Hello again!

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while, my mocks are coming up soon and I haven't really had the time of day to do any of this shizzle. I think I am going to put long distance on hiatus, for the time being, only because I am at a really bad writers block and i'm not really in the mood for it. But anyway, here is chapter 15, I don't read through these (really) due to the fact i'm lazy, so ignore any mistakes.

DISCLAIMER: Sadly, I do not own ;-;

Oh, one last thing! I am so grateful for all of you reading this fic. Your responses have brought joy to my day and your all wonderful people! Thank you so much!

"Did you mean it?"

"D-Did I me-mean what?" I asked, not really wanting to know the answer. Tears threatened to spill my eyes, I let them. There wasn't a point of holding them back now. It wouldn't make me any more pathetic than I was. No, I'm pretty sure I have already reached rock bottom.

Mr Rivaille took a shaky breath. "Did you mean what you said this morning? Do you love me?"

I gasped. Oh shit! How on earth could I fix this? That's right, I can't. My mother always told me not to lie. I guessed that shit couldn't get any worse than it was. I mean, there is still hope that he will accept my feelings. I gave a nod and a feeble "Yes."

He stood up and walked over to me, offering a hand on my shoulder. "Eren, I can't do this."

Without thinking I spoke back. "What do you mean, you can't do this?!" I asked, disbelief dominating my voice.

"I'm sorry, it's too dangerous. It's better that you don't associate yourself with us. Even befriending Hanji is far too dangerous. You sho-"

"WHAT?!" I screamed back, cutting him off. "Too dangerous?! And you think that letting me be alone is safer. I fucking tried to commit suicide and you think I am safer on my own?! Now, I don't know what on earth is going on but I most certainly won't be safer on my own!"

Mr Rivaille seemed a bit taken aback by this. "What do you mean alone? You have your sister."

I slammed a fist down into the table. "She fucking killed herself! It's all my fault, too! I don't deserve to live."

At that, Levi froze. "Wait, did you just say-Didn't your sister work for MPBrigade Ltd?"

I gave a nod. "Yes, but I don't see how that has anything to do with this."

Levi pulled out a phone and punched in a number. Keeping his eyes on my as the ringing, rang through his ears. "Hello? Hanji, yes. Bring the car around, get Erwin and Petra. Oh and be quick. Yes, I found out. How could you not have told me about that? Which one? Both! Look, I will talk to you later. You know how it's not safe, they act fast." Levi hung up said phone. I was confused. So much so I couldn't move. There was movement around me and I blunt object hit my head.

The last thing I remembered was Levi's thick tone uttering apologies.

My eyes hazily flickered into life. Erugh, I blacked out… again. I'm sick of this! What is wrong with me? Well, if I had to answer, I'd say everything.

I looked around, strange. I was in what seemed like a van. I was a bit sceptical at first and didn't believe it. But the rumble of an engine and the bump of terrain secured my suspicion. I was definitely in some sort of vehicle. But why?

My memory reverted back to talking with Mr Rivaille. He said something about bringing a car around and I'm pretty sure he mentioned Ms Ral and Mr Smith. But why?

I shuffled back to sit up, my whole body wracking with pain. I let out a pained moan as a rubbed at a throbbing lump on my head.

"Ah, so you're finally awake now?" A smooth, thick voice asked, full of concern. If I hadn't known any better I would have pegged it as not being Mr Rivaille, due to the fact he sounded concerned. But, yes, it was him and no I was not happy about it.

My head shot around, angered at the previous event. "What the hell is going on? What did you do?!" I asked, frantically.

"I did what I had to, Eren. I'm sorry, for what I said before, I hadn't known." He replied, vaguely answering my question.

"What do you mean? What did you have to do, EXPLAIN YOURSELF?"

Levi opened his mouth and was about to answer me, that was until the vehicle halted, surprisingly softly. He closed his mouth and turned to the door, which was whipped open by a usually cheerful Hanji.

"OKAY GUYS! WE ARE HERE!" She beamed, her signature smile plastered onto her face. Boy, I wish I had some of what she was having. Hanji stretched out her arm to guide me out, I was about to take it, until my attention was taken by movement behind Hanji. There were two figures. I squinted to try and focus.

"Ms Ral? Mr Smith? What are you doing here?" I asked in disbelief. But, wait, wasn't Mr Rivaille talking about them on the phone? Why am I so surprised? Shit like this comes up all the time. Fuck, my life is like a rollercoaster right now. But I am also completely lost right now. What on earth is going on?

They all exchanged glances to each other, even Hanji, with her arm still stretched out towards me. Okay, I need answers, now. "Would someone please tell me what is going on?" I asked, still completely 'out-of-it'.

They all looked back to me. Hanji moved around her wrist, "come, Eren, let's go inside."

I reluctantly took her hand and climbed out of the vehicle. Even though I couldn't see it, I knew Levi was looking at me. I could just feel his burning gaze drilling into my back.

Once out, Hanji didn't let go of my hand. Which was fine, I kind of needed reassurance at this moment in time. I took a moment to evaluate the surroundings. Thick forest as far at the eyes could see. A barley legal dirt road trailing behind the, previously vacated, van's rear. The forest's trees were tall and wide. It was a perfect place for hiding. There was a mixtures of tree types. Evergreens were the most common, showing off there dazzlingly bright emeralds and jades. Then there were the coniferous trees, which were not so common. They held rich gold's and blood reds. The sight was breath taking.

Hanji gave my hand a little squeeze and we walked past a dense wall of trees, in front of the van. The crunch of the leaves would definitely notify us of any pursuers. Wait, why am I thinking about pursuers? That brought me to my previous trail of thought. Why am I here? Where are they taking me? "Wow, look at all these big-ass trees." I heard Mr Rivaille say behind me, I inwardly smiled.

The bobbled brunette continued to guide me into the dense, jungle-like forest. We had been walking for around 10 minutes, in silence, only the crunches and the crackling of umber leaves carpeting the soil. "Hanji, what is going on? Where are you-no, why are you taking me, into a forest?" I asked, again, rather pleadingly this time.

I think she took pity on me and caved in. My teal eyes giving off the aura of a kicked puppy. "It's all for you, Eren. For your safety. Look, I… no, we will explain more soon, let's just get to the cabin."

I was about to say something back but, Hanji being Hanji, read me like a book and shut me up with a few taps of her nose, before I could even say anything, adding, "Patience, Eren. All will be revealed."

I turned around, grey meeting teal. Mr Rivaille was glaring directly at me. I could see Ms Ral and Mr Smith in my peripheral vision, I was still confused at why they were here but I decided not to further on my inward query; as Hanji said 'all will be revealed'. The three of them were hot on our heels. Well sort of; they still gave us a decent amount of distance. I turned my head back around and faced forward.

After a further couple of minutes, we arrived at a little clearing, which was still densely populated with threes, though. In the middle of the 'clearing' sat a cabin. It was medium sized and looked around 3 bedrooms big.

"Hanji," Mr Smith called, bringing the attention of the former, to himself. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys, giving it a little jingle. He then tossed them to Hanji, who caught them, expertly. "Run ahead and open up, will you?"

She eagerly nodded, letting go of my hand to run ahead. I gave a little whimper, from lost contact, which seemed to go unnoticed by everyone, other than Levi. Of course, it figures. Of course he would hear it. At my sound, I saw Mr Rivaille, flinch a little, out of the very corner of my eye.

We neared closer to the cabin, me still taking the lead, in front of the other three. Hanji had opened the door and left it open. This started to let a few golden leaves in, but I wasn't too bothered about that, but I could see Mr Rivaille was, his fists clenched and unclenched and his jaw tightened at the sight.

The cabin was nice. It seemed quite homely. That was something I loved about Hanji's house so I could see myself enjoying the stay here, even though I didn't know why I was here. One thing I noticed too was that it was clean. Spotless in fact. "I like Erwin to keep the place clean, for my sake." Levi spoke up, behind me, making me flinch and jump a little.

"Oh, for fucks sake Levi, you scared the shit out of me!" I replied, adding a calming huff at the end. "Anyway, how am I supposed to live without my things? Where am I supposed to stay either?"

Somehow Levi had slipped away and come back. I knew this because next thing I knew, a bag was thrown at me. "Follow me."

I do as he says, walking slightly behind him. I notice, that he is carrying luggage too.

Levi opens the door to a room. In the room, there is one king-size bed. I can hear Levi sigh, but I don't know why. "For fucks sake. I thought I told Erwin to get twin beds?" Levi complained, more to himself. He put his case down and turned around to face me. "Well, brat? Are you just going to stand there and stare or are you actually going to unpack."

My heart started to race, "Oh, erm… is that… are you…"

"Come on, brat spit it out?"

"A-are we staying in the s-s-same room?"

Levi sighed once more and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Yes, we are, if you clearly haven't guessed. We are sleeping in the same bed too. Now unpack your shitty stuff."

"Y-yes"

Oh fuck! I'm sleeping with Levi!

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! In the next few, things should start to piece together! So keep your heads up until then! :)
