Since that fight with Marco, Jean never saw him for the rest of the day, or the next day and the day after that. As the past couple of days passed Jean grew more and more anxious.

He had a bad feeling, a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen. Each time he felt that way he denied it and tried to distract himself.

It lingered at the back of his head and finally he couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed his phone for the millionth time today and texted Marco, again.

No answer.

He tried calling.

No answer.

Jean cursed under his breath and quickly scrolled through his contacts and pressed on the name Suicidal Freak and called.

There was a short ringing sound and soon someone picked up, "hello?" A feminine voice asked.

Jean gasped, coughed then cleared his throat. What the hell is Mikasa doin' with his phone? He thought and shook his head.

"Hey Mikasa, can you hand the phone to Eren? I gotta talk to him." Jean calmly said.

"Sure." Mikasa said.

Whilst Jean waited he heard Mikasa call for Eren. There was then a sudden crash and the sound of Mikasa's worried voice, then a chuckle, "hey horse face." Eren said.

"What happened there?" Jean asked eyebrow raised.

"Nothing, I just tripped." Eren answered.

"Uh... ok?" Jean questioned but then shook his head, "anyway, can I come over for a sec? Sorry if you have to leave Mikasa at the hospital."

"No it's fine," Eren began, "a couple of days ago I asked if I could bring Mikasa over to my place and now I can bring her over if she wants to."

"Oh?" Jean asked and he smiled mischievously, "you're not doing anything dirty to her, now are you?" He asked.

"WHAT THE FUCK MAN!!" Eren yelled through the phone making Jean pull the phone away from his ear, "I WILL MURDER YOU WHEN YOU COME OVER!"

Jean laughed, "I'll take that as a yes." He stubbornly said.

"IT'S A NO YOU IDIOT!!!" Eren yelled and Jean laughed so hard that he fell off his bed.

A few minutes later Jean finally stopped laughing."Sorry, sorry," Jean said as he calmed down, "anyway I'll be there in ten minutes."

Without another word Jean hung up, he grabbed his house keys and jacket and left the house. Ten minutes later Jean arrived at Eren's place.

He knocked on the door and the sound of barking and a faint yell could be heard from inside the house. The door finally opened to reveal Eren and his dog Felix who barked and wagged his tail.

Jean chuckled and patted the dog before entering the house to be greeted by Mikasa and her warm smile. Jean smiled back and waved at the ebony haired girl.

"So, what do you want horse face?" Eren asked sitting on a stool by the kitchen. Jean took his jacket off and hung it on the coat hangers, he took his shoes off and wore extra slippers that Eren had placed for him.

"Do you have Marco's number?" Jean asked.

Eren raised an eyebrow, "yeah," he responded hesitantly, "don't you have it as well?"

Jean nodded in response, "I do... but..." Jean paused as flashbacks of the argument he had with Marco played again and again in his mind. He bit his lip hard enough to almost draw blood.

Eren sighed, "I told you that this was going to happen," Eren said running his hand through his brown locks, "alright, here."

The brunette handed his phone to Jeam who thanked him and immediately started going through Eren's contacts.

His eyes lit up when he finally found Marco's name and pressed the call button. Jean held the phone against his ear as it ran and rang.

There was no answer.

Jean cursed under his breath and Eren looked at Jean, "something wrong?" The brunette asked.

"He's not answering." Jean answered and dialed Marco again, but to no avail. Jean handed Eren's phone back whilst letting out a sigh of defeat.

"Why isn't he picking up?!" He let out clenching his fists and covered his face with his hands.

Eren sighed and tried dialing Marco once again. He let it ring for a couple of minutes but then finally gave up. That's weird of him not to pick up. Eren thought.

Mikasa looked at the two boys who obviously looked concerned and stressed after many tries. "What's going on?" She asked.

"Its nothing Mikasa, you don't have to stress yourself with this." Eren said smiling gently at the ebony haired girl.

"But I want to help." Mikasa said.

Eren sighed, "if you want to help us, then do you know anything about Marco? You know, that boy that left earlier than everyone else when we first came to visit you?" Eren asked.

Mikasa though for a moment until she remembered something, "oh! Yesterday when you were out shopping and you left your phone here Marco called you." She explained.

"He what?!" Eren exclaimed, "are you sure it was Marco?"

Mikasa nodded, "I answered and he was surprised I was the one who answered the phone. I don't know why but I felt like something weird was going on with Marco, he seemed... sad." Mikasa explained.

Jean furrowed his eyebrows, "did he say anything?" He asked.

Mikasa shook her head, "all we did was talk about random things that came to mind and it was around three that Marco had to go." She finished.

Jean clicked his tongue and stared out the window. Damn it! Where could Marco be?! Jean thought his fists shaking. Marco... please...

Eren took out his phone and texted the group chat. Jean checked his phone and looked at Eren. "What? Marco could've contacted everyone yesterday too. I mean I don't know if its really everyone, but yeah."

Sasha:
Actually, yeah.
He texted me yesterday
said some random stuff
and we just talked.

"See?" Eren asked and Jean rolled his eyes.

"Yeah but it's just Sash-"

"Armin too." Eren cut in.

Armin:
Same as Sasha.

Bertholdt:
Me too.

Reiner:
I was with Bert that time.

Christa:
He called me. Idk why but
he sounded really down.

"Wow, so then including me that's six people he contacted yesterday." Eren said.

But why them?! Jean thought gritting his teeth. What about me Marco? I want to talk to you, I want to make things clear and finally be together again. So why?

Eren looked at Jean from the corner of his eye and frowned, "listen, you should go home. I'll let you know if I find something about Marco, ok?" He asked.

Jean reluctantly nodded and gathered his things before leaving. While he made his way home Jean looked up at the sky with only one thought in mind:

Where did you go, Marco?
