassed a bit, but it was cute. I want to give us a try too, but only on one condition" I look at him, still holding his face.
He blinks rapidly and replies, "Anything for you."
I smile at him and say, "If you call me Snowflake."
He nods at that and laughs, "I love you, snowflake," and with that, I bring his face near mine and kiss him. We both part with our foreheads touching and were lost in each other's eyes.
A whistle...which was, of course, from Astrid. We looked at her, and then I realized my hands were cupping Jack's face. I let go within a blink. Now Jack and I are blushing, and my heart is beating so fast that it hurts my chest; after this, Astrid hugs me.
She kissed my cheek and said, "See, I told you you'd find the one. I am happy for you, and I love you soo much!"
Jack looks at hiccup and says, "Now you go, hiccup" hiccup nods at that.

Astrid's POV
What Jack said out there was cute but what hiccup said was embarrassing. I am furious when suddenly Elsa takes my hand in hers, and I feel relaxed now.
Hiccup looks at me and confesses, "Milady, when you walked towards the house and was standing in front of me. I couldn't help but fall in love with you all over again. You looked so elegant, cute and attractive. Your backless dress, your golden hair bun, your cute button nose, your pearl ocean eyes. What I'm trying to say is...That I don't know what a beautiful girl like you is doing with a scrawny guy like me. What I did to deserve you, I'm still searching for the answer because I don't have it. I passed out, but it just means that I couldn't take your beauty all at once. About the stuff I said when I woke up, believe me, I have no idea what came over me. That was not me, I've no excuse for my behaviour, and I am sorry for mistreating you. That's not how a gentleman behaves, and I've failed you" he takes a deep breath, looks at me and continues while crying, "If...if...if you break...if you break up with me right now. I und..." I punch his shoulder so hard that he stumbles back a little.
"That is for thinking I will break up with you over your stupid shit" I then grab his collar, pull him towards me, and kiss him with all I've got. "And that is for being the scrawny guy I love with all my heart."
After breaking the kiss, I look at them and say, "Ok guys let's leave now. Everyone's probably wondering where we are. Let's go."
Elsa's POV
Jack, Astrid, Hiccup, and I wander around the mansion a bit. Jack left a few minutes ago, and he left his phone in hiccup's room. I unexpectedly get this feeling that I'm missing something. I didn't know jack would have this effect on me so soon. I feel I'm not complete. It's just been a few hours, but it feels like years. How can you fall for someone so early? I mean, I know these things happen, but I never expected...that I would get this feeling.
Astrid and Hiccup walk ahead of me, holding hands. I look down at my hand and feel empty and alone. Why am I feeling this? Where is Jack? He went for a few minutes, but it felt like hours. I want to be near him. I didn't realize how much I needed him in my life until this moment.
What is happening to me?! Just a few hours! He probably found me annoying and left me! of course, that's what occurred. Remember what happened...What did Hans say? I am a cold-hearted bitch! I feel the urge to shout now. Why am I so insecure! I need to talk to Astrid. Within seconds Astrid is by my side. She holds my hand, and we walk in silence. That's all I needed.
She puts a hand around my shoulder and says, "Remember what I said...you're a gorgeous person inside out. I love you, Elsa!" What did I do to deserve her? She is wonderful. Mom was right; my best friend is special. I look at her and put my head on her shoulder while we walk.
A minute goes by, and suddenly she mumbles, "Oh, Hiccup's calling me" What the heck he didn't even call her! She winks at me and leaves; wait, why did she...I felt someone grab me by my waist, and we stop in the middle of the hallway.
I didn't even look around. I knew it was jack. The feeling of his hand and his very unique scent! Oh my god, what is happening to me? We wait for Hiccup and Astrid to go way ahead of us. After they do, he twirls me around and kisses me. So that's why Astrid left! I nudged that thought out of my head and kissed Jack back. Feeling that he pulls me in closer.
After a few seconds, he lets go and says, "I missed you, snowflake. So what's the update? I can get Hiccup to add a room for you and Astrid because I know you guys will be coming here very often now. I mean, lovers can't say separated" I blush at that and shake my head. I was about to kiss his cheek, but he pulled me in for another kiss. After that, he just keeps telling me how beautiful I am and with some 'love you, Snowflake.'
I look at him and get lost in his beautiful eyes. "You know I love it when you call me snowflake."
He blushes and smirks. "Well, get used to it, snowflake, because I will call you that for the rest of our life" I smiled so hard that I thought my lips would crack. He used "our life" instead of "our lives" I looked at him and was going to say, "I love you," but I just...couldn't. I'll have to talk to Astrid to help me with the insecurities!
Jack and I walk hand in hand. We catch up with Astrid and Hiccup. She looks and smiles at me, and I smile back. I never thought someone would love me this much! And Jack? The guy everyone wishes to be with. Guys and girls both. To be honest, he did make it to the vogue's 'hottest guys of 2022' with, of course, hiccup in it, and I'm sure it will again appear in 2023 too. I see him glancing at me every second, staring like I'm his world. I have never felt so special. I couldn't help but feel the blush on my face, and I didn't even realize that I was smiling like a maniac now.
All four of us are strolling, holding hands and enjoying every second of it. We stand outside of the room our parents are in. Too afraid to go in after the embarrassing moments we had. Astrid being Astrid twists the doorknob, and we walk in. They slept and were watching Full house? How long were we gone for? We all check our phones for the time, and it's...11 pm? We were gone for 2 hours. Are you kidding me?
We gaze around. Aunt Kristine and Uncle North are sleeping on the couch peacefully. Sandy and Bunny are sleeping on chairs. Uncle Stoick and Aunt Valka slept on the sofa. Mom and dad slept on the other sofa. Uncle Finn slept, holding Anna and Emma in his lap on the rocking chair. We aww at that.
I wish we all stayed like this always. Nothing would make me happier. Why do our parents have to be soo...frustrating and not understanding. We all want to study acting, not ridiculous business. Why can't our siblings take over?! I wanted to take a picture of this beautiful moment. We all take out our phones and click but what we didn't know was that the ringer was on. Maybe one phone could be ignored, but four together were loud as hell. All our parents grunt and sit up. Luckily Emma and Anna were asleep. We love them, but they can be a pain in the butt!
Uncle Stoick yells, "Well, we're waiting for ya guys, but ya didn't come. We all haven't eaten dinner, kids! Let's go. I'm starving!!" Aunt Valka wakes up and kisses Uncle Stoick. From the corner of my eye, I see Hiccup cringing at that moment.
Aunt Valka stands up and looks at everyone. "I'll tell Minda to set up the dinner." She calls her into the room and tells her to set up the table.
While we wait, Uncle Finn asks, " So guys, y'all got yar stuff figured out? We already gave ya our blessing, but if ya both ever hurt our girls. I will cut yar limbs and feed em to my dogs! These girls mean the world to us! Get it?!" Our parents nod at that and give hiccup and Jack a warning. They both looked like they'd pass out any second and hurried and held their hands, so they didn't pass out. Again! Luckily they didn't.
Soon Minda comes in to tell us the dinners ready. We all get up and head towards the dining room. It was huge! Imagine all of us sitting at one table, and there were still some seats left. After we are done eating, Uncle North brings up the topic of our companies.
He looks at us proudly and says, "You guys are the future! We are so proud of you. Now you will be going to Stoick's University and soon take over the business. On behalf of all of us, I say good luck, kids, and we all love you so much" The four of us nod at them, but we have those regretful and guilty expressions on our faces which thankfully went unnoticed but our parents. Is it selfish of us to think about our future?
On the one hand, we study business - take over the companies - make our parents happy-and live a life we'll hate.
On the other hand, we could study acting - pursue our dreams - be a disappointment to our parents - and live a life we'll love.
I...We...are acting selfishly.

Astrid's POV
After dinner, four of us go to Hiccup's room. We wanted to stay together, and it's funny how close we've gotten in such little time. Elsa and I sit on the bed. Hiccup and Jack play COD on ps5. Yelling insults, swearing, jumping up and down. Thank god this room is at the end of the hallway, or else we would get lectures of manners from our parents. I see Elsa looking at her hands with sadness all over her face. She is fiddling with her fingers.
I grab her hands and ask, "what's wrong" She turns around, still gripping my hands but a bit harder this time.
She looks at me with nothing but sadness. "Are we selfish? Am I selfish to think about my future? It's the talk. When they said, they were proud of us..." I squeeze her hands, letting her know that I am with her no matter what. She continues, "I feel like it's unfair to them. Maybe we should take over the business. I want to tell you something..." We both look at the guys to make sure that they aren't listening...they weren't. They were yelling at this guy named "doombuggy."
We roll our eyes, and Elsa continues, " Yesterday, my parents...remember how I came late when we went to our rooms?" I nod at her, and she resumes, "They apologized. They said how they've realized what they did was wrong, and they hugged me. I felt like I had parents. God Astrid, I felt complete and finally, for once, I did. It wasn't just an ordinary hug; It was unique; it's like the one I always craved, so that's why I feel awful. Everything's turning good now. All of our families are together. We are off to university in a few days. I feel like an awful daughter. Person"
Her head drops, and she looks at her hands again, getting sad. She then stares at the roof, trying not to let her tears fall. Does she think it makes her look weak? I open my arms. She comes closer, drops her head on my shoulder, and wraps her arms around me.
I drop my head over hers and say, "You are not selfish or a terrible person. You are beautiful, polite, crazy, incredible, loving. Like, take a dictionary, and all the good words in there apply to you. It's ok to think about your future. You are going to live your life, and your parents aren't. None of them are going to live our lives. It's us! I am not going to lie, but I've been thinking about it too. That talk made me question my decisions too. I am happy for our families. After so long, I've felt this happy. Our boyfriends are here to support us, and we aren't alone anymore."
I take a deep breath and murmur, "Yesterday, my uncle talked to me. I was going to tell you this but didn't get the time. He came to my room and said he was sorry for his actions that he wasn't there for me when my parents died. Yes, he loves me, but he sucked at showing it! Yesterday when he hugged me after the hiccup thing. I never got that emotion before. I feel like all our parents had a private meeting about this or something" We laugh, and then I pause for a few seconds, lost in my thoughts.
I shake my head and get out of my thoughts. "So yes, I'm happy. Very happy. All of us are, but it doesn't make us selfish. You aren't selfish; please remember that, Elsa. I don't know what to do about this business thing. Also, know that no matter what. You'll forever find me by your side. I love you, dude" She hugs me so tight, and I do the same in return. Elsa and I sit together, cuddling. We need each other right now.
Jack breaks the silence " Elsa, what Astrid said is correct" wait, they heard all that? Elsa and I tensed at that, but luckily they did not hear the person talk.
He continues, "You girls are our future! If thinking about our future makes us selfish. So be it! I don't care anymore. Tomorrow we will sit with our parents and will talk about this. Our suffering we don't care about" he looks at Hiccup and nods at him, signalling him to continue
Hiccup holds my hand and gives Elsa a warming smile. "But yours we can't stand. We are done with this bullshit. Jack and I will talk to all our families and get this figured out. I...We can't see you hurt anymore. We love you, have since the day we met, which was years ago. We didn't even know the meaning of love at that time and waited years for you guys to be with us, and now we aren't leaving you guys. Never!" I kiss Hiccup.
After this, Jack yawns. "Now, let's sleep, guys. We need it. God knows what'll happen tomorrow!" Elsa and I stay in the same position. Cuddling, with her head on my shoulder and my head over hers. Jack and Hiccup put a blanket over us. They sleep on the couch, not wanting to disturb us but also remembering the boundaries.
I dropped my phone, I spun and while I was picking it up Elsa and I see that the guys...and they were like for real! Jack was lying on Hiccup, and the weirdest thing popped up in my mind.
Elsa and I look at each other and mouth, "They could be a couple, I swear!" of course, jokingly...
Hiccup and Jack raise their heads and yell from the corner of the room, "We are not gay! If that's what you're thinking. This is just how we sleep! Also, look at you guys?!"
Jack looks at Hiccup and asks him, "Right, honey bear?" Hiccup groans at that. Then again, best friends are weird.
We all burst out laughing and went to sleep.
~~Next morning~~
Elsa's POV
Jack had an accident. He lost his leg, and a month later, he died.
Why am I sweating? I am crying. My hair is wet.
I woke up...So it was a nightmare. Thank god, I look around and realize I am still cuddling Astrid. I slowly get up, making sure she doesn't wake up. It's dark, so I can't see anything. I check the time on my phone. Well, it's 4 pm. I swipe down and turn on the flashlight. Now that I can see clearly, I walk towards the sofa to make sure Jack is ok.
I mean, I know it was a nightmare, but I am still worried. Finally, I stop and look at jack. He's drooling on hiccup's shirt. I smile and control my laugh at that. I hear him breathing, and it brings a warm feeling inside of me, knowing that he is safe. What have I gotten myself into? Is this what love is?
I walk back to the bed. Slip in, cover me with the blanket, and move closer to Astrid. I can't believe it. I have Astrid, Jack, hiccup, and my family. I have never felt luckier. I wish this could last forever. I don't want this to end...I just don't! Why is life so challenging and outrageous?!
I have everything people wish for! A big house, sports cars, the best friend in this world, a great boyfriend, the most adorable sister. Why can't I have my parents too? I always used to think money and fame are all you need. I can buy anything but...happiness. I could give away everything to get my family's love.
I can't live this life. I just can't. I have to find a way! I have to! Maybe talk to my parents in the most sugar-coated way. A few minutes later, I fall asleep.
~~Morning - 7 AM~~
I open my eyes with the sunlight hitting my face. Ugh, why did I have to choose this side of the bed?! I want to go back to sleep so badly, but the problem is I can't. Once I wake up, it's impossible!
I get up, shake Astrid and mumble in her ear, "Astrid, get up. Wake up"
Astrid murmurs in sleep, "Go away! It's just 10 pm, mom!"
I facepalm, "Girl I am not your mom, and it isn't 10! Get up!" Aha, time for revenge. I go to the washroom and bring a bucket of cold water, then drop it on her face.
She screams and jolts up, "Aaaaaa! Oh my, Thor! Are you kidding me? What was that for!"
I laugh and reply, "Ha! That's what you get! You weren't waking up. Also, remember you did the same a few days ago! Now get up; we have to go down."
She kicks her feet in the air. "Please, just five more minutes. Then I'll get you your favourite chocolate pleaseeee" Before I can even reply, she's asleep and snoring. What. The. Hell. That was like 5seconds. I grab her legs and pull her down.
THUMP!
And...She fell on her face! What a surprise? She slowly rolls now facing me, gets up within a second, and before I know I am on the ground, she's on me and is punching me. I hold my hands in front of my face to save myself from her violence. From the corner of my eye, I see jack and Hiccup running towards us. Hiccup pulls Astrid from on top of me, and Jack comes to check me if I'm ok.
Astrid and I glare at each other and then say "Good Fight" to each other. Our boyfriends were worried sick for us, and now they stand with their jaws dropped.
Jack and Hiccup yell at the same time, "Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me!"
Jack looks at Astrid and me up and down, then says, "Are all girls like this? One minute you're about to kill each other, and the next, you congratulate each other, saying, "Good Fight" I am done with girls. Life would be so simple if girls didn't exist" Astrid and I glare at him, and hiccup is shocked at Jack's words.
I take a step forward and yell in his face, "Well, then go and date someone else! if you think girls are so...psycho!" I take a step back and stand next to Astrid.
She has that proud smile glued on her face. "Wow, Elsa, I'm impressed. That's violent. Where was this, Elsa?" Astrid takes a step forward to Hiccup grabs him by his collar.
That guy was about to die in fear, and she lets out, "If you think the same! We are through!"
Hiccup kicks Jack's shin and yells, "Look what you did, Dude! Milady hates me now. Remember one rule! Never! Ever! Say anything to your girlfriend! Without them, we'll be dead. Girls, we are sorry." Astrid and I kiss Hiccup and Jack and go to the washrooms.
As we enter, I hear Jack yell, "Are you kidding me! I am perplexed! So are we forgiven?"
We yell back, "Maybe."
An hour later, we all are ready and go downstairs where everyone is. Everyone spent the night at The Haddock house. All of our parents took a day off. They want to make up for us. 17 years! But oh well, still early and not that late! Maybe we are off to a good start. We go and see everyone eating breakfast. Wow, they didn't even wait for us? How late were we? We take a seat and eat.
Astrid and I went to the game room where uncle Finn and Uncle Stoick played chess. We tell him what happened at his high school with that asshole Viggo. Uncle Finn stands up and swifts his hand through the chess, looking angry as hell. Uncle Finn pulls Astrid in a protective hug as if he would let her go, and his world would collapse.
He Stares at Stoick and yells, " Stoick ya have ta do something. This is unforgivable. Ya should take some action! Ya know how much this affects ta mental health, and this is my niece we are talking about. So ya should do something, or I will! Because no one yells at my daughter!" I have never heard Uncle Finn call Astrid "daughter" before. Weird.
Uncle Stoick makes it very clear, "Yes, I will! He will pay for this. I'll take action on this the first thing tomorrow" he looks at Astrid and apologizes, "Astrid, I'm very sorry for what happened. I can assure ya this won't happen again, and if it does. Ya have my permission to kick his ass. Alright?!" Astrid and I laugh at that. We thank our uncles for their support and leave the room. So that's done!
Our parents go back to their house and are off to work. They all call us and order that we work with them just to see how it goes at the office and what their responsibilities are. To be honest, it sounds like they order people around. If you are the CEO, what could your job be? tell others what to do and sign papers. That sounds boring as hell! Another reason why I don't want to do this.
Today we all have decided to tell our parents that we can't/don't/would'nt study business. God help us! Ugh, I am not ready for this.
I look at Jack. "You know, maybe we could tell them tomorrow, a week later, or never! Why do we have to be so good!" He holds my hand and kisses me. Within a second, I kiss back! This is so magical. Whenever I kiss him, it feels like I'm in another world and have forgotten all my worries. It's just him and I...alone!
He holds my hand. "As you wish, my snowflake. Whenever you are ready, let me know. We'll go together. Now get ready. We have to go to our offices. Alright, gotta go, snowflake love you!" He kisses me and leaves. I miss his touch.
Now all four of us are ready, separate, and on our way to our parent's offices.
