Hiccup P.O.V:
“Hiccup, I… I loved you. I did.” I stared at Jack in confusion, not understanding, or maybe refusing to comprehend what was happening. “I just need some time to think. I don’t want to be with someone who will just grow old and die without me! I need more than that, a love that will last forever.”
He stormed out of the door; slamming it shut, and breaking my heart. I lay down on my bed, sobbing into the covers. Astrid ran in frantically, then seeing me, sat on the corner of my bed stroking my hair softly. I could barely feel her touch through the pain in my heart.
“Hiccup, it had to happen eventually,” she whispered. I turned away from her, shaking with the torturous tears leaking out from behind my closed eyes.
Eventually Astrid gave up and left, leaving me with only my sorrow.  I checked my phone to see if Jack had changed his mind, or if it was all a misunderstanding. There were no new messages.  That was the first night I had ever cried myself to sleep.
I woke up with red, raw eyes. I stumbled downstairs to Astrid, who was sipping a steaming cup of hot coffee, and asked in a shaky, hoarse voice; “Has he called yet?”
She looked at me, pity clear in her eyes. Without another word, I span around and leapt back up to my room, locking the door shut as I did. I could hear her banging on the stiff wooden entrance, calling out my name, but I didn’t answer. Eventually, the noises died down, and I heard her footsteps padding down the hallway.
Pulling myself upright, I reached for Jack's hoodie. It smelt of him, that intoxicating scent of pine needles and peppermint. I wiped my eyes on the intricate snowflake patterns that covered the shoulders. Tears pricked my eyes as I was flooded with flashbacks of his warm laugh, and startlingly clear blue eyes, that sparkled and shone whenever we were together. I heard a crinkling noise, and pulled out a piece of paper. It was the drawing of Jack stood in the snow from when we first met. I didn’t even know that he had kept it. I wondered how much else I didn’t know.
I stood up and walked slowly towards my small bathroom. I found my shaver, resting innocuously on the shelf of the sink. I turned it in the fingers, watching how the light danced off the shiny metal blade. My thoughts turned to death. No-one would miss me. Jack was my entire world for a year, and without him I am… I am a shell of a person. I pulled the blade down my arm, watching thin rivulets of blood trickle slowly onto the carpet.
I dug the blade in deeper and moved to my other arm, slowly drifting away as the bloody streams flowed to the ground.  The world grew darker, and I faded away smiling, knowing that soon all the pain would be over and I could be with Jack in my dreams...

Astrid P.O.V:


I slumped over in my chair, unsure of what I should do. Hiccup was my best friend, and I could how much this was hurting him. However, on the other hand I didn’t want to see his pain in years to come, when he was still aging and growing, and Jack was forever stuck in his teenage state. It was surely much better that they stopped now, even if it wounded both of them. Yes, I could see the love and tears that had filled Jack’s eyes when he left.  At least this way, Hiccup would be able to move on, and carry on with his life as he did before he met the winter spirit.
Suddenly, I heard a small thumping noise from elsewhere in the house. “Hiccup?” I called out questioningly. I ran up to his room, banging on the door heavily. There was no answer. I pounded louder. Hiccup was the most sensitive person I knew, and I feared the worst. After still no response, I pulled out my phone, and dialled North, one of Jack’s guardian friends. He was the only person possibly big enough to break down the door.
“North!” I cried down the receiver.
“Astrid!” Came the dulcet tones on the other end of the line. “How are you?”
“Please! You need to help me! Hiccup’s locked his room, and he’s not answering! I can’t get to him!” I could feel the hysteria bubbling up inside.
“Don’t worry! I come immediately!” he boomed. I saw a bright light appearing on the other side of the door, and then the entrance broke down abruptly before me. I jumped backwards to avoid the splinters heading towards my face.
“Quick! He doesn’t have long!” North bellowed. “I will fetch Sandy, you sit tight!” He disappeared into a snow globe.
I stared at the floor in horror. Hiccup’s tiny frail body was curled up in a tight ball. Even from here, I could see the blood pooled around him. I dropped to my knees, and placed his head in my lap, avoiding his arms, off which skin hung like ribbons. He didn’t make a single noise of protest. His complexion, which was usually quite pale anyway, was deathly white and his breath was hitching in his throat. I brushed my hair out of my eyes and looked down at the frame of the tiny boy who I had known since I first moved to Berk.  Hiccup was like a little brother to me. I couldn’t just sit here and watch him die. The same blinding light filled the air, and I felt Hiccup being lifted out of my arms. I grabbed for his hand, but it was slick with blood and fell from my grasp. North jumped back into the globe, and I was left on the blood-stained floor of hiccups bedroom, crying over the future he might never have.
