Intoxicated (ereri)

Chapter 6-Fuck

"Here let me give you gas money for coming all this way here-"

"Eren put that money away because I am not taking it." I interrupted him while putting my hand up in a stop like motion.

"Please I feel bad for you always driving me places all the time- have you seen the gas prices these days?! Oh, wait of course you have you have a car... and when people have cars they drive, you just drove me to my house...Which means you buy gas and pay for it-" he didn't get to finish again.

"Eren it's okay I can afford gas, and driving you home isn't bothersome" I chuckle as I ruffle his hair. Which causes him to smile a bit, he then turns and opens his car door to get out. I turn trying to do the same thing but an arm grabs me before I could do so. I turn to find myself looking at Eren's hand holding my arm, with a great deal of pressure. I look up to him to see him scared but with pleading eyes.

"Eren what's wrong?" I ask as I place my free left hand on his that is gripping my arm.

"Oh uh, nothing I'm sorry.... Hey, Levi is it alright if you can come tomorrow, please. I-i mean I'm really tired from the class I had today and I want to take a nap." he said as he let go of me and stared at down at his lap.

"Eren you just gave me an expression that showed terror you can't just brush that off. What's wrong you can tell me anything" I state as I place my hand on his shoulder?

"Nothing it's- I'm tired, I just need a nap. Please, Levi you can come back tomorrow afternoon, please" he pleads as he grabs my hand that was previously on his shoulder with both his hands.

"Eren I don't understand why-" I was interrupted

"Levi please," he said letting go of my hand and gripping his hoodie sleeve which makes him resemble a child asking for candy or a toy. But the difference is he is asking me to go with a frightened look on his face.

"Alright I'll come back tomorrow and you will tell me everything okay? I'm worried about you Eren, but if I'm leaving at this second at least tell me who did this right now and tell me the rest tomorrow," I say as I take hold of his chin and tilt his head so I have a better look at his bruised face.

"Thank you I appreciate it Levi. But really this isn't anything-" he tried to say as he gently removed his face from my grasp.

"Eren," I say deeply.

"okay it was... some college kids at my university," he says looking away from me.

"I want you to say that again but looking at me and into my eyes" I command. He then turns with a worried face, he hesitates but then repeats it.

"It was some c-college kids" he stutters which automatically tells me that he's lying. That and his ears just turn 5 shades of a darker red.

"I almost want to believe you eren.. But since you're in a bad shape right now, I'll do as you say and I will come tomorrow. But I expect the truth and only the truth." I explain.

"....okay, thank you Levi," he said trying to give a smile but yet not succeeding and still looking like a terribly scared child. He opens the passenger's door and gets out. I then roll the window down as the car door shuts.

"Eren I'm not sure what has got you like this but... be careful if anything happens or is going to happen call or contact me immediately," I say gripping the steering wheel tightly.

"I will... goodnight" he replied as he turns and walks to the apartment complex. Once he got to the door he turns to me watching and waiting. I assume he is waiting for me to leave which made me even more curious on my he wants me to leave so badly. But I turn on my car nonetheless and go in reverse and drive towards the exit of the parking lot. I look in the rearview mirror to see him hesitantly enter. Which confuses me even fucking more but I leave anyways.

Now I'm on the road re-thinking everything because I can't just leave my angle like that without knowing what is causing him to act that way. So now I'm in my car re-thinking everything try to get even a little piece or clue to why my angel is acting this way.

let's see... He was fine until he was trying to get up and outside the car... then he grabs me trying to keep me in and stay in the car... he was obviously scared so he must've remembered or saw something outside that might of frighten him. Then he was basically begging me to leave and lied about the college kids hurting him... also he was hesitant in the lobby of his apartment like if he didn't want to go in?...goddamit.

"Oh my god.." I say as I facepalmed. How could I not know the second he got scared, I mean this is elementary compared to things I've had to investigate. There must be something or someone in his house that is making him like this. I make an illegal u-turn as I speed back to his apartment, trying to get there before anything could happen to my darling.

"Wait.." I let out to myself as I turn my head real quick to look at the back seat, and as I thought Eren had forgotten his backpack once again. Which I could use an excuse for coming back if there was actually nothing wrong and I was mistaken. But yet this is the first and only time where I wish I was inaccurate with my suspicions.

As I'm driving back I can feel chills going down my spine as I think about what could be happening to my precious brat. Who knows what could be happening in his apartment right now? I guess there is also the chance of nothing being wrong. But in reality, there is a very slim chance of that, which scares the shit outta me. My baby boy could be getting hurt or something, he probably could be crying and feeling so helpless. I can feel my anger rising up as I imagine my beautiful pearl crying on the floor with his skin covered in cuts and bruises. What if he feels so helpless in whatever situation he is in, that he turns to hurting himself or to even taking his own life? I might be overreacting. but I'm not fucking risking it, no my baby needs me.

"FUCK" I yell as I step on the gas pedal.

Why did I leave him?
