In Another Life- Ereri

Chapter Four.

Again, trigger warnings.

Jean's POV

Stupid bastard, Jaeger, and that new little shit. Who did they think they were, and why the hell did shortie defend Eren out of nowhere? Seriously, that kid was new, and he stuck up for Jaeger? Of all people? Why? That kid was pathetic...
I shook my head and staggered over to Marco, who gave a smile. I couldn't help but smile back. This guy -- Marco Bodt -- was the guy of my dreams. Literally. Ever since I was a kid, I dreamt of this guy. Even before I met him. I don't know how it was possible, but it was happening. Every time I closed my eyes, I just feel this overwhelming feeling of sadness. Marco, being the reason, always showed up; he had wings. One was black, while the other was white. I usually ignored that, until I saw the very same wings on some mythology book when I was around the age of 14. The symbol dated back to when the Titans were supposed to roam the earth, and they were supposedly called The Wings of Freedom. Why I was dreaming of those wings were confusing to me, but it always was there.

But anyways, in the dream, Marco is always trying to reach out to me, and I'm always trying to get to him, but never once have we been able to get to each other. After trying, the scene would always change, and I would be standing alone, the sun rising in the distance, and the air around me was always at a standstill, along with every song. I would always raise the sword that was in my hand and place it to my chest. The words I spoke is what confused me the most. I was in love with Marco in the dream.. Every night I would say: 'You left me too soon, Marco. You told me I was weak, and you were right.. But the thing is, I'm even weaker without you. I'm sorry, but I need to see you again' and then, before I killed myself, I'd wake up. That is, until I actually met Marco. The entire dream changed. Well, sort of.
~Flashback of le dream~

"Marco, why? Why did you have to go and leave me so soon? You were my best friend; you were my boyfriend. We were supposed to see the ocean together, don't you remember?' I dropped to my knees, tears streaming down my cheeks as I stared at the ground, the calm wind picking up. All I could hear were the screams and cries of those around me, then it went quiet. A bright light, almost brighter than the sun appeared, causing me to squeeze my eyes shut. What was happening to me?
A soft voice caused me to open my eyes.

'Jean, I'm sorry.. Do not cry such tears over me," the voice spoke, causing a chill to run down my back. Marco...
