From LKT,

Lauren Kutterfly has created two new books.

2. Saving Rose(Coming Soon to Wattpad!)

Thank you for supporting LKT.

The note below is written by Lauren Kutterfly:

Hey readers! Yes, I did start two new books! Well, three actually, but the third one I'll barely write this year.

But, the point is, check out my newest books whenever you have a chance too! I know that an autobiography sounds lame and boring, but you want to know the secrets about how I plan my books? They're all in there. WARNING! Most of the secrets contain ADHD related stuff so.. you need to have ADHD in order to do most of the things listed there.

If you are a current reader of 'I Still Exist', comment below and the last chapters(coming up) will be dedicated to you.

Yes, A Forbidden Family is ending. 7 more chapters? 8 more? IDK. Let's just wait and see.

Thanks again for supporting me! Now, on with the book!

Chapter 53

Our days passed in bliss and happiness.

I grew closer to Noah, learning more and more about him.

My mom annoyed the hell out of my dad more than usual, but even though Levi scowls and sends glares her way, a small smile plays at the corners of his lips.

Erwin takes Katrina and occasionally Noah,when he's not either with me or training together with me, to fancy restaurants as 'dates'. But, in truth, they feel more like little gifts for the made up time that they lost.

Everyone seemed happy.

Even Eren, whom I didn't see for a long time.

I encountered him in the hallway as me and Noah were walking down to the library.

He was straining under a stack of books, trying to not make one of them slip out of his hands.

If it weren't for his grunts, I wouldn't have noticed him behind his stack. It was so tall that even the very top of his head was blocked.

But as we passed by each other, he suddenly grunted and his grasp loosened, all of the books tumbling onto the floor.

He tripped on one of them and went down with the stack.

I swooped down to help him up, expecting it to be just another clumsy soldier with one too many books.

But things happen.

When Eren turned around to say thank you, his hand rubbing his head in pain, his words got caught in his throat when he saw me.

"K-Karen?!" he gasped. I gasped right along with him.

"What the- Eren?!" I said, a hand covering my mouth in shock.

Eren immediately stood up, dusting off his pants and combing his hair, the books on the floor long forgotten.

"W-What are you doing-," he stammered, slightly blushing, but stopped as his eyes narrowed in at something behind me.

"Who the hell is that?" he asked dangerously.

I turned around and saw Noah standing behind me with a confused expression. I gulped.

Here comes the boring part. Introductions.

"Um, this is my boyfriend, Noah, Eren," I pointed to Noah to make my point. Eren's eyes narrowed even more.

"Boyfriend?" his voice sounded extremely venomous by now. I felt sweat drip off my neck.

"Uh yeah," I said awkwardly and then continued. "And Noah, this is my friend, Eren."

There was silence as both boys stared each other down, one trying to burn holes into the other's head and another trying to bomb the other off the face of Earth with their intense glare.

I coughed, interrupting them.

"Okay, that's enough you two." I said and put both of my hands out, fearing that they'll start a fight. "Shake hands and be friends."

Eren wrinkled his nose and held out his hand.

"I'm only doing this because you said so, Karen," Eren warned me.

Noah took Eren's hand reluctantly an have it a firm shake.

"And I'm only doing this for you, Karen," Noah told me, his eyes never leaving Eren's face.

The two boys continued to glare at each other even though they were basically saying that they were friends, with the hand shaking and all.

Noah pulls his hand back as Eren let his drop to beside his sides.

I coughed again and grabbed Noah's arm.

"Great seeing you again, Eren!" I said cheerfully. Maybe a little too cheerful. "Me and Noah need to go now. See you!"

I have him a small wave before dragging Noah with me down the hall and turned multiple corners until I was sure that we were out of war shot.

When we were, I stopped and let go of Noah's arm.

I glared at him and demanded,"What was that back there?"

Noah shrugged.

"He making a move on you," he answered simply.

I sighed. Noah did turn out to be one of the jealous types.

"Noah, he is just a friend," I explained to him. "You don't need to get so worked up over it."

Noah looked down at his feet.

"I know, but I just don't want to lose you," he whispered softly. "To anyone."

I gently set my hand on his should, causing him to look up into my eyes.

"You won't," I told him firmly. "Because I'm not going anywhere."

A spark of light ignited in Noah's eyes.

"You promise?" he asked. I nodded.

"I promise," I confirmed. Demy's image flashed once through my mind. "An I'm keeping this promise this time."
