{Yandere EreMika} Only Mine...

Chapter 19: Questioning

Eren's POV

"You were at whose house?!" How his eyes popped out when I said where I stayed at. The Ackermans allowed me to go back home after I had promised to stay silent about their secret- and keeping Mikasa safe. I had to explain everything about me staying at Mikasa's house because we were gonna start dating- which was very plausible. Armin was the last to know. "Mikasa was with you?!"

I nodded my head, sighing heavily. "Well... yeah. I was with her the whole entire time... why?"

He looked down and into his hands, sighing heavily once more. It was almost like what he was about to speak was taboo- but I felt like I knew what he was going to say. After all... before I had disappeared with Mikasa that night... I was a key witness to murders of the bullies.

"Armin?"

But I had to play along... in order to keep them all safe. Yes... I wanted to keep them safe... but what this situation had been put upon me... I can't handle it. The only true innocent one was Mrs. Ackerman's unborn baby... it wasn't born yet. Mrs. Ackerman was someone to be blamed as well- she allowed too many people to die. She allowed her husband to kill... and did nothing to stop him. Only her pleas. But then again... aren't I doing the same with Mikasa...?

"Remember those bullies...?" I nodded my head in response. "They're... they're dead... someone killed them. The police are... considering keeping the school open. The school staff wants to close it- but the police are saying they're getting some higher ups... higher ups, Eren..."

"Like... agents...?"

Armin nodded his head with his eyes shining of fear. "They are really wanting to close the case... as well as that case from so long ago- well... just about 10 years ago or so..."

I could feel the color draining from my face when I heard that. If they truly were thinking of solving those cases from long ago... the Ackermans would be in so much trouble...

"You okay?"

Shaking off the uneasy feeling, I nodded my head. "Y-Yeah... I'm fine... I guess the thought that agents coming over to investigate is very... intimidating...? We never had a thing like this before... so it just startles me... you know?"

Armin nodded his head, nudging me a bit. "Yeah, yeah... but still. We're still going to school... I wonder why though..."

"Whatever the case is..." I looked towards my stuff, ready to head off to school. Maybe not too thrilled about the fact that the Ackermans would be staring me down with daggers for eyes to protect their family's secret. In any case... I'm part of the whole thing. With me being a witness to some murders of those bullies... I'm what- an accessory...? I would still have time to go to juvenile detention or something like that. "Let's just get this over with... I don't like this..."

"Same here. Sadly we'll just get punished for staying home instead of going to school."

"Yeah... yeah..."
