Addicted To You~(EreMika)

CHAPTER 2

Eren?

I wonder who that could be... I didn't meet him at school surprisingly. Maybe he's not in the same class as the rest. Or maybe he skipped.

As I arrived home, I walked in and said "I'm home" but it didn't really go for anyone, since Levi was working.

I walked up the stairs and got into my room. I just laid in my bed, set an alarm for 30 minutes, and took a quick nap because I felt unusually tired.

Eren's POV

Arriving to the gym, I did some quick warm up exercises, grabbed my boxing gloves out of my bag and got ready for some workout.

I had been into martial arts for as long as I can remember, so I became really good at it. I used to have a trainer and everything but now it's just me and my boys Reiner, Armin and Connie.

Armin was my best friend, and the person I knew for the longest time. I met him when I was 6, after I beat up 3 kids that were bullying him. He was smart, kind and reliable. I taught him how to fight, introduced him to the person he had now been dating for almost a year, Annie, and even made him go from a nerdy little nobody, to a badass gangster. Still, I could never repay my debt to him...

Reiner was another homie of mine. He was easily the most reliable person of us all, having that warrior mentality and balls of steel.

Connie was the final guy in the group. Again, big ups to that guy as well. If I had to describe him with three words, I'd say short, funny, crazy. He was a goofer you wouldn't dare to mess with. This guy would go batsit crazy over beating up people.

I met the last 2 when I was about 13 and stuck with them ever since.

After a good 2 hours of working out, I packed my stuff and left the gym.

My phone buzzed. A massage in our group chat from Sasha. It wrote, 'lets hang out at the park tomorrow around 7pm'

One thing that caught my attention was that she added someone to our group chat.

Mikasa?

I guess they met some girl named Mikasa today. I really wasn't in the mood to interact with others so I didn't really talk to them or anything.

It was exactly 2 years ago that I lost my parents in a car accident. I wasn't in the car at that time but my brother, Zeke, got a call from the hospital and we soon learnt the news.

Me and my brother live together now. He is 23,working as a music producer and his career is going fairly well. I also work from time to time when things get a little more rough so I can support him. So far, I've worked at 2 fast food places and a skate board shop.

I also made some money off of fight clubs and petty theft. The people I stole from where just assholes who were dumb enough to carry money or good looking jewelry to a fight.

My friends knew what this day meant for me and gave me my space, as I wanted. For some reason, I wouldn't get emotional during the morning, but I was lowkey hoping they would show up during the night to maybe cheer me up, even if I hadn't said anything. I already appreciated the understanding that they showed but I knew that the moment I would sit in my bed to relax, the sadness would show itself.

I eventually got home and took a quick cold shower to relax. I grabbed my phone and headphones, put some music on and went to grab a soda.

I grabbed my drink and headed upstairs again. I got out in the balcony to just chill.

There was a table and 2 chairs, where me and Zeke usually sat to talk about stuff.

I looked to my left and noticed that someone had moved in the apartment next-doors. I hadn't really been home in the last 2-3 days so I didn't know.

I had spent the last couple days at Connie's and Ymir's.

Ymir was probably the person closest to me other than Armin. She had been dating another girl named Historia for about two years.

It wasn't really weird for me to sleep over at Ymir's house because she's into girls to begin with and also she's the closest thing to a sister that I've had.

As I said, I wasn't really in the mood to be the good guy who goes to meet the new neighbours, so I didn't.

I had a full hour of doing nothing but chilling, before my night jog. I go for a jog every night at about 9pm.

This hour passed in the blink of an eye. I think I might have fallen asleep for a little but I'm not even sure. I got in a sleeveless shirt,a jacket and some shorts, and left the house.

It was dark outside, and I could feel the breeze. It was honestly the perfect time for a night jog. I ran about 2 miles, like every other day, circling the neighborhood, and then I had about 5 minutes walking home from where I stopped, perfect to relax.

I put my hood on since I wasn't running anymore and looked down exhausted. I was basically in auto-pilot mode. I wasn't paying any attention to my surroundings, it was a long day and I was tired. I just wanted to go home and fall asleep.

Mikasa's POV

I was walking home after a late-night walk, but I noticed a dude following me. He turned on every turn I did, always staying a few feet behind me. He had a hood on and he was looking on the ground so I couldn't see his face. I told myself that if he followed me on the next turn I'd stay behind the wall and punch him in the stomach the minute he turns.

And so I did. I casually took a right turn and stayed close to it with my back against it. I heard his footsteps, then saw his shadow. He turned... And BOOM
