Never Let Go

Amneisa

(Eren's POV)

It had seemed like forever, but finally I saw something other than darkness. There was a small light in the distance, and I squinted my eyes, not sure whether or not to believe it was actually there.

I stared at it for a few seconds, pondering the thought that maybe, just maybe, I should go to it. Then again, maybe it's dangerous, and I should stay away from it.

it never got closer, smaller, closer, or farther. It was just... there. And I had no idea what it was.

After a minute or two, I finally decided that it could't hurt me if I went to it. I couldn't feel any pain here, because there was no threat.

I walked toward it. I kept walking, but I never seemed to get any closer. I was confused, but kept walking. After that, I began running, but to no avail.

'Am I not moving, or is it moving farther away when I move towards it?'

That's what I thought, until it suddenly rushed toward me and engulfed me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I blinked open my eyes, expecting to see either the darkness or the light. What I saw, though it was blinding, was not either. It looked like a room, and it smelled sterile.

"Where... Am I...?"

I expected nobody to hear me, but I heard sudden shuffling beside me. I would have looked over, but I didn't have enough energy. So instead I just closed my eyes again, hoping that whatever I heard would go away.

It didn't go away.

"Eren? Eren, are you awake? Please tell me you're awake!"

Silence.

"Eren, damn it... you're probably still asleep..."

Silence.

"Damn it all... now I'm fucking hearing things..."

He didn't speak another word after that. I wondered who the man was, and how he knew my name, but I also wondered about my life. My current life.

'What I saw was apparently my past life, as weird as that seems to me. I knew it wasn't my current life, because when I had entered the darkness, I knew I was there because I was in some tragic accident. There's no way that the way I died then was the way I had gotten there, so I made my assumption.'

However old I am, that was pretty fucking impressive!

But I had soon gotten tired of holding my eyes closed, so I decided to open them again, having somewhat adjusted to the near-blinding light.

'Should I tell the man I'm awake? He said I was sleeping, so my body must have been sleeping while I was in the darkness.'

I thought about it for a few minutes, then decided it couldn't hurt.

Well, I was really, really wrong.

When I looked over, I saw him.

The man who left me to die in my past life.

He was by my bed, sitting in the chair that faced away from me. I think he was talking to himself, maybe. But every so often, I heard a sharp inhale, like he was crying.

One part of me was beyond shocked to have found him so quickly, but the other part...

'Now's not the time to cry, you bitch! Suck it the fuck up and leave me like you did back then!'

Apparently he knows me in this life, or else he wouldn't be so emotional. But because he knows me, I can start to get some revenge.

Although it really did happen, I suppose, I can just express that I don't remember anything about my life. And all I have to do is be completely honest.

I sat up as quietly as I can, put on the most innocent look I could muster, and said, "Huh? What... is this place?" in the most innocent voice I could make.

And let me tell you, it certainly got the man's attention.

He whipped around in his chair, and the moment he laid his eyes on me, he was tearing up again. He nearly jumped out of the chair and hugged me, to which I grimaced and had to hold in a snarl.

"Eren!! Oh my God, you're finally awake!! It's been so long... I could barely keep it together for those three months!!!"

I was about to say something, but I heard him say 'three months.'

'I was in that darkness for three whole months? What happened to me?'

Of course, I wasn't going to go unanswered.

"What happened to me?"

He pulled away, a hint of surprise on his face.

"Right, you wouldn't remember. It happened three months ago. We got into a car accident, and you've been a coma ever since then."

Oh, I see. So that's what happened. It was a car accident... I did remember being in an accident right before I went to the darkness, but nothing more than that. I had no idea what accident or anything like that.

"Okay..."

Now it was time to get his name.

And sweet, sweet revenge.

"Who are you?"

(Levi's POV)

"Who are you?"

My eyes widened, and my heart nearly shattered to pieces. Did I just hear what I thought I just heard?

Does Eren... not remember me?

"Eren, surely you remember... I'm your boyfriend, Levi..."

At that, his eyes widened. Does he remember now?

"You're my boyfriend?! But how?! I don't even know you! How could I be in a relationship with a stranger?!"

My eyes widened, and I nearly burst into tears at that moment. Eren... really doesn't remember me. Not at all. Although he doesn't seem all that homophobic based on his reaction. At least he didn't say, "Oh God, I am not gay."

But nonetheless, he had no memory of me.

It broke my heart.

"Well... do you remember anything?"

He shook his head. "No... all I know is that my name is Eren Jaeger, and that apparently I just woke up from a coma because of a car accident."

He didn't remember anything. Not a single damn thing.

'Eren... you just woke up, but it hurts more than when you were asleep...'

(A/N) Okay, this isn't going to work with my previous story. Eren and Levi can drive and all of this stuff, and they're in 8th grade. I really need to make some changes to Chance Encounter. Let's hope it doesn't wreck the story line!

(This is me, coming back after editing Chance Encounter. Here's the change;

Levi and Eren have graduated highschool. Chance Encounter now takes place in their senior years.

Hopefully that makes this story sail a bit smoother!)
