(A/N Sorry for the random time skip at the beginning. I had originally made for this next part to come straight after what happened last time but it just seemed too soon so yeah. Enjoy :) )

A few weeks later, I was sleeping when my phone vibrated. It was a message from Eren. 

Hey :) I have an idea! Phone me when you get this! 

I stared dumbly at the screen for a bit. It's 2:47... I phoned him anyway. 

"Hey!" Well he sounded chipper. 

"Hi," I said groggily. 

"Oh, I'm sorry. Were you sleeping?" 

"Yes Eren, I was sleeping like every other sane person in the world." 

He chuckled. 

"Anyway, what's your idea?" 

"My parents have a house not too far from school and they said it's about time I lived by myself anyway. Wanna come?" 

There was a long pause as I was trying to work out if he was being serious or not. 

"Did you die?" 

I chuckled, "No sorry. I'm trying to work out whether you're being serious or not." 

"I'm being dead serious." 

"Uh...yeah," I couldn't believe I was doing this. "Eren, my dads will never think that this is a good idea. So do you mind if I crash at your house tonight?" 

"Yeah! That's fine." 

I hung up the phone and started packing a bag. I was trying as hard as I could to be quiet, and was succeeding for the most part. That is, until knocked over the vase at the bottom of the stairs. 

Lights starting turning on upstairs. 

"(Y/N)? What are yo-" I turned to see both dad and Dave at the top of the stairs. They were both looking at the large duffel bag that I was carrying. "Where are you going?" 

I was racking my brain trying to find a possible reason as to where I was going at three in the morning. "I felt like snacks?" 

"Cut the crap!" Dave shouted, "You were going to see that boy, weren't you!" 

I looked at the floor but didn't say anything. 

"What's in the bag?" dad asked. 

I had run out of excuses, I just looked at the floor. Dave walked up to me and snatched the duffel bag. He opened it up and started taking the contents out. 

"A change of clothes for about a week, your laptop, tablet, phone, all your school supplies... Where the hell were you going?" 

"I," I started fumbling with the bottom of my shirt, "I was going to stay with Eren for a while. He got a new house and asked if I wanted to move in with him." 

"And you just said yes?" I turned to see Steph at the top of the stairs, "You weren't going to tell anyone? Just leave in the middle of the night?" 

I looked down again and became rather interested in the pattern on my shoes. 

"Everyone, go back to bed. If (Y/N) really doesn't want to stay here, they know where the front door is." 

I looked up again to see my dad walk back into his room. Dave went up stairs, so did Steph. 

Tears welled up in my eyes as I typed a message to Eren. 

I'm sorry, I'm not coming. 

I packed up my stuff and went back to bed.

Hi, welcome to another update. I had originally planned for (Y/N) to move in with Eren, but I was struggling with how everything would tie in. So I didn't do that.

Anyway, Merry Christmas and I'll see you in the next update :)
