Finding light in the Darkness

Christa POV:

Its been about two days and Ymir has been doing better you could say. She has small little break downs you could call them but its not as bad as before. She is really trying her best to stay clean and sober.

“Ymir” I said. I was laying on her stomach as she was reading.

“Whats up?” She asked putting her book down.

“I need you to be fully honest with me” I said staring her dead in the eyes. She sat up and nodded. I sat up aswell.

“I need to know. Everything. The addictions. The ‘issues’. Everything” I said straightforward.  Ymir sighed.

“Where should I start” She asked.

“The beginning” I said. Ymir sat back.

“My dad was shit. He abused me but mainly my mom. He was an addict. He even grew meth in our basment and sold it for money. My dad had really bad anger issues. If one thing was out of place he would go on a rant and beat me or my mom. Unfortunately, I inherited those issues of his. When he would yell at me I would yell back causing him to beat me even more. I started stealing the meth he grew so I could control my issues. I started using more and more till I was addicted. My dad even held me at gunpoint once. My mother tried to save me but he shot her. Six times he shot her. I ran away hoping to leave all of that behind me” Ymir spoke. No emotions were present. I hugged Ymir.

“Im sorry you went through that” I said.

“Dont be sorry. Its not like it was your fault” She spoke. I nodded. We stayed silent for a few moments.

“Lets go meet up with the girls again. Maybe you could make up with Sasha” I insisted. Ymir sighed.

“I dont feel like seeing that bitch” She said in a gruff tone.

“Please” I said looking at her with puppy dog eyes. She groaned.

“Fine. Only because I love you” She said kissing the top of my head. I smiled.

Ymir POV:

Yet again, we met them at the mall. Annie wasnt here though. Christa told me she was sick.

“Hey guys” Christa smiled and waved at Sasha and Mikasa.

“Hello”Sasha spoke. Mikasa just smiled at us. I didnt say anything.

“What do you guys want to do first? Your guys want to shop around for a bit?”Mikasa asked. Sasha and Christa nodded. Christa gabbed my hand as they started walking into a random store.

After about and hour of shopping Christa got an idea.

“Why dont we split up? Ill go with Mikasa. Ymir and Sasha can go together” She smiled. Mikasa nodded. I groaned a little too loud and sasha heard me. She frowned. Mikasa and Christa then walked away.

“What do you want to do?” She asked me. I shrugged. We just started walking around.

We walked for about ten minutes.

“I need to go to the bathroom. Ill be right back” I sadi before walking into the washrooms. I felt my annoyance get higher and my patience lower. Why did Christa have to leave me. Usually I would pop a pill or take a smoke but I got nothing. Fuck. I then noticed a lady in the bathroom smoking a cigarette. The smell of canabis filled my brain. I felt my brain go crazy. I quickly got out of their before I do anything stupid.

I looked around for sasha. I noticed two guys really close to her. I walked over their.

“You know these people” I asked her. She shook her head. She looked scared.

“Come on girl. Let me take you on a date” A guy smiled putting his hand on her arm. I pushed him away from her.

“Whats your problem!” The other guy yelled.

“Keep your hands off her!” I yelled back. The one dude walked up to me.

“Ill do what I want!” The man spat before laying a punch on my jaw. I felt my lip bleed a little bit. 

“Dont mess with us!”The other dude yelled. The guy tried punching me but this time I caught his fist and laid a punch to his head then a kick to his stomach. He fell to the ground. The other guy brought his fist up ready to fight.

“You bitch” He said before taking a few swings at me. I dodged the first two but he landed a punch on the third try.

“Donr call me a bitch you little peice of shit” I grumbled. I landed a punch on his. Then another. And another. He backed up.

“Alright alright! Ill go” He said dragging his friend away. I looked back at Sasha.

“Are you alright” I asked her. She just hugged me.

“Can you get off me” I growled. She quickly stopped.

“Thank you so much Ymir. That was so nice of you. How do I repay you” She smiled.

“Dont worry about it” I groaned.

We finally met back up with Mikasa and Christa. Christa was holding five bags. She looked tired.

“Did you buy the whole store” I joked. Crista groaned.

“My feet hurt so much. I walked around so much” She pouted. I sighed. I grabbed the bags from her hand then crouched down.

“Hop on” I said. Christa then hopped onto my back.

“Can we head home now” Christa asked. I nodded. I then walked away with Christa on my back. It was like carrying a ragdoll. I felt Christa lay her head on my shoulder.

“I love you so much Ymir” She spoke softly. I smiled brightly.

"I love you too christa" I said back.
