Chapter 12: Partner
Hiccup Pov:
Today we're back at school. I was walking in the hall and suddenly i felt someone slapped my back i turned around to find out it's Fishlegs
"Oh hey Fishlegs what's up?" I asked
"Nothing really but i'm more concerned about you, u look lost in thoughts man is there any problem?"
I can't answer his question honestly i can't bring Astrid in the picture no matter what
"Ugh it just something small nothing really fishlegs i can take care of it my self i only need to think of the best approach, but thank you anyway for your concern" i lied of course if he only know how big the issue is.
"Well no prob Hiccup if u need any help you know where to find me and dude seriously when are you gonna ditch this stupid disguise ?"
"I'm waiting for the right moment to wow everybody" i said jokingly
While i was talking to Fishlegs i bumped into someone and that someone is Astrid
Before i could say anything she reach for my ear and said loud enough only for me to hear
"After school to the abandoned factory behind the school i'll be waiting for you there we need to talk" then she run to the class
"What was that all about?" Asked Fishlegs
"Uh ha ha ha nothing really" i said nervously
"C'mon Hiccup that doesn't sound like nothing i mean she's Astrid for crying out loud the most popular beautiful, and all the other good adjective you can think about in the school and she just told you something in your ear no one could hear so i'm pretty sure there's something going on oh are you two-"
"No we're not" i cut him off
"Then is she threatening you ?, Like she said i will kill you after school or something"
well your not to far Fishlegs her tune really sounded like she's going to murder me later but why?...
"No she didn't threaten me"
"Then tell me what she told you" and Fishlegs became annoying now
"I'm sorry i can't and i don't want to tell it's non of your or anyone business at this point i'm sorry" the i start walking leaving Fishlegs shocked at me well i know i went i little bit to harsh on him and overdid it but that's the only way to stop the curiosity of Fishlegs i will apologize to him later but right now i need to keep concentrated at the mess that i'm facing now Astrid what the hell is going on ? I said to my self as i entered the class
Time skip to after school:
I entered the abandoned factory only to find Astrid waiting there
"Turn off your phone!" She ordered me
"What?" Why she says such a thing
"I said turn off your phone completely are you def or something!" Okey now i know in fact that Astrid is in really bad mood and ready to kill anyone who annoy her so i did what she sais and turned off my phone
"Okey it's off now tell me what's the problem and why u started acting like that all of a sudden ?"
"You'll be the one answering that mr.Big Shot ! Now start talking"
Okey now it's starting to get intense and i'm not sure what this girl really want
"Talk about what ? Can you explain you texted me saying there's guys are watching us and we need to keep low for the time being and now you're acting all weird if u just explain to me the situation maybe i'll be able to help you"
"YOU MY HELP ME ? HUH ? THIS MESS I ALL YOUR FAULT ! LISTEN I DON'T CARE WHO YOU REALLY ARE OR WHAT THIS PEOPLE WANT FROM YOU BUT YOU BETTER KEEP MY MOTHER OUT OF THE PICTURE OR I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF BEFORE THEM" what the heck ? Why she start screaming all of sudden is this the Astrid i know ? I asked my self
"What the hell is wrong with you girl you're not yourself and you're not helping at this point" i said but before i could add anything i hear her took a deep breath then start talking calmly again "listen Hiccup i'm sorry okay ? I didn't mean too but thinking about my mother being in danger is driving me nuts i will explain everything to you but in return i want you to be honest with me so can you promise?"
Well i don't like where this is going but i have no choice from the look of it Astrid really look stressed and could break down at any moment now
"Okey fine i swear to god i will be honest to you and tell only the truth and i promise you with my and my father's life" when i said that maybe it wasn't clear but i swear i saw Astrid relaxed a little bit then she start talking
"Back there, in the restaurant when you went to the bathroom i got a call from an unknown number they told me i need to trick you somehow and deliver you to them if i don't they will kill me or my mom they even now everything about me where i live, where i work, and everything about my mama too so i was really lost but i couldn't betray you too and sell you out" *hearing that really sent warmth sensation in my heart* "so i kept thinking about what should i do until i remember that number that you text me in with and speaking of that number i really want to kill you now" she looked at me with dead i eyes i gulped but she kept talkin anyway "nevermind that will discuss it another time so anyway i texted you from there and you know the rest so Hiccup i want you to answer me honestly and please don't lie to me. Who are these guys? And what they want from you? And who you really are ?" When she asked the last question i really felt a bit of hurt in her eyes
I took a deep breath
"Okey Astrid listen to me carefully, before you confessed to me about your life i think now it's only fair if i do the same thing but please can you promise me you won't tell anyone ?"
Astrid Pov:
"Can you promise me you won't tell anyone?" Hiccup looked really serious now but i really want to trust this guy i mean he kept all my secrets safe this guy could've ended my school life easily after what i've done to him in the past yet he respected my privacy and not only that he forgave me and even stood up for me so the least i can do now is doing the same for him
"I promise you this the least i can do for you Hiccup" i sincerely said
"Astrid i'm not your normal highschool guy if i go public with the stuff i do i'll be the berk's most wanted criminal in other world i'm a hacker Astrid and i hacked all the ctOS data and servers so everyone and everything in this city is controlled by me you can say in term of data and blackmailing i'm the most dangerous guy out there no one have reached the level of me and now i think you understand what those guys want from me but i swear i don't know them and i'm so stupid to let you and your mom get cought in this mess"
I was shocked i didn't find any word to say now everything make sense how Hiccup knew my home address without me telling him my phone number and even the smallest details i really didn't know how to respond but i won't deny that i felt hurt and sad knowing that someone is capable of going into my privacy and violated it whatever and whenever he want
"Listen Astrid i know how you feel and i'm really sorry for dragging you into these mess maybe the best thing to do is to never talk to each other again the bad guys won't annoy you if you tell them we're not friends anymore or something abd i probably have to face the consequences alone-" Hiccup was cut off by a slap from me and tears start rolling down my eyes
"You dumb piece of shit, is that how you resolve your problem huh ? After what you told me and what we've been thro you expect me to standby and watch you from far going through this mess all alone listen here you little fuck now we both know about each other secrets even tho my secrets won't even compare by the level of how fucked if you got busted to your secrets but i won't take no for answer i'll be helping you i want to stick with you until the end i don't care what you think but i want to be your partner in crime!"
Hiccup POV:
Now it's my turn to be shocked her this girl really is something else i'm pretty sure if it was another girl i'll be either in jail or at those creepy guys hideout but Astrid really is a strong woman and priorities her family and friends over her but i don't like to see her suffer for a mistake she didn't make
"Astrid this is gonna be very dangerous you don't have to"
"I said i won't take a no for an answer and i think i was loud and clear" she persisted what i'm gonna do with her
"Fine but don't blame me if things go south and i'm pretty sure they will regarding our shitty situation now"
"No problem if we gonna do it we gonna do it as a team and if we go down we go down together as long as my mom safe i'm good with it" she said and i swear i can see her eyes lite up excitingly
"Okey as a start the better thing to do is to act normally like we used to do so we won't rise any suspicious and if we want to discuss something we use that untraceable number it's safe and they won't break through it no matter what and let's keep low for the time being until i came up with something okey?" I asked
"Fine by me and i keep you up with every update i got from those guys" she said
"Great now what do you want to do ?"
"I'm hungry i want you to treat me some food now!" She demanded in cute way i start laughing
"Hey hey fine c'mon let's go hhhh" then we left the old factory and start walking to the nearest fastfood restaurants
I hope everything go as safely as possible for Astrid and her mom if something happen to them i don't know what will i do to myself but i promise and i swear to god i will protect her and her beautiful smile no matter what even if it's the last thing i do in my life.
