Pathway [Eremin AU]

Chapter Fourteen//Armin

(A/N: Im so sorry guys... School was REALLY busy last week and I've been REALLY REALLY sick the past few days. (Pretty much since last Friday.) I couldn't really breath or move a lot, so I couldn't type any up on my phone. And I tried on my moms computer, but it wouldn't save and I lost what I typed up. BUT, I'm going to Indiana, so I have a little bit of time to type some up. I will be doing some with my cousins and grandparents, so I'll be busy. My parents cont stop me from doing any thing, so I'll be doing a lot. (They aren't going with me.)
I'm sorry that was so long... Let just get to the chapter... Sorry.

I wake up to the sound of laughing and talking. I rub my eyes and sit-up, my back popping in the process. I feel my mouth is dry and look around. I find my mom sitting in a chair.
  "Morning Midget," She says. I slump as I sit back.
  "Who are you talking to?" I ask as I look up at Eren, which is still asleep.
  "Your father. He's on his way here," She says. Eren looks younger when he's asleep, I think to myself. I sigh and look back at my mom.
  "Mister Bisexual need to stop starring," My mom chuckles.
  "I knew I shouldn't have told you," I say and shake my head. I try and look for my phone, but I remember that Eren threw it out his window.
  "Oh, crap, I forgot about school," I say.
  "I notified the school you would be out. And the teachers aren't giving you extra homework. They know what's going on. They're splitting Carla and Eren," She says.
"Wait, what?!" I say, raising my voice a little.
"Yeah, but it's not for forever! It's only for two months, they won't let them live under the same roof for a while. They're also arresting Mister Jeager for drunk driving and abuse. We're going to help Eren move some stuff into the club room after he's released. We're keeping Carla at our house while she recovers," My mom says and smiles.
"Okay. When will they be let out?" I ask.
"Eren maybe tomorrow, but Carla will next Monday. We'll help her move in before prom on Tuesday. And I bet Eren may go with you if you want. Oh, and I forgot to tell you. The club is doing a gig at the prom. They got permission from the principal," She says.
"Wait... what? Me and Eren aren't going to be in that, right?" I ask.
"I don't know. You need to tell Jean or Marco or someone about all of this," She says.
"I will. You have Miss Zoë's number, right?"
"Yeah. Here."
I grab her phone and press on Hanjis number. I put the phone to my head and after a few rings she picks up.
"Yes, Misses Arlert?"
"It's Armin."
"Oh, hello little Arlert. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure?"
"Why haven't you, Eren, or Carla been at practice?"
"Um, We'll explain when we get back. You didn't order me and Eren outfits, right?"
"That's for you to figure out. When will you guys be back?"
"Tomorrow afternoon I think. Maybe Sunday. I don't know. Oh, and I haven't missed much at school, right?"
"No. I'm not giving you extra work. I partly know what's going on. But I'm not going to push the topic."
"Okay, thanks. Um, I'm going to check up on the club today after school ends. Oh, wait, you're in class, aren't you?"
"It's third period, and everyone is just talking in the classroom, so don't worry about it. I'd pick up for you guys any day during class. But why do you have your moms phone?"
"I'll explain later. I'm gonna go. I'll drop by the club later. Bye."
"Alright Midget. Bye."
I sigh and hang up and hand my moms phone back.
"Oh, and your grounded from using a calculator at home for the rest of the year. I seen your phone," My mom says.
"Oh my God. That was NOT my fault. Eren threw it," I say and sit-up straight. I hear groaning and I look up at Eren. He rubs his eye and yawns.
"Morning drunkie," I chuckle.
"Wait, what?" He says with a ruff morning voice. I grab his water and hand it to him. He takes a drink then puts it down on the table.
"When should dad be here?" I ask my mom.
"A few hours," She says. I nod and rest my head back on Erens bed.
"I'm going to check up on Carla. Oh, and she's doing good Eren. No reason to worry," She says and walks out. Eren just sighs and looks down at me. I look up at him and I feel him like my head.
"Huh?" I ask and rub my head where he poked.
"Your hair is a mess," He chuckles and smiles.
"Like you have much room to talk," I say. He shrugs and throws his blanket off him. He swings his legs over the bed and stands up.
"Hey, unzip this," Be says and walks over to me with his IV stand with him. My face flushes.
"Uh, why?" I ask.
"Because it's itchy and I can't reach the zipper," He shrugs, "Just do down half way." I sigh and unzip it down to his lower back.
"Thanks."
He then walks around the room, taking in his surroundings. I notice all of his tattoos that he doesn't usually show and I smile with a slight blush.
"Would you yell at me if I took this off?" He asks.
"Yeah," I say and stand up.
"Hello," I hear a nurse say as she knocks on the door way.
"Eren, can you eat right now, or do you feel nauseous?" She asks and carries in a tray. It has a cup of yellow Jello and a small bowl of broccoli on it with a small can of Sprite.
"I can eat. I'm pretty hungry," He says and sits in a chair. He pulls off the gown from his upper half and folds it down. He plays with his wrist band and she walks over towards him.
"I'm surprised you're up and moving right now. It's good you are though," She smiles and I see a slight blush on her face from looking at Eren.
"Here."
She walks to a closet after setting down his food.
"I need to take your blood pressure and I need to check your eye," She says and walks back over to him. She hasn't even looked at me once and is ignoring me. I feel frustrated and a little irritated. She wraps the blood pressure wrap around his upper arm where a bone shaped tattoo is and places her stethoscope on his inner arm below his bicep. She finished that then sets it aside. Eren reaches from his Sprite and opens it with one hand.
"This might hurt," She says and starts to peal the piece covering Erens eye, off.
"Hey, Armin, can you feed me while she does this? I don't want to move too much," He says and a blush comes to my cheeks again.
"S-sure," I say and walk over to him. I sit in a seat next to the table his food was set on and grab the fork.
"Open," I say and get a piece of broccoli on the fork. He opens and I put the fork in his mouth. He takes the bronco for as I pull the fork away.
"Thanks," He mumbles as the nurse looks at his eye. It's now a pale green and blue and looks slightly blood shot. A few stitches are around it and it doesn't look super swollen, which is good.
"Okay. A doctor will be in here soon to help you with that," She says and writes some stuff down on the white board on the wall. He takes the fork from me now and starts to eat faster.
"Thanks, again," He says threw a mouth full. I nod and a small smile comes across my face.
"I'm blind in this eye now," He adds.
"I can tell. I'm sorry," I say and look at his eye.
"No reason for you to be. Hey, it makes me look tough, doesn't it?" He says and smiles widely.
"Sure," I smile back.
"So how about we talk about prom next week?"

(A/N: I think I made that a good length. I know not ouch happened, but this was kind of a full till the next chapter. Prom and graduation will come in soon. I'll try to type up another chapter tonight. I want to get one more out before break is over.
Till then, bye!
