Chapter 15: Parents

"Already?!" Sasha shouted. In front of her was colorful invitation that read 'Prom' which was highlighted in big bold letters.

The gang crowded around her; all of them looking at the crinkled sheet which laid in Sashas' hands. Some of them just read it, but the majority of them were gaping at the paper as if it was some god.

They weren't amazed at the prom, but they were amazed on how time flew so fast. It seemed like yesterday when they saw Mikasa at the Pizza Hut, and quickly became friends with her during the school year.

Realization suddenly hit them all that this year was their last year of high school. Next year, most of them would be separated into different collages, some not even going, but all of them will create another group of friends and probably forget about their high school posse they formed.

The whole school was now buzzing about prom. The girls already going shopping for dresses and shoes, while the boys where either asking out their prom dates, or trembling about asking them; hoping not to get rejected.

"Are you excited?" Eren asked, nudging Mikasa in the arm. Mikasa nodded. It had been a while since their last meet up. Even though Mikasa didn't show it, she really appreciated Erens' company.

Ever since the death of her parents she didn't really have a interest in anyone, she shut herself out from the world and found anyone besides her brother, dangerous. She didn't trust anyone, not even herself. But when she met Eren, it felt as if a spark lit up in her; a spark that hadn't lit up since her parents were alive.

She was actually pretty glad no one mentioned her parents. Especially happy about Eren not saying anything. No one knew except Levi, and she wanted to keep it that way, but she knew that couldn't happen and someone would eventually ask, unfortunately someone did.

"Connie why weren't you at school yesterday?"

Sasha asked, stuffing her mouth with some type of bread.
"My parents were running errands, and I had to come with."

"How does that affect you?"

"Because the errands were out of town, and they wouldn't be able to pick me up because it was that far."

"Couldn't you just walk-"

"My house is 45 minutes away"

Sasha's face dropped. "Really?"
Connie nodded. "Parents are so annoying"
The rest nodded their head in agreement. Everyone besides Mikasa, Armin, and Christa nodded hands.

"You didn't even get annoyed with them once?"

Mikasa shook her head. That was a lie. She would always constantly fight with her parents and she regrets all of it now. She will constantly look back and see how bad of a daughter she was. Besides wishing for her parents to be alive again, she also wishes that she could somehow make up for the damage she caused on her poor mother's heart. And how her mother and father died with that damage still in their heart.

"I'd love to meet your parents they seem nice, Mikasa"

"Yeah, since you don't fight with them, they must seem chill.."

Those words struck Mikasa. They didn't know, so she couldn't blame them. It wasn't that it was mean cause it wasn't, but it just made her uncomfortable talking about her parents.

"I think we should schedule a meeting to meet Mikasas' parents" Christa suggested. The others nodded.

"It wouldn't be fair that everyone met everyone's parents except her!"

Mikasa swallowed hard. It was indeed true, that the gang had met almost all of theirs parents. All except Mikasa, Annie, and Reiner.

The reason most of them met each other's parents were because the parents wanted to learn who their children were hanging around.

Also because if one of them were to say to their parents that they were going out with so-and-so, their parents wouldn't bomb them with questions about that person since they had previously met them.

Eren also hadn't met her parents, so he had a glint of eagerness in his eyes.

"I think we should meet Annie's or Reiner's parents first." Mikasa said.

"Mine are out of town."

"So are mine."

Darn it.

"Come on Mikasa." Sasha whined.

"They can't be that bad."

"How about this Saturday we can meet up?"

"Your parents are probably nice."

There was too much commotion going on. As most of the gang were bombing her with questions.

"Why do you guys want to know so much? They're a faint memory, they're dead." Mikasa snapped hitting her hands on the table.

Everyone's faced dropped.

Mikasa ran out of the room.

"Oi! Mikasa wait!"

                                         - - -

"Fuckin, shit!"

"I knew I shouldn't have asked about her parents!"

"You think she is mad at us?"

"No, but we probably gave back her memories of her parents."

"Fuck"

The gang was all messed up now, it had been several hours since Mikasa ran away. She didn't run away to the bathroom-no- she literally ran out of the school.

It's pretty surprising but, almost everyone was freaking out. Well Eren was on the verge of tears, and had called her several times-no- almost 200 times.

Annie was normal but was slightly concerned, bert was sweating, Reiner was assuring everyone we were fine, Armin tried thinking of were she would be, Sasha was eating her sadness away, and Connie was in the bathroom.

Jean was freaking out claiming that he is lonely and Marco was comforting him.

There was a slight emptiness in everyone's heart, because Mikasa was like the 'mom' of the group. And her presence was gone, vanished.

Then the sadness of everyone went away quickly as the ringing sound of a phone rang in everyone's ears. The caller ID had the familiar name.

Mikasa
