4. last resort

"Yeah. I'll be there in a few Y/n." Jean's voice quietly announces through the phone.

You were surprised he agreed to it but at the same time you weren't since he mentioned before he still wanted to see you. You can't help but feel a little disappointed in yourself, feeling like you were giving into his requests to see you right after he broke your heart.

"Thanks Jean." You reply before hanging up and walking back into Eren's house. You had stepped outside for the phone call, a bit embarrassed that you had to resort to calling Jean.

"You find a ride?" Eren questions with a small smile to which you nod your head in response.

A small look of disappointment takes over his face but he immediately covers it up with the same small smile from before. He wanted you to stay with him but he knew that you probably weren't comfortable so he was just happy to hear you found a ride.

"Who is coming to pick you up?" He then asks, raising one of his eyebrows a bit. You take a seat next to him on the couch and stare down at your lap, not wanting to answer the question out of embarrassment.

"Lets not overshare, remember?" You look at him with a sad smile, remembering the previous conversation you had with him. At the time you just wanted to rant about the breakup, now you were just a bit embarrassed about it. Especially since the guy that just broke your heart has to come pick you up.

Eren's lips press into a thin line and he looks away from you, also remembering what he previously said. "Right, sorry. Didn't mean to pry."

The air gets quiet for a few minutes and you awkwardly laugh to break the silence. "So why do you deal drugs in your own house? Isn't that a bit dumb?" You ask, changing the subject.

He softly giggles and faces you again. "I don't deal drugs in my house. I usually meet people in other places or I do it at parties." He explains.

You furrow your eyebrows in confusion at the sentence that just left his mouth. "Then what the hell am I doing here?" You ask, starting to get slightly worried at his intentions.

Eren then pushes his face directly in front of yours, so close that you can feel his breath on your lips. His eyes avert to your lips then back up to your eyes. "You don't seem like the type of girl to snitch on me right?"

You instantly freeze up and stare at him with flushed cheeks, not being able to say a word. He smirks at your reaction and leans back to his side of the couch with a loud sigh. "Plus, I didn't feel like going anywhere today."

Your eyes follow him, continuing to stare at him in shock, the pink color never leaving your cheeks.

Your thoughts are loudly interrupted by a car horn blaring from outside. Was this the worst timing or the best timing? You can't decide which.

"That must be your ride here to steal you away." Eren jokingly says while standing up from the couch. He then grabs your hand and gently pulls you up with him.

After looking up at him with a smile and a nod, you walk outside to see Jean parked in the driveway with his black mustang. The one you would ride in all the time. Eren begins to follow you but stops in the doorway.

"Don't forget to come back and get your car." He reminds you.

You glance back at him. He's standing there, leaning against the doorframe with his hands buried in the pockets of his sweatpants. God, he looks so good.

"I got it. Thanks again!" You wave and get into Jean's car.

Jean looks up from his phone immediately as you shut the door and gives you a soft smile. He notices the weird smell but decides to ignore it for now. You awkwardly return the smile and quickly look away to retrieve your own phone from your back pocket. His smile quickly fades as he looks past your face and sees Eren standing there, waving at him with a smirk.
