It has been almost a week since Eren's disappearance. All of his stuff was left where it belonged, assuming that he would come back to retrieve it, you didn't move anything since it would probably get lost. Classes with Connie were still going, tutoring sessions with Eren were not completed since he wasn't in his dorm-room. Surprisingly, your grades have been good, expect for math. Eren wasn't there to teach you about it, which gave you an excuse to be bad at it.

"Y/n! Are you listening to a thing I'm saying?" Connie yelled as he shook your body, trying to make you leave your mind out of your thoughts. Startled, you wacked his hand away from you. "Sorry, I was daydreaming." You said as you placed your lips onto the straw connected to your juice box. Connie raised an eyebrow as he heard that you were daydreaming. "What? About what?" He annoyingly asked as he grew closer to you.

"None of your business." You said, darting your finger at his forehead. Connie slapped your finger away from you in annoyance "If you hate me so much, I should just kill myse--"

"Have you seen Eren around campus?" You asked Connie, finally telling him what was on your mind. Connie smiled weirdly as he raised his finger up in the air. "Nope." He said as he slowly descended his finger down. You rolled your eyes in defeat, accepting that no one has seen Eren's appearance ever since he disappeared from that one night when he was with you. "Why do you ask?" Connie questioned, waiting for your reply.

"Because, it's like he disappears out of thin air." You exclaimed, taking a sip of your drink. Connie sighed and slightly furrowed his eyebrows together as he heard your words spill out your mouth. "He never does that with me, strange." Connie muttered under his breath, but loud enough for you to hear.

You peeked your head above from your juice box as you glared over to Connie. "So why is it that he's disappearing with me?" You questioned him, as if Connie knew a thing you were saying. "Maybe he feels nervous around you or something." Connie joyfully answered, sipping onto the same juice box you were drinking from. You playfully gagged as you heard Connie say that, "As if." You sarcastically said, slightly laughing at Connie's remark.

"But, if you really are wondering where he is, you can text him from my phone." Connie said as he pulled out his phone from his pocket, sliding it towards you. You scoffed and immediately slid back the phone to Connie in disgust. "I'm not going to text him anything. If he wants to disappear, then let him." You confidently said, acting like it didn't bother you when he constantly left in the middle of nowhere. Connie gave you a knowing smile, seeing the true you behind the curtains. "C'mon, I know you care about him. The tough act doesn't work with me, you know?" Connie said in denial of your 'nonchalant' demeanor.

"It's fine, seriously." You said, trying to convince Connie that nothing was wrong. "I'm sure he'll just come back with a reason." You exclaimed as desperation flooded your tone.

CONNIE'S POV:
Y/N clearly doesn't need to know where Eren is, nor do I care that she cares about him. She's not the one for him anyways. To be fair, he's only just using her for her room since she knows how to keep her mouth shut about stuff. Y/N barely knows the man, and would drop to her knees and weep if she found out about what Eren lingers himself in. Just keep the cool act on and don't spread out information, I thought to myself.

"Anyways, I have some things to help out with my dad. I'll see you around." You said as you got up from your seat, and swung your backpack around your shoulders. You turned your head to face Y/N, giving her a warm smile as you turned back into your resting face when you turned your head towards the door, swinging it open.

Lighting up my cigarette that I occasionally have once in a while, a buzz alerted from my phone. I slid my hands into the pockets of my sweatpants, and laid my eyes on who texted me.

jaeger: shiganshina blvd, now.

Scoff. Jaeger only ever turns to me when he's in some sort of danger, as if the world revolves around him. What's with this bloodline and their obsession with sex, money, and feelings? Unfortunately, I have to go anyways. I like seeing my head attached to my neck.

I sprinted through the sidewalks of the streets, my feet scrapping the pavement in a determined and hungry manner. Although Shiganshina was close by to campus, running was my only option as it seemed like an emergency. My pace was so fast that it drew curious glances from passersby, which only made my adrenaline rush faster, like a rollercoaster track.

Police sirens were blaring in the distance somewhere around the location he sent me, but that didn't stop me. Their little warning gave me a little more determination as I passed through people in an alarming pace. It was too late to stop now, his distinct blonde hair and hipster glasses stood out like a beacon from afar, and I could see him waiting for me, on the ground bleeding. "C'mon, c'mon." I muttered under my breath, pushing myself to run faster even if it meant my legs were shaking afterwards.

As I grew closer, Zeke suddenly got up and limped towards me due to his fatal open wounds. In shock, I sprinted like my life depended on it. Tears ran down my eyes as I pushed through anyone and anything that got into my path. I needed to get to him, or else it was too late. Pushing decorative plants that were outside of restaurants, throwing chairs into the streets, pushing couple's ice creams onto the floor, nothing could stop me now. Just as I was getting close to him, the world felt slow. My vision was blurring, my legs suddenly forgot how to work, and I felt a warm oozing sensation coming out of my head. Without a warning, My body was falling straight down, landing face first onto the ground. Lights were out, but it was daytime.
