The School Life {Ereri fanfic}

Chapter 10: Twisted Minds

Levi P.O.V.
I wanted to kill him. Honestly, I probably would have but I was done scaring off Eren. I thought Jean would be done by now but this? This was just ridiculous. I was lucky I had his phone by accident or else Eren would have had a lot to deal with, and I can't see him go through that.
The poor kid had probably gone through much more than I could have ever imagined and I was part of that. I blame myself partly, or maybe rather fully. I know he forgives me, I mean, I took the kids virginity for Christ's sake. But getting off that topic... Jean has to be stopped.
I raced to school today, needing to get there before Eren so I could talk to him about Jean. I wanted to be the first one to speak. What a good-morning-message this will be. I would have told him last night but it was way too late and well, I had his phone. But still, way too late to wake him up. And um, I may or may not have ran out of minutes on my phone anyways.
I see a brown mop of hair and quickly sprint over to him, looking up briskly. I see his green eyes light up when he bends his head down softly and slowly.
"Levi! I-"
"Eren, come with me. We need to talk in the bathroom."
"What are we doing in the bathroom?"
"Talking."
"Ooo kinky!"
"Eren this is serious." I grab his hand, yanking him all the way to the bathroom. I open the door and shove him inside but I accidentally push Eren into someone from my hurried action.
Jean.
Eren flinches at the sight of him and looks at me, silently begging to leave. I nod to him and he bolts before I could blink.
"What do you want Levi?"
"What do I want? What are you doing to my Eren?" It was spurt of the moment okay?
"Hey it's all fun in games! Plus, he's hot!" Jean leaves before I could mess his horse face up but I knew Eren was still outside the door anyways.
"Hey Eren can it be my turn to talk to you?" Jean bumps his shoulder against mine as he pushed over to him.
Eren looks up to me and now it's his time to nod, "I can deal with this."
I kiss Eren on the cheek and I go to class as the bell rings, worrying with every step.

Eren P.O.V.
"Do you think he's buying it babe?"
"D-don't call me that...and I don't know. I love him why are you making me do this?"
"Because I'll do worse to you than just send those pictures out. I love you."
"We both know you won't send those pictures. And I hate you as much as I don't love you."
"Uh, what?"
With that, I walk out and head to my class.

A week passed and almost nothing changed. Well, except my guilt. I knew Jean had written those messages, and at the time, I just wanted to get revenge on Levi. He did all those things to me, I didn't know what his real intentions were. Am I really this bad? Did I stoop to a lower level than Jean? I deserve everything that's coming to me.
I did try to stop Jean, I really did. Of course he didn't listen. This whole domino effect was brought on by me. It started when I saw Levi and Jean, the day Levi had came over. I didn't know at first. It was my fault. Jean used my rage against me. I payed John to pretend to blackmail me into dating him so Levi would get hurt when he saw him and I together. But now it's not just Jean hurting Levi, it's me as well.
I sat up on my couch after laying down for so long thinking about my mistakes. I'm going to hurt him, Hell, I already probably have at this point...and he doesn't even know it. I looked across the hall and saw the mirror hanging on the wall. I saw my eyes, bloodshot and darkened. My eyes furrowed and I clenched my fists.
This was who I hated the most, this was who I could never trust, and this was who could never be allowed to love again. Levi could never know. He could never know the torment I was going through.
I jumped up from the couch, and in a fit of rage, extended my arm almost like a battering ram, and smashed my fist against the mirror. It unhinged from the nail it had peacefully rested upon only moments before and was now on the floor, broken, in diffused pieces. Much like me.
I fell to the ground with my knuckles stinging and blood oozing between my fingers. I stared at the shards as I saw various reflections of my eyes staring back at me, and I stopped for a few moments. Then, my rage spurted again and I punched the larger pieces of the broken glass until there were only little parcels left, splattered with my own blood.
In that moment, was when I officially broke. That moment where I grabbed the phone, mistakingly painting it red, and telling Levi to come over so I could tell the truth.
Maybe if he had never known, it would have hurt him even more.

Levi P.O.V.
Eren called me on Friday night. I couldn't understand much of what he was saying, but I knew that couldn't have ever been a good thing. I hung up the phone and raced to Eren's house.
When I got there, I knocked on the door once, then again with more urgency. I started banging on the door when there was no answer. I stopped being polite and swung the door open. I stepped inside and the first thing I see is glass all over the floor. As I get closer, I start seeing red. My heart beats harder as I look around the room. Eren was nowhere.
"Eren?!" I screamed, I looked throughout the house for what seemed like forever. Once I concluded he wasn't vacant, I really knew something was off.
I know I had to call around, and Mikasa seemed like the best person to ask, although we were never on good terms. I just wanted my love back.
"Mikasa, I can't find Eren."
"Your boyfriend is probably at home." There was a sense of clear agitation in her voice.
"No, I'm here, there's blood and-" The line went dead. Mikasa obviously got the hint.

"Levi, where the fuck is he?!" Mikasa kicked the shards of glass as her face went deathly pale.
"I don't know but we should call the cops, we should've done that awhile ago."
"We?" You were here first Levi you need to take responsibility."
"Responsibility? Eren isn't a child anymore, Mikasa. You need to let him deal with his own prob-."
"And look where that got him." She pointed to the pool of dried blood.
"We don't even know if that's his."
"We can't call the police then. My brother's temper is horrible. He could have hurt someone."
"Well then it would have been a good reason. We don't know for sure."
"Exactly. That's why we can't call them."
"Then how do you suppose we find him, 'Oh Holy Smartass One'?"
"Just follow me."

Eren, I don't know where you are, or what happened, but I love you. Stay strong. I'm coming for you.
"And me too!"
"Shut the fuck up Mikasa I'm having a moment."
