I was leaving today.

Correction, I was already at the airport.

I was seated in a seat with my suitcase at my side whilst I waited for my gate number to get called. Eren was beside me, holding my hand.
"You'll be fine. All you've gotta do is go 5 months and finish finals, come back home, have a baby, and then we can finally get married." He assured me.
"I know.. it's just that..." My voice trailed off.
"What? It's just that what?"
"He's gonna be here. He can come over to my house anytime and.." I put a hand to my forehead, my head aching.

"Hey, hey. Relax Mikasa. You'll be fine. I've already paid the rest of your tuition fee, so you don't have to see him anymore." He kissed me on the cheek.
I looked up. "Yeah.. I won't have to see him anymore.."

Then, I heard my zone get called on the speaker so I stood up and grabbed my suitcase by the handle. Eren gave me a hug before I could walk off. "Promise me that you'll be fine?" He held up his pinky. I smiled, tears in my eyes. I wrapped my pinky around his. "Promise.." I gave him a kiss on the lips, then walked to my plane for my flight.
I sighed as I boarded the plane..
'I'm sorry, Eren. I can't keep the promise. I'm going to worry.'

After an 8 hour flight, I finally arrived. I walked inside of the airport and grabbed my luggage and took my phone out and texted Nifa, since she'd be picking me up.

Mikasa
I'm waiting by the exit.

Nifa(roommate)
Alright, I'm here.

I looked for Nifa's car and I saw her, pulling up into the pick-up area. I walked up to her car and got into the passenger seat. She smiled.
"Did he--" she began.
I held up my ring finger, exposing my engagement ring. "He did."
She squealed and I blushed, flustered and embarrassed.
"I'm so happy for you, Miki!" Nifa squealed like a Japanese schoolgirl. She had automatically given me the nickname Miki.
"Thanks." I gushed.

She drove us to our college dorm and we walked inside. We gave the front desk lady our id and she let us pass. We walked past the security guards on the first floor and walked into the elevator. Nifa pressed the button and the elevator took us to our floor.

When the doors opened, we walked into the hallway and heard a crash. Nifa and I turned our heads to look down the hallway and saw two security guards tackling a guy who must've broken in. "Ignore them." Nifa said. I nodded and walked the opposite way of the hallway to our dorm. That's when I heard a familiar voice call my name.

"MIKASA!! I'M HERE FOR HER!! SHE'S MY GIRLFRIEND!"

I froze, turned my head around slowly, then observed the face of the guy that was being tackled. He had black hair in a bowl cut and a smug face. I was right... it was Marlo.

"Do you know this guy, ma'am?", one of the guards asked me.
"Uhh.." I froze. My heartrate was increasing in an unhealthy method was and my face was bright red, embarrassed. I was frozen stiff, unaware of how to answer him.
Nifa nudged my elbow, snapping me out of it and back to reality.
"Uhh N-n-no. No. I.. I've never seen him before in my life." I held up my ring finger then. "I'm taken, I couldn't have been his girlfriend." I answered.

Marlo's jaw dropped, and to be honest... I wanted to drop my jaw too. 'How was I so calm?'

"You heard the lady, you're intruding." The guards helped him to his feet, but they locked his hands behind his back. They led him to the stairs and walked him back downstairs to take him outside.
Nifa put her hand on my shoulder. "You did a good thing."
I nodded and exhaled shakily. I followed her back to our dorm and decided to leave it be. What's done is done, and there's no changing that.
After we were in our dorm and I had finished unpacking, I decided to go to the library to refresh my mind for upcoming finals. Nifa wanted to join me but she had work, meaning that I would be by myself. Deciding not to hinder her with the duty of having to drop me off at the library, I walked there alone.

"Man, it kind of feels refreshing to be back." I mused as I walked to the library. I was walking in a crowd of people until I took a right and everyone else went left or straight. I looked back to the group of people while I shuffled onward. "Guess that I'm gonna be the only one at the library." I shrugged.
I used my phone as I made my way to the library, not wanting to feel bored. Then suddenly as I scrolled through Instagram, I felt a sudden weird feeling spread throughout my body. I was trembling for no reason and my heart rate increased rapidly. I looked to my shaking fingers as my eyes widened.

"Wh-what's this? Why do I feel so.. so nervous?" I looked behind me, but saw nothing but buildings and a road which had no cars driving on it. Suddenly, I heard a rustle in a nearby bush in a grassy area far behind me.
"Wh-who's there?!" I called out.
No response.
Feeling uneasy, I began sprinting to the library. I felt a presence near me. But what? Or shall I say... who?

I arrived not too soon later and was gasping for breath. I looked behind me again before entering the library and I walked in. I walked to book shelves of the subjects that I'd be tested on and I grabbed a few books. I sat down at a table and grabbed my backpack that I had carried with me. I took out my laptop and a notebook and pencil bag. I felt this uncertain feeling pass and I could finally relaxed my tense nerves.
I opened my notebook and went over the books as well as turned on my computer. I felt scared, wariness.

'What if I fail? What if I let Eren down? What if everybody leaves me and I'm alone again? What if I have to live my parents aga--?!' I cut myself off. 'I cannot allow that to happen. I refuse to go back to my parents. My parents are no longer an option. I'm an adult. I need to handle my shit and strive. Yes. Even if Eren leaves me, I'll still have you..' I looked down to my stomach and placed a gentle hand on it. 'That's right. I'm not alone. Not anymore..'
I heard a seat get pulled up right next to me and I heard someone sit down.
"Hey."
My eyes widened and my pupils shrunk whilst all color drained from my face. My heart rate increased rapidly again and I could hear it in my ears. My throat swelled up I began trembling violently. I looked up to face the voice with absolute fear in my eyes.
"M-Marlo?"
