I am sooo angry. I couldn't post early or as much today because my ex friend needs to die.
Anyways, enjoy this fucking sad af chapter. ~Ash.
Chapter Fourteen:
Confetti falls from the sky as balloons pop and fly into the thin air. Lights are everywhere bringing a sense of joy to the world around us. Stands form around us as children's eyes reflect the lights that surround them bringing joy into their parents heart. Standing there with a smile on my face, to only find my phone buzzing. I flip it on to see my father left me an angry text. Sighing, I throw in my password and stare at the message.
Dad (7:37pm): Eren, Mikasa came home crying and ran up to her room screaming your son's an idiot. I'd love the details on why this occurred. I expect a reply or i'll be driving to pick you up if I am not already.
"Fuck.." I mumble. That's when I feel a hand on my shoulder. I whip my head around, stumbling as I almost fall to the floor. Levi stares at me with no emotions as I find myself staring into his eyes, only to get red faced. "Uh.. hello." My muscles tense up as take a deep breath. That's when my phone rings, it's my dad. "Uh, I need to get this.." I stutter, walking over to the dumpster where Levi twitches at the dirt around it. I click answer and instantly try to get out of this. "D-dad, I can explain-"
"Then do just that. I am getting my coat on so you better give me a reason to not come to that fair and yell at you in front of everyone." He threatens.
"Look, I don't know if she wants to talk about it-"
"Buttoning up my coat as we speak." He interrupts.
"Alright, alright! She confessed that she had feelings for me and i rejected her! Why am I always the bad one, huh? Wasn't my fucking fault this time! I just didn't feel the same fucking way!"
"Watch your language, Eren." My father snaps. "And I blame you because you most likely worded it wrong. Mikasa isn't one to get worked up."
"Are you kidding me? Why is it my fault? I didn't do shit!" I scream. "Whatever! Just go adopt her as your own for all I care, since you fucking like her so much more!" And with the I hang up, feeling the urge to cry sink in again. My hand curls around my wrist as my breaths become heavy. Don't ruin this night, you're getting to hang out with Levi… just think about that.
"Eren, how about you stay at my place tonight?" The senior pops up behind me. I jump back, slamming into the dumpster, feeling startled. Levi stares at me with a worried expression which is new for me. His glare is gone and he just looks worried. "I heard what happened, that was very unfair of your father and I know that you'd prefer not to go home to that. So you can stay at my place for the night or as long as you need." Levi pauses. "I am sorry." The fact that he cares so much about a little fight breaks my wall as I start sobbing. Tears fall from my eyes, bouncing off my cheeks as my hands try to wipe them away. My face becomes red as I feel embarrassed that I broke down so quickly in front of him and Levi of all people. Someone I only want to impress, not make him pity me.
"Eren.." He stutters for once, walking over to the dumpsters, even with his fear of germs. His arms wrap around my body, making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I place my face onto his shoulders as my throat cries for mercy. My nails grip onto his button up as cries form from my mouth. My phone buzzes as my mother calls me, only making me cry harder. Levi reaches for the phone and tells me to muffle my cry as he picks up.
"Hello? This is Levi Ackerman." He answers, politely.
"Oh..? Where's Eren? Can I talk to him?" My mom asks worriedly. Levi looks at me for an answer and I nod, putting my hand out towards Levi as he drops the device in my hand.
"Hello mom.." I mumble sniffling.
"Eren, are you crying? Aw, baby doll… I am so sorry." My mom speaks, continuing. "It isn't your fault at all, dear. Do you hear me? There was nothing you could do and I talked to Mikasa, you told her about being gay?" She whispers. "I am so proud of you and sorry she reacted that way. I am talking to her and she feels guilty, but broken hearted.. She honestly didn't mean to hurt you, baby." Mom states. "How about you come home and-"
"No, I am staying over at someone's house for the night." I snap, rubbing my eyes. "I am not going home. You can't make me."
"Hun, dad's on his way to get you-"
"No! I don't wanna see his face!" I shout into the phone. "Make him turn around, he doesn't need to fucking pick me up! I'm staying at Levi's because Levi actually gets me and treats me like i should be! Dad only treats me like a fucking two year old who is retarded! I don't wanna see him until he apologizes for all these years! All the damn years that he's made me feel like shit!" Levi stares down at me curiously as I continue. "Make him turn around!"
"Eren, please listen to m-"
"Fuck off!" I hang up, my hands shaking. Levi sits down in the dirt, looking very grossed out by all the germs that most likely are crawling onto him, but he continues to sit next to me anyways.
"Seems like you'll be staying at my place for awhile. I don't mind, I get lonely sometimes." Levi says softly, looking very disturbed. "I assume you want to go now? Fairs are not my cup of tea, I only went because you wanted me to. Once again, I am sorry that your father doesn't see you like I do." He finishes. I stare at him as more tears leak from my pupils, rushing down my face. My open my mouth as my words pile up and tumble from being so upset to the point where I just wanna be held.
"L-let's go home.."
