A New Beginning (ErenxMikasa) Book 1 (Completed)

Chapter 48 - Choosing

Erens POV

I go to my friends at their table and I realize the dance is almost over, it's been an absolute wreck if I don't say so myself. I lay my head down on the table and try being left alone but my friends don't think that's a good idea.
"Eren why are you so upset? Shouldn't you be having a blast?"
"No not really, I've been in distress."
They're all confused but Armins not, he has a general idea of what I'm talking about. He pulls me out of my chair and talks to me in private.
"Hey man you alright?"
"I'm freaking out man, I don't know who i like anymore and it's getting to me."
"Yeah we all saw you dancing with Krista and I'm guessing you still have feelings for Mikasa so what are you gonna do?"
"No clue man....no clue."
"Well, have you talked to her at all?"
"Who Krista? Yeah we've talked basically this entire dance."
"No dodo Mikasa."
"Oh....no I haven't, she's been with Jean like the whole time so I haven't gotten around to it."
"Not much time left so you might want to do that now."
I look over at the raven haired girl who's just standing there sipping her drink and talking to Sasha. I should, I absolutely should.

I walk over to them and act awkward as ever.
"Umm hey Sasha, you mind if I borrow Mikasa real quick?"
"By all means."
She replies back and walks away from the two of us, Mikasa breaks the silence and starts the conversation.
"Hey"
"Hey Mikasa you look...gorgeous."
She hides the blush with her scarf and doesn't reply back or makes eye contact. I see Jean across the room staring us down and I also notice Krista making eye contact to us.
"Care to uhh dance?"
"It's not even a slow song yet."
"Okay well wait real quick."
After the song is up I tell the DJ to play this song for me. He complies and when the music starts a lot of people start to slow dance.
(Insert Song)
I hold my hand out to Mikasa and she takes it as we walk onto the dance floor, she has her hands around my neck and mine around her waist and it just feels right. I decide to break the silence with a sincere apology.
"I'm so sorry for everything."
She looks up at me with teary eyes.
"No I'm sorry, I took you for granted all this time and now that I've lost you, you found someone else."
She says while looking over to Krista, I put my hand around her cheek and lightly turn her face towards me.
"Don't think like that, and besides you have Jean right?"
"Were not dating for the hundredth time already, I thought about it but at the end of the day it all comes down to you."
"You don't think the same thing goes for me as well?"
Her eyes wide and I put both my hands around face and go in for a kiss, it was absolutely magical. I haven't done that in so long, when we pull apart she starts getting tears in her eyes and I wipe them away.
"Nothing that happens could make me ever stop loving you Mikasa, you're the one for me."
"I love you way more then you think, I've been an emotional wreck for the past few weeks."
I see Mikasa looking at our friends and then she just hides her face under her scarf. I look over at them and they're all just shouting and cheering us on, all except for Jean and Krista. Damnit Krista I was completely inconsiderate of her feelings. When the song ends I tell Mikasa that I need to chat with Krista for a minute , she's okay with it and she does the same to Jean. I pull Krista aside and apologize for leading her on.
"Krista I'm so sor-"
"Don't apologize, I've always saw it. No matter how hard I tried to over look it I could just see that you weren't whole without her."
"I lead you on...."
"You did but you can't help who you love. Go to your girl Jaeger."
Krista says with a smile and kisses me on the cheek, I can't help but hug her and thank her for understanding. I go back to Mikasa and I see Jean passing around pissed off. He then looks at me with so much anger.
"Eren, you ruin everything! Why can't you just leave her alone huh?"
"Jean back down, she chose me again. Deal with it."
"Come on we're settling this outside now."
I've been waiting for this, everyone is telling us to stop arguing but jeans not listening and leads me outside. The ones to come outside are Marco, Mikasa, Annie, Me and Jean. Everyone is telling us to stop Marco even try's to restrain him but Jean is blowing a fuse. Annie tells me to be weary and I agree with her, I'm not heated or angry but composed. I take off my jacket and fold up my sleeves while Jean continues his rant.
"You just come back and destroy everything. I'm kicking your ass now."
"Think about what you're doing Jean, this was a goodnight lets keep it that way."
"No you're dead."
He makes his way over to me and I'm getting ready to fight until a car pulls up. It's a black Dodge Challenger  and you wouldn't guess who comes out of the car, the one and only Zeke.

He walks out of the car with the same gun as what Levi uses and has 3 other goons with him. He has the gun pointed at me and starts laughing.
"Oh my god this is like the best thing that could have happened. I thought I would of had to raid the whole damn gymnasium for this girl but nope she's right here with Mr.Jaeger isn't that wonderful."
I start looking at his men and try to see if they have any weapons on them, it doesn't seem like they do. I look at Annie and she's thinking the same thing, we could take them if we just get the gun away from Zeke. This could end right now.
"Been a while Eren, I thought you might of died along time ago. Then I realized you just quit, but guess what, I didn't. Get the girl."
The men make their way to Mikasa and I try stopping them but Zeke steadily aims the gun at me.
"Any moves and you're dead, got it?"
They get a grip on Mikasa and pull her to the car, she struggles to do so and they force her into the car. Zeke turns around to go back into the car then Marco makes a move since he's the closest one to them. He almost makes it to Zeke but he turns around a fired his gun three times in Marcos chest.....all of us are stunned and can't move a muscle....Marco just...he just got shot...Then I hear the doors behind us open and it's Hange.
"Hey what was all that nois-"
Then another bang goes off and Hange falls to the floor, Zeke and his goons run into their car and flee the scene with Mikasa. I...I got to move... MOVE DAMNIT.
