"Fuuuck."

You groaned as your alarm blared through your quiet bedroom, smacking things off your nightstand as you tried to find your phone. Once found, you squinted and turned your brightness down as you turned off the alarm. You had a few missed text messages from your best friend, Sasha.

Sasha-

Hey y/n! I'm having a small party tonight, you should come! It's been a while since we've all hung out :(

You sighed, tossing your phone to the side after responding with a quick "Okay, I'll be there!". After rubbing your eyes you stumbled into the bathroom, shivering at the cold tile on your bare feet as you slipped your shorts down and sat on the toilet to pee.

Your cat, Peep, came running into the bathroom to greet you. He purred as he rubbed his fluffy black and white body all over your legs and you giggled, giving him a quick pet before getting up and brushing your teeth.

Peep had been the only thing in your life you really cared for, lately. You had fled from your abusive ex-boyfriend, Reiner. You came back to the city to be closer to your friends after you finally left him. Guilt always consumed you for not listening to them when they told you he was bad news, but you went ahead and followed him anyways. There wasn't even time to collect your personal belongings that night, you just packed what you could fit into a backpack along with  Peep, and vanished from his life for good.

Dark memories of the times you would lock yourself in the bathroom to escape his drunken violent rampages, or the one time he had broken you collar bone from shoving you off of the bed into the wall, swirled your tired mind as you brushed your teeth. You absentmindedly rubbed your left collar bone, running your finger over the chunky scar tissue that was still healing from your surgery on it six months ago.

Now you were stuck in this shitty apartment, everything falling apart and old compared to Sasha and Mikasa's luxurious unit. It wasn't your fault that you were stuck here considering Reiner stole almost all of your money and gambled it away in one night on one of his benders. You would get there one day, you just kept reminding yourself that it takes more than a month to get on your feet and ahead in a city as big as Trost.

After you finished getting ready and applying quick makeup, you quickly pulled your hair from its messy bun and felt thankful it still looked pretty and wavy from yesterday. Working at a local bookstore had its perks, like a cafe and being able to dress however you wanted. You pulled on your favorite comfy outfit that was still publicly acceptable before slinging your bag over your shoulder. Leaving a small bowl of food out for Peep, you kissed his little pink nose and gave him a pat on the head.

"I'll see you later! Be a good boy, I love you!" You cooed to him as you left and locked the door behind you. Your shift was from eight until four, and as you walked down the busy street you checked your phone again to see if Sasha texted you yet. You quickly read her message and a breath hitched in your throat.

Sasha -

Yay! Come at 5 so that we can get ready together
There's someone coming tonight that I want you to meet! 👀
