"baby, you gotta get up...the doctor needs to run more test." armin rubbed my cheek softly. i pushed my face into his chest, groaning a little. "c'mon. i'll get you food after." i blinked a little and sat up. "starbucks please?" i pouted. he kissed my lips, "yes, my love." i smiled, looking around the hospital room. kiana and eren were in the corner on the small couch. it was adorable as they laid intertwined, kiana on top of him.

"ms. smith, i'm here to take your vitals." i nodded, lazily taking out my arm so she could stick me with a needle. this was nothing. i mean i had a whole tattoo going up my leg so this was nothing but a little pinch. it was just uncomfortable. "just a little more. we need to see if the drug is still in your system." i nodded, still sleepy as she pulled more vitals.

armin had gotten up to get ready, slipping out of the bed to the bathroom. "okay, i'm all done. we'll have those results back and i'll let you know when those officers come." i nodded and laid back against the pillows, not really registering what she was saying but i knew it was important.

it'll come back to me when i wake up.

i woke up with talking around me and i opened my eyes to see two officers. i glanced in the corner where kiana and eren were but they weren't there anymore. they must have went home. i immediately got scared and tensed up, backing up in the bed. "hey, hey..." armin placed his hand on mine. "what's happening?" i looked over at him. "they just want to talk to you but i asked if they'd wait till you woke up." he whispered and i nodded. "sorry, i'm just really sleepy. they woke me up at 7 for vitals and what not," i rubbed my eyes and coughed a bit. "here is your coffee, kota." armin handed me a mug and i smiled, "thank you."

"we just wanna ask you a few questions." one of the officers stated. "okay...go on." i urged. "is there anybody who you'd think would want to hurt you?" i picked the cover on my lap and glanced at armin. this whole situation was causing anxiety for me. "there is this one girl who doesn't really like me." i answered, "we got into it in italy and i think she could be the only one."

"old girlfriend of yours?" the other officer looked at armin and he nodded. "is this girl still in italy?" i shrugged. "i have no clue. she could've left and i wouldn't even know it." i explained before taking a sip of my coffee. the officer wrote some things in his pad of paper as i looked over at armin.

"has she tried calling you?" armin gave me a weird look. "why would she?"

"i would have assumed she'd try. we are talking about annie, remember." i rose an eyebrow and armin shook his head. "she hasn't. i blocked her number." he answered. i nodded, squeezing his hand a little. "with everything we have right now, we will look into it. however, we don't have a big lead."

i looked down in defeat, "what can we do to make sure she is caught?" i asked. "call us," one of them handed me a card. "if anything arises, call this number and one of us will answer." armin tilted my hand to see the card. "will do." armin agreed.

they walked out and i let out a breath of air. god damn that was nerve racking. "hey," armin caught my attention. i looked at him with a wary expression on my face. "we're gonna find out who did this, okay? but for now, don't go anywhere without someone and don't drink anything that you didn't pour." he advised. i groaned, "i feel like i'm living in a bubble now." i pouted and he got up to kiss it off my face. "this is for your safety."

i nodded, sighing. "when can i be discharged? i wanna go home believe it or not." i missed my bed and deja's food. my body ached and i wanted to be in my room. "after they give us these results from your vitals, we can leave. sit tight." i took a sip of my coffee and leaned back in the hospital bed.
