Long sleeves [Mikannie] [DISCONTINUED]

3. Dreaming of a better life

⚠️Self Harm & Abuse Tigger Warning ⚠️

Annie scuffed while scrubbing the hell out
of the mirrors.
" damn Leonhart! I don't want to be here with you either and I'm not planning to ruin the place!" Mikasa was fed up with Annie's childish actions right now. Annie wouldn't stop being so aggressive with the cleaning equipment. It was driving mikasa crazy

" fuck off ackerman! It pouring like hell! By the time we get to our cars we'd be soak as fuck!"
Annie snapped back.
" atleast you don't have to walk!" Mikasa retorted. Slamming her wet rag in the soapy water bucket.
A silence slowly fell onto them. Why did Annie feel bad? It's not like she'd never been thrown out in the rain.
" what about Yeager? Or Arlet? Or fucking Kirschtein?!" Annie didn't knew why she asked in the first place.

" one, armins at the library studying, erens at football practice and jean finished like i don't know, two hours ago!?"

"Fuck! Why are you making me feel bad!" Annie threw her hands up.

" that's your emotions I can't control them!"

It felt like the bickering never stopped. The two where going at it, screaming at each other left to right.

" oh. My. God. BOTH OF YOU, GO HOME NOW!" Pxyis yelled from outside of the room. Not only was he fed up but he began to regret his decision of not suspending them in the first place.

They both glared at each other and forcefully threw there cleaning supplies away.

Both of them walked out into the pouring rain.
" do you atleast have an umbrella." Annie asked. Ashamed she was actually going to give mikasa a ride home.

" no." Mikasa quickly ended the short conversation.

Annie threw her hand up once more in defeat.
She put her bag in the back seat and started her car up. She watched as mikasa wrapped her self up in her red scarf. She looked lonely.

Annie knew that feeling far too well. She knew how it felt to be alone in the dark when the rain was beating down on you.
She clenched her jaw, ran her hand through her hair, and punched her steering wheel.

" damn it."

Mikasa watched as Annie's car stopped near her. The tinted window slowly began to roll down.

" get it." Annie said lowly.

Mikasa cocked an eyebrow.
" hell no! What if you kidnap me or something!"
"Is that how lowly you think of me!?!"
" yes!"
Annie shut her eyes tightly. Her patience was running out. She opened her mouth to say something but mikasa opened the back seat door and hopped it.

Annie was taken back, but soon She sighed.
" give me your address."

" I'll just text it to you, give me your number."

The drive was peaceful. Annie knew it would best to drive like a citizen since she had mikasa Ackerman in her car. Although, the sound of the heavy rain droplets making their way onto the roof of Annie's car, really set mikasa in a dream like state.

She almost felt... safe.

"Here we are, Ms. Ackerman." Annie said is a mock tone.

" thank you."
Mikasa was actually enjoying the trouble makers company, until she got a text from Jean.

Then she remembered what that horrible monster did to her boyfriend.
Mikasa slinked out of the car. She stopped and motioned Annie to roll down her window.

" ye-" the driver was greeted with a harsh slap to the face.

" that's for Jean." Mikasa replied coldly.
Annie stared at the driveway infront of her. Her knuckles began to turn white as the deadly grip on the steering wheel was the only thing stopping her from fighting.

After mikasa opened her front door and entered her house.
Annie put her car in reverse and sped off.
Pissed she let her guard down.

"Fuck you too Ackerman."

When Annie went home she was welcomed with also a slap. Her father was drunk. She could smell him from an mile away.
" why are you so-'hiccup' Late!"
That's the only thing the man every did. Yell like he was talking to a bunch of inmates.
He pulled his belt off and Annie only sighed.
She's been through this multiple times.
And every time, It still hurt.

Annie sat in her bathroom. Her body burning and bruised from being her dads personal punching bag. She started crying.

Why'd it have to be this way?
Why couldn't they have been a normal father a daughter?
Why could Annie get rid of the pain?
She trembled as she reached in a drawer and pulled out a razor blade.
She looked at herself in the morning. The scars that lined her arms. Barcode-like lines that could scan ten items at least.

One cut.
Two cuts.
Three cuts.
Ten cuts.

Her mind thought back to mikasa. How she also punished her for something she didnt do. Well yeah she beat the hell out of Jean, but she had good morals.

The truth? The truth was Annie looked up to mikasa. How she have everything given to her. How she was so popular and loved.

Why couldn't things be easier. Annie eyed the thick dark red liquid spewing out of the cuts she made.

She wiped the blood away, wrapped her arms in gauze, And went to sleep.

Dreaming of a better life.
