Hello & Goodbye (ereri)

Chapter Fifteen

~Levi's POV~

It seemed as if all my senses were numbed from my surroundings. As the seconds went on, my hearing became more dazed from the deafening music. The beams of light streaming through the crowds was already putting enough strain on my eyes. 

That anxious feeling continued to bubble within me. With Eren gone, I couldn't help, but worry. I know he's been to several parties in the past, but I doubt anything similar to this. My short height obviously wasn't helping me search through the maze of dancing and screaming people. 

Guilt began to flood my entire brain as a number of thoughts washed into me. He's insanely gullible which is never a good combination when you're at this type of party. I should've never dragged him here if all he was going to do was run off and get lost. Even if I was only considered his boyfriend for tonight, I had clearly made a terrible first impression as his partner. 

While I made my way through the room of sweating children, the flow of relief hit me as I found Hanji standing by the front door. With a red solo cup in her hand, she chugged the drink like it was nothing. The woman let out a few laughs before turning her head to face me. A smile instantly came to her cheeks as she stumbled towards me. 

"Levi!" She slurred with her breath reeking of alcohol, "Where've you been?"

Her hands were clinging to my shoulders to aid her in keeping her balance. I knew she was drunk obviously, and I knew for a fact she wouldn't be able to give me a valid answer if I asked her where Eren was. But it wouldn't hurt to try.

"I'm looking for Eren. Have you seen him? He went outside, but he hasn't come back yet!" I asked hoping her buzzed senses would understand me. 

"Hmm...He went home...I think," she said while aimlessly playing with my hair, "He was with Olou behind the house...then he went in some girls car...she kinda looked like you, but taller!"

Surprised that she was able to remember so much, I didn't respond. I was absent of words because I didn't' expect Hanji to know a lot; my mind already knew who exactly that bitch was; Mikasa.

Nudging Hanji off of my body, I headed straight for my car. The amount of people I shoved in order to leave was more than I could count. Anger was the only thing that fueled my actions knowing my own 'sister' stole Eren from me. She didn't even let him tell me that he was leaving. What a fucking cunt.

My hand swung the car door open—almost ripping the handle off. It didn't even take me twenty seconds to start up the vehicle and book it down the once quiet road. 

The silent lanes were the only thing calm about tonight. The street lights repeatedly shone through my car windows as I passed each one getting faster by the minute. The pedal was nearly down to the floor as houses and parked cars zoomed by my field of vision. 

"Fuck that fucking selfish whore."

With my hands clutching the steering wheel, the car turned into my driveway without any thought of parking correctly. The keys were yanked out of the ignition the moment the vehicle stopped. It was as if everything the world was spinning slower than normal as every move I made became faster and faster. 

The door was unlocked which was shocking, but that didn't effect my behavior. Entering the house, I noticed the kitchen light was on down the hall along with the sound of clinking glassware. My guess was someone was probably doing the dishes. Knowing Eren would be too drunk to do dishes at a time like this, I rushed upstairs to see a light shining underneath Mikasa's door. 

That second my pace slowed knowing Eren was most likely just beyond that door. Even though my head was still fuzzy and my scent consisted of only weed and alcohol, I needed to see him now. Eren tends to overthink the simplest things and that's one of the things he needs to work on later. If he figures out that Mikasa knows about our relationship, he's sure to make terrible decisions. And I'm sure that one of those decisions may be to leave me for the sake of Mikasa. He's too dependent.
