Wherever I Go

Chapter Thirty-One

Third Person POV

"You d-did what?!" Annie exclaimed through chattering teeth. Her and Bertholdt were very cold and soaking wet from their fall into the river, thanks to Eren. Reiner had to help the two out of the river and onto the shore. They were all three sitting in Reiner's vehicle, trying to get warmed up. Reiner was sitting in the drivers seat, turned around, while Annie and Bertholdt were sitting in the back.

"Yeah..." Reiner sighed, "We disobeyed Zeke."

"Why t-the hell did you d-do that?!" Annie asked. "He's going to be p-pissed!"

"W-we can't go back." Bertholdt stuttered, hugging his cold, wet frame.

"We did it for you, duh." Reiner answered. "We weren't going to leave you."

"Well... h-how are we going to get h-home now?" she asked another question.

Reiner and Bertholdt just sighed and exchanged glances, remaining quiet.

"So... n-now we don't have a mission, we don't have a h-house, and we don't know how to get back to our hometown. Great."

The two boys were still silent, unsure of what to say. She was right. They wouldn't be let back into their apartments for sure, Zeke was their only way home and now they had nothing to do.

The silence was interrupted by the buzzing of Reiner's phone, alerting him that he had a new text message.

"You have a text?" Annie questioned.

Reiner slowly nodded, pulling his phone out from his pants pocket. He read it out loud.

"Guess I have to do everything myself." he read off the phone screen, "From Zeke..."

"W-what do you think that means?" Bertholdt asked. The three exchanged confused glances.

"Do you think he's gonna..." Reiner trailed off, in thought.

"What?" Annie asked.

"He's gonna get Eren himself." Bertholdt responded. The three were quiet for a few moments, then Reiner spoke up.

"What should we do?" he asked, putting his cell phone away, "Should we help them?"

Bertholdt and Annie exchanged glances, then looked over at Reiner.

"I think we should." Bertholdt answered. Annie just shrugged.

"Alright then," Reiner responded, turning around in the seat to face the front, "I guess we're gonna be the good guys for once."

"We should wait a little while though, because so much happened today." Annie replied.

"Yeah... So, where should we stay tonight?" Reiner asked.

"I guess we'll have to find somewhere." Annie answered and sighed.

Reiner gave a nod. With that, he cranked the car and they drove around town, trying to find somewhere to stay for the night.
