Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I don't own Attack on Titan.
"Ugh! Why are uggs so hard to run in!?' I ran away from the café. I ran till a hand grabbed my arm. I turned around and met the eyes of an angry Officer Pixis. I started to struggle.
"Miku what the hell is wrong with you!?" He shouted. Hearing my real name made me stop fighting back.
"Why are you running away? You have been waiting for months to meet this guy and you're just going to give up!?" I stayed silent, trying to fight back tears. I looked down at my feet while he lectures me.
"What's wrong Miku?" He asked in worry. I took deep breathes to calm myself.
"I'm…not needed." I said in a hoarse voice. Then I broke into tears.
"Why would you think that?"
"Look at his life Pixis! He has a beautiful wife, a nephew, and a cute son! He's happy!" I shouted at him. "If I tell him I'm his daughter I…I… would ruin the new life he built. I'm not needed there. I rather be alone than to destroy someone's happiness." I felt his hands on my head.
"You're…my daughter?" asked a low voice. I looked behind Pixis and saw Mr. Smith standing there in shock. "Miku… is that…you?" he asked. I froze on the spot. Pixis turns around and puts his arm around me.
"Mr. Smith, this is Miku "Mickey" Stevens, your daughter." Pixis says slowly. Erwin became wide up and took one step at a time towards us. While Pixis was distracted, I quickly ran away.
"Mickey!'
"Miku!"
I hear their shouts, but I kept running. I ran into a park with a nice little lake surrounded by trees. Out of breathe I sat down on the nice green grass and looked across the lake. I watched the leaves fall gently onto the lake and float away. I tried to take deep breathes and rubbing my locket, but it wasn't working. I started to cry again. Then, I heard something.
I turned my head to where the sound came from. There was a boy standing watching me. He was a bit dark skinned with bright blue green eyes. He wore a leather jacket with a gray shirt under it, dark blue jeans, and black shoes.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you! I heard crying and I was going to help and stuff!" said the flustered boy. I start to laugh at him. He stops talking and looks at me with a puzzled look.
"What's so funny?"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh." I said while wiping my tears. He started to walk towards me. I watched him as he sat down next to me.
"Why were you crying?" he asked.
"Um, just some stuff that's all. I don't think you would be interested."
"Try me." He said looking in to my eyes. My heart started to beat. I took some breathes and started to talk.
"I came to look for someone and I did, but I ran away."
Why?"
"He seemed happy without me. So I'm not needed."
"You didn't try to talk to him?"
"I tried, but I couldn't."
"You have to try harder! You can't just go through half way and give up. You have to give your all!" he takes my hands into his. "You can do it!" he said looking deep into my eyes. His words gave me strength. My heart started to beat faster. I nodded my head. He smiles. 'He's handsome when he smiles.' I started to blush and looked away. He started to blush too and let go of my hands. Then, we went silent.
"Do you like the outdoors?" he suddenly asked. I smiled and nodded. After that we started to talk about other things such as food and movies. We talked till he notice the sun going down. He suddenly gets up.
"Awe man I gotta go!" he shouted. "It was nice meeting you. Oh by the way, what's your name?"
"Miku but call me Mickey." I answered with a smile.
"Mickey."He says slowly. He gives me a smile and starts to run.
"Wait! I didn't get your name!" I shouted. He stops and turns to me.
"Eren! Eren Yeager!" he shouts back. He waves at me and runs away.
'Eren Yeager huh?' I smiled. I looked at the sun set. 'I'll go back and have a proper talk with Mr. Smith' I decided. I slowly got up and walked back towards the Recon Café.
