Chapter 4: Help

Hanji's POV

Growling at the fact that Erwin wasn't answering his phone, I just grew angrier. "Nanaba, can we go any faster? I really need my phone charger there." She rolls her eyes, just annoyed at me. "Listen, I know you're gonna get real annoyed at me for leaving it there. To be fair, we got drunk on wine, remember? So we weren't exactly in the right mind."

"Yet we remembered to get our apartment keys as well as our cash to get a cab. Funny how that little thing slipped your mind." Nanaba snickered softly, sighing heavily as we got stuck in traffic. "Sheesh... is Erwin that asleep?"

I check my phone, seeing the disappointment already. It's a little past 1 pm. "He's usually up by now... maybe his phone died?"

"Naw, I don't see him forgetting that. He's responsible for his things- he would never let one thing be neglected. That's the kind of man he is." I say confidently, chuckling softly. "It's a good aspect to have in a father."

A quick tap landed on my arm, and Nanaba gasped. "No! Don't tell me-"

"No, it's not that, Nana." I chuckled, continuing to look outside of the window. "We haven't slept with each other yet, so there's no way. I thought of... you know... saving myself until we get married. Ensure that we're stable enough to have a child of our own." I sighed, seeing that we were a 5 minute walk from the apartment. "Nana, I'm gonna jump out and run in. With this traffic, we're not gonna make it through this traffic."

She nods, "Go. I bet I'll move up by a couple inches."

Swiftly, I jumped out and left my phone in the car. Pumping my legs, I ran out to go and get to the apartment. Climbing to the 2nd floor of Erwin's apartment, I bust out my keys for his apartment. And that was when... I noticed something was unusual. What happened was that... his door... wasn't locked. It was unlocked.

Pushing through, I thought of keeping my phone on me. Perhaps something did happen. But first... it was the noises. Peeking my head into the room, I saw I scene I could never forget.  I looked away; my eyes began to overflow with tears. I grabbed my charger and stuffed it in my pocket. Searching throughout the apartment for one of the most expensive things, I grabbed Erwin's laptop.

Enraged, I walked back into the bedroom, tossing the laptop on the ground. "Liar. You liar." I cried before running out of apartment with tears just falling. I just saw him with... some unknown girl. I ran out and didn't stop until I saw Nanaba's car. I got in, breaking down crying.

"Hey hey, Han." She says softly, "What happened?"

"Drive. Just... drive."

"Han-"

"Nanaba... just... drive. Away from here."

She nods as I continued to cry in that passenger seat. Minutes later, still driving in the traffic, I could hear Erwin faintly calling my name. Shouting it at the top of his lungs. I couldn't take it. "What happened...?" Nanaba asked, maintaining the normal speed. 

"He cheated on me." I say, looking through my wallet. "I... I can't be with him anymore. He cheated... he's expecting me to forgive him- I'm not. I'm not ever gonna forgive him."

"Want to go and get some ice cream? Cool down then?"

I shook my head, "No... I'm gonna call someone... remember that guy that found me a week ago?"

That surprised face grew on Nanaba's face. She opened her mouth to say something, but it seemed that she understood. That I needed some other comfort than just friendship. "Go ahead. I'll drive you to wherever you'll meet. But first... let's get out of this traffic. Erwin looks like he's gonna approach any second."

She drives herself out of the traffic near the sidewalk and out into the main stream of cars. "Thanks..."

"Hanji... just be aware that... I'm here for you, alright? Don't just rely heavily on that one man we never knew, alright? For one... he could be some sort stalker that really want to take you away. Just be weary, okay? And I'm not leaving you until I know where he's taking you."

"Alright... I will..."

I dialed up the number, and heard it ring.

Levi's POV

Once my phone began to ring during practice, I immediately stopped playing on my guitar and went over. Of course, Isabel was complaining about it, but I ignored her. It was an unknown number, but I still answered it. 

"Levi Ackerman." I say, quickly hearing a frantic voice.

"L-Levi?"

I recognized her voice, "Hanji." I rose my hand to Isabel and Farlan, walking out to get some privacy. "Hanji, what's wrong? You sound panicked."

"Yeah... c-can we meet please? I just... want to talk to someone else about what's going on."

"Alright. I won't dive deep into it. Wherever you want to be-"

"Your home? Something. Away from this city."

I nodded, looking out to see if there was anything that would reveal my identity as the singer in UFO. "Yeah, I'll give you the address. Though it wouldn't be that hard to find. We'll chat when you get here, alright?"

"Okay... as a heads up, I'm bringing my friend, Nanaba. Remember her? She was the woman I was with when you met me."

I chuckled softly, hearing her like that. "Yeah, it's fine. Got a couple of friends over as well. I'll talk to you in a few."

Hanging up, I quickly texted my address. "Who was the person that ignored practice, Levi-Bro? Was it another telemarketer and you were telling 'em off? Who was it? Who? Who?!" Isabel chuckled frantically for an answer.

"It was the woman I fell for. She called. Something happened and I invited her here."

"At this time? You're dedicated. Aren't you interfering with their relationship-" I cut Farlan off, stopping him dead in his tracks. 

"I don't know. I didn't want to pry in her business yet. Not until she gets here and she feels comfortable. They'll be here in a few minutes, so... let's not get caught, alright? No need to bring publicity to our real selves."
