Twenty-Third Chapter : Tears of Pain
The confusion on my face was evident. I couldn't understand what he was saying and I don't think I'll ever understand it.
"W-What are you saying, hmm?" I sweetly asked, trying my best to smile.
He smiled to. But it was devoid of any emotions.
"Leave my place. I don't want to see you here. Not now, not ever." I almost laughed at what he said. Is he joking? Of course he's joking!
I chuckled. "What's with the joke, love?" I asked, smiling.
But my smile fell when I couldn't see a single hint of joke at his face. It was screaming seriousness so nervousness crept into my system. I tried my best to calm myseld down, waiting for his next words and he did open his mouth to speak.
"This will be the last time I'll see you near me." He declared.
My lips parted. What did he mean by that?
"W-Why?" I asked.
Eren glanced at me with his cold eyes. Then, he showed me a smirk full of cruelty. "Because you never matter to me." He spat as if it was as simple as that.
But there was an emotion that crossed his face which gave me hope.
He didn't mean it. He didn't. He shouldn't.
Right?
"Now, leave." He calmly demanded.
I shook my head. I was adamant. I didn't want him to leave my side anymore. I'm so exhausted. I'm so tired. But he's my rest. He had always been my rest.
"No, love. Just sleep...you're just tired. Let's just sleep, Eren." I told him with a weak voice.
His lips formed a thin line as he shook his head.
"I can't afford to rest with you beside me." He spat those words like a venom. Like he really meant it.
Earlier, he was just so sweet. Now, what's this?
I sighed in utter exhaustion. Fine. If that's what he wants, then fine. I'll give it to him. But I'll probably go back here tomorrow morning and give him something to eat. I'll just let him be for today.
I smiled at the man I have always loved and nodded.
"Okay...rest, hmm? Goodnight." I told him. After that, I left.
As I walked further away from his door, the tears on my eyes were starting to run down my cheek again.
"You're crying again, huh?" A cocky voice reached my ears. It made me close my eyes. I knew who that was.
"He made you cry again. And again. And again." Levi said, looking intently at me.
He shook his head in disappointment. "When we were together, I never made you cry all the time. I never let a day pass without our argument being fixed. Because when we were together, you were always the one who hurts me." He said, stating a fact.
"Is that your karma, Y/N?" He raised his brows in a cocky way.
I cried as loud as I can as I shook my head.
"I don't want him gone, Levi. Please...please help me stop this pain. It hurts...so much. Please..." I pleaded.
It made me feel so ridiculous. I was always pushing Levi Ackerman away but he was the only one who was always there when Eren would hurt me, when Eren and I would fight, Levi would be the one to cheer me up.
The last time we saw each other, I pushed him away again.
And then right now, I was begging.
Ridiculous.
Levi tsked as walked closer to where I am now.
I thought he was gonna hug me just like what he always did when we were still together but I guess I was wrong.
He just gave me his white clean towel and walked away.
He didn't even wipe my tears.
I guess...he got tired too.
But after a while, he stopped walking.
"Eren Jaeger will only bring you pain. And are you not aware that you're already destroying a family, Y/N?" He asked.
After that, he left me in utter confusion.
