Levi's POV
I just remained there, shocked by all that's confronted in front of me. Why am I seeing an exact image of that time, of that horrid memory? No. NO!
"_!" I run towards her. It's happening again. I'm going to lose someone important to me again. I don't want to experience that anymore! "_! Wake up please!"I immediately brought her to my embrace; I can't stop my tears from rushing out of my eyes. This is too much to bear. I tried to shake her, hoping that she will wake up but there's no reaction, her eyes are tightly shut. No! Please don't die. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! I hug her tightly. Her head is bleeding non-stop, I don't care if I'm soaked with her blood, she's more important.
"Hey, watch it will you!" The man responsible for this accident came out of his damn car. His face is pissed as he continues his annoying blabbering. His voice sickens me. "Do you know how much this car is!?" He shouted at me.
"I DON'T FUCKING CARE!" I shouted back, my face bears a lot of anger towards him. "DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU DID YOU DAMN BASTARD!?" I stand up and grabbed him on the neck. "YOU HIT HER! AREN'T YOU SEEING THAT POOL OF BLOOD!? I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU!" I squeezed his neck tighter; I can't contain my anger anymore.
"I-I'm sorry...I...am really...sorry..please..don't kill me.." He said; begging for his life. "I DON'T CARE IF YOU DIE!"
"LEVI, STOP IT!" I flinched as I heard my name being called. I let go of the man and he fell down on his knees, coughing and catching his breath. I look for the source and there I saw Hanji running towards our direction followed by Mike who is giving Eren his aid. Their faces are replaced with shock and horror as they saw _ lying on the ground, soaked on her blood.
"OH GOD _!" Hanji immediately run towards her. "WE MUST CALL AN AMBULANCE AND FAST!" She commanded and Mike immediately dialed the number.
"What did you do?" Eren asked; fueled with rage. "WHAT DID YOU DO LEVI!?" He asked again, now it's my turn being grabbed on the neck. "She...She saved...me." I tried to struggle but his grip tightens.
"WILL YOU STOP IT YOU TWO! _'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR SORRY ASSES!" Hanji is now furious. Eren clenched his teeth and releases me. "If _ dies, I'm not going to forgive you." He gave me one last look before he immediately went to _ and Hanji. Suddenly, we heard the continuous sounding of the ambulance horn and made its way to our place. Many people rush-out of the van carrying a gurney. They've put _ and laid her there before putting her inside. Me, Eren and Hanji went inside as well but Mike stayed outside.
"You must go without me. I'll call a police to report this freak." He said making sure that the other guy won't escape. I gave him my thanks and he nodded before we completely closed the door and moved on.
As soon as we arrived, they've immediately send _ inside the emergency room. I want to go inside, to be by her side but one of the nurses stopped me.
"I'm so sorry sir but you are not allowed to go inside. Please stay here and wait patiently." She said. "Please, just please do whatever you can to save her. Don't let her die." I beg; fear is plastered all over my face. "We will." Then she closes the door. Hanji move closer to me and gave me a tap on the shoulder. "Don't worry, she'll be fine. _'s a strong woman." I looked at her and she gave me a weak smile. I look at Eren, he is seated on one of the chairs in the waiting area. His head is down while resting on his intertwined fingers; he seems to be thinking a lot.
"Levi, what exactly happened to the both of you? When we came back, we saw a commotion going on and in the center of it is Eren. He is completely beaten up. Is it your doing Levi?" Hanji snapped me out of my thoughts as she questions me. I looked up to meet her worrying eyes but I immediately looked down. "Yes. I saw _ inside the girl's comfort room with Eren pinning her on the wall molesting her. My immediate reaction was to beat him so he would let go." I said, my voice is low, I can sense that Hanji is now looking at me with shock. She turned her gaze to Eren. "What the heck did you just do!? Levi is _'s boyfriend. It's not good to take her by force!" She starts lecturing Eren but he immediately raised his head and spoke.
"SHE'S MINE TO BEGIN WITH! THAT GUY JUST REPLACED ME!" Hanji was surprised by his sudden outburst. He's angry but with tears flowing out of his eyes. "She and I are together ever since when we were kids but she left me without even telling me that she already did. I've waited for her but she never came back and now when I finally met her again, I was replaced by him. Do you think that never hurt me!?" Hanji was speechless. Eren was right in his part. Now, I can finally see that we were just the same. We were both longing for someone to love as back but the mistake we did is it's from the same person.
"I'm sorry Eren." I don't know why but I suddenly walk towards him and apologized. He immediately averts his gaze away from me and rests his head again on top of his fingers. Silence filled the waiting area, he didn't respond but he soon breaks it, surprising us. "Do you know the real reason why I came to see _?" He said; now looking at me. What could be the reason? Why did he come to see her, to get her from me with such eagerness?
"Why?" I asked; breaking myself from my thoughts. He immediately changed his position and sit up straight; looking at me with so much intense and focus. Hanji is also eager to know; completely focus into whatever he is going to say. Even though I wanted to know as well, something tells me deep inside that I'm not going to like this. This feeling is like opening Pandora's Box, the suspense is killing me.
"The real reason why I came here is because _ is my fiancée. I came to see her to inform her that we're engage and her father wants her to go back home. My father and her father have arranged a partnership between the two companies but in order to do that we must first be married to create a life-long alliance. Her father has given me and her older brother the task to bring her back since I also wanted to see her." I was shock with every detail he said. I can't believe it, even Hanji is speechless. _ is engaged to this man? To Eren?
"May I ask you the reason why _ ran away from home?" Hanji immediately asked. What could have been the reason? "Well, I only heard it from her brother. He said that their father had already engaged her multiple times to numerous different sons of every CEO he had met for the cause of an alliance with another powerful company. _ didn't like it because that only means loving a person she doesn't even love. She got tired of this thus making her ran away from home.
"W-Wait, if you two are childhood friends and her father only focused on befriending wealthy people, that means you are also from a rich family, am I right?" Hanji quickly asked. She's right, why focus on other companies if _ already has a friend who can be a future CEO of an also powerful company. That makes easier for an alliance. Eren shifted his gaze away from us bearing sadness in his face. "It was because the two companies had a feud back then. _ and I didn't know about the quarrel going on between them until one day, she was taken away from me. Her family just told her that they were going on a vacation without telling her the real reason making me unaware that the person I was waiting for will never come back."
"Ehhh, then why are the two of you engaged now?" Hanji continues her questions. "It's because her father was worried that _ will never come back from running away. He thought that she wants me to be her engagement partner instead of the other former candidates thus making her father did the first step of bringing back the friendship between the two families and come to us to apologize. But my father didn't forgive him that easily. He will only forgive him and agree to the alliance if his daughter, mainly _, will marry me. Her father agrees to this sending me here along with her older brother with the task to bring her back.
"Who is her older brother?" Hanji asked one last time. Eren didn't speak instead another voice answers Hanji's question. "That would be me little lady." Our attention was averted into a very tall guy across the hospital hallway. He has a blond hair neatly parted on the left side. He also has thick and bushy brows and sapphire eyes. He walks closer to us and faced Eren. "Thanks for the message Eren, how's my sister?" He said bluntly. When did Eren send a message to him? Maybe while I was busy panicking and talking to the nurse. Her brother seems to be calm though despite the fact that his sister is fighting for her life inside the emergency room.
"She's undergoing operation inside that room. We were ordered to stay here and wait patiently." Eren replied. "I see." He turned his gaze towards us making us flinch with just him looking at us with those serious eyes of his. "So you're Levi. The one Eren was talking about; my sister's boyfriend? You're surprisingly smaller than I expected." He gave out a small chuckle. Is he making fun of my height? Just because he's taller doesn't mean he can make fun of those who are way too smaller than him. I gave him an angry look and he immediately stopped. He cleared his throat and brings back the seriousness in his face as he introduced himself. "I'm Erwin (Last Name), _'s older brother and future CEO of our father's company. I think Eren already told you all about the reason why we're here. _ needs to go back home to marry Eren. We needed to do this in order to help our company and bring back the friendship between the two families. I wish you would understand that being her boyfriend is not a great idea for she is already destined to someone and that is her childhood friend, Eren Jaeger.
"B-But sir, Levi loves your sister very much and _ also loves him the same. Plus, she only considered Eren as a childhood friend. Wouldn't that be against her will?" Hanji said. She's been trying so hard to protect our relationship. "That will still depend." Erwin replied still having a calm composure. I just stood there, looking at them. This is a very shocking revelation. Now I'm even more afraid of losing her completely and it can be a reality sooner or later. I can't bear it; I will never bear it, being alone again in my life. Why now when I finally found the person who can ease the pain of my past, who can take me away from my wretched life; the only person who showed me and gave me the warmth of being loved again. _, I don't want to lose you.
We were interrupted when the door to the emergency room finally opens. "Who among you is a relative of the patient?" The nurse asked waiting for an answer. "I am. I'm her older brother." Erwin partially raised his right hand catching the nurse's attention. "I would like to discuss to you her current condition." She said signalling Erwin to follow her inside the room. She looked back at us and finally gave us the permission to enter as well. We immediately walk into the room, seeing _ peacefully sleeping on the hospital bed. Her head was partially covered around with a bandage covering her earlier injury. Thank goodness, she's safe. A tear slip through my eyes as I walk closer beside her. Thank God she's safe. For the first time in my life, I have thanked God for saving her, my precious _. I held her hand tightly. I don't want to lose her, please don't let me lose her. I saw Hanji cried tears of joy, relieved that _ is safe. Well she has become her female best friend enough for her to worry that much. Eren on the other hand just watched me from behind. I can see that he's not anymore angry at me but I still doubt he's liking what he's seeing right now; me holding _.
"The nurse said that _'s condition is fine. Her life is not in danger but she needed to rest for a few days in order to bring her strength back. You don't need to worry anymore. We were lucky it isn't fatal or we will deal with a rather huge problem here. If my father knew that _ is not far from meeting death, he might order to annihilate you Levi. _ is my father's favourite daughter. He will not hesitate to do that." Erwin said, interrupting us. I gulped. I can be annihilated just like that? "Well, we just has to wait for her to open her eyes." And as if _ has heard her brother, her fingers twitch and slowly her eyes open. She first scans her surroundings. "W-Where am I?" She asked; her body is still weak. "You are confined in a hospital _." Erwin said brushing his fingers through _'s (h/c) locks. "Erwin-oniisama? Is that you?" She looked at him, making sure she's seeing the actual person. "Yes, I'm here my little sister. I'm going to take good care of you." She gave him a weak smile then look around again. "That's Eren and Hanji-san." Thank goodness, she still remembers all of us or maybe not; when it's finally my turn, her face change into a look of confusion. She tilted her head as she thoroughly scanned my face. I felt something weird inside me; something that I'm afraid to think or assume but it can be close enough from what will really happen. I began to sweat bullets. Please don't let it happen, please.
"You...WHO ARE YOU?" My body froze, my blood ran cold. It felt like the whole world stopped after she said those few words. It's like I've been impaled by a knife directly into my heart. This can't be true. This isn't happening, it's only a dream; a dream that I will soon wake up with. No. No. NO!
"_." I said; my voice is shaking as I let out the stream of tears that I've been holding back.
