Eremika:When The Time Is Right

12.Hitch II

*Mikasa Pov*

~continuing the flashback~

I grab my things and head out,my bag slinging from my side,I step down her mansion and walk down into the streets of her neighbourhood.
All I can reply is her face.
Her hair was messed up from her moving when I was brushing her hair.Her eyes were red.And it seems like she was digging her nails into her palm.

Her screech is what scared me.I saw the transformation from the perfect girl to a monster within minutes.What could have possibly triggered her?
I shudder at the sight of what she could do next and focus on how to get home.

-morning-
I wake up to see 5 missed cls from Eren.What the hell.Its the weekend right now so,Levi is probably at work or at some meeting,the man never gets rest.I plop to the bathroom and get my self washed up,put on some clothes and drag my feet down the stairs.

Im still extremely tired from the night before and I make myself some coffee.As I turn on the kettle, I'm greeted with the pounding of the door.I flinch and groan as I have to answer it.

"Coming,coming"I lazily say as go to open the door.

As I open the door,I am approached Eren.I don't know why he came knocking when he has his own key with his own room.

"Oh,hey Eren,what brings you back her-"

"Cut the crap Mikasa"

My eyes blink and his sudden voice change.

"What?"I say dumbfounded.

"Mikasa what happend last night?"He kisses his teeth and takes a seat.

"I don't know what your talking about" I say still confused at this whole situation.
The kettle goes off which is my cue to go and process it,but as I go to leave he pulls me down to sit next to him.

"Mikasa."He stops"Why would you do that?"

Okay I am beyond confused.

"Do what" I say hesitating in bewilderment,my eyes squint as I try to concur with his statement.

He sighs, almost like he's prepares himself for the worst.

"Eren,what's the matter just tell me?"I say,trying to touch his shoulder in comfort."I don't know what your on abou-"

"You ripped her hair out Mikasa and said some pretty mean things to her"He sighs,pausing and looking at the floor.

"Wh-"I pause.

"I knew you didn't like her but I never thought that-"

"What"I stop, slowly standing up"What do you mean I ripped her hair out and said mean things?"I raise my voice quite loud,in the anger of the word's commencing out if his mouth.

He stands up, conjoining my gesture."She was so upset that her best friend said all those mean things to her"He says slightly calmer than me.

"WHAT THINGS"I say,finally losing my patience,I throw my hands by my side in anger.

"You told her that nobody cared about her and then messed up her hair in anger"

"What.Are you hearing yourself?"I say in anger and confusion,no way he thought I would do that.

"Did you say anything rude?"

"Well"I stop and flashback to when I did say something along those lines but it was merely just facts."All I said was that people were probably going to be there for the drinks and not for her-"

"So she was right."He brushes his hand through his hair and sighs again.

"Eren"I stutter"She's twisted my words,it's not really like that-"

"Then what is it like Mikasa,I tried to convince her that you didn't say what she thought you said but you basically fessed up."

"Listen-"

I hear the ringing of a phone coming from Erens phone.Its his big brother,Zeke.He picks up his phone and looks at me when walking away.This must be important.Eren used to live with me and Levi in this house that both our parnets funded before they died.It was more fo a thank you gift from Erens parnets as they were gone for a long time and we basically looked after him for them.
He stopped living here when Zeke came for a visit.The visit came from days,into weeks into 3 months.I don't know why he stayed,since he wasn't really around a lot for Eren and they are half siblings,for Geishas first marriage.I only ever saw his parents once or twice,about they were never really here.
I don't think Zeke likes me that much,whenever I'm around Eren,he whispers something to him or whenever I make a tiny mistake,he looks at Eren as if it's wrong or as if it's what is expected of me.It made me feel strange.

Eren comes walking back,looking distraught.
I gaze at him, wondering what's wrong"Eren,could you just tell me what happend-"

He sighs"Hitch came to her birthday party,her hair messed up,like an animal had done it"he chuckled ironically."She turned off the music and kicked everybody out.She then stormed out crying,I wondered what was wrong so I went to follow her"

She's so dramatic, I thought.

"She was crying,at the back of her hall,I went up and asked her what happened as she told me what you said."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.Shes such a drama queen.

"Are you being for real right now??"I scoff"Yea okay,I told her that nobody is going to care about her at her party and so what?" I was angry, what she told Eren was painting me out to be the bad person,and in my defense,I was right,she loooves all the attention to be on her,all the time.
"Mikasa-"

"No,Eren,I don't care.I literally DONT CARE.She deserved every word that came out of my mouth, because the moment I give the same energy back I'm the bully?"I groan in anger,all the rage that had been pent up inside me was finally coming out."She made my life hell,Eren.Every chance she had,she made me feel like a little any being squashed to death,but you don't see me crying about it,do you?"I shout aggressively.

"Your being dramatic" he says.
Dramatic.Me?He must be out if his mind.

"Get out."

Silence fills the room

"I said Get.Out"I say once again,not bearing to look at him again.
"If your not going to try to understand then you should just leave."

"Mikasa, you should know she's sensitive because of things that happend to her,not everyone's life is perfect"

"So why should I give her an expectation,when no-one give me the same mercy and sympathy they gave her?"I tirelessly say,ready to end this conversation.This was draining every single peice of me.Why should I have to give exceptions for her when she gave none for me,when she made me feel like shit.When she turned to one friend I had away from me.

I walk away and soon enough I hear the front door close.He was gone.Of course I was going to see him again but he was all I had.
I feel tears flowing out my eyes.This was the first time I let someone make me cry,since my parents died.I bawl my eyes out as I had just lost my best friend.
