I'll be There for You

Chapter 2: Confrontation

~Christa's POV~

I watched him as he drifted off to sleep. He was so handsome and intelligent. I would notice him out every day training with his raw determination to excel in his skills. This quality of Eren's sent chills down my spine. I was making my way to the mess hall when Ymir caught up to me.

"Hey there short stuff. Where've you been all day?" She asked

I blushed a little bit. This caused her to raise her eyebrows in curiosity. I cracked a smile before I answered her.

"I was with Eren. You see, Annie put him in serious danger. I found him unconscious near the barracks with a bleeding gash on his forehead. I...I almost lost him. He's resting peacefully in my bunk right now." I said

Ymir smiled at me with excitement.

"Girl that's great! Wait, you said you almost lost him?" She asked

I rubbed the back of my head, and I began to tear up just thinking about what happened.

"He...he stopped...breathing. I was so afraid that I was going to lose him. I gave him mouth to mouth, and I was begging him not to die. Ymir, I may be afraid of entering into another relationship, but there's just something about Eren that just makes me want to fall for him." I said

Ymir looked very worried about me. We continued our conversation as we entered the mess hall. We got out food and sat down to eat. I had just finished my bowl of soup when Annie walked into the room. Ymir noticed that there was a change in my mood. I had a very cold and calculating expression on my face.

"Christa, I know what you're thinking. Don't do it." She begged

I just shot her a look that sent the message that I needed to do this. Ymir nodded and watched me as I approached Annie. The whole room fell silent when they noticed who I was going to talk to. Once I was right behind her, I tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around with that disgusting fake smile of hers.

"Oh, hey Christa. What's up?" She asked

I couldn't stand her. She almost killed Eren, and she looked perfectly fine about it. With all my strength, I backhanded Annie out of her seat. The whole room grew quiet. Annie was trying to get up when I kicked her in the face. The whole room gasped as one of her teeth skipped across the floor. She tried to stand, but I grabbed her by her hair, then kneed her in the forehead. After that I punched the back of her neck, forcing her to the ground. Once she was in a totally compromising position, I began to kick her repeatedly. Once I saw that she had many cuts, gashes, bruises, and was sufficiently bleeding, I stopped my onslaught. She sat up, panting and covered in blood, staring at me.

"What the hell was that all about?" She asked

I showed her the middle finger.

"That was for Eren." I said

After that I left the mess hall, and went back to check on Eren. He was fast asleep, and it was time for lights out. I put on my pajamas, and slipped into bed next to him. I hoped that he wouldn't mind. I found that he was so warm, and had very finely toned muscles. I soon fell quickly asleep. I couldn't wait until morning.
