Chapter 38: Alone

Time skip: 4 weeks

You heard music blasting from speakers coming from inside of a frat house as you and Eren approached the front porch. You had been invited to a party on your campus by one of your new college friends so you decided that you would go with Eren. It was a Friday night and he had drove up to your college a few hours prior to the party. The last time you had gone to a party together was the day he asked you to be his girlfriend, and your relationship had been going steady as usual. Nothing had really changed since you pretty much already acted like a couple before you officially started dating, so it wasn't much of anything different.

"Ready?" he asked as he turned to you and squeezed your hand before entering the house.

"You bet." you smiled at him.

You walked into the big-ish house and saw people all over the place. There was a game of beer pong going on near the kitchen and there were people everywhere drinking and having a good time. You and Eren made your way to the living room where you met up with some of your friends, which Eren didn't know. He took a seat on the crowded couch and you sat on his lap since there was barely any room.

"Hey y/n! Is this the famous Eren we hear so much about?" you heard your new friend Colt ask from a smaller couch across from you.

"Yeah yeah. I don't talk about him that much though." you jokingly poked as you rolled your eyes. You were a little bit embarrassed that Colt had said that.

"You talk about me? How cute." Eren said in a tone that was clearly trying to make you feel embarrassed while he patted your head.

"Shut up." You rolled your eyes and looked away to try to hide your embarrassed looking face.

"Hey just so you know if you guys want a drink there's a buuuunch of different shit over in the kitchen. There's also some snacks I think. They might be gone by now though." Colt said in a loud voice. The music that was playing made the floor slightly vibrate from how loud it was.

"I'll go check it out. I'll let you know if there's anything good." Eren said as he let go of your waist that he had been holding onto.

You got up so that he could go to the kitchen and then sat back down on the couch where he had been. While he was gone, you and some of your friends chatted in the loudness of the room. After a minute, you heard a specific conversation get louder than everyone else.

"The fuck? I didn't take anything what are you on??" you heard a familiar voice yell. It was Eren.

"You took my phone it was laying right here on the counter just a minute ago and you're the only one around!" you heard another voice say.

"Shit shit shit shit!" you muttered in a low voice as you quickly got up from your seat and ran to the kitchen.

"There were other people over here just a second ago that could've taken it OR you're just a fucking moron and YOU did something else with it. I know for a fact that I didn't do shit with your phone. I'm not the one who's drunk here. You are. So I think that I would know that I didn't take the damn phone!" Eren yelled.

"You took it now give it back!" a clearly drunk college student yelled as he appeared to get more aggressive.

"Leave me the fuck alo-" Eren began to yell before being cut off by a punch that landed on the side of his face.

"Eren!" you yelled from a few feet away. At this point a crowd started to form around the arguing boys and you didn't know what to do. It's not like you could've gone over and get involved too much because the drunk boy was clearly getting very aggressive and it would've been dangerous.

Eren slowly brought the back of his wrist up to his nose and wiped a small amount of blood off as he brought his face up to look at the other guy who was just standing there.

"I said I didn't take the phone so please get the fuck away from me!"

Eren quickly brought his fists up and punched the guy in the side of his face, knocking him to the ground. Eren then quickly moved the gathered people out of his way and went outside. You immediately went after him and found him sitting on the porch steps. There was nobody outside because everyone had gone in to watch the fight.

You sat down beside him on the step in silence for a few seconds.

"We can't do this anymore." Eren said in a low voice that was raspy from yelling.

"...what?" you asked as you quickly turned to look at him. He was blankly staring at the ground in front of him.

"I cause too much trouble for you." he, a little bit aggressively said, continuing to keep his eyes on the ground.

"Eren what the fuck are you saying??" You raised your voice because you didn't know exactly what he wanted to say and it scared you.

"I've gotten into two fights now, I was dumb and left you alone at the party at the beach and you got fucking harassed, and I also put you in so much fucking danger by having you even come to the beach house. If you got caught, your entire school career could've been ruined and I still had you come over. I've done nothing but cause danger and trouble for you. I don't want to risk hurting you any more. I cant do this. I'm so sorry." he said as he stood up and walked to his car before you could say anything.

Your eyes stared filling with tears as you watched him walk away. "Eren! Stop you're wrong! You're so wrong! You're the best thing that's ever happened to me! I made the decision to sneak out! Please don't go!" your desperate pleas that screamed out of your shaking body weren't enough to convince him to stop leaving. He got in his car and drove off without another glance. You started crying harder than you ever had before. You sat on the step again and put your face into your arms and kept your head down as you sobbed.

A few people that you didn't know came outside after they heard your screams and crying.

"He left huh?" one said.

"Are you okay?" another one said in a not so caring way.

"Does it look like it? Fuck off." you yelled as you got up and started walking back to your nearby dorm in the dark. You could barely even see through your tears. You could barely even walk from the shakiness and because of how tensed you your muscles were from crying.
