Toxic | Levi Ackerman

Chapter 37

Everything happens for a reason.

It gives people some type on lesson. Something to learn from it.

Although some may seem totally unnecessary, in the end, everything'll work out. Everything you've learn from that situation will eventually be helpful to you.

All it takes is for someone to hold onto hope. That's all one has. And that's all one needs.

As long as you have hope that things will get better, as long as you have hope in yourself, in others, everything will work out for you in the end.

"Y/n? Alice wants to talk to you. Are you awake?" Levi yelled from the outside of Y/n's bedroom door.

He forgets that Y/n doesn't have her phone anymore, so he's stuck being the messenger man between Alice and Y/n.

He has to get her a new one, one of these days.

Y/n opens the door for Levi in baggy pants and a pink long sleeved shirt.

She feels Levi's hard stare on her. She feels uncomfortable but at the same time, she misses it.

"Here." Levi hands Y/n his phone. They must be going out by the way Y/n is dressed. Which is fine, he just hopes that they don't go ahead and cause a scene that he'll have to take care of again.

Y/n takes the phone and puts it to her ear.

—

Y/n: Hello?

Alice: Hey mami. Are you ready? I'll pick you up in a bit.

Y/n: Yeah. Picking me up in what?

Alice: *laughs* My mom lent me her car so imma pick you up. But I got one of my own coming soon.

Y/n: Okay. I'll be waiting.

Alice: Bye mi amor.

Y/n looks up at Levi and hands him his phone.

The whole time, Levi's eyes haven't left hers.

'What's going on with him?' Y/n thinks.

What's he thinking of her right now?

Does he feel some type of hatred towards her because of what she said yesterday?

"Thank you." Y/n tells him but that doesn't make Levi move from his spot.

He continues looking straight at her.

"If you're going to drink, let me know. I'm not going to wait until I come back home from work to worry about where you are and what you're doing." He says harshly but quietly.

His hands are stuffed in his pocket.

He doesn't want to talk.

He doesn't want to just look at Y/n.

He wants to reach out for her.

Touch her.

Smell her.

Taste her.

He needs all of it.

He feels as if he might die if he doesn't. Like his life is being taken away from him.

But he continues saying what he has to say.

"Because it's me who has to force the words out of Alice. Use energy that I don't have to search for you guys and hear you guys curse at me." He continues. And he's lying.
