I need you

Chase

Eren reached Mikasa's apartment, he ranged the doorbell, Armin was the one to open it.

He walked in to notice Annie leaning on the wall far away, Connie was on the laptop while sitting on the sofa and Sasha beside him, worried. Jean was pacing back and forth as soon as he sees eren enter the room, he stops.

Jean knit his eyebrow and grabbed Eren's collar.

"You bastard.."

Jean was the one who saw Mikasa getting kidnapped but sadly he couldn't do anything cause he was on the opposite side of the road and before he could make a run, it was too late.

Armin jumped in between to calm jean.

"It happened because of him, She looked so sad and she didn't even fight back.." Jean snapped.

"What a shame.." Annie sighed underneath from the corner. She knew Mikasa could easily take down group of men. No one heard her comment.

Eren just stood there like a statue but it was surprising Mikasa didn't fight.

Armin's eyes fell.

"She must be mentally strained, in such state her physical strength doesn't help"

Eren was astound hearing this, Mikasa has her weakness that he wasn't aware of but he thinks his absence for 4 years was to blame now Armin knows more about Mikasa than he does but he doesn't complain, it makes him more filled with the guilt.

"We can complain to the police but the van had no number plate and it had a yellow sticker on it ..do you know what it means" Jean said, his voice filled with temper.

"That it belongs to a powerful person" Armin answered even though it was not intended to him.

Eren's eyes widened, a realization hit him which filled him with rage he stomp towards the door but Armin grabs him by the shoulder.

"Where are you going?" Armin knows eren would do something stupid in anger.

Eren was angry but then his eyes fell in down.

"I...I need to get her back" He said, softly.

"I know...But you need to calm down first, we don't even know where she is.." Armin reasoned.

Eren relaxed his body and walked to sit on the chair.

Everyone's eyes followed him.

"I am sorry...I know where she might be.." He whispered with his raspy voice but the room was too quiet so it didn't go unheard.

"What!.. Eren..just tell us everything.." Armin panicked, he always knew eren was hiding something.

Now it was the moment of truth, eren can't hide no more. He has always been a coward running away from the truth, he ran away from here cause he couldn't face the fact Mikasa was stronger than him, he envied her but he was just a small kid, so childish back then now it has changed. He has become more acceptable and he understands that he can't keep everyone in dark. They must be aware of his changed attitude ever since he returned, they must have their own questions and now it was time to answer it.

"It's my fault...4 years ago......." He told them everything about his mother, then he had come back to live with his brother, about Reiss, about Historia, about Kenny and the laptop.

Silence.

No one moved.

Frustration filled within him but he remained quiet. He knows his friends are in shock after listening to his words but he feels a sudden rush to get out of here to get to Mikasa so he stands up again no one stops him this time.
