High School Casualties (Boyxboy)

Chapter 13

Levi and the police officers arrived at the hospital and rushed inside. They traveled up the elevator this time and made it to the third floor quickly. They ran down the hallway and when they reached Eren's room they saw the door was cracked and the guards were sleeping. The shorter officer barked an order and they opened their eyes groggily and looked around confused. Levi pushed past them and stumbled into the room. The bed was empty and there was blood everywhere.

Say goodbye

Levi stared at the words written there and felt extremely helpless. The tall police officer ran in and made a call to his boss. Levi could hear the sirens in the distance and then felt himself getting picked up and carried out of the room. The chief was standing in the hallway.

"Levi!" he yelled.

Levi gave him a blank look. The chief stared and then made his way over.

"Son, do you have any information that could help us out with this?" he asked.

Levi shook his head. The chief gave him a short nod and talked to the officers surrounding him. He gestured Levi's way and they nodded. A man approached Levi.

"I received orders to take you safely to your house. There will be guards placed on duty and you won't be able to leave your house. There will be someone to run your errands and get you food and all the essentials. If there's something else you need then tell the guards who are keeping track of you. Any questions?"

Levi shook his head again and followed the man out.

"My name is Florian. Odds are, I'll be doing most of your shopping. I'll be keeping track of you. My number is written on the white board in your house already so please put me in your contacts and try to not ignore my calls and texts. If I need to get ahold of you then it's probably very important. Any questions so far?"

Levi sat in silence for the rest of the ride trying to process what had just happened. Florian reached over and turned on the radio and turned up the volume. Face Down by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus played through the speakers. Levi nodded his head along to the song but listened closely to the lyrics.

Do you feel like a man

When you push her around

Do you feel better now

As she falls to the ground

Levi tried to block it out. It reminded him of his boyfriend whose mother is dead and who is currently in bad hands. Emotions filled him up and it took all his willpower to not break down in front of Florian. By the end of the song, the car was stopped in front of Levi's house. He opened the door, thanked Florian, and ran for the door. He pushed it open and shut it behind him. He could still hear the car running outside. Someone tried to open the door but Levi was still pressed against it so when he scooted away, the brown haired Florian stumbled in the door.

"Levi! You took off and I needed to make sure you were okay..." he trailed off at the sight of the younger mans tears.

Florian knelt down next to Levi and patted his back.

"Shhh... It's going to be okay. We'll find him. Don't say goodbye yet.."

Levi listened to the words that Florian spoke and tried to calm himself down. The tears wouldn't stop though. They kept falling and falling and nothing that Levi or Florian said could stop them. He gasped for air and could feel the panic run through him. His body was shaking and it felt like his body was going to shut down on himself. As soon as it started it was over. He leaned against the wall and took calming deep breaths. Florian stood up and put Levi's tea kettle on the stove. He pulled out a single mug and a tea bag.

"I'm going to make you some tea then head on my way. Okay?" he asked.

"Thank you," Levi told him between breaths.

The raven haired man stared at the ground and sent mental messages to Eren to make himself feel better. He knew that his loved one wouldn't receive them but it still made him feel better. He heard the tea kettle start to go off and the water getting poured into the cup. Florian made his way to Levi's small form and placed it in front of him. Levi looked up at him.

"Thanks again, Florian," he said.

Florian nodded his head and stepped back.

"I'll check in later tomorrow," he told Levi.

Levi watched him leave and waited for the car to leave before he got up and ran upstairs to change. He pulled open his drawers and pulled out a black long sleeved shirt. He paired it with black jeans and black shoes. He ran back downstairs and looked outside at the patrol car positioned outside the house. He swore under his breath and headed to the backyard. There was no one standing outside so he slid open the door and was about to step out when he realized that he still had his phone. He pulled it out of his pocket and tossed it on the couch. Then he closed the door behind himself and looked around. There was still no one out so he made a mad dash across his yard and dove into the bushes. He looked into the neighbors yard and saw that all the lights were off and the blinds were closed. He carefully snuck through the yard and looked up and down the street to make sure no police cars were hanging around. Seeing none, he removed himself from the shelter of the yards and walked along the sidewalks. Downtown was about twenty minutes away but it passed by quickly for Levi. He found himself in front of the Starbucks and thought for a moment. He turned himself all the way around and saw the dark alley him and his childhood friends used to hang out in. He looked both ways and then jogged across the street. He crept past trash cans and dumpsters with caution so that way he could defend himself from anyone who might have taken it over. The short man thought that he could fell himself being watched. He didn't want to call out names and sound like an idiot. Instead, he puckered up his lips and whistled out a tune that the three friends would use all the time if there was trouble. He waited a little bit and then repeated it. A little ways away he could hear the tune being returned. They returned it back and forth until he felt confident enough to shout out.

"Isabel! Farlan!" he yelled.

"Levi?!" two voices called back.

Levi was off running in an instant. He ran in the direction of the voices and when he thought he imagined it, he tripped over a wire that he overlooked. Isabel and Farlan stood up laughing.

"Someone's getting a little rusty," Farlan stated.

"Ha ha ha. Very funny guys. Listen, I need your help. I know you guys hear a lot so I want to get some information off of you." Levi said.

Farlan and Isabel looked at each other.

"Why should we help you? You abandoned us." Isabel said in an angry voice.

Levi bit his lip.

"Thats not what happened. The police kept me. I'm not even supposed to be here. I had to sneak out of my house to come and find you guys here and I didn't even know if I would. Please. Someone kidnapped my boyfrie- my new friend..."

Shick ran across Isabel and Farlans faces. Then Isabel grinned and held her hand out to Farlan. He rolled his eyes and reached into his pocket and fished around for his wallet. He pulled it out and handed her a wad of cash. Levi watched the exchange with curiosity.

"A really really long time ago we made a bet that you were gay and I won," Isabel explained.

"I'm sorry Levi! I just, I didn't know or really pick up on the gay vibe from you. I guess Isabel's gaydar really goes off around you though..." Farlan said.

Levi rolled his eyes at them.

"Really though, will you help?" He asked.

Farlan looked at Isabel.

"Yes we will."
