Wherever I Go

Chapter Nine

Third person POV

"Why didn't you leave with us at the party?" Sasha asked Mikasa while they were eating lunch on Monday. They were sitting at the same table, with Connie, Armin and Eren. Mikasa hadn't talked to anyone after Friday, she had stayed home the entire weekend.

"Oh, uh... I just was waiting on Eren." she replied. She technically wasn't lying. She just wasn't ready to explain the bodyguard situation to everyone yet.

"Oh, okay." Sasha replied, then took a sip of her milk, "That party was lame."

"Yeah." Connie agreed, "The food there made me sick!"

"Next weekend, we should do something more fun," Sasha suggested. Connie nodded in agreement.

"I'm glad spring break is coming soon." Eren commented, playing with his leftover food.

"Me too." Sasha agreed, eyeing Eren's food.

"Want it?" he sighed, pushing his tray towards her.

"Thanks!" she thanked him, then began eating what Eren left. After lunch, the rest of the day carried out and it was time to leave. After the bell rung, students gathered their belongings and we're leaving.

Eren and Mikasa met each other at his car, like they have been. On the way home, Eren decided to speak.

"You've been quiet lately..." he said, keeping his eyes on the road. Mikasa just shrugged, looking out the passenger seat window as blurry scenery flashed. It was still wet outside from where it must have rained last night.

Mikasa's POV

Feeling my phone vibrate in my jacket pocket, I pulled it out. I had a text message, so I slid it open and then opened it, reading it.

"Ugh..." I groaned after I finished reading the text.

"What's wrong?" Eren asked.

"Levi wont be home until tonight..." I sighed, typing my response and hitting send. Then, I put my phone back in my pocket.

"Oh." he said as he turned the steering wheel, turning into the parking lot of our apartment building. We got out and headed up to our apartments.

When I got to my door, I realized I didn't have a spare key, I had left it on the counter because I didn't think Levi would be gone today. "Great..." I groaned.

"You okay?" Eren asked as he was twisting his door knob, opening the door.

"I left my key inside..." I informed him.

"Oh, well then why don't you come over to my place?" he suggested, pushing his door open and motioned for me to come inside.

"Oh, alright." I said, taking his offer. Then I walked inside, letting him close the door behind me. His place was a bit messy, but it wasn't bad. His kitchen seemed a bit empty, and he had a few games set up for his television. It also smelled like he sprayed some febreeze air freshener.

"Make yourself at home." he said, then slung his bookbag on the floor next to the door, "I don't have much to do, I'm not sure what you like to do. We could watch TV, or play the a game, or listen to music..." he trailed off.

I just shrugged, "Whatever you want do do."

"Okay then, let's play Mario Kart." he suggested. I nodded and watched as he began setting up his Wii, inserting the disk and grabbing two controllers.

"You live alone?" I asked as he handed me the controller. It didn't look like anyone else lived here.

"Yeah, basically." he answered while he started the game, "My dad's rarely around."

"Oh." I said, watching as he picked his character and car. After we got set up, we began the game.

After we finished Rainbow Road, and Eren had calmed down from how angry he was from the map, we paused the game. "Hungry?" he asked me.

"Yeah, I guess." I replied, then followed him to the kitchen.

"I don't have much, but I could cook some noodles." he informed me, turning around from the cabinets to face me.

"Is that all you have?" I asked.

"Well, I have some chips, ice cream and candy too." he answered, then added, "And soda."

"Eren... not to be rude, but that sounds unhealthy." I said, then went over and opened his fridge, which to my surprise was empty, besides a few candy bars and cans of soda.

"Well, my dad sends me money so I just grab whatever I feel at the store..." he said, playing with a bag of chips. Then I looked up and opened his cabinets, to see that it was full of packs of instant noodles and junk food.

"Eren... you don't have any proper meals..." I said, then closed the cabinet, "You shouldn't just live on junk food."

He just shrugged, "I don't really care about my health."

"Well I do." I sighed, "Come on, we're going to the store."

"But-"

"Let's go." I said and began pulling his sleeve with me towards the door. He just sighed, slipping on his sneakers as well as I slipped on my shoes.

Then, we left his apartment and started walking to the nearest convenience store.
