Let's Meet Again, For the First Time (Eren x OC)

26

My dad guided me out the police station and we were met with a swarm of cameras, lights flashing in our eyes as we struggled to make it to the car. "The fuck are all these?!", my dad snapped at the crowd swarming us. "Shit", I whispered as we moved through the sea of zombies snapping photos.

"Out of the way dammit!!", he pushed a man aside as he protected me from the cameras.
When we finally made it to the car, "Want to give me a little explanation for all this Spence?", he looked to me with wide eyes, I sunk in my seat.

"It's a really long story", I sighed tiredly.

"Bullet points", he sped off into the road, "Mikasa is Eren's ex, she's famous, and an acholic", I paused, "She wanted to hangout and I didn't think too much about it, we had a few drinks, she said she could drive and she...like lost it", I looked out the window beside me.

"How many times have I told you to not get into a car with someone who's been drinking?? I did not raise you to act like this", his tone was stern, yet somber. "I know dad I'm-", "You could've died", he looked to me, his eyes watery and saddened.

I looked to the ground, a feeling of sadness washed over me. I wasn't thinking about my actions, or how they could affect the people around me. I was being selfish.

That look in his eyes made my heart ache. The thought of him losing a child to reckless actions...was too much to bear.

"I'm really sorry dad", my voice cracked when I could finally look at him again. "It's okay honey just...-", his hand squeezed mine tightly, "Please be careful".

He parked in front of my apartment complex, "What were you and Eren's dad arguing about?", I asked him, "Grisha Yeager and I do not get along", he sighed heavily, "What happened?".

"Nothing happened, he's just a dick", he laughed, "We were rivals in high school- and college, absolutely hated each other", "Why?", I questioned. "We both had anger issues and butted heads a lot", he looked ahead of him, as if he were staring at a distant memory.

"Looks like his son is nothing like him from what I gather", he smiled, hoping to lighten the mood, "No...he isn't", my eyes fell, thinking of Eren.

"You don't need to talk to me about it...but just know- that things will work out Spence, they always do", he consoled me, "I messed up bad this time dad", my eyes started to burn with tears. "Remember", he said, I looked to him.

"Time is nothing but a river flowing through our past", he paused, "You can't change what's happened, but you can change tomorrow", I smiled sadly as he used my words I had forgotten.

"First thing you wrote for me", he smiled warmly, "You remember that old letter?", I laughed softly, "I got the whole thing memorized, I still read it most days". A tear fell from my eye and he wiped it away, "Tomorrow wont hurt as much", he hugged me tightly, "Thank you, I love you", my arms held him tightly. "Love you too honey, try and get some rest", he kissed my forehead.

I opened the door and Bec rushed to me, "You're okay!", she smiled in relief. "Dad called me when he got to the police station, I figured I'd wait for you here", she sat next to me on the sofa. "What happened Spencer?", she asked softly.

I filled her in on the entire night, not leaving out a single detail.

"Oh my god...", was all that left her lips in the empty room we sat in. "Mikasa...completely fucked you over", she whispered, "I'M GONNA DECK THAT CUNT!!!", she shot up, pure rage in her voice. She rushed to the counter and grabbed her keys, "You know where she lives?!!", her eyes wide with hate.

"Bec don't- I don't want to create any more headlines than I already have", my head fell in my hands. "Oh shit...I totally forgot she's a celebrity", she said, "And I'm the front page news tomorrow", anxiety flooded my veins.
