THE RETURN

Y/n's pov: as soon as I stepped out of the airport I knew I was going to regret this decision. Coming back to this city was not a good idea but it was a brave one. Being in Japan has been good for my mental health but it never felt like home.

I knew Sooner Or Later I'd want to come back to the place where I grew up. It's going to be too hard without historia by my side but I cannot spend my life living somewhere that will never feel like home.

You took a deep sigh and started walking towards a cab with slightly shaking legs. While you were on the way home, you saw the restaurant where you used to hang out with historia and were hit by nostalgia. The driver took the longer route and you saw your school and were reminded of all the memories you made there with your school friends, wishing to turn back time to the good old days.

You wondered if they were still in this town. You hoped to see them all except for one person, EREN.

He used to be your best friend but now you can't even stand the thought of him. You still remember clearly how his brother was probably the reason your sister killed herself and how he has not even tried contacting you in past two years. It really hurt you and made you furious at the same time.

Y/N's POV: I was too lost in my thoughts when abruptly the cab stopped with a screeching and there I was.. in front of the house I used to call "home". I stepped out of the cab and carried my luggage to the front door, it was covered in layers of dust.

As I opened the door, there was still a hint of the smell of lavender candles that historia adored. The furniture, obviously, was covered in layers and layers of dust and there were spider webs as far as my sight could go. I quickly changed into comfy old clothes and started cleaning. While cleaning, I found her favorite books that she used to read for hours on end, a picture of her and I that she kept at her nightstand, her old clothes in the wardrobe ... everything, EVERYTHING reminded me of her.

My eyes were brimming with tears but I tried to ignore it and went to take a shower. Warm water travelled down from my head to toe, It felt almost as if it was embracing me, like it was telling me "you're not alone" but i knew it wasn't true. Historia was everything I had in my life, but now she was not there with me. Heck, it's been two years already and yet I cannot fully accept the fact that she's indeed "DEAD". She left me just like that, without a warning. I wanted her to come back and stay or atleast give me a reason why she did what she did.

Tears again started blurring out your vision and you felt a knot in your stomach thinking of just how good life was two years ago and broke down crying on the bathroom floor.

You kept crying until you couldn't anymore. Your head felt heavy as a rock and you struggled to walk as you got out of the shower and went straight to bed because of how tired you were.

*Time skip.

10 pm.

You woke up to the sound of windows creaking due to gusts of wind. You looked up at the clock and realized you had been asleep for hours now, the crying got you exhausted and now you were feeling limp as a dead fish. You rubbed your eyes and rolled out of bed, made yourself some food.

As you sat on the couch eating, the warm aroma of freshly made food filled the room and you felt comfortable being at home finally, but the silence was deafening. If there was anything you hated apart from lies, maths and eren, it was being lonely and since there was nothing you could do because you had like zero friends in this town, you decided to take a walk.

It was unusually quiet and dark and the only thing accompanying you was the cool wind caressing your face. You strolled down the park that was located near your house.

The moon was gleaming brightly.
"Only if i had someone to share this view with" you said to yourself quietly.
Before you could turn around you heard a voice.
