My Heart's Music

Chapter 8

Erwin drove us to our house, Mikasa called her boss in the car and quit her job, we got to our house fairly quickly and we went inside.

I went to my room, took out my suitcase it wasn't that big but I didn't have that much clothes so I packed my clothes after folding them then I went to the bathroom, grabbed my hygiene supplies, went back to my room and put them in the suitcase. I closed that suitcase since it was full then I grabbed my bag and put some notebooks inside with a pencil case, most of them were my sketchbooks while others were blank notebooks and about 2-3 were my song writing notebooks. I went downstairs where I saw Erwin patiently waiting for us while sitting on the couch, I went to the dinning room where I saw Corporal finishing his food then drink some water, I grabbed the water bowl after he was done and emptied it then grabbed the other bowl and went upstairs as Corporal followed me, I put the bowls in my now empty backpack, I also put his treats inside my backpack and his food that I grabbed from downstairs, I grabbed his ball and rope and put them in the bag where my notebooks are then I grabbed his shampoo from the bathroom and put it next to the toys. I put three pairs of shoes better say sneakers in three different plastic bags and put them in the bag with the notebooks, I actually grabbed one of my notebooks out before I zipped the bag up, I grabbed a pencil and put it between my teeth then I carried my suitcase and bag downstairs with my backpack over my shoulder and notebook on the suitcase.

I was the firs to be done so I just went and sat next to Erwin with the notebook and pencil in hand, Erwin looked at the things I brought down "You don't have a lot of stuff I see" he said "Um...yeah" I opened my notebook which had some songs written inside it. "Armin might have less with the addition of a bag for Trinity's stuff" I said while flipping through pages and reading my old songs "What's that?" he asked as he looked at the notebook in my hands "Some old songs I wrote" I said "Oh that reminds me" I looked up at Erwin "Can I bring my guitar too?" I asked "Sure" he said as he nodded "Great!" I jumped off the couch left the notebook there and went upstairs for my guitar. I got back a minute or 2 after, I put the guitar next to my things as I saw Erwin reading some of the songs in my notebook, I went back to the couch and sat down "Um..can I have my notebook back?" I asked, he handed it to me "Yeah, sorry I just wanted to see what else you wrote" he said "It's fine" I said as I got to an empty page "When did you start writing songs?" Erwin asked "About 4-5 years after my mom died then I stopped after I didn't have any more inspiration" I said "Alright" he said and went quiet after that.

I wrote some lyrics down silently as Armin showed up with 2 bags and put them next to my stuff then he sat on Erwin's lap because he pulled him on his lap, Armin was blushing. I looked at them and stopped writing the current song I was writing and flipped a page to start a new one inspired by them. A few minutes I was done and went back to the song I was writing before.

A few more minutes later Mikasa came with 2 bags and put them next to the rest of our stuff, I finished writing the song and started to put a tune to it with my guitar before she came out. Mikasa looked at me as I sang small parts of the song and wrote down the cords for it "Eren? Are you writing a new song?" she asked making my attention shot to her "Oh um...yes I was thinking to sing one more song to mom before we go" I said "You want to visit her?" she asked and I nodded "Do you want us to come with you?" she asked "If you want to" I said as I continued adding the last few cords to the song.

After I finished we got our stuff in Erwin's car except for my guitar and the notebook. I went to the garage with my keys, I took a breath in before walking in, I looked at my beauty, I went to her and glided my fingers over her with my guitar on my back "Haven't rode you in a while" I said. "Eren?!" I heard Mikasa call "In the garage!" I called back to her, she came and looked at me "So a visit before we go?" she asked softly and I nodded. I put the notebook in the compartment in the back "Do you want to come with or is it too hard for you still after all these years?" I asked, Mikasa couldn't handle losing her parents 2 times, she broke down after about 2-3 years after our mom died so she stopped visiting her grave unlike me, she looked down "I'm guessing no then" I said "Tell her hi for me" she said "I will" I said and pushed my motorcycle out of the garage.
