(A/N: Most of you already know, but I did make an error in chapter 13. In chapter 11, Eren is there to see Marco's cast, but in chapter 13 he's already kidnapped. It made some people confused, so I'm sorry for the error! I hope you enjoy this chapter.)

"Missing"

Carla

Location: St. Maria Hospital

"Why!, Why am I just now hearing this!" I sobbed as I sat up in my hospital bed. The doctors and nurses looked at each other, not knowing what to say or do.

"Well? I expect an answer!" I yelled as I looked at each and every one of them. Tears ran down my cheeks as I desperately tried to wipe them all away.

"Ms. Jäeger, please..." The doctor began, but I interrupted him.

"Mrs. Jaeger." I whispered.

"I'm sorry?" He said.

"Mrs. Jäeger," I said it even louder and then they looked at each other once more.

"We spoke about this Carla, your husband.." A doctor trailed off as he held his clipboard tightly.

"Stop! I don't want to hear it!" I yelled as I held up my arm, that was connected to a needle and wire.

"But-"

"He'll be back! He's coming back!! He wouldn't leave me." I said as I looked at then with narrowed eyes.

"He...wouldn't leave me." I said as I held my sides and looked down at my bed sheets. The doctors talked to one another off to the side as I was catching my breath.

"Doctor.." A nurse whispered in the tall older mans ear. He had grey streaks in his hair that contrasted his original black hair color.

"I know. That was over 8 years ago when he left. His departure was just...he vanished - once he found out his wife was sick." He murmured under his breath.

"Do you think-"

"Of course. He said he went to go try and develop a cure, and that would be helpful, yes. Though, he wasn't a very good doctor - maybe even crazy. When he left, her sickness got even worse, due to her way of dealing with stress-" The doctor said.

"-Smoking." The nurse finished as she swallowed slowly and looked back over to me.

"Exactly." He said and sighed, putting a hand through his hair and looking back over to me. I heard them. I heard what they said.

"Don't worry. My husband will be back soon with a cure. You'll see." I said as I looked towards the window.

"He's been gone for 8 years, don't you think your so-called husband would have been back by now?" The intern snapped as he looked towards me.

My head turned around so fast to glare at him, that I thought my neck would crack. I was about to snap at him when the doctor yelled at him.

"Thats enough! Get out of here!" He pointed to the door and the intern merely took his clipboard and left the room.

I guess he decided to change the subject because he went back to what he told me earlier.

"Your son has been missing for more than a month..."

"Are they still searching?!" I quickly looked at him with desperate eyes. I started tearing up and crying immediately. My only son. Missing.

"Why...why are you telling me this and It's been a damn month. You should have told me the day it happened." I hissed and I glared at them.

"MY SON IS ALL I HAVE!" I yelled and then I clutched my chest having a hard time breathing all of a sudden. The heart monitor on the side of me started going crazy and the doctors all stopped standing around.

Many of them went to my side and pushed me softly back down as I was still clutching my chest and having difficulty breathing. "She's having a heart attack!" A nurse yelled as she quickly checked my pulse.

"This is what I was afraid of. I knew we shouldn't have told her." The doctor mumbled and then shook his head. He quickly ordered two other nurses and doctors to do something.

The pain started going down from my chest to my abdomen and I yelled out in pain, all the while my heart is hurting like hell. One of the nurses held me down and plunged a needle into my arm.

All the while when this was happening, I remembered way back.

Back when Eren was only 15 years old. The day when Grisha also left.

"Mom! I'm going to go hang out with Armin and Mikasa!" Eren yelled from on top of the stairs. He ran downstairs and held a skateboard in his hands.

"Eren. Where's your helmet? You know I don't let you ride your skateboard without your-"

"Mooooommm" he sighed loudly. "My helmet is too small. It won't fit me." He said as he held his skateboard closer.

I only smiled and rubbed his head. "You better ask one of your friends to give you one then."

"Like Armin? I think he has one too many." Eren joked as he rolled his eyes and smiled up at me.

I gave him an amused giggle and smile, and kissed his forehead. "I bet he does." He opened the door and ran in the direction to Armin's house.

I stayed at the front door and watched him until he went around the corner of the block. I felt a large and warm hand on my shoulder, I looked up and of course my husband Grisha stood right behind me.

"We need to talk Carla." He said, and that was all he said before he went towards the living room.

My hands started to shake, I knew what he was talking about. The answer would always be no.

I rubbed the side of my eye as I close the front door and went in the living room where he was waiting for me.

"Carla, please reconsider." Grisha said as he sat down next to me. His hand was laid on my thigh and I closed my eyes and shook my head.

"You have to think about this. Think about his future!" He yelled.

"I am! You're making a mistake!" I yelled as I glared back at him. He only sighed and took off his glasses to fix them and put them back on.

"Carla, In order for this to be approved both parents must agree with one another and sign this form to be sent back from where it came from." Grisha said as he slid the form towards me.

I kept shaking my head and put my hands over my eyes. "No, no, no.." I said through my teeth.

"Eren has an out of control attitude Carla. He's always getting into fights, and sometimes he starts the fights! We have to think long-term here, if he grows up with this attitude he could end up on the streets. Or worse, in Jail." Grisha explained as he kept staring at me.

"Don't you want what's best for him?" He said.

"AND SENDING HIM AWAY TO A MILITARY ACADEMY IS WHATS BEST FOR HIM?" I yelled as tears streamed down my cheeks. "We can't send him away! Not for 5 years. No." I said as I wiped my tears away.

"Carla-"

"You don't know what he'll be like when he grows up, Grisha."

"And you don't either"

"I'm not doing this." I said as I got up and walked towards the kitchen.

"WOMAN, IF YOU DON'T GET BACK IN HERE RIGHT NOW I'M GOING TO-"

"I'm not signing it! I'm not!" I yelled as I tried to preoccupy myself with something else.

"So help me..if your stupid decision makes him end up in fucking jail-"

"You want to send him away so badly! What's wrong with you?!" I yelled.

"Sometimes you just say the bitchiest of things." Grisha hissed.

I was going to yell back at him. Argue with him like we always do, and we'll stop to go back to our normal activities.

Then suddenly, I couldn't speak anymore and I fell to the floor, trying to catch my breath.

"Carla?! Carla, what's wrong!!" Grisha said as he got on his knees and looked at me with concern.

I couldn't breathe. I couldn't speak and I clutched my chest as the pain wouldn't stop. Then it did stop. Everything stopped and I just laid there. Not making a sound.

"Carla! Carla!!" He yelled as he put an ear to my chest. "You're not breathing. Oh my god-" he yelled as he grabbed a nearby phone and dialed nine-one-one. Telling them everything.

"Carla. Don't worry okay..don't worry." He said as he quickly started to perform CPR. He put his mouth on mine and quickly blew, before going and pumping my chest.

The paramedics arrived quickly and moved him aside. "Sir, leave this to the professionals" the man quickly said as he brought a machine next to him along with someone else.

They put me on a stretcher and carried me outside, laying me on the ground. "What's going on?"

"Is someone dying?"

"Let me see," Many people crowded around them and the paramedics pushed them back just to have space.

"Hurry! Please save my wife! I didn't mean to say those things! I didn't mean to.." He said in between sobs as he watched them perform an expert version of CPR.

"Not responding. Ready up the defibrillator." One of them said to the other and the other quickly nodded.

"Oh my god.." He mumbled in distress.

The other paramedic quickly readied it up and the other man unbuttoned my blouse and made sure my skin was exposed. This was so the defibrillator would make contact with the skin and closer to the heart.

The same man put a liquid gel on my chest, in preparation for the sudden shock. He then once more nodded to the other.

"Charging....200....Clear!" He yelled as he brought it down on my chest and my chest arched as it did so. No response.

"Charging...300...Clear!" He yelled as he did it once more and my chest went up and then down. Still no response.

"Charging...500...Clear!" He yelled once more and my body heaved up, my mouth wide open as I took a deep breath in. My eyes wide, almost as if I didn't know where I was.

"She's back." He said and the many people from around the block were cheering outside all around them.

They put an oxygen mask over my mouth and I just closed my eyes again.

When I opened my eyes, I was in the hospital. "What...what's going on.." I mumbled as I sat up.

"You're in St. Maria hospital Mrs. Jäeger." The doctor said as he held up a clipboard. "You had a heart attack. I believe this is due to your stress and past smoking habits." He explained.

"But..I stopped smoking a while ago." I said.

"Smoking has long-term effects. It looks like it caught up with you. We did a thorough examination at your chest and lungs, and it seems you have Emphysema. You may have to stay here for a while before we can let you go." He said as he read off his clipboard.

I looked at him in confusion, everything was happening so fast to me. "E-Emphysema?" I asked.

"Emphysema is the destruction and enlargement of air spaces. It makes it very difficult to breathe and it blocks Airflow. It could last for a few years...or for life." He said.

I hugged my knees as I listened to him. I should've never started smoking. Wait. "Where's my husband?" I asked as I looked around.

"He...uhm...he left."

"What do you mean he left!?" I yelled as I looked at the doctor in front of me.

"Once I explained to him - while you were still unconscious - that you had Emphysema, he became sure of himself that he would make a cure and heal you" he said as he looked at me with wary eyes.

"And?! That doesn't give him any excuse to just leave me! To leave our son!" I yelled, and I rubbed my eyes.

"He can do it. He can find a cure and come back to me...back to us" I said under my breath.

"Except..Emphysema is incurable." He doctor said. I didn't seem to listen because I didn't want to hear it. After I got out of the hospital, I continued smoking because I was depressed.

I wasn't like those moms on those TV shows though. I never hit my son because I was so depressed and lonely, I love Eren. I just found smoking as a bad gateway.

After what happened, I laid in my bed and started crying. I truly have nobody now. Nobody.

The door to my room opened and I stayed curled in my hospital bed. "You know, its okay to cry." A hand propped on my shoulder and I looked behind me.

It was the intern from before, and I guess he was just checking on me. I quickly wiped my tears away and looked at him. "What's your name?"

"Shadis. Keith Shadis."

Eren

"Eren, how's your soup?" Levi asked as he saw me trying to sneak a sip of it in my mouth. All this time I tried to make it seem like I wasn't eating, but I just got too hungry.

His food always looked good, and he never poisoned anything. "Its fine." I mumbled as I sat back in my chair.

That's right. I had a chair now.

He had been bringing stuff in when he saw me become less violent. I started accepting this.

Maybe Levi really was just trying to protect me. Protect me from the outside and from dangerous people.

"I'm glad you like it. When you were sleeping, I brought down an extra TV and set it up. So you can watch some TV! Isn't that something?" He said with a smirk. I didn't respond.

"You know, for being such a good boy." He came over to me and cupped my cheek, kissing it.

"Did you really have an extra TV? Or did you steal it." I said as I looked at him. He stayed silent for a while before smirking.

"You caught me. I did steal it, I only had to kill one person so it wasn't much of a workout." He said as he turned on the TV to change the subject.

"Eren Jäeger, has been missing for more than a month now and if anyone has any information on his whereabouts, we encourage you to please step forward..." A man said on TV, as he continued to read off the paper.

They're looking for me. They're actually still looking for me!

There's not way Levi can keep here forever. They must have me on Amber alert and everything, look at him. I looked towards Levi and saw his face as he looked towards the TV.

He looked pissed. "Nevermind that." Levi said as he clicked the TV off.

"What are you going to do to me. You've waited for so long." I said as I sat in the chair with my arms crossed.

"What do you mean? I'm not going to to hurt you Eren. Only if you misbehave. What do you think I would do to you?" Levi said as he cocked his head to the side.

"I dunno. Rape me?"

"Eren. I would never rape you. Rape is wrong and disgusting. I'll only have sex with you when its consensus. "

"Oh yeah. Like killing people isn't wrong. There's no way I'd have fucking sex with someone like you." I spat as I glared towards the wall.

"You will soon, brat." He said and chuckled as he grabbed the bowl of soup.

"Wait." I said. He quickly turned around with a ray of hope, as if I was going to forget all about him killing my friends and let him have his way with me.

"I'm not done with that soup." I said and he set it back down with a smirk.

"Have a good night Eren" Levi said as he was going up the stairs. He stopped when he heard me murmur something. "What was that?"

"I.....I want to go home." I mumbled.

"Eren, you are home." He said as he looked at him and rolled his eyes. He smirked and chuckle, "idiot."

(A/N: Thank you all again for being so Patient and for sticking around in my story. I can't believe how many people are reading it. Just thank you so much.)

(A/N2: I also want to stress something. In my story, Smoking and Rape is mentioned. Never start smoking or if you are, I advise you quit quickly. Smoking will cause Lung diseases and it can eventually lead to death. Rape is horrible. If you know someone who has been raped or sexually abused, please report it to someone or the authorities.)
